Sri
Aurobindo Ashram is a spiritual community (ashram)
located in Pondicherry,
in the Indian territory of Puducherry. The ashram grew out of a small community of
disciples who had gathered around Sri Aurobindo after
he retired from politics and settled in Pondicherry in 1910. On 24 November
1926, after a major spiritual realization, Sri Aurobindo withdrew from public
view in order to continue his spiritual work. At this time he handed over the
full responsibility for the inner and outer lives of
the sadhaks (spiritual aspirants) and the ashram to his spiritual
collaborator, "the Mother", earlier known as Mirra Alfassa.
