“I tell people that the creation of a city such as Auroville has more weight in the history of the earth than all the groupings of the world,” the Mother would say. And she said “All that is needed is a handful of earth… a little soil to let it grow….”. In this article, longtime Aurovilian Anu shares the start and evolution of The Mother’s vision for Auroville and reminds us of the importance of the City of Dawn’s land. This beautiful photo was shot by Tine.
Auroville pioneer Varadharajan had his first Balcony Darshan of The Mother on 15th August 1964, the day when the official announcement of Auroville was first made. He was also present in The Mother’s Room when she first spoke to a small group on “being a true Aurovilian”. In this special article, he shares experiences with The Mother and thoughts on Auroville. We are grateful to Varadharajan-ji for his decades of contributions, his example, and the inspiration he shares, and to Ashwini Selvaraj for this interview … பிடிஎஃப்பில் தமிழ்ப் பதிப்பு

One of her other aspirations is to contribute towards creating a bigger sense of unity of Auroville’s spiritual family.
