About Aryadeep S. Acharya
Born and brought up in the city of Ahmedabad, in Gujarat, India; Aryadeep S. Acharya became a follower, a disciple of Sri Aurobindo at the age of twenty in 1972. In 1990, at the age of 38, he moved to Auroville. While living in and working for the appropriate and unified development of Auroville for over three decades, he has gradually developed his understanding about Auroville’s immense potentialities for the future direction of India and the world. In order to realise those potentialities, he has dreamed of a number of initiatives and projects and, God willing, launch them one by one under the aegis of Aryadeep Vision Foundation.

Logo of Aryadeep Vision Foundation - Explanation & Credit Acknowledgement
It was the beginning of 1971. Like in earlier years of the previous three decades, The Mother wrote her New Year message:
“The world is preparing for a big change. Will you help?”
One way to explain the aspiration and initiatives of the Aryadeep Vision Foundation is: to respond to The Mother’s call for “help” in some humble ways towards “a big change” “the world is preparing for”. Of course, the best way to “help” for “a big change” “the world is preparing for” is to bring about the change within oneself, in one’s inner state of consciousness. The logo of the Aryadeep Vision Foundation serves as a reminder to the “big change” within oneself as well as “big change” in the world.
This logo is originally a painting by a former Aurovilian and present friend and associate of Auroville Rolf Lieser from Germany. It expresses the profound process of psychological transformation that happens in oneself when one opens oneself to and emerges into the mountain top of one’s own greater self and truer consciousness. There, the ordinary agitating restless human mind and impure human nature are no more. One emerges from one’s small self to one’s greater larger truer self. There, one is “a right kind of giant” from the spiritual point of view.
With the artist’s kind permission, the paintings has been chosen as the logo because all the initiatives of the Aryadeep Vision Foundation have a single criterion: to facilitate the emergence of “broad sunlit uplands”, of “a fairer, brighter, nobler life for all mankind” in which both individual and collectivity emerge into their truer, larger, greater selves.
