What is the difference between the Sri Aurobindo Ashram and Auroville?
A. The Mother has said that there is no fundamental difference between the two institutions in their attitude towards the future and service of the Divine. However, the people of the Ashram are considered to have consecrated their lives to Integral Yoga, whereas in Auroville the good will to make a collective experiment for the progress of humanity is sufficient to gain admittance. The Ashram is expected to retain it true role of pioneer, inspirer and guide. Auroville is an attempt at collective realisation.
