Is there any subject of life, that Sri Aurobindo has not touched! He is the universe. Your posts continuously energize, and bring me back to the very core of sadhana. All your efforts are highly appreciated.

Each edition being an Ocean, makes ‘this’ mind wonder in which condition can there be its truly complete reading and assimilation! These words simply chose to come out, evoked and invoked by the Immensity of the journal, echoing the felt truth.
