His Life and Attempts to Write about It
Political Career, 1906 – 1910

Some Political Associates [2]

I knew Satish Mukherji when he was organising the Bengal National College (1905 – 7), but afterwards I had no contact with him any longer. Even at that time we were not intimate and I knew nothing about his spiritual life or attainments — except that he was a disciple of Bijoy Goswami — as were also other political coworkers and leaders, like Bipin Pal and Manoranjan Guha. I knew Satish Mukherji only as a very able and active organiser in the field of education — a mission prophetically assigned to him, I was told, by his guru,— nothing more.
