This talk is based on the dreams of Sri Aurobindo as mentioned by Him in the Independence Day message, which was broadcast by All India Radio on August 14, 1947.
The Puranas are accepted as an authority on the Hindu dharma because they explain the knowledge contained in the Veda and the Upanishads to the average man, comment upon it, discuss it at great length
The talk is based on Sri Aurobindo's manuscript 'The Bourgeois and the Samurai', which was written in 1907-08 but ceased by the police and never finalized for print.
