Spiritual and Material Refresher program

The Human Resources Service has announced the Auroville Alignment Programme which “is a collective effort to help each one of us – whether arriving, aspiring, or already rooted – live the ideals and purpose of Auroville in a more conscious, practical way”.

Those who have put forward the idea of a “Spiritual and Material Refresher programme” [a condition for living in Auroville mentioned in the Auroville Residents Criteria Standing Order] to be given at regular intervals to Auroville Residents have either – at worst – not read Sri Aurobindo’s works or – at best – have only read them superficially.

On 25 November 2024, the AVFO Officer on Special Duty, Dr G. Seetharaman, issued a new Standing Order detailing residence criteria and a code of conduct for all Residents, Newcomers, volunteers and permanent guests in Auroville, which came into effect immediately.
