Dear friends and benefactors of Auroville’s bright future,
We are happy to present the new November 2022 issue of our quarterly land fundraisers’ newsletter. Our dedicated goal is to create awareness of the need to consolidate and complete Auroville’s physical base and thereby raise the needed funds for this essential action.
Our quarterly reports are published on the occasion of four milestones in the lives and evolutionary yoga of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. Your offerings to Auroville are greatly appreciated and are rooted in your deep goodwill and solidarity. Our newsletters keep you in touch with Auroville, provide news and also serve as reminders of our common goal – they are what we call Goodwill Activation Points and unite us on the journey of building Auroville.
Over the now 9 years since we started the newsletter we have enriched its content. From a mere encouraging flier and a letter of inspiration, it has grown to provide profiles of pioneering long-time Aurovilians, and today’s aspiring newcomers, information about significant solidarity actions, and striking quotes from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, along with updates on land consolidation. Our next February 21st issue will share the details of the latest good news concerning new Auroville land !
In this issue, the A4A flier presents Sri Aurobindo and The Mother’s visions of the way ahead accompanied by a photo of a pathway in Auroville’s new Garden of the Unexpected; the LFAU letter with its perspectives on the current Auroville events; the rich and enriching life path of newcomer Tia Pleiman; and the journey to and in Auroville of Paul Vincent who has spent 50 years in service to the Mother’s vision. His story will prove once again the existence and workings of the secret Will we speak about in the LFAU letter. We finish this special 150th year with the text of Sri Aurobindo’s landmark “Five Dreams” broadcast on India’s Independence Day, 15th August 1947.
1. Acres for Auroville Flier – 24th November 2022
Auroville was created to be a first pathway towards a spiritual future. Inspired by Sri Aurobindo’s evolutionary vision of a “progressing universal harmony”. The Mother stated “Auroville is the place where this new way of living is being worked out”. And because the way forward is “a completely new road”. The Mother called it the “Great Adventure” – inviting us to help build this pioneering path and progressively advance together, step by precious and often difficult step!

2. LFAU Letter – 24th November 2022
These are turbulent times in the world, as well as in Auroville. And in these heightened times, we keep faith, helped by remembering the long-term view, and also by what is the secret of Auroville: the deeper soul connection that has brought most Aurovilians to Auroville and which connects friends and donors to Auroville. We are together – united at a deeper level – and sharing a common hope, a common vision and a common adventure.

3. A Whole Life Dedicated to Auroville – By Paul Vincent
Arriving in 1972, Auroville pioneer Paul Vincent has spent the past 50 years in dedicated service to The Mother’s vision. Starting in childhood, he was led through unexpected events to a deep spiritual search and his Auroville destiny. He started his life in Auroville as a carpenter. Paul has set up four Auroville communities, worked on forest creation, architecture with Roger Anger, security and tsunami relief, the Master Plan, land protection, and more. We are pleased to share Paul’s rich story and his life of contributions. Click here for the complete article.
4. The Road to the Life I Always Desired – By Tia Pleiman
Tia Pleiman is an American art therapist and educator who “fell in love” with Auroville in 2006, where she discovered The Mother and Sri Aurobindo whose works expanded and transformed her life and work. She has contributed over the years to several Auroville and AV outreach schools, and is now an official “Newcomer”. For Tia, Auroville provides the “creative, spiritual, multi-cultural, educational and environmental qualities” of the life she has always desired. Please click here for the complete article.
5. Sri Aurobindo’s Five Dreams!
Very significantly, India attained its independence on the 15th of August 1947, Sri Aurobindo’s 75th birth anniversary. On that historic occasion, All India Radio requested Sri Aurobindo to give a message to a free India, broadcast on the transitional night of August 14th. In this message Sri Aurobindo spoke of his “Five Dreams” – for India, humanity, and the world. To finish this landmark 150th year, we share Sri Aurobindo’s historic message. Please click here.
