Sri Aurobindo to Dilip

Sri Aurobindo to Dilip, (1934-1935), is the second of four volumes of correspondence between Sri Aurobindo and Dilip Kumar Roy, singer, musician, poet and writer. In 1928, Dilip, whom Sri Aurobindo called "a friend and a son", became the latter's disciple. A massive correspondence ensued - countless letters from Sri Aurobindo and a few more from Mother, extending till 1951, and published unabridged here for the first time. The first volume was published in August 2003.

What shines through these letters is Sri Aurobindo's immense patience guiding Dilip Kumar Roy through his turbulence, his despondency, and nurturing with such tender care his latent talents and the infinite love Sri Aurobindo and Mother poured on the over-sensitive but exceptional Being for his full blossoming. Here reason's logic is countered with sounder logic. A gentle irony like a cool breeze blows away mind's cobwebs. No insistence to tow his line. No judgment, always clarity of vision. Comprehension. Compassion. Rarely a sigh escapes the Guru's lips, "It is only divine Love which can bear the burden I have to bear". Hari Krishna Mandir Trust, Pune "; Mira Aditi, Mysore, 2005
