i never realize we had community like this in india. With all this religious issues and economics issues it would be nice to live in society like this which provide calmness to ur mind and body.
@@sairasairasaira757 What is going on? I have visited this place more than 20 years ago. Not my cup of tea because I am not religious or spiritual. Seemed to me kind of extended holiday, gap year place for those who have money. Poor locals not welcome except as workers.
Am at Auroville currently.It’s a nice enough place however one thing I have noticed is it is mostly locals doing all the hard work and non Indians doing meditation,art etc.How is this equality ? You never see non Indians and Indians communicate unless it is transactional.Of the non Indians it’s mostly caucasians and no black or Asians.Ofcourse there are some exceptions but does this not go against the very philosophy on which this place was founded.Worth a visit but personally I would prefer Pondicherry or other places in India.Very hipster vibe here.On the bright side you have good organic food,nice beaches,cool guest houses with lots of greenery and matrmandir dome.
Yes, I've lived on many alt. communities around the world, & there's no "perfect community". Some seem that way for the first few weeks, but eventually, the politics become evident. Also, the U.N. connection here would concern me (those awake among u will have felt the same)...
I'm sure because the community consists of humans it has all the problems of people everywhere---it is not perfect, that would be an illusion. It is likely just as crazy as any place if not more so.

I'll give you a clue, it's in India Second clue, it's in South India Third clue, it's in my video title which you guys probably definitely saw before clicking on this video
It is so simple when we really think about it, right? Create a community where everybody's basic needs are met: food, water, shelter, healthcare. Remove the stress of labor-for-income and remove as much need for money and competitive business and you have a community of about 3,000 very happy, healthy people! We can do that everywhere. We just had to follow a similar formula. But many countries and communities have some reorienting to do!
David is a traveller from Israel. He wanted to volunteer in Auroville just like other travellers do but he cannot afford it. “It is quite stupid actually. Money is taken from young people to volunteer in the various units. The volunteers have to pay while volunteering as well. But he or she doesn’t get paid to do. There is a lot of money in Auroville. But where does it all go? I don’t know. I am leaving in a few days and as much as I would love to stay here. I can’t afford it.”
No potential, no opportunity, no potential, no hope? There are certain fundamentals that many of these "experiments" often overlook. The "drum major" instinct that resides in so many of us is vital to our existence and our development as a species. The need, the drive to produce more from less, to provide for an ever increasing population; to cope with novel viruses and diseases, these all require a fundamental inner thrust forward as a community and society. That can't be overlooked. It's true we have excesses; injustice and inequality reign supreme. Yet the benefits, I would suggest, do ultimately far out way any negative connotations that may exist and are of fundamental importance to the future of humanity.
Never, If I say 90% of the people do not want a world where they have no motivation or incentive to work hard to gain more ( economically or socially).
I was a teacher at Aurobindo school Chandigarh. Didn't get a chance to visit Auroville , but it stands no. 1 on my bucket list. Thanks for showing us the video
so you're ok with settler colonialism? White people once again coming to indigenous lands and taking over with "their" view of the world. Nothing about the place preaches what Sri Aurobindo stood for. Wake the f up.

It's just not sustainable without Indian,UN,UNESCO support and of course resident's personal money brought from outside.. And few non Aurovill villages inside and outside help a lot in commercial exchanges and viability of community..Of course tourists flocking from all over the world also help by purchasing little handcrafted things by inmates/residents,and they are usually less valuable things and aesthetically the whole of Aurovill is less appealing including the Mathrimandir.. What is the negative side in all things is,it is taking U turn on thousands of years of human achievements and compelling one to go back to periods before civilisations..
A correction - Auroville was created by Mirra Alfassa, also fondly known as 'The Mother', who was an Avatar of The Divine Mother. The Mother did not start Auroville to serve as an Utopia as imagined by humans based on external superficial ideals of unity but rather on finding the Divine within oneself and on a rising above the state of the present human consciousness. In fact, the first and foremost condition that The Mother laid down in Her charter was that one must be a willing servitor of the Divine.
@@Narconecrotix that's how I felt when I visited. The wording and the fact they didn't have a single picture of "the mother" all gave cultish vibes. But I think it really is just a community of people who want to create a utopian society.
