Dear friends,
You will find on these pages the text of
a document concerning the conditions and the modalities for
joining Auroville. We would request that you study these pages
attentively. We are aware of the limitations inherent in trying
to describe with words what is in fact a living process, unique
to each person. Our aspiration is to express as clearly as possible
what the community normally expects from people seeking to join,
without lessening the vibrancy of the welcoming tone set by
the Mother. Our actual experience is that integration usually
happens smoothly.
To join Auroville is a gradual process of
learning, of confirming one's choice, through time and experience.
Please accept Auroville's present state of development: it is
far from perfect. Come and get familiar with its actual ways
of being, consciously participating and evolving with it.
Above all, what matters most is the spirit.
And we believe that the true spirit of Auroville is best expressed
through a number of statements, comments or conversations by
the Mother, who has her unique way of expressing the inner
dimensions of Auroville. We believe that when the spirit is
kept, whatever challenges may arise during the period of entry
will be harmoniously and positively met.
Welcome to Auroville -
Spring 2001
