The Matrimandir. Each of those plates is made of gold (or plated in gold anyway). This mysterious temple was the vision of “The Mother”, partner of Sri Aurobindo, a famous and revered Indian philosopher who formed the Aurobindo ashram. This item, the Matrimandir was the idea of The Mother as was Auroville, a large experimental town sprawling over many acres and active in promoting sustainable ways of living and spiritual pursuits….open to all of mankind. Has some pros and cons.
I have never been inside but friends have been…said it was powerful but strange.
Pondicherry, 2008