I have been this place long time back,it was not completed then.My both the children’s are studied in Mothers International School Delhi.So I completely agreed you will get peace of mind there.
Many people will never actually visit India,but, I hope that everyone can visit this page and watch! It's awesome to view and consider- maybe this will inspire many more people and organizations to develop new ideas!
i just heard of auroville lately and was checking out their website a bit and looking on youtube what there is and found your video. love it! love your energy!! and i so want to go there myself!! i think this could really be a great place to live! many many great things like taking the focus off of money and on the human. love for humans, nature, equality are things that come to my mind when i think about this place. hopefully travelling will be back to normal soon and i can go there soon and check it out in real not just virtually! sending much love! :)
I am chef aged 62. I wish live and serve and make food. Be with the people and elevate spatial abilities in more which will be great connection to community. I wish proper and honest guidance to me. I am Bharatiya. Living in Hyderabad. Thanks for the support .
Being such a fascinating place i wonder why there are only around 3000 people living there! I just feel like i belong to this place. Its such a wonderful way of presenting all of this in such a short time. Thank you for this wonderful video. And yes i would love to live here.
There are only 3000 people because they directly indirectly forces you to leave your religion, abandon your beliefs, you can't worship your God there. So this place being in India whare people are struggling and dying from around just about 1000 years to keep there religion alive.... It doesn't make sense to just leave all that to become a hippie.
@@sajidsohail7088 why do you think you are soo important that God will come to save you from a virus. Humans are a tiny puny insignificant creation in this universe. You are a insignificant life in this universe with a multi universe seized pride😂😂 it's makes even worst. Besides it's not god's work to reach us in need, it's truelly our work to do enough that we can access god when in need A virus maybe a enemy for humans but it's just a life form for God.

God pls keep this place safe from Evil eyes n d people who live here too.... Peace is d ultimate achievements in one's life n therefore Money Shouldn't b involved in this Novel place.... Heaven made on Earth Soon Looking forward to b thr
This is the first video I watched from your channel; I don't know in your personal life how positive you are.. but here you are showing very positivity if you're same everywhere "I like you" 😊😊
I agree, but to get there takes much more time and effort, you would also have to ask the hundreds or possibly even thousands of people who have put all their faith, effort and financial resources into the community, to eventually realize that things are not what they seem to even long term visitors. Not all that shines is gold, and where there is light there is also darkness.
1. The idea of the community actually came from Sri Aurobindo, an Indian freedom fighter - not sure why this wasn't mentioned? 2. Residents don't just play and make art and meditate all day - they are expected to volunteer, work and contribute eg through cooking, working the land or developing new technological solutions. When you eventually qualify for maintenance it's around 5,000 rs per month. Although it seems a lot of the westerners don't have to volunteer as much and Indian workers are employed to do the majority of the shlep work - because the westerners contribute big $$$ 3. It is by no means crime free and women have been attacked numerous times in the past. For this reason, Auroville's own tourism information website advises women to never travel alone at night and to practice modesty at all times. To the point where they discourage sunbaking as it is seen by local men as an invitation, and the website says sometimes it's safer to just swim fully clothed. 4. For a "free" society it seems to have just as much bureaucracy as the rest of India, or Europe for that matter, in terms of lining up to complete a tonne of registrations and paperwork, not to mention politics and infighting. 5. Mounds of trash dumped on the side of the road, just like the rest of India - not great for the environment and not great for tourism from western countries, where dumping trash is a no no. Doesn't exactly sound like the utopia it was envisaged to be, and find in light of this that this video is somewhat superficial and irresponsible.
Completely agree. A very superficial portrayal of the place… A lot of important information has been left out, starting with a mention of Sri Aurobindo, whose dream this was, which the Mother later undertook! People should google for more information!
There are only 3000 people there because they directly indirectly forces you to leave your religion, abandon your beliefs, you can't worship your God there. So this place being in India whare people are struggling and dying from around just about 1000 years to keep there religion alive.... It doesn't make sense to just leave all that to become a hippie.
