- THE TRANSFORMATION in English and NAYA JANMA in Hindi is a tribute on the occasion of 150th Birth Anniversary of Sri Aurobindo and the 75th Anniversary of India's Independence.
August 2022 is a very significant time in our Nation’s history. 15th August will not only usher in our 75th year of independence but will also be the 150th birth anniversary of the person who inspired leaders who fought for our independence and was termed the ‘Master Mind’ by the British for their oust from India.
On this auspicious occasion of the 150th Birth Anniversary of Sri Aurobindo (15th August, 2022),
Sri Aurobindo Society, Puducherry, and Kolkata Sukriti Foundation, have prepared a documentary film on Sri Aurobindo. It portrays this pioneering leader of the Freedom Movement and revolves around the period 1908 to 1909 when Sri Aurobindo was in jail in Alipore in Kolkata. The film is about 54 minutes long.
This film has been dubbed in Bengali titled ‘Rupantar’ and in Tamil titled ‘Puthiya Piravi’.
This documentary film highlights landmark events that took place during this period. The film has shots of the actual locations of Muzaffarpur where the bomb blast took place and for which Khudiram Bose was hanged. It covers the Railway station where Prafulla Chaki shot himself before being caught and the hill where Barindra Ghose and his associates tested the bomb. The film also includes shots of the Alipore Jail where Sri Aurobindo was kept in solitary confinement and the Uttarpara Jaykrishna Public Library, where Sri Aurobindo for the first time revealed publicly of his Yoga and his spiritual experiences. Rare newspapers from the British Library and the National Library with actual writings from Sri Aurobindo form the basis of this film.
‘The Transformation’ (‘Naya Janma’ in Hindi) is produced by the Sri Aurobindo Society, Pondicherry and by the Kolkata Sukriti Foundation. Shot with multiple cameras it is Edited by Satyendra Mohanty, with Sound design by Anup Mukherjee, and Music by Pt. Tejendra Narayan Majumdar.

I could not hold my emotions when incident of Khudiram Bose, Prafullya Chaki, Kanai Dutta, and other such brilliant souls were stated...... And look at their tender ages....they were just teenage boys....Kanai Dutta adjusting his hanging rope himself !!!!! What a courage..... What an awe....when I visited Cellular Jail in Andaman standing in front of the memorial marble plaques... It was the same experience...
People of present India must know about Sri Aurobindo.... They must know about the innumerable fearless young brave sons of the soil who made the supreme sacrifice for their motherland and the source of their inspiration... We have learnt enough about Gandhi and Nehru...I feel now the curtain should be raised to know the real history of India during the period 1870-1940....

it took me 56 summers to know about this great man last week and now am planning to know him more - buying his books and venturing to know about him. Gandhi and Nehru were taught from LKG till my 12th standard, and every year two questions in English, Hindi and Telugu and their answers were to be written by me, and obviously it was Chachaji and Mahatma. I repent now and after visiting Andamans Cell of Sarvarkar only 2 questions come to mind. How did the real heroes of the 1857 - 1900 uprising were sent to oblivion and were the Britishers complicit with the Congress Party in elevating both Nehru and Gandhi for both to co-exist and build a symbiotic relationship that would continue even after India gained independence. It is an eye opener, and i need to now know more about Subhas Chandra Bose. I consider my education incomplete and would start afresh to know about my country independence again.
Sir....you can add works of Swami Vivekananda too in your reading list....to understand Bose properly you have to go through both of them properly...Vivekananda and Aurobindo...🙏
@@vipulde thanks for your help. I ordered 10 set Vivekananda works from Advaita Ashram at 1100 rupees. I will be reading
@@nvraman ohh Sir....you are really great....never thought you will take it so seriously.... If u have any future plan to visit Calcutta then please visit Ramkrishna Mission Library, Goalpark & obviously the headquarter at Belur, Howrah.....thanks and regards 🙏
@@nvraman Netaji's entire works are also available , published from Netaji Research Bureau , Kolkata, in 22 parts which includes his entire gamut of essays , letters , speeches and so on. You might like to read them.
@@Balboa_Rocky can i purchase those 22 books via online ?
Every youth in India must watch this movie to know about the sacrifices and struggle our freedom fighters did to liberate our country from the foreign rule. Aurbindo the great spiritual leader always remembered.

Oneness of almighty of all religions can be understood after solitude and death of ego , which itself arise out of self indulgence and self centricity.
Such a divine know-how, eventhough looks simple, need to be realised by meditating on a chosen field and realising that , it is only a transience not permanent , ever existing is only the divinity , which need to be strived by humanity as early as possible, which is the sole purpose of life of humans.
Sri Aurobindo realised it in his days in prison, as it is time to liberate himself .
Dear Friend,
I have wept like anything watching this video recollecting Everything and as if I was awitness ot everything and could not do anything but remain with Him when He was at Pondicherry then now Puducherry.
.I was initiated by Swami Vireshwaranandaji of Sri Ramakrishna Mission and Mother was with me and Now also She is taking care of me !

