Animated films on the vision of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother
Evolution Fast-forward
Towards a New Species
“Man is a transitional being.”Sri Aurobindo
The Mother & Sri Aurobindo
Sri Aurobindo and The Mother pioneered a revolutionary vision: that human evolution is not merely biological but a continuous unfolding of consciousness. They saw that just as life emerged from matter and mind from life, humanity is poised for a further leap – the manifestation of a “Supramental” consciousness.
Their path-breaking work, Integral Yoga, offers a practical path for this inner transformation. It’s not about escaping the world, but transforming it from within.

Donations
Support Our Labour of Love
Sopanam, part of Auroville’s Purnam Community, creates and shares 3D motion graphics animation films on the wisdom of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother—offered freely to all.
Bringing these films to life is a labour-intensive process that blends creativity, technical skill, and countless hours of heartfelt dedication from our core and extended team. Every project—scriptwriting, storyboarding, animation, music composition, recording, editing—requires persistent effort and resources.
This work is made possible through donations and grants. If our work inspires you, your donation can help cover the real costs behind each film and allow us to reach more seekers worldwide.

Going further
If the films speak to you, there is a way to take them further.
Manoj Pavithran, who made these films, also guides Purnam in Auroville with Divyanshi Chugh. It is a community of seekers learning Sri Aurobindo's Karmayoga together and trying, day by day, to bring it into their work, homes and everyday choices.
“All life is Yoga.” Sri Aurobindo
