Gilles

In this series we interview Aurovilians about their personal experiences with the Matrimandir in Auroville. Today it’s Gilles.

Gilles arrived in Auroville on new year’s day of 1974, when the amphitheater on the Matrimandir grounds had just been completed. Other people elsewhere might have a beer to relax in the evenings, but not Gilles. Gilles goes to the Matrimandir, ever since that day in 1974…

Matrimandir and I as a series is a human experiment, looking into how aurovilians relate to the soul of Auroville – the Matrimandir. The dream is to interview all citizens of Auroville.
