His teachings based on his belief in Human Unity are being practiced at the Sri Aurobindo Ashram and in Auroville. Located five miles north of Pondicherry, Auroville has been adopted by UNESCO as the first international city on Earth. Here, "the emphasis is on each man [or woman] discovering his [or her] own inner center behind their social, moral, cultural and racial heredity and appearances and actively living from that center, expressing it in outer work for the community." Many educational institutions and organizations throughout India are applying Sri Aurobindo's worldview in areas of education and human and social development.
