The 99th anniversary of Mother’s final arrival in Puducherry was celebrated with a session of meditation and silent prayer at Sri Aurobindo Ashram on Wednesday.
It was in 1914 that Mirra Alfassa who later came to be known as The Mother, first set foot in Puducherry and met Sri Aurobindo.
However, it was only six years later in 1920 that The Mother moved permanently to Puducherry to continue her work with Sri Aurobindo at the ashram.
Her arrival in Puducherry on April 24, 1920, is celebrated every year with a special darshan and the opening of Sri Aurobindo’s room.
On Wednesday, people from across the country came to Puducherry to celebrate the occasion at Sri Aurobindo Ashram.
Before having special darshan, there was a special meditation session around the samadhi after which the devotees queued up to visit the room of Sri Aurobindo.
