Only one Matrimandir

1971-10-05

Some devotees who constructed a special building at their centre asked Mother to give her consent to their naming it 'Matrimandir'.

I said: “Mother, there is only one Matrimandir, the one you are building in Auroville. This name should not be used anywhere else.”

Then Mother herself, without my asking for it, wrote out the note below and signed it:

There is only one Matrimandir, the Matrimandir of Auroville.

The others must have other name.

The Mother.

Thereafter, to anybody who asked permission to use this name she would say the same thing.
