  • Auroville wants to be a universal town where men and women of all countries are able to live in peace and progressive harmony above all creeds, all politics and all nationalities. The purpose of Auroville is to realise human unity.
  • Peter Hees who has betrayed our Lord, The Mother and Sri Aurobindo by writing the book 'The Life of Sri Aurobindo' is a traitor and does not deserve either to be in the Ashram or in Auroville. If he is hiding in Auroville please kick him out, dont give him shelter or asylum.
