	1 AUROVILLE AIKIDO AT AV BUDOKAN (DEHASHAKTI) AUROVILLE AIKIDO AT AV BUDOKAN (DEHASHAKTI) @ - Dehashakti Sports and Physical Education, Dana Community, Auroville, Bommayapalayam, Tamil Nadu 605101, India Aikido is a martial art created in the 1920s by Morihei Ueshiba, a master in traditional Japanese martial arts. Aikido is a path which aspires to the unity of mankind, the unification of the self with the universe, the union of Spirit and Matter. Seen as such, and in the perspective of the integral development of the being as emphasized by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, it is no wonder that Aikido has always been greatly valued in Auroville and introduced since the very early years. Both children and adults can enjoy and benefit from its complete practice. There are no competitions in Aikido. On the self-defense aspect of it, an aggressor's attack may be stopped without harming or injuring him/her. The AV Aikido group welcomes new practitioners, Youth and Adult students, and the ones who would like to revive an old (abandoned) practice! Adult classes: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, 6 - 7:30am, early morning. Beginners are most welcome. Girls and women are especially called to join us. Children/ young students: Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 4 - 5pm For the time being no Saturday 9 - 10am class are offered. Contact us for more info and registration: write to budokan@auroville.org.in or WA 8300643963 Philippe G. or call 9952812843 N. Murugan.

He was a soulful guitarist, a brilliant raconteur, an excellent chef—and, as this exhibition shows, a gifted artist. He was also a humble and understated human being, which is its own form of talent. The work on display here is remarkable, but Roy never sought recognition for it, never assembled it or pushed for an exhibition. I doubt he’d even have described himself as an artist (though he clearly was). So we are fortunate to see this body of work gathered together at last, in one place, in memory of a beloved and singular Aurovilian life. The aesthetic quality speaks for itself, as does the variety. What’s perhaps less apparent is the work’s historical significance. These aren’t just beautiful drawings; they are also capsules of time, records of moments in Auroville’s history, and often—as in the covers of the News and Notes—acute works of social satire and commentary. Roy was one of Auroville’s pioneers. He dug foundation pits at the Matrimandir, he planted saplings, and he helped build the community’s first bakery. He’d lived a lot. You see the richness of that experience reflected in these works, like a tapestry of life in Auroville over the decades. Finally, the humor. Like everything else with the man, Roy’s humor was both abundant and understated—a dry, wry take on the world, a sensibility that seemed to know that everything is passing and nothing really matters. It was humor, but it was also wisdom, a certain spiritual detachment. Roy was my friend, and, like so many, I was a beneficiary of that wisdom. I guess you could call it the yoga. These paintings are a beautiful expression of one remarkable Aurovilian’s quiet yoga.

The practise produce a soothing sound believed to have a powerful effect in the body's energy system, helping to balance the chakras and promote healing. “If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touches every part of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies. One reason sound heals on a physical level is because it so deeply touches and transforms us on the emotional and spiritual planes.” Drop in the Hall, no reservation needed.

Aikido is a path which aspires to the unity of mankind, the unification of the self with the universe, the union of Spirit and Matter. Seen as such, and in the perspective of the integral development of the being as emphasized by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, it is no wonder that Aikido has always been greatly valued in Auroville and introduced since the very early years. Both children and adults can enjoy and benefit from its complete practice. There are no competitions in Aikido. On the self-defense aspect of it, an aggressor's attack may be stopped without harming or injuring him/her. The AV Aikido group welcomes new practitioners, Youth and Adult students, and the ones who would like to revive an old (abandoned) practice! Adult classes: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, 6 - 7:30am, early morning. Beginners are most welcome. Girls and women are especially called to join us. Children/ young students: Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 4 - 5pm For the time being no Saturday 9 - 10am class are offered.

He was a soulful guitarist, a brilliant raconteur, an excellent chef—and, as this exhibition shows, a gifted artist. He was also a humble and understated human being, which is its own form of talent. The work on display here is remarkable, but Roy never sought recognition for it, never assembled it or pushed for an exhibition. I doubt he’d even have described himself as an artist (though he clearly was). So we are fortunate to see this body of work gathered together at last, in one place, in memory of a beloved and singular Aurovilian life. The aesthetic quality speaks for itself, as does the variety. What’s perhaps less apparent is the work’s historical significance. These aren’t just beautiful drawings; they are also capsules of time, records of moments in Auroville’s history, and often—as in the covers of the News and Notes—acute works of social satire and commentary. Roy was one of Auroville’s pioneers. He dug foundation pits at the Matrimandir, he planted saplings, and he helped build the community’s first bakery. He’d lived a lot. You see the richness of that experience reflected in these works, like a tapestry of life in Auroville over the decades. Finally, the humor. Like everything else with the man, Roy’s humor was both abundant and understated—a dry, wry take on the world, a sensibility that seemed to know that everything is passing and nothing really matters. It was humor, but it was also wisdom, a certain spiritual detachment. Roy was my friend, and, like so many, I was a beneficiary of that wisdom. I guess you could call it the yoga. These paintings are a beautiful expression of one remarkable Aurovilian’s quiet yoga.

