LIFE BEFORE PONDICHERRY
This section, relating to the earlier part of Sri Aurobindo's life prior to his arrival at Pondicherry in 1910, is com¬piled from notes given by him during 1943-46 while reading the manuscripts of his three biographers submitted to him for correction or verification and approval. The notes were intended either to elucidate their statements by supplying the relevant facts or to correct and modify them wherever necessary.
In most cases brief references to the points in the original uncorrected manuscripts or to incomplete or erro¬neous statements in them are given in italics preceding Sri Aurobindo's comments on them. In some cases only small headings are given.
Some marginal notes written by Sri Aurobindo on another biography of his by a Maharashtrian author are also included here. Also notes and letters dictated by him to correct misleading or fabricated statements concerning him published in some journals and in a book are placed in this section.
A few letters written to disciples in answer to their inquiries concerning some facts of his early life are placed along with the notes on the same points.
