NOTESri Aurobindo started learning Bengali, his mothertongue, in England, as a probationer for the Indian CivilService. After his return to India he began a serious studyof the language with a view to acquiring proficiency inreading, writing and speaking. During his stay at Barodahe wrote some poetry in Bengali, attempting even a longpoem called “Usha-Haran Kabya”.It is to this poem that his brother, Manmohan, himselfa poet, refers in his letter to Rabindranath Tagore,dated October 24, 1894. We quote from it the followingextract: “Aurobinda is anxious to know what you think ofhis book of verses 1 , but I have explained to him how busyyou are just now; and that you will write later when youhave a little more leisure to do justice to his book. I myselfthink that he is possessed of considerable powers oflanguage and a real literary gift, — but is lacking in stuffand matter, perhaps in warmth of temperament. But thosepieces on Parnell 2 , consisting of fine philosophic reflection,show, I think, that he might do great things. Unfortunatelyhe has directed (or rather misdirected) all hisenergies to writing Bengali poetry. He is at present engagedon an epic (inspired I believe by Michael Madhusudan)on the subject of Usha and Aniruddha.”He wrote several articles for the earlier issues of Yugantar,a Bengali revolutionary weekly started by his brotherBarin and others under his guidance in March 1906. Butnot a single copy of this journal has so far been traced.1 Songs to Myrtilla published a year later, in 1895.2 Charles Stewart Parnell (1891) and Hic Jacet (Centenary Volume 5, pp.15, 11).
