The Spirit of Auroville

I wrote to Nolini-da on 3.6.76:

Dear Nolini-da,

As you know I go once a year to the Matrimandir—that is on the Mother's birthday—to put a blessing packet, flowers and a combined gold symbol of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. You have fully and graciously approved of this.

There was a lot of misunderstanding and difficulty before I went to the Matrimandir last February 21st. So, for the next year—1977—I should like to take precautions beforehand so that things may be smoother.

Now two pillars still remain to receive our offerings—those of Maheshwari and Mahasaraswati. I sincerely feel that from the occult and the spiritual point of view these pillars too must receive our offerings. Otherwise there will be no meaning.

1978, the Mother's Birth centenary Year, will have a lot of activities on February 21st. So, if you will kindly consent, then I would very much like to put our offerings into both the pillars at one and the same time next year —1977—in the afternoon—on the Mother's birthday—February 21st.

I shall be very happy and grateful if I can have from you your written approval of this proposal of mine. Will you please give it and also send two of Mother's blessing packets touched by her? I assure you that I will keep them intact in my meditation room along with the Mother's things.

When the time comes, I will take personally as usual the flowers from you, and will surely show you everything which will be taken and to be put into the two pillars—of Maheshwari as well as Mahasaraswati.

I am sure you will understand my feeling—as you always do.

Thank you ever so much for your kind support and help.

With deep regards in the Mother's Light.

Yours,

Huta
