Interview with Ushaben and Chunibhai - Part 1 | Hosted by Narad
In this 15th episode of our series, "Sri Aurobindo Ashram - The Early Years," we are delighted to be joined by Ushaben and Chunibhai as they recount their journey from Zambia to Pondicherry and their decades of dedicated service in the presence of The Mother.
Together, they share a touching narrative of a life defined by "Divine Protection" and the practical application of Mother’s teachings in the smallest details of physical work and devotion.
In this episode, we explore:
A Shared Path from Zambia: Ushaben and Chunibhai discuss their early connection to the Ashram in 1955 and the decision to work and save in Zambia specifically to offer that work to The Mother upon their permanent return in 1960.
The Mother’s Invisible Help: Moving accounts from both guests on feeling the Mother’s "Special Protection" during their travels and the inner reassurance that the Divine was watching over their family’s every step.
Service in the Ashram Departments: Memories of their collective efforts in the Soda Factory and the hand-binding department, illustrating the atmosphere of selfless service that defined the early Ashram departments.
Ushaben’s Lesson on the Body: A profound personal story of how Ushaben learned to communicate with her body—commanding it to find strength for work during the "Staircase" activities and, as The Mother taught, remembering to thank the body for its cooperation.
Chunibhai’s Reflections on the Presence: Insights into the daily atmosphere of the Ashram during the 1960s and the quiet, powerful ways The Mother’s presence guided their transition into a life of Integral Yoga.
The Joy of Collective Work: Vivid recollections of the intense physical labor of the early years and how the Mother's presence provided the inner energy to overcome exhaustion and physical pain.
Whether you are commuting, practicing yoga, or simply taking a break from the screen, let these "beautiful reminiscences" accompany your day as we explore the spirit of dedication that built the early Ashram.
