A recent visit to Khajuraho confirmed
the might of ancient Indian art and architecture that blended with philosophy
and religion so robustly in the public sphere. The temple as a metaphor for
physical immortality denotes an invocation as well as inquiry of that
secret formula of forms. The Mother & Sri Aurobindo, however, tell us the
secret lies elsewhere and certainly not in the domain of the gross. Even Japa
is only an efficient aid in the endeavour to “Make earth the home of the
Wonderful and” “Transform the body of the mortal like a sweet and magical
rhyme;” to recall the evocative diction of Rose of God.
(Tip: New visitors to Khajuraho must
visit the Main (Western) Complex first.) [TNM55]
