Sri Aurobindo

Letters of Sri Aurobindo

SABCL 26

Fragment ID: 7578

On commencing his silent Yoga at Pondicherry Sri Aurobindo presently outgrew the instructions that had been given to him by Lele and his predecessors.

That was done long before the sojourn in Pondicherry. There were no predecessors. Sri Aurobindo had some connection with a member of the governing body of the Naga Sannyasis who gave him a mantra of Kali (or rather a stotra) and conducted certain kriyās and a Vedic yajña, but all this was for political success in his mission and not for Yoga.
