Indeed, with the number 9 itself – the ultimate Feminine. The round form reveals a key feature of the Age of Supermind that is upon us in that perception is spherical, not linear; above all, it is a vision from the core. 

But that core, that ‘centre that holds’, does not exist in the Auroville Matrimandir. Therefore the entire exercise is laid waste and with it the crores of rupees already invested in the colossus. Surely if the members of the community sought in their Matrimandir a field for their yoga and discovery of human unity, something less costly could have been devised.

         The significance of this loss, this deliberate unwillingness to allow the Mother that sacrosanct inner space has had grave consequences for Auroville. Under the circumstances, any pretensions of being ‘the cradle of the Superman’ have to be seen for what they are: illusions, even arrogant illusions. In the language of sacred geometry such as the Mother has employed, this is easily explained. There must be a harmony, spherical and non-speculative, precise and not approximate, between inner and outer because only then can the dynamics of Supermind be organised for deployment on this third planet from the Sun. Indeed, this is the message contained in our luminary’s very symbol: , the Point in the Circle.
          This harmony has never been achieved or even suggested in any extant example of sacred architecture across the globe. It was to be India’s contribution to the 9
th Manifestation of the Supermind.
