| Auroville's Symbol |
The Mother had made a sketch of the new symbol of Auroville on 16.8.71 and seen and approved the above drawing. She gave the following explanation of its meaning:
“The dot at the centre represents Unity, the Supreme;
the inner circle represents the creation, the conception of the City;
the petals represent the power of expression, realisation.”
