... lives. I rose From birth to birth, until I reached the peak Of human knowledge. Then in Bharat born I, Kuthumi, the Kshatriya, the adept, The mighty Yogin of Dwaipayan's school, To Vyása came, the great original sage. He looked upon me with the eye that sees And smiled, august and awful. "Kuthumi," He cried, "now gather back what thou hast learned In many lives, remember all thy past, Cease from...

... astral business with Kuthumi or any of the other great Rishis, the fact is unknown to his other Koshas.' 2 Only as he requires perfect solitude and freedom from disturbance for his Sadhana for some time, his address is being kept a strict secret. This is the only foundation for the remarkable rumour which the vigorous 1 Mahātmā: mahat + atma: great soul. Mahatmas: Kuthumi is the chief of... Mahatma hood. These "souls to death denied" preserve the knowledge that preserves the world. For, when Kali comes men are endangered because they lose true knowledge and are covered in ignorance. But Kuthumi gives hope to man. "... for the golden age In Kali comes, the iron lined with gold, The Yoga shall be given back to men, The sects shall cease, the grim debates die out ...

... particular manifestation of the Divine Personality. It is shocking to our spiritual notions to find cosmic Demiurges of a vague semi-divine character put between us and the All-Powerful and All-Loving and Kutthumi and Maurya taking the place of God. One sees, finally, a new Theocracy claiming the place of the Page 68 old, and that Theocracy is dominantly European. Indians figure numerously as... somebody has heard from somebody else that Mrs Besant heard it from a Mahatma, is a little unsafe and indefinite. Even if the assurance is given direct, we shall learn to ask for the proofs. Even if Kutthumi himself comes and tells me, I shall certainly respect his statement, but also I shall judge it and seek its verification. The greatest Mahatma is only a servant of the Most High and I must see his ...
... His disappearance had been reported in the two magazines, 'Dharma' and 'Karmayogin'. People knew that he had gone away among the Himalayas for sadhana in response to a call from the Tibetan saint Kuthumi. Nonetheless, the police were more in the know than our countrymen; they were at that time searching for Aurobindo Babu in Calcutta... "His look never seemed to be that of any human being, as... is now interviewing the Mahatmas in Tibet. We are ourselves unaware of this mysterious disappearance.

... 43 The Mahatmas: Kuthumi is described by Sri Aurobindo as "a play of the imaginative, a poetic reconstruction of the central idea only of Mahatmahood". Kuthumi, the Kshatriya Yogin, having steadily risen in consciousness from birth to birth and gathered the folds of knowledge incommensurable, comes to Vyasa "our great original sage". As directed by the sage, Kuthumi does Hatha Yoga and Raja... IV Some of the pieces included in Sri Aurobindo's Collected Poems — the dialogue, The Birth of Sin, and the three speculative poetic exercises. The Rakshasas, Kama and The Mahatmas: Kuthumi - probably belong to the political period, though it is possible that they were conceived during the last years at Baroda. In any case, the poems go naturally with The Rishi, A Vision of Science... Krishna, make total surrender to Him and then manifest the Divine Truth on earth - an easy task enough till the Iron Age of Kali when the fight against Darkness must prove more and more difficult - Kuthumi finds the Lord concealed in a "hermit mad" and loses himself in Him: I fell before him... ...and out of me All knowledge, all desire, all strength was gone Into its source ...
... way to Devahood, a being of aggressive thought force and great vital vehemence, but of a very limited power in the true sense of the word, who has associated himself with Kutthumi and is tolerated by him, because otherwise Kutthumi would not be able to exercise an influence of practical action on the human world. (Rapports avec la T.S.) I doubt, unless the Maurya influence can be broken, but that... able to accommodate themselves to the narrowness of theirs and be sufficiently indulgent to their littleness. That is why there is the discord. There is a great deal of ignorance in that idea. Kutthumi and Maurya are merely names and forms, true only as a psychic symbol or an instrumental representation, of the two main powers that are behind them, one governing their thought, the other influencing... only responded to partial indications of one or the other; that is why Page 1427 there [have] 3 been so many divisions and so much confused and uncertain action in the movement. Kutthumi represents a Deva, not a Jnana Deva, but a certain kind of thought deva who responds with a limited light but a great abundance of curious thought formations to the greater Idea that comes from the ...
... Who knows? The fires of Smithfield may yet reblaze to save heretics from the perdition which an illustrious voice has declared to us to be the destined doom of all who do not acknowledge Maurya & Kutthumi. These are not mere fantastic speculations. The history of humanity & the peculiar capacities of that apparently incalculable & erratic thing, human nature, ought to warn us of their possibility—or ...

Theosophists would want to guide me to Master Moria or Master Kuthumi or some other Master out of the group which has completely monopolised the management of the universe, leaving poor Sri Aurobindo no room at all anywhere, (laughter) The name "Sri ...

You have a poem called 'Kuthumi'. Have you met him?" Sri Aurobindo said, "No. That poem is pure imagination. In the end, our paper, the Karmayogin, had to publish an official denial of these reports about ...
