Join us for the screening of “Sri Aurobindo: The Beginning of Spiritual Journey,” a 38-minute documentary directed by Suraj Kumar. The film, in English, captures the pivotal period of Sri Aurobindo’s life, focusing on his arrest for conspiracy on May 5, 1908, and his subsequent year-long imprisonment in Alipore Jail. The British government’s prolonged court trial, known as the “Alipore Bomb Case,” aimed to implicate him in revolutionary activities, but he was ultimately acquitted and released on May 6, 1909. Shot on location in Alipore Jail, this film offers a deep dive into Sri Aurobindo’s early spiritual journey. The screening will be introduced by the director and followed by a discussion.
