The Mother’s Symbol
The central circle represents the Supreme Mother, the Maha-
shakti.
The four central petals are the four aspects of the Mother
— and the twelve petals, Her twelve attributes.
*
It is the symbolic design of the white Lotus of Supreme Conscious-
ness, with the Mahashakti (the form of the Mother as universal
creation) at the centre in her four aspects and twelve attributes.
*
The central circle represents the Divine Consciousness.
The four petals represent the four powers of the Mother.
The twelve petals represent the twelve powers of the Mother
manifested for Her work.
(CWM 13: 63-64) The Mother
15th April 1934:
Essentially (in general principle) the twelve powers are the vibra-
tions that are necessary for the complete manifestation. These
are the twelve seen from the beginning above the Mother’s head.
Thus there are really twelve rays of the sun not seven, twelve plan-
ets, etc.
(CWSA 32: 598) Sri Aurobindo
