Sri Aurobindo was so informal, so affable, so genial, so lovable, so adorable, so willing to listen to us

1: Sri Aurobindo and the Mother as I saw them — by V. Chidanandam
posted by RY Deshpande on Thu 17 Jan 2008 06:05 AM PST Permanent Link
My brother V. Chandrasekharam and I lived in the house next door to 9 Rue de la Marine, the Master's residence. There were about a dozen disciples then living in a few houses close by. It was like Gurukul. There used to be informal sittings in the evenings when we used to talk on all kinds of subjects. It was often like table-talk. Sometimes serious sub­jects also were discussed. At other times the talk was in a lighter vein on men and matters, on politics at home and abroad, etc., but it was all off the cuff.

Sri Aurobindo's voice was soft and gentle, almost feminine. His words flowed like the cool waters of a perennial spring. Thoughts came to him incessantly. It appeared as if he was in communication with higher levels of inspiration and direct knowledge. His experience in the sphere of Sadhana as well as in other spheres was vast and profound. But he made us feel quite at ease in his august presence. I never saw him solemn or serious. The Master would talk in a relaxed and jovial mood. He had a fine and subtle sense of humour. Even light hearted jokes and jests used to be there in plenty. His repartee was good humoured and enjoyable. On occasions he would chuckle happily... Science, Culture and Integral Yoga

Uniting annai bhaktans from all over the world

Annai Mira Alfassa - The Mother Sunday, January 13, 2008

About The Mother
Early yearsMirra Alfassa (Paris 21.2.1878 - Pondicherry 17.11.73) was born as the second child of an Egyptian mother and a Turkish father, a few months after her parents had settled in France. An extraordinarily gifted child, who became an accomplished painter and musician, she had many inner experiences from early childhood on. In her twenties she studied occultism in Algeria with Max Theon and his English wife Alma, who was a highly developed medium. After her return to Paris, the Mother worked with several different groups of spiritual seekers.
Meeting Sri Aurobindo
She first heard of Sri Aurobindo from her friend Alexandra David-Neel, who had visited him in Pondicherry in 1912; and in 1914, along with her second husband Paul Richard, she was able to travel to Pondicherry and meet him in person. There, she immediately recognised him as a mentor she had encountered in earlier visions, and knew that her future work was at his side. Although she had to leave India after the outbreak of the First World War, first returning to France, and then accompanying Richard to an official post in Japan, in April 1920 she returned to join Sri Aurobindo in Pondicherry and never left again. Sri Aurobindo recognised in her an embodiment of the dynamic expressive aspect of evolutionary, creative Force, in India traditionally known and approached as the 'Supreme Mother'.
Sri Aurobindo Ashram and Auroville
It was the Mother, as Sri Aurobindo's 'Shakti', who organised the growing group of followers around him into the Sri Aurobindo Ashram from November 1926 onwards, and who in 1952, after his passing in 1950, created the Sri Aurobindo International Centre of Education to fulfil his wish to provide a new kind of education for Indian youth. In 1968 she founded the international township project of Auroville as a yet wider field for practical attempts to implement Sri Aurobindo's vision of new forms of individual and collective life, preparing the way towards a brighter future for the whole earth."Humanity is not the last rung of the terrestrial creation. Evolution continues and man will be surpassed. It is for each individual to know whether he wants to participate in the advent of this new species."
"For those who are satisfied with the world as it is, Auroville obviously has no reason to exist."The Mother, 1966
Consciousness beyond Mind
Both Sri Aurobindo and The Mother worked all their lives for the manifestation of a mode of consciousness beyond mind, which Sri Aurobindo named "Supermind" or "The Supramental". The full expression of this consciousness on earth would result not only in a new species, as far beyond Man as humanity is beyond the animals, but also in a modification of the whole terrestrial creation, even more complete than the change brought about by the entrance on the world scene of the human race.Between humanity and the fully Supramental species there would have to be one or several transitional steps, represented by transitional beings, born in the human way, but able to contact and express the higher consciousness. These transitional beings would prepare the way for the advent of the Supramental Race by establishing suitable conditions.
Transformation
After Sri Aurobindo's passing, the Mother continued his work of psychological and physical transformation with the help of the new force. An account of her experiences in the course of this work is given in The Mothers Agenda, an intimate record of the last 18 years of her life.Their work continues.

Mr. Madan would make Sri Aurobindo's complex philosophy so simple!

