Arriving in 1972, Auroville pioneer Paul Vincent has spent the past 50 years in dedicated service to The Mother’s vision. Starting in childhood, he was led through unexpected events to a deep spiritual search and his Auroville destiny. He started his life in Auroville as a carpenter. Paul has set up four Auroville communities, worked on forest creation, architecture with Roger Anger, security and tsunami relief, the Master Plan, land protection, and more. We are pleased to share Paul’s rich story and his life of contributions.

Tia Pleiman is an American art therapist and educator who “fell in love” with Auroville in 2006, where she discovered The Mother and Sri Aurobindo whose works expanded and transformed her life and work. She has contributed over the years to several Auroville and AV outreach schools, and is now an official “Newcomer”. For Tia, Auroville provides the “creative, spiritual, multi-cultural, educational and environmental qualities” of the life she has always desired.

Very significantly, India attained its independence on the 15th of August 1947, Sri Aurobindo’s 75th birth anniversary. On that historic occasion, All India Radio requested Sri Aurobindo to give a message to a free India, broadcast on the transitional night of August 14th. In this message Sri Aurobindo spoke of his “Five Dreams” – for India, humanity, and the world. To finish this landmark 150th year, we share Sri Aurobindo’s historic message.

It is a revelation from deeper realities of world existence – a sunlight shining over the future where things become visible in their truth of things. The challenge now is to live and embody this revelation. Version française en pdf … பிடிஎஃப்பில் தமிழ்ப் பதிப்பு
