How to Donate

Matrimandir is being realized through offerings!

 

The Goal is to complete Matrimandir, including the Park of Unity and the Lake, as an Offering to The Mother for Her 150th birth anniversary on 21 February 2028. 

 

The Matrimandir will be the soul of Auroville. The sooner the soul is there, the better it will be for everybody and especially for the Aurovilians.

The Mother November 15, 1970 

 

We are reaching out to all The Mother’s children to join hands to achieve this great endeavor.  

Double Your Donation for Matrimandir!

In honor of The Mother’s 148th Birth Anniversary on February 21, 2026, a generous donor has given us a challege: can we raise $25,000 for Matrimandir beofre March 31st?

If we do, AVI USA will match every donation. 

That means a total of $50,000 toward the development and completion of the three remaining gardens in the Matrimandir Park of Unity. 

Beginning on February 21st, all donations toward these gardens will be matched, up to $25,000.

The three gardens that are to be developed are:

  • The Garden of Youth
    Mother’s Comment: Hibiscus Beauty of Supramental Youth
  • The Garden of Harmony
    Mother’s Comment: “Simple, noble, dignified, powerful and charming”. 
  • The Garden of Perfection
    Mother’s Comment: “There is not one psychological perfection, but five, like the five petals of this flower. We have said they are : Sincerity, Faith, Devotion, Aspiration and Surrender, but as a matter of fact every time I give this flower it is not always the same psychological perfection. It is something very fluid, depending on the circumstances and the need of the people”

The total amount required to complete the three gardens is approximately $400,000. If you or your family would like to make a larger contribution toward the full project, please contact us at info@aviusa.org.
