Collective Meditation on Sri Aurobindo’s Mahasamadhi Day
On 5th December 1950, Sri Aurobindo withdrew from his physical body and entered Mahasamadhi. His passing was marked by a profound and extraordinary phenomenon witnessed by many. Nirodbaran, a senior Ashramite and his personal physician, recounts:
“On 5th December 1950 at 1:26 a.m. he left his body and by morning the entire body was seen to be suffused with a golden-crimson hue, so fresh and so magnificent… This Supramental Light remained for five days at a stretch… Sri Aurobindo’s body remained intact with no signs of discoloration or decomposition… On 9th December, the light began to fade and in the evening the body was laid to rest in the Ashram courtyard under the Service Tree.”
Details:
- Date: 5th December 2025 (Friday)
- Time: 5:15 PM Onwards
- Venue: Sri Aurobindo Integral Life Centre (SAILC), AURO University
This day is observed with deep reverence and inner quietude, as we turn inward to remember Sri Aurobindo’s luminous presence and renew our aspiration for inner growth. Coming together in silence allows us to align with his Light and open ourselves to the peace, guidance, and wideness he embodied.
“The Spirit shall look out through Matter’s gaze
And Matter shall reveal the Spirit’s face.”
— Sri Aurobindo, Savitri (Book XI, Canto I)
We welcome you to join this collective moment of remembrance and aspiration.
