The first AV Barefoot Run took place through the greenery of Auroville on Sunday April 17th with 55 runners – Aurovilians, volunteers, Ashramites, friends from Pondicherry and Chennai and even from Tirupati! The 10-kilometer route wound through Auroville’s forests, with proceeds going to the GreenAcres campaign for more land purchase and greening of Auroville’s land.
The Land Board is dynamic on many fronts, with a full roster of activities: negotiation for land acquisition (purchase and exchange), accurate mapping of land, updating of land records, legal issues in concert with various governmental bodies, land protection and fencing, communication. For the latest highlights, here’s a brief and impressive summary.
On April 24, 1920, the Mother arrived in Pondicherry to join Sri Aurobindo. For the next 30 years, the “united two” collaborated for the establishment of a new Consciousness for humanity and the Earth. The Mother then inaugurated Auroville to anchor this new spiritual Force in Matter and through land. As she declared: “There should be somewhere upon earth a place …”
Auroville was created to provide a ground for the spiritual consciousness of the coming future – in line with the Mother’s vision and the intention of the Indian Parliament. Acres for Auroville, and its sister campaign GreenAcres, are working to acquire the missing land for a unified, consolidated, and secure Auroville. Later will be too late – the time to do it is NOW! Join us!!
