Loretta Shartsis

Loretta came to see The Mother because of The Mother’s work on the immortality of the physical body and she had Her Darshan in February, 1972. The next day after this first Darshan, The Mother put Loretta in Auroville. Since then Loretta has been an Aurovilian, with time also as a resident of the Ashram. Loretta has devoted her life to working for Mother and Sri Aurobindo and doing Sri Aurobindo’s Yoga. Over the years, she has presented photograph exhibitions, published books, given lectures and workshops, participated in the Art for Land action with special talks, and recorded Auroville Radio podcasts about Mother and Sri Aurobindo and their teachings. She has made a two hour documentary video on Mother's life and work called, "The Teachings Of Flowers".
