Nagin Bhai Tells Me

Two Poems by Nagin-bhai

The Supreme Sun

A decimal point in the vastness of Eternity,

So it seemed to my first human sight,

But here the finite was measuring the Infinite.

Even my cosmic gaze failed to contain that orb!

The golden Sun was bigger than all our sky,

It shadowed the luminous stars of the Way.

Calm, serene and joyous were the beams

Of the mighty Sun which stood alone,

Menacing the very existence of the Inconscient.

Lotus Dawn

O Light Immaculate! long desired One!

With ruthful love Thou comest

To capture the world in a hushed tone!

Mighty Power of lightning steed!

Ere the mortal mind realised Thee

The hidden earth-spirit was freed!

Through thirty winters' blast and noise,

When our last ray was flickering

Two lonely souls toiled in deep poise.

Eagle fire-winged! One sweep on earth

By Thee broke age-old darknesses,—

Our life's lost paradise took birth!

Heralds of the Supramental World—The Mother

The painting was done by Pramode Kumar Chatterjee in February 1956 in Calcutta after a visionary experience. At that time he knew nothing about the supramental manifestation in the subtle-physical of the earth which, as declared by the Mother, occurred on the last day of that month. When he showed the painting to the Mother in 1958 she wrote the caption on its lower margin. She also got it printed and distributed it on the Darshan Day, 21 February 1960. It is exhibited in the room where Sri Aurobindo and the Mother used to sit for giving Darshan.
