Aumorto Senior Living

Aumorto is a Senior Living initiative of Sri Aurobindo Institute of Culture,a widely respected, not-for-profit organization working for over 40 years in Kolkata in the areas of education, research and cultural development with the highest standards of inte

Aumorto is conceived by Sri Aurobindo Institute of Culture and managed by Sri Aurobindo Sanjeevani Trust, Kolkata.

In Sri Aurobindo’s words “An outer activity as well as an inner change

is needed and it must be at once a spiritual, cultural, educational,

social and economical action” Sri Aurobindo Institute of Culture has been a second home for decades to people from all strata and walks of life, industrialists, academicians, litterateurs, artists, musicians etc.

Aumorto is conceived by Sri Aurobindo Institute of Culture. Based out

of Tollygunge in bustling South Kolkata, the institute exists since

1975 and has spawned numerous entities namely a reputed higher

secondary school, founded on the educational philosophy of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo, called The Future Foundation School ( ranked among the top 2 Day Co-educational Schools of the city and state by Education World); its forerunner Arun Nursery, the latter named and blessed by the Mother herself; Galerie La Mere, inspired by the fact that the Mother was an important painter from the impressionist school in turn of the 20th century France, hosting numerous exhibitions of celebrated and upcoming artists; Shakti Centre, one of Kolkata’s most well-rounded schools for music, art and craft, and blessed by the Mother. The premises from which we function has been described by the Mother as the Home of Grace and her house in Kolkata

Nowadays people lead busy lives, their careers warrant them to travel to other places, even other countries. They neither have the time nor the ability to take care of their ageing parents on a daily basis. Moreover, the parents, do not wish to relocate and adjust to different cultures in their advanced years. This problem is particularly acute in Kolkata. We understand the concern of our elders living alone in Kolkata. Here at Aumorto we strive to address their needs and meet their expectations.

Why Aumorto?

What Elders Need:-

An environment that is not stressful

A situation where daily needs are taken care of

Medical care

Company of like-minded people

Regular physical exercise

A balanced and nutritious diet

Possibility of engaging in social and cultural activities

Aumorto For Whom:-

People having 55+ years experience of life.

Those who want to stay in the lap of nature yet remain well connected with the charm of the city.

People who want to start a new innings in life, because their potential remains unfulfilled

People who have the ability to make a difference in others’ lives by way of community service.

People who want a smooth transition from their work to a personal sojourn where they can develop a sense of belonging through living in a community, yet enjoy privacy.

Objectives Of Aumorto:-

Aumorto is inspired by the ideals of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother.

People retiring at 60 years or thereabout feel that they have spent a lifetime in earning and raising a family and other material pursuits and have not given enough time and attention to knowing, realising and fulfilling themselves.

Aumorto proposes to bridge that gap so that those who desire can also partake of this unique experiment and live a longer and healthier, fulfilling and more meaningful life in harmony with the ecosystem and with the community.

Thus, what we are attempting to create is not an old age home or a hospice, as those terms are commonly understood, but an eco-system of an alternate way of living with a brighter, nobler purpose.
