Swami Gitananda's Ananda Ashram in Pondicherry (1971)

Ashrams of India Volume 2 : Ananda Ashram/ICYER, a traditional ashram established in 1968 by Swami Gitananda and his American born wife Ammaji.

Excerpt from The India Trip (1971)    • The India Trip (1971)   A National Film Board of Canada documentary from 1971. This documentary is a portrait of modern-day Pondicherry, an ancient city near the southern tip of India. For several centuries an outpost of France, the city is now home to Auroville, a spiritual community growing on its periphery. There, European and North American devotees of Sri Aurobindo, a Bengali poet and mystic, come to live the contemplative life. Their guru is a 94-year-old woman from France. This mecca of sorts is seen through the eyes of Albert Jordan, a professor from Concordia University, in Montreal, who spent a year there with his family in 1971.
