This 20-minute film with music traces The Mother’s life and work as an artist, from her youth in Paris, through her stays in Algeria and Japan, to her life in Pondicherry. It presents her paintings, sketches, and drawings from these periods, and works by the Ashramites she mentored, including Huta, who painted the work The Mother named “Spirit of Auroville”.
August 15th holds a distinctive place in human history. On this date, Sri Aurobindo took birth 146 years ago and 75 years later, India attained her freedom on the same date. And it is India that hosts Auroville and its role of pioneer in opening the collective consciousness to the truer consciousness. The Mother wrote that “Spiritual beauty has a contagious power”. As Auroville grows and manifests, a higher beauty will surely spread – through the spiritual power at work behind the City of Dawn.
Auroville is not just any place on the planet – it is a consecrated space for the growth of a truer consciousness. For 50 years, starting with barren soil, Auroville has created beauty where before there was none. Much of Auroville’s designated land – the material base for this work and beauty – is missing and at risk of being bought and used for private profit. The future of many missing plots is now up to us – together, we can make a difference!
We warmly salute the beautiful actions of solidarity for Auroville’s land by young teenagers from the Tibetan Village School of Dharamsala, during their recent stay at Auroville’s Pavilion of Tibetan Culture. May we all be inspired by their example!
During this year’s Art for Land’s closing ceremony, Aurovilian Loretta recited her poem “Auroville” that she wrote in 1972 at the Matrimandir Worker’s Camp. It is a moving reminder of the courage, work & aspiration of Auroville’s pioneers, and here it is in 7 languages!
Art for Land Year 3 ended its 6-week exhibition for Auroville’s land with a Gala event & fundraising dinner. Check out the high-energy Auroville Radio clip from the event with its great music, and the stirring recital of “Auroville” composed in 1971 in the Matrimandir Workers Camp.

In this landmark month of Febrary 2018, we remember the great vision and events behind the creation of Auroville 50 years ago this month. The Mother emphasized land as The City of Dawn’s essential material support in its role for a new world consciousness.
This month marks two highly significant dates – the 50th anniversary of Auroville’s inauguration as The City of Dawn and the 140th anniversary of The Mother’s birth. These events are not separate – Auroville is the manifestation of The Mother’s vision and work. Here is her vision for Auroville and for the advent of a new world.
“There should be somewhere upon earth” – and somewhere means land. We thank the over 600 land donors for the 46 new plots of AV land that were added in the last 3 years!
