- #aurovilleindia #auroville #aurovillediaries #aurovillelife #aurovillecommunity #aurovillepondicherry #aurovillelibrary #pondicherry We stayed inside Auroville for 8 days to know its Life, Landscape & Lifestyle. We explored various Residential complexes inside Auroville to see the design, architecture, and the way Auroviliens live.
Auroville is an experimental township located in the state of Tamil Nadu in southern India. It was founded in 1968 by Mirra Alfassa, also known as "The Mother," who was a spiritual collaborator of Sri Aurobindo. The main vision behind Auroville is to create a universal town where people from different countries, cultures, and backgrounds can live together in peace and harmony. It aims to be a place where humanity can progress toward its higher potential and explore the possibilities of human unity.
Auroville is organized as an international community and governed by the Auroville Foundation, under the Ministry of Human Resource Development of the Government of India. It is recognized as an "International Township" and has its own constitution, aiming to ensure that all residents have equal rights and opportunities. The architecture of Auroville reflects its ideals of sustainability and harmony with nature. The township is known for its unique and innovative buildings, combining traditional and modern techniques. Matrimandir, a prominent landmark of Auroville, is a golden spherical structure that serves as a meditation centre and focal point for the community.
Residents of Auroville, known as Aurovilians, come from various countries and engage in a wide range of activities, including agriculture, education, art, handicrafts, and renewable energy initiatives. The community emphasizes self-sufficiency and sustainable living practices. Auroville is open to visitors, who can explore the township, participate in workshops and events, and experience the community's way of life. The town attracts people seeking a spiritual or alternative lifestyle and has become a popular destination for those interested in meditation, yoga, and holistic practices.
I see so many haters, grammar nazis and picky nazis, why this is like this not like that.

In Auroville's embrace, where spirits soar,
A dance with nature, we long for more.
From humble earth, to golden sphere,
Unity blooms, both far and near.
In the stillness of trees and the whispering breeze,
Find your peace, as the heart sees.
A place where all converge and thrive,
Close to the earth, we come alive.
Thanks for drawing such a vivid picture
My dream to live that type of place always

Thanks
Thanks for watching.
Are the guest rooms economical or expensive?
How about food cost ? Do you have the provision to cook ? As your studio had a kitchen.
Thank you!
Prices of rooms in the Auroville fluctuate from season to season. Like right now its high season and the rates will be at its peak. The rates go down during the monsoons. Some are available with kitchenette. But if you are going as tourists its better to eat outside. Incase you are wanting to stay for long duration its better to look for hostels ,especially for women.
Thank you 👍
provide how much everything cost room rent food cost per meal and other necessary details
Ok next time
What was the guesthouse tarrif and how to book
Thanks for watching our video. Most of the guesthouses in Auroville show up online. That's how we booked and we paid tariff between 2000-2500 , but they differ from season to season.

