Raymond : Antonin Raymond, a Czech architect who had worked in Japan & U.S.A., & had collaborated with the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. He came to the Sri Aurobindo's Ashram with his family in 1937 to work on the project of building Golconde, a residential building for Ashramites. He designed it with his assistant François Sammer (q.v.) while George Nakashima, master builder, constructed it.

I am not a Biblical scholar and I rely for my knowledge of Biblical criticism on well-known scholars and in this case I find Raymond Brown generally convincing. But I am not prepared to go in for a detailed criticism of him. You should contact a Biblical scholar... Christian religion ever since St. Paul spoke of a "new creation". Mention of St. Paul brings me to the topic of the Virgin Birth. The idea of the Virgin Birth or, more accurately as Father Raymond Brown insists, the idea of the Virginal Conception is one of the finest and profoundest in Christianity, signifying that the Avatar is essentially born of the Divine Super-Nature, the Ever-pure One... by my frank criticism. I am not talking out of any animus against Christianity or at random: I have made a prolonged study of the question and have a whole unpublished book on it apropos of Father Raymond Brown's open-minded treatment of the subject. Out of fear of being misunderstood I have refrained from serialising the book in Mother India. I would not like to pain any of the simple good-natured ...
