This book is a collection of articles, messages, letters, and conversations of the Mother that touches on subjects like an educational discipline aimed at developing all the principal faculties of the individual, the various aspects of the teaching method known as the free progress system followed at the Sri Aurobindo International Centre of Education, and the fundamentals of physical education, including the disciplines and attitudes helpful to developing a strong, healthy, and conscious body. Also included are three dramas written for the annual dramatic performance day.
This volume contains the prayers and meditations selected for publication by the Mother from her diaries of 1912 to 1919, and five prayers of a later period.Sri Aurobindo thought so highly of these prayers of the Mother that many of them he translated into English from French, and revised the translation of a numberof others himself.
The passages of this compilation have been selected from the Collected Works of The Mother. Almost all the passages have been taken from her conversations, a few from her writings. Details about the texts are given at the end of the book, as well as a glossary and a brief sketch of The Mother's life.
