On the occasion of Mother's birthday at Savitri Bhavan there will be an open exhibition on Mother's experiences and thoughts on Supramental transformation. In an interview with Loretta, who created the whole exhibition, we talked about it. In her exhibitions, she tries to recapture the spirit that used to be at the Ashram, when Mother was still in her body. This year we will see pictures of Mother after her major experiences, and some of her intimate belongings, which the Ashram Museum kindly offered for this occasion.

The Transition School teachers chose “Peace” as the special value this year. Loretta was invited to speak to four different classes of 9-10 year old children on Mother and Peace. She brought photographs of Mother with the Ashram school children and read a text of Mother teaching on how to find peace. This talk brings stories of Mother and the Ashram children and Auroville in the early days. Mother's teaching on Peace is useful for people of every age. Read more

The Mother has said explicitly that one of the reasons for her incarnation was to provide a safe passage to the deceased on their way to the psychic world through the vital and mental domains. She built these passages when she was still quite young. Since then more cases have been reported of ‘near-death experiences’, where people who return from such an experience describe it in ecstatic terms. In the lecture by Georges Van Vrekhem held on the November 18 at Savitri Bhavan, he re-accounted such experiences and related it to the passing and realisation of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother.

On 3 February, 1958, the Mother's consciousness went to the place where the link between our physical world and the supramental world was being prepared. When She returned, Her experience was written down, and Mother read Her report to the Ashram. In July 2010, Loretta visited the Sri Aurobindo study group in New York and gave a talk on Mother's experience. Mother's reading to the Ashram was recorded. As part of her talk, Loretta read out the English translation and played Mother's reading in French, and answered questions put by the group.

Suoni lontani e vicini di braccialetti di vetro in tinta coi sari. Clacson ed accellerazioni di veicoli diesel. Passi di sadhak e visitatori. Colpi di tosse trattenuta e squittii di scoiattoli che contendono ai corvi i rami migliori. Messaggini ricevuti e non letti. Passi felpanti con cavigliere d'argento. Foglie e fiori che cadono in sincrono. Silenzio e rumore si rincorrono in circolo. Cip, Cip, Cip, Craa, Craa, Craa...
