Devotees flock to Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Puducherry to celebrate Mirra Alfassa's birth anniversary with special darshan.
Thousands of devotees and visitors from various corners of the country thronged the Sri Aurobindo Ashram on Wednesday on the occasion of the 146th birth anniversary of Mirra Alfassa (known also as The Mother), the spiritual coordinator of philosopher Sri Aurobindo.
