Thanks. These are the kind of interpretive insights one can't find in the Lives of Aurobindo . It seems only people like Jeffrey Kripal can derive any fruitful insights from this biography. See his book Esalen Page 64 (and 477?) where cites Heehs as a reference regarding some discussion linking Ananda and sexuality. http://books.google.com/books?id=fzSP6BRFBzIC&printsec=frontcover&dq=kripal+heehs&ei=oV3mSeKeN4WoNou-_KsB#PPA64,M1 Apparently, they know and help each other according to Page 477 http://books.google.com/books?id=fzSP6BRFBzIC&printsec=frontcover&dq=kripal+heehs&ei=oV3mSeKeN4WoNou-_KsB#PPA477,M1
