INTERNATIONAL HOUSE FOR PEACEFUL LIVING: AUROVILLE

Countries in eastern part of the world are rich houses of spiritual and cultural heritage, while countries in western part are pioneers in science and technology. Dr. A.P.J. Abdul kalam, the former president of India, a philosopher and a scientist, describes a distinction between science and spirituality: “science is useful to people for making money, while spirituality encourages happiness in humanity”.

So, we can envisage a society where two distinct directions can be made to mingle, interact and live in harmony in a global colony, available at various parts of the world. Using this colony, people can discuss about their advancement in spirituality and science. They could dispel hatred due to religion using the spirituality.

With such initiative, we could develop a global brotherhood and a peaceful society using knowledge of material world and spiritual world. Such an initiative has been already taken in India which is known as “Auroville” started by Sri Aurobindo Ghose.

AUROVILLE:
After experiencing spiritual conversion while imprisoned for suspected terrorism against the British, Indian nationalist and philosopher Sri Aurobindo Ghose established an ashram (religious community) near Madras in southern India. It acts as disseminator of cosmic salvation through the evolution of the human spirit. The ashram is called “Auroville”. People can collect information by logging in at website
www.auroville.org.
