ces ‘étudiants-moi’ du Boul’Mich ?? Et pourtant je suis plein, plein à craquer (mais la tête solidement sur mes épaules… fragiles !). Voilà, je voulais vous dire que l’on marche et je ne sais quel genre d’année je dois souhaiter, mais ça va très vite. Et surtout je voulais vous embrasser très affectueusement, sans oublier nos amis et amies. Satprem »

*Working Note on Security measures at Matrimandir.

There have been over the recent times an escalation of incidents occurring at and around the Matrimandir. Whether these were caused by carelessness, negligence and ill-will or, as in the most recent case, a definite and dangerous imbalance in one or two individuals, the necessity we are facing is clear: there must be a better and more conscious organisation. (Later note: among others there was the case of two young French fellows, one of them suffering a kind of slow crippling disease of the muscles, who had been helping and working at Matrimandir for some time, had got into their heads that, in order to save the world, they must absolutely rectify the terrible mistakes we had made and shift the Urn, from its location at the amphitheatre, to the pond directly below the sphere of the Matrimandir; in planning their move – and almost succeeding – they had somehow complemented their ‘understanding’ of the situation by attributing to me, as an asura, the responsibility for most of the wrong…!) 1- Regarding the individuals who join voluntarily the work at Matrimandir: . We will from now on first ascertain their contribution is welcome and actually useful and that their relationship with Auroville is clear. . We will request them to carry with them a recommendation from the Entry Group, if they are guests or newcomers. . We will request the Entry Group and any other working group concerned to give us their views directly, whether the individual is a guest, a newcomer or a resident. . We will ask any individual whose conduct at Matrimandir proves to be unacceptable to leave their work at once and we will inform the Entry Group and any working group concerned of the same. 2- Regarding the service to the Inner Chamber and the duties related to it: . From now on the Inner Chamber will only be open when a minimum of 3 volunteers are on duty: 1 inside the Chamber, 1 at the vestibule and 1 at the Pillar entrance. . The Forum is to constitute immediately a core group for access to the Matrimandir, with the following tasks as priorities: a) To formulate simple guidelines for the screening and monitoring of all volunteers for service. b) To determine at which hours the minimum required of 3 volunteers will be available and to inform accordingly. These are some of the measures we propose to take, either immediately or in sequence.
