Interview with Nirata - Part 2 | Hosted by Narad
from Sri Aurobindo Ashram - The Early Years · host Narad Trust
In this deeply moving conclusion to her interview, Nirata shares "jewel-like" memories of her intimate interactions with the Mother, revealing the intense compassion and practical wisdom that defined life in the early Ashram.She recounts personal stories of moving from a sense of distance to receiving the "intimate touch" of the Mother—from the special distribution of saris to the Mother’s promise to protect her "little Captain". Nirata also delves into the challenges of discipline and the "Free Progress" system of education, offering a timeless perspective on how to teach and live with a focused inner awakening.Highlights of this conversation include:• The Healing Power of Love: how the Mother cured physical pain and "tormenting" thoughts through her sheer physical presence and embrace.• A Lesson in Progress: The story behind the famous phrase, "Pain is always for Progress," given during a simple request for a flower.• The Mother’s Humility: A heartbreaking account of the Mother’s tears for those who could not yet respond to her love.• Sacred Craftsmanship: Nirata’s work preserving the Mother’s worn-out charan (sandals) and signatures as "treasures" for future generations.• Concentric Circles: A profound analogy shared by "Dada" (Pranab Kumar Bhattacharya) about our varying distances from the Divine Center.Join us for an episode that balances historical anecdotes with profound spiritual encouragement for those still seeking their "inner lighthouse".#SriAurobindoAshram #TheMother #TheEarlyYears #Nirata #IntegralYoga #PondicherryHistory #FreeProgress #AshramSchool #SpiritualEducation #TeachersLife #MotherCharan #SavitriCalligraphy #SacredRelics
