AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

On a different note, what is happening at Auroville? I recently spoke to a guy who shared his experience of staying at Auroville, and the way he was talking, it was like a hedonistic trip, with people just indulging in substances and getting intoxicated. I was so shocked! How can such a thing happen at Auroville? 😵‍💫🍃🙄🌷🌄

Hedonistic types have always been present in Auroville since its early years. In fact, now, due to a strict administration, they are being sent out or sent away, and there is a great pressure upon them to stop these activities. There is nothing to be shocked by any of these things since Auroville is an experimental township where all the world’s problems are taken into to find their true and higher solutions. To leave a section of humanity outside the ambit and influence of the Mother and Sri Aurobindo is to leave that problem unsolved forever, apart from temporary measures. But the Ashram and Auroville are not there for half way measures but for radical solutions for every type of humanity. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da

Home maker is fine and good but a woman’s life cannot be confined to the home nor should her role be limited to bringing up children. This is neither in tune with the demands of our Age nor with our own ancient culture where women participated everything including philosophical discourses, Vedic writings to battle and war and Sciences. Our Saraswati and Durga are examples of the feminine power in different spheres. So whether you have …
