UNPUBLISHED LETTERS WRITTEN BY SRI ANIRVAN TO SRI SOURINDRA MOHAN AIKAT.
THESE VALUABLE LETTERS ARE AVAILABLE TO US THROUGH THE GENEROSITY OF HIS GRANDDAUGHTER SMT SHARMILA SEN, WHO HAS PRESERVED THEM AS LOVINGLY AS HER GRANDFATHER DID.
SRI SOURINDRA MOHAN AIKAT WAS THE ESTEEMED FRIEND OF SRI ANIRVAN FOR OVER FIFTY YEARS. SRI AIKAT RECEIVED HIS FIRST LETTER FROM SRI ANIRVAN IN 1948, AND UNTIL SRI AIKAT PASSED AWAY IN 1976 THEY CONTINUED WRITING REGULARLY EVERY WEEK TO EACH OTHER.
SRI AIKAT WOULD LOOK UP ALL THE REFERENCES IN THE UPANISHADS AND OTHER VEDIC SCRIPTURES RECOMMENDED BY SRI ANIRVAN, AND ASK HIM QUESTIONS REGARDING THE MATTERS WHICH HE FELT NEEDED EXPLANATION.
NEARLY EVERY WEEK HE VISITED SRI ANIRVAN, OFTEN TAKING ALONG HIS LITTLE GRANDDAUGHTER WHO CHARMED SRI ANIRVAN BY HER INTELLIGENCE AND UNDERSTANDING AT SUCH A TENDER AGE. HIS LITTLE GRANDDAUGHTER IS NOW SMT SHARMILA SEN, WHO HAS SO GENEROUSLY OUT OF HER LARGE HEART GIVEN THESE TREASURED LETTERS TO BE POSTED ON THIS SITE ANIRVAN AKASH.
OUR OVERFLOWING GRATITUDE TO SMT SHARMILA SEN FOR HER MAGNANIMITY, HER WILLING AND CHEERFUL COOPERATION AND CONTINUAL KINDNESS.
