Mirra Alfassa in Pondicherry France
In the center of the community, both geographically and physically, is a massive spherical gold-plated structure called the Matmandir, or Temple
She wasn’t the first Jew who sought to remake the world into a place where ethnic and nationalist categories were obsolete. And Auroville, which Mirra imagined as a futuristic city of 50,000 that would transform the world, has obviously fallen short of that goal. Living there, with its strange combination of anarchism and cultish orthodoxy, would probably be a nightmare. Still, its very existence in this obscure, murderously hot place has a touch of the miraculous about it. Michelle Goldberg is the author of Kingdom Coming: The Rise of Christian Nationalism and The Means of Reproduction: Sex, Power, and the Future of the World.

Sri Aurobindo’s Marriage—a discussion by Raman Reddy pertaining to a few aspects in context of the latest biography published by the Columbia University Press. Comment posted by: RY Deshpande
I’d written an article presenting some of these ideas related with Savitri, though in a somewhat different manner, and given for publication in the Ashram’s monthly Mother India. I’ve not heard anything about it in spite of a lapse of a few years, and one or two soft queries. It will therefore a vain and frustrating hope if the present article by Raman Reddy will at all be published by this monthly.

It prompts me to make a suggestion, following Kepler’s line of argument about “engaging contemporary intellectual culture”. How about rewriting the opening chapter of The Life Divine
as an example of such an engagement, when we know that it was written almost a hundred years ago? Let’s see to what extent it will make an appeal to the contemporary intellect.

The only rational and sensible solution seems to be this: If Sri Aurobindo has written something himself, just restore it… If something can be done to restore the original 1951 and 1954 editions (the ones the Mother read from when she did her work with Huta) that would be just enough. Isn't that what the Mother wanted? How can the ashram contemplate otherwise? Research on savitri
can continue, all versions made available at the archives. Research doesn't have to mean revising the poem. It is hard to digest that someone as gifted as Amal Kiran could have agreed to adopt such naive methods...
