BRIEF HISTORY :
The Grace of The Sweet Mother and the prayers and aspiration of the members of Sri Aurobindo Sadhana Mandir guided and shaped the circumstances resulting in the installation of Sri Aurobindo’s Relics on 14th December. The members are very grateful to Prof Kittu Reddy of Sri Aurobindo Ashram , Pondicherry and Ex minister Sri Bimbadhar Kuanar who became the instrument of Sweet Mother to fulfill their heart’s aspiration.
THE MESSAGE INSCRIBED ON SAMADHI :
Sri Aurobindo is an emanation of the Supreme who came on earth to announce the manifestation of a new race and a new world: The Supramental. Let us prepare for it in all sincerity and eagerness. -The Mother
This is not an ordinary temple, neither is its aim ordinary. It has the great aim to participate in the Divine’s Work, to become an instrument of the Divine Mother in Her Lila of Manisfestation.
It was the year 1972, the year of Sri Aurobindo’s Birth Centenary. The first study circle was started on 24th November at the residence of Sri Kahnu Chran Swain. As the years rolled on, the members in Centre started increasing. By the sweet and self effacing personality of Sri Madhusudan Mishra and dynamic involvement of Sri Bhajakrushna Sahu, the study circles became active. On 19th December, 1983 Sri Madhusudan Mishra laid the foundation of the study circle building which was inaugurated by Sri Prapatti on 28th January, 1986.
  • The first Sri Aurobindo Womens’ Study Circle of this area started on 1st January, 1987 by Smt. Kamala Rout.
  • On 4th April, 1990, the Auromira Study Circle, the youth and student section of the centre started functioning by the guidance of Sri Samarendra Lenka. This opened a new dynamic chapter for the centre.
  • The youth and students organised “AuroMira sales centre”, “ Auro Mira Music centre”, a wall magazine “Auro Patra”, “Auro Library”, “Auro Hostel”, a mobile Sri Aurobindo Study Circle and gave new enthusiasm to the locality.
  • A quarterly magazine “Sangati” was started on behalf of the zone.
  • On 25th, 26th and 27th December of 1992, for the first time a “Sri Aurobindo Youth and Student Camp” of Baragada district was organised. This is an annual camp being held every year since then.
  • Another land mark was the silver jubiliee celebration of the study circle on 28th and 29th January, 1997.
  • A fresh inspiration has awakened in the locality to a new dimension. On 15th August, 1999, a Sri Aurobindo Integral Education Centre started by Sri Alekh Chandra Palai. Every year one new section is being added to the education centre.
Amidst all the activities a secret desire lingered in every one’s heart to have the Relics of The Lord.The heart’s prayer was offered at The Mother’s Room and Sri Aurobindo’s Room. On 30th September, 2001 at the garden of the centre, Sri Dharanidhar Sahu laid the foundation of the proposed Relics Centre. An intense inspiration touched everyone’s heart. Our engineer brother Sri Binod Kumar Sahu prepared a simple but beautiful plan and the construction activity gained momentum.
On 2nd February, 2002 when Sri Aurobindo’s Relics halted for few minutes on the way to Ruchida, it was felt as if The Lord said to us “Get Prepared I am coming here too”. The center is deeply grateful to Madhusudan Mishra, Anadi Charan Swain, Bhajakrushna Sahu, C.H.Nirakar, Pravat Kumar Nayak and many others for their inspiring words.
On the 14th of December, 2003 at 4 PM. the prayer was fulfilled when the sacred relics were enshrined in the temple by Prof Chhotenarayan Sharma from Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry. © 2005 Matrubhaban, Sri Aurobindo Marg, Cuttack-753013
