    History

    Sri Aurobindo Ashram was founded in 1926 by Sri Aurobindo, an Indian philosopher, yogi, and nationalist, and Mirra Alfassa, known as The Mother. What began as a small group of disciples grew into a large spiritual community. After Sri Aurobindo's withdrawal into seclusion, The Mother oversaw the ashram's development, establishing various departments and initiatives. Over the decades, the ashram has become a renowned center for spiritual seekers worldwide, attracting individuals from diverse backgrounds who come to experience the teachings of Integral Yoga.