Aikido is a path which aspires to the unity of mankind, the unification of the self with the universe, the union of Spirit and Matter. Seen as such, and in the perspective of the integral development of the being as emphasized by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, it is no wonder that Aikido has always been greatly valued in Auroville and introduced since the very early years. Both children and adults can enjoy and benefit from its complete practice. There are no competitions in Aikido. On the self-defense aspect of it, an aggressor's attack may be stopped without harming or injuring him/her. The AV Aikido group welcomes new practitioners, Youth and Adult students, and the ones who would like to revive an old (abandoned) practice!

Lie down, relax, simply allow yourself to experience the ancient sound from the Tibetans bowls. The practise produce a soothing sound believed to have a powerful effect in the body's energy system, helping to balance the chakras and promote healing. “If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touches every part of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies. One reason sound heals on a physical level is because it so deeply touches and transforms us on the emotional and spiritual planes.” Drop in the Hall, no reservation needed.

Join us, in solving the jigsaw puzzle as we discover the rules of the game together. Harmony emerged from attempts to read the land, from what one sees on the surface of the landscape and the layers of stories that it holds. Land and water, ‘drawing’ landscapes over geological times. Harmony is an attempt to initiate a dialogue about landscapes, geology, hydrology and habitat fragmentation to provide a sense of nurture to the climate anxiety embedded in the work. It is designed to spark conversations, discussions and curiosity. Perhaps even an urge to pursue something that comes up through these interactions! This work is a part of a series titled ‘All Problems of Existence are essentially problems of Harmony’. The title is a quote borrowed from Sri Aurobindo’s book, The Life Divine. --------------------------- Kaik Kahevu Che - Exhibition of Art Works by Krishna Sheth Kaik Kahevu Che - Exhibition of Art Works by Krishna Sheth @ - @ Centre d'Art des Citadines, 2R66+5W3, Auroville, Irumbai, Tamil Nadu 605101, India Inviting you as I put together an exhibition of my recent works, “Kaik Kahevu Che", and would love to have you join me for the opening if you’re around. 🌿 The exhibition opens on Friday, 11 September at 4:30 pm, at Centre D’Art Citadines, Auroville.

Aikido is a path which aspires to the unity of mankind, the unification of the self with the universe, the union of Spirit and Matter. Seen as such, and in the perspective of the integral development of the being as emphasized by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, it is no wonder that Aikido has always been greatly valued in Auroville and introduced since the very early years. Both children and adults can enjoy and benefit from its complete practice. There are no competitions in Aikido. On the self-defense aspect of it, an aggressor's attack may be stopped without harming or injuring him/her. The AV Aikido group welcomes new practitioners, Youth and Adult students, and the ones who would like to revive an old (abandoned) practice!

The practise produce a soothing sound believed to have a powerful effect in the body's energy system, helping to balance the chakras and promote healing. “If we accept that sound is vibration and we know that vibration touches every part of our physical being, then we understand that sound is heard not only through our ears but through every cell in our bodies. One reason sound heals on a physical level is because it so deeply touches and transforms us on the emotional and spiritual planes.” Drop in the Hall, no reservation needed.

Aikido is a path which aspires to the unity of mankind, the unification of the self with the universe, the union of Spirit and Matter. Seen as such, and in the perspective of the integral development of the being as emphasized by Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, it is no wonder that Aikido has always been greatly valued in Auroville and introduced since the very early years. Both children and adults can enjoy and benefit from its complete practice. There are no competitions in Aikido. On the self-defense aspect of it, an aggressor's attack may be stopped without harming or injuring him/her. The AV Aikido group welcomes new practitioners, Youth and Adult students, and the ones who would like to revive an old (abandoned) practice! Adult classes: Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, 6 - 7:30am, early morning. Beginners are most welcome. Girls and women are especially called to join us. Children/ young students: Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 4 - 5pm For the time being no Saturday 9 - 10am class are offered.
