Govt refuses to extend visa of American historian Peter Heehs
India Today
The reason could be the latest book written by
Heehs, The Lives of Sri Aurobindo. Heehs has been facing flak from a group
of Aurobindo's devotees for what he has written in his book about the
spiritual icon. Heehs resides at the renowned Aurobindo ...
However, counsel for Aurobindo Ashram P. Jegan said,
"Peter Hees joined the ashram in 1971 by accepting the philosophies of
Mother and Sri Aurobindo. After joining the ashram he did a lot of mischief
by stealing all the intellectual properties and copyrights of the archives
and he wrote a book, The Lives of Sri ... The book only has presumptions and
assumptions of the writer and it has no truth in it. So the devotees of
Aurobindo Ashram are trying to agitate in response."

One
of the great things about Bollywood -
and i speak here as a Freudian - is that it takes people's fantasies and
actually represents these in a movie. You have somebody taking a long, lonely
walk, feeling he wants to be romantically involved with whomever - and suddenly
that happens! It was a great awakening that fantasies don't have to be
presented only in a covert, subtle,
dreamy way - Bollywood's been an inventive instrument of bringing people's
fantasies out, giving them a live place in public cinema. Cardinal Slur
