Appearance
Uttarapara Speech is a famous speech on the subject of the Hindu religion delivered by Sri Aurobindo at the Uttarpara town in Bengal on 30th May 1909.
Sri Aurobindo had just been released from prison after an year's isolated incarceration. His arrest and acquittal followed the Alipore bomb case.
The speech was his first and as it would turn out, his last public speech. He retired from active politics a few months after this event. The speech dealt at length with the essence of Hindu thought and aims of the Hindu religion. It is considered valuable for understanding Hinduism and Sanatana Dharma as envisaged by Sri Aurobindo.