Sri Aurobindo is our emotion.mind can not judgement
The transformative experiences depicted in his Life Divine and Savitri truly seem to acquire a new dimension of interpretation as one watches this short documentary. Must congratulate the director to document a part of the journey of Sri Aurobindo which began with nationalist fervour and ended in self realisation. Well done.
Wonderful presentation. Thanks to the entire team.
Thanks to all participants who worked for The Divine/Super Mind incarnation-Sri Aurobindo Maa.
Om Sri Aurobindo Mirra saranam mamo.
Very apt and well made documentary, suited to the occasion of 150 years of sri Aurobindo s birth anniversary and 75 years of india s independence ' Azadi ka amrit mahotshav ' well made with original pics. Thank you for the whole team . Vande Mataram 👍🌹🙏
Jay mataji
Sincere effort to pay Homage to most revered Sri Aurobindo on His 150 th Birthday
Excellent presentation. I salute the whole team.
Certain incidents are inexplicable, transforming and borders on epiphany. Shri Aurobindo was perhaps waiting for this epiphanous break to come during his solitary confinement. The world has immensely benefitted through his transformation and wisdom.
I am waiting for the next episode.
Thanks
Very well made. Inspiring.
Brilliant production. Was eagerly waiting for this. This should be shared in all possible ways including in school, colleges. We want one more of such film on Sri Aurobindo's Pondicherry phase. I am grateful to everyone who are part of this beautiful film.
Heart touching.
जय। जय हो
I learnt so many new aspects of Sri Aurobindo Today. Really awaking and gave answers to my personal inner calls 🙏🙏
Young generation need to know.
The video relives the life of Sri Aurobindo.It covers only the first half of his life which can be called as "Non yogic life" .The later transformation from a freedom fighter to a yogi and a rishi of the highest order,is not shown.Perhaps it is too difficult to catch the subtle experiences of a great yogi who raised himself up to the level of supramental consciousness. It was to the credit of the mother that his subtle,unseen yogic powers could be brought down to our level and served.I am sure that if a second part of the life of Sri Aurobindo is made,mother will play a pivotal role.

Awesome work done. Start till end I was emotional and tears rolled down my cheeks!!! Though I know the history of Sri Aurobindo Ghosh and The Mother, also I am a member of Sri Aurobindo Society, I am also a regular visitor to Puducherry, and also read the book "Tales of Prison Life" as well as "Uttarpara Speech", I am spell bound and speechless seeing this film. Thanks to the team for such an effort. Hats off for this and it is a true tribute on the 150th Birth Anniversary of the Master, the Rishi, the Spiritual Guru. Thanks Aurofilm and Aurobindo Society!!!!
Thank you so much
Sri Aurobindo is an Avatar 🙏. Impossible to narrate His life on earth. Nevertheless well done 👍 and congratulations to the entire team .
Yes, so it is.
@@kurtgostentschnigg4244 me by phone to me
you are right
Pranam to Sri Aurobindo bhagwan 🙏🙏🙏
Nice
Salutations to the production team Heart bleeds seeing what extremely inhuman torture our forefathers had undergone God bless those pious souls
Heart touching. Brought goosebumps. Thanks to the entire team. Request a part 2 documentory, about what happened after he came to pondicherry and about all his writings. 🙏💐
Best movie ❤️🥰❤️
Lovely history of Sri Aurobindo’s early life in India - why is there no mention of his prolific transformational works and epic poem Savitri?! Conspicuous by its absence.
Thankyou so much Ellen. The focus of this film is revolving only around the 1 year from 1908 to 1909 when he was in the jail in Alipore and the incidents that led to it untill his release.
Kudos to such a extremely well compiled audio-visual documentary cum repository on the life, works and lesson from Shri Aurobindo !! Excellently researched, beautifully narrated in voice and visuals, backed by superb piece of editing and referencing !!
True transformation...🙏🙏🙏
Enlightening video. Superb
🙏🙏🙏
Superb production. Excellent research work. Best choice of location. Smart presentation. Thanks to the director and the whole team for making such a documentary.

