Crisis or Calling ?

An invitation to rise, not retreat.

AWARE Auroville-Knowware-Organisation-AVI-Featured-Response to AVI to UNESCO

Every turning point is uncomfortable—not because it signals the end, but because it demands evolution. For Auroville, this is not the first storm. And it won’t be the last. But this moment is different. It is not merely about policy, power, or positions—it is about purpose.

Some say Auroville is in crisis. That may be so. But beneath the noise, something deeper is being asked of us.

This is a time for maturity—not outrage. For responsibility—not reaction. For clarity—not confusion.

Yes, systems are being challenged. Voices are being stifled. Values are being questioned. But rather than play the victim—or the hero—let us stand where we truly belong: in the middle of the work. In the heart of the experiment. Not fighting to go back, but committed to go forward—with eyes open, feet steady, and spirit intact.

The question is not who is doing what to us.
The real question is: What do we do now—with full awareness of who we are, and what we are here to serve?

This moment, with all its friction, is not just a disruption.
It’s a catalyst.

An invitation to return to the essential.
To reaffirm Auroville’s reason for existence.
To shed what no longer serves, and to shape what the future needs.

Not everyone will understand.
Not everything will be fair.
But if we hold the centre—clearly, quietly, together—this will not be the end of the dream.

It will be its renewal.

Authoritarianism Rising? Or a Call for Unity and Collaboration

A Systematic Takeover of Governance? A Call for Inclusive Organisation

It is important to acknowledge that Auroville’s governance is evolving, and change is inevitable. However, the idea of centralization is often misunderstood. The Government of India’s presence in Auroville, which dates back to 1988, was not an imposition but a necessary step to ensure that the ideals of Auroville could be safeguarded, supported, and realized. The creation of the Auroville Foundation was a response to the challenges faced with the Sri Aurobindo Society, which managed the town under the Mother’s guidance until 1988. With this official recognition, we sought to create an institution that would facilitate Auroville’s growth, not undermine it.

The involvement of government representatives should be seen as an opportunity for collaboration, not an intrusion. Rather than perceiving them as an authoritarian force, we must understand their role as co-creators in manifesting Auroville’s ideals. It is imperative that we work together, harmonize efforts, and avoid viewing the government’s engagement as a threat to our autonomy, but as a supportive force that can help us navigate challenges, both internal and external.

Silencing the Residents’ Assembly? A Question of Authenticity

The claim that the Residents’ Assembly is being silenced or marginalized is based on misunderstandings. The Residents’ Assembly, which should ideally be a reflection of Auroville’s diverse community, has in many cases been led by a select group of individuals whose actions may not represent the collective will. There are serious concerns regarding the authenticity of voting processes, which have often been criticized for being manipulated by a narrow group of people, especially those with strong foreign connections. These individuals have held power in Auroville for decades, often acting with little accountability. This has created an environment where a small, influential group decides on behalf of everyone else, undermining the voice of the larger community.

It is time for Auroville to reevaluate the functioning of its Residents’ Assembly. The Assembly must truly reflect the diverse perspectives of all residents, not just a privileged few. The process must be open, transparent, and inclusive, ensuring that every voice counts. Only then can we restore faith in the system and move forward as a united community.

Dismissing Executives and Experts? Upholding Integrity and Accountability

When executives and experts are removed, it is often seen as a loss. However, it is important to ask: why were these individuals removed in the first place? Some have been found to be acting in ways that are not aligned with the values and principles of Auroville, including breaches of governance and ethics, and even actions contrary to the policies of the Government of India. The removal of individuals from positions of influence is not a sign of authoritarianism, but rather an attempt to preserve Auroville’s integrity.

In a place like Auroville, where the principles of transparency, sustainability, and collaboration are at the forefront, any actions that deviate from these principles cannot be ignored. It is necessary to replace such individuals with those who truly embody Auroville’s ethos—those who act in the best interest of the entire community and work collaboratively with the government and residents to move Auroville forward.

