February 28, 1968

(The entire Ashram has gone to Auroville to attend its

inauguration. Mother reads out her message, which is

broadcast live to Auroville through All India Radio:)

"Greetings from Auroville to all men of good will.

"Are invited to Auroville all those who thirst for
progress and aspire to a higher and truer life."


(Then Mother reads out the Charter)

Auroville's Charter

1. Auroville belongs to nobody in particular. Auroville belongs to humanity as a whole.
But to live in Auroville one must be a willing servitor of the Divine Consciousness.

2. Auroville will be the place of an unending education, of constant progress, and a youth that never ages.

3. Auroville wants to be the bridge between the past and the future. Taking advantage of all discoveries from without and from within, Auroville will boldly spring towards future realisations.

4. Auroville will be a site of material and spiritual researches for a living embodiment of an actual Human Unity.
