In memoriam - Ross A. Elliott

Ross A. Elliott left his body on June 23rd in PIMS at the age of 73, after a struggle with bladder cancer that took him through several hospitals since March this year. His close friends were with him.

Australian Ross joined Auroville in December 1995 and has been active ever since, widely and lightly sharing his communication skills with Auroville and its residents.

Starting at Matrimandir where he gave introduction talks to visitors, he soon entered the world of newcomers and students to Auroville whom he guided around in a light-hearted, animated and highly informative way. Also his improvisation theatre sessions were much appreciated.

Ross’s body was buried at the Adventure’s burial ground on June 27th.
