TOUCH OF NATURE

After cool days of winter, spring has come with warm weather and the brightness of the gardens. It is a great joy to see the variety of flowers that grow and bloom every day. Here are some photos of flowers in Aurovalley that vibrate with the touch of nature.







Be Like a Flower


Be like a flower. One must try to become like a flower: open, frank, equal, generous and kind. Do you know what it means?
A flower is open to all that surrounds it: Nature, light the rays of the sun, the wind, etc. It exerts a spontaneous influence on all that is around it. It radiates a joy and a beauty.
It is frank: it hides nothing of it beauty, and lets it flow frankly out of itself. What is within, what is in its depths, it lets it come out so that everyone can see it.
It is equal: it has no preference. Everyone can enjoy its beauty and its perfume, without rivalry. It is equal and the same for everybody. There is no difference, or anything whatsoever.

Then generous: without reserve or restriction, how it gives the mysterious beauty and the very own perfume of Nature. It sacrifices itself entirely for our pleasure, even its life it sacrifices to express this beauty and the secret of the things gathered within itself.
And then, kind: it has such tenderness; it is sweet, so close to us, so loving. Its presence fills us with joy. It is always cheerful and happy.
Happy is who can exchange his qualities with the real qualities of the flowers. Try to cultivate in yourself their refined qualities.

" The nature is expressed in silence, where there is silence,
there is soul, there is Divine, there is presence. "
Swami Brahmdev

“La naturaleza se expresa en silencio, donde hay silencio, 
hay alma, hay Divinidad, hay presencia.”

SILVER JUBILE CELEBRATION


Inauguration - opening ceremony 
CELEBRATE!
Swamiji has been taking care of  all, and he put the flags of each country upon the roof of the World Temple. The atmosphere is very peaceful and harmonious as usual in the ashram, but with a touch of grandeur and solemnity that is inspirational and reflects the globalness. Here you can see some photos to get an idea about how the World Temple looked for the celebration of the 25th Anniversary of Aurovalley. We celebrated every day from the 23th to the 30 November with music, dance, inspirational talks and very good company.
We really hope you will enjoy the clips of music and photos we have attached here and join us wherever you are to celebrate this moment of Aurovalley life.





For the Silver Jubilee of Aurovalley Ashram, dancers from India, and guests from other countries gave a beautiful performance. In this video you will find clips from Classical Indian dance by Maanvi Sharma dancers programme and classical Indian  music by Swar Ragini on instruments.
