- Your site is looking better and better - it's especially wonderful to see material from the Mother's Conversations (1930-31). [...] Now thanks to you they (and so much other material from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother) are up for all to benefit from. You are doing really excellent work in the service of the Divine; in the ocean of mediocre web sites on all sorts of trivial material, your coverage of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother is a true pearl of light.

Love and High regards (M.K. / USA)
- The life is a vast flow from immense source. time is a minute for It. I am now in feign of Satprem Who really receives the clues from Mother for the new species. It is apparent for all.

Again thanks for all your efforts. (B.F. / USA)
- Once again thank you very much for sharing the photos for Darshan with all of us.

We do understand the English words and their translation etc mentally. I am sure you can understand what I mean. (R.G./USA)

- I was very nice surprised, visiting your rich of information Web site. Thanks a lot for your care to keep us oriented in the sea of sites on the Net! It's great that there are so many resources on the Net, cause in Bulgaria still I don't know any people who are on the same Sunlit Path, even there aren't any translated books, only one, written by Satprem. Thanks again for all of yours efforts and go on ahead with the same devotion, as possible!! (T. / Bulgaria)

[...]. Since being on the Internet I have been able to 'visit' the ashram in Pondy and Auroville, with Bernard and now this forum. These virtual visits are wonderful and I feel inspired by them.

- Thank you for posting this text ( = "The Inconscient"). It seems to me to be the true reply to those who question the place for a new psychology in the stream of Sri Aurobindo's Yoga. It is also exceptionally interesting in and of itself, considering it's date of origin [1915!], and how prophetic it is both about physical science, and the developments of psychology over the years. And finally, it seems to give some good indications of what our task is and ought to be. (W.M. / USA)
- The Mother's presence and Sri Aurobindo's presence transcends the physical boundaries of countries so I am not surprised at all when I see that a Frenchman is maintaining the website. I am happy to note that there a lot of Europeans who are interested in the integral yoga of Sri Aurobindo. (B.R. / Kenya)
- The tabulation of the differences between the actual and broadcast messages, has made the understanding of the actual message easier. Thanks and kind regards. (S. / Botswana)
- Wonderful indeed, Bernard! I am 'startled' at the way you exactly land up in the apt sayings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother! (S. / Botswana)
- Wonderful Bernard! Thank you very much! Yes the baby's name is Indra (born on 9-9-99, see "Birthday-messages for sadhak")[...] It seems like an interesting coincidence, but then again Sri Aurobindo has stated that "there are no coincidences", so it is up to us to find the inner significance. Thanks for sharing and typing in the messages. (B.I. / USA)
- Thanks for the pointers. [...] Your [...] sharing them with us is indeed an act of grace for me. (S.P. / Poona, India)
- Your efforts are Divine, Thanks! (B-A. N / Santa Monica , USA)
- Félicitations pour ton beau site. Fraternellement. (C.D. / Canada)
- Thanks for posting both messages ( = "Message for the Fifteenth August 1947, a Comparison"). I was very interesting see what Sir Aurobindo originally intended to say and it gave me more insight to the Vision of Master for the future of India. August 15 has a sweet significance for me. [...] Thank you once again for your love and efforts (A. / USA)

- I would like to tell you how beautiful the montages are, and how much I, for one, appreciate all your work. Thank you for keeping the high road of surrender and sincerity. May your Darshan this year be a very special one with great inspiration. With highest regards, (M.K./ Baton Rouge, USA)

- Successfully downloaded the wonderful picture of Mother and the Blessing message you sent. Thanks a million. (D.N.)
- Mother's blessings! on you too of course! I've already got the montage but it's still nice visiting the page - it sort of brings Her right into the room with that smile. (M.C.)
- Lovely, as art, and as bhakti. Many thanks (W.M.)
- I love your new web site. It is a wonderful and powerful idea to improve the presence of Sri Aurobindo and Mother on the Internet. Like a real WWW they will connect all kind of people all around the world. (L. B.)
- I enjoyed seing your prayer montage and the mother smiling at me... I wondered however if you knew that Mother (somewhere had mentioned) that she should be placed on the right side of Sri Aurobindo, so as to leave her right hand free as its the hand of the Shakti. C'est tout. Thanks anyway. (R.)
[My comment 1: Yes, I know. But if you read the Story you will see that the montage has been made under guidance. I don't feel like having the right to modify it. The other montages follow the 'rule'.]
[My comment 2: Devotees have now (on June 28, 1999) a special montage in JPG or GIF which correspond to the tradition of placing The Mother on the right of Sri Aurobindo, that is to say on the left of the images] - Thank you Bernard, you do provide so much light to the devotees of Mother and Sri Aurobindo. I have put your sight on my Favourites list. Much love and appreciation. (D.J.)
- I admire your persistance in getting this beautiful picture correct in every sense. Congratulations. (M.K.)

- By the way: I really like your work on your website. It is a wonderfull job. Just a little idea: why not put some little thumbnails on you first page. So people can see what the collage looks like and then decide if the want to view the big picture (for slow computers it may take a lot of time to load the collage) (L.B.)
- I really love your site and all the work you put into it. I'm wondering how you could have a job and still devote the very extensive time to do all that work that you do for the collective, and am grateful that you are able to do this. (A.S.)
Emails on the Charts
- My humble thanks to you for a beautiful and inspiring website. I just looked at Sri Aurobindo's astrological chart and read his comments on fate. The way you present things and the colors, it is so beautiful and effective and easy to read. And your links are quite helpful. (J.C.)
- Superb presentation of all relevant statements of Sri Aurobindo on Astrology! A sage presentation indeed, befitting your name! (S.)
- It was wonderful to see the charts and the words of Sri Aurobindo on astrology. [...] The chart as a whole contains two amazing grand trines, one in earth signs and one in fire. This is extremely rare! It is almost an almost graphic illustration of the program of the integral yoga, the union of Matter and Spirit.
You have selected portions of his writings with which I agree, when it comes to astrology. He had a most remarkably temperate and balanced attitude on the subject. [...]
You also quote a statement I do not believe I have seen before, to the effect that astrology is more effective at delineating character than at predicting events. Precisely! This is something that has been driven home to me with renewed force recently, and I am delighted to see that Sri Aurobindo was able to formulate the thought well before it came to me through hard experience. There would be a great deal more to be said about that, perhaps in an astrology textbook!
With much appreciation for your fine contribution (H.H.) - Merci pour les thèmes astrologiques de Mère et Sri Aurobindo (I.B.)
