A space where the land,
trees, flowers and every structure aspires and each breathe, a
miracle spawn out of a beautiful dream that the Mother had. The place
is made a field of discovery with little amazing experiments that
each one performs within oneself and with everyone around. Auroville,
a land, where equality and human unity are there in each step, where
we do less but feel more, has emerged into an exciting place for the
flow of Her energy.
This book, “Tell me,
my friend, what is this Auroville”, describes this place in a
magical way, with all love and strikingly colourful pictures. The
narration, story-like, almost a guessing game is most inviting for
little kids, for them to get a sense of the future growing in there
and to be with it. There is a little introduction of how the seed was
sown for the growth of this place and then the story begins.
It starts with a rabbit
asking the banyan “Tell me, my friend, what is this Auroville?”.
The dialogue is narrated as a dream that the rabbit has when it
sleeps under the banyan. In the dream, the banyan tree takes us on a
beautiful journey of what that place would be. Each view is an answer
for the question that the rabbit asks the banyan and it is matched
with capturing paintings in bright colours.
We all stand together,
holding hands, in a circle. That’s not just a circle; Her jewel, a
bracelet probably, each one of us a bead in it, the centre of which
is adorned with a beautiful shining diamond. The one very same thing
that connects us all. Next time we go to Auroville, let’s ask the
banyan tree, where the diamond is!!
