The first video from a new series “Reflections on Sri Aurobindo’s Poetry”. Today we read two sonnets of Sri Aurobindo. Sri Aurobindo wrote them in Baroda in 1901-1902 in a notebook, which was seized by the British police when Sri Aurobindo was arrested in 1908. This made it impossible for him to revise or publish these poems later, and they were not given titles. Their text is given below.
All is God in ‘The Meditations of Mandavya'

This talk is centred around Sri Aurobindo’s sonnet, written in October, 1939 (CWSA 2: 618). The text of the sonnet is given below.
