Please resign gracefully

Please resign Gracefully.
Auroville WC situation.

It’s mind boggling to say the least. First when the working committee was up for election. No one got the minimum vote of 50% to be selected. That should have been a mega huge eye opener. The simple fact that community didn’t want any of them to serve in the working committee. So what happened next! the threshold was lowered to 35%. And those who crossed the new mark were selected. And now with the latest vote that took place ending on Sunday 8th May 2022 the numbers in the chart (see image), With well over 80% asking four members to resign… They still don’t get it. What a monty python story for Auroville. What’s next? One might ask, well presumably the powers that be will state that Auroville can’t manage it’s internal organization and dot dot dot et voila!! .. One can guess the rest. Just to keep it all in perspective The fact that it is in the powers of the resident assembly that the WC members are elected. And so it’s upto the residents assembly to ask for some to resign if needed. And so the residents have spoken.
“For the people by the people”. Simply.

The people have spoken

Forests of Auroville 2021

This is a recent picture of a forest area of Auroville. This exact location will soon be leveled for the supposed “crown road” and the eventual “Line of Force”. One wonders if we here in Auroville are going backwards in the environmental aspect. Looking at the world today, with all the amazing work being done to bring the natural world to the forefront of discussion and in action. We here in Auroville seem to be living in parallel world, where building roads and putting up Cell phone towers is paramount for the onset of human unity. #savetrees #aurovilleforest #ourclimatemoment #naturaloxygengenerator #forest #wildlife #aurovillenews #forestsofauroville

The city the Earth needs!

“We have lived our lives by the assumption that what was good for us would be good for the world. We have been wrong. We must change our lives so that it will be possible to live by the contrary assumption, that what is good for the world will be good for us. And that requires that we make the effort to know the world and learn what is good for it.”
