1) Arrival in Pondicherry, Mother's stay in Bayoud House:
The Mother arrived in Pondicherry on 24 Apr, 1920 along with Paul Richard & Datta, & stayed in Bayoud House for ~half year.

2) Mother moves to Guest House:
Due to a tumultuous relationship with the Mother, Paul decided to leave Pondicherry in Nov-1920. She moved to #SriAurobindo's residence on 24 Nov as advised by Him after a local cyclone..

5) Siddhi Day, Ashram Established, Overmental creation:
The descent of Krishna Consc. on 24 Nov. 1926 led to an almost total withdrawal of #SriAurobindo, & Mother took charge of the new 'Ashram' community..
