Induja, a young Auroville architect, talks about how she came to Auroville, the work which inspires her and her hopes for the future.

Shraddhavan, the executive of Savitri Bhavan, left her body on July 19th, 2022, aged 80 years.

Since joining Auroville in 2016, Anandi Zhang has taken up various work in the community. But she feels the most important work is that which she is dong upon herself.

“Sri Aurobindo announced that mankind will enter the subjective age, that a new civilisation is going to come where the primary thrust will be inwards,” says Shraddhavan.

On February 1, 2020, Subash (M.S. Subash Chandra) passed away in the Mahalakshmi Home. He had just become 74 and had been battling Parkinson’s disease since several years.

Savitri Bhavan has published its fifth volume of The English of Savitri, which deals with the first four Cantos of Book Two, the Book of the Traveller of the Worlds, the longest chapter of Savitri.

The English of Savitri Volume 2 deals with Book Three, The Book of the Divine Mother. This volume, the second in the series The English of Savitri, is based on classes led by Shraddhavan at Savitri Bhavan.

“I have tried to explain the meaning of some words and phrases and images that might be difficult to understand … to assist those who aspire to take some first steps towards experiencing the inexhaustible magic and richness and power of Sri Aurobindo’s incomparable poetry”, writes Shraddhavan in The English of Savitri.
