A4A FLIER – 21st FEBRUARY 2022

Sri Aurobindo predicted that India would play a key role for humanity’s spiritual future – and that a spiritual future
would be the only way forward. In this special “birthday month” of February, as we gather together in aspiration,
the ancient invocations continue to inspire us in our progress towards a more luminous future. Version française en pdf … பிடிஎஃப்பில் தமிழ்ப் பதிப்பு

LFAU LETTER – 21st FEBRUARY 2022

Auroville is meant to develop into and emerge as a broad, unique, futuristic, universal township drawing light and inspiration from Sri Aurobindo’s evolutionary vision. It is a double-edged undertaking – with work to be done in the world, in matter – and with work to be done in consciousness, one’s own and the collectivity’s. In this year celebrating Sri Aurobindo’s 150th birth anniversary, we look at Auroville’s relevance to the realisation of the future he envisioned.

AUROVILLE LAND CONSOLIDATION & FUNDRAISING – HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES & MILESTONES

We are happy to present a historical perspective and the milestones of Auroville’s land consolidation and fundraising over the decades, as compiled by long-time fundraiser, Aryadeep. In it, he pays tribute to the many people – Aurovilians, government officials, eminent leaders – who have contributed their energy and devotion to the cause of Auroville’s land. Donor generosity has always played a major role. With 10% of the City and over 50% of the Green Belt still missing, the task isn’t over!

CHARLIE & THE HISTORY OF AUROGREEN – CONVERSATIONS WITH SUZIE

Aurogreen, started by Charlie in 1975, is an inspiring Auroville success story. One of the oldest farms, it is the first to be organic. In these conversations between AV pioneers Charlie and Suzie, we get a glimpse of the immense challenges of these early days – and the ingenuity it took to succeed. We are grateful to Charlie for sharing the Aurogreen adventure and for his 47 years of intensive work.
