Sri Aurobindo University

The Mother's message, "If one reads Sri Aurobindo carefully, one finds the answers to all that one wants to know"- unfolds a world of significance which is reiterated by another of Her declarations- "By studying carefully what Sri Aurobindo has said on all subjects, one can easily reach a complete knowledge of the things of this world." To this She adds an interesting revelation - "It is not by books that Sri Aurobindo ought to be studied but by subjects - what he has said on the Divine, on Unity, on religion, on evolution, on education, on self-perfection, on supermind, etc, etc". To top it all when She was questioned, "Mother, how can one become wise?" She emphatically replied- "Read Sri Aurobindo" (12/208).

From these statements of The Mother one gets sufficient indications to enter the gateway of true Knowledge.

We initiate this venture with the conviction that the global solution to the problems that confronts the world today, are to be found in Sri Aurobindo and The Mother's writings (books). The objective of the University is to encourage aspiring individuals to participate in Sri Aurobindo and The Mother's Vision of the New World through the study of Their works. Sri Aurobindo University aspires to be the instrument of His Force to propagate Their dynamic message to humanity. A candidate of this university is a student of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. In an attempt to embrace the whole of human existence, and raise it to a higher status, Sri Aurobindo University will spread its illuminating and enlightening activities to different disciplines of education and thereby embrace the entire life.

Members of Sri Aurobindo Study circle, teachers of Sri Aurobindo Integral Schools, students and all others who are interested in cultivating Sri Aurobindo's and The Mother's works are specially requested to join (in) this new project of the University. This will be an effective way of breaking away from the shackles of inertia, sluggishness of the brain and dormancy of thought process and liberate the aspiring intellectual to a new dynamism of a globally, all fulfilling, all understanding, all harmonising thought and action in the Light of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother.

Sri Aurobindo University was inaugurated on 4th April 2007 at Sri Aurobindo Srikhetra, Dalijoda, Orissa. by Dr. M. V. Nadkarni.

Sri Aurobindo University for Junior Learners

"...there is a special personal tie between you and me, between all who have turned to the teaching of Sri Aurobindo and myself, — and, it is well understood, distance does not count here, you may be in France, you may be at the other end of the world or in Pondicherry, this tie is always true and living." The Mother (13/ 76)

While SAU was originally constituted for senior learners, it was felt that SAU can also be an instrument to encourage students in various Sri Aurobindo Integral schools to read Sri Aurobindo and the Mother and their works. Thus a junior level of SAU was created to facilitate the participation of the students.

The junior level will most have participants from Schools. The likely procedure in schools will be as follows –

The general procedure will be same as the rules of Sri Aurobindo University applicable to senior group.
In every school there will be one Convenor for Sri Aurobindo University who may be the Principal of the school or any one selected by the Principal.
He will call for the meeting of students and ask them to choose a subject either from the list or anything suitable to the student concerned.
The Convenor (guide) will help the student to prepare a synopsis which means a points and plan of the essay with a little logical elaboration.
After the synopsis is received the Convenor will advise the student to proceed with his writing
The Convenor will prepare the list of all reference books and will help the student to go through
For any clarification and guidance, the district Covenor of SAU will be contacted
When the writing is complete it will be submitted to the SAU dist Convenor and finally sent to the SAU State Convenor for final approval
Within a year some seminars will be arranged in the school on the subjects chosen by the students and guests from outside or from the school will be requested to speak on the subject. This will certainly help the student to prepare his paper
Thus completing all the process, the candidate will present his paper in the district conference of Sri Aurobindo Study circle, in presence of all organisers of the district
