Описание: #auroville #matrimandir #spirituality

In this series we interview Aurovilians about their personal experiences with the Matrimandir in Auroville. Today it is Mona. She came to Auroville in 1987 to do her internship as an architecture student. In 1988 Mona started working at the Matrimandir, which was being built. In 1989 she worked on her thesis on the Matrimandir and the Pyramids. And now Mona simply feel grateful to have the Matrimandir around her…

This Web series is a human experiment, looking into how the aurovilliens relate to the soul of Auroville - the Matrimandir. Hoping that this is the common ground for human unity. The dream is to interview all citizens of Auroville.

At the very centre of Auroville one finds the 'soul of the city', the Matrimandir.
The name 'Matrimandir' literally means 'Temple of the Mother'. According to Sri Aurobindo, the 'Mother' concept stands for the great evolutionary, conscious and intelligent principle of Life, the Universal Mother, - which seeks to help humanity move beyond its present limitations into the next stage of its evolutionary adventure, the supramental consciousness.

The Matrimandir can be viewed as a large golden sphere which seems to be emerging out of the earth, symbolising the birth of a new consciousness. Situated in a large open area called 'Peace', from where the future township will radiate outwards. Since the past 50 years, Matrimandir's slow and steady progress towards completion has been followed by many. The atmosphere is quiet and charged, and the area beautiful.

The Matrimandir is in the midst of a garden divided into 12 individually named parks such as "Harmony", "Bliss", Perfection", Progress", "Consciousness", etc., each with their variety of flowers, shrubs and trees. The Mother envisaged the Matrimandir as the "symbol of the Divine's answer to man's aspiration for perfection" and as "the central cohesive force" for the growth of Auroville.

Auroville is a universal town where men and women of all countries can live in peace and progressive harmony above all creeds, all politics and all nationalities.

The purpose of Auroville is to realise universal human unity.
