Auroville :

Sadhana Forest is an ecological association, regenerating 70 acres of severaly eroded land back into a vibrant tropical dry evergreen forest .

Aviram and Yorit Rozin arrived from Israël 9 years ago to create this community focused on cooperation and teamwork.

During a few days, the caravaners lived in this ecological way of life doing their best to follow the rules : no electricity,no toilet paper, using vegan products, eating only natural and non transformed food, helping for the community tasks.

Auroville City of dawn

Before sunrise, at the bon   fire, Marc plays piano.

We are so lucky to attend the 45 th anniversary of the Matrimandir, place of meditation, built near a banyan(the only

 tree that was there when Auroville started), the exact place of Mère’s vision.

Intensity and depth.

Auroville wants to be a universal town where men and women of all countries are able to live in peace and constant progress in harmony , above all creeds, all politics , all nationalities and all religions. The purpose of Auroville is to realize human unity.

The Mother’s dream :

"There should be somewhere on earth a place which no nation could claim as it’s own, where all human beings of good  will who have a sincere aspiration, could live freely as citizens of the world and obey one single authority, that of the supreme truth ; a place of peace, concord and harmony".
