Embracing Growth and Inner Peace: My Auroville Youth Camp Experience

Ms Nidhi R Nadiger is a dedicated professional working at Capgemini, originally from the vibrant city of Hubli, Karnataka.

The Auroville Youth Camp was a truly surreal and blissful experience. The positivity, warmth, and, most importantly, the presence of The Divine Mother made the place feel like Heaven on Earth.

The camp was designed to focus on physical, emotional, and spiritual growth, and it was structured in such a way that allowed for a balanced development in all these areas. The community living aspect taught me invaluable lessons in adjustment, helping others, time management, and the realization that when we set our minds to something and give ourselves a deadline, we can achieve our goals.

I had the privilege of learning many insightful lessons from the speakers. Sraddhalu ji's talk particularly inspired me, emphasizing how faith and surrender play a crucial role in the journey of life. Gaurav ji’s sessions were equally amazing, offering practical wisdom on how to take better care of our physical bodies through simple yet powerful techniques.

Raghav ji's discussion on the importance of clarity for personal progress was incredibly helpful, and Sampadananda ji’s profound knowledge of Sanskrit opened our eyes to the language's significance and depth.

The activities, such as sports at Dehashakti, Kalaripayattu, and Cycling, were not only fun but also taught us the value of teamwork and physical fitness as essential components for achieving our goals.

Svaram’s Sound Bath, the visit to the Matrimandir, and the Sri Aurobindo Ashram were beyond words. Meditating inside the inner chamber of the Matrimandir was an awe-inspiring experience—the Silence there had a power I never fully understood until that moment.

The conversations with the Aurovillians were enlightening and shifted my perspective on life. I realized how important it is to love our work, not for material success, but for the inner peace, clarity, and self-confidence it brings. These elements truly give our lives meaning.

Overall, it was an unforgettable experience that I will cherish for a lifetime. A heartfelt thanks to Mollika di and the entire team for giving us the opportunity and teachings to help shape our futures.

Thanks and Regards,

Nidhi R Nagider
