138th birth anniversary of 'The Mother' celebrated

Hundreds of devotees from all over the country visited the Aurobindo Ashram here today and offered prayers on the 138th birth anniversary of 'The Mother'.
They later sat in mass meditation before the samadhis (memorials) of 'The Mother' and Sri Aurobindo, her spiritual mentor.
Ashram sources said the devotees were also allowed to visit the rooms of savants, where they carried out their spiritual experiments.
Sri Aurobindo established the Ashram in 1926 and expounded the theory of integral yoga.
'The Mother' collaborated with him in his spiritual experiments.
While Sri Aurobindo passed away on December 5, 1950, 'The Mother' breathed her last on November 17, 1973.

She established an International Education Centre in 1956.
