On the HS Video: How Does Housing Work in Auroville

Here's the link: https://youtu.be/SLUA-tVp8RQ?si=Pk8NT9xyKe06Ndbi

Good re-start of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother's founding Vision-Goal.

However, what is always missing in all these discussions is the Meaning and Purpose of joining Auroville, with the straightforward question to oneself:

"Why am I joining Auroville?"

And from the officially legislated Administrative and Governance Bodies to anyone interested in participating in Auroville:

"Why are you joining Auroville?"

The inseparable and integral Three Core Documents—A Dream, The Auroville Charter, To Be a True Aurovilian—is the criteria for a clear answer to this fundamental question:

https://auroville.org/page/core-documents

Including the officially legislated Auroville Foundation Act and subsequent series of Ordinance by the Government of India:

https://auroville.org/page/legal-structure

In 'To Be a True Aurovilian' is the specific point-by-point clarification, as follows:

  1. The first necessity is the inner discovery in order to know what one truly is behind social, moral, cultural, racial and hereditary appearances. At the centre there is a being free, vast and knowing, who awaits our discovery and who ought to become the active centre of our being and our life in Auroville.

  2. The fulfilment of one’s desires bars the way to the inner discovery which can only be achieved in the peace and transparency of perfect disinterestedness. One lives in Auroville in order to be free from moral and social conventions; but this freedom must not be a new slavery to the ego, to its desires and ambitions.

  3. The Aurovilian should lose the sense of personal possession. For our passage in the material world, what is indispensable to our life and to our action is put at our disposal according to the place we must occupy. The more we are consciously in contact with our inner being, the more are the exact means given to us.

  4. Work, even manual work, is something indispensable for the inner discovery. If one does not work, if one does not put his consciousness into matter, the latter will never develop. To let the consciousness organise a bit of matter by means of one’s body is very good. To establish order around oneself helps to bring order within oneself. One should organise one’s life not according to outer and artificial rules, but according to an organised inner consciousness, for if one lets life go on without subjecting it to the control of the higher consciousness, it becomes fickle and inexpressive. It is to waste one’s time in the sense that matter remains without any conscious utilisation.

  5. The whole earth must prepare itself for the advent of the new species, and Auroville wants to work consciously to hasten this advent.

  6. Little by little it will be revealed to us what this new species must be, and meanwhile, the best course is to consecrate oneself entirely to the Divine.

[When this was to be published at the end of 1971, Mother added:]

The only true freedom is the one obtained by union with the Divine. One can unite with the Divine only by mastering one’s ego.

Without reiterating this shared revolutionary Vision-Goal, the invited participant will get the wrong impression that staying in Auroville is simply to maintain and entertain one's human life.

This ignorance based on a retirement mentality must not be allowed to continue as it is contradictory to the raison d'être of Auroville the City of Dawn.

No. 5 above of this appropriately titled mandate 'To Be a True Aurovilian' states clearly why one should want, and be allowed to, stay in Auroville, which will take many more generations of conscious preparation.

A shared, clearly understood and officially agreed upon Meaning and Purpose for living in the Avatar's Auroville is imperative.

It is a crucial Choice: the old world of undivine falsehood or the New Divine World.

The Mother was crystal clear:

"Men, countries, continents!
The choice is imperative:
Truth or the abyss."

And in the Auroville Charter:

"But, to live in Auroville, one must be a willing servitor of the Divine Consciousness."

That implies its opposite: unwitting servitor of the undivine consciousness.

The criteria for joining Auroville is crystal clear.

Evolving from The Ignorance 
The evolutionary imperative
Is to now consciously evolve.

Om Namo Bhagavate 🙏🏼

With the appointment of the new Governing Board and IAC, may we collectively progress onwards in accordance with the Avataric Vision-Goal of Auroville the City of Dawn.

The Dawning and Noon of the Life Divine 🙏🏼

Torchbearers of the Supramental Yoga

To the transitioning towards full blossoming " selected few " torchbearers: "There has never been any real surrender, any giving up of yourself freely and simply into the hands of the Divine Mother. And yet that is the only way to succeed in the Supramental Yoga. To be a Yogi, a Sannyasi, a Tapaswi is not the object here. The object is transformation, and the transformation can only be done by a force infinitely greater than your own, it can only be done by being truly like a child in the hands of the Divine Mother." Sri Aurobindo https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/36/to-barindra-kumar-ghose https://incarnateword.in/cwsa/32/surrender-to-the-mother And Who exactly is this Divine Mother?

States of Consciousness

I have seen the building of Auroville as concurrent with the Supramental Vision-Goal since even before its inception in 1968. It is a collective Integral Supramental Sadhana unfolding in space-time toward the Divine Manifestation—a process that will take a few more generations. The Divine, undivine and anti-divine in a concentrated cauldron: "Auroville belongs to nobody in particular. Auroville belongs to humanity as a whole." Then the "Must" Choice: "But, to live in Auroville, one must be a willing servitor of the Divine Consciousness." A Conscious Will against the undivine and anti-divine forces. All details flow from and follow as per our  Three Core Ideal Vision-Goals¹  and all other guidance from Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. These are the Decreed Divine Will, as they are the Dual Supramental Avatar—direct incarnations of the Supreme. This is the particularity and specificity of the Auroville of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. For anyone who wishes Auro...

Trilogy of rEvolution

The Spark Inherently the Truth, Whatever, you are correct, An expression unique Of the Eternal and Infinite ✨   The Friction And in the thick of it all A unique beingness typal Rears its anti-Divine head: The infamous Falsehood Intent on causing chaos Just for the joy of experience. But to the smiling ones Awake to Love and Oneness, It is a potent force of progress To poke Matter from tamas In a form called Homo sapiens  Whose role is to understand things. To the fully conscious few What creation brand new Wills you from this cosmic stew? 🔥   The Manifestation Some eloquents wisely argue, Content with the old worldview, That the messengers of the Incommunicable Are creating confusion And wants them quiet as stone. The kink with the confusion narrative Is to continue keeping you captive  In the Ignorance and Falsehood Just to entertain, remain confused. Each word reveals its willed purpose. Now, you are a commodity precious, A living breathing battery For the vampire...
