“Slowly the light grows greater in the East …”
“Light is primarily a spiritual manifestation of a Divine Reality … and a manifestation of Force. Light is the
illumination from above and liberates the being from obscurity and darkness. It clarifies the consciousness
and works as a force and makes knowledge possible.” Sri Aurobindo
According to The Mother, the Matrimandir – the central building in Auroville – represents the Divine Consciousness and is “a place for trying to find one’s consciousness.” The Matrimandir is designed to receive and transmit light: in accordance with The Mother’s vision, the sun’s light enters the Inner Chamber and its ray strikes the crystal at the center – “the symbol of future realisations.” For her, connecting with this pure ray of manifesting, realising light was capital for she wrote: “There is only one recourse, it is to unite ourselves as perfectly as we can with the highest and purest light we can conceive of.”
Along with light, love was capital for The Mother: “To live in Love, by Love, for Love, indissolubly united to The highest manifestation.” And when speaking about Auroville in particular, she said “A wide movement of love is the only possible concrete for ‘building something else’”. For, as she has reminded us, “Humanity is not transformed. One should not forget it!”... and so “our aim is to realise the perfection of our being and to change the human animal into the divine man.” The year before Auroville was inaugurated, she gave this message: “Let us forget all that is dark and ugly in the past, in order to make us ready to receive the luminous future.”
Auroville has the honor of having built the Matrimandir through a long, intense labor of dedication. We and all who have contact with Matrimandir are privileged – to experience this living symbol of light and love, and feel its force that nourishes our aspiration for building this “something else”.
Acres for Auroville is dedicated to raising the funds to protect the environment of the
Matrimandir and finish the consolidation of Auroville’s surrounding Master Plan land
