MOMENTS and MOVEMENTS

In this section we will periodically share our readers some of the special events, activities and occasions that go on at SACAR. We begin with the following special news.

SACAR Family Visits
Shankara Chetty’s House

The special date of April 4 – the day Sri Aurobindo arrived in Pondicherry in 1910 — has an additional significance for SACAR. On this date, SACAR celebrates its ‘yearly’ birthday without having to wait for a leap year every four years. Of course in 2008, we had the special blessing of celebrating our anniversary twice.


On April 4, 2008, we started the day with a special Darshan and meditation in Sri Aurobindo’s Room, and then visited the first abode of Sri Aurobindo when he first arrived in Pondicherry. Master’s Presence in the small second-storey room of Shankara Chetty’shouse where he stayed for six months is unmistakable.
