Tara's Correspondence with The Mother

An extract from 'New Correspondences of The Mother'


Tara Patel's Correspondence




Born on 9 August 1912, the Gujarati disciple Tara Patel joined the Ashram on 21 November 1929 at the age of seventeen. The Mother called her "Little Star". She worked first in the Dining Room and then in the Mother's Kitchen and the Embroidery Department. She lived in the Ashram for eighty-two years, until her passing on 12 June 2012 at the age of ninety-nine.

Tara's correspondence with the Mother covers the period from 1932 to 1942.


22 September 1932

Tara,

It would be good if the kitchen was cleaned thoroughly once a week or at least once in a fortnight. Will you take the charge of this work? I am sure that A is ready to help you.

You will let me know what day you have chosen for the cleaning.

22 September 1932
