I like what the dutch guy says. And what the local people say: everyone is developing for them selves. That's the impression that I got from this documentary: Auroville is a huge ego-trip in disguise.
Very interesting documentary, thank you! Auroville is an experience "in vivo" of what living as a community truly involves, with its good and bad... I believe that it is possible and these people are "playing" and LEARNING through their mistakes, so I think it is a very positive thing that such a place exists!
Only the good concepts... you really have the idealistic view on your country, right? No, everything isn't pretty in India, Auroville isn't a colony for people to invade India.
There is corruption in India, poverty, intolerance, as it is anywhere in the world.
@FortPiment ofcorse there is babe wat ravving means to say is these shitty foreigners might not take advantage of indias poverty n ignorance,everything isn't pretty in India, it never was meant to be so,coz indias culture was exclusively meant for soul realization the total negation of sensual pleasures n enjoyment n also attachmeant
the govt of india is certainly a great fool in allowing these foriegners to settle in our land,tommrow it becomes big problem for indians,is sumbody hearing????
Kashmir. What about Kashmir? You can claim a land, but it really never is 'yours' or 'his' or 'mine', this is one concept of the project. You say that this will be a big problem for the future of India. Let me tell you: there are 2 000 individuals there and they bought a DESERT, a damn desert that they build up as it is. Now, stop saying that 'foreigners' are a problem. I hate when people talk about groups in which they want individuals to fit in. (1/2)
@ravving I mean... I do hear you, but would you care in explaining a bit more about what exactly is the problem? Maybe there are *individuals* giving troubles? Maybe you're just being xenophobic? What is the problem, exactly? (2/2)
@FortPiment foregners will snatch our lands,occupy it illegaly,impose their rule, law customs,n exploit the resorces,the natives becum 2nd class citizens, they do everything(or might do everthing) to separate the land frm its country n impose their own domination there and afterwards try to prove to the world the territory no longer belongs to the nation,
@ravving I don't think you understand the Auroville concept. It's not about domination. India has already embraced occidentals with capitalism and consumption of goods. Auroville isn't about capitalism and consumption. It's not an invasion rally point. If you don't understand the spirit of this village/city, maybe you should retain yourself from commenting on this video.
I'll repeat: they build and grown this place from a desert. Have you read me at all? And now they built it, you want it back?
@FortPiment wat u mean wen u say " India has already embraced occidentals with capitalism"n how do u know that,ur not even an indian,india has accepted only sum good or positive concepts of western society,that too concepts like secularism liberlism democracy,broadmindedness,n doesnt mean we have embraced the west,india can survive on its own values n economy,if u know little bit of indian history u will understand how foreigners plundered our nation,the dutch french portgugese british
@FortPiment n talking abt kashmir it was a pure hindu,budhist land before,the islamic invasion,shankaracharya,buddha n jesus christ lived there,the sikh gurus taught their philosopy there,the sufi saints preached oness of hindus n muslims in kashmir,n now by pakistan propganda kashmir belongs or should belong only to muslims,i hope u understand little bit of politics now
@ravving I understand what is going on with Kashmir already. What I'm saying is there is no real point for an individual to be nationalist and to claim 'THIS LAND BELONGS TO MY COUNTRY!!!'... this is ridiculous. The only interests it serves is the interest of people with money. Frontiers exist because of money and power. Now, if we talk about Auroville, we aren't talking about money or power, so the fact you are saying that 'bwaaaah! foreigners steal our lands' is totally pointless.
Come on. There is more Indian emigrants than there are people in Auroville. Who doesn't know about Israel and Palestine, anyway? I just think you're being paranoid for no reason.

@superdiza Well, it's important not to be too cynical about the process, as it's just that, a process, and one that inevitably leads to mistakes. Competition/profit-motive have alienated us from being comfortable with making mistakes and the exploration therein. But I do very much agree that "back to the land" can often be an extreme position taken in rejection of the current system of convenience. It has it's spiritual necessity, but there is fantastic technology not used in Auroville.
Thank you very much for posting this video. This is the best documentary about Auroville I've seen so far. At least it's much closer to reality as I have experienced it, than all the other films I've seen, that are, in my opinion, far too rosy.

Bullshit lifestyle. As long as you have money in the system it will get corrupted. The hunter-gatherer system is the best. Search for Vanuatu in the journeyman's video upload and you'll see what I mean.
Wow! so many are threatened by this? ...that's always a sign something marvelous must be happening! To their critics, I'd love to hear what you are DOING to solve the big problems of humanity. It's a work in progress. If you've got a better way, don't just yap on about it, go get busy and DO it...humanity needs you to!!!
@Lumixster Except they've been there for 30 years. You're obviously an ignorant though...once you understand what drives the world and you finally see that it's limited and we're devouring it at a rate faster than it can replenish perhaps maybe then you can understand why we MUST work with the Earth. But then again you're probably a dumbass and you think it won't affect you in your lifetime. All I'll say to that is LOOL think again buddy, shit's right around the corner. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Classic examples are the shop 'Pour Tous' ('For All'!) which has a very severe acceptance system, and allows no locals to walk in. Or the 'open' beach (public beach!), which has guards and prohibits entry to anyone without a pass. And about 1000 other complete contradictions. India should just take the land over back and stop this absurdity.
I spent time there. Poor guy who made the documentary has no idea how deeply corrupt the leaders are, how corrupt the system is to be 'accepted', the financial conditions they impose, the endless laws, rules, regulations. The rumour-mongering, back-stabbing. The inherent racism against local folk, the use of cheap local labour to make profit, etc. etc. one must go there to see the extent of the lie, the sham it has become, and has been for about 30 years now.
@yyyyyves That is what you get when using a system that is only capable of handling maybe a few hands of people, which is the direct-knowledge system of implicit trade. Direct family knowledge of who is the lazy arse, that is. But that doesn't work for groups above the anonymity barrier. Larger groups need a real free trade system to verify work-value at the point of trade (see my chan for how exactly, capitalism is likewise bad). Distribute land, democratize state & corp, democr.loan.
Jesus Christ is the only way to God! All who believe Jesus Christ died for their sins and rose again from the dead will have eternal life. Call upon the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in Him and you will be saved!

So, 2000 people live there "without money".
Yet, the surrounding towns have a 45,000 population, out of which 4,000 daily foreign workers come to work at Aurovile.
This is not sustainability.
They need modern technology to avoid necessitated labor.
