Dr Alok Pandey was to Sri Aurobindo and the Mother through a set of inner experiences and outer circumstances working in synergy. The call and the contact with the teachings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother created a radical transformative shift in his life from that of a medical doctor in the Indian Air Force to that of a seeker of higher knowledge and the blossoming of devotion in the heart. He presently serves in the Sri Aurobindo Ashram and is known for his talks and writings on various aspects of life in the light of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother.