A Call for Synthesis and Progress

The issues we face today—governance challenges, strained relationships with the government, and tensions within the community—are complex, but they are not insurmountable. Rather than allowing these challenges to divide us and fuel a crisis mindset, we must come together and use these moments as an opportunity to reaffirm Auroville’s foundational values: collaboration, unity, and progress.

Auroville has always been an experiment—an experiment in human unity, sustainability, and integral living. It has never been about perfection but about constantly evolving and refining our collective vision. The role of the government, the experts, and all those involved in the administration of Auroville is to support that vision, not to impose it.

Instead of resisting the forces that seek to move Auroville forward, we must embrace them, work together, and ensure that our collective efforts are aligned with the ideals that the Mother and Sri Aurobindo envisioned. Let us create a future where collaboration, not division, is at the heart of Auroville’s progress. Together, we can overcome any challenge and continue to manifest the vision of Auroville as a beacon of human unity.

The Future is Ours to Shape

In the face of challenges, we must remember that Auroville is, above all, a calling—a calling for unity, for collaboration, and for the betterment of humanity. While there are undoubtedly tensions and difficulties within the community, we must not lose sight of the bigger picture. The involvement of the Government of India and other external forces is not an affront to Auroville’s spirit, but an opportunity to solidify and manifest the Mother’s dream.

Let us move forward with a positive mindset, drawing strength from our shared purpose. Together, we can overcome any obstacle, realign with our core values, and ensure that Auroville continues to thrive as a living experiment in human unity. The path forward is clear: collaboration, synthesis, and unwavering commitment to the vision that brought us all together in the first place.

Bulldozing Sustainable Living? Or a Call for Constructive Change

Auroville’s essence lies in its unique approach to sustainable living, ecological balance, and the respect for nature. However, recent concerns have arisen surrounding the development plans for Auroville. It is essential to address these concerns from a constructive perspective, reframing the narrative and exploring solutions that align with Auroville’s core values of sustainability, community involvement, and ecological harmony. While challenges exist, they can be overcome by reaffirming our commitment to the ideals of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo. Let’s look at the points raised and explore them through a more positive lens.

A ‘Undisputable’ Plan? Embracing Sustainable Urbanization
There is concern within the community about the introduction of a top-down development plan with minimal community involvement. It’s crucial, however, to recognize that the growth and expansion of Auroville are necessary for its evolution into a sustainable city that will serve as a model for the world. Over the past 50 years, Auroville’s core principles of sustainability and ecological balance have been deeply rooted in the project’s foundation.

But as we look toward future growth, we must acknowledge that Auroville is no longer the small community it once was. The manifestation of the Auroville Galaxy is a large-scale undertaking, and it is unrealistic to think that growth can occur without any compromise.

However, the key to ensuring Auroville’s sustainability in this development process lies in the planning. The proposed city plan envisions 87% green space—this is an impressive, sustainable goal. By creating this urban space, we will provide a living example to the world of how cities can grow and evolve without sacrificing ecological integrity. We must not resist development out of fear but embrace it as an opportunity to demonstrate the true potential of sustainable urbanization.

The question is not whether we should build, but how we can build in harmony with nature. The challenge is to blend the new with the old, the modern with the ecological, ensuring that the new city complements the values that Auroville was founded upon.

Forests, Food, and Water Under Threat? A Need for Reevaluation
Another significant concern raised in the community is the threat to Auroville’s forests, agricultural land, and water resources. Some argue that Auroville’s natural resources are being depleted, and that environmental policies are not in line with the founding vision of ecological harmony. However, it is essential to first clarify the situation on the ground: what is being described as “forests” are, in fact, private estates owned by individuals, often isolated from the broader community. These lands are sometimes kept under strict control, with limited access for the wider Auroville community.

The farms, too, while serving as sources of income for some, are not functioning as self-sustaining entities for the community in the way the Mother envisioned. Instead of relying on local agricultural practices to sustain Auroville, much of the production goes to the external market, prioritizing profit over the community’s needs.

