auroville – the city of dawn

Auroville was born on 28 February 1968.  Its founder, the Mother, created the Auroville Charter consisting of four main ideas which underpinned her vision for Auroville.  When Auroville came into being, all India Radio (AIR) broadcast the Charter, live, in 16 languages.  Aurovilians apply the ideas of the Auroville Charter in their daily life, in policy-development, and decisions, big and small.  The Charter thus forms an omnipresent referent that silently guides the people who choose to live and work for Auroville.

The Auroville Charter:

  1. Auroville belongs to nobody in particular.  Auroville belongs to humanity as a whole. But, to live in Auroville, one must be a willing servitor of the divine consciousness.
  2. Auroville will be the place of an unending education, of constant progress, and a youth that never ages.
  3. Auroville wants to be the bridge between the past and the future.  Taking advantage of all discoveries from without and from within, Auroville will boldly spring towards future realisations.
  4. Auroville will be a site of material and spiritual researches for a living embodiment of an actual human unity.

Auroville wants to be a universal town where men and women of all countries are able to live in peace and progressive harmony above all creeds, all politics and all nationalities.
