The first project New Momentum is undertaking is a documentary of a small city in Southern India. Here people from 40 nations are experiencing the risk, the challenge, and the adventure of participating in a laboratory of the future. The city, Auroville, was the dream of Mother Mirra and Sri Aurobindo that there would be on the earth a city in which individuals pursuing higher consciousness would live collectively.

The basic requirement for residence in Auroville is a commitment to live a life increasingly attuned to the evolutionary movement of Divine Consciousness.

  
  
Auroville’s city plan uses the galaxy as it’s model.

 

The film will trace the transformation of the major aspects of this human experience called Auroville as they continue to unfold dynamically.
The key areas are social relationships, ecology, government, education, health care, industry, finances and culture. But outstanding developments in these fields, and they are here, are not the primary purpose. The primary aim is the development of individuals living in higher consciousness who manifest the progress in service to all.

Auroville is an experiment in the art of being human and possibly the cornerstone to the foundation of a New Earth, a place where a more evolved human family lives and shares and supports each other no matter where they exist on the planet.

  
           
 

This film is designed to inspire the hope and inner work to shift us individually as well as collectively. It is one more beaming example that we can look towards to help inspire us towards a better existence.
