Lala Lajpatrai Deported THE sympathetic administration of Mr. Morley has for the present attained its records; - but for the present only. Lala Lajpatrai has been deported out of British India. The fact is its own comment. The telegram goes on to say that indignation meetings have been forbidden for four days. Indignation meetings? The hour for speeches and fine writing is past. The bureaucracy has thrown down the gauntlet. We take it up. Men of the Punjab! Race of the lion! Show these men who would stamp you into the dust that for one Lajpat they have taken away, a hundred Lajpats will arise in his place. Let them hear a hundred times louder your war-cry-Jai Hin

CHAPTER XIX Life ARGUMENT MIND as a final action of Supermind is a creative and not only a perceptive power; in fact, material force itself being only a Will in things working darkly as the expression of subconscious Mind, Mind is the immediate creator of the material universe. But the real creator is Supermind; for wherever there is Mind conscious or subconscious, there must be Supermind regulating from behind the veil its activities and educing from them their truth of inevitable result. Not a mental Intelligence, but Supermind is the creator of the Universe. - Mind manifests itself in the form of Force to which we give the name of Life, and Life

Yoga and its Part in the Divine Plan YOGA is the unravelling of the knot of life's difficulties. Suddhi, Mukti, Siddhi and Bhukti are the four constituent elements of Yoga. Mind, Heart, Life and Body are to do the work of the Divine. The unfolding of the Spirit, its light and its power and its joy and oneness in man upon the earth, is an essential part of the divine plan and the obvious purport of the terrestrial and human creation. Life becomes flower and sap of the Godhead from the bulb of terrestrial nature in the stock of humanity. To grow into Godhead, to live in the Divine, acting through the universalised and divinised individual is the acm

-24_National Education (Speech).htm National Education * THE meaning of national education is now well understood in Bengal, but the case seems to be quite otherwise in this part of the country. Even the Honourable Mr. Gokhale showed his ignorance of the matter by tampering at Surat with the wording of the resolution on national education passed at the Calcutta Congress. Some of these people appear to think that there can be no "national" education for India, where, according to them, the existence of various conflicting creeds and races makes the growth of a feeling of nationality an impossibility. This view is utterly wrong. The very geographical position of the country, isolating it from othe

The New Situation THE circular letter addressed to the leaders of public opinion in East Bengal by Babu Ananda Chandra Roy of Dacca, on the new situation created by the dismissal of Sir B. Fuller, which 'has been noticed already in the last two issues of this paper, does not seem to have at all grasped the real significance of this situation, which therefore cannot be properly met by the policy which is suggested in that letter. The Partition of Bengal is a settled fact; and we agree with Babu Ananda Chandra Roy that we cannot refuse to accept it as such, though we do not see how, consistently with this view, he can say that our protest against it must still be kept up, or

SUPPLEMENT TO VOLUME 1 BANDE MATARAM Some more articles from the Bande Mataram are reproduced here as recent information allows us to consider them Sri Aurobindo's. It is evident from an article1 of Suresh Chandra Deb, a worker in the Bande Mataram office, that Sri Aurobindo wrote every day for the Daily from the 8th or 9th August 1906 till the last week of September when Bepin Chandra Pal, the Editor, returned from his tour of East Bengal. Ail the issues of this period are not available, but from the few we have in our possession we have selected some of the Editorials and Notes which seem to us to be from Sri Aurobindo's pen. A few others i

Not to the Andamans! IT IS evidently with a sigh of relief that the Indian Mirror learns the news that Lala Lajpatrai is to be sent not to the Andamans but to Mandalay. It says: - "Soon after his arrest, it was reported widely that Lala Lajpatrai was going to be taken to the Andamans. But instead of being sent to that penal settlement, he has been conveyed as a State prisoner to Mandalay, in Upper Burma where there is a large fort. Mandalay is certainly a far better place than the Andamans." To those like us outside the esoteric circle, - and they by no means form a microscopic minority, - the distinction between the two places, on the present occasion, seems immateria

SUPPLEMENT TO VOLUME 10 THESECRETOFTHEVEDA 1. This draft of "The Origins of Aryan Speech" seems to be an earlier one. It was found in this incomplete form in Sri Aurobindo's manuscripts. 2. "A System of Vedic Psychology" is an incomplete study written probably in the early days at Pondicherry, 1910-14. The Origins of Aryan Speech IN THAT pregnant period of European knowledge when physical Science, turned suddenly towards its full strength was preparing to open for itself the new views, new paths and new instruments of discovery which have led to the astonishing results of the nineteenth century, an opportunity was offere

Lala Lajpatrai We publish elsewhere the last letter we received from Lala Lajpatrai previous to his sudden deportation. Great has been the good fortune of the Punjab leader in being selected as the first and noblest victim on the altar of Motherland. But for our part, we may be pardoned if we indulge a feeling of regret and grief at the sudden parting from a friend. We have not been acquainted with Lajpatrai for very long but even these brief months of acquaintance and increasing friendship have been enough to feel the charm of his personality. There was always in Lajpatrai a singular union of tenderness with strength, of quietness with fervour, a ready sympathy in kindly f

Letters to M. 3 July, 1912 Dear M. Your money (by letter and wire) and clothes reached safely. The French Post Office here has got into the habit (not yet explained) of not delivering your letters till Friday; that was the reason why we wired to you thinking you had, not sent the money that week. I do not know whether this means anything, - formerly we used to get your letters on Tuesday, afterwards it came to Wednesday, then Thursday and finally Friday. It may be a natural evolution of French Republicanism. Or it may be some- thing else. I see no signs of the seals having been tampered with, but that is not an absolutely sure indication of security. The postman may be paid
