Establishing the Town

Finally in 1968, Mirra established a town where Aurobindo’s visions had become a reality. He had wanted a new form of individual and collective life that was apart from the norm. It was, for him, the first step toward a better and brighter earth. A mind peopled by those who have gone beyond the conscious mind, or in the Supreme Mother’s words, she called it the “Supermind” or “The Supramental.”

A Town Born

Auroville came to be as a result of Mirra and Aurobindo’s vision. It started out as an experiment on human unity based on the beliefs they’ve gathered in their study on spirituality. People of diversified backgrounds can come together and in their effort to prove this right, the Mother and her followers built a paradise that the rest of the world will come to envy.
