Sri Aurobindo ~ The Mother (The Seminal Text)


Listen Later

Sri Aurobindo's seminal text The Mother (1928) is a concise, foundational work in Integral Yoga, outlining the Divine Mother's crucial role, her four great aspects (Maheshwari, Mahakali, Mahalakshmi, Mahasaraswati), and the path to divine transformation on Earth, emphasizing sincerity, self-opening, and the descent of the supramental consciousness, with later comments from the Mother herself adding depth to its principles of spiritual evolution and world change. In essence, The Mother serves as a concise manual for understanding and connecting with the Divine Mother's presence and power, essential for humanity's spiritual evolution towards a divine life on Earth. The Mother is one of Sri Aurobindo's most popular and influential works, often read alongside his larger magnum opus, Savitri.Ebooks resources:https://www.motherandsriaurobindo.in/Sri Aurobindo (born Aurobindo Ghose; 15 August 1872 – 5 December 1950) was an Indian philosopher, yogi, maharishi, poet, mystic, and Indian nationalist. He joined the movement for India's freedom from British rule and for a duration (1905–10), became one of its most important leaders, before turning to developing his own vision and philosophy of human progress and spiritual evolution.At Pondicherry, Sri Aurobindo developed a spiritual practice he called Integral Yoga. The central theme of his vision was the evolution of human life into a divine life in a divine body. He believed in a spiritual realisation that not only liberated but transformed human nature, enabling a divine life on earth. In 1926, with the help of his spiritual collaborator, Mirra Alfassa (referred to as "The Mother"), Sri Aurobindo Ashram was founded.Sri Aurobindo was nominated twice for the Nobel prize, in 1943 for the Nobel award in Literature and in 1950 for the Nobel award in Peace.
