Sri Aurobindo’s 150th Birth Centenary will come on August 15, 2022. In 2021 we begin a year of tribute to honor everything he did for humanity, the earth and the universe. As this year of tribute begins, we look at the beginning of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, which was formed to help and guide the the very first seekers who followed his footsteps on the golden path of consciousness that he brought for all. In Sri Aurobindo’s letters we have his own words describing the consciousness he used to help the early Ashramites, and the work he did together as one with his partner, the Mother of his Ashram. As well, we have Sri Aurobindo’s letters on his teachings about the Yoga Shakti, the evolutionary power which is usually called the Kundalini power. His teachings go far beyond traditional teachings on the subject. Finally we have some beautiful and moving personal experiences of Sri Aurobindo and Mother in those very early days.

Mother and Sri Aurobindo have given very clear information about death and transformation. Part of their work was to bring humanity to the point where death and rebirth were no longer necessary for the universal transformation which goes on all the time and which affects everyone, whether they know about it or not. They spoke about an accelerated transformation which would more quickly bring man to this point. In the first talk we had their answers to the age-old questions; what is death, and what happens when we die.
