Letters of Sri Aurobindo

1. The Mother: Individual, Universal, Transcendent

Fragment ID: 18942

In Prayers and Meditations, the Mother mentions her seeing you first on the 29th March 1914; in other words she met you when she first came to Pondicherry. How is it then that the 24th April 1920 is considered to be the day on which Mother saw you first?

The 24th April is the day on which Mother came from Japan to Pondicherry finally – not the day of her first seeing me. On the 29th March she came first from France, that visit lasting till February of the next year.

19 March 1936
