As a woman, Mirra could be equated with ‘Feminine power’, ‘Mother Goddess’, or ‘Prakriti’ in Sankhya dualism. Aurobindo exalted her, affirming ‘Mirra as the embodiment of the Divine Mother and his “Shakti” (spiritual executor of his will)’ (Banerji 2018, 39). In most Indian religious and philosophical writing, Shakti can be represented in four broad categories: the feminine power, the creative power of male gods and saints, the personification of this power as various Goddesses, and the three Mahadevis (Kuchuk 2022, 8). Thus, when Aurobindo referred to Mirra as ‘the Mother’ and ‘his Shakti’, he attributed all ‘three main aspects of the Mother: the Individual (that is, embodied as Alfassa), the Universal, and the Transcendent’ (Kuchuk 2022, 8).
Sri Aurobindo accurately identified the nadir of our civilization in the 17/18th century and felt its rebirth beginning in his lifetime - he wrote "The Renaissance in India" in 1918.

Sri Pradeep Narang ji said that one cannot see Mother India suffering and bleeding. It is because of this Sri Aurobindo extensively wrote people to get involved in Freedom Struggle. Sri Aurobindo elevated the Spiritual nationalism in Indians to rekindle Indian-ness.

Dr Beloo Mehra introduced the theme and the speaker, Sri Mathriprasad ji. He is the Chairman of the Aurobindo ashram. He is a renowned author and speaker on Sri Aurobindo 's work and philosophy
Replying to
Mathriprasad ji used two terminologies. Mystified miracles and determined miracle. Sri Adi Shankara invoked Ganga being from Kaladi in a remote part of Kerala. How was he aware of?. The same is the case with Gangaikonda Cholapuram.
Replying to
The next dream is World Union. The way to bring this unity is also described by him, the pathways; the detailed roadmap has been given. Here we can see Internationalism is growing in all aspects, though there is still a long way to go for achieving true world unity.
Replying to
Don't believe karma is fine.
But do read it directly from texts and its Commentaries once before ruling it out.
Essays on the Gita by Sri Aurobindo is complex but a good intro.
Most Hindus are misinformed about Karma.

Patrick Beldio's paper on The Mother is quite impressive but he has corrupted it by importing sundry concepts and terminology from other traditions. Somehow, he seems to miss out the first occurrence of descent of Supramental force for which Sri Aurobindo's death was necessitated
