Meeting with Arabinda Basu
– February 28, 2008
You have not failed the Mother (in not
receiving the vision of the Gardens of the Matrimandir), the time is not yet
come.
Do not work too hard. Very important.
Follow your breathing – 5 minutes per
day.
Do not tell anyone about health issues, it
is only a possibility in 6 months to one year – do not think about it or
think about the past.
Do things in a small way. No splash. This is always what Mother and Sri Aurobindo wanted.
The Supramental is at work breaking up the
past. There will be much more
destruction. People will suffer
but what can you do. The Supermind
will not accept the ment

Two Remembrances of
Arabinda Basu - Shared with Narad
Nirodbaran and Arabinda Basu were close friends and Arabinda
would come to Nirod's room regularly. Nirod recounted the following
to him one day. Very gently Sri Aurobindo asked Nirodbaran
(paraphrased) "Please do not put anything on top of Savitri, it is my
body."
Arabinda ended with a remembrance from Dilip Kumar Roy.
Mother asked Nolini to go to Dilip and tell him that She wished to see
him. Nolini went and Dilip said he wouldn't go, tha

TEHMI— LETTERS FROM THE MOTHER—ON ART
(Mother India -
July 2006)
Tehmi's letter to the Mother:
Sweet Mother,
Could I offer You this little thing? (Is it called a stole or a shawl?) It
is very,
very old, but it is just a few days ago that Maman had someone bring it
from
Bombay. I know well that it is not worthy of You, Sweet Mother—nothing is—
but the moment I saw it I thought of You. So, I place it at Your feet with
all my
love. Will You use it. Sweet Mother?
TEHMI-BEN—NARAD REMEMBERS
(Mother India - March 2006)
(Continuation of "Tehmi-ben—Narad Remembers" from the issue of January
2006)
TEHMI'S childhood was idyllic, surrounded by the trappings of royalty,
infused with
beauty and wonder, a fairy tale to fulfil any youngster's most vivid
imagination and
people a world of dreams with pageantry and splendour.
Tehmi: "When we were young we lived in a palace. The Durbar hall was just
below
us and we used to peep and watch them (the guests) beautifull
TEHMI-BEN—NARAD REMEMBERS
(Mother India -
January 2006)
WITHOUT the All-encompassing vision we cannot say what it is that calls
one soul to
another when there is no obvious pull of the vital, mind, or body. So it
was with my
friendship with Tehmi-ben and the honour to be with her in her last years.
It seemed,
however, to be the continuation of a profound spiritual association
perhaps through
many previous lives. She had few close friendships but they ran deep and
were always
grounded in love and adoration of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo. She had,

THEMIS—THE POET
On Poetry
(Mother India - September 2006)
THE name, Themis, was chosen by Mother as the name She wished Tehmi to use
for
her poetry. Themis is the Greek goddess of justice and law. Tehmi's
poetry, including
many poems written before she came to the Ashram, was given high praise by
Sri
Aurobindo.
Here are Sri Aurobindo's words.
The poems are remarkable, especially the later ones. They have power of
revelatory image and phrase and o

TEHMI AS A STUDENT—SOME LETTERS
(Mother India -

TEHMI received high praise throughout her academic career. Here are some

studies.

ON EDUCATION
(Mother India -

Tehmi: "We had a Jesuit Father who was round, really round. He was our
French
teacher and liked us very much. There were about four of us whom he
especially
liked and had us read all the time. He ignored the other students in the
class. He
would always say to us, 'No rest for the wicked.' He also said in his
deep, gruff voice
to the boys who couldn't answer a question, 'Memory is the faculty that
forgets!'"

Tehmi: (On Savitri) The very first line. What a tremendous
opening. It says so
much. You have to read it differently. It is simple. Nothing dramatic. You
imagine it.
It is very powerful. It gives the sense of transition from the night to
the dawn. I can
hear it.

Her Visions and Experiences
THOUGH Tehmi would say that she had very few experiences she spoke to me
many
times of two that were so powerful they were inscribed in her
consciousness as on a
perpetual tablet of Divine Grace. She actually was blessed with many other
visions,
some of which she recounted to me during her last two years and others
that were
recently found in one of her o
