Towards an

Auroville Physical Education

Integral Physical Education seeks the conscious development of the body as an instrument for growth, awareness, harmony, collective evolution and spiritual transformation.

In her Essay on Physical Education The Mother begins thus:

Of all the domains of human consciousness, the physical is the one most completely governed by method, order, discipline, process. The lack of plasticity and receptivity in matter has to be replaced by a detailed organisation that is both precise and comprehensive. In this organisation, one must not forget the interdependence and interpenetration of all the domains of the being.”

“I must tell you once more that for us spiritual life does not mean contempt for Matter but its divinisation.

We do not want to reject the body but to transform it. For this physical education is one of the means most directly effective.”

The Mother
