24 November is celebrated in the Aurobindonian community as the ‘Siddhi Day’.

On 24 November 1926, after a major spiritual realization, Sri Aurobindo withdrew from public view in order to continue his spiritual work. At this time he handed over the full responsibility for the inner and outer lives of the sadhaks (spiritual aspirants) and the ashram to his spiritual collaborator, "The Mother", earlier known as Mirra Alfassa. This date is therefore generally known as the founding-day of the ashram, though, as Sri Aurobindo himself wrote, it had "less been created than grown around him as its centre

On the Darshan day of 24th November, we celebrate the anniversary of the descent of the Overmental Consciousness and the founding of Sri Aurobindo Ashram. The Card distributed in the Ashram on 24th November this year contains a beautiful letter of Sri Aurobindo on the Godhead immanent and above all disorder, ignorance, and contradictions, which is the basis of all spiritual endeavour.
