... Aurobindo looked at him. Suddenly Nirodbaran burst into laughter and the rest joined in. Finding an opening or an inspiration, Purani began. PURANI: There is something interesting about snoring in the Sunday Times today. Someone says that snoring is the reaction of the subconscient against some pressure one does not like. SRI AUROBINDO: Nonsense! Does it mean that a man snores because he is protesting... No, he snores even long before. SRI AUROBINDO: That is perhaps in anticipation of Purani's arrival. (Laughter) As the talk on snoring didn't proceed further, Purani began quoting from the Sunday Times about Middleton Murry, where it was said that he had come to believe in Gandhi's non-violence and that because of Hitler he had become a believer in God. SRI AUROBINDO: How is that? PURANI: ...
... about Reynaud's mistress was in the Indian Express. SATYENDRA (smiling): Yes. I read it there but I thought it might have been in the Sunday Times, too, when Purani said that. SRI AUROBINDO (laughing): Purani's subconscious thought that the Sunday Times was more respectable than the Indian Express. (Laughter) EVENING PURANI: Gandhi's freedom of speech hasn't been granted by the ...
... × On 17 June 1945 the Sunday Times of Madras reproduced a letter written by K. Ghose to the editor of the Hindusthan Standard that had been published in that newspaper on 6 June. This reply by Sri Aurobindo was published in the Sunday Times on 24 June with an introductory note stating that the information was provided by his ...
... Saradamani Devi was repeated by a certain K. Ghosh in a letter published in the Hindusthan Standard of 6 June 1945. In response, Sri Aurobindo dictated another letter, which was published in the Sunday Times of Madras on 24 June. Around the same time, Sri Aurobindo's disciple Sureshchandra Chakravarty, who was with him on his trip from Calcutta to Chandernagore, published an article dealing with... versions, one long and the other short. [1] This version, which was found to be too long for broadcast in the allotted timeslot, was printed as a leaflet and reproduced in newspapers such as the Sunday Times of Madras. [2] This short version was broadcast by AIR and subsequently printed as a leaflet. Two years later it was reproduced in Messages of Sri Aurobindo & the Mother (1949). Since ...
... resistance in the North and withdraw to the South, as a result of which the majority of the French Army was crushed in Belgium. SRI AUROBINDO: Where was that story? PURANI : The Sunday Times . NIRODBARAN: The Sunday Times? We didn't see it. SRI AUROBINDO: No! I would like to see it. PURANI: I will get the paper tomorrow. ...
... his sheer imagination." The Times 2 hailed this novel as "a delight" and the Manchester Guardian 3 as "masterly". But Durrell is far indeed from writing a plain hand. Richard Mayne, 4 in the Sunday Times , declares: "His prose beguiles us with marvels of virtuosity." And even Pamela Hansford Johnson, 5 who finds the book wanting in a centre, criticises it by saying that one reads it for just ...
... after.) My dear Dilip, At last I must sit down and write a reply to your letter. And first let me thank you for the prasadi petals from your Gurudev and for the interesting copy of the Sunday Times. Now what is the "faith and experience" business ? I can't remember any remarks on the subject today. In fact the only thing I ever remember saying on the subject of faith was contained in ...
... his news. He says that such intense preparations are going on that the universe is moving towards destruction. (Laughter) SATYENDRA: The universe? Nehru also speaks in terms of planets. The Sunday Times has given the news that somebody in America has discovered some submarines which can be made into tanks. There is a humorous story along with this news. SRI AUROBINDO: That may be Germany's ...
... and organising the Bahai group in Europe. In one of their group meditations Mother had some experience which none of the others had. DR. MANILAL: What is Bahaism, Sir? I find it mentioned in the Sunday Times too. SRI AUROBINDO: I think Abdul Baha was the son or grandson of Baha-ullah who established the Bahai sect. It is a modernised and liberalised form of Mohammedanism. They believe there is ...
... urgently felt, or the heart beat furiously for the Divine response. When the call or cry went forth, there was the unmistakable instantaneous answer and presence as well. Again, in the Sunday Times of 17 December 1950, there appeared the report of a conversation between a visitor (Kumar) and a senior sadhak (T.V. Kapali Sastry). When the former asked, "With the passing of Sri Aurobindo ...
... Aurobindo 29th January, 1939 Sri Aurobindo was in a communicative mood. Looking at X he said. "Have you read Hitler's interview with Col. Beck in the 'Sunday Times'? Disciple : No. What about it? Sri Aurobindo : It was shouting at each other. It is said that when Hitler begins to shout his eyes become glassy and it means disaster. But ...
... admittance into the garden as a friend of one of the boys and conveyed information to the police. The police waited till the Muzzaferpore outrage, and then closed in." (C.C. Dutt, in an article in the Sunday Times, 17 December 1950) Page 306 "Well, we'll see." The next thing I know was a handclapping on my shoulders. "Come," and a voice... ...we were all arrested in a body ...
... Eyeless in Gaza also. SATYENDRA: Is that mystical too? NIRODBARAN: That was the first. Meher Baba has declared Mysore to be the spiritual capital of the world. SATYENDRA: Yes, in the Sunday Times . SRI AUROBINDO: Where? SATYENDRA: Yes, Sir, it is there. You haven't seen it? SRI AUROBINDO: No. NIRODBARAN: It is in that article on birth-control. SRI AUROBINDO: I didn't see ...

