When in Pondicherry<\/strong> I warmly recommend you to pay a visit to the ashram<\/strong> of Sri Aurobindo<\/strong> on \u201cMarine Street\u201d in the old French Quarters. It is a beautiful colonial style mansion where the faithful meditate. In 1920 a French woman joined Sri Aurobindo and became his spiritual companion, since then known as \u201cThe Mother\u201d. Sri Aurobindo’s teachings are a synthesis of traditional and modern Yoga. The aim of his Yoga practice is to develop inner spiritual life. With this practice the unique Self is revealed, thus developing a supramental spiritual awareness that transforms human life.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
