Farewell team Open House

News in brief


On Sunday 12 October the Farewell team hosted an Open House to update everyone on their work and its role and function in the community. They explained that “This is an impersonal work which demands sensitivity, equality, good practical sense, readiness to serve, emotional stability, acceptance of any bodily condition, receptivity to the inner reality, attention and plasticity and goodwill towards all. We share a sense of dedication to Mother and Sri Aurobindo, seeking to express it in the Spirit of Auroville so that our understanding and experience of physical death in our individual and collective adventure may grow ever more conscious and free.” And they emphasised that “we are keen to remain free from all opinions and alignments that, in our collective life, may still interfere with our harmonious progress. This service is for all in Auroville”.
