My love and blessings are with you. Understand that blessings are for the best spiritual result, not necessarily according to human wishes.
- The Mother
My blessings are very dangerous. They cannot be for this one or for that one or against this person or against that thing. It is for, or well I will put it in a mystic way:
It is for the Will of the Lord to be done, with full force and power. So it is not necessary that there should always be a success. There might be a failure also, if such is the Will of the Lord. And the Will is for the progress, I mean the inner progress. So whatever will happen will be for the best.

Seeking the supramental light
Aurovillians celebrate 60{+t}{+h}anniversary of the descent of supramental consciousness on the Mother
Flowers with their spiritual significance decorated the Asian Peace Table, a large low-flung table, at the Unity Pavilion complex in Auroville on Thursday. Aurovillians from across the world gathered and sat on the cushions arranged around the Peace Table.
They had come down to the Hall of Peace, which Auroville architect Piero Cicionesi designed especially for the sacred Peace Table, in the Unity Pavilion complex in Auroville, to celebrate the 60{+t}{+h}anniversary of the descent of supramental consciousness on the Mother at the Sri Aurobindo Ashram.
“On February 29, the Mother had an exclusive experience in the playground in Ashram. She heard – ‘It’s time’. She knocked down a wall into two to allow the golden force to descend on her,” said Miriam Belov, a board member of the Nakashima Foundation for Peace.
On Thursday at 5 p.m, two board members were present in Auroville while their counterparts in Moscow and New York gathered at 2.30 p.m. and 6.30 a.m. respectively. ‘In the Light of the Supramental’, was the name given to the next stage of higher consciousness, which Sri Aurobindo saw as humanity’s spiritual destiny.
“The day is to celebrate Mother’s Supramental Consciousness. This is the Supramental Year and the flowers for this day have been chosen based on its psychic meaning,” she added.
The bunch of flowers placed on the table included hibiscus and white rose.
It is said that renowned master craftsman George Nakashima, a devotee of Sri Aurobindo, at the end of his life came across a magnificent walnut tree and had the vision of creating Altars to Peace on each continent. The first was dedicated at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine in New York City, the second went to the Academy of Art in Moscow and the third was dedicated twenty years ago in Auroville.
The board members Julian Lines and Miriam Belov, who were present in Auroville, contacted their counterparts in New York and listened to Mira Nakashima, daughter of George Nakashima.
Later, the Aurovillians gathered around the Peace Table and read out the significance of flowers and immersed in meditation to the music of flute and Russian Flat Bells.

We combine our desires with the blessings of the Mother and then are disappointed when they do not go into fulfillment.
It is the will of the Lord, which we have to understand, the inner progress for the best.

Champaklal Purani(February 2, 1903 - May 9, 1992), a disciple of Sri Aurobindo who long served as his personal attendant.
Born in Patan (Gujarat), he came to Pondicherry first in 1921 and finally in 1923.
From 1926 till 1938 only he and the Mother viewed Sri Aurobindo every day.

Champaklal's Treasures - a book-comprises writings and talks of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother.
They are
full of insights into the problems of transforming one's nature and offer ways to overcome them.His central aspiration was to
serve the Divine.
A great experience for the people in the community of Auroville,who could celebrate
the 60{+t}{+h}anniversary of the descent of supramental consciousness on the Mother.
In the hall of peace gathered Aurovillians from all other the world.
They immersed in meditation to the music of flute and Russian Flat Bells.
The desire to have been attending, is huge.
Mother, we worship and love You.

George Nakashima, renowned Master Woodworker who was born in the United States but worked in a Tokyo architectural firm prior to World War II, came to Pondicherry in 1937 to help design and build Golconde, Mother's beloved guest house in the Ashram.
When Nakashima received the huge trunk of a walnut tree in his Pennsylvania studio
he had the idea to make a table , an Altar for the Peace.
And so he created "The Asian Peace Table-''The Peace Table for USA ''The Peace table for Europe.
---
The inauguration of the Asian Peace Table was on 29th of February 1996 .
The 29th of February was called by the Mother ''The Golden Day".
On this day-in -1956-the manifestation of the Supramental took place upon earth.!!!!
The 29 of February, will be and remain something unique for us all.!!
