Dear all,
Greetings from AuroBharati, Sri Aurobindo Society, Puducherry
Wishing you and your family a year filled with laughter, prosperity, and the fulfillment of your dreams. Happy New Year,
Bharat's magnificence is found in her deep spirituality, vibrant cultural heritage, and enduring wisdom that aligns human existence with nature. Grounded in dharma and the principle of unity in diversity, India presents the world with sustainable lifestyles, moral integrity, and pathways to inner enlightenment, steering humanity towards equilibrium, tranquillity, and shared prosperity.
Sri Aurobindo and the Mother envisioned India not merely as a nation-state, but as a living spiritual power with a decisive role in the evolution of human consciousness. For Sri Aurobindo, India’s greatness lay in her timeless pursuit of Truth, unity in diversity, and the harmonisation of the material and the spiritual “India is the guru of the nations, the physician of the human soul in its profounder maladies; she is destined once more to new-mould the life of the world and restore the peace of the human spirit.” The Mother echoed and deepened this message by emphasising that India’s mission is to become a conscious instrument of global unity and she called “The World is preparing for a big change. Will you help?”
As we welcome the New Year, these messages gain renewed significance. The civilizational principles of India—dharma, compassion, harmony, and respect for life—offer a robust foundation for responsible leadership, innovation, and empathetic governance. In a divided and contentious world, India has the potential to create a substantial impact by promoting dialogue, cultural understanding, and collaborative efforts.
To transform Bharat into a developed nation, numerous academic initiatives, courses, and research programs in the fields of culture and heritage have been launched at AuroBharati, Sri Aurobindo Society, with the objective of attracting a varied group of passionate individuals to engage in projects related to Indian art, culture, and heritage. These efforts are focused on nurturing a profound appreciation for Mother India and improving the comprehension of her diverse cultural expressions, alongside the cultural unity of India and its international relationships, all with the goal of promoting a sustainable society through institutional collaboration, qualitative research, publications, and outreach initiatives.
Motivated by legacy of the Rishis, let us renew our dedication to Bharat's noble mission: to come together in the quest for unity, prosperity, and a more tranquil, empathetic, and spiritually enlightened global community.
