Introduction Posted on March 6, 2012
In this blog, I am planning to list all the
errors I have found in the book “Lives of Sri Aurobindo” by Peter Heehs.
Most readers do not know what the primary sources contain so they assume the
text is alright. Contact My

Secret of the Veda – page 266
In many places in the book, Peter Heehs, having mentioned something positive,
proceeds to concoct a negative side. Some of these negatives are phony because
they have been inferred by craftily using Sri Aurobindo’s words against him. By
that I mean he takes Sri Aurobindo’s quotes out-of-context to potentially
mislead uninformed readers. There is a certain procedure which has to be
followed in order to uncover such deceptions. When you find a negative remark,
you should look up the citation and read the original source. Then you must
search for alternative sources, at which point you will realize that the
negative remark is not really negative at all. Continue

Is this getting tiresome or what. I’m on Heehs’
side in all of this, as I said before.
Once again a book has been banned. This time
the author is American historian Peter Heehs for his book 'The lives Of Sri Aurobindo'. http://ibnlive.com/livetv
After the court cases were found to be without
merit, and just when one thought a measure of sanity had prevailed in the
controversy regards the publication of the Lives of Sri Aurobindo and its author Peter Heehs a new front for
battle has ... CNN
Face the Nation: debate on Peter Heehs with Ashis Nandy and others Excellent Debate on CNN TV Tonight April 5th on
Peter Heehs with Ashis Nandy. The poll conducted during the show asking viewers
if Historians are unfairly under attack in India
Those who had any doubts about Sraddhalu
Ranade’s anti-Westerner sentiments in his hateful and vindictive pursuit of
Peter Heehs’ expulsion from the Sri Aurobindo Ashram (SAA) as well as from India
For, it is now evident that Sraddhalu Ranade
who uses Human Unity and Global Oneness as a mere commodity that helps him earn
airline miles and pockets-full of funds, cares little about the values he
preaches during his lecture tours.
In fact, Sraddhalu Ranade believes that
“Western” Aurovillains have no sense of justice or ethics as he accuses them of
blind favoritism…. Recent Comments

| #10 - Quote Problem
is if you “google” superman, you get a thousand craps. Google instead
“overman”: you get smiling Georges and his books…. The same with another
neologism coined by good old Georges in the same article: (his) “Aurobindian”
vs (widely used) “Aurobindonian”.
Google “Aurobindonian”, you get Ashram,
Auroville, Madhav Pandit, Satprem, Nolini, Tusar N. Mohapatra (God forbid!),
etc. Google instead “Aurobindian”: you get smiling Georges and his
books…. The game is called “googling”. Coin a neologism, and you get first
in line on Google. Business is business: “It’s the economy, stupid!”

the Working Committee Copy to Shraddhavan and Savitri Bhavan WITH GRATITUDE
Thanks for your statement regarding Sraddhalu’s
classes at Savitri Bhavan. I have tried to dialogue in every possible way with
those people, writing countless articles and comments in Deshpande’s blog
Mirror of Tomorrow and Mohapatra’s Savitri Era Open Forum. Writing four ad hoc
refutations of their accusations regarding the Heehs biography, to be debated
with them.

- Quote To be fair, Colombia University Press
should give some royalty to “poor Jayant”: for each of his dharnas, this publisher
sells at least a 100 more copies of “The Lives”. One cannot dream of a better
and more energetic advertising campaign. By now, Peter Heehs is as famous as
Salman Rushdie. Amazon too should contribute….

The imperialism of ideology, of the "West"
as the elect inventors of Metaphysics, has now invented and infected "the
East," who return with the revenge of the colonized - the new elect who
practice the new xenophobia, immured in their borrowed totalitarian cosmology
and teleology, the integral theory of a brief history of Everything in the
overt or hidden name of Sri Aurobindo.
