not happy with your decoding of clue6. note will be letter and not letters. so prison letters doesn't add up. also, it's such an insignificant part of his life. none of the clues are trivial in this puzzle. every clue adds up to something significantly related to the man. but good show on the other clues. unfortunately knocktopus is a ruthless game where only the finished piece gets the reward.

special mention for me. i got the first clue that got people thinking along the lines of aurobindo!

bobfactory said...

well parasu had a novel idea for clue 6. alpha note or first note which is aum or om . cd that be it?

anantha said...

the puzzler will not react when what you've postulated is not even remotely correct.

bobfactory said...

Clue 6 : Prebeta Note = Alpha Sa ~ Alfassa (Mirra Alfassa, the Mother)

bobfactory said...

Groan! Man..what is this Grom! Cant seem to be able to transform it. All Grom is seems to be Thunder in Polish...whatz the connection?

The only Polish connection i can find is Max Theon who was Polish i think !

Uk said...
