The Mother cautioned us in 1971 that ‘We are at one of these “Hours of God”, when the old bases get shaken, and there is a great confusion; but it is a wonderful opportunity for those who want to leap forward, the possibility of progress is exceptional.’ Indeed these are turbulent times or times of transition so to say. Since the Supramental Manifestation in 1956 humanity is being increasingly moulded under the pressure of the New Consciousness. The pressure is increasing in an exponential manner and compelling humanity to change its ways into a diviner way of life. New aspirations are stirring the mind of the race and new hopes stealing through the human night. But the Night has not yet vanished. Like the mythical dragon it lashes its tail before passing away. The old world still resists and the New is yet in its infancy slipping slowly but surely through the unseen gaps in our consciousness. This issue focuses on some lines of change initiated and being carried to their fulfilment by the tapasya of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother.
