People of Auroville

Be thyself immortal, and put not thy faith in death; for death is not of thyself, but of thy body." Sri Aurobindo

Within the context of spiritual beliefs, death cannot be seen as an end but rather as a transition in the ongoing journey of an individual's consciousness. This section has been published in order to create a space of remembrance for all of those who lived, struggled and enjoyed in Auroville, making a conscious effort to manifest the Dream of Human Unity that is in the process of emerging.

New words are needed to express new ideas, new forms are necessary to manifest new forces.

High architects of possibilityAnd engineers of the impossible,Mathematicians of the infinitudesAnd theoricians of unknowable truths,They formulate enigma's postulatesAnd join the unknown to the apparent worlds

Auroville will be a self-supporting township. All who live there will participate in its life and development. ⁣

The principle of willing, voluntary contribution to the building and maintenance of the city is the keystone of Auroville's economy, which is essentially experimental and has gone through many changes over time. We present in detail some of the more-than 230 social enterprise units. Many of these, besides generating income for Auroville, are dedicated to providing services (social, research, etc) within Auroville, in the bioregion, or further afield.
