You'd think there was some seedy truth to the place but an ex of mine had family involved in the administration of the place and I've been there (both before I knew her and after). Quite a charming place in reality.

Though I'm told everything almost fell apart after a founder or big leader died and the government had to step in. It's the Indian government so usually that's a disaster but this one seems to have turned out okay.

Anyway, it's unlikely the website can handle an average company let alone HN so mirrors:

Went to Auroville, really nice place along with Pondicherry. There is an element of cult to the place but their message is good

I went there, too. A lot, and only, black people working for 'illuminated' white (rich) ones: I was pretty shocked.

Nothing new, really: and this is pretty sad.
