Medhananda has been trying to integrate, or rather appropriate, Sri Aurobindo, for quite some time. Now, Heehs has shown him his place. Medhananda, however, remains adamant, and we wish him good luck. Scholarship is certainly important, and disinterested academics need to come forward for examining myriad facets lurking behind such encounters.
It won't be out of place to remember our own Medhananda, an extraordinary scholar and researcher. By the way, Rod Hemsell is active at his Substack site. And, just discovered The Time Travelling Adventures of Chotu – The Dawn of Sri Aurobindo, Co-written by Dr. Alok Pandey and Kabir Nema. Also available at Amazon.
