K. D. Sethna

Kaikhosru Dhunjibhoy Sethna (26 November 1904 – 29 June 2011) was an Indian poet, scholar, writer, philosopher, and cultural critic.

Three years later, when several therapeutic efforts had failed, his father took him to London for a corrective operation after which Sethna was able to walk straight again, though with a slight limp.

[2] Sethna received his early education at the reputed St. Xavier's College, a Roman Catholic institution run by Jesuit priests.

After having married his long-term girlfriend Daulat, a fellow Parsi, they decided to go to Pondicherry for visiting Sri Aurobindo and the Mother (Mirra Alfassa).

Much of his free time he dedicated to developing his poetry, regularly sending his numerous creations to Sri Aurobindo for getting his opinion and corrections.

In 1936 Sri Aurobindo started sending him his handwritten texts of his literary main work Savitri: A Legend and a Symbol for typing.

As a result, there also followed a correspondence on Sri Aurobindo's spiritual poetry, discussing its peculiar characteristics, its style and planes of inspiration.

Its purpose was to discuss current topics, both National and International, from a viewpoint which was in line with Sri Aurobindo's thought, although it was not directly meant to be his mouthpiece.
