Savitri: the Light of the Supreme

Personally, I consider Sri Aurobindo an Avatar, and Jung, given his extraordinary influence, a vibhuti. This is of course my own perception. I am forwarding you separately, for posting it in Mirror of Tomorrow, “THE PROBLEM OF THE ‘EVIL PERSONA’ IN SRI AUROBINDO AND IN WESTERN PSYCHOLOGY” by Raimond De Becker, which Kishor Gandhi had published in “Sri Aurobindo Circle, vol. X, 1954, of which he was the editor. By giving me a photocopy of this article, some twenty-five years ago, Kishor Gandhi initiated me to the royal path of the shadow (in Jungian psychology as well as in Integral Yoga), and directly to the evil persona in Integral Yoga. The Mother herself commented at least twice about the evil persona (Sri Aurobindo’s reply because of a text by Jung submitted to him by Kishor Gandhi). The Mother had appointed Kishor as the sole editor of the three volumes of Sri Aurobindo’s “Letters on Yoga” and other texts. In this capacity he must have interacted with Jayantilal (the founder of the Ashram’s Archives), and was most probably aware of details, which we don’t have, regarding Jayantilal meeting Jung. De Becker’s article, which I have already reproduced in “Becoming One – The Psychology of Integral Yoga” is extraordinary, and will help to shed light on the present debate. Paulette