But this is not the full story. The opportunity lies in creating a more collective, integrated approach to agriculture and land management. Auroville must return to its roots of self-sufficiency, where our farms provide for the community, ensuring that food security, sustainability, and ecological practices are at the forefront of this vision.

Auroville’s environment is still its greatest asset, and it is essential that we all come together to protect it. There is potential for a much more coordinated approach where private estates become communal, where farming practices are aligned with ecological sustainability, and where water resources are protected and used with respect.

A Call for Unity? Preserving Auroville’s Ecological Heritage
We must rally together to protect Auroville’s forests, land, and sustainable practices. The future of Auroville is intricately tied to the preservation of its ecological integrity. While concerns about development are valid, they must be framed within a spirit of collaboration. The development plans must not be viewed as a threat, but rather as a chance for Auroville to evolve, while maintaining its commitment to sustainability.

To ensure that Auroville’s growth remains in line with its founding principles, it is crucial that the community takes an active role in shaping the future. We cannot afford to let fears, misinformation, or resistance undermine the potential of this sacred project. The work ahead is complex, but it can be done, with everyone’s input and support. Let’s unite to safeguard Auroville’s ecological legacy and ensure that we continue to lead by example, showing the world what is possible when humanity and nature coexist in harmony.

Building Auroville Together
The growth of Auroville is an inevitable part of its evolution. The key to ensuring its continued success lies in the integration of sustainable practices into every aspect of its development. Rather than resist change, let us come together and embrace it with a vision that aligns with our founding principles.

Auroville’s future depends on our collective efforts to preserve its ecological integrity, collaborate with external forces, and uphold the values of sustainability. With clear, inclusive planning, and a commitment to its core ideals, Auroville can continue to be a shining example for the world—a testament to what can be achieved when humanity lives in harmony with nature.

Appropriating Funds & Assets? Or a Call for Transparency and Integrity

Auroville, as an experiment in human unity and sustainable development, has always been driven by principles of collective ownership, shared responsibility, and long-term sustainability. However, recent concerns regarding the mismanagement of funds and assets, land transactions, and the commercialization of Auroville’s name and reputation require a thoughtful and constructive approach. Let us break down these issues while keeping the community’s long-term vision in focus.

Mismanagement of Funds and Assets? A Clarification of Intent
There have been claims about a lack of accountability in the financial management of Auroville’s resources, with accusations of financial decisions being made without transparency. However, it’s crucial to separate fact from speculation. The charge of “appropriating funds” seems to stem from the friction between groups, where some foreigners, accusing others of financial mismanagement, are often overlooking the broader context of these funds being used for Auroville’s collective needs.

It’s essential that, moving forward, all financial decisions are made in a manner that is not only transparent but also aligned with Auroville’s ethical standards. Financial accountability and transparency should be top priorities for Auroville’s leadership, but let us remember that the ultimate goal is not to pit different factions against each other but to come together for the common good. Mismanagement is a serious concern, but blame cannot be solely attributed to one group. We need to act in unity, ensuring proper stewardship of Auroville’s resources for the benefit of all, not just a select few.

Auroville Land Being Sold Out? Reaffirming the Vision for Auroville’s Territory
Contrary to some claims, Auroville’s land is not being “sold out.” Rather, there have been strategic land exchanges designed to secure the 20 square kilometers of Auroville’s core territory—what is truly at the heart of Auroville. Some of the land outside this core zone has been used for commercial purposes, which detracts from the original vision set forth by the Mother and Sri Aurobindo. This land has, in some cases, been bought up by private land developers who have transformed it into guesthouses and restaurants.

The current efforts are focused on securing this core land, which is essential for the city’s future growth and integrity. The question is not about selling land, but about reclaiming and protecting the land that is central to Auroville’s mission. Why should we retain land that is not contributing to Auroville’s collective, sustainable vision when insiders are utilizing it for private, non-community purposes?

