Sri Aurobindo & the Earth's Future - Part I : From Darkness to Light

.
A NEW and FINAL CUT of this movie is available here with subtitles :


This movie, which is the first part of a trilogy, tells the extraordinary life of Sri Aurobindo, from his birth in 1872 till he came to Pondicherry in 1910, his childhood in Calcutta, Darjeeling and England, his life in Baroda after his return to India in 1893, his action as a secret revolutionary leader and finally his complete involvement in the Indian freedom struggle after the partition of Bengal in 1905, years before Gandhi came back from South Africa... Poet, Yogi, revolutionary and pioneer of a new evolution, Sri Aurobindo was regarded as the first leader to advocate publicly the complete independence from the British rule and soon, he came to be considered by Lord Minto, the Viceroy of India, as 'the most dangerous man' in the British Empire...

Totally drawn in Sri Aurobindo's life. The nation woke up and that was enough to cause all the momentum for India's thrust to Independence. Brilliant life!

Here I am watching at 3am and this labour of love has lit up the entire night sky. One feels the solitary Aurobindo in his cell and the echos of Vande Mataram. Thank you for this hidden gem with its soulful music and background score and the perfect voices that bring alive these stalwarts of the times.

Sri Aurobindo's inner feelings of Indian society truly, naturally narrated....really a great movie on self realisation 🙏

Cant wait for part two. I ended up in Auroville nearly 30 years ago. Something pulled me there.

[dorellabelle]

Well done. I needed to look at something done with intelligence and care.

[gopals]

Just amazing. After very long time, I sat for more than 150 min and completely in isolation, thoughtless and silence.

This is a meditation on Sr Aurobindo not just a film 🙏

This is the documentary that was greatly needed — one that brilliantly illumines the life, work and being of Sri Aurobindo, a true giant, an incomparable luminary. Infinite thanks for this lasting gift.
