"The careful student of Sri Aurobindo [and of The Mother] is ALWAYS aware of the period to which the work he is reading belongs" (from the introductory note to the 'Glossary of Terms in Sri Aurobindo's Writings') The "Arya" (of which you may want to read a list of contents Link on external website) was published monthly between August 15, 1914 and January 15, 1921. Sri Aurobindo wrote there his major works for the first time (they have been revised afterwards):
Aim of the "Arya" : "To feel out for the thought of the future, to help in shaping its foundations and to link it to the best and most vital thought of the past."(Sri Aurobindo in "Our Ideal" in 'Arya' 15 August 1915)
Conditions of writing: "As for calm and silence, there is no need of the supramental to get that. One can get it even on the level of Higher Mind which is the next above the human intelligence.[...] A calm or silence that is what I have had - the proof is that out of an absolute silence of the mind I edited the 'Bande Mataram' for 4 months and wrote 6 volumes of the 'Arya'. Not to speak of all the letters and messages." (Sri Aurobindo letter from August 23, 1935 in 'On Himself' page 162)
