15th August 2022 is the 150th Birth Anniversary of Sri Aurobindo and the 75th Anniversary of India’s Independence-the same day. On this day, a card was distributed in the Ashram containing a picture of Sri Aurobindo and a beautiful message of His work and India.
“The best homage that we
can render to Sri Aurobindo
on his centenary is to have a
thirst for progress and to
open all our being to the
Divine Influence of which he
is the Messenger upon the
earth.”
The Mother
“A spiritual ideal has always
been the characteristic idea and
aspiration of India. But the
progress of Time and the need
of humanity demand a new
orientation and another form of
that ideal…. Our ideal is not
the spirituality that withdraws
from life but the conquest of
life by the power of the spirit. It
is to accept the world as an
effort of manifestation of the
Divine, but also to transform
humanity by a greater effort of
manifestation than has yet been
accomplished….”
Sri Aurobindo
