According to Sri Aurobindo, perpetual youth is one of the characteristics of the Spirit
and The Mother enshrined the goals of “youth that never ages” and “constant progress” in the Auroville Charter.
How can we live these ideals, personally and collectively, to build a true City of Dawn?

For 51 years, the City of Dawn has flowered step by step, serving and showcasing the oneness of the Human Family in its rich diversity. For Sri Aurobindo, the unification of mankind was “a necessity in the course of Nature, an inevitable movement”. Auroville was created by The Mother to create a place for the “international spirit and outlook” that Sri Aurobindo said must grow up, in line with his great teaching that “all the nations are essentially one…” and that “Truth lies in union rather than in division”.

The task before the first Aurovilians was to reclaim the eroded land and plant the seeds of the future. In the endless progression of Auroville, we are all pioneers continuing the adventure!

“Auroville will be the site of material and spiritual researches for a living embodiment of an actual Human Unity”. The City of Dawn’s high aspiration incarnates the deep sense of what we can live and be.

“One must have heroism to be a precursor for, generally, men have faith only in what is already accomplished … These words carry great relevance for the manifestation of a new world, and of Auroville!

The Matrimandir is Auroville’s most valued creation, and it is cared for with dedication and courage! The Mother wrote: “Let the Matrimandir be the living symbol of Auroville’s aspiration for the Divine” – “manifesting in a progressive human unity”.
