Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Quelle destinee exceptionnelle que celle de Mirra Alfassa, nee a Paris en 1878! Celle qui devint plus tard la Mere de Pondichery est aujourd’hui reveree par des milliers de gens de par le monde, mais tres peu connue en France. Peintre accomplie, elle vecut parmi les Impressionnistes et frequenta Henri Matisse et Auguste Rodin. Elle devint l’amie d’Alexandra David-Neel, d’Anatole France, d’Ambroise Thomas et de Henryk Sienkiewics. Musicienne de tres bon niveau, elle rencontrera egalement Cesar Franck et Camille Saint-Sa&eumlns. Tres jeune, elle a d’intenses experiences spirituelles et se lance dans l’occultisme sous la tutelle du grand maitre Theon. Et puis en 1914, elle rencontre le philosophe, poete et yogi indien Sri Aurobindo a Pondichery, dans le sud de l’Inde. C’est le grand tournant de sa vie. Elle deviendra sa collaboratrice spirituelle, et fondera l’ashram de Sri Aurobindo, puis plus tard la cite internationale d’Auroville, le reve de l’unite humaine . L’histoire de sa vie illustre non seulement les lumieres du xxe siecle, mais elle represente egalement l’aspiration et la volonte de realisation de l’evolution future de l’humanite. Elle disparaitra en 1973, mais sonoeuvre lui survit. Traduit de l’anglais par Raymond Thepot.
