Bhaskar Mukhopadhyay, scholar and a researcher on Sri Aurobindo, spoke on the significance of consecration of the relics.
Sri Aurobindo came to Chandannagore, which was then a French colony, on 21 February, 1910 after being acquitted from the Alipore bomb case. He stayed at various places for more than a month. Finally, he left for Puducherry on 31 March, 1910.
Chandannagore was a seat of the revolutionary movement. There were various secret organizations and bomb manufacturing units. Sir Charles Teggart, the famous police commissioner of Calcutta had visited Chandannagore but could not unearth a single bomb manufacturing unit.
