Sri Aurobindo — Nahar, Prithwi Singh
June 7, 1934
Prithwi Singh
The Mother has received your letter and she appreciates very much the offer you have made to her and most the spirit in which it is made. But she had learned that the price of the crown will amount to Rs. 1500, a far higher sum than any she would ever have thought of allowing to be spent on this or any similar object for her. She would therefore like to ask all of you to give up the idea of preparing so costly a crown especially as it would appear that it is very difficult and might not be a success. It would be a disastrous result if so much, far too much were spent to no purpose. The proposal of the crown may therefore be abandoned altogether. The Mother values very highly the spirit of bhakti and offering which has animated you and Umirchand1 and Udaysingh,2 and she trusts that you and they will understand and will not feel the giving up of the project.
We send to you all our love and blessings.
Sri Aurobindo
