Star, Square and Lotus – What does Sri Aurobindo Symbol Say? | Dr. Beloo Mehra |

About the Talk:
The talk delves into exploring the various symbolic and spiritual dimensions of the Aurobindo Symbol. It begins with the history and significance of the Six Pointed Star, its presence on the ancient Somnath temple doors. The discussion extends to the global occurrence of the Hexagram across cultures and its spiritual implications, including its association with the Anahad Chakra and Kartikeya and the creation. Dr. Beloo draws from the work of Amal Kiran about the significance and numerological interpretations of numbers six and twelve in the lives and works of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. The talk progresses to discuss the Overmind Plane of Consciousness and Sri Aurobindo's role in bringing down the Supramental Consciousness. The Vedic cosmological perspective is expanded through concepts of the Seven Lokas and their spiritual dimensions. Further insights are provided into The Mother's profound understanding and designing of the aurobindo symbol with focus on the Star, Square, and Triangle. The discussion concludes with reflections on Sri Aurobindo's symbol, the descending triangle signifying Sat-Chit-Ananda, representing existence, consciousness, and bliss, the ascending triangle symbolizing the aspiration of matter towards life, light, and love. Their union in the central square embodies perfect manifestation, with the lotus at its core as the Avatar of the Supreme. Within the square, water symbolizes multiplicity and creation. Overall, the talk offers a deep exploration of spiritual symbolism, numerology, and metaphysics as understood through the teachings and symbols cherished by Sri Aurobindo and The Mother.
