With Medhananda on the Shores of Infinity

by Medhananda

Medhananda was the name given by the Mother to a German disciple who lived at the Ashram from 1952 until his passing in 1994.

This book contains a collection of reminiscences, meditations, letters, poems and transcriptions of interviews, chronologically arranged in order to recount the story of his life from his birth in Germany in 1908, his stay in Polynesia and up to his years in the Sri Aurobindo Ashram.

The book can best be described as the autobiography of an inner life because the external events play only a subordinate role, and are used here only to situate or illustrate a subjective experience.
