My trip to Auroville

I went to Auroville in Dec 2005, not the first time i’ve been there but def got more perspective this time.
If I had to describe Auroville in one line, self sustained, peaceful, almost serene…equally reflected in its residents.

Everyone is welcome here, I was amazed to see that folks from all continents calling this palce their home, coexisting in harmony with nature.

Trivia: Auroville was founded on a barren stretch of land almost 60 years ago..by a determined set of people who vowed to convert this place. and they did.. Auroville is lush green now..

More to learn; community reaction to tsunami

I’d never seen so many white people in one place in India before. I was only there only a week, long enough to realize that it would take a while to figure out what’s going on here – e.g. the relationship between Auroville and the surrounding communities.

I was there when the tsunami hit in December 2005, so first/second-hand learned how much immediate service was done totally ad hoc – the tiny restaurant just outside Auroville that i was eating in every day just started making extra food, then got a truck and drove it to wherever people from the coast had moved to.
