"In 1971, Patrizia Norelli-Bachelet (Thea) came to the (Sri Aurobindo) Ashram. Gradually an entire body of knowledge came to her, a new cosmology. Ultimately, at the heart of this cosmology was the original vision of the Mother’s chamber. The content of higher knowledge that the Mother knew her vision contained was amply borne out by the cosmology. Indeed, it was revealed that the Mother’s original plan was worthy of the highest heights of Vedic drishti and shruti. Nothing like it had appeared on this Earth since the time of the Great Pyramid at Giza in Egypt, and perhaps the early Vedic constructions, (vedi). Sacred geometry lay at the heart of the vision. The very precise measurements the Mother gave in her original plan indeed had to be ‘precise’, otherwise this phenomenal vision could not reveal the ‘sense’ that she knew it to contain.’
The architects in charge of the township's construction were unable to understand the profundity of the vision... by 1971, when Thea arrived, the original plan had been entirely dismantled.
When she came upon the original plan in May of 1974, brought to her by the architect-in-charge, Pierro Cicionesi, its sacred content was obvious. She began from that moment trying to convince those in charge that no modifications should be introduced in the design and especially in the measurements...
After several years almost entirely dedicated to this endeavour, the construction reached the point of no return (1976). The architects had had their way and no rectification was possible. ..
A change in the design and measurements, completely contrary to the Mother's wishes is one thing...But it is another thing to HIDE THE FACTS FROM THE PUBLIC that there have been changes and that what has been built does not conform to her vision..." (Patrizia Norelli-Bachelet (Thea), Genesis of the Mother's Temple, 25 July, 2002)

‘What went wrong on the subcontinent to permit something so devastating as the dismembering of Mother India? What could possibly be the purpose for such a tragedy that left huge gaps in her landmass and a festering wound that refuses to heal?'

Astrology is older than any religion known today. It is more ancient than the most ancient scriptures. It will last long after these have passed into oblivion, when religions, philosophies, metaphysical systems, the various spiritual disciplines will appear as myths, because it does not depend on man, though he be divinely inspired. Its scriptures are the movement of the planets. Its Truth lies in the workings of the Cosmos, in the harmonies of the Spheres, an
Astrology is older than any religion known today. It is more ancient than the most ancient scriptures. It will last long after these have passed into oblivion, when religions, philosophies, metaphysical systems, the various spiritual disciplines will appear as myths, because it does not depend on man, though he be divinely inspired.

‘’What exactly has been lost of the Sacred Vision in what was constructed in Auroville? The 24-metre diameter does not exist; the 15.20m measure of the Ray does not exist; the 15-step entry from below into the floor of the chamber facing north does not exist; Sri Aurobindo’s symbol in the Shalagrama does not ‘exist’; the translucent Globe does not exist; the stone Pedestal does not exist.

‘’What exactly has been lost of the Sacred Vision in what was constructed in Auroville? The 24-metre diameter does not exist; the 15.20m measure of the Ray does not exist; the 15-step entry from below into the floor of the chamber facing north does not exist; Sri Aurobindo’s symbol in the Shalagrama does not ‘exist’; the translucent Globe does not exist; the stone Pedestal does not exist. Is there anything then of gnostic significance and value in the structure? And even if only one or two items of the Vision have survived – such as the 12 columns – the fundamental feature proper to all great sacred art is absent: its unity. In these matters it is all or nothing. Unfortunately, for disciples and devotees of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, they are left with nothing.
But the Vision itself lives on; its Knowledge has been revealed and preserved. This is the focus of these Chronicles.’’
(Thea, excerpt from Chronicles of the Inner Chamber, no. 9)
