Ambulal Purani

Ambulal Balkrishna Purani (26 May 1894 – 11 December 1965) was an Indian writer. He was a prominent disciple and biographer of Sri Aurobindo. Purani was born on 26 May 1894 in Surat (now in Gujarat, India). A nationalist activist as a young man, in 1923 he joined Sri Aurobindo Ashram on being convinced by Sri Aurobindo that he need not worry about the freedom of India as it was sure to come in time. He was a personal attendant to Sri Aurobindo from 1938 to 1950.
