Sri Krishna and Sri Aurobindo: The Ecstasy of Union | Siddhi Day Centenary (1926–2026)

Sri Aurobindo's two poems on Krishna, his own Thoughts and Aphorisms on Krishna and Kali, and the Mother's account of a golden Krishna — a devotional film for the centenary of Siddhi Day, 24 November 1926. #SriAurobindo #Krishna #SiddhiDay "Since before memory began, Krishna has been sung by poets and adored by devotees. But for Sri Aurobindo, he was more than a god of old stories — he was a living Presence, met in vision, in thought, and at last, in realization." This is a journey from Krishna the Beloved, through Krishna the Friend, the Playmate, the Master of Life, towards a moment when the Divine Presence was felt upon Earth in a new way — the day Krishna Consciousness itself descended to earth, one hundred years ago.
