Hi Stephan,
I couldn't see my comment I just posted, hope this is not going to be doubled.
It's warms my heart to see this video and great to hear of the good work you are involved in there. Long long time ago I was there in Auroville. I met Maggie (the personal assistant of The Mother of Sri Aurobindo Ashram) at a retreat and came to visit her in Pondicherry. I also helped her at the little village (forgot the name) where she runs the schools for poor kids. Wonder whether is it still there. I have lost touched with Maggie. My heart is still very much with India.
