The reader is advised to consult the Contents of the Centenary Library on pages 16-19 of this volume if he is not familiar with the material contained in the volumes listed above.
*
In the Introductory Note to this volume we have mentioned several factors which must be taken into consideration when making a relative evaluation of Sri Aurobindo's writings. The user of this index is urged to read that note and also to study the Bibliography on pages 19-44 of this volume and the Bibliographical Notes at the end of eachof the volumes in order to acquaint himself with the period and the nature of the material with which he is dealing. He should also take note of the context of the passage to which he refers, especially while consulting such books as The Life Divine, where Sri Aurobindo often presents at some length a position which is not his own.
Page – 65 In the index the volume number is printed in bold type, the page numbers in roman type. Thus the first reference (17: 27) is to page 27 of Volume 17, The Hour of God. References are made to the subject treated per se. Thus while the whole of Volume 13, Essays on the Gita, deals with the Gita, only the pages of the book where the Gita has been discussed as a distinct entity have been listed under the main heading Gita; so also "Yoga" in The Synthesis of Yoga, "India" in The Foundations of Indian Culture, "Spiritual evolution" in The Life Divine, etc.
The index is structured according to the usual system: main heading, subheading and sub-subheading. Note that: (1) Certain large or complex terms have, for convenience, been represented by two or more main headings distinguished from one another by superior figures (e.g. Ascent¹ and Ascent²). (2) References without subheadings fall into two main categories: (a) large general discussions of the subject, and (b) very brief but significant references. (3) Subheadings are given only as a first indication and should not be considered as exhaustive statements of how the subject is treated on a given page. (4) Certain subjects have been placed under broad generic main headings, e.g. "sun" under Symbol, specific symbols; "sonnet" under Poetry; "Hindu-Mahomedan question" under Indian National Movement; etc. (5) Literary works are placed under the author after other subheadings, if any.
Cross-references are given in bold type at the end of many entries. Here see al so indicates an identity or close relationship between the terms in question, cf. (compare) a more indefinite relationship, and the asterisk (*) that at the designated main heading only are listed a number of related terms.
