Great Sir and the Heaven Lady
by Maggi Lidchi-Grassi

This is the true story of how a young American soldier, John Kelly, was spiritually and practically guided through World War II by Sri Aurobindo whom he had never heard or seen.

John had visions during the War of two beings of Light whom he called 'Great Sir' and 'Heaven Lady', and whom he identified much later as Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. To the voices of these Guiding Lights "He listens and obeys and is many times saved from death." After the War John found a copy of Sri Aurobindo's The Life Divine in a library, and later worked at a Sri Aurobindo Centre in New York. He visitied Pondicherry in 1966 and met the Mother.

From the introduction, "In this age of despair and defect (this book) reveals the Light behind the darkness and the promise of what awaits us when we have, like John, passed through."
