Encounter with an Asuric Being



May 15, 1962

(During the night of April 3, Mother had encountered an asuric being
who had managed to assume Sri Aurobindo's appearance, as well as a group of
people wanting to found a Nietzschean-type religion. Following this encounter,
a heart attack had gravely endangered Mother's life. But this was not the first
such meeting.)



I had said [on April 3] I would find the date of my first

The Aurovilian Must Not Be A Slave To His Desires













(I do not know who
told you that ‒ but there is a
misunderstanding somewhere because to hand over the management of Auroville to
any country or any group however big it may be is an absolute
impossibility. Blessings, The Mother)





We should teach them to free themselves from the idea of
personal possession.... You see, everything belongs to the Divine, and the
Divine gives you not

Sri Aurobindo's Birthday and India's Independence Day

















The Kalki Avatars-Napoleon Bonaparte

















Sri Aurobindo was known in his ashram as the rebirth of Napoleon. Napoleon’s birthday was also August 15th.... In his previous births, it was believed he was Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Krishna and many other persons too.

Sri Aurobindo and the Mother on Politics



Question: Sweet
Mother, what should be the attitude of a true politician?

Ans.:  But it's just the
attitude of a true politician which I have given here. It's
the ideal
politician, my child. One can't make a better one. It is the circumstances, he
says that himself: "a greater force than mine..." it's the way the
world is organised; he started with the best intentions, he tried his very
best,

Sri Aurobindo and the Mother on Planchette, Automatic Writing






Sri
Aurobindo's younger brother, Barindra, was like an orbiting planet round the
Sun that was the elder brother… During his
stay at Baroda, Barindra who had been reading about the then widely popular
phenomenon of "Spiritualism" started experimenting with planchette
writing, table tapping and mediumistic communication. Sri Aurobindo sometimes
joined the séances, partly out of amusement and

The Longest Sentence in English Poetry is in Sri Aurobindo's "Savitri"





The
longest sentence in English poetry—143 words and, if a compound is counted as
two, 144—is in Savitri, Book IV, Conto III,
P.426.



     
We must understand, of course, that true sentence-length does not really depend
on putting a full-stop as late as possible and substituting commas and
semi-colons and colons for it wherever we can. The true length is organic. The
construction is such