By exchanging land rather than selling it, we are ensuring that the land within Auroville’s true boundaries remains firmly under the community’s control. This is not a loss but a strategic action aimed at protecting the vision and ensuring Auroville remains intact as a self-sustaining ecosystem. The long-term stability and integrity of Auroville require us to focus on the land that will contribute most directly to its mission, and we must be proactive in securing this territory.

Capitalizing on Tourism? Redefining Auroville’s Relationship with Visitors
Tourism has long been a part of Auroville’s external relations, but the commercialization of Auroville for financial gain has sparked criticism. However, it’s important to reframe the discussion: Auroville was never intended to be an isolated, private retreat. It has always been a center for experimentation, learning, and collaboration. The challenge, though, is to ensure that this exchange remains authentic and true to Auroville’s deeper values.

In the past, Auroville may have been used in ways that did not fully align with its ideals, but recent shifts are working to address this. Efforts are now underway to refocus the visitor experience, ensuring that visitors are not merely tourists but seekers, learners, and collaborators who can contribute to Auroville’s evolving vision. This shift is a welcome change and is in line with the community’s desire to engage with the outside world on a deeper, more meaningful level.

AWARE, for example, plays an active role in guiding this transformation by helping visitors understand the underlying philosophies of Auroville and encouraging them to collaborate rather than consume. The economic benefit derived from tourism must be balanced with the core principles of Auroville, ensuring that visitors are treated as partners in the journey, rather than just sources of income.

A Call for Economic Integrity and Sustainability
Auroville is not a commodity to be exploited; it is a living, evolving community based on ideals that seek to transcend materialism and create something greater. With this in mind, we must hold accountable those who mismanage funds, land, and resources. The economic sustainability of Auroville should be rooted in integrity, transparency, and long-term planning that benefits the community as a whole.

We need to embrace a collaborative approach to managing Auroville’s resources, one that prioritizes its future over short-term gains. By doing so, we can ensure that the integrity of Auroville remains intact, and that its values are not compromised. The work ahead requires collective effort and a commitment to Auroville’s founding vision—a vision that transcends individual interests and focuses on the greater good of humanity.

A Unified Vision for Auroville’s Future
The concerns raised about the mismanagement of funds, the commercialization of Auroville, and the land transactions are valid, but they must be viewed in the context of Auroville’s larger mission. To protect Auroville’s future, we must focus on transparency, collaboration, and integrity. We must ensure that all resources—whether financial, land, or human—are managed with care and in alignment with Auroville’s original vision. By doing so, we will not only safeguard Auroville’s future but also ensure that its core values are preserved for generations to come. Let us stand together to create a sustainable, collaborative, and transparent Auroville that truly serves as an example for the world.

Rewriting the Narrative? Or Preserving Auroville’s Truth and Integrity

While there are accusations of misinformation campaigns aimed at discrediting Auroville’s ideals, the reality is that the true source of this deliberate spread of falsehoods is coming from specific external factions. These groups, using platforms like auroville.services, auroville.media, and standforaurovilleunity.com, are intentionally trying to spread fear and doubt. Their narrative seeks to distort Auroville’s identity, often by amplifying negative stories and painting a picture of division within the community.

These efforts are aimed at attacking Auroville’s reputation, both within the local and global family. Rather than promoting understanding, they serve to create confusion and division. It’s vital to recognize that these external actors, with their own agendas, are the ones spreading misinformation, not those within the community who are working toward unity and growth. The response to this is to counter these falsehoods with truth and transparency, reaffirming Auroville’s purpose and values.

Censorship? Fostering Open Dialogue, Not Suppression
Another narrative being pushed is the idea that Auroville is stifling free expression, suppressing dissent, and censoring voices that challenge the status quo. This is simply not the case. Contrary to these claims, Auroville has always encouraged open dialogue and the free exchange of ideas. In fact, the community thrives on debate, differing opinions, and open discussions on the direction Auroville should take. Political factioning and media mudslinging may be taking place, but these are not the result of systemic censorship—they are manifestations of personal or ideological conflicts within the community.

