THE MOTHER'S LIFE AND WORKS
Born in Paris in 1878, the Mother studied painting
at an art studio and became an accomplished artist.
Primarily interested in inner development, she was
associated with several groups of spiritual seekers in
France. In 1914 she journeyed to India to meet the
Indian mystic Sri Aurobindo in Pondicherry and settled
there permanently in 1920. For nearly fifty years, she
was the head of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, from its
founding in 1926 until her passing in 1973. She also
established a school, the Sri Aurobindo International
Centre of Education, in 1952, and an international
township, Auroville, in 1968.
|
The new edition
commemorates
the Mother's
125th birth anniversary
|
In these writings and conversations, the
Mother offers an uplifting vision of life and the promise of a luminous
future. Drawing upon her wide occult, spiritual and practical experience,
she explains the purpose of our life on earth, the Divine's way of working
in the world, the reason for our sorrows and struggles and the way to
deal with them. In simple and direct language she speaks of the qualities
needed to make inner progress, relate well with others, work effectively
and lead a dedicated spiritual life.
