Umapada Sen played a pivotal role in the establishment of an Ashram Centre at Rairangpur in 1949

Aug 15, 2014 - On the occasion of Sri Aurobindo's birthday an unpublished letter of his has been uploaded in the online forum ... 

In 1946 he joined the newly-formed Mayurbhanj Spinning Mill as the legal adviser. He was associated with a number of projects related to social welfare especially women education and played a pivotal role in the establishment of an Ashram Centre at Rairangpur in 1949. He passed away at the age of seventy-two on 16 December 1963.

We are thankful to Mrs. Arpita Sengupta, youngest daughter of Umapada Sen, for allowing us to publish the letter of Sri Aurobindo which is seeing the light of day for the first time in the online forum of Overman Foundation. For the benefit of the reader Sri Aurobindo’s reply has been italicized.
With warm regards,
Anurag Banerjee
Founder, Overman Foundation.

Yesterday Benimadhav Mohanty took a nasty swipe at a friend of mine ... the denigration of Sri Aurobindo in his own Ashram by Peter Heehs.
