To the Disciples of Mother and Sri Aurobindo in Russia


Homage to the Motherland


O Russia, Motherland, the gods look down

And smile upon your centuries of toil

That paved the way for the great awakening

To the Force that lay asleep within your soil


And in yourselves, mystic daughters and sons

Who in the Hour of God have heard the call.

O sacred land of suffering and pain

Now the oppressor gone you shall install


Within your vast and offered heart the fire,

The icon of the Lord whose voice is heard

In soul and soul waking to the Light

That breaks from Supermind, transforming Word


Of truth come down by the dual sacrifice:

May the Master and the Mother guide your way.

O People I embrace you in Their name,

O blessed land accept my namaste.
