About The Chariot of Jagannatha

The five essays in this book are English translations of Bengali compositions written by Sri Aurobindo between 1909 and 1918. In the title essay he looks at the nature of human society through the metaphor of a vehicle, naming the ideal society the Chariot of Jagannatha, with its four wheels of unity, freedom, knowledge, and power. The longest essay describes the true Aryan character and the sattwic temperament as he observed them in his fellow undertrial prisoners in the Alipore Bomb case.
