The Mystery of Sri Aurobindo’s ‘Departure’ vis-à-vis The Ideal of Physical Transformation -  Jugal Kishore Mukherjee

Given the pivotal roles of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother in the matter of supramentalization of earth-life leading to the divinization of man’s mental, vital and physical existence, the sudden and totally unexpected ‘Departure’ of Sri Aurobindo on 5 December 1950 left most of his disciples absolutely shell-shocked. Even after 75 years since the momentous event, many of his disciples have not been able to shake off from their mind the sense of utter puzzlement at this Master-Yogi’s physical passing.

In the book, “The Mystery of Sri Aurobindo’s ‘Departure’ vis-à-vis The Ideal of Physical Transformation” , Jugal Kishore Mukherjee, who was one of the finest exponents of Aurobindonian philosophy and a writer of rare insight, has tried to solve the mystery of Sri Aurobindo’s ‘departure’ analyzing the actual words of Sri Aurobindo as well as those of the Mother pronounced on different occasions.