It was in class IX that I knew failure formally for the first time. That year, my school not only decided that, on the basis of my academics, I did not deserve to be promoted but also expelled me from the school for a year. Not formally expelled, but my father was called and told that the school would be happy to provide me a Transfer Certificate. I was not shown the door by the school for anything complicated - it was just that I had violated school discipline. That was true.
Most of my class VIII and class IX, I hardly attended school. During school hours three days a week, I would walk down the Qutub Minar about three km away and act as an unofficial "tourist guide". Two days a week, I would be in class in a futile effort to keep track of what was going on. School was incredibly boring but I had modest success as a guide. But somehow I passed class VIII.
After learning the ropes for about three months in class VIII, I launched out on my own. I had observed that most people preferred the unofficial guides to the official ones who would wait for a large enough group to gather, demand larger tips and would still be boring. The unofficial ones like me would be more flexible both in the size of the groups and the size of the tips. Blessed with a glib tongue, a love for history and a fertile imagination, I did well.
Imagination is important in a guide as since the basic historical facts are essentially dry, lots of fanciful embellishment is required to make the tour palatable to the tourist. As regards Qutub Minar, I knew all the official history as well as a lot of the unofficial one that an off beat historian P.N. Oak had written about. On an average, I made about Rs. 20 a day which paid for a good lunch in a shack outside the Qutub and my bus fare home (60 paisa that time). Some times, I would come back to the school, clamber over the wall and take the school bus back. I had hidden a change of clothes in a dry drain outside the school wall.
After the expulsion, my father was at his wit's end. He took me around to a couple of schools which didn't work out and then he decided to put me in a Bengali medium school. Regional language schools were then as now generally considered down market but I guess that my father was left with little options. Most schools were curious to know the reasons of my wanting to shift schools and the fact that in had failed in class IX did not help.
The final snub came when the Bengali medium school conducted an entrance test which I flunked and the principal called my father in and told him that they might be running a Bengali medium school but even they had some standards. Left with no alternative, my father decided to go back to my old school and plead for another chance. It was then that I met Mr. Madan.
Mr. Madan wasn't the principal. He use to sit in an office labeled "Registrar". I didn't know who a registrar was. The word sounded like register and those who maintained registers were clerks and so I thought that Mr. Madan must be a clerk - even if a clerk with a room to himself. I didn't know why my father was wasting time with a clerk when he ought to be meeting the principal. My father and he spent a lot of time together and then I was called into Mr. Madan's office where he told me that I was being taken in and being given a second chance.
Shortly thereafter, the existing principal left and Mr. Madan became principal. Among his jobs as Principal was to lead the school assembly. Many incumbents would go through the motions but not Mr. Madan. He effortlessly and beatifically would look forward to this time and would take the mike to talk to students about the life and teachings of Sri Aurobindo. He would make Aurobindo's complex philosophy so simple!
He would talk about Aurobindo's conversion in the Alipur Jail in Kolkata - where he saw God in every prison bar, warden and fellow prisoner and later in the court room in the faces of the judge, the prosecution and his counsel, C.R. Das; how after his acquittal, he gave up revolutionary politics or any kind of politics and devoted himself to yoga and how his book "Savitri" is only the second epic in English after Milton's Paradise Lost. Sometimes he would invite outside speakers and they would speak long and some classes would get cancelled.
Mr. Madan taught us English Literature. He taught Shakespeare. He taught Shelly. He taught Thomas Grey. And most importantly through all this he taught us life. When he taught us Thomas Grey's "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard..." he taught us to dream big dreams even if they did not always happen and would end like dreams buried in Grey's country churchyard. When he taught Merchant of Venice, he did not just teach Antonio, Portia and Shylock, he also taught compassion, mercy, justice and their relative place in life. He made us memorize Portia"s famous speech "The quality of mercy is not strained" to emphasize that though justice was important, mercy and compassion overrode every thing. He did not just preach that. He lived that. He picked up a student who had been expelled and took him and back and never let him feel that he had done a favor. In English literature, I always seemed to get the highest marks. Was it because I loved the subject and the way it was taught or I really deserved them, I never knew.
Mr. Madan never used grand words and I never heard him say that he was "called" but it was in his life that I first understood the word "vocation". He was not a teacher because he was paid to teach. He was a teacher because he had a vocation to teach. He did not teach a subject, he taught people and they bloomed and blossomed in his care and nurture. Though he taught only one subject and that was not Physics, or Chemistry or some thing like that, he put a spark in his English lessons that their ripples carried far and away. Mr. Madan taught us a book by James Hilton called Goodbye Mr. Chips. Those who have read the book will know what it is about. There are films with a similar theme like To Sir With Love and even a Hindi film called Sir.
I haven't seen the films. I have read the book though. But I can't read the book too many times without the tears brimming. For I have my own Mr. Chips. Mr. Madan - my one time principal and forever my teacher.
I wonder where he is today.
Shantanu Dutta is a doctor by training and a development professional by vocation. His blogs mostly deal with change, complexity and conversion. Most of of what he writes is guided by the axiom WWJD - How would Jesus understand, interpret and write about the situation.

I met The Mother of Sri Aurobindo Ashram

I believe in rebirth after death. So when I was compelled to live in Baranagar, in Calcutta, I found myself living in another world. Calcutta was a contrast to Ranchi. Calcutta appeared to me ugly and rough and if the city lacked the one most important thing of life, it was delight of mere existence. Perhaps I had to experience two lives in a single birth. I could never compromise with my life after coming from Ranchi. I felt myself most unfortunate man – a man who had lost his birth place - his motherland.
Long-long after this when I began to gather myself I met the Mother of Sri Aurobindo Ashram. And I again felt the delight in a person. He was Sachindranath Chatterjee of Sri Aurobindo Ashram. He belongs to another tale. So from Sri Ramakrishna to Sri Aurobindo I have had the experiences of more than one birth. But it is a single being and all is merged as a single feeling as the innumerable stars in the sky above and the chirping of the crickets below are caught in the single experience of silence. I am unmoved in it. Posted by Debabrata Ghosh at 20:00:00
