Acres for Auroville

The cover of our 2021 card shows a panoramic drone view of the Auroville area at dawn, from the vantage point of Matrimandir. The inside pages carry a photo of a collective meditation summoning the New Year at the Pavilion of Tibetan Culture, along with deeply illuminating words of the Mother on Light.

November 24th 1926 – Sri Aurobindo’s “Siddhi (Realization) Day” – became the paving stone for Auroville’s creation 42 years later. The Mother described Auroville as “an attempt to achieve on earth a slightly more ideal life”. And she said, “Now is the time, it has to be done”.

We were much younger when the momentous 1968 event of the Inauguration of Auroville took place. Those who were there were deeply marked by the event and over the past 52 years, so many of us have helped Auroville grow, supporting The Mother’s great vision of the City of Dawn and the goal of implanting “the consciousness of the One” in the soil of the Earth.

The founding of Auroville took place with the endorsement of UNESCO and numerous countries in the world, thanks in part to the reach of Indian spirituality. Auroville has been welcomed and nourished in India and, in turn, Auroville nourishes the Indian renaissance. For A4A, completing Auroville’s physical base supports both Human Unity and the Indian Renaissance. (English, French, and Tamil versions)
