Dear Friends,
We are happy to announce Overman Foundation’s latest publications, At the Feet of the Mother: Reminiscences by Her Children, Volume One (ISBN: 978-81-996505-9-6), Who is Sri Aurobindo? (ISBN: 978-81-979623-0-1) by Nirodbaran and The Mystery of Sri Aurobindo’s ‘Departure’ vis-a-vis The Ideal of Physical Transformation (ISBN: 978-81-979623-6-3) by Jugal Kishore Mukherjee.
Given the pivotal roles of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother in the matter of supramentalization of earth-life leading to the divinization of man’s mental, vital and physical existence, the sudden and totally unexpected ‘Departure’ of Sri Aurobindo on 5 December 1950 left most of his disciples absolutely shell-shocked. Even after 75 years since the momentous event, many of his disciples have not been able to shake off from their mind the sense of utter puzzlement at this Master-Yogi’s physical passing.
In the book, The Mystery of Sri Aurobindo’s ‘Departure’ vis-à-vis The Ideal of Physical Transformation (price: Rs. 220), Jugal Kishore Mukherjee, who was one of the finest exponents of Aurobindonian philosophy and a writer of rare insight, has tried to solve the mystery of Sri Aurobindo’s ‘departure’ analyzing the actual words of Sri Aurobindo as well as those of the Mother pronounced on different occasions.
Priced at Rs. 500, Who is Sri Aurobindo? consists of Nirodbaran’s (Sri Aurobindo’s scribe and attendant) writings and talks on Sri Aurobindo and the Mother published between 1951 and 2003 along with an unpublished article entitled Why is Sri Aurobindo Ignored? These writings and talks not only contain new information about Sri Aurobindo and bring to light lesser known aspects of Sri Aurobindo but also reveal the unique relationship he had with Nirodbaran.
Compiled and edited by Anurag Banerjee and priced at Rs. 500, the first volume of At the Feet of the Mother is an anthology of priceless reminiscences of three of the early members of Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry (Udar Pinto, Mrityunjoy Mukherjee and Lalita), in which they have recounted their memorable contacts with the Mother and the pivotal roles played by Her to develop their personalities and spiritual destinies. The most fascinating feature of these reminiscences is that they reveal the human aspect of a Divine Personality. Through these reminiscences, the reader would surely realize ‘The splendid yoke of her beauty and her love’ (Savitri, Book IV, Canto II, p. 365).
All the three books were released by Shri Manoj Dasgupta, Managing Trustee of Sri Aurobindo Ashram Trust, Pondicherry, on 6 March 2026.
