Kindness, kindness, kindness. I want to make a New Year's prayer, not a resolution. I'm praying for courage.
~ Susan Sontag, American writer

Indian Culture
During November and December, AuroBharati organised a series of scholarly and cultural programmes reflecting Sri Aurobindo’s vision for India. These included conferences, lectures and commemorative events engaging scholars, educators and seekers in meaningful dialogue on Indian civilisation, consciousness studies and integral perspectives relevant to contemporary times.
In late November, BhāratShakti held a two-day Residential Workshop-Retreat on the ‘Four Powers of the Mother’ at Sri Aurobindo Dhama, immersing participants in integral explorations of Maheshwari, Mahakali, Mahalakshmi and Mahasaraswati. The team also organised a day-long workshop on ‘Sri Aurobindo and Indian Freedom Movement’ for teenage students.

Environmental education, bio-region workshops, STEM and robotics sessions, school initiatives, women-led livelihood trainings and infrastructure projects marked steady progress. Strong participation from students, interns, partners and volunteers reflected a shared commitment to building a greener, more inclusive Puducherry.
BANDE MATARAM and INDIA’S RE-AWAKENING
“…the mantra of Bande Mataram, the public and universal cry of awakened love for the Motherland.” — – Sri Aurobindo
Sri Aurobindo, in his speech delivered at Amravati on 29 January 1908 spoke of Bande Mataram as far more than a national song. He described it as a sacred mantra, charged with mighty power, revealed again to the nation through Anandamath by Bankim Chandra whom he called an inspired Rishi.
In these words, Bande Mataram becomes not merely a cry of freedom, but a call for the soul, to awaken love, devotion and true patriotism towards the Motherland.
