About Us
World Union is a registered society having its headquarters in Pondicherry, India. It was established in the year 1960 with the blessings of the Mother (Mirra Alfassa of Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Pondicherry) based on the 3rd Dream (vision) of Sri Aurobindo – “A world-union forming the outer basis of a fairer, brighter and nobler life for all mankind” – primarily inspired by his books - The ideal of human unity and The Human Cycle.
With this background and legacy, World Union endeavours to foster in all people the Consciousness of Oneness of life and the essential “soul-unity” of humanity.
Its goal is a collective rise in the level of consciousness unifying the human race until soul-based unity becomes the basic consciousness for the whole of humanity.

Studies
Consciousness is a fundamental thing, the fundamental thing in existence - it is the energy, the motion, the movement of consciousness that creates the universe and all that is in it - not only the macrocosm but the microcosm is nothing but consciousness arranging itself.
~ Sri Aurobindo in the Book "Life Divine"
Your world is limited to what you have in your consciousness. If you have a very small consciousness, you will understand only a few things.
~ The Mother (CWM-5)

স্বাধীনতা দিবস উদযাপন ও শ্রী অরবিন্দের জন্মদিবস
শ্রী অরবিন্দ শুধুমাত্র একাধারে দার্শনিক হিসেবে মানুষের অস্তিত্বের আধ্যাত্মিকরূপ নিয়েই পর্যালোচনা করেননি, তিনি রাজনৈতিক পরিকল্পনার মাধ্যমে মানবজাতির সমন্বয়সাধন সম্ভব করতে এবং এই বিশ্বেই ঊর্ধ্বচেতনাকে উপনীত করার জন্য কয়েকপ্রকার কার্যকর পদ্ধতির বর্ণনা দিয়েছেন। শ্রী অরবিন্দের লেখা প্রবন্ধে 'The Human Cycle, The Ideal of Human Unity, War and Self-determination', তিনি মানবজাতির ঐক্য সাধনের আদর্শকে তুলে ধরার জন্য এক সুদৃঢ় পরিকল্পনার বিবরণ দিয়েছেন।
শ্রী অরবিন্দ বিশ্বাস করতেন যে বর্তমানযুগে 'The Ideal of Human Unity' অল্পবিস্তর নিজের মতো করেই
আমাদের মনের মধ্যে নিজের রাস্তা তৈরি করে নিয়েছে। শ্রী অরবিন্দ শুধুমাত্র এক বৃহত্তর সামাজিক ও
রাজনৈতিক একতাকে অনুসরণ করেননি, তিনি এক অন্যতম মতাদর্শ প্রদান করেছেন, তা হল
"সমষ্টিগত জীবন, আনন্দদায়ক, পরিবর্তনশীল"।
