24 April 2025 – The day of The Mother’s permanent return to India
Today, 105 years ago, – The Mother, the inspiration source for Auroville – returned to India, to Pondicherry for good. From the viewpoint of the spiritual evolution upon earth, her return was of crucial importance because through that, Sri Aurobindo’s work of world transformation then acquired the new dimension of certainty, a new energy of success. Today, the world is in the throes of change and transformation and, we believe, this could be best interpreted in the light of Mother’s vision of Auroville.
Like every significant undertaking, Auroville has two major sides: the physical, outer, visible side and the side of ideas, ideals, visions, and inspirations. The success of Auroville means that both sides need to be developed: the physical, the outer, the visible side is fully realised in the sense that the central area called Peace is in place, with Matrimandir, its gardens, the lake, the tall tree on the periphery; then the four zones, viz Residential, Industrial, International, and Cultural; and finally, a developed Green Belt comprising life-nourishing, health-enhancing projects of a diverse variety. In all this, the latest innovations in building construction, architecture, technology, and modern knowledge in health, medicine, and education must be integrated with a conscious intention and aspiration to make Matter a vehicle to manifest the spirit. After all, the ideas, the ideals, the visions, and inspiration of Auroville can be summed up in a short extract from The Mother:
“…bring back
the legitimate authority of the Spirit
over a matter fully developed and utilised”.
(Ref. CWTM, V. 12, p. 249)
The present moment, called by Sri Aurobindo “The Hour of God”, is especially favourable, even, destined to prepare Matter for the manifestation of the Spirit. The advent of the internet, AI, and many other new technologies has generated intense curiosity and debate about the future of human life and, in that context, the purpose of human life. We believe that Auroville offers sensible and inspiring answers to many of those questions in the light of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. That is why Auroville should take a high place in the emerging future. But that will be possible when both sides of Auroville – material and spiritual – are beautifully realised, integrated, and manifested.
By securing & safeguarding the material base of Auroville in the form of land, we secure the physical side of Auroville and that in turn open up the chances for the spirit of Auroville to find, flourish, and establish a firm footing in Matter.
With trust in Auroville’s bright future,
