This film is a humble offering by AuroFilms, Sri Aurobindo Society, on the occasion of Sri Aurobindo’s Birth Centenary in the year 1972. It was made with the Mother’s consent when She was in Her physical body in the 1970’s and was retrieved / digitized from the U-matic tapes. The films are available in several national and international languages and will be uploaded every fortnight.

Sri Aurobindo says, “The first principle of true teaching is that nothing can be taught. The teacher is not an instructor or taskmaster, he is a helper and guide.” This in-depth film introduces Integral Education as founded by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother which embodies a new system of education called “Free Progress Education”. On 2nd December, 1943, the Mother opened Sri Aurobindo International Center of Education (SAICE), a school in which, according to the Mother, education “is guided by the soul”, “not prefabricated; not imposed on any individual.” Encompassing a wide range of subjects from art, several languages, science, music and so on, SAICE puts a great deal of emphasis on physical education.
