Less than a month after his acquittal from the charges brought against him in the Alipore Bomb Trial (May 1908–May 1909), Sri Aurobindo delivered this speech in Uttarpara, West Bengal. It was the first public pronouncement of the spiritual experiences he had while in the Alipore jail. A text of the speech was published two days later in a Calcutta newspaper; Sri Aurobindo revised this text and published it in his own weekly journal the Karmayogin.
