A FEW WORDS ABOUT DEVAYAN

The vision of Sri Aurobindo was to elevate the entire humanity to the supramental level and bring the Golden Age down to the earth. This was the aim of his yoga. When Sri Aurobindo suddenly passed away on 5 December 1950, most of the world was not conscious of his Divine goal. Only a few individuals who had followed Sri Aurobindo in his spiritual adventure were fortunate enough to be aware of this spiritual reality. Dr. Hajari, who had been one of the closest followers of Sri Aurobindo and lived very close to the sage at Pondicherry, was one of them. The passing away of Sri Aurobindo brought spiritual force to Dr. Hajari and enabled him to further elaborate the coming of the new age. He penned an account of the vision in Bengali continuously for three years and four months. This account when completed revealed itself as "Devayan". The epic Devayan was written from 14 March 1951 to 8 July 1954. We have the courage to attempt to put this mammoth work in Devanagri script to bring it to a wider audience. Dr. Hajari once said, many years before he passed away, that a time would come, in the near future, when Devayan will echo in the world. It is no secret that we are in the midst of a knowledge revolution that reveals the first signs of breakthrough. New discoveries and research force us to give a fresh look at the present accepted theory of medicine, biology, evolution and our relationship with the cosmos. We must be very grateful to the poet that his impressive skills and poetic vision lead us to original transformation insights that reveal a new hope and possibility. There is surely a spiritual renaissance in progress as envisaged by Sri Aurobindo,
