The event underscores the divine mother as an all-encompassing and transcendental reality, serving as the driving force behind all actions. Emphasizing the feminine aspect of the divine, the discussions revolve around the nurturing role it plays in enhancing knowledge and guiding individuals towards perfection.

A key aspect highlighted is the indispensable collaboration between Sri Aurobindo and the divine mother for the manifestation of their consciousness.
