          These are occult relationships, subtle forms that exist in the eternal plane of the Truth-Consciousness. To manifest here, to infuse material creation with their power and light – and none will dispute that this is the heart and soul of Sri Aurobindo’s mission – we must respect the laws that make this possible, that allow for the Bridge to come into being between subtle and material. There is no approximation possible; either the 24m diameter exists, or it does not. Since we know that the Auroville Matrimandir chamber does NOT have a diameter of 24m, we also know that no matter how perfect the Shalagrama outer shape may be, and no matter how carefully it has been designed on the basis of the relevant geometry, Sri Aurobindo’s symbol cannot manifest in that form, with all that this implies. 

          The Mother’s Vision provides future generations with the history of the Supramental Manifestation. We will go deeper into these revelations in these Chronicles since for the first time in many thousands of years sacred architecture has been infused with the light of Mahasaraswati to a degree never before witnessed, not even in the best of Hindu temples. The signal that the time had come for this marvellous happening was the Supramental Manifestation of 29 February 1956. The Mother then entered a ‘new mode’, as it were. A review of her experiences and activities from that time onward reveal what this new role has been.
          Through this special sacred architecture, based on the Mother’s Vision and her original plan, we SEE Sri Aurobindo in his transcendent form as the upholding and supporting power of the temple. In Savitri it would be Ashwapathy. We know that it is transcendence because it is not PHYSICALLY but SUBTLY present in the structure, yet all embracing, all encompassing, - and indispensable. Transcendent yes, but not oblivious or disregardful of the demanding laws of material creation where He is made manifest. And this very fact confirms the knowledge of the Supramental Manifestation that the Mother captured in her plan, in conjunction with her new role and the experiences she was having after 1956. Without this understanding we cannot appreciate the manner in which Sri Aurobindo serves to INTEGRATE inner and outer; how it is through him that this is achieved as a fundamental part of the Supramental Manifestation.
          The next Chronicle will carry the reader deeper into this great Mystery, that of Transcendence and Immanence, - or, in the language of the epic, Ashwapathy and Satyavan.
