Subject: Availability of Anie Nunnally's book - "The Golden Path"
"The Golden Path"
Lives Transformed by Sri Aurobindo and The Mother
Dear Friends,
We are pleased to announce that Anie Nunnally's book THE GOLDEN PATH,
has just arrived from the Ashram press in Pondicherry and is now
available for sale at the East West Cultural Center. This little gem of
a book is certain to be viewed as a treasure by all involved in the
yoga of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother.
The book consists of 264 pages with 48 photos. It contains interviews
with disciples from the Sri Aurobindo Ashram and Auroville, many of
whom had darshan of both Mother and Sri Aurobindo or were closely
connected to the Mother.
Anie, herself, spent almost 4 years in the ashram and Auroville between
1968 and 1972 and developed close friendships with her subjects. In
these interviews Anie has sought to capture the golden thread of the
yoga - the growing psychic flame of the inner lives of those who lived
in the proximity of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother and how they have been
transformed by that experience.
The book also includes a foreword by Debashish Banerji, a commentary by
the Author, poetry written by some of the interview subjects, passages
from Savitri and quotations from Mother and Sri Aurobindo.

Commentary on the book by Georges Van Verkhem:
Sri Aurobindo left his body in 1950
and the Mother in 1973. The number of people who had direct contact
with them becomes ever smaller and the reports of such contacts soon
become a thing of the past. Every person is different, which made every
contact different, possibly revealing an unknown aspect of Sri
Aurobindo and the Mother.
This makes Anie Nunnally's effort to
gather the testimonies which can still be gathered all the more
precious. She is closely acquainted with the Sri Aurobindo Ashram and
with many of its members personally. For her doors were opened which
otherwise would have remained closed, as most sadhaks are,
understandably, reluctant to talk about their most intimate
experiences. Moreover, as Anie Nunnally has herself walked on the path
of the Integral Yoga for many years now, she knows how to appreciate
its difï¬culties and its realizations. One wishes that the effort she
has made, in order to gather these reminiscences, would be followed by
others where the occasion still presents itself. From my personal
experience as a biographer of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, I know how
valuable this kind of work is.
