Description

Our world is experiencing the birth pangs of an evolving consciousness described and manifested by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. The survival and well-being of the human species is dependent upon our ability to surrender to and adopt to this consciousness. Dr. Chaudhuri worked towards creating an environment that would facilitate the blooming of each and everyone’s Divine human potential.
