Anchored in Matter, Auroville is non-separable from its land. Today, securing Auroville’s still-missing land is the urgent need. Since we can all see this need around us, we must all unite and act! As Sri Aurobindo wrote: “If you merely wait for things to happen, there is no reason why they should happen at all”

“The true spirit of Auroville is collaboration and must be more and more so. True collaboration paves the way to divinity.”
These words of the Mother are relevant for us all – for those of us who live in Auroville, or are associated from a distance. Collaboration is built on
essential pillars, of which Gratitude is one – gratitude for being able to serve a vision that leads to a better and nobler life for all.

November 24th 1926 was the date of Sri Aurobindo’s great siddhi or realization, opening the gates to a greater, spiritualized consciousness for Humanity and the promise of Spirit and Matter in harmony. Auroville is the designated place for pioneering Sri Aurobindo’s great vision, flowering step-by-inspiring step. But one step is still needed – completing its material body with urgently-needed land.

On April 24, 1920, the Mother arrived in Pondicherry to join Sri Aurobindo. For the next 30 years, the “united two” collaborated for the establishment of a new Consciousness for humanity and the Earth. The Mother then inaugurated Auroville to anchor this new spiritual Force in Matter and through land. As she declared: “There should be somewhere upon earth a place …”

“The true spirit of Auroville is collaboration and must be more and more so. True collaboration paves the way to divinity.” These words of the Mother are relevant for us all – for those of us who live in Auroville, or are associated from a distance. Collaboration is built on essential pillars, of which Gratitude is one – gratitude for being able to serve a vision that leads to a better and nobler life for all.
