An Auroville democracy?

The main issue, as many see it, is the lack of leaders. The Mother envisaged a system of governance by people with an intuitive intelligence. But many Aurovilians argue that Auroville does not have people who function from the level of intuitive intelligence, and therefore propose to follow the beaten paths of democracy and elect people to certain positions. Others would like to follow Mother's indications, even if it means that many mistakes will be made.

• What is the solution? ...
• ‘As The Mother did not favour democracy, how can we create a government that is not democratic but that is still supported by the community?'
• ‘Should we create our own brand of democracy, an Auroville democracy?'
