Questions and Answers by The Mother 1929

Question and Answers 1929

In 1929, on Sundays, the Mother met a small group of disciples at the home of one of them. After a period of meditation she answered any questions raised by the disciples. Portions of fifteen of these weekly talks, which were given in English, were noted down in shorthand by one of those present; the transcript was elaborated by another participant, and finally revised by Sri Aurobindo for publication.

The talks, entitled Conversations of the Mother, were first published for private circulation towards the end of 1931. In 1940 they were made available to the public as the main part of the book Words of the Mother. This was reprinted in 1943, 1946 and 1949. In 1956 the talk were published separately(with a short Foreword by the Mother) as conversations. This book was reprinted in 1961, 1966, 1971 and 1973. In the present volume the talks have been given the name Questions and Answers 1929.
