An Experience of X as told to Narad I saw a golden gate surrounded by a golden light. A very big golden lock is holding the gate closed. I saw a hammer smash the lock and was puzzled at how the lock was smashed. Then someone called here (at Golconde) and said, "X, Mother has left Her body."

Either because I could notor would not I found myself sitting in a room with Frederick. He has a very concerned look on hisface and said: "It is too quiet." Just after he saidthis the first in a long line of men, tall and dressed in black, came intoview. They walked with sombresteps and were holding on their right side, shoulder high, small caskets withtheir children whom Hitler had butchered.As the last man passed there was a woman behind him. She was wearing a grey cloak thatreached almost to the floor and she had her head on his ba

Experience on Mount Shasta It was in the early 1960's when a friend invited me to come with her to the "I AM" annual gathering on Mount Shasta. I had been staying with her and her husband for some weeks, awaiting word from the Pandit who has promised me a music scholarship to Shantiniketan. We drove up to the site, a beautiful setting in a large clearing surround by the forest. As the programs began, seeing these ladies dancing in diaphanous gowns in an amazing assortment of pastels, I immediately knew that I was out of place and though I appreciated their devotion to Saint Germaine, this was

The Bull - Dream of Jan. 1, 2005 I went to bed very tired and all throughthe night the stomach was not good.I think it was some food that was prepared for me. There were many vivid dreams and I rememberclearly telling myself that with this particular dream I would have to do asMother said and pull gently on it to bring it back. Here is the dream. There is an area that seems to be a mangeror a partly open barn with a roofed area.There is a large egg, perhaps a bit larger than an ostrich egg coming upout of the ground. One can see thecracks in the earth around it, yet it is also surrounded by some clean straw asit is breaking through. The egg iswhite but i

The Ballad of Savitri PART I Savitri was the only child Of Madra's wise and mighty king; Stem warriors, when they saw her, smiled, As mountains smile to see the spring. Fair as a lotus when the moon Kisses its opening petals red, After sweet showers in sultry June! With happier heart, and lighter tread, Chance strangers, having met her, past, And often would they turn the head A lingering second look to cast, And bless the vision ere it fled. What was her own peculiar charm? The soft black eyes, the raven hair, The curving neck, the rounded arm, All these are common every

Some Reflections on Savitri 1: Guidance from the Mother on Savitri In February 1967 an exhibition of Huta's paintings of Savitri was held at the Ashram. After seeing it I wrote to the Mother: "The Savitri exhibition is full of images of Savitri, the ascent of the being, the descent of divinity and the divine play, from which radiates a light, as beautiful as powerful, similar to that which I see near You. Is this my imagination or is it true?" The Mother answered: "It is quite true and I am glad that you saw it." Later, in 1968 and 1969, on occasions, I referred some lines from Savitri to her and got her comments. Sri Aurobindo has wri

Apropos of Savitri Part One Introducing Savitri tat savitur varam rūpam jyotiḥ parasya dhìmahi ! yannah satyena dipayet ! Let us meditate on the most auspicious form of Savitṛ, the Light of the Supreme which shall illumine us with the Truth.1 This is Sri Aurobindo's Gayatri Mantra. The meditation is on the auspicious form of the Sun, the Sun of Divine Light. The Mantra affirms that the Light shall illumine us with the Truth. It shall illumine all the parts of our being, even the very physical. In it shall be our true progress. The threefold reality of Sat-Chit-Ananda shall express itself in this creation. Even the physical shall

-009_The Ascent of Sight in Sri Aurobindo^s Savitri.htm The Ascent of Sight in Sri Aurobindo's Savitri Sight in the Superconscient Introduction We should recognise the insufficiency of normal mind of man to be an instrument for the discovery of the Truth: Our mind lives far off from the authentic Light Catching at little fragments of the Truth.1 But if mind fails, what else remains? Again, it has been affirmed that "thought nor word can seize eternal Truth."2 But, then, if thought proves impotent what else is there that can take its place? The answer is: What else? It must be a sight: Out of our thoughts we must leap up to sight.3 Yes, it has

Real Symbols of Inner Reality A look at Sri Aurobindo A well-known British writer and critic has stated recently: "I don't see Sri Aurobindo as a poet at all..." and added,".. .if you press the claim that Sri Aurobindo was a great poet...you will only be detracting from his undoubted importance as a thinker and perhaps a saint. You will never persuade any Western poet or critic."1 And this view is confirmed by other literati, among them William Irwin Thomson, who suggests that Yogis should on principle be debarred from expressing themselves in verse, since they do it so badly, and cites Sri Aurobindo as an example. That Sri Aurobindo's poetry ru