The claim that critical voices are being silenced is another narrative being constructed by those with a particular agenda. The truth is that Auroville, despite its challenges, remains a place where free expression is valued. If anything, the conversation is often loud and heated, but that’s a reflection of a healthy, engaged community rather than one that is suppressing differing opinions.

Controlling History? The Real Story of Auroville’s Founding
A major concern being raised is the rewriting of Auroville’s history to fit a specific agenda. Some groups claim that key aspects of Auroville’s founding principles are being erased or distorted. While history is often the subject of interpretation, the reality is that Auroville’s history has been subject to selective retelling, especially by those who wish to control the narrative to their advantage.

The radical shift in how Auroville’s pioneers are recognized is one example of this manipulation. Those who funded and played a pivotal role in Auroville’s early stages, such as Savitri Devi, have often been overshadowed by those who came later and labeled themselves the “true pioneers.” This erasure of historical contributions is a form of rewriting Auroville’s history to favor a select few—those who seek to control the present by manipulating the past.

The truth is that the founding of Auroville is far more complex and diverse than the simplified stories that are often told. The rich, multi-faceted history of Auroville must be preserved in its entirety, with all voices—both past and present—being heard. It is imperative to ensure that Auroville’s founding principles are not overshadowed by the agendas of a few, but instead remain a source of inspiration for future generations.

Reclaiming the Narrative? Standing for Truth and Transparency
It is crucial that we not allow misinformation and censorship to take root within Auroville. The future of this unique community depends on our ability to protect the truth of Auroville’s founding vision and the principles that sustain it. The narrative that we share with the world must be one of transparency, honesty, and openness. It is time for the community to reclaim its story and ensure that every voice, from the past to the present, is heard.

The rewriting of Auroville’s history and the spread of misinformation must be countered by standing firm in the truth. We must acknowledge the contributions of all who have built this community and work towards a shared future where collaboration and unity are the guiding forces. Let us unite in the fight for transparency, open discourse, and historical integrity—so that the true spirit of Auroville remains intact for future generations.

Unity in the Face of Division
The battle to preserve Auroville’s integrity is not just about fighting misinformation; it’s about reaffirming the collective vision that has always been the heart of this experiment. The truth of Auroville’s ideals—its commitment to human unity, sustainable living, and spiritual growth—cannot be overshadowed by propaganda, revisionist history, or divisive rhetoric. It’s time to rise above these challenges, unite as a community, and ensure that Auroville’s legacy is preserved, not just as an ideal but as a living reality.

We must embrace our history, speak our truth, and reclaim the narrative in a way that strengthens Auroville, not weakens it. Only then can we truly fulfill the vision set forth by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother—one that transcends faction, division, and fear, and remains a beacon of hope for humanity’s future.

Disrupting the Sense of Safety? Or Defending Auroville's Integrity and Security

Auroville was conceived as a sanctuary for peace, growth, and unity, a place where residents from all over the world could come together to build a sustainable and harmonious community. However, recent developments have created a sense of insecurity for those who have dedicated their lives to this experiment. The very fabric of safety, stability, and trust is under threat. It is crucial to recognize these disruptions, address them head-on, and ensure that Auroville remains a refuge for all who seek to contribute to its vision.

Housing and Allowances Threatened? Safeguarding Stability
A key aspect of Auroville’s appeal is its commitment to providing a stable and secure living environment for those who are dedicated to the community’s development. Unfortunately, recent changes in housing policies and allowances have sparked anxiety among long-term residents. Increased insecurity regarding housing threatens to undermine the livelihood of those who have committed to Auroville’s principles.

The cutting or limiting of allowances is especially concerning. These measures undermine the financial stability of those who have worked hard to build and sustain Auroville over the years. The focus must remain on maintaining Auroville’s core values—fostering a space for long-term, dedicated residents, not undermining their livelihoods.

At the same time, we must remain vigilant against the presence of freeloaders who take advantage of Auroville’s resources without contributing to its ideals or development. The balance lies in ensuring that long-term, committed residents are protected from instability while we address those who exploit the system without adding value.

