AuroMa: The Mother was born Mirra Alfassa in Paris on 21 February 1878. In 1914 the Mother voyaged to Pondicherry to meet Sri Aurobindo. In April 1920 the Mother rejoined Sri Aurobindo in Pondicherry. When the Sri Aurobindo Ashram was formed in November 1926, Sri Aurobindo entrusted its full material and spiritual charge to the Mother. The Mother left her body on 17 November 1973. Sri Aurobindo was born in Calcutta on 15 August 1872. At the age of seven he was taken to England for education. Returning to India in 1893, he worked for the next thirteen years in State of Baroda in service of the Maharaja and as a professor in Baroda College. In 1906, Sri Aurobindo quit his post in Baroda and went to Calcutta, where he soon became one of the leaders of the Nationalist movement. In 1908 he had the first of several fundamental spiritual realisations. In 1910 he withdrew from politics and went to Pondicherry in order to devote himself entirely to his inner spiritual life and work. Sri Aurobindo left his body on 5 December 1950.
