Towards Auroville

The birth of Auroville and the Mother’s Yoga

Even though the Mother had long harboured the seed of a new creation upon this earth – a new man and a new city have been repeatedly attempted as heralds and promises of a yet distant future -, it was only then, only now, now that She could turn this “house of flesh” into a blessed abode for the One, at least in terms of experience if not as yet in form and tangible expression, it was then only that She could set in motion the process of a more collective step of accelerated and concentrated evolution, so as to prepare the cradle of the new being. It was then and only then that She could call forth the birth of Auroville. It could be but a tentative approximation, a first collective expression of human aspiration and urge towards a truer life upon earth, but it would eventually develop a capacity for self- realization, provided its participants kept the flame alive and growing.

And thus the Mother sent Her call.

The Mother, by definition, has innumerable children; yet there are those souls that have again and again followed in Her footsteps upon earth, souls that are no longer seeking for their own repose or liberation, but commit to the fulfilment of the eternal promise – when the whole earth will at last become the material site of living oneness and unlimited becoming.
