December 5, 1950 is a momentous occurrence in the timeline of Supramental Yoga. Amal Kiran elucidates its deeper significance and the consequence in this four-part essay.

Were there any signs of the coming of Sri Aurobindo’s passing which as per the author can be seen as a culmination of a momentous deliberate fight whose implications can be read only by understanding a little of what the supramental light means?

The author writes: “A splendid heroism of selflessness is here, the vividest picture of a warrior Yogi who would take any risk, if thereby he could press closer to his objective and though the formula is “I conquer or perish” the frame of mind is one that might easily avail itself of a yet more audacious formula: “I perish to conquer.””

Amal Kiran writes: “In a most special sense, Sri Aurobindo the marvellously gifted and gracious person who was our Guru and whom we loved is still at work and a concrete truth is expressed by the Mother when she says: “To grieve is an insult to Sri Aurobindo who is here with us, conscious and alive.””
