Greetings from Luminaries of the Aurobindonian Community:
Dear Anurag:
Congratulations! Delighted with the Golden Book Award; it is a moment of joy when hard work is recognised enthusing us to go forward in our chosen field. And when it comes like this, a flash, the joy is greater for as we know your humility in your hard work which moves on as an offering to the Mother and Sri Aurobindo. May such award come often, not because you desire it, but because we know that you are doing the Mother’s work and that is very much needed for humanity today.
My renewed congratulations and best wishes to Shukla and yourself with prayers to the Mother to grant you both health, prosperity and unflagging service to move forward and not stop till the goal is reached, as Swami Vivekananda blessed us. Sri Nandakumar joins me in wishing you both all the best, health, wealth and prosperity.
Affly,
Prema Nandakumar

Great honour, very proud of your achievements. Keep up the good work you are doing. The award brings you to the higher circuit of contemporary writers.
Congratulations dear Anurag. Yet another feather in your cap. Proud of you. This is indeed remarkable to figure among such luminaries in the field of literature, at such a young age. My joy and pride at your achievement knows no bounds. Congratulations once again, dear.
Heartiest congratulations for your wonderful achievement of “Golden Book Award”. Wish you all the best for your service to the work of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother.
Compliments. Well deserved. Great that your years of dream and work got recognised.
From a certain point of view, the Mother was so keen to see that the world discovers Sri Aurobindo. That was the fundamental attitude of many disciples. “We have found a treasure and we want to share it with the receptive sections of humanity.”
This also speaks of your love for the Master.
Immense congratulations for the Golden Book Award. Very Happy.
Most heartfelt congratulations, Anurag-da, for this award. Hardly anyone deserves it more than you, because of the yeoman’s service when it comes to the life and work of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother.
