ஆரோவில் தொடங்கியதிலிருந்து, அதனைச் சுற்றியுள்ள கிராமங்களின் இளைஞர்களுக்கு அது ஒரு ஈர்ப்புச் சக்தியாக இருந்து வருகிறது. ஆரோவில் திட்டத்தில் பலர் சேர்ந்து, ஆரோவில் வாழ்வில் திறமையான செயற்பாட்டளராக ஆகியுள்ளனர். 1996-இல் ஆரோவில்லின் பிறந்தநாள் அன்று இடையன்சாவடி கிராமத்தில் பிறந்த பூவிழி, ஆரோவில்லில் சேர முடிவு செய்துள்ளார். புதிதாய்ச்சேர்ந்தோருக்கான யுக்கா நிகழ்ச்சிக்காக, ராக்கலுடனான அவருடைய நேர்காணலில், கடந்த 50 ஆண்டுகளாக ஆரோவில்லிற்கும் கிராமங்களுக்கும் உள்ள நெருங்கிய தொடர்புகளையும், பல கிராம இளைஞர்களுக்கு ஆரோவில் ஆற்றிய ஊக்கமளிக்கும் பங்குபணி பற்றியும் நாம் காண்கிறோம்.

In 1910, Sri Aurobindo found safe refuge in Pondicherry , initiating a series of events that have impacted the world consciousness and its future. We are happy to provide historical narrative of how and under what circumstances Sri Aurobindo moved to Pondicherry.
April is the Victory month for Sri Aurobindo and The Mother, with decades of significant April events, starting with Sri Aurobindo’s arrival to a safe haven in Pondicherry on April 4th 1910. This year, April 24th marks the 100th anniversary of The Mother’s final arrival back in India for her collaboration with Sri Aurobindo. Peacocks, the sign of success, were seen both in front of Sri Aurobindo’s statue and on The Mother’s balcony.
Auroville has been developing new paradigms of society based on alternative, spiritual, and progressive ideals. Now, in a special study and dissertation, The City of Dawn is recognized for “its exceptional combination of longevity, size, scope of activity, recognition, aims and experimental ethos”.

Frederick first came to India in 1959 when he was 20 and met The Mother, a “life-changing experience”. In 1966, he settled in the Ashram, surrendering himself and all his material belongings. He began working for Auroville’s inauguration and at The Mother’s request, he built the community’s first permanent house. One of the original pioneers, he shares what The Mother personally told him about the deep importance of the land for the City of Dawn.
Since its start, Auroville has been a magnet for the youth of the villages around. Many have joined the project to become talented actors in Auroville life. Poovizhi, born in Edayanchavadi on Auroville’s birthday in 1996, has decided to join Auroville. In her interview with Rakhal of the YUCCA Newcomer Program, we see the close links of the past 50 years, and the inspiring role Auroville has played for so many village youth.
Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry Dr. Kiran Bedi again honoured Auroville with her invitation to hold a week-long continuation of Art for Land 2020 at the Governor’s mansion in Puducherry, inaugurated on the Golden Day of February 29th. The Inauguration’s highlight was the performance by Svaram’s Sound Experience and its rhythmic magic! (the video links are included).
