May 16 is the birth anniversary of beloved Jyotipriya, the founder of Sri Aurobindo Center of Los Angeles. Sri Aurobindo, her spiritual Guru, in whom she had taken refuge, gave her the name “Lover of Light” (Jyotipriya). This day every year fills us with gratitude for giving shape to the flame that is the Center, which inspires all connected with it towards a greater self-giving to the Divine. The luminous example of her life given to the service of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo shines as a guiding light to all aspirants.
