Auroville must wake up and step up to its True Role and Purpose as one of the most modern and progressive Gurukula of Mother India the Guru of Nations according to the Divine Action, Revelations and Supramental Vision-Goal of its Avatar founders Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. The following declaration from the Mother in 1953 for SAIUC/SAICE applies also to their Auroville: "I am perfectly sure, I am quite confident, there is not the slightest doubt in my mind, that this University, which is being established here, will be the greatest seat of knowledge upon earth. It may take fifty years, it may take a hundred years, and you may doubt about my being there; I may be there or not, but these children of mine will be there to carry out my work. And those who collaborate in this divine work today will have the joy and pride of having participated in such an exceptional achievement."¹ And that is why from its 1968 inauguration, 1988 happened and Auroville is now under the ad...

As Aurovilians share internally in our online Auronet what “Light” is and its relevance and complementarity with darkness, one brother asks: "What about the Ray of Light invited so graciously by the Mother to enter the Chamber (of Matrimandir) and caress the Sphere, then penetrating our eyeglobes indirectly and without blindiing deliver us a telegram of Love from the Beyond?" This popped up: That Supreme Light is Savitri, the incarnation of the Supreme Divine Mother MahaShakti Herself, as portrayed in Sri Aurobindo's epic mantric poem Savitri - A Legend and a Symbol, and in the most recent Earth incarnation is our Mother Mirra Alfassa. Examine carefully the Gayatri Mantra of Sri Aurobindo: तत्सवितुर्वरं रूपं ज्योतिः परस्य धीमहि | यन्नः सत्येन दीपयेत् || Om Tat Savitur Varam Rūpam Jyotiḥ Parasya Dhīmahi Yannaḥ Satyena Dīpayet Tat = That Savitur = Sun-god who is the Creator Varam = most auspicious Rūpam = form Jyotiḥ = Light Parasya = of the Supreme (since...

Purpose. Without an aim human life is meaningless. And purpose as we can easily observe range from mediocre aims to epic quests. Here in Auroville the City of Dawn founded by the Kalki Avatar Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, it is obviously an Epic Quest: "The whole earth must prepare itself for the advent of the new species, and Auroville wants to work consciously to hasten this advent."   "The aim of human life is to discover the Divine and to manifest It."   Auroville is situated in the bosom of Mother India the Guru of Nations, the sacred land of Yoga with the Divine. Thus without having a yogic understanding and a firm will to act as per our Core Vision-Goal of hastening the advent of the new apex species beyond the obvious limitations of Homo sapiens, one will be stuck forever in the painful churnings of universal Nature trying to solve one's existential human problems with old, unconscious ways.    Here's Divine Guidance to anyone who wishes to participa...

The pressing question for each invited participant to ask oneself is "Why am I in Auroville?" Here's our founder the Mother, especially for the ones experiencing difficulties in understanding that this City of Dawn is a multi-generational project with a distinct purpose of hastening the progress of the individual and the collectivity, both spiritually and materially. Thus: "(About certain individuals and groups willing to aid Auroville’s development) They may not practise themselves, but if they do not know about Yoga, how can they understand the purpose of Auroville?" https://incarnateword.in/cwm/13/finance That is quite clear enough. Invited participants and goodwilled collaborators must know about Yoga, or must be made aware that this is a necessity prior to participating in Auroville. Even our educational systems for all ages must be geared for this, preparing and nurturing the new generation to fully discover their innate divinity. It is fortunate that...
