This photo of new Auroville land is just one of the many recent purchases by Auroville’s Land Board. In the past eight months, 30 new acres joined Auroville, with more new land on the way!

We warmly thank all the donors who have made this possible – and our sincere thanks go to all the sellers whose goodwill has brought the benedictions of shared harmony coming with the new land!

ACRES FOR AUROVILLE started as a consecrated action with these goals: creating a new energy with a new unity of purpose for buying the City of Dawn’s missing land. Our aims are to make true progress in consolidating its designated Master Plan area and bring the land for assuring Auroville’s long-lasting viability. And along with our goals, we’ve made these promises and continue to keep them: transparency, accountability, and the use of your donations for land purchase only.

This week we honor The Mother’s Birthday and Auroville’s Inauguration. With 75 parcels of new land purchased to date – all thanks to your collaboration – we have come a long way since A4A’s start on Sri Aurobindo’s birthday 7 years ago! So we continue on with our goals and with our promises – with consecration, confidence, and growing collaboration – for as The Mother has said:

“NOW IS THE TIME, IT HAS TO BE DONE”
