實在,當年荒蕪一片的野地,經過曙光村「村民」和歷年的訪客的協作,栽種了二百萬棵綠樹,水土流失的防治工作亦漸見成效,成為一片綠洲,1983 年成立的The Auroville Village Action Group (AVAG) 積極組織附近的塔米爾村落,修建水喉,為殘障或失學的兒童提供教育,協助婦女脫貧及發展社區本位的小形經濟。Earth Institute 則定期為印度和各地的工程師、建築師、志願者舉辦課程,講授就地取材,與當地人生活條件適切,低成本、抗天然災害的建築方法和土木工技術,並就水力/風力/天然氣等可再生能源的具體應用進行研究,這些研究成果,不單用於曙光村的建築項目,這些項目的人力與技術資源也不單同時投入在附近的塔米爾村落以至朋迪榭里的學校、社區建築的建造計劃,也投放於協助南亞海嘯重建,更直接啟動印度新德理、以至沙地阿拉伯的類似項目。另一個著名的Sadhana 再植林計劃 ,則是以志願者為基礎,一方面讓他們學習接近自然,低碳消耗,對自然環境生態破壞最少、對動物不施虐、善用水資源的小集體農耕生活方式,同時為 Sadhana 生態的恢復作出努力。

Ranjish hi sahi dil hi dukhaanay kay liyay aa
Let it be anguish, come still to torment my heart aa phir say mujhay chhorr kay jaanay kay liyay aa
Come, even if to leave me again
pehlay say maraasim na sahi phir bhi kabhi to
If not for our past association rasm-o-rahay duniya hi nibhaanay kay liyay aa
Come to fulfill the rituals of the world
kis kis ko bataayengay judaai kaa sabab ham
Who else must I explain the reason of separation tu mujh se khafaa hai to zamaanay kay liyay aa
Come, despite your displeasure, to continue the ceremony
kuchh to meri pindaar-e-mohabbat ka bharam rakh
Respect a little the depth of my love for you tu bhi to kabhi mujh ko manaanay kay liyay aa
Come someday to placate me as well
ek umr say hun lazzat-e-giryaa se bhi mehruum
Too long have I been deprived of the pathos of longing aye raahat-e-jaan mujh ko rulaanay kay liyay aa
Come my love, if only to make me weep again
ab tak dil-e-khush_feham ko tujh say hain ummeedain
Till now, my heart suffers from some expectation ye aakhari shammain bhi bujhaanay kay liyay aa
Come to snuff even these last candles of hope
