Visiting Auroville community in India 🇮🇳 

Sorry for the weird map my Indian friends. Tried to simplify that complex shape....but i guess i went a bit far

At first I didn't understand the strong reactions to the map, but googling a current map shows that the entire east part of India next to Bangladesh is missing.

I visited in 1995, it was nice to see again!

I am amazed to learn about those communities from you guys! I always thought they only have to turn into weird experiments in the end, like the one from US with architect founder. But I guess this only shows the bad effect the news and media have on us - we only get served by media skewed, sensational and pessimistic stuff, but never about places like Tamera or Auroville that successfully function of 40 or 50 years! This is very disruptive work IMO :) + Big kudos for travelling/researching in India at times when virus rates are around 90 000 cases a day there.

I'm actually really excited to see how project kamp turns out. I think Dave is going to do a really good job, especially with all this research!!

I love that you are researching these other communities.

Thanks for posting and sharing. I am glad to learn a little bit about this place.

Thanks for posting and sharing.

🙏 Thanks for lovely information.. 🎉🎉 .

One of the best video about this place👍👍👍

The hardest thing mankind will ever do is live in community! I live among an Amish community of about 300 people. Incredible discipline is required to give up your own will for the good of the community BUT the rewards are also great. Peace, security, friendship, stable marriages, great life for kids... lots of good things and a more restricted life with fewer freedoms than most Americans are willing to agree to. I really love what you are exploring Dave. Love watching and listening. Glad to be one of your patrons!

Thank you

Big fan of your work with plastics ..... want to start some like that in india .....

honest infornation thanks🥰

ótimo muito bom. nunca sai do Brasil pra lugar nenhum tenho vontade de viaja falta só dinheiro.

I am curious when you filmed this...not seeing any masks or mention of the COVID pandemic...last I heard Sadhana Forest has been "closed" to it's normal operations because of this...correct me if I am wrong.... I myself have been living primarily without money the last 6 years and I've had friends visit Sadhana Forest/Aurroville, and it has been on my list.

Gotta make that bling bling Dave

Really very interesting!

Espectacular ese lugar, ahora en 2020 mucha gente se esta dando cuenta realmente donde viven, en sistemas corruptos lleno de políticos sedientos de poder y riquezas, en todos los países o la gran mayoría. Saludos desde Uruguay

Well, we saw the trash handling system in Auroville. Maybe you metioned them your plastic recycling way. What they thinking about this? They will try to use that recycling way? What was them objection? Thank you.

Dear Dave, Please wear a helmet next time!

Welcome to Tamilnadu Dave

Hello dave sir..can i have your email id for the purpose to learn about the plastic recycleing machine..thank u from karnataka India.

I'm sorry, but that giant golden ball remind me too much of the silo in George Orwell's Animal Farm.

As sophisticated as we are as a species, we still create abundance of waste we don't seem to be able to clean up, and it goes on and on, and on,...

*You're still here? Can we meet?*

if you ever come to costa rica it would be nice to hang out maybe :)

I read all the comments no one mention Zeitgiest.

leuk!! Leuk om de Ville te zien in deze tijd! Bedankt! Also the interviews are interesting. I think the founders left legacy but not all the leaders know where to follow, this might be a problem for all long-standing community. And however it is, one of the most challenging aspects I find is working with human nature. Hmmm 🤔

Hey Dave, nice video as always! I love Project Kamp because some 11 years ago I watched a documentary called Zeitgeist Moving Forward. It explains that all social problems we have are caused by the way we organize society, whcih is the economic system we use. Which is Capitalism. So to solve those problems we need to build a new model that makes the old one obsolete (as Buckminster Fuller said). But, using computers as an analogy for society, the economic system would be the operating software, the software, the abstract part... and the physical part, the hardware, would be the cities. So to build this new economic system that replaces capitalism by making it obsolete it needs to be a much more advanced system, and such an advanced system can't run on current cities, it's like trying to run Windows 10 in a 1990's Macintosh. So the plan proposed to build this new economic system, the Resource Based Economy, is for us, the people, to unite and build new cities from scratch. Which is exactly what Project Kamp's about. That's why I urge you, specially now that you have been to Auroville, to watch this documentary. Look at the circular shape in Auroville and in the city model presented in the documentary.

Hello Map of Bharat ( India )is not proper , ps note it

Nice to learn about! You start by explaining is as a place where men and women can live together in peace and harmony. Do you reckon this goal is achieved? All the business owners/project leaders that you spoke to seem to be male. How is the power divided between the genders? What ate the community's approaches to prevent (different types of) oppression, and in what ways is it succesful?

