THE FOUNDER
OF MIRAPURI AND MIRAVILLAGE
Michel Montecrossa - Cyberartist, Musician
and Futurist came to Mira
Alfassa - The Mother who is the spiritual companion of Sri
Aurobindo, in 1969. She extended a warm and loving friendship
to Michel Montecrossa. Out of this friendship many plans and the basic
ideas for Mirapuri and Miravillage
evolved. The Mother gave him a treasure of knowledge, informations
and documents in the form of pictures, movies, recordings and writings.
On her behalf Michel Montecrossa started the Filmaur
Multimedia company with its divisions Mirapuri-Verlag
(Publishinghouse), Mira Sound Germany
and Miraprint and founded Mirapuri
- the City of Peace and Future Man in Europe (Italy) with its first
satellite Miravillage in Germany.
Mirapuri and Miravillage are both independent and selfsupporting places where people from all over
the world can, in accordance with The Mother's wish, live and work
together to practise the Integral
Yoga of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother and realize their Ideals
of Peace, Goodwill, Human Unity and Progress.

EXPERIENCES
WITH THE MOTHER
"When the work for Mirapuri and Miravillage started in 1970",
says Michel Montecrossa, "I often had to travel through Europe.
For this activities I received a signed fotograf by The Mother (the
picture above) to accompany me. On this fotograf she looked very much
the same way as she looked at me when I was with her. She explained
that in each picture of her there is also the living psychic presence
of her and so the soul can always be together with her and see her
wherever the body might be. In fact one can even feel and come in
touch with her subtle physical presence which gathers around the foto,
and has its own independent life and way of acting. Since then I continously
experience the truth of this fact and feel and see The Mother to be
constantly with me."
"On another occasion The Mother gave me a small envelop with
her symbol printed on it and she said: 'These are my blessings. There
are flowerpetals in the envelop and if you keep it near to you the
contact with me will always be established and you can even get an
answer to a question.' After that day she gave me many, many such
blessing packets and everything she said proved to be true. Now life
became very easy because whenever a question arises I get the answer
from The Mother. She also said, that when she touches someone, her
force stays with the person and will go to every one near to this
person who is receptive enough. The Mother then touched me many times
so that all who work with me might receive her force and blessings.
Since then I can witness every day in me and in those who surround
me the effects of the truth-action and help of the force of The Mother."
"When she had asked me to produce the 'Meditations on Savitri'
movie-series she said: 'I don't want to give him only blessings. I
want to give him Special Blessings.' Then she asked someone to bring
a box with a little, leather bound, book-like card in it showing two
fotos of her and Sri Aurobindo. She kept this Special Blessing packet
in her hands and for about half an hour went into a deep trance, projecting
all that was necessary for the accomplishment of the work into it.
After that the work began and while it was going on I was constantly
experiencing how the Savitri paintings changed into living beings,
disclosing their life and message, so that I could easily find the
right way to transform it all into a movie. When the 'Meditations
on Savitri' movie-series was completed I had grown not only into an
expert on Savitri and the many stories and informations about its
occult meaning, but knew that the realities and beings behind the
images have become part of my soul. They go on living there and unfold
and make always stronger the power of the New Consciousness of Future
Man which, as The Mother said, is the true builder of Mirapuri and
Miravillage."
"The place for the foundation of Mirapuri was discussed and a
certain place was suggested. The Mother said, although it seemed to
be a suitable place it was better not to build Mirapuri there, as
some problems will come to this place and impede the progress of Mirapuri.
(Later I heard that the place which was suggested became a place for
depositing radioactive materials.) She then indicated a place in north
Italy and said: 'Build Mirapuri there.' When I asked how I should
recognize the place she said: 'I will show it to you in the meditation.'
Then I meditated and saw a landscape with distinct features. I made
a painting of what I had seen, and when I traveled into the area The
Mother had designated for Mirapuri, I soon recognized the special
features of the landscape, I had seen in the meditation. I knew now
where Mirapuri was to be built. I remembered also that The Mother
had remarked, that Italy is a country which is receptive to the supramental
force."
"One day The Mother explained in a message the principles of
the new education. When I asked, if these principles are not also
the guiding lights for the new life in Mirapuri and Miravillage, as
she wanted these places to be simple, sincere and free places, she
said that they indeed are the guiding lights for Mirapuri and Miravillage:
Truth, Harmony, Liberty."

FUTURIST
Michel Montecrossa's futuristic outlook on things is part of every
aspect of his life. Mirapuri
and Miravillage in their
totality unite the essence of his creative energies and forms of expression:
they are a holistic work of art manifesting in ever-changing and ever-renewed
and often surprising and always refreshing ways the spirit of the
Integral Yoga and the Ideals
of Sri Aurobindo
and The Mother.
Thanks to the intense and creative years of friendship with The Mother
and her many gifts and communications, as well as the continuous work
for and in Mirapuri and Miravillage, Michel Montecrossa is now one
of the profoundest european experts of the Integral Yoga and the life
and work of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. He expresses his vast futuristic
knowledge of Yoga, Consciousness Research, Physial Transformation
Training, New Psychology, Philosophy, Art, Science, Technology, Economy
and Modern Management not only though his writing, songlyrics, poetry
and multivarious artforms, but also through his Study Circles at the
Mirapuri International Research Academy
(M.I.R.A.) and Seminars in universities and educational and cultural
institutions all over the world.
In accordance with the will of The Mother he defines and lays down
in the M.I.R.A. Study Circles the outlines and fundaments of the Future
Integral Culture, uniting the different and often isolated aspects
of human creative intelligence in the New Consciousness of Transformation
and ever-expanding Evolution.
Mirapuri and Miravillage, in their simplicity as well as in their
complexity, are first prototypes for this Integral Culture in action.
Within the creative environment of Mirapuri and Miravillage Michel
Montecrossa is also developing a specific project which he worked
out together with The Mother: the Mandala-Center of Integral Culture
in Mirapuri. (In his book 'The Sunrevolution' he explains in great
detail the vision, meaning and reality of the Mandala-Center of Integral
Culture in Mirapuri).
Another aspect of Michel Montecrossa's activities at the Mirapuri
International Research Academy is the introduction into a new approach
to art education, bridging the gulf between intellectual-esthetic
and physical celluar experience. This New Consciousness approach to
art and body-transformation was also worked out together with The
Mother during the years 1970-1973 and since then grows in perfection.
Thus Michel Montecrossa the Futurist brings to unfoldment in Mirapuri
and Miravillage all the treasures which The Mother has embedded in
his soul, so that everbody can participate in the joy and love of
the New Creation.
