Sri Aurobindo and The Mother shared so many helpful perspectives on human life, our personal roles, and the attitudes needed for being and acting in the world. Here are seven quotations from their talks and writings that can be a useful compass as we move ahead in turbulent times. We again thank MirraBliss and integral.sadhana@gmail.com for these sharings.
Our « February Birthday Month » newsletter brings you a rich array of interesting articles: our quarterly A4A flier and LFAU letter, a piece on the history and milestones in land purchase, an interview with pioneering Greenbelter, Charlie, who founded and developed Aurogreen, the inspiring path to the City of Dawn of new Aurovilian Helen, land solidarity via two new publications by longtime Aurovilians Anandi, and Joseph, and inspiring quotes for the Path. We thank you for your interest and continued collaboration.
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
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.

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!
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.
After years of forward-thinking professional work and idealistic service, personal trials, and solo travels throughout rural Asia, English-born Helen became an Aurovilian in early 2021, contributing her many skills and enthusiasm. “Auroville continues to fascinate me every single day. I feel lucky and inspired to be surrounded by so many people of such diverse backgrounds bound together through their passion to discover new ways to live.” Here we share her inspiring views and journey.

We are happy to announce that the stream of collaboration for A4A continues with the publication of « Reflections upon Psycho-Spiritual Obstacles on the Journey to the Divine – an Insider’s View » by Dr. Joseph Vrinte, an Auroville resident from The Netherlands for the past twenty years. The book is a combination of a rewarding inquiry into the processes of Integral yoga and of integral psychology, and an inquiry into Auroville’s raison d’etre and relevance. The proceeds of the book’s sales go to Acres for Auroville to support land purchase, Dr. Joseph has also gifted several copies to land donors. We are very grateful to Joseph for his generous support for Auroville land !!
Here are seven inspiring quotations of wisdom and guidance on self-development – and on the aspiration that helps us have a compass and keep confidence during the process.
