A talk and satsang at Cultural Integration Fellowship, San Francisco, California on 2/5/2023.
In his book The Mother, Sri Aurobindo describesthe Divine Shakti and its action. The executive power of the universalmanifestation resides in the Divine Shakti, the feminine aspect of ourreality. The Divine Mother takes a number of different forms as Shemanifests all of creation. This shakti moves through everything andeveryone as it acts. Some individuals are more closely identified withthis universal power and principle and their very lives act as an embodiment ofthis force. Sri Aurobindo identified Mira Alfassa as such anindividual. She took up the development of the practical implementationof Sri Aurobindo’s vision and was the guiding and founding force behind the SriAurobindo Ashram, the Sri Aurobindo International Center of Education and theexperimental city project called Auroville. Many people came under herinfluence and had experiences of the shakti first hand as it worked in andthrough them to carry out profound changes in human nature as we prepare forthe next phase of the evolution of consciousness, the supramentalmanifestation. The life and work of the Mother of the Sri AurobindoAshram is fascinating and wonderful to reflect upon.

A talk and satsang at Cultural Integration Fellowship, San Francisco, California on February 23, 2025
discussing resistance to the newconsciousness, the pressures exerted by adverse forces attempting to disrupt ordelay the supramental evolutionary process, and the role even they play inbreaking down resistance, old habits and ways of thinking and acting that arecontrary to the new consciousness that is manifesting.
Signs of the manifestation ofthe new consciousness and the Mother’s explicit challenge to each one tocontribute to and support this manifestation with sincerity, andwhole-heartedly.
