A Glossary of Philosophical and Psychological Terms provides definitions of the Sanskrit and other words that areįound in the quotations of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother.Ī brief section, The Symbolism of Colours, explains the meaning of various colours and their relationship to the Mother's flower-significances.ĭescriptions of the Flowers, the largest section of the book, gives the full botanical name and family of each flower and indicates its size, shape, colour, lifespan, leaf-type, etc. A Glossary of Botanical Terms defines words that occur in the Descriptions of the Flowers.

Two glossaries explain technical terms used in the book. The user should note that in all these indexes the reference numbers are those of the flowers as they are arranged in Part 1, not the page numbers of the book. There are three indexes giving the location of the flowers in Part 1: an Index of the Mother's Significances, an Index of Botanical Names and an Index of Common Names. This reference volume contains indexes, glossaries, descriptions of the flowers and other information. The three indexes make it possible to locate the flowers in Part 1 by looking under the Mother's significance, the botanical name or the common name. Part 2 is a reference volume containing indexes, glossaries, detailed descriptions of the flowers and other information. For most flowers there is a colour photograph to facilitate identification. Relevant quotations from the works of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother accompany many flower-significances as an aid to understanding them. The organisation of the chapters is outlined in the Contents.įor each flower in Part 1, the following details are given: the Mother's significance, her comment on the significance, the botanical name, and the colour or colours of the flower. In each of the twelve chapters, flowers of related significance are grouped together these groups are then placed in a sequence that develops the theme of the chapter.

Part 1, the text and photographs, is arranged thematically on the basis of the Mother's flower-significances. The book consists of two separately bound parts. In this book, these flowers and their meanings are presented in the light of her vision and experience. "It is a subtle and fragrant language." As if to provide a key to this language, she identified the significances of almost nine hundred flowers.

Don't let it overwhelm you, start slow and most importantly, have fun."Flowers speak to us when we know how to listen to them," the Mother said. Eventually you will know all 5 patterns and you will be able to move up and down the whole neck and switch between patterns with ease. Even with just the one pattern it'll help you improvise greatly. It will blow your mind how many songs and solos use the same minor pentatonic scales. Play each pattern until you don't even have to think about it and it becomes muscle memory, I'd just start with pattern one and focus on that for awhile. I recommend you start there if you're wanting to improvise and solo. Learning just the 5 minor pentatonic scale positions completely changed my ability to improvise and solo. I imagine when trying to improvise you struggle with finding the next note or finding a note that fits, scales will help a lot with this.

It's extremely useful to know them, albeit not a requirement.
