The Mother herself has spoken about it as follows.
‘4. 5. 67 is considered to be a very important date when something exceptional is expected to happen. Will You please say if it is the supramental Ananda that will manifest on that date?
The anniversary of the first Supramental descent comes every four years (the leap year). I do not see what the number 7 has to do in the matter. This year 1964 (leap year) was the second anniversary of the first descent. The next one will take place on the 29th February 1968—and it will be exactly 12 years after the first descent and we shall see then what happens.

Message for 4.5.67
“Earth-life is the self-chosen habitation of a great Divinity and his aeonic will is to change it from a blind prison into his splendid mansion and high heaven-reaching temple.”
Sri Aurobindo
The Divinity mentioned by Sri Aurobindo is not a person but a condition that will be shared by all those who have prepared themselves to receive it.
May 1967

May I know if the miraculous elevation of Jesus Christ to heaven celebrated by the Roman Catholics on Thursday, 4th May has any sort of connection with the great day 4. 5. 67? Or would it be simply a pure coincidence?
For Sri Aurobindo “coincidences” do not exist. All that happens is the result of the action of the Divine Consciousness. The Force which is at work at this moment is a Force of harmony that makes for unity—the unification of all the symbols that express the Divine Truth.
5 May 1967
“In 1967 the Supermind will enter the phase of realising power.” What does “realising power” actually mean?
Acting decisively on the mind of men and the course of events.
What is the effect of the realising power on the Mother’s own physical being and then the effect upon others and the world in general (including the outstanding problems of the world today)?
We can wait with a little patience and we shall see.
Does this date (4. 5. 67) mark the beginning of what the Mother and Sri Aurobindo have called the new race—the race of superman?
Since a few months the children born, amongst our people mostly, are of a very special kind.’As we can see that the date has a subordinate significance. It was mainly the year 1967 whence the Supramental Consciousness became more and more active and new children started coming more often. The Mother did give a medal and a message (as above) on the day as if in preparation for the third anniversary of the Supramental Manifestation as a reminder that things were getting hastened and one must keep up with the pace with which the Supramental Force was working. As we can see in the message it clearly indicates towards a collective earthly realisation, a push towards creating inner and outer conditions for the realisation of the supramental creation upon earth and an invitation to those who are ready to prepare themselves for it.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