Nice

please add SUBTITLES to your videos as you speak to diffrent accents divercity of people in English

21:46 - Expectation: "People are going to be upset in RU-vid [because of comments about commercialization of the project]" RU-vid Comments: "But the Map!"

Can some one from India explain why the map is such a sensitive topic?

Do visit Mumbai

Something from that place doesn't look right

2:57 Google Chrome

19:29 this is how I feel about religious sites, I mean human create war just to claim these holy sites

man how dare u show that map .

plz correct the map of india

There is nothing wrong with tourism!! its a city of 3000 people and a hub of intentional community! its not just about money and supporting the proejct but also about getting the message out to the rest of the world!

Great video but sir kindly show complete map of India you have completely forgot to show north east India which is very big

Don't use hand ogh

haha I was there in 2019

Esclavos por todas partes.

it sounds familiar , like Comunism

Why this incorrect , distorted map didn't fixed yet

Hey! At 0:23 Why did you exclude NE Indian states in the map? What visual cunning manipulated propaganda r u guys doing against our country? Does ur school Geography books depict our country like that????

Ahhh sorry Dave that your well-intentioned map has to be thrown in the middle of political unrest in India about the country’s map 😐 Hopefully there isn’t too many of us who are too concerned about its accuracy on a video that strives to look at an Indian city as an inspiration for a remarkable project..

In all the videos made about auroville concludes this place was a desert and became forest. As a local and almost following the growth of auroville from the very begining, your presentation is not fully Correct.there were six tamil villagers inhabited and survived for millenium.why only expressing the development of forest How about the creater and the vision.no one able to understand and able to present correct version.

You show wrong map of India

Kindly request you for correct Indian map. Thanks

The recycle guy is wearing a lacoste tshirt....

What sort of map is it. Correct the map .

Before blogging learn about the country the map ur showing is disrespect to my country...just for that I m gone dislike the video and gone report

What the hell. Wat have you done with our map ? Thats extremely wrong. U have removed 1/3rd of india.

That map of india at 0.23 is very wrong. Very very wrong. It has chopped off entire Eastern arm of India. My hometown isn't on your map. Fix it. Also, Auroville is quite rotten at the core. I've been and know people who've lived there and left. There's a lot of infighting . Somehow ego and greed are far stronger than community, compassion and the environment. If you speak up about this, your "maintenance" is held up or you're excommunicated. It is conformity in the worst way. I feel they'll try this in Goa, too. Arambol is riddled with such people. All money. I wish these were done with more kindness and they didn't look down at the natives. I wonder how many Indians hold important positions at that place.

feel like it's a cult place.

first of all change the Indian map..that is not right one....

Zeitgiest

Wrong time to show an improper indian map. Please correct it ASAP.

Ok. MAP IS WRONG. fix it. Kashmir and North East India is completely missing. Only the Chinese do and Pakistanis do this. You'll not be welcome in India if you did that intentionally.

Disliked the video because of the wrong map of India.

map of my Nation India is wrong .please correct it immediately

Map of india is wrong

Wrong map showing our country change mistake 😠😠😠😠😠

How about that you have not spoke with a experienced old villagers who could have told you about that managed to millennium without any problems The land was never a desert Therewere five villagers sustained their life Many falsehood views in your presentation I am so sorry for you

Holy cow, Batman, that "map" looks like a THWAP zzZING sound comment bubble... He visited One part of India for This video. It was Not meant to be a travelogue of the Entire continent, just the part relevant to This visit. How very Spiritual of the inhabitants to be so easy to take offense, at a simple Logistical decision. Although it is obvious how much pride the population at large has in the cleanliness of their roadsides, for a single example of the Many hygienic ...faux pas(?), inherent to the Indian culture. Go ahead, scare off your prospective tourists, by threatening arrest over what is obviously Not a map, but a generalized outline diagram! No roads, only One city dot, no water bodies, and Zero cow representations. Wouldn't surprise me if you think you have a trademark on the word Map, and you'll claim Dave owes a royalty for (incorrectly, but understandably) using the word... Attaboy, Dave (American obscure humor) google it.

hope you look at all negatif point of this place to not copi this really wrong "comunauty"

Using a wrong map of India is illegal, do you wish to get arrested the next time you are here? please FIX IT

You my friend are playing with fire, the map you are using is illegal, unless you want to face the netizens of India, fix the map!! take down the video and re upload i don't care, fix it.
