Sri Aurobindo Ashram, located in the eastern part of Pondicherry, is a spiritual community founded in 1926 that has grown into a vibrant centre guided by the teachings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. What makes this place unique is its blend of spiritual practice with everyday life, centred around the Ashram’s main building, where the Samadhi, a serene white marble shrine, rests in a tree-shaded courtyard. Visitors can experience the tranquil atmosphere, explore libraries, and enjoy cultural activities such as music, dance, and theatre, while also observing the community’s emphasis on physical well-being through yoga, sports, and swimming.
