[Planned action and Divine Action] From a Q&A Session at Sri Aurobindo Society, Sirsa, with Dr Alok Pandey in Hindi.

A Q&A with Dipankar Biswas by Dr Alok Pandey

[Surrender] from a Q&A session at Sri Aurobindo Society, Sirsa, with Dr. Alok Pandey.

On December 9, 2025, the day of Sri Aurobindo's Mahasamadhi, Dr. Alok Pandey started a new series on The Bhagavat Purana.

Sri Aurobindo on The Bhagavat Purana: "The Vishnu Purana for instance in spite of one or two desert spaces is a remarkable literary creation of a very considerable quality maintaining much of the direct force and height of the old epic style. There is in it a varied movement, much vigorous and some sublime epic writing, an occasional lyrical element of a lucid sweetness and beauty, a number of narratives of the finest verve and skilful simplicity of poetic workmanship. The Bhagavat coming at the end and departing to a great extent from the more popular style and manner, for it is strongly affected by the learned and more ornately literary form of speech, is a still more remarkable production full of subtlety, rich and deep thought and beauty. It is here that we get the culmination of the movement which had the most important effects on the future, the evolution of the emotional and ecstatic religions of Bhakti. The tendency that underlay this development was contained in the earlier forms of the religious mind of India and was slowly gaining ground, but it had hitherto been overshadowed and kept from its perfect formation by the dominant tendency towards the austerities of knowledge and action and the seeking of the spiritual ecstasy only on the highest planes of being. [Sri Aurobindo: Foundations of Indian Culture]

The Mother on the rishis of the Bhagavat: "......the writer or writers of the Bhagavat were certainly in contact with a whole inner world that is well and truly real and existent, where they saw and experienced everything they have described or revealed. Whether Krishna existed or not in a human form, living on earth, is only of very secondary importance (except perhaps from an exclusively historical point of view), for Krishna is a real, living and active being; and his influence has been one of the great factors in the progress and transformation of the earth." [The Mother: CWM 10]
