Questions and Answers 1950-51
The Mother's talks: it is worth noting how they originated.
The Ashram school was founded in 1943 and by 1950 the first students
had learned French fairly well. By this time many more children had
come and there were not enough teachers of French. So, when the school
year commenced in December 1950, the Mother decided to take the highest
class in French three times a week. This was the beginning of these
gatherings, which came to be called "Mother's classes". The Mother
usually began by reading a passage from her own writings or from the
French translations of Sri Aurobindo's works; then she invited questions
from the students and some of their teachers who also attended. Gradually,
many other sadhaks of the Ashram joined the classes and asked questions.
Therefore, the questions here are of various kinds and from many different
levels of understanding.
Between June 1951 and March 1953 there were no "Questions
and Answers", but what have been called the "Translation Classes"
in which Mother translated into French certain works of Sri Aurobindo,
including The Ideal of Human Unity, The Human Cycle, the last six
chapters of The Life Divine and a portion of The Synthesis of Yoga.
However, during this period Mother continued to have talks with the
children, but they were not consistently recorded.

Questions and Answers 1953
Mother used to be present in the evenings at the playground
of the Ashram during the training of the captains of the Department
of Physical Education. While she watched their exercises, some children
came and sat by her side; they were a new generation, much younger
than the one present during the previous talks in 1950-51. They began
to put questions to her. As their numbers increased Mother met them
at a class on every Wednesday. Later, teachers and disciples joined
the children, and when the classroom became too crowded, the meetings
were held in the open playground. In this way what have been called
the "Wednesday Classes" began in March 1953 and continued till November
1958.

During the years 1961 to 1973 the Mother had frequent

were in French, l'Agenda. Selected transcripts of the tape-recorded
conversations were seen, approved and occasionally revised by the
Mother for publication in the Bulletin of Sri Aurobindo International
Centre of Education; they appeared regularly from February 1965 to
