The Sri Aurobindo Society’s Chengalpattu Centre (Relics Branch – TB.05) was started on 4th April 2000 and became officially affiliated with the Sri Aurobindo Society, Pondicherry in 2010. The Centre actively functions through its two branches – one in Chengalpattu town, operating from a rented space, and the other at Othivakkam village, which has its own building, located about 9 km from Chengalpattu.

A major highlight is the Golden Day Darshan on 28th February, celebrated once every four years, where around 250 devotees travel together by bus to Pondicherry to participate in the Room Darshan at the Ashram. The Centre also celebrates the birthdays of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother every year with devotion and participation from the local community.
The Centre is well-organized with dedicated groups such as the Women’s Council (25 members), the Children’s Corner (35 children under 15 years), and the Youth Wing (15 student members). These groups contribute actively to the spiritual, cultural, and community-building activities of the Centre.