@@abirnigam8816 and live you money too :) ,,,,the first rule is to donate your money, you can stay 6 month there and 6 month going to the country you belong to work for paying the amazing life in Auroville ,,it is some ''strange'' rules there,,,not easy for normal people, you have to be rich enough! beautiful place to be visitor only!
I visited Auroville for about 4 days earlier this year. It was a pretty amazing, peaceful place. I also visited the sound garden (no sound bath, though) and also met Krishna at the restaurant that his community runs. I also had a chance to go into the Matrimandir, which is quite an experience (even for me... who is definitely not into meditation). Overall, it is a bit of "old hippy" ville, and I think some of the comments about how people talk about The Mother being a bit cultish are correct, but I found it to be a very worthwhile experience and a place filled with open, accepting people.
Hey Shehnaz, I went to Auroville in 2017 in a hope to experience the very sense of community living which you showed in this video. Didn't get to see the school, the sound garden etc but only the Maitri Mandir that too from outside since we didn't have any prior reservations for it. Does this require some special tour booking or any other requirement? Would love to see more about this place and hopefully visit Auroville and Pondicherry again!
I was there 2019 for two weeks. It was no problem to visit the park and enter the Matrimandir. I was inside it twice in the two weeks and i even meditated in the chambers and the main hall. It's a calm place and it's good and intelligent, that there is a reservation process. Otherwise it wouldn't be a calm place to meditate anymore. And the park and the Matrimandir is mainly for Aurovillians, the residents to relax and meditate and not primarly for tourists. It's good, like it is now.
believe me, it is not so easy to be part of Auroville, I was there in december 2019, and according to someone who lives already there ( Russian teacher of sanskrit language ) it is very difficult,,,there are a lot creepy rules! When you see things like a visitor is amazing, but you have to observe the reality! I don't want to say much about it.... You have to go there to inform about,,,,
Bansuri Beach Resorts near Sandunes is one of the best. Very close to the Beach, Classy. I stayed there during my vacation to Pondicherry. Its very rare to have such resorts very close to a famous spot, with such facilities at a budget price. Also it provides free entry to Sandunes❤❤❤. Must go 😍😍
This looks like kindergarten. The only place valuable would be inside the matri mandir. Quiet and peaceful. Any way, the only place valuable anywhere is always the heart and the inside part. Thanks for avoiding me wasting my time to ever go to Auroville. Love to Sri Aurobindo and Mother. Peace.

@@abirnigam8816 sounds like paradise. Religion just divides us, were all human beings at the end of the day we all come from and go to the same place . Religion is brainwashed into us as kids & is culture reinforced. Love is universal & doesnt belong to any 1 specific religion. Have a blessed day brotha. Transcend cultural boundaries
@@PachamamaGLORY that's your choice. I a proud Sanatani Hindu will never abandon me religion. My religion doesn't divide, it unites me with all the people in the world ( Vasudev Kutumbakam) and the god. You decide to forget secrefices made by your ancestors, ( Chatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, Guru Gobind SinghJi aur 4 saahibzade) and million more that's your choice. Me including about a billion people on Bharat won't. And you know that there way of living is nothing great and revolutionary, is just communist. They are living in peace because a lot of external money is pouring in and also they're getting a lot of sex. Once the money stops... They'll be our of this place in no time.
@@PachamamaGLORY it's not successful because no doctors who perform complex surgeries which requires immense amount of talent would like to earn same as a sweeper. That's communist 😂😂 On paper they earn 12k but every year millions of dollars are coming in from all over the world. Where is that going. Once they money stops... That doctor will be out of thet place in real world where he can get paid according to his talant. Than with no doctors there when the sweeper catches infection, he'll go out as well.... Without him the place will go filthy she that's how a chain reaction starts. We live in a capitalistic society and there a reason behind that. There a reason the only two communist next countries in world have a capitalist economic system. There's a reason some in history and now as well go through immense amount of tourcher and sacrifice there life to protect there religion. Perhaps your new to this hippie culture that's why it's looking appeasing to you. You should also know that Government have a investigation prob launched on your residents of heaven for money corruption and sex offences. I guess that's what happens when hippies decides to go communist.
