Matrimandir: An universal temple of unity

Mother has foreseen global structure

And given the details of its architecture

To an architect about three decades ago

For transformation of humanity to divinity

A marvelous monument of divine force

Look like God’s gift for human race

To transform and translate the divinity

And a centre for concentration and meditation

Mother has viewed its final formation

With a perfect vision of its dimensions

It is a tool of Mother for acceleration,

For an accurate human transformation

It is an advent of new consciousness,

And it has fascinated many many people,

Which is a symbol of universal Mother,

Something higher to be the divine answer.

As we enter into Matrimandir,

A feeling of silent force engulfing the inner,

And never felt any difficulty in climbing the stairs,

Reaching the meditation chamber in calm mental plain,

As I enter the milky white meditation chamber

With an aura of ultra terrestrial atmosphere

I felt serene with weightless body and soul;

And sat for meditation in front of crystal globe.

The crystal globe sparkling with sun rays,

Falling from the top of the chamber,

Reflecting strange light to every corner,

For a perfect medication atmosphere.

It is a place for the advent of new consciousness,

A symbol of the Mother’s evolutionary wish,

Contact with something higher in one self,

A divine answer to man’s spiritual perfection.

(Dr Babu Rao, a retired doctor who visited the Ashram and Matrimandir for the first time)

“Will the Force more specially be concentrated in Matrimandir?” the Chief Architect asked, and the Mother answered; “The new Force works everywhere, especially in this room. You feel it, don't you?... There is here a density capable of performing miracles, but few are able to feel it, to perceive it. Sri Aurobindo and I have concentrated this Force on the whole town; it is palpable, perceptible as a very concrete perfume which penetrates but one must be able to feel it, to receive it.”
