Krishna Das in Auroville

There are plans for Krishna Das, the well-known mantra musician, to offer a live chanting event in the Amphitheatre on 12th February to launch the ‘Science and spirituality’ summit.

However, there is concern that the event has been planned without consultation with the Residents Assembly, and that the Amphitheatre is not the correct venue because of the “vital energy that such events bring”. Matthew Andrews of AVIUSA replied that he doesn’t expect a huge crowd of 3,000, and that the Amphitheatre had been chosen after researching other Auroville venues which turned out to be unsuitable.
