Sri Aurobindo, born on
15th August 1872, was a visionary who made lasting contributions to
India’s freedom struggle.
Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav – an endeavour to celebrate the glorious history of India’s people, culture and achievements on the occasion of 75 years of independence – is commemorating Sri Aurobindo’s 150th birth anniversary by organising year long activities and programmes across the country, the PMO said.
Among these, the Digital Repository of Shri Kireet Joshi’s writings on Sri Aurobindo has been released. Several films such as A Spiritual History of India – in the Light of Sri Aurobindo, by Manoj Pavithran, and Koham-Soham by Arnab Choudhary were produced.
The City Exhibition - A Vision Takes Shape a state-of-the-art exhibition by Anupama Kundoo, on the
‘model town’ that Sri Aurobindo and the Mother spoke and worked towards, was inaugurated at India Space, Bharat Nivas, Auroville. .
