Surendranath Jauhar's Correspondence with The Mother

28 May 1953

(The disciple asked the Mother about the future of the Sri Aurobindo International University Centre (later renamed Sri Aurobindo International Centre of Education), inaugurated in 1952. In reply she sent the following letter:)

Surendranath,

I am perfectly sure, I am quite confident, there is not the slightest doubt in my mind that this University, which is being established here, will be the greatest seat of knowledge upon earth.

It may take fifty years, it may take a hundred and you may doubt about my being there; I may be there or not, but these children of mine will be there to carry out my work.

And those who collaborate in this divine work today will have the joy and pride of having participated in such an exceptional achievement.

With my blessings

28 May 1953
