The story of Auroville can be understood as 5 decades of trial and effort for “the growth of light” and “the struggle towards better things”. Starting with a scarcity of resources of any kind, today we see a healthy, multi-pronged international community striving for a sunlit vision of the future.
The land fundraising team is active on many fronts! Here’s an encouraging panorama of all our latest actions.
By popular request, the A4A campaign video for the “50th Birthday gift of land” is now enhanced with music by Nadaka. Join us in building a precious gift for Auroville!
Seventy years ago, Sri Aurobindo wrote a message that was broadcast on All India Radio for India’s Independence. He wrote of his long-cherished dreams, two of which relate to the Auroville vision. Auroville exists to incarnate these 2 dreams, and Acres for Auroville exists to provide the land!
August 15th marks the completion of Acres for Auroville’s third year. Thanks to donations, A4A again reached its goal, providing funds for 15 new plots to date. As we start Year 4, A4A is the indispensable resource for the Land Board’s vital work!
Vital parts of land of the ‘Auroville Master Plan’ are still missing from the Township’s needed physical base. For Auroville’s 50th anniversary on February 28th 2018, we are planning a special birthday gift of gratitude – the gift of land!
Acres for Auroville donations have helped secure 10.36 new Greenbelt acres! The International Advisory Council officially expresses appreciation for A4A’s work.
Annapurna Farm is Auroville’s biggest farm – its focus is organic rice and millet production as well as being Auroville’s largest dairy – today the only certified organic dairy in South India.
Hermitage is located on the extreme end of the Auroville “galaxy”, consisting of approximately 74 acres. Primarily canyon land, Hermitage is a starkly beautiful landscape and now home to a rich variety of wildlife. The steward of this land, Bernd, says, “When I became steward of Hermitage in 1989 there was hardly any grass cover worth the name, – let alone biodiversity in fauna and flora! Looking back, Hermitage has evolved tremendously. Stewarding this Auroville land has been so very satisfying that I would do it again. I created a forest!”
Auroville Radio & AuroImage have joined with A4A to bring you this page of links to February’s inspiring talks and fabulous concerts held as land fundraisers at Auroville’s Unity Pavilion. We wish you happy viewing & listening!
