    A historical place in Kolkata. This is the birth place of Sri Aurobindo Ghosh. Well maintained and open to all for free. Those who have emotion on history should visit this place. One library runs by the authority here based on Sri Aurobindo and Sreema. There is good arrangement for meditation and some handicraft outlets here.

    Peaceful Sacred place. Sri Aurobindo Bhavan, 8 Shakespeare Sarani, the place where Sri Aurobindo was born, was renovated and the sacred relics of Sri Aurobindo were enshrined here on 16th February, 1973.The memorial shrine has since become a place of pilgrimage. The Bhavan was established with the primary objectives of disseminating the teachings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother among the members of the public so as to help them to raise their mental and moral outlook and to solve their cultural and spiritual problems in the light of such teachings.

    Edit: First review written on: 11/07/2018, 02:00 pm A serene place. Meditate or just spend some time in quietness with yourself. The place remains open from 11 am to 5 pm. The upper floor opens at 4 pm. The public meditation timings are Thursday and Sunday 7 pm. The premises hold a bookstore and a micro and small scale industry store with reasonably priced incense sticks spices biscuits shampoos and other items made by ashram workers.

    One should especially visit this place on independence day, which happens to be Sri Aurobindo's birthday. There are special programmes all through this year as part of his 125th birth anniversary. You must check out the book store and the general sales counter as well. The quality of their spices, incense sticks and condiments can hardly be matched by the overadvertised Patanjali, Sri Sri and other 'godmentrepreneurs'.

    Sri Aurobindo Bhavan is the birthplace of Sri Aurobindo Ghosh, known as Rishi Aurobindo. He is a great philosopher and writer of British Era. Ihe house is now declared as heritage by the government. It is a very peaceful and perfect place for meditation. Library inside is also very good.

    Arrogant management. They behaves like autocratic leaders. They are spoiling a good heritage and nostalgic place we love and respect.
