Dear Harsha,

Some 30 years ago I read pretty well all his books.
I remember the day we received a large box from Pondicherry, India, filled
with them, and so cheap (why was that important?). I even hard covered all
the books myself in a deep blue shiny fabric (his colour). I was working
midnight shift in a factory, where I had to look after an automated heat
treatment machine, room was often 90 F hot, had to shovel metal parts in
every ten minutes, in between I read Aurobindo. Even waded through his
Savitri. Every sentence a universe of its own. They are doing a new edition,
closer to his later corrections.
I could not 'get into' the Mother's approach, still have some difficulty
with her. I have a feeling that Aurobindo had some difficulty with her as
well...
My son was in Auroville for half a year last year, he loved it. My wife was
there as well for about a month about a month ago. She had quickly seen
enough... too much 'Mother'... not nough authenticity... The Matrimandir
(temple) she found very beautiful, my son did not care about that.

Love, Wim
