AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Why do we see Leapord, tiger busts in Ma / Sri Aurobindo’s rooms – akin to what hunters keep as their priced killings? Have Ma and Sri Aurobindo themselves said something about this🐅?

The outer reason is that it was gifted to them by a devotee who was probably inspired by the image of Shiva wearing a tiger skin and some Yogis using the tiger skin to sit and meditate or the animal itself as a vehicle. Of course Sri Aurobindo never used it but as a symbol of his yogic stature it was gifted to him. 

Incidentally the Puma or mountain lion, a close kin of leopard and tiger was Sri Aurobindo’s favourite animal if we may say so.

Finally there could be a possibility of some kind of occult working on the feline species which the Mother did speak of. 

Of course they have not spoken anything about it directly. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

One can fully understand the space from which this question comes.
