The Chariot of Jagannatha

Note

This book contains translations of five original Bengali compositions of Sri Aurobindo that were first published in journals at different times. Four of these texts, along with another, a piece called Durga-Stotra, were subsequently collected and published as a booklet entitled Jagannather Rath, "The Chariot of Jagannatha". We have excluded the Stotra from this book and included in its place a translation of a piece originally published under the title Kshamar Adarsha O Sadhusanger Phal.

"The Chariot of Jagannatha" was first published under the title Samaj-Katha (On Society) in Prabartak in 1918. Arya Adarsha O Gunatraya (The Aryan Ideal and the Three Gunas) and Swapna (A Dream) in Suprabhat in 1909-10. Hirobumi Ito and Kshamar Adarsha (The Ideal of Forgiveness) first appeared in Dharma in 1909-10
