Which key aspects of their work should we emphasize, and what activities or discussions would best foster genuine, accessible engagement along the way?
While your initiatives are deeply appreciable, I am not sure if the time to do so is right and more so, if Europe is ready to receive Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. Sri Aurobindo foresaw the destruction of Europe. Perhaps for this very reason the urgency is there.
One way is to organise programs in the places that The Mother visited in Europe, find the disciples and then have some programs tracing the places of Her journey from Paris to Pondicherry.
Another option is to have a main program in Paris, with a few others in Italy, Greece, Germany and Pondicherry.
The minimum that can be done is to have some poster exhibition and a compilation on Europe from Sri Aurobindo and The Mother’s writings.
If one speaks of books, then the most relevant books for this purpose would be the last few chapters of The Human Cycle, The Synthesis of Yoga, The Life Divine and appropriate selections from Letters on Yoga. The Mother’s conversations in French, especially Volumes 1, 2, 3 and 8, 9, 12, 13, would be wonderful.
Education is another field of interest. It may be very helpful to introduce Their writings on Education by approaching Schools.
The possibilities are many, provided there is a base to hold it.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
