What is Savitri Bhavan

Savitri Bhavan is committed to a ‘learning society’ and tries to look into the future by supporting ‘constant progress and unending education’ and the growth of consciousness by eliminating as much as possible all harmful reflexes of the past in preparation for the search for a greater knowledge and a transition towards a truer life.

Savitri Bhavan is dedicated to a ‘kind economy’ and provides its services free of charge. It is maintained through donations (tax-free for Indian Nationals). During the inauguration of the first building of Savitri Bhavan, Nirod-da, the scribe of Sri Aurobindo considered Savitri Bhavan the twin of Matrimandir, both meant to spread the message of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo.

The base of the statue of Sri Aurobindo at the entrance of the institution contains Sri Aurobindo’s relics.
