A Question to Aurobindonians.

1. OPEN LETTER TO THE AUROBINDONIAN COMMUNITY
By Harish Kumar
Sri Aurobindo dedicated his life to bringing about the manifestation of the truth-conscious
Supermind on this planet, so that it would become the governing principle of life on Earth. His
Integral Yoga was aimed at the establishment of a Divine Life and the divinisation of matter by
dethroning Mind and making Supermind the primary instrument of the new creation.
Patrizia Norelli-Bachelet (known as Thea to her students) has in her works given a complete
exposition of the descent and action of Supermind in this world. She has given the keys (by way of
number-power, zodiacal tradition and the sacred sciences) to understand the action of Supermind
and how one can consciously participate in the evolution (supramentalisation) of humankind and the
establishment of a gnostic society. By unveiling the secrets of the ancient zodiac, she has objectively
established the fact that India is the Guru amongst nations, whereas others make this claim merely
out of nationalistic fervour and by way of repeating the old formulas.
Thea's cosmology has proven empirically that Sri Aurobindo is Vishnu's 9th Avatar according to
rigorous Vedic prescriptions, she has proven that Sri Aurobindo's most conclusive victory was the
process of his death and return, what exactly that means in the Supramental Manifestation, and why
it was necessary. She has presented the Formula he cemented in his own symbol and shown how it
has worked meticulously in India particularly through two Lines, Solar and Lunar, and how the entire
development of the new independent India has taken place according to His Formula.
Yet, we neither see an enthusiastic acceptance nor an informed criticism of her works. Why exactly
are her prescriptions wrong? What exactly is the mechanism of the operations of Supermind, if not
the one explained by Thea? We do not hear anything on these lines. Instead all we hear is mindless
accusations levelled against her, ad hominem attacks, false charges and accusations of self-
glorification from self-styled spokespersons of the community.
Scientific progress happens through a process of developing a hypothesis and testing it against
observable phenomenon. If the observed phenomenon does not correspond to the hypothesis, it is
discarded and a new one is propounded which explains the reality around us.
Occultism, as the Mother opined, is also a science since it is reproducible. Occult experiments have a
universal validity and can be tested. Nobody accused Einstein of self-glorification when he proposed
The Theory of Relativity to explain the orbital eccentricity of Mercury. Rather it was tested against
observable data and on this strength it was accepted or rejected. Those who put their faith in
Newtonian Mechanics and disagreed with Einstein gave valid reasons for doing so and did not spend
their time making ad hominem attacks against Einstein.
If Patrizia Norelli-Bachelet is wrong, what exactly is the view and tested hypothesis of the
Aurobindonian Community regarding the mechanism of the Supramental Descent and its
establishment as the governing principle on this planet? What exactly is the mechanism and its time-

2. frame, if any, for its descent and demonstrable action? What is their opinion on the Return of Sri
Aurobindo and the role he would play in the creation of a gnostic society? If he would be the
prototype of the Gnostic Being, would the descent of Supermind be initiated by his return and if so,
how and when would this take place?
Sri Aurobindo stated that India is conscious of her mission in the world and is waiting for the exterior
means of its manifestation. What is the Aurobindonian Community doing to facilitate those
means? In what way has its failure to rise to this momentous occasion negatively affected
conditions in India and delayed its promised renaissance?
Can I have the answers to these questions?
