A Quest for Community

A personal journal of my first journeys to Damanhur & Auroville.

Wednesday, October 01, 2003


Then the Founder of Auroville, called the Mother, read the Charter of Auroville in French from her room in Pondicherry, and it was broadcast live to the 5000 invited guests gathered in the new amphitheatre. She said:

Auroville belongs to nobody in particular.
Auroville belongs to humanity as a whole.
But to live in Auroville, one must be the willing servitor of the Divine Consciousness.

Auroville will be the place of an unending education, of constant progress, and a youth that never ages.

Auroville wants to be the bridge between the past and the future. Taking advantage of all discoveries from without and within, Auroville will boldly spring towards future realizations.

Auroville will be a site of material and spiritual researches for a living embodiment of an actual Human Unity.
