Beloo Mehra writes in the Editorial for the current issue:
Sri Aurobindo once wrote that “while music and art reveal perhaps more absolutely the soul of a nation, literature is the whole expression of its mind and psychology,—not only of what it is in action, or what it is in essence, but its thought, character and aspiration” (CWSA, 12: 398).
Keeping this definition of literature in mind, every bit of Sri Aurobindo’s voluminous writings — from the most profound spiritual poetry to rigorously and precisely organised essays in prose, from the fiery political commentaries to most sublime sonnets, from deeply revealing letters on every aspect of sadhana and yoga to the enchanting full-of-humour letters to some of the disciples — becomes a sublime work of literature that delights, inspires, and elevates as it expresses the highest thought, character and essential aspiration of Bharat which Sri Aurobindo not only embodied but also gave to it a new orientation, a new ideal.
