Auroville Information?
Since we are on environmental conservation, have any of you heard of or been to Auroville? I'm taking a trip there and wondered if anyone has been and had any thoughts to share, etc

A ray of hope!
Yes, I've been down to Auroville. A nice rural commune of mostly French settlers who are followers of Sri Aurobindo. They have built a temple in the shape of a huge globe and when you enter the shrine all you see is a ray of light in a darkened circular hall. It has a surreal effect and you can sit there and meditate.
Transport to the village can be arranged from the Ashram in Pondicherry. |

Thank you yogagal for moving my query. For some reason I was under the impression that at least one of the heritage hotels in Auroville were enriching reclaimed soil and using contemporary eco friendly power, architecture, etc. I am of course interested in Aurovilled but I am especially interested in the green technology they may (or may not be)employing.
