The Center holds a collective study, satsang, every Sunday evening at 7 PM Central Time, to inform the practice of the Integral Yoga. We begin with the Mother’s music and Sanskrit chants, which are succeeded by the salient features and commentary on the evening’s material. After reading a relevant selection from Sri Aurobindo’s epic, Savitri, the evening is capped with collective meditation. We are currently reflecting on Vedic and Upanishadic insights that find voice in Sri Aurobindo’s magnum opus, The Life Divine. In recent years we have read together on Sundays Sri Aurobindo’s The Life Divine, The Synthesis of Yoga, Essays on the Gita, and The Mother, and touched upon many other writings, words, etc. Please go to our Readings page to learn about our past and current readings.

We read and discuss Sri Aurobindo’s correspondence in the volumes of Letters on Yoga (CWSA versions) at 4.30 PM Central Time. Join in person or virtually via Zoom. The session sometimes ends with a reading from Savitri or selections from Collected Poems, followed by meditation in the Shrine Room.

Meditation in the Center’s Shrine Room with Sri Aurobindo’s Relics is available twice daily and otherwise by appointment. The Relics radiate a force that is precious beyond calculation for many who visit our Center. The first session is from 7:00 to 7:30 in the morning, the second from 5:30 to 6:00 in the evening (both in Central Time). At the close of the evening meditation, we read aloud two pages from Sri Aurobindo’s great epic, Savitri. The Center’s tradition is to read the first pages of the poem on the 15th of August, to read about two pages per day through the rest of the year, and then to end with the closing lines on the following 14th of August. Thus, we cycle through every annum with Savitri.
