Matrimandir
The Matrimandir wants to be the symbol of the Divine's answer to man's aspiration for perfection.
Union with the Divine manifesting in a progressive human unity.
14 August 1970
The Matrimandir wants to be the symbol of the Universal Mother according to Sri Aurobindo's teaching.
*The Matrimandir will be the soul of Auroville. *
*The sooner the soul is there, the better it will be for everybody and especially for the Aurovilians. *
15 November 1970
/For the construction of the Matrimandir, will only Aurovilians do the work or will there also be hired workers and other people of goodwill?/
It is preferable that the work be organised without paid labour so that it is sure to continue in all circumstances.
