sri aurobindo ashram

去pondicherry必须要去的一个地方,很值得,当然如果你喜欢热闹,可能就不喜欢这个地方,它很安静,到处是栽培的鲜花, 静心的当地人和学生, mother和arbindo在当地受到人们的景仰,即使是他们都离开了以后. 我非常喜欢那里.

这家戒备森严，有警察模样的看守，对面封路，有专门放鞋的柜子整整排满了。里头有各种鲜花，衣冠冢一样的。当地人虔诚的拿着鲜花来朝拜。里头有介绍此人和德兰修女生平事迹的书店。好处是不收费，可惜不能拍照。

We visited the one where they have the Samadhi.They don't let you sit near it nor do they let you linger around.There is an impressive display of flowers near the Samadhi and a book-shop inside the building.Too much of interference by the authorities/trustees/volunteers/representatives! That's about it!!

the Aurobindo ashram ranks high on discipline and utmost easy volunteership. the believers of teh philosophy and those praying to Sri Aurobindo selflessly contribute to the maintenance and cleanliness and the purety of teh Ashram inspite of a string of visitors. Books and photographs of the guru are all over Pondicherry and books for sale are decently reasonably priced. the Samadhi is beautifully decorated with flowers and the love for Sri Aurobindo is visible in each act of his followers.

not very much to see, but the garden, a calm and peaceful environment, a silent break make this place a must visit.

Not many have the privilege to travel to Pondicherry from other nations let alone travel here with a Brahman. I am fortunate. Come here for meditation. Place your forehead on the marble of the resting place of Aurobindo. All I can say is that it is a game changer.Also visit the most sacred temple of Genesh and pay attention to the begging elephant outside as well. This place changed my life forever!

I visited the retreat (18th Feb 2015) and did buy a few Maroma products and am wondering of the comment that the products are a sham. How would we know that they are the original products. I have used some of them but not long enough to make a comparison. I bought the products under the impression that products in Auroville are of natural and good quality.I hope someone in authority of these products can clarify the comment of the person who said the products in Auroville were a sham.usha

Not much to see in there, however the place is special for its garden, meditation place, quietness in the middle of the busy Pondicherry.

Even if you are not familiar with, nor adept of meditation, it is interesting to take off your shoes, switch off your camera or phone, and go into this place. There is not much to see, you enter a beautifully flowered garden path to reach the central point of the building, a meditation place under a large tree and around a flower pattern. Silence is to be respected, and that gives some depth to the visit.You can go around the did not get flower bed, sit for meditation or writing. Last step is the library, where you can buy one of the numerous books written by Sri Aurobindo. I must say I did not know that much.I did not get convinced, but found it great. It took less than 20 minutes.

we visited this place in morning of 25.2.2015. This is samadhi place of Sri Aurobindo where devotee offer their prayer. There is pin drop silent in Ashram. A small place but faithful for followers of Sri Aurobindo.

Visited the Ashram a few months back to pay my homage to the Mother and Sri Aurobindo. Took my parents along.....after all these spiritual leaders were right next to my parents in my adulation. The place indeed has a calming infulence. My aging mother who has difficulty with walking just sat down for a while on an empty chair....and came rushing a volunteer asking her not to sit..when questioned why an old person cannot rest for a while on a chair.....he said there are no answers to such a Why..Kept thinking about it. Felt foolish instances like this kill the spiritual beauty of a place like the Sri Aurobindo Ashram

I was initially expecting a huge place, although the mothers abode is a small, very quite place with beautiful flowers all around. Although the Ashram itself is spread over a big area. Unfortunately, they did not allow anyone to take photos, so i have only one clicked from outside. There are a few shops selling a lot of stuff around the actual ashram, and bough several awesome incense sticks, fragrance oils, etc. However, you need to ask about these stores the first time you go. I am going back to Pondi for sure for a longer stay.

What an awesome serene place to visit in pondicherry, whether you are a devotee of Aurobindo or not, this is a must visit place in pondicherry. great place to meditate, maintain silence and reflect on ourselves . his writings are very good.

People come here to pay tribute and meditate or buy books. You can see lot of foreigners meditating here. It is quite place and speaking is prohibited. You need to take off your shoes before entry and free shoe deposit center is located opposite to the entry gate

Every Ashram and places of saints were in pure silence and we can feel a positive energy in there. Likewise i feel that Auro Ashram is the most energetic place and one can feel a very pleasant over there. Further there are several flourished flora from different parts of the world, which will not normally grow in Indian temp.. a must visit for Meditation =.
