Auroville Residents Appeal to UNESCO reg 30th Sept Event in Paris

The Secretary of one of the 3 governing bodies of Auroville Foundation has planned to organize an event at Unesco Paris this month.

Since the appointment of the present Secretary of the Auroville Foundation, Dr Jayanti Ravi, in July 2021 by the Ministry of Education, and the subsequent appointment of a new Governing Board of the Auroville Foundation, the residents of Auroville have been confronted with repeated intimidation, violence and constant provocations that undermine harmony in the community. This intense authoritarian pressure threatens Auroville’s core values, collective practice of Sri Aurobindo’s teachings and philosophy, and contradicts our goals and ideals.
