About the project
Mirra Alfassa, known as the Mother of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, was Sri Aurobindo’s partner and counterpart in every way. They had the same spiritual realisations and they worked for the same goal; to bring the New Consciousness for mankind. Mother was a true Guru, and a Universal Guru in every way. Her teaching has something for everyone because she taught for human progress on all levels and in all parts of the human being. The clarity and simplicity of her expression communicates something to everyone who reads her books. Her inner work included changing those who came to her; both those who were able to meet her physically and those who could come only in their inner being. Her consciousness was active on the universal subtle planes of creation, and she worked to enlighten thought and life impulse on a universal scale for all of mankind.

Mother established the Sri Aurobindo Ashram after November 24, 1926, when Sri Aurobindo retired to devote all his time to bringing the New Consciousness. She established the Ashram School in 1943, and taught the students French. From 1950 through 1958, in French, she taught them the highest, deepest, most complex spiritual and yogic philosophy and practice in a simple and easily understandable manner. She gave a realistic and practical view of Sri Aurobindo’s philosophy and the practice of his Yoga. These classes were transcribed and published as “Mother’s Questions and Answers”. The present series of Auroville Radio talks on Mother’s Questions and Answers begins on the date of July 12, 1955, because it is the first date of the available sound recordings of Mother teaching the class. The original recording of Mother’s class is part of the Radio Talk. It can be heard at the end of each talk. It is well worth listening to even of one does not understand French, because it imparts something of Mother’s consciousness to the listener.
