Letter to the Mother
from Kittu
We have started the project
“The Spiritual History of India”. Priti, Ratna and myself are doing the
part related to Ramakrishna and Vivekananda. There are 16 children who
have joined the project and most of them are between the ages of 11 and
14. One of the students showed me a letter written by you to him, which
says: “There is no harm in studying but their teachings have been
surpassed; and to know the Truth it is safer to understand Sri
Aurobindo’s teaching.”
After reading this, the
question that comes in front of me is: Is it really useful to speak to
such young children about Ramakrishna an

Sri Aurobindo Ashram School - I
The history of the Ashram school – now known as the International
Centre of Education – can be probably divided into four periods. The
first period is from 1943 to 1950, the second one is from 1951 to
1958, the third is from 1959 to 1967 and the fourth one is the
period after that.
This article will deal mainly with the third period – that is to say
from 1959 to 1967. However, the first two periods will be briefly
touched upon.
Before the 1940s children were, as a rule, not permitted to live in
the Ashram. But when, during the war, a number of families wer

An experiment worth emulating
The Sri Aurobindo International Centre of Education stands out as an
interesting and unique experiment in the field of education. We
present in this brief article some of its salient features
The first striking feature lies in the goal of education.
The goal here is to help the child to grow to the fullest
development of his being according to his nature, swadharma. It is
based on this concept that education must be a bringing out of
the child's own intellectual and moral capacities to their highest
possible value and must be based on the psychology of the
child-natur

We shall first review the developments in the school from the year
1959.
As already stated earlier, the Free Progress System was introduced
on an experimental basis in 1959 at the Secondary level; from there
it evolved to a surer and larger base in 1961; a small group of
students were trying out this method and the Mother named it Vers
la Perfection. However the whole of the secondary section was
not following the Free System. One section – in fact the larger
section was still continuing with the old method. The school at the
secondary level was thus divided into two sectio

Sri Aurobindo and the Hindu-Muslim problem
One of the most serious and apparently intractable problems that the
Indian subcontinent has been facing for the last century and more
has been the Hindu-Muslim problem. This problem which surfaced in a
big way at the beginning of the 20th century finally
culminated in the formation of Pakistan in 1947. It was thought then
by many – and that included most of the senior Congress leaders-
that with the formation of Pakistan the Hindu-Muslim problem would
ease and finally even cease to exist; it was believed that the
Muslims of the subcontinent bound by Islam and having their

THE HINDU-MUSLIM PROBLEM
The country is passing through a difficult and critical phase on the
vexed issue of the Ayodhya - Babri Masjid problem. It is not really
a problem of the temple and the mosque but much more fundamentally
the problem of the Hindu - Muslim coexistence. It was the inability
to solve this problem that led to the partition of the country in
1947 and unless we face this issue squarely and boldly and solve it
once for all on a sure and sound basis it will recur again and again
whether at Ayodhya or at Varanasi or in fact anywhere; for there are
many contentious issues which can at any moment rai
