We feel deep gratitude for all the enlightened beings and teachers, rishis and rishikas from different traditions for freely sharing their knowledge for the welfare of all. This knowledge, this “vidya” is felt to be of such great value that instead of being bought or sold, it feels most natural to share it as a gift of grace. Learning together in this way can create a special connection with the “Divine” and with the universal values of Truth, Love and Oneness.
With trust and gratitude, we offer all learning programs and events without any financial price tag. They are not “free”, they are being offered “freely” so that money doesn’t become a barrier for anyone to participate. A donation offered from your heart (to Vidyamandir) supports us in continuing to offer our programs freely to all, but there is no obligation. It’s an experiment of giving and receiving unconditionally in the spirit of mutual care and Auroville’s intention to realise unity in diversity.
