This perspective we have tried to convey during the many Forum gatherings that
have taken place. But we have found that the good possibility of deeper and quieter
collaboration the Forum was meant to provide was taken over but this continuing
battle over the issue of design.
Now it appears that every side would agree with the others on one point only: to
dismiss our team.
And this would be done with no objective reason.
We do not see how such a move could lead the present Auroville community any
closer to the progressive human unity it is meant to realise.
We are open to dialogue, to the sharing of concerns for the good of the Matrimandir
and at its service.
We are open to participation from all those who find in themselves the urge to
contribute, to help strengthen, consolidate and complete.
We need it, and we are very much aware of our personal shortcomings.
But we need it truly, not as another wave that will fall back on itself.
We do not believe in the formation of a “client body”, or in any such body, apart
from the Matrimandir Forum, which has a real potential to help.
As it was said at least once, the Mother is The client.
For, without Her, the Matrimandir would just be an empty shell, a vain statement
on the wayside.
Thank you.”
Note: Our dismissal was finally achieved on October, 2003. It was obtained through
the political use of legal power – as provided in the loopholes of the “Auroville
Foundation Act” - and of democracy – by means of heavily manipulated campaigns
and petitions, slander and calumny.
