The album “India And Her Future” is a compilation of spoken words, hymns and devotional songs based on the teachings of “The Mother” and performed by the artists of Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry. Mira Alfassa (21 February 1878 – 17 November 1973), known to her followers as “The Mother” was the spiritual collaborator of Sri Aurobindo. She co founded the Sri Aurobindo Ashram along with Sri Aurobindo in November 1926. Mira Alfassa was a French national born in Paris. She became a student of occultism from a very early age. She came to India and met Sri Aurobindo for the first time in 1914. At the first meeting she was clear that Sri Aurobindo was the person she had been in search of for all these years. The spiritual bonding was instantaneous. She had to go back to France because of World War, but she finally came back and settled in Pondicherry. The teachings and lectures of “The Mother” evoke philosophical thoughts for the same Divine transformation. Sri Aurobindo is a legendary figure when it comes to Indian freedom struggle. Born as Aurobindo Ghosh he went to study Indian Civil Services at The King’s College, Cambridge, England. He was appointed for civil services under the Maharaja of the Princely State of Baroda. He started taking active participation in the Nationalist movement of India. Aurobindo was put behind the bars several times by the British raj for his writings and activities against the Raj. Aurobindo was one of the major propagators for the extremist wing under the congress. In 1908 Aurobindo was arrested for being connected with the Alipore Bomb Case. After a year of imprisonment he was released and after that he gradually moved over towards the path of spiritualism and finally settled down in Pondicherry. Sri Aurobindo developed a method of Spiritual practice called Internal Yoga. The process was based on the concept of transformation or evolution of human life into life divine. This album “India And Her Future” is a splendid take on the interpretations of “The Mother” on Bharatbarsha and a New India. This is a compilation of various writings of “The Mother” narrated beautifully along with various hymns and Devotional Songs that were written by “The Mother” which depicts India in a new light. The spiritual take on a New India is refreshing. The artists of Sri Aurobindo Ashram did a marvelous job presenting these unique philosophical and spiritual thoughts with superb aesthetics. == All tracks Written by The Mother and composed by Shobha Mitra. Sung by the Artists Of Sri Aurobindo Ashram ==
