A wonderful bit of garden and peace in the middle of crazy Kolkata streets

aurobindo ashram February 10, 2007 Posted by eenauk in religion, me, philosophy, india, ethics, political philosophy. trackback I spent the day today at the Aurobindo ashram downtown Kolkata. Read some of his book on The Ideal of Human Unity, signed up for yoga classes and received initiation into the all important breathing techniques: you get, among other things, to sit crosslegged, put three fingers over each eyelid, your two thumbs in your ears and hum a closed-mouthed “aum” as you exhale. six times. The ashram is a wonderful bit of garden and peace in the middle of crazy kolkata streets. It has a decent library...