@@abirnigam8816 i think the only ones prouder than you are the top dogs benefiting from all the non profit organizational funds sanatani hindus pour into their religion. Religions separate, theye not what they used to be, divide and conquer is the goal, you think theyre in the business of enlightening you or saving your soul? Forget it, CONTROL . Ive met got, ive found the answers i was looking for & the god i met didnt tell me religion was the answer to truth. Universal Love and peace will always prevail.

@@Narconecrotix that's how I felt when I visited. The wording and the fact they didn't have a single picture of "the mother" all gave cultish vibes. But I think it really is just a community of people who want to create a utopian society.
I have been this place long time back,it was not completed then.My both the children’s are studied in Mothers International School Delhi.So I completely agreed you will get peace of mind there.
A unique place and those musical instruments were amazing.
I wish the whole world was like this and all humans would like this… close to nature, nurturing each other. In peace, in freedoms and in consciousness
I have been in Auroville in 2019. It was the best experience of my life! Since that time my only target is to be and stay there for ever!
Then wht happend..why u left?
... and how long did were you there ?
No place is perfect. As humans live here, it is likely just as crazy or more so than any other place. Thanks for showing the place.
Looks good but in the end I would like to live in pure nature somewhere in Norway, Finland or Canada. Just me and the absolute purity.
Many people will never actually visit India,but, I hope that everyone can visit this page and watch! It's awesome to view and consider- maybe this will inspire many more people and organizations to develop new ideas!
i just heard of auroville lately and was checking out their website a bit and looking on youtube what there is and found your video. love it! love your energy!! and i so want to go there myself!! i think this could really be a great place to live! many many great things like taking the focus off of money and on the human. love for humans, nature, equality are things that come to my mind when i think about this place. hopefully travelling will be back to normal soon and i can go there soon and check it out in real not just virtually! sending much love! :)
I am chef aged 62. I wish live and serve and make food.
Be with the people and elevate spatial abilities in more which will be great connection to community. I wish proper and honest guidance to me.
I am Bharatiya. Living in Hyderabad.
Thanks for the support .
Literally dis vid was referred by our teacher😍💖, this place looks like heaven on earth
Very nice job on showing more about auroville. I want to be there.
Being such a fascinating place i wonder why there are only around 3000 people living there! I just feel like i belong to this place. Its such a wonderful way of presenting all of this in such a short time. Thank you for this wonderful video. And yes i would love to live here.
There are only 3000 people because they directly indirectly forces you to leave your religion, abandon your beliefs, you can't worship your God there.
So this place being in India whare people are struggling and dying from around just about 1000 years to keep there religion alive.... It doesn't make sense to just leave all that to become a hippie.
@@abirnigam8816Fuck God, He's nowhere to be seen except in your belief system

@@sajidsohail7088 why do you think you are soo important that God will come to save you from a virus. Humans are a tiny puny insignificant creation in this universe.
You are a insignificant life in this universe with a multi universe seized pride😂😂 it's makes even worst. Besides it's not god's work to reach us in need, it's truelly our work to do enough that we can access god when in need
A virus maybe a enemy for humans but it's just a life form for God. Why would god side with you and go against the virus
Lion pray a deer everyday, if God will go to deers aid the lion will starve and die.
Look like a lot of fun....
I wonder how thier elder retire, there
Interesting and Inspiring vid.Auroville,is established by Rishi Aurobindo Ghosh and Mirra Alfassa( Srimaa.Sound Garden and Bath is absolutely amazing.
God pls keep this place safe from Evil eyes n d people who live here too....
Peace is d ultimate achievements in one's life n therefore Money Shouldn't b involved in this Novel place....
Heaven made on Earth
Soon Looking forward to b thr
I have visited Auroville three times for two weeks. This is really amazing. And I think you missed Gaia's Garden.
This is the first video I watched from your channel; I don't know in your personal life how positive you are.. but here you are showing very positivity if you're same everywhere "I like you" 😊😊
so no progress, no competition just chilling all day. hmmmmmm no I'll pass, but might visit on a vacation or something.
And no connection to other people, everybody on its own
@@oreradovanovi5204 that's just sad
Thank you Shenaz. A wonderful docu. well presented.
