The Mother of Sri Aurobindo Ashram

Ganesh is at once the god of wisdom and the remover of obstacles.
Ganesh is the devata of spiritual Knowledge…

– Sri Aurobindo  (Ref: Letters on Yoga – III)

‘He is our friend’.  “… each one must invoke Ganesh according to his own feeling – the traditional way is not necessarily the best” “In 1930 we were having regular meditations in the Prosperity hall, on the significance of flowers. At one of these meditations, quite unexpectedly, Ganesh appeared suddenly to my inner view.

He was of golden light and surrounded by a very luminous golden aura. His form was the usual one as on his images. It was the first time I ever saw him and I expressed some surprise over his sudden appearance. Then he told me, “You see I am a living being quite real and concrete – and to give you a concrete proof of my reality I shall send to you henceforth, all the money you will need. And on this promise he disappeared. He has kept his promise for years and the money was coming abundantly”.

– The Mother (Ref: Letter to Mr. Madanlal Himatsingka 8th November 1962)
