About me

I am a retired Administrative Officer from the State Administrative Service from Orissa, a State in India. Since my adolescence, I was inspired by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Mira Alfassa) and tried to read, understand and follow what they have taught and make others understand and follow them, as far as possible. After retirement, I have translated into Bengali various books published by Mira Aditi Centre, an international publisher of books, mainly written and edited by Satprem, a Frenchman, who was a disciple and the confidante of the Mother, when he was in Sri Aurobindo Ashram (till Her passing away in 1973). Books translated by me include
Sri Aurobindo or the Adventure of Consciousness, written by Satprem, India's Rebirth, a collection from the writings of Sri Aurobindo, and India the Mother, a collection from the writings of the Mother, Neanderthal Looks On (Satprem), The Great Sense (Satprem), The Veda and the Human Destiny
(Satprem).
I believe in human progress and evolution. My main interest is the Adventure of Consciousness.
I believe that Man has the innate capacity to outgrow and master all his imperfections and darkness, and he should develop this and grow into a creative, constructive and divinised higher being. The Society should also grow accordingly and conquer all darkness within and without, surpassing all racial religious linguistic political and other artificial barriers.
I have also a lot of interest in painting and poetry. I have pasted copies of a few paintings here.

I believe in human progress and evolution, and my greatest interest is in Adventure of Consciousness. Personally, I am interested in reading and writing, poetry and painting and other artistic pursuits, sports and physical education, and in philosophy and spiritual seeking, in outer and inner adventures.

I believe that man has the innate capacity to outgrow and master all his imperfections and darkness, and he should develop this and grow into a creative, constructive and divinised higher being. The Society should also grow accordingly and conquer all darkness within and without, surpassing all racial, religious, linguistic, political and other artificial barriers.

Let us find what Sri Aurobindo says :

To eternal light and knowledge meant to rise,

Up from man's bare beginning is our climb ;

Out of earth's heavy smallness we must break,

We must search our nature with spiritual fire :

An insect crawl precludes our glorious flight;

Our human state cradles the future god,

Our mortal frailty an immortal force.

OOOO

Sri Aurobindo has also told that man has to and will transcend himself and progressively and march forward towards the advent of a 'mightier race' — the race of the supermen, and then of the supramental beings.

This Hope, this Dream inspired within us by Sri Aurobindo, has been the very Inspiration of my life.

Sri Aurobindo has said:

A mightier race shall inhabit the mortal man's world.

On Nature's luminous tops, on the Spirit's ground,

The superman shall reign king of life,

Make earth almost the mate and peer of heaven

And lead toward God and truth man's ignorant earth

And lift towards godhead his mortality.

OOOO