Visa Pressure? Protecting Auroville’s International Identity
A significant element of Auroville’s identity is its international community, with residents from across the globe coming together to fulfill a shared vision. However, recent claims regarding stricter visa regulations and their impact on Auroville’s international residents are simply not accurate.

Contrary to the narrative that Auroville’s international community is being disrupted, it is essential to acknowledge the facts. In the last three years, only two visa applications were denied, and this was due to valid concerns over individuals who had been involved in anti-India campaigning—actions that are incompatible with Auroville’s mission of fostering unity, peace, and understanding.

There is no widespread crackdown on international residents. Auroville remains committed to welcoming those who genuinely wish to contribute to its vision, and we must continue to ensure that the international community feels welcome and safe to contribute to the ongoing development of this experiment.

Criminal Charges Filed on Dubious Grounds? Legal Integrity
Accusations and legal pressure targeting individuals within the community often raise concerns about the misuse of the judicial system. However, it is important to understand the context of these charges. While some may view criminal charges as tools of intimidation, they are often a necessary step to safeguard the community and its resources.

There have been instances of individuals being involved in unlawful activities such as stealing data, materials, or encroaching upon property. These are serious offenses that jeopardize the security and integrity of Auroville. The legal system is not being used to intimidate, but rather to ensure that the community remains protected from those who seek to exploit it for personal gain.

It is crucial to distinguish between legitimate legal actions to protect Auroville’s interests and the narrative of persecution that some would like to spread. We must support those who are working to uphold the law and safeguard the community’s future.

Youth as a Scapegoat? Addressing Radical Influence
Auroville’s youth has always been seen as a vital part of its future—vibrant, passionate, and idealistic. Unfortunately, some have attempted to exploit this enthusiasm by engaging in radical ideologies that do not align with Auroville’s core values. It is important to recognize that the influence on the youth is not coming from within the broader community but from a few individuals who seek to push their own agendas.

The radical factions that have been actively engaged in “brainwashing” youth members are causing significant disruption. Their actions threaten the safety and cohesion of the community by sowing division and confusion. Rather than viewing youth as passive participants in a larger ideological struggle, we must empower them to be critical thinkers, grounded in the principles of unity, peace, and sustainability that Auroville was founded upon.

Protecting Auroville’s Sense of Safety and Integrity
Auroville is a place of refuge, safety, and peace—values that have been built over decades of collective effort. The disruptions to this sense of security, whether through housing insecurity, visa restrictions, legal pressures, or ideological manipulation, cannot be allowed to undermine the community’s foundation. It is essential to ensure that all residents—whether long-term or new, local or international—feel safe, secure, and supported.

We must defend the integrity of Auroville’s values and protect its future by standing together against these disruptions. This includes safeguarding housing and allowances for long-term residents, ensuring that visa regulations do not unjustly target international residents, upholding legal integrity to protect Auroville’s assets, and ensuring that the youth are not misled by radical ideologies.

Auroville’s strength lies in its unity. Let us unite to maintain the peace and security that have made Auroville a beacon of hope for so many. Together, we can protect Auroville’s sense of safety and build a future that honors the community’s original vision.

Denying Auroville's Spirit and Values? Or Defending the Core of Auroville's Vision

Auroville has always stood as a beacon of hope, a living experiment in human unity, sustainable living, and spiritual growth. It was founded on principles that transcend national, cultural, and ideological divides, focusing on collective evolution and harmony with the Earth. However, there are forces at play that seek to deny the spirit of Auroville and replace its ideals with top-down control and external interests that do not align with its founding values.

These external forces, driven by ideologies rooted in colonialist fascism, extremism, and supremacism, have no place within Auroville. They seek to impose systems of control and division, which contradict the very essence of Auroville’s vision—a community based on spiritual growth, ecological harmony, and a commitment to unity. This is not the future we want to create for Auroville, nor is it the legacy we wish to leave for the generations to come.

