A 'Spiritual Flag of United India' to celebrate the abrogation of Article 370 conferring special status on Jammu and Kashmir has been hoisted atop the Aurobindo library here.

The flag was raised on Wednesday by the management of the library which is attached to the Aurobindo ashram.

A source in the library told newsmen on Thursday that the spiritualist Aurobindo had said, "India should be one and the countrycould not be divided. The country has a spiritual mission for the world."
The source said, "A number of devotees approached the librarywith a plea to hoist the flag and the request was conceded and the flag was hoisted just for a day on Wednesday."
