AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Why aren’t there any Audio Recordings of Sri Aurobindo’s voice? Is there a reason? Did He deliberately leave it up to our imagination?Β Or did He not want us to be distracted by His British accent? It would have been so wonderful to hear Him speak. πŸŽ™οΈπŸ”‰πŸ₯²πŸ™πŸ»πŸŒ»βœ¨

That is a question that all of us have. In fact, he refused photographs also between 1920 and 1950. The last Darshan day photograph was at the Mother’s special request.Β 

But there is a real story of an American who clandestinely tried to record Sri Aurobindo’s voice, but the whole tape came blank. So yes, such is the Lord’s Will, though one can hear him by his Grace if he so wills.Β 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
