The Sri Aurobindo Ashram is a spiritual community (ashram) in the Indian region of Puducherry, in Pondicherry. The ashram developed out of a small group of disciples who gathered around Sri Aurobindo when he left politics in 1910 and moved to Pondicherry. Sri Aurobindo retired from public view on November 24, 1926, after a great spiritual insight, in order to pursue his spiritual activity. At this time, he delegated complete responsibility for the sadhaks' (spiritual aspirants') inner and outward life, as well as the ashram, to his spiritual partner, "The Mother," formerly known as MirraAlfassa.As a result, this day is commonly referred to as the ashram's founding day, despite the fact that, as Sri Aurobindo himself stated, the ashram had "less been formed than developed around him as its centre."
