About Me
Interested mainly in the Adventure of Consciousness, I believe in human progress and evolution and in the inner capacity of Man to outgrow and master all his imperfections and darkness, to grow into a creative, constructive and higher divine being, along with the society, conquering all inner and outer darkness, crossing all barriers and divisions. I am a retired Officer from the Orissa Administrative Service from Orissa, India. Since adolescence, I was inspired by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Mira Alfassa) and sought to understand and follow Their Teaching, making others understand and follow Them. In 1956, I read The Life Divine, and gradually, I read almost all that is written by Them and about Them. I have visited the Ashram and Auroville several times. I organized and managed some Sri Aurobindo centres, in different parts of Orissa, and often met Madhusudan Mishra, Prapatti and Ramkrishna Das in that connection. Mira Aditi Centre has published my Bengali translations of some books including Sri Aurobindo or the Adventure of Consciousness by Satprem, India's Rebirth and India the Mother, collections from the writings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother respectively.
