Chronicles of the Inner Chamber

500.00

Thea was living in Pondicherry, at the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, in the early 1970’s while construction of the Mother’s Temple was beginning, and she kept diaries and letters of her numerous meetings with architects and administrators in her attempt to have the Inner Chamber built according to her exact vision.

These twelve Chronicles are a series of documents written from January 2003 through March 2004 in her role as Convenor of the Matrimandir Action Committee.

There were numerous people throughout the world who saw, along with her, that the Temple which had been constructed in Auroville was not the Mother’s original vision, but what Thea called ‘the shadow temple’.

While the Auroville Temple was being built in cement and steel, Thea built the true and original vision of the Mother’s Temple – step by step in consciousness, documenting her yoga in all her published writings.

Description

 

‘What exactly has been lost of the Sacred Vision in what was constructed in Auroville? The 24-metre diameter does not exist; the 15.20m measure of the Ray does not exist; the 15-step entry from below into the floor of the chamber facing north does not exist; Sri Aurobindo’s symbol in the Shalagrama does not ‘exist’; the translucent Globe does not exist; the stone Pedestal does not exist.

Is there anything then of gnostic significance and value in the structure? And even if only one or two items of the Vision have survived – such as the 12 columns – the fundamental feature proper to all great sacred art is absent: its unity.

In these matters it is all or nothing. Unfortunately, for disciples and devotees of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, they are left with nothing. But the Vision itself lives on; its Knowledge has been revealed and preserved. This is the focus of these Chronicles.’ (Chronicle 9, p 74)
