Sri Aurobindo Society, Nairobi Centre started out as the collective quest of a community of seekers inspired by the life and work of two of the greatest exponents of the spiritual tradition of ancient India in our own times, Sri Aurobindo and The Mother of Puducherry. Over the years, we have been blessed to give a concrete shape to our activities in the form of physical premises, which you can find here and the organization.

Today our activities range from intense study of the works of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, the most important being the epic poem, Savitri, to collective meditations, seminars by eminent speakers, distribution of literature and importantly, take part in the experiment of Integral Yoga. 

You can find a list of our regular activities here.

Inspirational Quotes & Poems
The Mother in Japan (1916-1920).
At her right, Rabindranath Tagore and at left, her husband Paul Richard.

It is no use reading books of guidance if one is not determined to live what they teach. Blessings. 

The Mother


Because Thou art

Because Thou art All-beauty and All-bliss,
My soul blind and enamoured yearns for Thee;
It bears Thy mystic touch in all that is
And thrills with the burden of that ecstasy.

Behind all eyes I meet Thy secret gaze
And in each voice I hear Thy magic Tune:
Thy sweetness haunts my heart through Nature's ways;
Nowhere it beats now from Thy snare immune.

It loves Thy body in all living things;
Thy joy is there in every leaf and stone:
The moments bring Thee on their fiery wings;
Sight's endless artistry is Thou alone.

Time voyages with Thee upon its prow -
And all future's passionate hope is Thou.

SRI AUROBINDO (SABCL; Collected Poems; pg.154)