Very interesting content , and lovingly explored
Yes we would love love to!😍😍😍 every country should have its own Auroville😍
Wish you could experience the dark side of Auroville as well and show that to world as well!
I agree, but to get there takes much more time and effort, you would also have to ask the hundreds or possibly even thousands of people who have put all their faith, effort and financial resources into the community, to eventually realize that things are not what they seem to even long term visitors.
Not all that shines is gold, and where there is light there is also darkness.
Which kind of experience ? pls tell us
Please, tell us. I'd like to know it
I really don't know such a society exist in india amazing .
Wow I never wanted this video to end. So can anyone visit?
Yes want to go there definitely
This video got different vibe💚✌️
I was going there for some work and, idk how this video popped to my suggestions but damn now I'm excited.
All welcome to Tamil Nadu
1. The idea of the community actually came from Sri Aurobindo, an Indian freedom fighter - not sure why this wasn't mentioned? 2. Residents don't just play and make art and meditate all day - they are expected to volunteer, work and contribute eg through cooking, working the land or developing new technological solutions. When you eventually qualify for maintenance it's around 5,000 rs per month. Although it seems a lot of the westerners don't have to volunteer as much and Indian workers are employed to do the majority of the shlep work - because the westerners contribute big $$$ 3. It is by no means crime free and women have been attacked numerous times in the past. For this reason, Auroville's own tourism information website advises women to never travel alone at night and to practice modesty at all times. To the point where they discourage sunbaking as it is seen by local men as an invitation, and the website says sometimes it's safer to just swim fully clothed. 4. For a "free" society it seems to have just as much bureaucracy as the rest of India, or Europe for that matter, in terms of lining up to complete a tonne of registrations and paperwork, not to mention politics and infighting. 5. Mounds of trash dumped on the side of the road, just like the rest of India - not great for the environment and not great for tourism from western countries, where dumping trash is a no no. Doesn't exactly sound like the utopia it was envisaged to be, and find in light of this that this video is somewhat superficial and irresponsible.
Completely agree. A very superficial portrayal of the place…
A lot of important information has been left out, starting with a mention of Sri Aurobindo, whose dream this was, which the Mother later undertook! People should google for more information!
Really a great place. If the whole world gets transformed into Auroville would be the best.
There are only 3000 people there because they directly indirectly forces you to leave your religion, abandon your beliefs, you can't worship your God there.

@@abirnigam8816 and live you money too :) ,,,,the first rule is to donate your money, you can stay 6 month there and 6 month going to the country you belong to work for paying the amazing life in Auroville ,,it is some ''strange'' rules there,,,not easy for normal people, you have to be rich enough! beautiful place to be visitor only!
I visited Auroville for about 4 days earlier this year. It was a pretty amazing, peaceful place. I also visited the sound garden (no sound bath, though) and also met Krishna at the restaurant that his community runs. I also had a chance to go into the Matrimandir, which is quite an experience (even for me... who is definitely not into meditation). Overall, it is a bit of "old hippy" ville, and I think some of the comments about how people talk about The Mother being a bit cultish are correct, but I found it to be a very worthwhile experience and a place filled with open, accepting people.
Hey Shehnaz, I went to Auroville in 2017 in a hope to experience the very sense of community living which you showed in this video. Didn't get to see the school, the sound garden etc but only the Maitri Mandir that too from outside since we didn't have any prior reservations for it.
Does this require some special tour booking or any other requirement? Would love to see more about this place and hopefully visit Auroville and Pondicherry again!
yea how do we get to see everything and know about the community same as she has?
Same for me
@@rohitharidas91 oh hi Another Rohit
me too. I hardly saw anyone. The grounds are really nice though, but I'm not sure there is no corruption there.
I was there 2019 for two weeks. It was no problem to visit the park and enter the Matrimandir. I was inside it twice in the two weeks and i even meditated in the chambers and the main hall. It's a calm place and it's good and intelligent, that there is a reservation process. Otherwise it wouldn't be a calm place to meditate anymore. And the park and the Matrimandir is mainly for Aurovillians, the residents to relax and meditate and not primarly for tourists. It's good, like it is now.
