I am sitting here writing, absolutely loving Auroville. It's a community built up by one whom they call 'The Mother'. The purpose is to have a community that doesn't have any religion, that is simply spiritual and grateful, or at least that's how I understand it. It was founded by non-Indian people, but five thousand locals from neighbouring towns work here and there are five different schools, plus a program where teachers from Auroville go to other schools and teach certain classes. I love it because it doesn't have the RUSH RUSH RUSH of the outside world. Also I feel totally safe AND there are no street-sellers. They have only four shops, and I've done the little Christmas shopping I have to do. We'll spend Christmas here. They have bikes which make transport easy and enjoyable. The meals are included with the guest house and we've met interesting people. One woman has lived here for thirty years! Dream come true!
Merry Christmas,
Allie
