|
|
Immensely audacious and, to many, a natively idealistic experiment, Auroville is a township founded in 1968 by the Mother, a French collaborator of Sri Aurobindo Ghose and a great believer in his teachings.She dreamed of a place where "all the fighting instincts of man would be used exclusively to conquer the causes of his sufferings and miseries, to surmount his weaknesses and ignorance, to triumph over his limitations and incapacities ...where the needs of the spirit and the concern for progress would take precedence over the satisfaction of desires and passions."
