Sri Aurobindo had significant relation with Baroda. Immediately after completing his education in England, he returned to India to join Baroda State Services and worked in administrative department, secretariat and finally as a professor and Vice-Principal of Baroda College. The very place where Aurobindo stayed in Baroda, now converted into a small musuem, meditation room and library. Its worth going for all those who have read about his work.
Sri Aurobindo Nivas is a beautiful capacious building built in red-bricks and mortar, has 23 big and small rooms and surrounding open land of about 55,000 sq.ft. During the Birth Centenary Celebration year of Sri Aurobindo. The Divine Mother kindly blessed the devotees at Baroda by granting Holy Relics of Sri Aurobindo which are enshrined on the open land of the building on 24-11-1972 and a Shrine is constructed over it. A small but beautiful garden and an open-air theatre and health center building are developed and maintained on the open land of the Memorial Building.
