This book is a collection of vivid memories of two Ashramites: Motiba (Champaklal’s aunt) and Bansidhar (Champaklal’s brother). Both joined the Ashram in its early days, the mid-1920s, and had the privilege of personally serving Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. In addition to the fond recollections by those who knew them well, there are the reminiscences of Motiba and Bansidhar themselves, who shared some events of their early lives in the Ashram, and close to a dozen photographs depicting them over the years.
