The Mother: The Divine Shakti

Arvinda Ghose, born in Bengal, assimilated the spirit of the West in England; Mirra Alfassa, born in France. Came to live in India. As Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, they incorporated the essence of the global spirit. Together, they created a vision and worked out the foundations of a spiritual revolution that reaches far into the future. They also created the Integral Yoga, a synthesis of the existing yogas meant not for an escape into a Hereafter, but the transformation of the earth.