Namaskar... so many Thanks to Sri Aurobindo Society , Puducherry. can this film be dubbed in regional languages..? Indeed it is very appropriate Homage on the occassion of the 75th Anniversary of Our
Freedom. Again Pranam to Sjt Abhijit Dasguptaji and entire Team .
Excellent short bio.
Grateful.
congratulations for the whole teamgood effort.
self transformation leads to the world transformation. Vande matharam.
🙏🙏🙏🌺🌺
Excellent.
I'm in a state of awe!
The film leaves one speechless. Even after having read all of the details several times there is still something deeply moving and transformative when one experiences the story being told through such a medium as this film. Deep respects and gratitude for everyone involved in this tribute to the Supramental Avatar, the rishi poet of patriotism, prophet of nationalism , lover of humanity and the bringer of divine life. 🙏🙏
A good one!
Excellent Production . Effects of hard work , patriotism and divinity . Thankyou .
Lovely, superb presentation. Sorry to mention that the surname of great revolutionary Prafulla babu was Chaki not Chakravarti. Thank you all for this film....
There r 2 people . He mentioned chaki who shot himself at mokama. Chakraborty was an accomplice of Barin ghosh
Mr. Basu.... I think you have missed the portion of narration where the incident at Mokama Junction was stated..... Prafullya Chaki and Prafullya Chakraborty were two different person...
Well executed.Very enjoyable
The org is raisin awareness of Sri Aurobino jus as i am suddenly determined to kn & understand him...begs d ques whts d direction of civilation n humanity today...?
Thank you. In the primary we were teached a lot about the second World war,about the resistance(the partisans).
We were Titos Pioneers,learned sbout the equality of the races and the sharing,
India and Yugoslawias Presidents were friends.In the Gym we learned the differences of our sozialism to capitalism.Whole my life I felt ashamed to be a "white" European acouse of the history of the colonialism,searched a company of the Indians,Latinos,Africans.
Only to learn that I as a white,and not of the same religions,am not of a same clan.
The same has been my live as an Jugo in the Swiss..second class people..
So, from 1991-1997 there was the last war in Ex Jugoslawia:catholics, moslem
s against orthodox.I am of mixed religios origin.I commit herewith, I am traumatized from the history.I am now learning to stand above it all,being neutral,even if this is hard sometimes..
The European resistance had no Krishna on their side...America sended help to the Europe and Russia.
India is big, important spiritual portal.
Raja,you're an excellent filmmaker,and teacher.Strong and beautifull presence of another dimensions in this Film
I am from India, ....brother have you gone through the books or Sri Aurobindo or Swami Vivekananda ???

About Sri Aurobindo.
What was the reason for the Alipore Bomb Case?
Digital District Repository Detail | Digital District ...
Held at the Alipore Sessions Court in Calcutta, the trial spanned from May 1908 to May 1909. The case emerged in the after of an assassination attempt on Presidency Magistrate Douglas Kingsford in Muzaffarpur by Bengali nationalists Khudiram Bose and Prafulla Chaki in April 1908.
Sri Aurobindo the God head
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for this 🙏
why only 20k views ...why not more?
Just like ...in order to learn Higher Mathematics...students need to know basic arithmetics, in order to read and write any literature a person should know the language letters and grammar, in order to paint a picture people should understand the basic shapes....
In the same way in order to know about such Great Souls people should have the basic understanding of what the "independence" is , what is the history of our freedom movement, how it was fought, what was the inspiration.... After that comes the social and polical scenario.... And then comes the part of spiritual aspects and philosophy ... Is it easy Bro ??
For most of us.... INDEPENDENCE DAY has become a public holiday where we plan for day trip, party, picnic, drinks, Masti, anti Pakistan military movie...and that's all...one life time is short to understand people like sri Aurobindo and swami Vivekananda...

Mokama should also be named after Prafulla Chaki.
How long does it take to learn Bengali?
Is this me😅 34:55
Et cetera censeo divisio INDIAE, the partition, esse finiandum. There is no greater man in this world than Sri Aurobindo who together with the Mother brought the new consciousness, the supramental consciousness to this world. He told us that the partition has to go in order to avoid a desaster in India. So what is India doing today ? There is a curious atmosphere in India which I remarked when I visited Pondicherry in 1965. There is a complete lack of responsibility for the people. The worst infrastructure of the enemy, the education system favoring the rich, was continued. In my country Germany we copied the French education concept making all education from the cradle, kindergarten, school and university free of cost. I need not mention driving on the wrong side using troy ounce, inch instead of mm, cm, m and km. What is needed is a new leader bring the best to India what is all established elsewhere and more.
The filmmaker made this into a nationalistic political documentary and ignored the later years when Aurobindo transcended politics and dedicated himself to enlightenment. Interesting nevertheless.
Thank you for the feedback. The focus of this particular film was to cover the period between 1908 - 1909, only the one year of Sri Aurobindo's life and the events revolving around that period when He was in jail in Alipore.
@@aurosocietypondy Ok very interesting! Is there a documentary for the later period?
The voice of the one who speaks as Aurobindo Ghosh [probably Ashok Vishwanathan] is too loud for aesthetic appropriateness. His diction is also affected to mimic the Englishman and, as is to be expected, a poor caricature.
