Of friendship. Was I dreaming? There were no stains and no shadows to mar The joy in the heart, the deep

Contentment Shared by all.

Kumar”

*“A sudden awakening”, poem by Manikandan:

“Entering into a joyful world, The same eyes of ages Look at everything from a different view. ‘Why’ arises, deep in the heart. A smile, a glance, a touch, All simple day-to-day actions, Mean something especially special, Something that can’t be limited by words. Oh, maybe it is discovered, Hidden both in one and in all, A wider, deeper, higher understanding That opens a door to be.

Manikandan”

Note: During that same period – the hot spring of 2003 – Kovalan helped me to create and offer a small book, dedicated to the Matrimandir Gardens. Kovalan had become, as for cricket games which earned him many trophies, a sort of computer champion; he sat with me at the computer every afternoon in Walter’s planning office at Matrimandir for a bout six weeks, and followed my directions and turned them into actual layout, made of all the recorded texts from the Mother, scanned drawings, scanned pictures of Japanese gardens referred to by Her, scanned photographs of flowers with their names given by Her, scanned messages in Her hand. The purpose of this offering was to introduce everyone interested to the spirit of the place as the Mother had seen it, rather than dwelling on interpretations and commentaries. The materials presented would speak for themselves.

We titled this booklet, of 108 pages, “ On the Matrimandir Peace area – 2003 – An Offering”, by Divakar and Kovalan.

The result was a document that could be telecharged on anyone’s computer, with a simple and clever automatic selector devised by Kovalan, or printed in hard copies on request.
