    TALKS BY NIRODBARAN December 1969 – July 1970 TALKS by NIRODBARAN December 1969 – July 1970 Edited by Sunayana and Maurice Sri Aurobindo Ashram Pondicherry First Edition: 2018 Rs 210 ISBN 978-93-5210-152-8 © Sri Aurobindo Ashram Trust 2018 Published by Sri Aurobindo Ashram Publication Department Pondicherry 605 002 Web http://www.sabda.in Printed at Sri Aurobindo Ashram Press, Pondicherry PRINTED IN INDIA Foreword Four years before Sri Aurobindo’s birth centenary, at a teacher’s request, Nirod-da agreed to speak to the students of Sri Aurobindo International Centre of Education about Sri Aurobindo. It was thought that this would help to prepare them for the occasion. Having had a privileged contact with the Master for twelve years as well as a voluminous correspondence with him, Nirod-da soon became a big draw with the students. As the audience kept increasing for his talks, the venue was shifted to the larger Hall of Harmony. Each week Nirod-da’s talk to the students was tape-recorded on a cassette; then it was immediately transcribed and made available for the following session. In this way, a hundred and fifty talks were recorded and meticulously transcribed by Sudha and Kokila. It is interesting to note that Nirod-da’s Twelve Years with Sri Aurobindo was born of notes taken for these talks; before the book was published, it was read out to the Mother in instalments by the author himself. “Thanks toN irod,” the Mother wrote, “we have a revelation of an altogether unknown side of what Sri Aurobindo was.

  • A Very Thin Ridge Between the Marvelous and the Disastrous. Satprem
    THE REVOLT OF THE EARTH by Satprem “Satprem, as if impelled by some irrepressible urgency, publishes today a brief text, feverish and disturbing . Through sudden perceptions, bursts of light and brutal shocks, he will break out of this human life whose very stuff is living death, and cross over to the 'other side' through an all-consuming fire. What Satprem seeks to convey here is a 'miracle' wrenched from the very matter of the body, and how this miracle of a 'new sun' is beyond all words. His book gives a powerful urge to attempt the passage from the possible to the impossible— changing death in order to change life. André Velter Le Monde A very thin ridge between the Marvelous and the disastrous. Satprem Satprem THE REVOLT OF THE EARTH To Sri Aurobindo to Mother who gave me all to my mother and the sea gulls of the Côte Sauvage Through a wonder cleft in the bounds of births . SRI AUROBINDO 1 The Scientific Middle Ages WHEN A SPECIES fails to find its own sense, it dies or self-destructs. We think we are French and Chinese and Russian, yellow and white and black, but that is our first barbarism. We think we are Christian, Hedonist and Muslim or God knows what else, but that is our second barbarism. We think we are scientists and star discoverers— and consumers of every possible species—but that is our third barbarism. We gobble up everything, but who gobbles what ? We know everything, but who knows what ? After the religious Middle Ages, the scientific Middle Ages.

  • Nirodbaran Talks with Sri Aurobindo 01
    Talks with Sri Aurobindo Volume 1 by Nirodbaran Sri Aurobindo Ashram Pondicherry NOTE These talks are from my notebooks. For several years I used to record most of the conversations which Sri Aurobindo had with us, his attendants, and a few others, after the accident to his right leg in November 1938. Besides myself, the regular participants were: Purani, Champaklal, Satyendra, Mulshankar and Dr. Becharlal. Occasional visitors were Dr. Manilal, Dr. Rao and Dr. Savoor. As these notes were not seen by Sri Aurobindo himself, the responsibil- ity for the Master's words rests entirely with me. I do not vouch for absolute accuracy, but I have tried my best to reproduce them faithfully. I have made the same attempt for the remarks of the others. NIRODBARAN i PREFACE The eve of the November Darshan, 1938. The Ashram humming with the ar- rival of visitors. On every face signs of joy, in every look calm expectation and happiness. Everybody has retired early, lights have gone out: great occa- sion demands greater silent preparation. The Ashram is bathed in an atmos- phere of serene repose. Only one light keeps on burning in the corner room like a midnight vigil. Sri Aurobindo at work as usual. A sudden noise! A rush and hurry of feet breaking the calm sleep. 2:00 a.m. Then an urgent call to Sri Aurobindo's room. There, lying on the floor with his right knee flexed, is he, clad in white dhoti, upper body bare, the Golden Purusha. The Mother, dressed in a sari, is sitting beside him.

Pandit) Second edition 2008 (Revised and enlarged by Roshan) AUROBINDA GHOSE - 1909 Specially photographed for the prabasi and the Modern Review The Mother with Champaklal 2-2-1959 My dear child This year, the Grace has arranged circumstances in such a way that you are closer to me than you have ever been - and all through you have proved most reliable and effective, always ready, always there when you are needed, always doing what needs to be done. I am happy to tell you that on your birthday. With my love and blessings. The Mother PREFACE It is a delight to present this revised and enlarged edition of Champaklal's Treasures, which contains new material recently found among Champaklal's papers. This book comprises writings and talks of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother that were collected and preserved by Champaklal. These letters notes, messages and conversations delve deep into the values of a life based on truth, light, love, beauty, harmony and the divine consciousness. They are full of insights into the problems of transforming one's nature and offer ways to overcome them. Champaklal was interested in reading, writing, painting and music, but always his central aspiration was to serve the Divine. Sincere aspiration, even when not expressed in words, evokes a response from the Divine Grace. Champaklal's life is a standing example of this truth. His aspiration was fulfilled in a number of ways, often to his utter surprise.

