Sri Aurobindo’s books present difficulty in grasping

Sri Aurobindo’s books attract many a scholar and devotees for the eloquence and novelty of thought. Yet they present difficulty in grasping not only for their English but also for the content and consciousness packed in them. However, mentored study of his vast and varied works could facilitate their deeper understanding. It is with this view that SACAR launches “intensive” research in Sri Aurobindo’s major works: The Life Divine, Savitri, The Synthesis of Yoga, The Human Cycle, Foundations of Indian Culture, Essays on the Gita.

Online Courses

CONCEPT

The online courses offered at SACAR have been especially designed keeping in view that there are many seekers who wish to study the works of Sri Aurobindo systematically but are bound by distance and time to take on a full-fledged course by living on the campus. The online forum allows the individual to sit at home and study under the guidance of the facilitator who is available online.

DURATION

These are certificate courses of 12 weeks each. They cover almost all the major works of Sri Aurobindo. If the student or a group of students has a special demand to study any specific course, we also design it according to his or her needs.

INTER-DISCIPLINARY APPROACH

Our approach to teaching-learning is inter-disciplinary. Sri Aurobindo with his wide and vast vision has written on such varied subjects that nearly all the major disciplines of Arts and Humanities and a few of the Sciences and Management find their place of study and deeper analysis in his writings.

FACILITATOR

Essentially we believe that a teacher does not teach but only facilitates the learner to dig deeper into the area of his/her interest. Therefore, we address our teachers as facilitators. They are a group of highly qualified scholars of the works of Sri Aurobindo and have done a good deal of work in their own chosen field.

Internship Programme

Internship

Internship at SACAR is different than other professional internship programmes. This has been specially designed with two-fold intension
  •  To add an inner dimension to one’s life and professional course that one is doing;
  •  To study the chosen discipline with respect to Indian Culture and its relevance to the future of India.

Various disciplines in India these days are incorporating the best of the knowledge that the West provides and that surely brings the syllabi at par with the international standards. However, those cannot be blindly applied to the specific field in India for the simple reason that Indian cultural milieu demands an indigenous system to make it work. What then is the demand of our culture? For this students need to study Indian culture from a different perspective.
This perspective is provided by Sri Aurobindo in his writings on Indian culture, society, polity and the like. His vision of seeing things is new and at the same time it blends well with free-thinking minds of the day
We therefore invite the youth to explore this new dimension and add an inner perception to themselves and the world.
