On this day, exactly 46 years ago, The Mother's body was placed in the Samadhi in Ashram courtyard, in a vault above #SriAurobindo's

Let us try to go through Her & Sri Aurobindo's inner & outer journey in Pondicherry, from Her Arrival in 1920 till Her apparent Departure in 1973.

1) Arrival in Pondicherry, Mother's stay in Bayoud House:

The Mother arrived in Pondicherry on 24 Apr, 1920 along with Paul Richard & Datta, & stayed in Bayoud House for ~half year.

Along with the ongoing work on the 'Arya', the 'Deva-Sangha' was slowly beginning to be formed:

2) Mother moves to Guest House:

Due to a tumultuous relationship with the Mother, Paul decided to leave Pondicherry in Nov-1920. She moved to #SriAurobindo's residence on 24 Nov as advised by Him after a local cyclone..

The Yoga was now beginning to extend to the nether realms:

3) Moving to the Library House:

After their stay in the Guest House (during which the "Arya" was completed & the famous stone throwing incident happened), #SriAurobindo & the Mother decided to shift to "Library House" ~Sep-1922.

A new routine with the inmates was being created:

4) New Buildings acquired, New Sadhaks join:

With the no. of inmates increasing, new buildings were inspected & rented around Library House (Rosary House, Meditation House, Secretariat).

"Heaven's call is rare, rarer the heart that heeds." - A few hearts did heed to Their call:

5) Siddhi Day, Ashram Established, Overmental creation:

The descent of Krishna Consc. on 24 Nov. 1926 led to an almost total withdrawal of #SriAurobindo, & Mother took charge of the new 'Ashram' community..

What followed was perhaps the greatest feat of renunciation in history:

6) Moving to Meditation House:

With the Sadhana moving from vital to physical, #SriAurobindo & Mother moved Their residence to Meditation House on Feb 8, 1927; & Darshan Days began from Feb 21.

Despite some resistance, Mother's organizational genius was becoming visible to all:

7) Letters & Actions, Construction of Golconde (1938):

A great deal of correspondence started after #SriAurobindo's seclusion; along with Savitri's revision. Mother also used collective activities to transform Ashram life.

Conditions for Supramental descent were being prepared:

8) The Accident in #SriAurobindo's room, The war:

The Hostiles were looking for a chance to stop the Supramental work, & got a minor success with an injury to #SriAurobindo's leg on 24 Nov. 1938, a few hours before the Darshan..

World situation was simultaneously getting worse:

9) Turning the tide of WW2, Cripps Proposal, Opening of Ashram School:

The modern Kurukshetra needed full attention of #SriAurobindo & Mother, & Their intervention at crucial moments saved humanity's future..

Now with children in the Ashram, a new harmony had to be established:

10) Independence Celebration & Message, Descent of Ananda:

WW2 was won by evolutionary forces, & world conditions led to India's freedom on #SriAurobindo's 75th birth anniversary (with the shadow of Partition & Anti Ashram attacks)

Another key event happened just a year before:

11) #SriAurobindo's Mysterious Withdrawal; Samadhi Construction:

The world wasn't yet ready, & in an act of supreme sacrifice #SriAurobindo left His material body on Dec. 5, 1950 to hasten the arrival of New World.

What the God's labour had accomplished passed on to His Shakti:

12) Continuing the Ashram, #SriAurobindo Memorial Convention, Regular Classes:

A cloud of gloom had settled over the com­munity after Sri Aurobindo's passing, but the Mother with Her radiant smile chased it all away..

Ashram life was being rebuilt with Her as the single center:

13) Educating the Ashramites, Political Requests, Dual Nationality:

The Mother's force took care of all aspects of the Ashram Life --> Physical-Vital-Mental-Psychic-Spiritual..

On request of C. Rajagopalachari, She also helped in merger of French Territories with India in 1954:

14) The Playground records India's destiny & the First Supramental Descent :

The Mother met key Indian personalities during the last months of 1955 & Her occult action prepared India's future..

The Golden descent which was an aim of the Dual Avatar took place on 29th Feb. 1956:

15) Splendid Ashram Life, Collaboration of Nature, Supramental Ship:

Mother kept on working constantly to nurture the new world that was born in 1956, through both Her Outer and Inner activities.

1958 was particularly an year of magnificent realizations:

16) Hostile attacks & Mother's withdrawal, Last Playground classes & Balcony Darshan:

Due to hostile attacks & subconscient labour, Mother decided to stop going out of Ashram ~Dec-1959.
She later retired to her 2nd floor apt. ~Mar-1962..

The ordeal ended with a victorious exp.:

17) Terrace Darshan, Agenda, Cellular & Earthly work, Anti Ashram attacks:

Mother started Darshan from Her 2nd-floor terrace in 1963. She continued Her work of Bodily transformation, which was being documented in the Agenda..

Her Force was visibly influencing key world events:

18) 4.5.67, The creation of Auroville:

The idea of the 'city of dawn', which the Mother had conceptualized many years before, was ceremoniously realized by Her on 28th Feb 1968..

At the age of 90, She had meticulously planned & organized a spiritual space for 50,000 residents!:

19) Superman Consciousness, 1971 War, Matrimandir:

A new consciousness descended on 1 Jan, 1969 to create a diviner race of beings. The Mother's blessings led to the split of Pakistan in 1971.

To create a central soul for Auroville, She initiated the construction of Her temple:

20) #SriAurobindo's Birth Centenary Celebrations, MahaSamadhi:

Though Mother's inner consc. was more & more active, Her health deteriorated b/c of hostile attacks & the surrounding unconsciousness. A shower began before Her Last Terrace Darshan..

She left on 17 Nov. 1973:
(End)

With the above, we conclude the study of Mother & Sri Aurobindo's inner & outer journey in Pondicherry (1920-1973)..

On this day, exactly 69 years ago, #SriAurobindo's body was placed in the Samadhi in Ashram courtyard.
