Sujata Nahar
Sujata Nahar (12 December 1925 – 4 May 2007) was born in
Calcutta, and spent her formative years near the poet
Rabindranath Tagore. At the age of seven, she lost her mother. Her father, searching for another meaning to life, turned to
Sri Aurobindo and
the Mother. In this way, Sujata also came to Sri Aurobindo in 1935, at age nine. She received private tutoring, and became secretary to
Pavitra, the Mother's disciple. She met
Satprem in 1954. Later, the Mother entrusted her with the typing up of her private conversations with Satprem, which later became ''
The Agenda. '' From 1965 to 1973 Sujata regularly accompanied Satprem to his meetings with Mother.
Later, Sujata wrote the popular and well-researched 8-volume biography of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo, ''Mother's Chronicles''. So far, six volumes have appeared in
English. The books are also being translated into
French,
German, and several Indian languages.
She died shortly after her companion, Satprem, at age 81.
