This is a collection of messages, talks and answers from The Mother which relate to Auroville. It is not exhaustive but fairly complete.

With the exception of three passages in the second chapter (A Dream, The Ideal Town, Synthesis of Cultures) all the items included here refer specifically to Auroville.

An asterisk* following the date of a passage indicates that the original was given in English, and the sign + preceding the date indicates an oral, not a written statement.
