We take a moment today to fondly remember and offer our gratitude to Jyotipriya, founder of East-West Cultural Center, on the occasion of her 124th birth anniversary. The Mother and Sri Aurobindo, her spiritual Gurus, in whom she had taken refuge, gave her the name “Lover of Light” (Jyotipriya).
Her life was a luminous example of Mother’s maxim: “Our life ought to be governed by the love for Truth and the thirst for Light”. An ardent seeker of the spirit, Jyoti was graced with the Realization of the Soul. The deeply inspiring and outstanding aspect of her quest was her selfless spirit; her pilgrim feet both led and carried along with her many an aspirant on the path. We are reminded of Sri Aurobindo’s beautiful aphorisms: “Beatitude is God’s aim or humanity; get this supreme good for thyself first that thou mayest distribute it entirely to thy fellow-beings”.
