– Sri Aurobindo

Our Next Film on Sri Aurobindo
We are very happy to share that the inspirational award-winning, hand-painted animation film “Sri Aurobindo: A New Dawn” which was released on 15th of August last year, has so far been viewed by more than a million people.
The Film ends with Sri Aurobindo’s role of working towards helping humanity to rise to a higher consciousness, and solving all the problems that perplex humankind.
In these challenging times of world crises, we need the youth of India and the world to hear the prophetic message given by Sri Aurobindo on the eve of India’s Independence, and work towards creating a perfect society through Individual perfection.
So, we have decided to make another short Film as a call to the New and Free India. And we hope that you will stand by Sri Aurobindo Society in making this much needed Film titled SRI AUROBINDO: A CALL TO NEW INDIA.
All lovers of India, join hands to make this film and contribute at anewdawn.in/donate
