I must salute your self-belief!

As you are so busy taking Auroville away from Mother’s directions you may not have the time for self-analysis.

Every single action you have taken since June has been harmful for Auroville and simply nasty towards those who are your brother Aurovilians. You have even ‘supported’ the court action. Shame on you!

Auroville is to be pities that it is led by such falsehood. May Mother protect Auroville!

Note: The Aurovilians involved with the ‘movement of change’ at Matrimandir must have been promised a legal order of some sort, even though it was a little slow in coming. Personally, up until the very last day, I did not “feel” that it would come to such a turn and a drop; what was constantly up in my consciousness was the significance there was in the choice before everyone, a significance that was incommensurate with our very small persons, for it was a matter of orientation that could but have incalculable consequences in future – perhaps not in the very long term, for the truth of this world is bound to triumph, but in the near future. It was as if Auroville was to become a showcase instead of the site of an actual adventure and becoming – as if effectively the fourth dimension was cut off from our experience together and we would be forced to continue in the ordinary physical consciousness… On October 8, 2003, we received the following e-mail, just like a dance step; this time the orchestra was ready:

*From the Working Committee to Arjun and Divakar, 8-10-2003:

“Dear Arjun and Divakar,

Following our note to you to voluntarily step back from your respective positions at Matrimandir, and the fact that there was no response from your side, we have now officially requested the Secretary of the AV Foundation to formally appoint the four Aurovilians - Andy Martens, Divya Kapur, Gilles Guigan and Michael Tait – as executives and any two of them as bank signatories.

Yours sincerely,

Valli for WC/AC”
