We were touring/talking with the Asst Director, who was equally clear about the ban...https://mebtravelling.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/img_1453.jpgIMG_1453We spent a morning at the Auroville Paper Factory, down the road from us, then drove the 12 kms out to Auroville itself, a rural community of 1800 residents, most of them Western (cult? New Age? I'm not judging, but...it felt like a little of each). It was the most Western-feeling place I'd been in 10 days,certainly: Europeans, some Australians, and I might have heard an American voice, too. E. and I decided to miss the Matrimandir, the spiritual center of the settlement: a golden dome housing the largest (70 cm diameter) solid crystal in the world. It may have been the pictures of The Mother, French artist-turned Guru (d. in the '70's) that put me off - she is founder of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, which advertises guest houses welcoming serious spiritual seekers. OR it may be this that put me off: I tried unsuccessfully to get reservations in three of the advertised guest houses...for 8 months (turned down every time!). From two couples in our guesthouse, we learned: go out to the Visitors' Centre, present yourself, and you have a much better chance of getting in.