Disregard for Auroville’s Core Principles? Human Unity, Conscious Living, and Spiritual Growth at Stake
The very foundation of Auroville is rooted in human unity—the belief that all people, regardless of nationality, race, or religion, can come together to create a harmonious and progressive community. Sustainable living, both in ecological and social terms, is also central to Auroville’s mission, ensuring that the community’s needs are met while respecting the Earth’s finite resources.

Attempts to replace these principles with a top-down approach—driven by control, external interests, or profit-driven agendas—threaten the essence of Auroville’s guiding ideals. Auroville was never meant to be a place where power is concentrated in the hands of a few, nor should its decisions be made in isolation from the collective vision that has drawn people here. The soul of Auroville lies in its ability to evolve organically, with the contributions of each individual shaping its future.

External Interests and Top-Down Control? A Dangerous Shift
The imposition of external interests, often cloaked under the guise of development or modernization, is one of the most significant threats facing Auroville today. These forces aim to reshape Auroville to fit their own agendas, disregarding the values of sustainability, spiritual growth, and human unity that have made Auroville unique.

This shift toward top-down control undermines Auroville’s original vision—one that empowers each individual to contribute to the community’s growth while respecting the collective. The power dynamics and external influences that are creeping into Auroville’s decision-making processes not only threaten its autonomy but also compromise its future as a model for human evolution and ecological sustainability.

We cannot allow Auroville to be reduced to another project serving external profit-driven motives. Auroville must remain a place of free progress, where each individual has the opportunity to evolve spiritually, intellectually, and collectively without interference from forces that seek to undermine its essence.

The Display of Colonialist Fascism, Extremism, and Supremacism? A Complete Betrayal
It is critical to recognize the insidious rise of colonialist fascism, extremism, and supremacism that some are trying to introduce into Auroville. These ideologies have no place in a community founded on the principles of peace, unity, and spiritual growth. Auroville’s mission is not to serve as a platform for the promotion of any form of divisive ideology, but rather as a space where human beings of all backgrounds can come together in the spirit of collaboration and shared purpose.

The very idea that Auroville could be associated with any form of authoritarianism, racism, or supremacist thinking is not just an affront to its values but a betrayal of the trust and ideals upon which it was built. Auroville must remain a sanctuary for human unity, a place where all are welcome to contribute to a collective vision of progress, without the stain of exclusion or division.

Preserving the Spirit of Auroville for Future Generations
Now, more than ever, it is essential that we reconnect with the core values that make Auroville the unique experiment it is. The forces seeking to disrupt Auroville’s vision must not be allowed to succeed. We must unite to preserve the principles of unity, collaboration, sustainability, and human evolution that define Auroville.

We must actively protect Auroville from external pressures that seek to change its course. This means not only defending the community from divisive ideologies but also ensuring that the collective vision of spiritual growth, ecological harmony, and human unity remains at the heart of Auroville’s future.

Let us stand together to preserve the spirit of Auroville and ensure that its light continues to shine brightly for future generations. We owe it to those who have dedicated their lives to Auroville and to those who will come after to safeguard this unique vision of human evolution and sustainable living.

Call to Action!

In the face of this profound challenge, the call for support is more urgent than ever. Auroville, a living experiment in human unity, stands at a crossroads. This is not just a plea for preservation, but a call to all who believe in collaboration, sustainability, and new ways of living. Now is the time to stand together, to nurture the seeds of change, and to ensure that Auroville’s vision for a harmonious and progressive future continues to thrive, rather than fading into obscurity.

We cannot allow Auroville to become an ordinary institution bound by outdated systems and rigid processes. It was founded as a living laboratory for human unity, autonomy, and sustainable living. These principles must remain the beating heart of Auroville’s evolution. Our journey ahead may be complex, but with collective will, determination, and the open-minded plasticity necessary to adapt, we can ensure that the spirit of Auroville flourishes.

The road may not be easy, but the potential of this extraordinary experiment remains limitless. Let us unite in preserving Auroville’s essence and create a future where new ways of being and living can truly manifest.
