THEME/S
Q: Can you speak to me about your impressions of Sri Aurobindo. What do you remember?
Sri Aurobindo was a magnificent sight. He was gold coloured and looked the embodiment of majesty and grandeur. We saw the Mother every day but only saw Sri Aurobindo four times each year. I never saw him stand up but his grandeur seemed to me, at so young an age, to be a combination of all the kings of the world in one form! I always tried to get a good look at him before standing before him for darshan. I just immediately knew from within that he was the Absolute in human form. There was no talking, no words, only the offering of garlands to him.
