In memoriam - Hans Pfunder

In the early morning of Wednesday 6 December 2017, Hans Pfunder left his body in Marika’s Senior Home in Samasti. Suffering from a terminal illness, his health had been deteriorating over these last years. He would have been 65.

Hans, who had trained as an electrician in Germany, had been coming to Auroville in earlier years and joined in June 1996. Living till last year a solitary life in Silence adjacent to Vérité, his self-styled ‘Innovations Unlimited’ supplied Aurovilians with a wide range of handy electronic gadgets that followed the trend of the times.

His yearly sojourns in small Buddhist ashrams in Thailand and Myanmar gave him perspective, peace and deep understanding.

Hans’ remains were buried at the Adventure grounds on December 9th.
