The City and the Oasys (Immortality Underground)
1996, 233 pp. fiction by Vijay $9
A funny, sly tale of the adventures and misadventures of
Phaldor, a man in search of immortality. He travels to a
city called Poplar and is guided by the "Eternal Anima".
There is also romance, political intrigue galore, inhabitants
who speak "Unillingo". The journey is all, convoluted and
confounding as it often is. You will laugh a lot, and if
you have your wits about you, you may receive something
to think about as well. The prose style is dizzying compounded
by endless spelling, grammar and punctuation "errors", many
of which annoy, some of which entrance, adding another spin
to this whirling traveler.

The Dawning of Auroville
by William Sullivan (Auroville, 1994) 333 pp. paperback

collection captures the diversity of the voices and experiences
which comprise Auroville. Supporting the text are more than
60 photographs. Anyone who wants the "big picture" of Auroville
or vignettes of daily life will be pleased with this compilation.
The Religious, The Spiritual, and The Secular : Auroville
and Secular India
by Robert N. Minor 224 pages paperback Illustrated (6 photos,
1 map) $19.95
Prof. Minor, who spoke at AUM '89, has had a long time interest
in Sri Aurobindo's philosophy. In this book he studies Auroville,
in particular its struggle for self-determination which
led to a disassociation with the Sri Aurobindo Society and
a case which reached the Supreme Court of India. He raises
one of the critical question at the end of the millennium,
the relationship between government and religion. He deals
with the "Big Picture" concerning UNESCO , Indian politics
and the Supreme Court's opinions. His conclusions reflect
the ambiguity and difficulty of sorting "spirituality" and
"universality" from "religion". Dr. Minor is Professor of
Religious Studies at U. of Kansas and author of Modern Indian
Interpreters of the Bhagavad-Gita and Radhakrishnan: A Religious
Biography, published by SUNY Press, and Sri Aurobindo: The
Perfect and the Good.
