Champaklal Speaks : 'It is the Ramayana of my life'. 'My life is Sri Aurobindo & the Mother only. To write down their sweet memories is Champaklal's worship'
1944-10-06
I showed to Mother my portrait done by her on my birthday in 1935. Some small yellow spots had appeared on the paper.
Mother: “That happens when the paper is not good.”
C: “But this paper is of a good quality.”
Mother: “There must have been some defect in the making of this paper. It is a pity. The picture is wonderful, very nice.”
You know, this portrait was done by Mother with her eyes closed. She finished it in a few minutes and when she saw it, she was so happy with it that she took it immediately to Sri Aurobindo.
It was regarding this picture that she said: “If I were to write the name Leonardo da Vinci here [as the artist who made this] nobody would question it.... The pencil just went on moving.”
