A Talk with Madhav Pandit On My Birthday – July 29, 1973   I met with Madhav and touched his feet and he pulled my head to his stomach and held me for a long time.  Then he took me to his kitchen and gave me a bar of candy.  I told him about my dream of all the people in Auroville being actors in a play and leaned back relaxed to see all the characters, even those not close to me, playing an essential role.  I asked Madhav if people in Auroville were more representative of forces to be worked out, possibilities and difficulties .  He confirmed this and said that as Auroville is a collective experiment there is no place now for individuality.  Each must fill his part.  Later individualit

Dr. Barry Comeaux   Description Plant Types and Structure   The most natural form of an oleander is globular, or upright and rounded, whether it be a dwarf or tall-growing plant.

Luther Burbank   Oleander Culture   To begin this rather lengthy chapter which attempts to detail all aspects of oleander culture, we would like to offer a thought from Kewpie Gaido about her beloved oleanders.

Paris Blessing We stepped on the cobbled stones Thy feet had pressed And under the shade of trees that watched Thee pass, Through lanes remembering all Thy hands had blessed And the tender recollection of the grass. Treasured moments spent in thoughts of Thee And memories more lasting than the years, A smile that lifted us in dignity To dwell in supramental atmospheres. Thus have we lived again an eternal day, A moment on earth where Thy feet had trod, Traced a line of the supernal Ray And walked upon the avenues of God. Recalling

Earth Renewed Estranged from memory's cell we seek the One Who ever in our fractured hearts we bear. Ever we stray and ever return anew To the ageless quest, hunting the heaven-bird Who sits secure, unknown, serene within. Escaping from reality awhile Vagrant we stray down tired roads of sin And alleys strewn with deeds of infamy.
