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”.

Auroville has always put an emphasis on a health-inducing environment, treatments and healing – traditional, conventional, and holistic – in line with The Mother’s advice that a way to progress, is to “constantly enrich the possibilities … and ceaselessly perfect” the functioning of our physical instrument.” Version française en pdf … பிடிஎஃப்பில் தமிழ்ப் பதிப்பு
As we step into A4A’s 7th year of collective unity and dynamism, we share land news and acts of solidarity, inspired by The Mother’s words for the «Success of Auroville » flower: « Power of Success – the power of those who know how to continue their efforts» | Tamil: 2020 ஆகஸ்டு ஏக்கர்ஸ் ஃபார் ஆரோவில் | French: A4A Rapport Trimestriel – 15.8.20
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. (English, French, and Tamil versions)
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)

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.

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.
AUROIMAGE- in collaboration with A4A – has created a new video clip “Solidarity for the Land of Auroville” with music by Nadaka, available in English and in French.
