Polarities

This issue of Auroville Today marks 36 years since our first issue was published in November, 1988. That issue also came out at a difficult moment in Auroville’s history.

We are used to saying that Auroville does not fit neatly into any known category. But this doesn’t stop many of us having certain fixed ideas about how it should develop.

In March, 2015, we interviewed three Aurovilians, Gérard Maréchal, Janaka and François Gauthier, who had journeyed to Auroville in the first caravan in 1969, to learn more about the caravan story.
