Udar’s immense enthusiasm and commitment to the Mother’s work

From: "SABDA eNews" mail@sabda.in Subject: Udar and Champaklal Date: Sat, 7 Feb 2009 16:53:12 +0530

Two of the new books introduced in this issue offer the reader quite special experiences. Udar, an evocation in photographs, stories, and remembrances of the life of the disciple who was formerly known as Laurence Pinto, provides a veritable history of Ashram activities from the late 1930s to the 1990s in which Udar played a significant role. Champaklal’s Treasures, a collection of letters, notes, and messages written by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother and some early conversations of Sri Aurobindo, reveals an intimate portrait of how they gave shape and form to their sublime vision in so many different aspects of life.

Two young men of completely different background and education, Udar and Champaklal found themselves drawn to Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, each through his own nature. Champaklal, when just a young man of twenty, came from his village in Gujarat to stay in the Ashram in 1923. He once said that “I came here with the object of God-realisation. But here, I found the stress on transformation. Very soon, however, both receded and service took hold of my being entirely.”

And it is as the faithful attendant, first to Sri Aurobindo and later to the Mother, that Champaklal was best known. The writings presented in Champaklal’s Treasures, whether just a few sentences or a long letter to a disciple, offer us unexpected insights into the life that was concentrated around Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. Thus we have this note of the Mother’s dated 25 February 1952 that reads

“Who are you?” says the adverse force. “I am the impartial and truthful Mirror in which everyone finds his own real image.”

Later in the book is a long section containing correspondence with early disciples that includes several letters from Sri Aurobindo to his brother Barindra Kumar Ghose. The following is an extract from a letter written in 1920 and translated from the original Bengali:

Let me tell you in brief one or two things about what I have long seen. My idea is that the chief cause of the weakness of India is not subjection, nor poverty, nor the lack of spirituality, nor dharma but the decline of thought-power, the growth of ignorance in the Motherland of knowledge. Everywhere I see inability or unwillingness to think—thought incapacity or thought-phobia.…Whoever thinks most, seeks most, labours most can fathom and learn the truth of the world, gets so much more Shakti.

One finds such interesting passages on almost every page of this book. Champaklal must have kept these different papers with him over the course of many years, and his careful and precise attitude in this helps us to understand why the Mother came to rely on him to such an extent that she once commented, “Champaklal is my memory!”

While Champaklal’s mantra was service, Udar’s might well have been action. With the sound technical knowledge of a trained aeronautical engineer and a head for organisation, Udar became one of the pillars of the Ashram, called upon by the Mother to take up many new or complicated projects. The pages of the book Udar are filled with more than 400 photographs and numerous remembrances that clearly exhibit Udar’s immense enthusiasm and commitment to the Mother’s work.

His involvement with the Department of Physical Education is just one example. It was his idea to get the first batch of gymnastic apparatus from England. Then he manufactured additional equipment here itself in the Harpagon workshop. He founded the Department’s office, organised the filing and record keeping systems, made the competition schedules, acted as timekeeper and umpire, announced the results, and was himself captain of the Blue Group. He helped to prepare both the Tennis Ground and the Sports Ground, laying down the cinder running tracks, long jump and high jump runs, shot put and hammer rings, etc. according to international standards.

Even reading poetry was a field of action for Udar. The Mother had told him that the whole of Savitri is a mantra for the transformation of the world and that he should make Savitri his life. He began to learn the entire poem by heart and later on, in the 1980s, started to recite and read from Savitri every day during regular sessions attended by many friends and visitors. It is typical that he delved deep into this work with his full energy, as he had done so often when the Mother called upon his faithfulness and ability.

Educated and trained as an aeronautical engineer, his talents and skills were used by the Mother in the creation of Harpagon Workshop and the construction of Golconde, the organisation of the Physical Education Department, and the development of the Handmade Paper Unit, the Laboratoires Senteurs, Coco Garden Concrete Works, and Honesty Engineers and Contractors. The photographs and memories recorded here give vivid testimony to Udar’s dynamic presence in the daily life of the Ashram over a span of many years.

Su Il Cibo — Parole dagli scritti di Mère e Sri Aurobindo ISBN: 978-81-7058-905-1 Publisher: Domani, Pondicherry Binding: Soft Cover Pages: 43 Price: Rs 75
"Il cibo è fatto per sostentare il corpo e a questo fine si deve prenderne quanto serve. Mangiare troppo appesantisce il corpo e lo vincola alla materia; mangiare troppo poco lo indebolisce e rende nervoso; bisogna trovare il giusto equilibrio fra bisogni del corpo e quantità di cibo. L’attaccamento al cibo, la golosità e l’avidità, che fanno del cibo una cosa così esageratamente importante nella vita, sono contrari allo spirito dello yoga. Infatti con il cibo assorbiamo ogni giorno e di continuo un’ enorme quantità d’ incoscienza, di pesantezza e stupidità.Il grande interesse che la quasi totalità degli esseri umani, anche i più intellettuali, ha per il cibo, per la sua preparazione e il suo ingerimento, deve far posto a una conoscenza quasi chimica dei bisogni del corpo e a un’ austerità scientifica nel soddisfarli.Quando l’animalità scomparirà, cadrà anche l’assoluta necessità di cibo e ci sarà probabilmente una transizione in cui si avrà sempre meno bisogno di cibo materiale."
