I am also Westerner, but I feel an underlying disrespect from the author, who, by the way, lived off the Ashram for almost 40 years. But the book is not the worst legacy of Peter Heehs, it's the wholesale editing of Sri Aurobindo's Work even making changes to the original documents. Heehs was embraced by some at the Ashram in the true Namaste spirit and this book of sublte innuendos is his thanks.