SATYENDRA: Shouting at each other? SRI AUROBINDO: Yes. It is said that when Hitler begins to shout and his eyes become glassy, it means some disaster. But ...
... sounds and names by repeated utterances. But to pick out an unknown man only by his name is remarkable. Can't explain it. (While being sponged) I read about another medical discovery in the Sunday Times . Some doctor says that an attack of asthma can be instantly relieved by inhaling from a pot of honey. The relief lasts for half an hour. PURANI: It is very good. SATYENDRA: But one will ...
... personal question. You may be either or both. Or your help may be a hindrance and your hindrance a help. (Laughter) You have to be transformed in order to realise that. In the last issue of the Sunday Times there are some stories related by Europeans about incidents of their previous births. They have given corroborative proofs by which the stories have been verified. ( Sri Aurobindo cited an example ...
... Sri Aurobindo : Then why does he not spurt out with it? Disciple : There is nothing particular to-day. Sri Aurobindo : There is a cure for your cold in the "Sunday times" : you have to get into an aeroplane, take some rounds, get down and you are cured. Disciple : Permanently? Sri Aurobindo : Yes, if the plane comes down with a crash, the ...

... Aurobindo met C.C. Dutt first at the Baroda Railway platform by chance, and told him while parting: "Now that we are both in Gujarat, we are sure to see each other often." (C.C.

... speaking. NIRODBARAN: Purani seems to have some news. SRI AUROBINDO: Then why doesn't he blurt it out? PURANI: No, nothing today. SRI AUROBINDO: Well, there is a cure for your cold in Sunday Times. You have to get into an aeroplane, take some rounds, get down—and you are cured. SATYENDRA: Permanently? SRI AUROBINDO: Yes, if the aeroplane comes down with a crash! NIRODBARAN: V used... They have hardly a little more than a year in hand. Within such a short period they have to rope in the Princes and come to terms with the Congress. PURANI: Bhulabhai Desai went to England many times ostensibly for his health but really, it would seem, to discuss this Federation problem. He hopes to remain behind the scenes. SRI AUROBINDO: That was my policy too. I sympathise with him. But the ...
... return. It appears, it is only a resurrected S that is walking about the Asram since yesterday afternoon! I say—Dr. Hutchinson, President of the Royal Society of Medicine, in London, says (vide Sunday Times, page 4) that if all the doctors struck work for a year, it would make no difference in the death-rate. The doctors' only use is to give comfort, confidence and consolation. Now what do you say... club on the head..."? He will die, Sir, but if he doesn't, a doctor will be needed! Clout, clout. A clout is a harmless thing—at most you will have to put a bandage. I read the script in Sunday Times, by Dr. Hutchinson. It is not only hot, but a little top-heavy it seems. If the doctors function is only to give consolation, I fear many patients visiting us will leave, cursing us. Take B's case... you call "surrealist", many expressions creep in, having hardly any meaning. Sometimes a poem becomes a "great success", at other times it is a misfire. When one develops a new kind of poetry or a new technique, one must not mind having to find one's way. ... At times I have to make a foolish face before people when I can't understand my own expression, and they'll think I'm writing rubbish.. ...
... S. into the secret organisation. Dutt said, "I am yours ""reservedly and unconditionally." Sri Aurobindo didn't give any oath, and Dutt adds: "I felt deeply grateful to him for this trust."

Amar: "Will you not say something yourself... gracious smile: "I assure you, Charu, I shall look after the boys here. But you must go back to your job.... Well, there are reasons why my best recruiting sergeant must be in Ahmedabad just now." (Sunday Times, 17 December 1950) Page 290 Sri Aurobindo said later, "and made a dozen speeches in the course of three or four days - but I did not manage that in any way; it happened." 12... " On the other hand, Jatin too was driven to organise political dacoities to sustain the revolution and also to provide adequate legal defence to the accused revolutionaries. Those were, indeed, times out of joint, defying prim ethical categorisations, and making it difficult to draw a sharp line of distinction between the mad and the maddened, the criminal and the avenger, the creators of disorder ...
... without "rational" cause." Page 129 V. On the doctors' only role! Sri Aurobindo: I say - Dr. Hutchinson, President of the Royal Society of Medicine, - in London - says (vide "Sunday Times", p. 4) that if all the doctors struck work for a year, it would make no difference in the death rate. The doctors' only use is to give comfort, confidence and consolation. Now what do you say to... in the nose knocked him senseless in turn." 4 Let the 'senseless' dentist depart from the scene and let us now make some harmless fun of the ponderously pedantic diagnostic pronouncements at times made by the doctors. But whom should we call on the scene for our purpose? — For a change, let a psychiatrist now appear on the stage. And here is the 'true' (!) story concerning his diagnosis. ... we have culled all the variegated instances of Sri Aurobindo's witty remarks and sparkling humour touching matters medical that we quote below. For the enhanced enjoyment by the readers we have at times categorized them under different sections. So far for the introduction. Now the actual delectable feast: I.

A former colleague at the National College, Pramathanath Mukhopadhyaya (later Swami Pratyagatmananda) has also recorded his memories of those times: When he started his work in the heaving politics of Bengal, it was the blazing, fiery aspect of Rudra that stood out in front. But those who associated with him in the National College saw his ...