Thanks very well covered
Thanks a ton ❤️

What is the criteria
Everything is available on the Internet, just type it.
Who owns it?
जितना सुंदर अरोविल है वर्णन की भाषा भी उतनी ही सुंदर होनी चाहिए।
Absolutely. Hope we lived up to it.
What were the charges of guest house
Thanks for appreciating our video. You can see the charges for all the guest houses in Auroville on the Net. Charges vary from season to season.
What is the price to stay in the guest house?
Please see on the internet. Prices vary season to season.
Cost of guest house ??
Thanks for watching our video. As we have mentioned in our earlier comments also the room tariffs of the guest houses in the Auroville are available on the Net. The tariffs vary from season to season so its always better to have a look before
Can we buy house in auroville
🙏🙏👍🎉❤🎉
Thanks for your appreciation
Does anyone know how much is the membership for one to be a member of this community 🤔?
To the best of our knowledge, one has to put in some years of service for the community after which you might/might not be absorbed in the Auroville community. It's a long drawn out procedure, available on the Net.
@happygotravelers good to know and thanks for your prompt response 🙏❤️
Its id really all of free for life Time..?
What is your query, could not understand
@@happygotravelers Is it true that everything is free there? For life time stay.....? And please details me job option
Maam how much you paid for the stay in your guest house per day?
Thanks for watching our video. We changed 2-3 guesthouses during our stay in Auroville and we paid between 2000-2500 per night. The rates change as per the season.
Accomodation charges?
Every guest house and tariffs are available on Auroville site..please check online
@@happygotravelers sir every guest house is mentioned but tariffs not mentioned.
One has to email the guesthouse to know the tariff and availability. Guesthouses are divided into different categories, you can choose the guesthouse as per your budget and requirements.
Beautiful. Thanks
Thanks. Good to know you liked it.
Kya pure Aurovilli city me light nahi hai?
Aisa nahi hai. Auroville campus main electricity bilkul hai. Yeh zaroor hai roads shayed utni badiya litup nahi hoti raat ko, kyunki uski zaroraat nahi hai. Auroville campus ke andhar bahut secure hai, hamesha private guards hote hai. Jo commercial establishments hai unme to power backups bhi hai.
@happygotravelers jawab dene ka bhot bhot sukriya 🙏 kya aap se bat ho sakti hai ham waha jana chate hai
@HazratFatimaFatima aap humse pooch sakte hain.Aap kahan se hain aur Kab jana chahte hain?
If you are comfortable with sharing your email here, we can get in touch with you. Thanks
Want to visit and stay for few days . Pl guide how to go about it.
Make a booking in advance at any of the guesthouse within Auroville. You can book online guesthouses.auroville.org website
To go around the campus you can walk or rent a cycle or a scooty
Info about the activities and events is available at the visitors centre or in the events section on Auroville site
I don't know the experience if you're living there for some days, but if it's a one fay trip, it's an absolute waste of time. They just show you the matrimandir from a distance after making you walk for 30 mins. Also, for a community that believes in cashlessness, there's all kind of money making mechanisms in the area. Not worth for one day trip. Probably not worth living too, because you need to give up all your personal property.
Thanks for watching our video. You are right, what we experienced in Auroville over a period of one week was our experience and not everyone's experience is similar. About the later half of your comment , guess you mean that you don't become the absolute owner of the property even if you manage to get to stay in Auroville as a resident, you are right.
auroville is special. but I was disappointed to see so much filth accumulated just outside Auroville. I had hoped that the magic would have rubbed outside the walls also.
So true. I can relate to what you are saying. Somehow the civic sense doesn't come to us naturally. Strangely though, when some of us go abroad the same civic sense seems to reappear like magic!
@@happygotravelers so true. but even if you go to "India town" abroad it looks run down and dirty or even the Indian grocery store looks shabby and chaotic compared to a regular store. ajeeb chakkar hai!
That's really disheartening. Genes ka gadbad Hai.
Should leave cars outside the village except for emergency
Totally agree
Your father is super board 😅 don't take him again
commentary sucks .. place is ok
Thanks for your valuable input
She never claimed to be a professional journalist
Thanks for the clarification 👍
If you are so much hung on sustainability then why use cars. Why not use bullock cart. Sustainability is pronounced as FASHION ABILITY
Most of the Aurovilleans use either bicycles or just walk. It's only us tourists using cars :)
We think you have a good point here @pradeepsingh , I am sure what you said was in the minds of the founders of Auroville. But it seems things have changed over a period of time. Maybe the present administration doesn't have that much freedom. I mean we can only speculate. One thing is for sure, there seems to be lot of dissatisfaction in the way Auroville is being run nowadays, reasons unknown.
Matri Mandir inside orvi sundar hai..
I am sure. We could not visit this time. Maybe next time.
You are right about "Fashion ability" of the bicycle in the cities in Europe and it is also an answer to sustainability.
Why go for a bullock cart ? It is not fashionable atall.
My humble request to all to try to be polite in their remarks.
Please try to be.
Why not just speak in Hindi, use of some words in English makes it sound weird that too the pronunciation
Thanks for watching the video. Since our videos are meant for everyone not just hindi speaking audience, we try and keep a balance between both English and Hindi. Not sure what did you find wierd about the pronunciation.
@@happygotravelers either make in Hindi or just English. This shows that you are trying to be English but making in Hindi. Pronunciation in English whenever those words are used is not good. That’s why I am suggesting don’t use English words in between. If you can understand and take this feedback than it’s up to you
I speak and understand only English and understood every word in English she said and I am guessing that English is not her first language. Her pronunciation is very good. You are just being rude. Like she said the video is for everyone not just Hindi speakers. There was also English subtitles too which I was very grateful for. Too many videos made by Indian people are out on You Tube but non speakers of Hindi are unable to understand. You’re a very critical person so should just be respectful
You sure have made your point. Thanks. As you rightly said we try to make our videos bilingual as much as we can. And sometimes we do take help of subtitles. We like everyone to enjoy our videos.
It's a scam
Why ?
@@happygotravelers Everything looks good from the outside but once you start living there, you'll see it's not what it appears to be. I used to live near Pondicherry.. So I know. There's all the usual societal problems - drugs, prostitaution et..,
Something we were not aware of
@@RadharamanDas-x4u oh.. so something like rajaneeshpuram
Its high time indians learn sustainable living. The country is overpopulated and cars are occupying small cities
Rightly said. Actually we all evolved from that style of living to the present mess.
ARE THEY CITIZEN OF INDIA ?
Without Visa, Western countries didn't even let Modi in.
I don't think Indian need another EIC
