The Sri Aurobindo Centre in Aurangabad kicked off celebrations Sunday on the occasion of the 150th birth anniversary of poet-philosopher and freedom fighter Aurobindo Ghosh. Sri Aurobindo Centre in Aurangabad was started in 1972 after professor Rameshwar Rathi, the centre’s in-charge, was inspired by a darshan of The Mother in Pondicherry, he said. He was a scholar, poet, philosopher, writer, editor, leader, staunch nationalist, yogi and linguist fluent in 12 languages,” said Khambete. Sri Aurobindo says we should keep the past as a strong foundation and leap towards the bright future,” he explained. “The youth are groomed and prepared to represent the state at such camps that target their overall integral development,” he said.
