Unity

According to Auroville’s official website, it wants to be “a universal town where men and women of all countries are able to live in peace and progressive harmony above all needs, all politics, and all nationalities. The purpose of Auroville is to realize human unity.”

Location

So, where exactly is this haven? Auroville is located in the southern part of India, where most of the area is found in the Tamil Nadu state. Some of Auroville’s parts are also located in the Puducherry state. It is a few meters inland from the Coromandel Coast. While it does sound as if it’s in the most inconspicuous area, those who live there say that it’s worth the trip.
