At the Feet of the Master

Note to the 1969 Edition

Though autobiographical writing is delicate, at the request of some friends, the author of this book has reminisced about the trials and tribulations of his early life and his impressions of Sri Aurobindo, the mighty sage. Says the great philosopher, Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, in his “Fragments of a Confession”: “No man’s story of his own life can fail to be of interest to others, if it is written in sincerity. Even if the stage be small and the role of the participant a minor one, the interactions of chance and circumstance with human desires and ideals that shape the destinies of any individual are of some interest to his fellows.” Viewed in this light, the book, I hope, will be of considerable value to aspirants of Truth in understanding the great Master, Sri Aurobindo.

I am thankful to Dr. М. V. Krishna Rao, a great scholar, critic, author and professor, for writing a Foreword to this book.
