 The Ashram
This is done through work, for the Ashram is visibly and primarily a place of karma yoga, a self perfection through action of devotion and service to the Divine and the Divine in the greater community through bhakti yoga, based on the growing knowledge of what we are, which is the essence of jnana yoga.
The focus of community life is the Ashram main building, usually called simply "the Ashram", which consists of an interconnected block of houses, including those in which Sri Aurobindo and the Mother dwelt for most of their lives.
In the sadhana or spiritual discipline at the Ashram, there are no obligatory practices, no rituals, no compulsory meditations or systematic instructions in Yoga.
