This felicitous week celebrates Mother’s birthday as well as Auroville’s birthday together as one extended festival. The festival is one more occasion for us to celebrate oneness.
Friendship with the Bioregion
Auroville is carved out of Tamilnadu and Puducherry. Auroville has a special relationship with the nearby villages, as many of the Aurovilians belong to the local area and many others have work related connections. The Auroville Festival is an initiative to strengthen the friendship by providing opportunities to enable and engage individuals in innovative and inspiring methods.
Celebrate towards Sri Aurobindo's 150th Anniversary
Auroville is also known as the City of Dawn - the city the earth needs. With the amount of globalisation and urbanisation the cities around are under great stress and are in urgent need for Unity, Amity and Fraternity. The Auroville Festival - Unity 22 - this year, highlights the important qualities to enlighten, embrace and embed them deep within and further share with the world.
