The Mother had a unique bond of love and affection with Dilip Kumar Roy

from overman foundation overmanfoundation@gmail.com to overmanfoundation@yahoo.com bcc tusarnmohapatra@gmail.com date 12 February 2011 16:51 subject From Overman Foundation: The Mother’s Correspondence with Dilip Kumar Roy

Dear Friends, 

Not many people are aware of the fact that the Mother had a unique bond of love and affection with Dilip Kumar Roy (1897-1980), one of Sri Aurobindo’s most favourite disciples. Sri Aurobindo is reported to have written the maximum number of letters to Dilip Kumar Roy. Even after Sri Aurobindo’s accident in November 1938 which resulted in the cessation of all correspondence between Him and His other disciples, the epistolary exchanges between Sri Aurobindo and Dilip Kumar went on till the end of 1950. 

But not many people know that the Mother too had written numerous letters to Dilip Kumar. We take the opportunity of publishing a dozen of such letters written to Dilip Kumar Roy by the Mother.

Magic in images of daily life

From Paulette paulette@auroville.org.in Date 10 February 2011 03:36 subject THE MYSTIC SOUL OF NATURE: photographic exhibition

Nature is a world of wonder both in its grand cosmic design as in infinitesimal details. In this photographic exhibition I have tried to capture the magic found in images of daily life: misty mornings, foggy and rainy days, sunsets and sunrises and passing clouds, the intricacies of barks and branches, minute images of grass, aerial seeds and tiny wild flowers and dew drops...  A secret energy is at work, a numinous power that generates the evolution of countless forms, each of them a miracle of creation.

We have lost touch with the inner shaman, who is one with the divinity of Nature. We have to recover the untamed child within and look at beings and forms as the Divine in manifestation, inhabiting each and all, immanent, and transcendent.

“No one I am, I who am all that is”: truth of being and becoming.

Dear Friends, 

The late Pournaprema, the Mother’s youngest grand-daughter, whom we lovingly addressed as ‘Pourna-di’, has begun her book on the Mother titled A Unique Little Girl in the following words:

‘A unique little girl…

Do you understand what that means?

A unique little girl, is a little girl who is not ordinary.

I believe you know her… This is the little girl who is not ordinary.

This little girl is called Mirra—Mirra Alfassa. That is to say, right from her birth, she was called Mirra Alfassa, and her initials were M  A, MA. From the moment she was born she was called MA. On her clothes, on her sheets, on her dresses, there was embroidered: MA’

Today we take this opportunity of sharing with you some rare photographs of the Mother’s early years when She was known as Blanche Rachel Mirra Alfassa. These photographs were taken between 1883 and 1898.

Dear Friends,       

On 30 January 1948 Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated at Birla House, New Delhi. On the said occasion, Sri Aurobindo had issued two statements. The first one was a telegram dated 4 February 1948 which was sent to Mr. Kumbi of Gadag, in reply to his telegram “DARKNESS SORROW SPREADS FAST INDIA BAPUJI DEATH CHILDREN PRAY MESSAGE’. It was later released to the newspapers. The second message was sent to All India Radio, Tiruchirapalli, on 5 February 1948 in response to a request for a message.

We take the opportunity of sharing these two messages with you. To read the two messages, please click on the following link:

Light at ten

From overman foundation overmanfoundation@gmail.com date18 December 2010 12:56 subject From Overman Foundation: Sri Aurobindo's First Poem

Dear Friends, 

Sri Aurobindo was once asked, in 1939, during the course of a conversation by one of his disciples: “When did you begin to write poetry?” He answered: “When my two brothers and I were staying at Manchester. I wrote for the Fox family magazine. It was an awful imitation of somebody I don’t remember.” 

The magazine which Sri Aurobindo had referred to was the Fox’s Weekly which saw the light of the day on 11 January 1883. And the poem of Sri Aurobindo, titled Light, which was deeply inspired by P. B. Shelley’s The Cloud, was published in the very first issue of 11 January 1883. Let’s recall that in 1883 Sri Aurobindo was barely ten years of age.

