Mitra, P. : Pramathanath Mitra (1853-1910), a well-known barrister who practised at the Calcutta High Court & made his mark in the field of criminal law. He was one of the prominent leaders of the new nationalist movement in Bengal. When Sri Aurobindo tried to unite the scattered activities of the various revolutionary groups in Bengal under a single organization, it was P. Mitra whom he envisaged as the leader of the organization. Pramathanath was a disciple of Yogi Bejoy Goswami, & was also greatly influenced by Swami Vivekananda.

... to the "Mitra-Varuṇa" of the Rigveda and of the Mitanni document, nor even a god Varuṇa. So we cannot reconstruct a similar Indo-Irānian or what Thieme terms Proto-Aryan form. The Avesta has "Mithra-Ahura". As the Rigveda also has "Asura" as counterpart of the Avestan "Ahura" and uses it at times together with "Mitra" (and "Varuṇa"), the Proto-Aryan combination would logically be "Mitra-Asura". The... Obviously, we have in this formula the Rigvedic deities Mitra, Varuṇa, Indra and the Nāsatyas, an alternative name for the heavenly twins, the Aświnas. Particularly with the extant variant a-ru-na for u-ru-wa-na the Rigvedism hits the eye at once. We may also note that the determinative "god" in the plural (ilani) precedes each of the two names Mitra and Varuṇa. The purpose of this plural determinative... expression can be shown once as occurring even in the same order: Mitrā-Varuṇa, Indra-Agni, Aśvinā (= Nāsatya) (X. 125, 1bc): "I (Speech) carry ('support, nourish' or 'bear [in my womb]'?) both Mitra and Varuṇa, I [carry] Indra-Agni, I [carry] both the two Aśvinas." The combination of Agni with Indra is, of course, due to the wish to create a grammatical parallelism among the three as dual. ...

It was winter and Sri Aurobindo came wrapped... some friends were thinking of sending me to France. I was thinking what to do next. There I heard the Adesh [command] to go to Pondicherry."² At the end of March Motilal Roy sent word to Sukumar Mitra at Calcutta about Sri Aurobindo's intended departure for Pondicherry. Towards the end of the same month Moni (Suresh Chakravarty) received a note from Chandernagore telling him to go to Pondicherry... addressed to Srinivasachari was given to him. He walked to the Howrah station and took his seat in the second class. He was dressed as an Anglo-Indian.
