Savitri Bhavan
Auroville 605 101

Savitri Bhavan is located in the
International Zone of Auroville, between Bharat Nivas and
Matrimandir. It has been created as a unit of SAIIER (Sri
Aurobindo International Institute of Educational Research)
to be a focal point for Sri Aurobindo studies in Auroville,
taking Savitri, his revelatory epic poem, as a starting
point for exploring his other writings, and using what he
has written elsewhere to deepen our understanding and
appreciation of Savitri, the most profound and powerfully
creative of all his works. It is meant as a place where all
kinds of materials for study, research and concentration on
Sri Aurobindo's revelatory epic poem Savitri can be gathered
and made available.
The varied activities being organised
and developed by Savitri Bhavan aim to make Sri Aurobindo's
insights more accessible to people of very different
psychological types and cultural origins. Our object is not
mere intellectual or academical scrutiny of Sri Aurobindo's
language and thought. We approach his writings for help and
light, for the psychological insights and support which can
aid us to live in such a way that Auroville can fulfil its
mission as a pathfinder towards a new kind of human society. |
