Pondicherry is the chosen place for the Divine Mother for Her Divine work. After Her first visit in 1914, Mirra Alfassa returned to Pondicherry in 1920 on April 24, to permanently stay and work on Sri Aurobindo’s supreme purpose of human evolution, as the Mother of Sri Aurobindo Ashram.

The following is a conversation the Mother had with the sadhaks where she talks about her final return to Pondicherry.      

But this was merely the beginning of my vision. Only after a series of experiences – a ten months’ sojourn in Pondicherry, five years of separation, then the return to Pondicherry and the meeting in the same house and in the same way – did the end of the vision occur…. I was standing just beside him. My head wasn’t exactly on his shoulder, but where his shoulder was (I don’t know how to explain it – physically there was hardly any contact). We were standing side by side like that, gazing out through the open window, and then together, at exactly the same moment, we felt, ‘Now the Realization will be accomplished.’ That the seal was set and the Realization would be accomplished. I felt the Thing descending massively within me, with the same certainty I had felt in my vision. From that moment on there was nothing to say – no words, nothing. We knew it was that.
