Sri Aurobindo — Patel, Govindbhai

March 10, 1932

If by Centres you mean “Chakras” these are seven:

1. The thousand-petalled lotus on the top of the head.

2. In the middle of the forehead — the Ajna-Chakra — (Will, Vision, Dynamic Thought). It is not called the psychic eye.

3. Throat-Centre — Externalizing mind.

4. Heart-lotus — Emotional Centre in front, Psychic behind it.

5. Navel — Higher Vital (Proper) Centre.

6. Below Navel — Lower Vital Centre.

7. Muladhar — Physical Centre.

All the Centres are in the middle of the body, not on left or right; they are supposed to be attached to the spinal cord; but in fact all these things are in the Sukshma Deha, though one has the feeling of their activities as if in the physical body when the consciousness is awake.
