The Humane Identity

Unbelievable is an understatement. I was laughing my ass off and calling my friend a retard for half an hour before I realized he wasn't really kidding. This palce actually exists. And that too in India!

Auroville is an 'experimental township' located in Tamil Nadu. The purpose of Auroville is to realize human unity. Where all men and women are allowed to live together above all castes, creed and nationalities. Yeah I know!! Sounds real philosophical and thats where my curiosity began. The most racially dicriminated and economically divided country in the world has this blooming in the heart of Tamil Nadu? It almost sounded like a rose just grew out of a bed of weeds.


The Mitramandir in the epicenter of the town is simply stunning. Complete silence is observed and it is also called the Peace area ( duh!!). If you want to feel spirituality, serve humanity or just find solace, this is the place to be. It is an adventure in its own weird sense. But if you are the kinds who loves rock, noise and headbanging. I'd suggest you stay away. You would do all of us peace lovers a huge favor.

For full enquiry about the place and how to get there plus the rates, basically anything; follow the link:
