Nirodbaran

He was told about Sri Aurobindo and The Mother by Dilip Kumar Roy while in Paris.

He then spent 2 or 3 years practising medicine in Burma, but this work failed to satisfy him.

As Sri Aurobindo had already withdrawn from the public life of the ashram, he communicated with and instructed the sadhaks via letters, and Nirodbaran entered into a voluminous correspondence with Sri Aurobindo (receiving about 4000 letters), who encouraged and guided his attempts at poetry.

In November 1938 Sri Aurobindo broke his leg and as a physician Nirodbaran was one of the disciples with medical knowledge who attend him while he recuperated.

Nirodbaran died peacefully on the evening of 17 July 2006 at the Ashram Nursing Home in Pondicherry.
