Sri Aurobindo is far more than a Maha-guru or a symbol of Indian Independence. He is the 9th Avatar of Vedic tradition.
The Mother explains:
‘What Sri Aurobindo represents in the world’s history is not a teaching, not even a revelation; it is a decisive action, direct from the Supreme… He is an emanation of the Supreme who came on earth to announce the manifestation of a new race and a new world: the Supramental.’
Unfortunately in Auroville and the Ashram, people who call themselves devotees of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother have made a decision to ignore the voluminous and non-speculative proofs of Sri Aurobindo’s Avataric credentials, objective proofs that have been published by the Third member of his Line and accepted and catalogued by the Sri Aurobindo Ashram Archives. For most of his devotees, it is as if the Vedic tradition of the Avatar is meaningless, even though it is sanctified by the Gita in Sri Krishna’s own words, and Sri Aurobindo’s and the Mother’s as well. The fact is that Sri Aurobindo’s Avatarhood is of an extra-ordinary and final importance, as the purpose of his Advent on earth is the transformation of the humanity, the transcendence of the human race.
