Auroville - The Mother's experiment of manifesting synthesis

 It has almost been a year now that I have been residing in and out of Auroville as a volunteer. There is no place like this on the whole planet as far as I know where The Mother dreamt of human unity for the incarnating souls who will be faced with the onslaught of the forces of darkness (which always are looking to create separation). The Brotherhood envisioned and taught in Theosophy was one step taken further in this century amidst forces of darkness, chaos, hatred and divisiveness. 

The barren land of 1960s has been transformed into a dry tropical evergreen forest through permaculture patiently practiced over half a century.


Today Matrimandir (An inner temple of the Divine Mother physically manifested and treated as soul of AUROVILLE ) is seen from above as shown below



The book Auroville: Sun-Word Rising by Savitra (Alan Shasha Lithman) aptly captures the battle being fought to manifest Auroville soon after physical passing away of The Mother in 1973. An image of this book (from Auroville's Library) but can be freely downloaded from auro e-books website. 


Ofcourse Auroville is still admist new battle of seemingly varying ideologies. Unfortunately residents of Auroville forgetting their divinity are succumbing to human ignorance and weakness and are fighting amongst each other by forming two groups (common black and white thinking or duality of good and evil explained by the great Initiate Jesus in Kim Micheals' books). Yet still here is a place which has manifested despite humans as The Mother had prophesized at the end of her incarnation. Savitra one of true Aurovillian's book captures the initial period of turbulent manifestation during 1980s.

Aphorisms as seed-thoughts

 Subsequent to our discussion on seed-thoughts, another great example of seed-thouht I think is an aphorism. The complete agni-yoga series of books by Roerichs are aphorisms of Ethical living (and give Ray 1 flavour of fiery will to the yoga of synthesis). Similarly the temple aphorisms of Francia A. La Due give a Ray 5 flavour of occult science to the works of H.P. Blavatsky and William Q. Judge. We quote those aphorims (as seed-thoughts) from temple teachings of Master H. (with his image):  "Days come and days go, but if thou watchest thou shalt see: THE LOAD thou hast laid on the heart of a friend will God transfer to thine own heart; heavy as it presses on the heart of thy friend, heavier will it press on thine own heart in the days to come. THE STONE thou hast cast from the path of the blind will smite the adder lying in wait for thee. THE WEIGHT thou hast clamped on the feet of another will drag thine own feet into Hadean desolation. THE SHELTER thou hast given the wayfa...

A synthesis of Savitri and Theosophy - Painting No 9

 "A glamour from unreached transcendences Iridescent with the glory of the Unseen, A message from the unknown immortal Light Ablaze upon creation’s quivering edge, Dawn built her aura of magnificent hues And buried its seed of grandeur in the hours." An occult meditation with a theosophical perspective: In these lines, Sri Aurobindo renders a captivating mood of a magical Dawn. It has an allure of inaccessible supremacy and is glittering with Unseen glory. There appears to be a message from an eternal Light, on fire upon a shivering rim. A splendid atmosphere with glorious tones seems as if the Dawn has planted its seed of splendour that will sprout in hours into a majestic day. The painting attempts to reproduce that magical Dawn. As stated previously, a Dawn might refer to any general beginning, an illustration in theosophy being a manvantara (manu/Ray 1 + anatara/gap or distance) generally valid from a microcosm (atomic life) to a macrocosm (man, planet, solar system and s...

The Yoga of Synthesis Diary Leaves 4

 Album The Yoga of Synthesis  Dated 22 January 2025 The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali give us four stages of meditation and when applied on symbols we find: 1. First, as the form is pondered upon, the realisation begins to dawn that it is but a symbol of an inner reality. 2. Second, there is a recognition of the quality or nature of the form—its subjective energy, the quality of the force that seems to flow through it, the emotion that the symbol arouses. 3. Third, as we concentrate on considering the quality, we arrive next at the purpose, the motive, and the idea that the symbol has held concealed. 4. Fourth, in the final stage of identification, one becomes at one with the symbol; one shares its quality; one participates in its purpose, and through these stages one arrives at a unity with the creator of the form. When applied to the four symbols (of Helena Blavatsky, Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, Alice Bailey, and the category-theoretic model of Cause-Meaning/Quality-Effect), we...
