Sanjiban's Correspondence with The Mother

Notes on the Texts

Series Three—Sanjiban. Sanjiban Biswas joined the Ashram in 1933 at the age of twenty. His correspondence with the Mother began in that year and continued for the next eight years. Many of their exchanges deal with the Mother’s guidance to Sanijban as an aspiring artist.

Most of the material presented here was first published in issues of the quarterly journal Bulletin of Sri Aurobindo International Centre of Education between August 1996 and February 1998. The present complete correspondence, which contains additional entries, has been prepared from Sanjiban’s manuscripts. The correspondence is in English.
