Auroville

Don't you love India's slogans? Mataji and Dianne had a great time whenever we went out of the ashram checking out all the roadside slogans. But this is the best so far - it's outside Pondicherry's maternity hospital.

Went to Auroville yesterday - a Utopian New Age community inaugurated by The Mother in 1968. The Matrimandir is a huge crystalline Meditation chamber housed in a huge golden golf ball-shaped dome. Crystals are illuminated by sunlight or solar power when overcast. Didn't get inside the meditation chamber but here's the dome from the outside. It's gold plated apparently!
