	(A. B. Purani, ''[[The Life of Sri Aurobindo]]'':) “On 14 April 1906 the famous Barisal conference was held. Sri Aurobindo attended. The conference was declared illegal by the government and the participants were ordered to disperse. Krishna Kumar Mitra, Sri Aurobindo's uncle, refused to leave the pandal. There was a procession to protest against the government's action. In the first row were Sri Aurobindo, [[Bepin Chandra Pal]], B.C. Chatterji. Behind them were delegates to the conference in rows of four. The procession was charged by the police. They allowed the leaders to pass and stopped the delegates from proceeding further. The delegates stood on the highway and refused to disperse. They were lathi-charged. Many ran away. Chittaranjan, son of Monoranjan Guha, was wounded in the head.<br>		(A. B.

	It was criminal to shout “Vande Mataram” in the street in those days; so the young men were instructed to shout in the streets in defiance of the order. If they happened to see a policeman they first went over to the verandahs of the houses and shouted “Vande Mataram” from there – the verandah is not the road!”<ref>A. B.

			(Peter Heehs:) “At the end of July [[Bipin Pal]] decided to launch a new English daily, to be called, provocatively, ''[[Bande Mataram]]''. After seeing the first issue through the press on 6 August, he dashed off on a speaking tour of East Bengal. Before leaving he extracted a promise from Aurobindo to contribute an article every day.<br>
			Since his return to Calcutta in June, Aurobindo had had little time for political, much less revolutionary work. His chief preoccupation was the [[Bengal National College]], which opened its doors on 15 August with him as its first principal. During the last part of the year Aurobindo gave much of his time to administrative work and teaching. But the College proved to be a disappointment. Most members of the National Council of Education were reluctant to do anything to offend the government.”<ref>Peter Heehs, ''The Bomb in Bengal: The Rise of Revolutionary Terrorism in India 1900-1910'' p.92, “Tribulations and Trials”</ref>

			(Mr. Ratcliffe, editor of the ''Statesman'' of Calcutta:) “We know Aurobindo Ghose only as a revolutionary nationalist and editor of a flaming newspaper which struck a ringing new note in Indian daily journalism.<br>
			It was in 1906, shortly after Curzon's retirement, that Sri Aurobindo and his friends started ''[[Bande Mataram]]'' (Hail to the Mother). It had a full-size sheet, was clearly printed on green paper, and was full of leading and special articles written in English with brilliance and pungency not hitherto attained in the Indian press. It was the most effective voice of what we then called nationalist extremism.”<ref>Ibid., p.90</ref>


			(A. B. Purani, ''The Life of Sri Aurobindo'':) “Sri Aurobindo met [[Tagore]] once during this year at Tagore's Jorasanko Street residence, where he went in answer to the poet's invitation for dinner. A Japanese artist, Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose and some other prominent people were present. Tagore visited the ''Sanjivani'' office now and then where he occasionally met Sri Aurobindo.”<ref>Ibid., p.92</ref>


	(Rakhal Das Bose:) “It was in 1906 during my college life (when I was 20) that I attended some of the political meetings of Sri Aurobindo after the eventful Partition of Bengal. This Partition – a veritable act of God in disguise – had stirred the life and mind of Bengal, nay almost of the whole of India, after centuries of inertia and apathy. During those days there were no loudspeakers but voices of veterans like Surendranath Banerji and Bepin Chandra Pal reached the farthest ends of crowded meetings, sometimes over a lakh of people, amidst din and noise of the huge mass of humanity that had gathered. But when young Aurobindo Babu (Sri Aurobindo was known at that time as Aurobindo Babu or Aurobindo Ghosh) stood up there was a pin-drop silence. He spoke but little but his lisping words carried a mantric force reaching to the core of the heart of the assembly. This was my personal experience in the few meetings that I could attend.”<ref>''[[Breath of Grace]]'', p.56, “How I came to the Ashram” by Rakhal Das Bose</ref>		(Rakhal Das Bose:) “It was in 1906 during my college life (when I was 20) that I attended some of the political meetings of Sri Aurobindo after the eventful Partition of Bengal.
