-10_From Divine Mother to Richard (Narad).htm "From Divine Mother to Richard" - Narad I would like to begin with a few lines from Savitri. Always we bear in us a magic key Concealed in life's hermetic envelope. A burning Witness in the sanctuary Regards through Time and the blind walls of Form; A timeless Light is in his hidden eyes; He sees the secret things no words can speak And knows the goal of the unconscious world And the heart of the mystery of the journeying years. (Savitri, Pg.49) Alive in a dead rotating universe We whirl not here upon a casual globe Abandoned to a task beyond our force; Even through the tangled anarchy called Fate

Pandit With sheer love She has come into this world of hate and falsehood to front the Enemy in his own fief. Unknown to man for whose delivery She has come, She developed Her physical embodiment into a live mould for the Earth's aspiration and when She stepped on the scene, it was Sri Aurobindo, the Seer sempiternal, who proclaimed Her advent to the sons of God and laid at Her feet the domains of the three worlds awaiting transformation, placed in Her hands all the treasures of the Spirit He ha

Extracts from an interview with An u Purani by Anie Nunnally :from the book 'The Golden Path' Early days in the Ashram Well, I was just an infant and there was actually not much of an Ashram community at that time and no school. I remember one story that my father told about me when I was still in the crawling stage. My father's quarters were just across from Sri Aurobindo's rooms. The talks with sadhaks would take place in the evenings. The sadhaks meditated also with Sri Aurobindo and perhaps I heard them speaking about meditation. Sometimes, as Sri

-35_Sri Aurobindo's Savitri lines - Mother's messages.htm Sri Aurobindo's Savitri lines - Mother's messages From Savitri: It saw, it felt, it knew the deity. Her will was puissant on their nature's acts, Her heart's inexhaustible sweetness lured their hearts, A being they loved whose bounds exceeded theirs; Her measure they could not reach but bore her touch, Answering with the flower's answer to the sun They gave themselves to her and asked no more. One greater than themselves, too wide for their ken, Their minds could not understand nor wholly know, Their lives replied to hers, moved at her words: They felt a godhead and obeyed a call, Answered to her lea

-20_Imagine somebody greater than the universe (Prof. Kireet Joshi).htm Imagine somebody greater than the universe Transcript of an interview with Prof. Kireet Joshi Interviewer: Kireet Bhai, this interview is really to ask you to speak about the Mother. First because you were there at that time and we were not there and we feel like asking you what was it like to be there at that special time in that special place and to be there in this atmosphere that surrounded the Mother. Prof. Kireet Joshi: I used to go to the Mother every Sunday from the 18th May 1969 up to 30th of March 1973. The question that you are asking is as to how I used to feel. It is a very difficult question because it is inexpr

-15_Today is a day of great Grace for you (Varadharajan).htm "Today is a day of great Grace for you" - Varadharajan I have been staying in and working for Auroville from 1969 onwards and participated in some of the Aspiration talks with the Mother. Coming nearer and nearer to Her, I like to recapitulate my Pranam to the Mother in March, 1973. I had asked for the time, had gone to the terrace near the Mother's Room and was waiting to go to Her. Three or four persons were there along with me. Champaklalji told us that Mother will not be able to see us that day. Somehow he went into the Mother's Room, came back and said that She may allow us, but he was not sure. It may take some time to know the an

-26_Pavitra's first meetings with Sri Aurobindo.htm Pavitra's first meetings with Sri Aurobindo Extracts from the book 'Conversations with Sri Aurobindo' ... Then one morning I arrived in Pondicherry by train. I put up at the Hotel d'Europe and immediately went to the Ashram. I asked if I could meet Sri Aurobindo. At that time, Sri Aurobindo was still seeing people, He still saw His disciples. He agreed to see me. I explained my position to Him, what I was looking for, why I had left Europe, why I had come to India and what I hoped to find here. It was I who spoke the first day. He asked me to come again the next day. In the evening I met the Mother. About the Mother I remember I remember esp

Many of the things are very interesting ways of the Mother's work. Trying to recollect something when I was 8 or 9 years old is a very difficult thing but certain things have remained crystal clear even today. I vaguely remember it was probably the year 1972. My birthday falls on 1st August and I have got a brother whose birthday falls on 7th August. I have a sister whose birthday also falls on 7th August. We are 10 brothers and sisters - big family. So in August, 3 out of 10 of us had our birthdays. I used to sa

-03_The Meeting (Dr. Beena R. Nayak).htm The Meeting - Dr. Beena R. Nayak From Kashi with gangajal, the sangha, to complete the yatra started for Rameshwaram, guarding the sacred water for abhisheka. In a burning, fiery track southwards, the sangha panted in the hot dusty plains where even the earth heaved sighs in vapors. I and the sangha, with scorched faces chanting harinaam labored on with the fierce will, unfazed, to fulfil the yatra. Suddenly, across the road, we found a donkey, dying of thirst, panting, his eyes rolled upwards, as if begging for water. The lead, chanting harinaam, diverted the sangha making sure, not to stop for this minor obstacle, even a moment. But for one of us, a
