The Day of Victory
November 24th holds profound significance in the spiritual calendar as the day when Sri Aurobindo experienced the descent of Krishna into his body in 1926. This historic event is commemorated as Siddhi Day, also known as the Day of Victory, symbolising the triumph of divine consciousness over the limitations of the human mind and body.
For followers of Sri Aurobindo and the Integral Yoga, Siddhi Day is not just a remembrance of a historical event—it is a celebration of spiritual attainment, inner transformation, and the potential of human evolution. On this day, devotees reflect on the journey of consciousness, acknowledging the possibilities of aligning the material with the spiritual, the finite with the infinite.
This year, Siddhi Day carries added significance as it leads toward the centenary of this sacred day in 2026, marking 100 years since this extraordinary spiritual event. It is a time for the spiritual community to come together, honouring the path laid out by Sri Aurobindo and reaffirming their commitment to self-realisation and the evolution of consciousness.
In honour of Siddhi Day, Savitri Bhavan releases its biannual publication, Invocation (Study Notes on Savitri) on 24th November. The publication offers deep insights into Sri Aurobindo’s epic poem Savitri, helping seekers explore the subtle nuances of spiritual life and consciousness. Readers can also access past issues and subscribe to receive new editions as they are published.
Siddhi Day reminds us that spiritual victory is not only a historic milestone but a living, personal journey. It calls on each of us to awaken our inner potential, harmonise our outer and inner lives, and aspire toward the highest expression of human and divine consciousness.
