HAPPY NEW YEAR 2025!
Dear friends of Auroville’s bright future,
The year 2025 is upon us! We, at the land fundraising team, take this occasion to create a New Year’s card with the idea and hope to bring out something of Auroville’s inspiration and its profound goal of human unity and spiritual evolution.
This year, we present images of the Matrimandir – the heart and soul of Auroville, and the manifestation of decades of dedicated commitment by Aurovilians and friends in support of that goal. The photos have been offered by Auroville photographer and architect Lalit Kishore Bhati.
The first page of our 2025 card shows a rainbow over the Matrimandir, accompanied by two extracts from Sri Aurobindo’s messages and writings: “A rainbow dream, a hope for golden change!” and “The rainbow is a sign of peace and deliverance.”
The picture on the 2nd page brings in the human element – a seeker in meditation below the branches of the Banyan Tree before the golden discs of the Matrimandir. The accompanying message from the Mother is worth remembering again and again, as it reads:
“The Matrimandir wants to be the symbol of the Divine’s answer to man’s aspiration for perfection. Union with the Divine manifesting in a progressive human unity.”
These lines express the secret of and the path towards true human unity.
The Matrimandir reminds us that we are participating in a progressive manifestation for that goal, and the third page of our card carries two assurances in the quotes from Savitri that this progression is not just an ideal, human dream or aspiration, but a real emerging reality and a fundamental evolutionary fact.
“A new creation from the old shall rise…The Eternal’s wonders join the dance of Time.”
And on page 4, with the 2025 calendar and quote references, we have The Mother’s practical reminder about being “a burning fire for progress”.
As always, we plan to send you a hard copy of the attached card. Please contact us If you have changed your postal address in the past year – or – if you don’t want to receive the card by post. In either case, please send us an email to lfau@auroville.org.in with the following choice of subject line, as the case may be:
– either: “My new postal address” – and include your current address in the body of the text
– or : “Don’t send 2025 card by post”
With warm appreciation, we are wishing you a light-filled transition to the new year ahead!