I would love to visit Auroville. And when I go, I want you to be my guide.
i want to move and live there!!!! seriously!!! be my guide
believe me, it is not so easy to be part of Auroville, I was there in december 2019, and according to someone who lives already there ( Russian teacher of sanskrit language ) it is very difficult,,,there are a lot creepy rules! When you see things like a visitor is amazing, but you have to observe the reality! I don't want to say much about it.... You have to go there to inform about,,,,
@@ellaa.2096 can you elaborate those creepy rules please?
Hi I am doing tourism all over India, so many places you can see in india lik this...
I hope there will be more Auroville on the planet.
Bansuri Beach Resorts near Sandunes is one of the best. Very close to the Beach, Classy. I stayed there during my vacation to Pondicherry. Its very rare to have such resorts very close to a famous spot, with such facilities at a budget price. Also it provides free entry to Sandunes❤❤❤. Must go 😍😍
Nope. Come to our ashram instead. Sex is free 24/7.
I would love to go there someday.
Your joy in describing the place shed tears from the eyes 🙏😍❤️🌞🌻. I've been to auroville many times.
I'm going next week on 25th December'2020. This year was tough, wanted to end it on a positive note with family.
I hope entire india becomes like this😊
I wish u and drew binsky do a collab soon 😩❤️
Awesome 😍
Can't wait to visit here😍
I wish I could go live there 🥺♥️
This looks like kindergarten.
The only place valuable would be inside the matri mandir. Quiet and peaceful. Any way, the only place valuable anywhere is always the heart and the inside part. Thanks for avoiding me wasting my time to ever go to Auroville. Love to Sri Aurobindo and Mother. Peace.
Wish the world was like auroville. Just gonna have to start my own auroville.
There are only 3000 people there because they directly indirectly forces you to leave your religion, abandon your beliefs, you can't worship your God there.

@@abirnigam8816 sounds like paradise. Religion just divides us, were all human beings at the end of the day we all come from and go to the same place . Religion is brainwashed into us as kids & is culture reinforced. Love is universal & doesnt belong to any 1 specific religion. Have a blessed day brotha. Transcend cultural boundaries
@@PachamamaGLORY that's your choice. I a proud Sanatani Hindu will never abandon me religion.
My religion doesn't divide, it unites me with all the people in the world ( Vasudev Kutumbakam) and the god.
You decide to forget secrefices made by your ancestors, ( Chatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, Guru Gobind SinghJi aur 4 saahibzade) and million more that's your choice. Me including about a billion people on Bharat won't.
And you know that there way of living is nothing great and revolutionary, is just communist.
They are living in peace because a lot of external money is pouring in and also they're getting a lot of sex. Once the money stops... They'll be our of this place in no time.
@@PachamamaGLORY it's not successful because no doctors who perform complex surgeries which requires immense amount of talent would like to earn same as a sweeper. That's communist 😂😂
On paper they earn 12k but every year millions of dollars are coming in from all over the world. Where is that going. Once they money stops... That doctor will be out of thet place in real world where he can get paid according to his talant. Than with no doctors there when the sweeper catches infection, he'll go out as well.... Without him the place will go filthy she that's how a chain reaction starts. We live in a capitalistic society and there a reason behind that. There a reason the only two communist next countries in world have a capitalist economic system. There's a reason some in history and now as well go through immense amount of tourcher and sacrifice there life to protect there religion.
Perhaps your new to this hippie culture that's why it's looking appeasing to you.
You should also know that Government have a investigation prob launched on your residents of heaven for money corruption and sex offences.
I guess that's what happens when hippies decides to go communist.
@@abirnigam8816 i think the only ones prouder than you are the top dogs benefiting from all the non profit organizational funds sanatani hindus pour into their religion. Religions separate, theye not what they used to be, divide and conquer is the goal, you think theyre in the business of enlightening you or saving your soul? Forget it, CONTROL . Ive met got, ive found the answers i was looking for & the god i met didnt tell me religion was the answer to truth. Universal Love and peace will always prevail.
Wow! A UN sponsored hippie commune?! That would be ideal.
yeah, honestly, it’s pretty rad the UN got involved
OMGG! Take me there plsss
Definately would love solo tripping here
Always welcome you mam
