I deem it a great priviledge to land in this site and participate in it. This is the Hour of God, when great and significant changes are to takeplace in the world. It is essential to cultivate universal brotherhood, to be able to call ourselves children of the one mother. I extend my warm welcome and embrace to all everywhere.I welcome reciprocation. May the Divine Mother bless everybody.

Thank you for the opportunity to view this wonderful website. I studied in India as part of my college program, and am seriously considering moving back to live and work within the ashram. Thank you for all of the information here, as well as lists of books by Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. I feel that I will be returning to this website quite often.

I´m reaaaaally interested in yoga and in Auroville. Though my knowledge about all that is quite little. Auroville was brought up to my mind by television and before i didn´t even know about the existence of it. I´m veeery happy, that there is a creative place like this, though i don´t think that I´m mature enough to join you. Maybe I´ll go far deeper and I go there once. RESPECT

Delighted to see a site on Ashram. Though I expected it to be in Pondy and not USA. However very informative site. I did my schooling in Ashram from 64 to 70 and cannot forget those years of my life. The Ashram influence even at the tender age of 5 to 10 years does not dim. I look forward to keeping my contact and reliving the experience through this site.
Kudos for the good work which is due to divine blessing of Sri Aurobindo and Ma Mira.

In 1986 I met someone that stayed at the ashram in India, and he taught me some of what he learned, and told me to read adventures is consciousness. If has been an interesting journey thus far. Baba Muktananda's book called "Chitshaktivilas" or "Play of consciousness" is also another amazing treasure in inner development worth sharing and contemplating. I am greatful for all true saints, and for the seekers of TRUTH and LIGHT. May all be Blessed!

I have been away from India for the last 30 years, working and living in the United States since 1968. I haven't been back to India since 1971 and am planning to return to India, probably as a foreigner and stranger to the place where I was born and brought up, but had left for USA in material pursuits. I am particularly intested to visit the Ashram (or Autoville) to explore the possibility of my leading an active, spiritual life either as member of the Ashram or as a resident of Auroville. I have just begun gathering information, talking to those people who have "been there and done that" and visiting web sites, etc.

The books of Sri Audo... are available at the Chicago Public Library. As I read more about the Hindu religion and the teachings of the great philosophers, I become more intrigued. I have sustained a sporadic and rather quixiotic interest in Hatha Yoga for almost 20 years at this point and I would like to resume serious practice. The idea of becoming a hatha yoga teacher is somewhat appealing. Please place my name in your directory and on all of your E-mailing lists. People interested in this area should feel free to correspond via E-mail.

Last year on the same day I discovered by chance this web-site (you can read it on this date in the archives). Since this time I have deepened my knowledge of the works of Sri Aurobindo and of the Mother, both in English and in French. And I have tried to practice more the supramental yoga in my daily life. And moreover I have found many - international - friends on the Auroconf mailing-list, which I had picked up in the pages "Community On Line" of this Web site.
On this darshan-day 1998 I hope many will read this and will want to join us on the Internet so that our community and our friendship in Their Light and in Their Love can grow. (auroconf@compatible.com)
(French note : si des personnes de langue française veulent prendre contact avec moi pour parler par e-mail de sujets concernant Sri Aurobindo ou Mère, qu'elles n'hésitent pas à cliquer sur mon adresse e-mail et à m'envoyer un mot. Paix à tous)
Om Shanti and long life to this server which is a Light ( and a lighthouse)in the Internet.

Finding your website and "dictionary" has been truly a gift from heaven. One thing, I have heard "Namaste" pronounced 2 different ways: "Nah-mah-STAY" and "NAH-mahst" - Which one?

I'm a Hatha and Bhakti Yoga learner. I've been attending Govinda Math Yoga Center for 5 years which is the only center in this city. We are around 40-50 students who have been leaded by our distinguished teacher Ramananda Ray and try to improve our center and survive in this Muslim Country which its people are naturally very outsider of Yoga Philosophy.
So I'd like to thank you for being in internet that your site could be good resource for our activities. We will appreciate any kind of your help such as to lead us how to improve and spread the philosophy, attract the peoples' attention.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

With my best and warmest blessings.
