Description of content for corresponding English title Twelve Years with Sri Aurobindo
Sri Aurobindo's personal attendant Nirodbaran was privileged to serve his spiritual master for twelve years. In this memoir Nirod-da tells us what this time was like, drawing an absorbing account of the life he observed within Sri Aurobindo’s room. We read about the Master’s daily routine, his relation with the Mother and those who attended him, and some striking features of his personality—his natural reserve, his profound calm, his unshakeable equanimity and his delightful sense of humour. The author has managed to bring out Sri Aurobindo's human side and at the same time his majesty and greatness.
Thanks to Nirod, we have a revelation of an altogether unknown side of what Sri Aurobindo was. —The Mother
