“I saw them cross the twilight of an age,
The sun-eyed children of a marvellous dawn… “

The Mother called us to “Come to the Future” on many occasions and in many ways. One very concrete way was to invite us to “the great adventure” and participate in creating the City of Dawn. It is inscribed in the Auroville Charter: “Auroville wants to be the bridge between the past and the future.”

Today, at least three generations have been born in this privileged, unique and remarkable space for discovery, growth and creation. It is the privilege of all of us – Auroville-born and not Auroville-born – to participate in building this bridge to another age. For by building the City of Dawn, it is we who are calling the Future to come.

One major condition for fostering this future base is to consolidate its designated Master Plan area – the land dedicated to Auroville’s role and destiny. Together let’s protect and complete this landing ground for a new age for the future of born-in and coming-to Auroville generations to come. For as Sri Aurobindo wrote: “We do not belong to the past dawns but to the noons of the future”
