Fourth Letter of Bengaluru Study Circle to the TrusteesDear Shri Manoj Dasgupta,It may kindly be recalled that you had once raised with the Mother the question of attack of hostile forces (Georges Vrekhem, Beyond Man (2007), p 315) albeit in a different context. That was long ago in 1955 when you were still a student at the Ashram school. We do compliment you on these concerns voiced precociously at such a young age.

To engage the Trustees, Departmental Heads and senior members of the Ashram in a free and frank dialogue with a view to evolve measures for improved functioning of the Ashram at all levels.4. To hold a wider dialogue among the Representatives of The Ashram, The Society and Auroville since these organisations serve similar spiritual aims and reciprocate each other. Whatever might be their distinctive character, role or identity at the individual level, dont these three institutions together constitute a symbiotic fraternity, each one complementing and enriching the other two?5. To strive towards re-establishing a healthy and harmonious environment in The Ashram. Whether it is the Ashram, the Society or Auroville, each one of these, as we know, was originally intended to function as an egalitarian commonwealth of sadhaks, so to say, with none considered superior or inferior in status. Everyone was considered an equally important and indispensable cog in the wheel. This pristine attitude of equality must be restored, fostered and elevated in keeping with our spiritual aspirations.May we reiterate, Shri. Manoj Dasgupta, that this is a momentous moment for
