The Auroville Foundation Act and the Mother's Guidelines: a Comparative Study by Paulette Hadnagy

This research is a continuation of previous research and archival documentation on the Mother’s true Auroville that I have been pursuing since 1985, when first I joined Auroville after living in the Sri Aurobindo Ashram. Behind the legal jargon of the Auroville Foundation Act there are striking similarities to the feeling tone of the archival documents drafted under the Mother’s guidance.

As a forerunner to the ideal society, the Mother expected Auroville to be organized on the principle that the more one advances spiritually, the less there are material needs. In essence everything belongs to the one collective being, to be used for the wellbeing of all.
