(Mother to Satprem, [[1967]]:) “And after all, what we want ... we know that we need, not an artificially new language, but something supple enough to be able to adapt to the needs of a new CONSCIOUSNESS; and that's probably how that language will emerge, from a number of old languages, through the disappearance of habits.<br> | |||
What's specific to each language (apart from a few differences in words) is the order in which ideas are presented: the construction of sentences. The Japanese (and the Chinese even more so) have solved the problem by using only the sign of the idea. Now, under the influence from outside, they have added phonetic signs to build a sentence; but even now the order in the construction of the ideas is different. … They can express new ideas and things far more easily through juxtaposition of signs.<br> | |||
But now, with this ‘new logic’ and ‘new mathematics’, a whole set of new signs is beginning to be universal, that is to say, the same signs express the same ideas or things in all countries, whatever language is used in the country, quite independently.<br> | |||
These new thoughts and new experiences, this new logic and new mathematics, are now taught in higher classes, but all the primary and secondary studies have remained in the old formula, so I have been very seriously thinking of opening primary and secondary schools in Auroville, based on the new system — as a trial.”<ref>''[[Mother's Agenda 1967]]'', 18 February 1967</ref> | |||

Aurograms: An international system of pictograms and ideograms to introduce to children the art of reading, an instrument for their self-knowledge and their knowledge of the world. | |||

'''Dedication and destination | |||
This game is dedicated to Auro-Ilango, the little Tamil prince of Auroville, and to all the Auros of present and future Aurovilles. It is destined for the little princes of the year 2000 who will perhaps no longer need to learn reading, writing and arithmetic, because accurate computers will do such work for them, but who will need to understand their universe as well as themselves. It is addressed to the thinker, the ontologist, the psychologist, the poet, the creator present in each child who expects to be offered a mirror, a game, an instrument by which he may recognise himself, develop himself, and consciously manifest himself. | |||
The word '''aurogram''' comes from '''auro''' in homage to [[Sri Aurobindo]] who has traced the path towards a new dimension of consciousness and a new art of living. The root '''aur''' also means ‘gold’, so the aurograms are the writing of children of the new golden age. | |||
May the aurograms help the children of the world to manifest in joy the new age which was announced long ago in the Hindu tradition as an ‘Era of Truth’, and which will see the blossoming of man, the earth and the entire universe. | |||
'''Pictograms and ideograms | |||
The aurograms form an international system of writing, a pasigraphy for the use of children. Just as Chinese writing can be read in several Chinese dialects, and related languages such as Japanese, Korean and Annamese, the aurograms can be read and written by children all over the world, whatever may be their mother tongue. | |||
Aurograms are not a phonetic writing. A word written phonetically is foreign to all who do not speak that language. Each aurogram represents an element of our universe by an image which, singly, may be distinguished from all others. It is that image or symbol, holding the power of meaning, which is the word. | |||
We call pictogram the representation of an element according to its physical appearance. The aurograms ‘a cow’, ‘a plane’, ‘a rainbow’ are pictograms. | |||
<div style="text-align:center;">[[File:Aurogram 362.png|70px]] [[File:Aurogram 413.png|70px]] [[File:Aurogram 323.png|70px]]</div> | |||
And we call ideogram the symbolisation of an element by an analogous or a non-figurative form. The aurograms ‘here’, ‘the beginning’, and ‘the future’ are ideograms. | |||
<div style="text-align:center;">[[File:Aurogram 396.png|70px]] [[File:Aurogram 73.png|70px]] [[File:Aurogram 402a.png|70px]]</div> | |||
'''How many facets does an aurogram have? | |||
The only rule in the game of aurograms consists in avoiding all narrowness in their interpretation. The fact that an aurogram is identical to a word does not imply a limitation of the word by the image it represents any more than the word implies the limitation of an object, or an action, or a movement of consciousness that it might represent. Rather it is desirable to regard the aurograms as an invitation to surpass the surface meaning of their symbol. | |||
‘To run’, for example, is represented by a human being running. Yet the action of all that runs or seems to run is expressed with this word image: | |||
<div style="text-align:center;">[[File:Aurogram 108.png|70px]] [[File:Aurogram 36.png|70px]] the child runs</div> | |||
<div style="text-align:center;">[[File:Aurogram 364.png|70px]] [[File:Aurogram 36.png|70px]] the lion runs</div> | |||
<div style="text-align:center;">[[File:Aurogram 326.png|70px]] [[File:Aurogram 36.png|70px]] the cloud runs</div> | |||
<div style="text-align:center;">[[File:Aurogram 71.png|70px]] [[File:Aurogram 36.png|70px]] the wave runs…</div> | |||
The aurogram with two hands holding something, which means ‘to hold’, symbolises the action of anyone holding anything. | |||
<div style="text-align:center;">[[File:Aurogram 107.png|70px]] [[File:Aurogram 91.png|70px]] [[File:Aurogram 238.png|70px]] mother holds an umbrella</div> | |||
<div style="text-align:center;">[[File:Aurogram 123.png|70px]] [[File:Aurogram 91.png|70px]] [[File:Aurogram 351.png|70px]] the bird holds a seed</div> | |||
<div style="text-align:center;">[[File:Aurogram 257.png|70px]] [[File:Aurogram 91.png|70px]] [[File:Aurogram 250.png|70px]] the cord holds a kite…</div> | |||
‘To be born’ is the privilege not only of the bird. A child is born; a plant, a boat, a book, -- all are born… | |||
<div style="text-align:center;">[[File:Aurogram 312.png|70px]] [[File:Aurogram 122.png|70px]] [[File:Aurogram 123.png|70px]] [[File:Aurogram 124.png|70px]] a star is born, it lives and dies</div> | |||
To those playing with the aurograms, it quickly becomes evident that they are not simply what they appear to be. While learning to liberate himself from their most physical suggestion, a child prepares himself to explore their hidden aspects and capabilities for expression. | |||

Aurograms
(Mother to Satprem, 1967:) “And after all, what we want ... we know that we need, not an artificially new language, but something supple enough to be able to adapt to the needs of a new CONSCIOUSNESS; and that's probably how that language will emerge, from a number of old languages, through the disappearance of habits.
What's specific to each language (apart from a few differences in words) is the order in which ideas are presented: the construction of sentences. The Japanese (and the Chinese even more so) have solved the problem by using only the sign of the idea. Now, under the influence from outside, they have added phonetic signs to build a sentence; but even now the order in the construction of the ideas is different. … They can express new ideas and things far more easily through juxtaposition of signs.
But now, with this ‘new logic’ and ‘new mathematics’, a whole set of new signs is beginning to be universal, that is to say, the same signs express the same ideas or things in all countries, whatever language is used in the country, quite independently.
These new thoughts and new experiences, this new logic and new mathematics, are now taught in higher classes, but all the primary and secondary studies have remained in the old formula, so I have been very seriously thinking of opening primary and secondary schools in Auroville, based on the new system — as a trial.”[1]
