When people cultivate with a deep connection to the land, there is a different feel to it.
In southern India, Pongal is a harvest festival celebrated to usher in the New Year and to express gratitude to everything that makes our life. Perhaps, for as long as there was land and tilling, there has been some form of harvest festival.
A new addition to our land outreach actions – small cards for spreading the message. These new cards have been placed in friendly Auroville “hotspots” and have already had a great success! Share them with friends to help fill in the land puzzle’s missing parts!
Thank to donor solidarity, Auroville’s Land Board was able to enlarge the City of Dawn’s land base by 7.62 acres – with 6 new additions in the past 4 months alone! Your donations bring needed resources for manifesting the City of Dawn!
21 Visitors Centre units and Marathon Market participants contributed proceeds from their sales on Marathon weekend to benefit Auroville’s land. The VC restaurants and eateries maintained their solidarity action for the entire month with inspiring cards encouraging land donations on the eatery tables
Auroville’s second annual Art for Land auction took place on Febuary 25th after a month-long exhibition of creativity, beauty, fundraising events, & generosity. The action was capped by a joyous closing ceremony on the 28th: “Coming Together for Auroville’s Land!”
The “Auroville Lands Information Kiosk” set up at the Visitors Centre for Marathon Weekend was a great success! Now a permanent VC feature, it shows the film “Landing Auroville” every 7 minutes.
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”
February is a special month for Auroville and for the new creation upon earth. It was in this month, on the 21st in 1878, that the Mother was born; in this month, on the 29th in 1956, the universal descent of the supramental force took place; and again in this month, on the 28th in 1968, Auroville was founded.
Your solidarity for the City of Dawn’s still-missing land is warmly appreciated! Via the attached inspiring card, we send our thanks to so many friends and supporters. Together and united, our action can grow wider and stronger in 2017!! Wishing you all a happy & luminous 2017 – it’s Auroville’s 49th year! To receive a card: lfau@auroville.org.in
“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.
