In February of 2002, Roger travelled to the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Pondicherry, carrying the photographs of each of the members of the Integral Yoga Centre. Each member of the Centre wrote a few words of aspiration and gratitude on the back of his or her photograph, sending symbolically a part of themselves, a dedication and a consecration to the spiritual life. These pictures were placed on the samadhi by Roger as an act of collective dedication.
The words of gratitude and aspiration from the members of our small spiritual family represent our oneness-heart, which is growing in the light and guidance of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. What follows are some of the soulful words which our members have sent to our spiritual parents. We hope they inspire you to discover these same flames of love and dedication, as you read on.... 1) "Mother and Sri Aurobindo, I am grateful to have what I need and not what I want.
