Sayaji Rao Gaekwar, the Maharaja of Baroda with the members of his family and some of the officers of the State. Sri Aurobindo is reported to be standing third from the right.

NOTE

As the present publication of Sri Aurobindo's Collected Works progressed, a considerable amount of new material came to light. Wherever it was possible some of this material was included in the volumes assigned to the concerned subject. However, even after this a good deal remained and to accommodate it some of the volumes had to be re-arranged. Volume 27 was renamed 'Supplement' and reserved for new-found material.

This supplementary material has now been arranged subjectwise and mentioned as 'Supplement' to the concerned volumes to facilitate references.

It may be noted that all these writings are reproduced as they were found, and have not been edited except for obvious misprints. Where the manuscripts could not be deciphered, blank spaces are left or tentative readings given in square brackets with a question mark.

In some of the early letters to "M" Sri Aurobindo signed himself "Kali" or "K". He followed this practice in general for the first few years in Pondicherry.
