For fifty-five years people from all over the world have been attracted to Auroville, a spiritual community on the east coast of South India. In this book 34 Aurovilians describe what motivated them to leave their familiar comfortable world to come to what was then a sun-baked barren plain. They also talk of their experiences of living in community with its hardships and joys.

Thanks to the huge efforts of these people and many others, Auroville is now a thriving community of over 3,000 people from 60 nations spread around more than a hundred settlements.

May their stories inspire many more to this City of Dawn.
