In memoriam - Anand Agrawal

On October 30th, Anand Agrawal left his body due to kidney failure. He was 43 years old.

Anand, who grew up as student in the Ashram, came 15 years ago to Auroville and had been working as sports teacher in Dehashakti and Deepanam. For years he stayed in Courage where his flat was an oasis of peace, quiet and serenity. Unfortunately, these last years the precarious situation of his kidneys took him out of Auroville for medical treatment at more or less regular intervals. He was known as a gentle, quiet and conscientious person whose contact with Sri Aurobindo and the Mother was silently radiant.

Anand’s body was taken to the new farewell facility for friends to bid farewell. It was cremated at the Adventure cremation ground.