The talk on “The Kalki Avatar” was also held at the Townhall, in February 2011, in the context of the seminar on “Muta- tion II”. I had been invited to give talks in Europe, the USA and India, but I had to cancel all travelling plans because of my heart condition. This led to the idea of giving a series of talks in Auroville, where I am living, and to record them so that the people who had invited me would be able, if they so desired, to have the talks all the same.

  • SRI AUROBINDO, the MOTHER and JUNG Running Head
    INTEGRAL PSYCHOLOGY: SRI AUROBINDO, THE MOTHER AND JUNG Running Head: Integral Psychology David Johnston Integral Psychology 2 ABSTRACT In this essay I argue that psychology must follow the lead of the new physics and new biology in adapting a quantum and relativity-based conceptual approach in order to sustain its relevance for the future. Although C. G. Jung realized this in his approach to psychology many years ago, mainline psychology has not followed suit and continues to follow a Newtonian and Cartesian formula. I also show how the yoga of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, and Jung's psychology of individuation are compatible. Given this compatibility, I argue that the development of a new and integral psychology could profitably be based on the ground that has already been laid by Jung and his school of psychology. In addition to having access to Sri Aurobindo and the Mother on the science of living, their disciples are well positioned to understand in a fundamental way this approach to the practice of psychology. Integral Psychology 3 INTEGRAL PSYCHOLOGY: SRI AUROBINDO AND THE MOTHER, AND JUNG Introduction Last year the British Columbia Psychological Association annual conference hosted a series of intrinsically interesting talks and other events, where the viewpoints and values expressed actually point towards the future. Outside of the music, which I enjoyed immensely, I particularly liked the talks given by the two keynote speakers and the direction that is potentially being opened up for psychology. Together, these two speakers proposed that, conceptually, the future of psychology lies in the direction of a more integral and quantum theoretical approach than is presently the case.

  • News and Notes
    News and Notes #862 A weekly bulletin for residents of Auroville 20th March 2021 Anusuya Forest photo: Piero Cefaloni HOUSE OF MOTHER’S AGENDA (continued from last week) 18 April 1970 The Mother: In last night’s experience, it was everything at the same time: the body felt, acted, it was conscious, it observed, decided – everything, just everything at the same time. There even was... I don't know, I didn't have a vision of Sri Aurobindo, but I had the sensation of his presence (that often happens: at times I'll see him and he won't speak; at other times I won't see him but I'll hear him, he'll speak to me – the laws are no longer the same), and he made me notice, or rather I noted that although the body was suffering a lot (the situation was critical, you know), there wasn't the shadow of a fear in the body. Then he told me, “Yes, it's because it is able not to be afraid that you can do the work.” The absence of fear is really the result of the yoga for so many years – for half a century. It was like this (gesture, hands open), offering its suffering, all the time like this. (silence) After last night, I have every reason to think that the work is very, very active – very active. Satprem: But on the level of the earth, how do things take place? For instance, you say that Sri Aurobindo, yourself and a number of us are working in this subtle physical to prepare the new world: how is the permeation of this subtle physical made? The Mother: But in that way.

  • The Psychic Being: Our Opening to the Divine By
    The Psychic Being: Our Opening to the Divine By Marshall Govindan Under what conditions will the fully opened Psychic Being bring about the supramental transformation by the practice of Sri Aurobindo’s Integral Yoga? This paper will attempt to answer the question. A clear understanding of Sri Aurobindo’s use of the term psychic being is essential to the practitioner of Integral Yoga. It is found throughout his writings and is a distinguishing feature of his Yoga. As we shall see, it cannot be equated with the English words soul or Self or with the Indian terms Atman, Jivatman, or Purusha. Although the Psychic Being is present in everyone’s heart, it is almost always hidden, and its workings are mingled with the movements of the mind and the vital. Until it emerges in the foreground of the consciousness, individual efforts in Yogic sadhana (discipline) remain fitful and limited by these movements. The practice of Sri Aurobindo’s Integral Yoga – summarized in the words aspiration, rejection, and surrender – progresses to the extent that the Psychic Being comes to the forefront of one’s consciousness. This occurs in four stages. What is the Psychic Being? Sri Aurobindo often refers to it metaphorically as a “spark which comes from the Divine.” The psychic is a spark come from the Divine which is there in all things and as the individual evolves it grows in him and manifests as the psychic being, the soul seeking always for the Divine and the Truth and answering to the Divine and the Truth whenever and wherever it meets it.