We take the opportunity of sharing this poem with you all. To read the poem, please click on the following link: http://overmanfoundation.wordpress.com/2010/12/18/sri-aurobindos-first-poem/

Intellectual Roots of the Independence Movement in India: 1893-1918 by Dr Prithwindra Mukherjee

RE: THE INTELLECTUAL ROOTS OF THE INDEPENDENCE MOVEMENT IN INDIA -1893-1918 by DR PRITHWINDRA MUKHERJEE

Bhâi Tusâr, Thanks.

Enclosing a translation of Mr Attali's foreword. As you know, Mr Attali had been appointed advisor by former President François Mitterand, and is considered to be foremost among Western thinkers today. Regards.

Prithwindra Mukherjee

A Fascinating Thesis

Jacques Attali      

            No one leaves this great book by Prithwindra Mukherjee, unaffected by it.

            It is the work of a great intellectual, sociologist, writer, musicologist; a thesis begun under Raymond Aron and completed under Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie, supported by the biggest shots of French university, like Annie Kriegel. A wonderful instance of the quality of a university, which can  welcome within its fold someone coming from somewhere else and offering to France - in exchange - more than what she has given him. 

            This fascinating book constitutes first of all a passionate tribute to a grandfather, activist and martyr, whose place in the history of India has not been recognised as it deserved to be, in the front rank of the freedom fighters; simultaneously with a look for details, lucid, distancing itself, concerning a period very little known, that which, at the bend of the 19th to the 20th century, opens before India the path leading to the awareness of her identity, and the necessity of her fighting for independence.

            For too long a lapse, indeed, people have wished to think that Gandhi's non-violence had been enough to drive out the armies of the colonizer. That is not true. Before Gandhi succeeded in animating the vast social movement of the 1930s, there had been the great intellectual movement of Aurobindo, of Bagha Jatin, and of all those who strove by their side, at times up to death, enabling India to become aware of herself.

            This book is essential for understanding what today's India is, even in her violence,  and to put back in their due - the first - place, all the dreamers who, from Aurobindo to Tagore, from Gandhi to Patel  have trodden diverse paths  leading her to independence, in its diversity.

            It is essential as well for understanding the very special role that intellectuals played in all freedom movements, in India and elsewhere. And first of all their role in kindling the perception of the national idea, often artificial, often imaginary : here, Mr Mukherjee explains very well their driving power and the conditions of their crystallisation.  

            Essential, at last, for understanding the role of intellectuals in History, so often carried off by the consequences of their ideas, swept out, chased away, censored, by the very persons who implement their concepts.

            Become, by fluke of history, an exceptional musicologist and a great poet, having been set to music by the greatest musicians of our time, the author of this book reminds us that humanity is one, that music, poetry and politics are mere dimensions among other than human condition, and we have as yet much more to learn from India. Let France take advantage of it and establish relations necessary for our future. Jacques Attali

Deference and respect and awe-filled genuflections

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "This is Sri Aurobindo’s Ashram not yours and not P...": 

Also, about the deferential kow-towing to Pranab-da. I have observed and experienced that the victim in such situations, the moment he/she has the opportunity, often turns around and looks for others to give him/her the same deference and respect and awe-filled genuflections. They feel that they have paid their dues to Pranab-da and so now others in the same "junior" position to themselves as they were vis-a-vis Pranab-da need to compensate them in the same manner. After all, why should others get away and enjoy equality and freedom when they themselves could not? That would be patently unfair according to them. Since they have paid their dues and played by the rules of the game, others cannot go scott free without paying the necessary toll. From what I have seen MDG etc. are following this human psychological pattern to the T. So I hope you will understand me if I take the claims of the dawn of the golden age of guru-bhai-hood and equality post-Pranab with a massive helping of salt. Posted by Anonymous to Savitri Era Open Forum at 9:32 PM, October 20, 2010

Concentric layers of consciousness make up the Universe

Comment posted by Sandeep

I don't know what to make of Satprem's remarks.  Did he say this out of spiritual insight or was it just speculation?  Sri Aurobindo and the Mother repeatedly said that the future is a play of Forces - that everything is not completed worked out.   As you (i.e. Anon) may have read in their works, there are concentric layers of consciousness from the gross to the subtle which make up the Universe.   It is only when an event is fixed in the subtle-physical that one can say with certitude that it will manifest in a certain fashion.   Everything in the worlds above is subject to modification.
For instance, both Sri Aurobindo and the Mother had seen India's freedom in their visions around 1910 but they did not know until much later that there would also be a partition.
