Editorial note: The Mother has uplifted and transfigured the
commonest of events by Her touch of her Wisdom and Grace.
One such event is birthday. Sri Aurobindo and the Mother have
given it a special significance thereby turning the day when one
is born into a means of a greater birth, the birth of the soul in
the form it inhabits. Though our bodily birth may be the source
of joy to those who are near and dear to us, it is a day when we
are face to face with our divine parents giving us an opportunity
to remind ourselves of the deeper purpose of our existence. This
issue is dedicated to the significance of this day that comes ev-
ery year in our life as a wonderful opportunity to rekindle our
core aspiration and take a leap towards the future.
