Presentation:
"The Mother in Sri Aurobindo's Integral Yoga"

The Divine Mother is of supreme importance in the Integral Yoga. Mirra Alfassa, a French woman who moved to India to collaborate with Sri Aurobindo, worked with Sri Aurobindo to develop this yoga. She was known as "the Mother" and regarded by Sri Aurobindo as a personal incarnation of the Mahashakti.

This presentation, usually given in two parts, is a lively, two-hour slide show that combines music with colorful images, fractals, and digital art. The talk examines different forms the Divine Mother has taken through the ages and discusses what is meant by the Divine Mother as opposed to the Divine. It presents a biographical overview of the Mother's (Mirra Alfassa's) life and yogic achievements, and looks at difficulties some people have in understanding the Mother—in both her universal and personal aspects. Finally, it explains how surrender to the Divine Mother is the key process of Integral Yoga.
