Luckily for us, some precious parts of his body like hair, nails, have been preserved by Champakalji who was personally attending on him. They were collected and preserved down the years with tender care and love. The Mother has charged them further with additional supramental force so that they may communicate their consciousness to all without fail. It is these parts of Sri Aurobindo’s person that are now cherished and carried to distant shrines as Relics. Where these Relics are, there Sri Aurobindo’s physical presence is. We have experienced this even in far off places like London, Florida, where the Relics have been established in special shrines.
It is not enough to open such shrines. The special atmosphere created by the Relics must be tended, preserved, by the devotees.
They have to contribute their aspiration, purity and consecration so as to guard the sanctity against dilution, pollution. Sri Aurobindo is physically present in these Centres and it is a great responsibility to uphold the sanctity by maintaining high standards of purity around. Sri Aurobindo Shrine is not in the common run of a temple looked after by a priest. It is vibrant focus of a special spiritual Force that has been brought down from the world of Light on Earth to guide and lead its Journey to the Sun of Truth. Properly tended, the Shrine grows in its radiation, it remains ever-new.
