Matrimandir

Besides generally supporting the Matrimandir, Auroville International USA is currently focusing on the Matrimandir's Inner Skin, which includes the inner lighting, the gardens and the solar panels. If you are interested in getting involved, please contact us.

We are currently working on this section. In the meantime, here is some of the text that appears in the Matrimandir section of Auroville's website:

The Soul Of The City

At the very centre of Auroville one finds the 'soul of the city', the Matrimandir, situated in a large open area called 'Peace', from where the future township will radiate outwards. The atmosphere is quiet and charged, and the area beautiful, even though at present large parts of it are still under construction.

Although the Matrimandir is starting to look complete externally, much work remains to be done.

As yet incomplete, the Matrimandir emerges as a large golden sphere which seems to be rising out of the earth, symbolising the birth of a new consciousness seeking to manifest. Its slow and steady progress towards completion is followed by many.

While walking through the lovely green Matrimandir Gardens with their great variety of flowers, shrubs and trees, one's attention is greatly drawn by this important and powerful feature at the heart of the city which was seen by the Mother as the "symbol of the Divine's answer to man's aspiration for perfection" and as "the central cohesive force" for the growth of Auroville.
