Notes	This book attempts to give a critical commentary on the current events within the Auroville community. It poses questions that require collective answers to understand the underlying causes of the difficulties and obstacles that currently divide the community. What are the citizens' understanding of their ideals in Auroville, and how do they move to achieve their ideals? To what extent is Auroville capable of adapting to the changing needs of its citizens and implementing external changes? Are their ideals still able to influence the larger society? [...] The author does not endeavour to disguise complicated and ticklish issues in a beautiful style; his critical, constructive questions are related to practical interests and foster a meaningful dialogue among citizens. It is not his intention to make unfavourable comments about Mother's spiritual insights; he only aims to offer a critical, loyal evaluation as a window frame to those who seek more clarity without remaining closed in their cocoon.
