The Mother's answers to questions from students and sadhaks on conversations of 1929.
Ce volume comporte les réponses de la Mère aux questions des enfants de l’Ashram et des disciples, et ses commentaires sur ses Entretiens 1929.
This volume is made up of talks given by the Mother in 1953 to the members of her French class. Held on Wednesday evenings at the Ashram Playground, the class was composed of sadhaks of the Ashram and students of its school. The Mother usually began by reading out a passage from one of her works and then invited questions. For most of the year she discussed her talks of 1929. She spoke only in French.
These talks of 1953 were given by the Mother in French and appear here in translation. The first eight talks were noted down by one of the participants; the rest were tape-recorded. The talks were first published in the French original and in English translation in the quarterly Bulletin of Sri Aurobindo International Centre of Education from August 1967 to February 1973. In 1976 the English translation, slightly revised, was brought out under the title Questions and Answers 1953 as Volume 5 of the Collected Works of the Mother (first edition). The book was reprinted independently in 1998. The present volume has the same text as the first edition of the Collected Works, apart from some minor revisions of the translation.
