Description
This book is about the very early days of Auroville based on interviews made in 1997 with Aurovilians who lived here between 1968 and 1973, most of them fortunate enough to see the Mother personally. There are obviously far more people who could have been interviewed and were not, so the accounts presented offer only their insight into the full story. Nevertheless, I hope this narrative of the life of a few of Auroville’s pioneers will touch and inspire many of the readers.
The interviews presented in this book are part of a history program for newcomers that I had created with my friend, Philip Melville in 1997. The plan was to divide Auroville's history into different eras and then interview Aurovilians according to their area of knowledge. Our first section would cover the years from 1968 till 1973 when the Mother was still in her physical body.
We made 10 group conversations, which I transcribed over the next few months. We then took a break, before starting the next part, which would have been about our struggles and eventual break with the Sri Aurobindo Society.
However for reasons which I no longer remember, we did not resume working on this project and the video tapes stayed in a cupboard for the next 8 or 9 years.
I am grateful for all the support I received to give birth to this book. My special thank you goes to: Kati Hötger for working with me on this book over two long years; Pranav Kumar for the development and design of the book and this web book; Doris van Kalker and Digital Archives of Auroville for providing many of the pictures; and Prisma Books and Franz Fassbender for embarking on the adventure of this first web book of / on Auroville, and for publishing the book.
