New Year Messages

of the Mother

Matter shall reveal the Spirit's face. — Sri Aurobindo

Editorial Note: The Sri Aurobindo Ashram has a history of
celebrating the New Year in a solemn way. As with many oth-
er things the Mother had the art of converting a collective
convention into something beautiful and sublime. In Her infi-

nite Wisdom She would reshape and remould whatever was
ready to undergo a change and be uplifted and integrated
with the New Creation. One such event is the New Year of

the Western calendar which nevertheless is celebrated ev-
erywhere as a moment of transition and change from the
old to the new. In the Ashram it was ushered by the Mother
with Her organ music and a message was distributed which
was a prophetic indication of the times ahead or the atti-

tude we must take towards the future that was approaching
us. Thus taken the new year convention becomes a means
for hastening our progress. In this issue we bring together

all the New year messages from the early years right upto
1973.
