Eager to Forge Ahead

What is the most useful work to be done at the present moment?   

About Us:

Regard your life as given you only for the divine work and to help in the divine manifestation.”
– Sri Aurobindo

Eager to Forge Ahead is a collective initiative of spiritual seekers and aspirants of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo, committed for collaboration, unity & collective progress. Rooted in Their teachings, our mission is to foster individual and collective transformation through conscious work, spiritual education, and harmonious living. Our vision is to co-create a luminous and harmonious new world, as envisioned by Them.

We strive to share Their teachings widely and faithfully—untouched by distortion, yet simplified for universal understanding. Through study circles held in homes, schools, various institutions, villages, and Sri Aurobindo Society centres not only in India but across the world, we aim to awaken hearts and minds to Their message of hope and transformation.

In a world burdened by division and despair, Their light offers a path forward. By embodying Their teachings in our lives, we believe individual as well as collective transformation will ripple outward—uplifting society, the nation, and ultimately, the world.

Aspiring Communes:

Located amidst the serene and scenic rural regions of undivided Koraput district in Odisha, our ashrams stand as havens of natural beauty and tranquility. It is within these peaceful surroundings that the inmates engage in the best yoga practices, fostering a deep spiritual connection. Embracing the teachings of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, the ashramites lead a life of spiritual dedication. The ashram’s core also houses a shrine dedicated to Sri Aurobindo’s relics, adding to the sacred ambiance.

In addition to the pursuit of spiritual growth, the ashrams actively promote sustainability and self-sufficiency. Organic farming and dairy activities thrive within the premises, which support the cultivation of eco-friendly practices. New and environment friendly initiatives for construction such as use of manual compress soil earthen block machine, installation of solar panels, etc. are implemented to ensure minimization of pollution hence fostering eco-consciousness. The pursuit of knowledge is paramount as ongoing research delves into various aspects of life and transformation of consciousness, guided by the principles of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother.

Beyond the ashram boundaries, we also take the effort to involve ourselves in work at the grassroots level, seeking to uplift humanity as a whole in the light of The Mother and Sri Aurobindo. Conducting study circles in nearby localities, we raise awareness about spiritual living and the transformative power of consciousness. Our mission is to inspire individuals and society at large to comprehend the purpose and meaning of life, fostering a positive and profound impact on the world. Through our efforts and dedication, we aspire to bring about a better, more enlightened future for all of humankind.
