What is Auroville?
Auroville is a universal township in the making for a population of up to 50,000 people from around the world.
How did Auroville begin?
The concept of Auroville - an ideal township devoted to an experiment in human unity - came to the Mother as early as the 1930s. In the mid 1960s the concept was developed and put before the Govt. of India, who gave their backing and took it to the General Assembly of UNESCO. In 1966 UNESCO passed a unanimous resolution commending it as a project of importance to the future of humanity, thereby giving their full encouragement.
Why Auroville?
The purpose of Auroville is to realise human unity - in diversity. Today Auroville is recognised as the first and only internationally endorsed ongoing experiment in human unity and transformation of consciousness, also concerned with - and practically researching into - sustainable living and the future cultural, environmental, social and spiritual needs of mankind.
When did Auroville start?
On 28th February 1968 some 5,000 people assembled near the banyan tree at the centre of the future township for an inauguration ceremony attended by representatives of 124 nations, including all the States of India. The representatives brought with them some soil from their homeland, to be mixed in a white marble- clad, lotus-shaped urn, now sited at the focal point of the Amphitheatre. At the same time the Mother gave Auroville its 4-point Charter.
Where is Auroville?
Auroville is located in south India, mostly in the State of Tamil Nadu (some parts are in the State of Puducherry), a few kilometres inland from the Coromandel Coast, approx 150 kms south of Chennai (previously Madras) and 10 kms north of the town of Puducherry.
Who are the Aurovilians?
They come from some 59 nations, from all age groups (from infancy to over eighty, averaging around 30), from all social classes, backgrounds and cultures, representing humanity as a whole. The population of the township is constantly growing, but currently stands at around 2,500 people, of whom approx one-third are Indian.
Peace Area
At the centre of the township lies the Peace Area, comprising the Matrimandir and its gardens, the amphitheatre with the Urn of Human Unity that contains the soil of 121 nations and 23 Indian states, and the project of a lake to help create an atmosphere of calm and serenity and to serve as a groundwater recharge area.
Cultural Zone
Planned on a 93-hectare area, situated to the east of the Peace Area, the Cultural Zone will be a site for applied research in education and artistic expression. Facilities for cultural, educational, art and sports activities will be located in this zone.

Am at Auroville currently.It’s a nice enough place however one thing I have noticed is it is mostly locals doing all the hard work and non Indians doing meditation,art etc.How is this equality ? You never see non Indians and Indians communicate unless it is transactional.Of the non Indians it’s mostly caucasians and no black or Asians.Ofcourse there are some exceptions but does this not go against the very philosophy on which this place was founded.Worth a visit but personally I would prefer Pondicherry or other places in India.Very hipster vibe here.On the bright side you have good organic food,nice beaches,cool guest houses with lots of greenery and matrmandir dome.

[@KitCotter]

Yes, I've lived on many alt. communities around the world, & there's no "perfect community". Some seem that way for the first few weeks, but eventually, the politics become evident. Also, the U.N. connection here would concern me (those awake among u will have felt the same)...

It is so simple when we really think about it, right? Create a community where everybody's basic needs are met: food, water, shelter, healthcare. Remove the stress of labor-for-income and remove as much need for money and competitive business and you have a community of about 3,000 very happy, healthy people! We can do that everywhere. We just had to follow a similar formula. But many countries and communities have some reorienting to do!

[@AslamKhan-dw2et]

[@DavidS-wm9ud]

No potential, no opportunity, no potential, no hope? There are certain fundamentals that many of these "experiments" often overlook. The "drum major" instinct that resides in so many of us is vital to our existence and our development as a species. The need, the drive to produce more from less, to provide for an ever increasing population; to cope with novel viruses and diseases, these all require a fundamental inner thrust forward as a community and society. That can't be overlooked. It's true we have excesses; injustice and inequality reign supreme. Yet the benefits, I would suggest, do ultimately far out way any negative connotations that may exist and are of fundamental importance to the future of humanity.

David is a traveller from Israel. He wanted to volunteer in Auroville just like other travellers do but he cannot afford it. “It is quite stupid actually. Money is taken from young people to volunteer in the various units. The volunteers have to pay while volunteering as well. But he or she doesn’t get paid to do. There is a lot of money in Auroville. But where does it all go? I don’t know. I am leaving in a few days and as much as I would love to stay here. I can’t afford it.”

There are only 3000 people because they directly indirectly forces you to leave your religion, abandon your beliefs, you can't worship your God there.

I was there 2019 for two weeks. It was no problem to visit the park and enter the Matrimandir. I was inside it twice in the two weeks and i even meditated in the chambers and the main hall. It's a calm place and it's good and intelligent, that there is a reservation process. Otherwise it wouldn't be a calm place to meditate anymore. And the park and the Matrimandir is mainly for Aurovillians, the residents to relax and meditate and not primarly for tourists. It's good, like it is now.

Hey Shenaz , I absolutely loved your video and it did help me plan my visit to Auroville . Would you kindly tell me how exactly can I get to the 'Sound garden' , am I supposed to make any prior reservations or can I simply visit the place ? Also , do I need any special permissions to take photos and videos of it ? Thanks a lot 🙏🙏🏿🙏🏻🙏🏾🙏🏽 Keep up the good work☺️☺️☺️

It's just not sustainable without Indian,UN,UNESCO support and of course resident's personal money brought from outside.. And few non Aurovill villages inside and outside help a lot in commercial exchanges and viability of community..Of course tourists flocking from all over the world also help by purchasing little handcrafted things by inmates/residents,and they are usually less valuable things and aesthetically the whole of Aurovill is less appealing including the Mathrimandir.. What is the negative side in all things is,it is taking U turn on thousands of years of human achievements and compelling one to go back to periods before civilisations..

@@vijeshnarayan9422 true, but the question is would you rather have a peaceful u turn or disastrous forward.

IMO it's difficult to maintain.
