The Auro-Sangamam Team
The Auro Sangamam team is quite a unique group, bringing together many Aurovilians. Sanagamam events have been organized in Auroville over the last 30 years. However, this year the team grew to include around fifty Tamil Aurovilians! It is truly significant to have such a large number coming together to bring even more people together in the spirit of celebrating the Auroville dream.
The Auro Sangamam team had been meeting regularly for the past six months, focussing on bridging and connecting with everybody in Auroville’s neighborhood to bring forward the Tamil culture’s inherent nature of embracing and welcoming all people. This is why Sangamam events make a real effort to highlight the local culture as well as being a platform to communicate about Auroville.
As the Tamil population in Auroville comprises over one third of its residents, this culture would love to share its genius in order to enrich the life of Auroville. In this spirit, members of the Sangamam team welcome anyone who would like to learn about and explore this culture, as well as to find creative ways to help the people of the bioregion better understand the many cultures coming from other places in India and abroad.
This Sangamam celebration has been organised in collaboration with many Auroville groups and individual volunteers who have stepped forward to offer their time and energy to co-create this beautiful event. When one witnessed the hard work and goodwill that went into the organization, resulting in a sense of deep fulfillment and celebration, one caught a glimpse of how a true Human Unity actually manifests.
