Mother's hair and their nails when they were trimmed. He preserved them
carefully in small boxes with the date marked on them. Later, after 1950 when
Sri Aurobindo was no more in the physical body slowly the centres from all over
the country and even the world started requesting the Mother for these 'relics'.
The relics were installed at the Bangavani centre in Nabadwip, West ¦ Bengal, on
21st February 1959. There is an account of it by one of the devotees present.
They were nails and hair taken from Sri Aurobindo on August 25th, 1950. The
Mother herself sewed up the Relics into a brocad
The origin of the name is in itself interesting.
This property, so near to the Ashram, had very little building on it and what
was there was old and dilapidated, but Mother wanted it because of its
position.-The owner of the property, a very rich person, knew our need and so
demanded a very high price and wouldn't budge from his demand. Finally Mother
agreed to pay him his price but said that She would name the property after the
owner's nature and so She called it Harpagon. In French literature 'Harpagon' is
the name of the chief character in Molière's play L'Avare (The Miser).

Udar was very closely connected with Auroville in
the beginning. On the inauguration day he was the "Master of Ceremonies". There
was no one in the Ashram who could translate the 'Charter of Auroville' into the
Russian language so Mother sent him to Madras to the Russian Embassy to get this
done. Mother had also put him on the committee for Industries at Auroville.

Mother has often stressed the spiritual importance of not wasting anything as such acts only stop the flow
of things coming to us. When I first joined the Ashram there was
a wonderful organisation there to prevent waste. Bits of soap or

Regarding Sri Aurobindo's passing we know now that
He had decided to leave this physical world because, as Mother explained to us
later, it was the only way that the final conquest of Death could be made;
Mother said that Sri Aurobindo had told Her that one of them would have to cross
the barrier and work from the other side - so that death, the greatest obstacle
to the physical transformation, could be finally overcome. Mother offered to be
the one to cross over but Sri Aurobindo said to Her that She had the more
difficult task to perform and must continue to remain, while He would go across
and work from the other side. That is why His presence is cons

Mother's Message of 21st February 1958 - on the occasion of Her 80th Birthday:
To celebrate the birth of a transitory body can satisfy some faithful feelings.
They were moved by her towards great unknown things,
Faith drew them and the joy to feel themselves hers

In 1972 the Government of India decided that as part of Sri Aurobindo's Centenary Celebrations they would finance the
overseas visit of two persons, one eastwards and one to the West. The Mother chose me to be sent out west and I began to get
ready for the long tour to Europe, America and Canada, which would be for about 3 to 4 months. Then when I was ready to
leave I informed the Mother of it and She suddenly asked me how I felt about going out. I answered that I was happy to do so
because She had given me this task and it was always a joy for me to do such things as the Mother Herself had asked me to. But
She insisted that She saw some hesitation in me all the same.
