"Victory to the Mother"
A Remembrance from Childhood
Vinay
I was studying in the Ashram School and was in the boys' Group 'A4'—the year was probably 1962. Usually in the evenings the Mother came to the school playground after playing at the tennis court.
She would first go to the Interview Room and later take the salute of the students. We used to line up on Her way to the room and say to Her: "Bon Soir Douce Mere! Victoire a la Douce Mere!" [Good afternoon Sweet Mother! Victory to the Sweet Mother!]
She always patted the cheek of every child before entering the room.
And how shall the end he vain when God is guide?
