The Spirit of Auroville

I also wrote a letter to M. André on 29.8.75:

Dear M. André,

Thank you so much for your kind letter.

We all know the situation of Auroville. We can only pray to the Mother to set everything right.

I have heard that Navajata wishes Panditji of Rameshwaram to put "Yantra" in the Matrimandir. Yantra means diagram believed to possess magical or occult powers. The term is derived from Yam, meaning, "to hold, curb or restrain," the Tra denoting the effecting instrument, hence by extension, "fetter, tie, thong, rein" etc. The drawing of Yantra is generally made up of geometric lines that serve to invoke or materialize certain forces.

I felt that I should write to Nolini-da, asking what to do, whether I should go to Matrimandir on 21.2.76 as I had been going for the last two years, to put the Mother's blessing packets in the bases of the pillars. His answer was: "I do not see any objection but all the same you may just consult Shyam-sunder."

Shyamsunder was informed.

M. André, the Mother has given so much and she is still giving in abundance. I do not understand why people seek help from Panditji or anybody else?

Nolini-da has sent two copies of the booklet Matrimandir—The Mother's Truth and Love to C.P.N. Singh, M.P. of Delhi.

Thanking you once again,

In the Mother's Light and Love,

Yours, Huta
