Sri Aurobindo Bhavan - Shrine in Kolkata - Kolkata, India

Absolutely beautiful. We were here early morning, beautiful beautiful beautiful. So zen, calm, right at the heart of the city and yet so peaceful. The whole place is bound to lift up your spirits and make you feel wonderful.

Peaceful Sacred place. Sri Aurobindo Bhavan, 8 Shakespeare Sarani, the place where Sri Aurobindo was born, was renovated and the sacred relics of Sri Aurobindo were enshrined here on 16th February, 1973.The memorial shrine has since become a place of pilgrimage. The Bhavan was established with the primary objectives of disseminating the teachings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother among the members of the public so as to help them to raise their mental and moral outlook and to solve their cultural and spiritual problems in the light of such teachings.

Edit: First review written on: 11/07/2018, 02:00 pm A serene place. Meditate or just spend some time in quietness with yourself. The place remains open from 11 am to 5 pm. The upper floor opens at 4 pm. The public meditation timings are Thursday and Sunday 7 pm. The premises hold a bookstore and a micro and small scale industry store with reasonably priced incense sticks spices biscuits shampoos and other items made by ashram workers.

This is one of my favourite places! Very peaceful, and I love Bhavan's little shop. Beautiful garden areas to have a little walk around. I am looking forward to my next visit

Birthplace of the famous revolutionary turned sage,this is a memorial shrine with a tranquil atmosphere.Located close to Theatre Road Little Russel Street Xing it is also a cultural center with meditation and library facilities besides selling unique and economical herbal products.

This place has a beautiful vibe... Calm and serene... Great place for meditation and prayer... Also there are 3/4 shops selling Auroville products which are all excellent... Also there's a book store..

On the Shakespeare Sarani from Sahara Sadan to Cama St on the right hand this place situated , this place is very nice and beautifully maintained , Aurobindo hall is there for any exhibition and mediation place and also book store of Aurobindo ashram , very nice place .

Arrogant management. They behaves like autocratic leaders. They are spoiling a good heritage and nostalgic place we love and respect.
