The Mother’s occult war and World War II interpretations

Record summary

During World War II, the Mother and Sri Aurobindo interpreted world events through a spiritualized account of forces of consciousness, frequently presenting the Allied cause as preferable to fascism and connecting political events with an occult struggle. Ashram talks, letters, and later compilations preserve this distinctive attempt to relate geopolitics to supraphysical agency. The material matters for comparison with wartime occultism and prophetic interpretation. Researchers should separate dated statements from later recollections and avoid treating spiritual causation as a historical explanation of military events.
