Weekly Reflection
Today I received and read the September issue of Auroville Today, the monthly publication of the international township of Auroville in Tamil Nadu, South India. This image is of the Matrimandir (Temple of the Mother) at the center of Auroville. The primary feature of this beautiful structure is a meditation chamber. When I lived in Auroville from 1993-97, I went there every day to meditate. It is far and away the most powerful meditation place I have ever experienced in my life. The chamber is made entirely of white marble, and a kind of window at its peak brings the rays of the sun through the chamber and below it at all times from sunrise to sunset, to be received by a pool of water below the Matrimandir.
I am an avid supporter of Auroville, financially and energetically, and I pray daily for its evolution. The community was founded by the woman knows as The Mother in 1968. Here is the charter of Auroville:
- Auroville belongs to nobody in particular. Auroville belongs to humanity as a whole. But, to live in Auroville, one must be a willing servitor of the Divine Consciousness.
- Auroville will be the place of an unending education, of constant progress, and a youth that never ages.
- Auroville wants to be the bridge between the past and the future. Taking advantage of all discoveries from without and from within, Auroville will boldly spring towards future realizations.
- Auroville will be a site of material and spiritual researches for a living embodiment of an actual human unity.
To become a living embodiment of an actual human unity is a huge challenge, and Auroville’s 50-plus year history has been fraught with crises of all kinds, cultural, social, organizational, financial, political, environmental - and yet it continues. And it belongs to all of us, humanity as a whole. It exists for the evolution of the human family.
While my life journey took me away from Auroville after four years there, I am still deeply spiritually connected with it. May each passing year find it moving ever more completely into the fulfillment of its Charter. So be it!

One-To-One Dream Consultations
For a consultation via Zoom on your computer or phone, or in person in the Silver City area, begin by making an appointment at azima@zianet.com and receiving guidelines to prepare for your session, which will last 1 to 1 ½ hours.
Tell Azima your dream (or dreams) and respond to clarifying questions if needed, and she will share what she sees, feels and learns from her version of the dream, but she will never tell you what your dream means for you — that will become clear in the session.
You can have as many sessions as you wish, in exchange for dana (donation), in accordance with the amount of time given and your financial situation.
Inquire about the special in-person executive dream consultation package.
