The 103rd anniversary of Mother’s arrival in Puducherry

On Monday, the 103rd anniversary of Mother’s arrival in Puducherry was celebrated with a meditation and silent prayer session at Sri Aurobindo Ashram. In 1914, Mirra Alfassa, later known as The Mother, first arrived in Puducherry and met Sri Aurobindo. However, she only moved permanently to Puducherry six years later in 1920 to continue her work with Sri Aurobindo at the Ashram.

Every year, her arrival on April 24, 1920 is celebrated with a special darshan and the opening of Sri Aurobindo’s room. People from all over the country came to Puducherry to celebrate the occasion at Sri Aurobindo’s ashram. A special meditation session was held around the samadhi, and afterwards, devotees queued up to visit the room of Sri Aurobindo.
