... which would be to that object in its ordinary poise or "law" unhabitual and therefore apparently impossible. I do not see how cosmic rays can explain the origination of matter; it is like Sir Oliver Lodge's explanation of life on earth that it comes from another planet; it only pushes the problem one step farther back—for how do the cosmic rays come into existence? But it is a fact that Agni is ...

... what you want by using the same evidence. They can't understand that the laws governing the planes behind the physical plane may be quite different from those that obtain here. For instance, Oliver Lodge is a great scientist and he asserts that the voice which came to him was that of Raymond, his son, who had died in the war. He says that it is proved beyond doubt because it spoke in the way... good description of him. Disciple : It seems that the Independents and the Swarajists may join in the obstruction against Government. Sri Aurobindo : Yes. There seems to be a chance. Oliver's salt-tax speech has something to do with it. 11-3-1924 Disciple : Did you read Mad Ali's statement about the Khilafat ? Sri Aurobindo : Yes, I saw it, but I did not go through... proposed seems absurd. One can follow up this kind of proposal by saying, "All the members must produce a certificate that they have cooked their own food, cleaned their own latrine " etc. Disciple .

Has it not classified the Divine also? How does Sir James Jeans or any other scientist know that it was by a "mere accident" that life came into existence or that there is no life anywhere else in the universe or that life elsewhere must either be exactly ...

... introduced the essay, biography, autobiography and the novel into Telugu literature. His Satyavathi Charitam was the first social novel in Telugu.

Another day, another rebellion. On 15 August 1995, 43 LTTE cadres lodged in Tipu Mahal escaped after digging a 153-foot tunnel through the moat. Shamefaced, the TN police have since barred access to the mahal.

... had time to read your 'worthier pen' detection, but I still favour Emilia Lanier. No need to 'prove' she was dark, if she was Italian, that is dark by English standards - dark hair and that 'brown' olive skin. Just as to say 'Indian' would by English standards (especially in the 16th century) be to say 'dark' even though your marriage-advertisements ask for 'fair' brides, meaning Aryan light-brown rather... here. Besides, Rowse believes that Emilia's affair with Shakespeare was over before she entered Forman's parlour in 1597: how then can she be connected with Mrs. Mountjoy with whom Shakespeare had lodged some time between 1602 and 1604? Finally there is the argument which Rowse considers very impressive. Emilia was a bit of a poet and once wrote, as though echoing Shakespeare's famous "All the world's... Indologists a dance. I believe I have managed to get all your hieroglyphs correct except one word which too I would have deciphered if I had still had with me the copy of Blake's complete works which Sir Geoffrey Keynes had presented to me after reading the first draft of my book. Unfortunately, the paper on which Blake was printed contained some acidic material and the whole book turned dark brown and ...

... serious research has sprung up since the middle of the nineteenth century. This has been given the name of "Psychical Research"; and in its earlier phase even reputed orthodox scientists like Sir Oliver Lodge, Dr. Wallace and Dr. Crookes got associated with it, giving to this new research much credence and respectability. Many bulky volumes embodying the findings of these "psychical" researchers ...
