... mallecho' he meant mischief; he was the sort of person who could "adduce economic and political justifications in support of running his companions through treachery". 39 And so, on 31 August, Kanailal Dutt and Satyendra Bose found the chance to kill the wretched Gossain in a narrow alley leading from the jail hospital to jail gate, and thereby to silence him for ever. At once the little freedom... freedom that had been given to the prisoners was now taken away, and once again they were removed to their respective cells. Collected in two installments the accused numbered forty-four. As for Kanailal and Satyendra, although their audacious action predictably attracted summary punishment. They nevertheless won renown, in Sisirkumar Mitra's words, as "two of the greatest martyrs in the cause of... till the last. Wasn't Sri Aurobindo shaken - wasn't he at least disturbed - by the chain of events: the framing of charges, the committal to sessions, the killing of Gossain, the martyrdom of Kanailal and Satyen, the closure of the Bande Mataram'] What was the meaning of it all? Weren't blind or evil forces operating, turning everything awry? But no! Sri Aurobindo's faith stood like a rock ...
... very happy to sacrifice his life for the country. The fire of patriotism burns in his eyes. After Khudiram was hanged, Kanailal Dutt and Satyendranath Bose also sacrificed their lives on the gallows. They too went out with the matri-mantra Vande Mataram on their lips. On seeing Kanailal Dutt’s photograph, the Mother asked Mona: “Was he with Sri Aurobindo?” Hardly had Mona said ‘yes’ that the Mother... It is clearly written on his face that he was with Sri Aurobindo — it is like an aura. His psychic being is burning intensely; it is quite an individualised psychic being. It is said that after Kanailal had been sentenced to death, he started putting on weight. And when the sentries came to fetch him on the last day they found him sound asleep. They had to wake him up. And smiling he went to the... 1933, Pradyut got ready. He washed himself, finished his puja and waited. The sentries were amazed. Then he climbed up the steps on to the gallows all by himself. A large smile lit up his face. Like Kanailal, he too had put on weight. “Are you ready, Pradyut?” questioned the Jail Superintendent, Mr. Burge. “Absolutely!” he replied with a laugh. “I am ready. Now do what you have to do.” His being ...
... approached Mirra to gain her support and her confidence. When young Kanailal Ganguly asked Mirra what his relation with her would be, she said simply: My dear child, it will be a relationship of a child with its mother. It will be a very sweet relation, constant. Both Sri Aurobindo and Mirra took charge of Kanailal, but whenever he approached the Master for help or for counsel or for... interest Mirra took in trees, plants and flowers, and in the rest of the infinite and infinitely variegated forms of life. There was, for example, her interest in cats. When a new visitor, Kanailal Ganguly, then 22, came in July 1923 to see Sri Aurobindo, at the time of his second interview he saw Mirra too: It was the first time that I saw the Mother. She looked at me for a second. She... for the removal of difficulties, the answer came that he would do it "through Mirra". Later, when in one of his moments of perplexity Kanailal approached Mirra and asked about the best way of doing Yoga, she said disarmingly: You have to aspire, you have to reject; but the best is if you can keep me in your heart, if you love me, then you will have to do nothing. I shall do all for you. 16 ...

So Kanailal Ganguly: ‘It was the first time that I saw the Mother. She looked at me for a second. She was very beautiful, looked much younger than her age.’ 20 A.B. Purani writes: ‘This time [in 1921] I saw... form. Without her no organized manifestation would have been possible.
