PEACOCKS – THE SYMBOL OF VICTORY – ON THE MOTHER’S TERRACE!
Unusually, a pair of peacocks were seen on The Mother’s Terrace!! This amazing photograph was taken by Chandranath Ganguli of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Puducherry on March 24th at 9:41 A.M.
In India the peacock is the symbol of VICTORY – so perhaps these peacocks express a deeper, encouraging truth behind the present difficult circumstances! Peacocks at the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Delhi Branch have been seen standing before Sri Aurobindo’s statue, as photographed by Ashramite Naval Singh Bareth.
These special peacock sightings seem particularly significant, coming at the time of the March and April events celebrated by the worldwide Integral Yoga-Ashram-Auroville family:
March 29th – The Mother’s first meeting with Sri Aurobindo in 1914
April 4th – Sri Aurobindo’s arrival at a safe haven in Pondicherry in 1910
April 24th – The Mother’s definitive arrival in 1920 for her lifelong collaboration with Sri Aurobindo – this is the 100th anniversary of this landmark, about which The Mother said:
“The anniversary of my return to Pondicherry, which was the tangible sign of the sure Victory over the adverse forces.”
More photos of the Delhi peacocks are below. We warmly thank Chandranath-bhai, Naval-bhai, and Tara Jauhar-di for these inspiring shots – and Aurovilians Tine, Harini & Turiya for their very helpful assistance!
OM JAI SRI AUROBINDO – OM JAI MA!
“The two who are one are the secret of all power,
The two who are one are the might and right in things …”
“The Alpha and Omega in one sound:
Then shall the Spirit and Nature be at one.”
