History:
On one very significant evening in December 1939, Sri Surendra Nath Jauhar met The Divine Mother for the first time, without making prior plans to that effect, and the whole course of his life changed. Shri Surendra Nath Jauhar had procured a vast expanse of waste land, which lay fallow for many years. The barrenness of the land stretched long between the vision and its translation into action. Things now began moving. Chachaji made elaborate plans for the development of the land and met The Mother for guidance. The Divine plan was set and the auspicious moment for its enaction had finally arrived. The Mother said, “This place will house the Sri Aurobindo Ashram — Delhi Branch, and there certainly will be a Shrine for which I have been keeping Sri Aurobindo’s precious relics.” The Mother fixed the date 12 February 1956 for the inauguration of Sri Aurobindo Ashram Delhi Branch.
The Divine process unfurled itself in its full glory with the arrival of Sri Aurobindo’s relics on 4 December 1957. The relics stood serene and majestic on the altar. The relics were enshrined at the base of the marble cube in a sombre and dignified ceremony on the pious morning of 5 December 1957.
