In memoriam - Murugan

Murugan Adhimoolam left his body on August 11th at the age of 43. Hailing from Kottakarai, Murugan joined Auroville in 2007 and has been working with Michel in Dana’s Flame Pottery. He lived with his wife Meena (who does the catering for Transition School) and their two children Adhavan, at college in Chennai, and Arthi studying in Pondy.

Apart from his work at the pottery, Aurovilians experienced Murugan’s calm and friendly presence at various occasions, such as at Matrimandir duty, the organisation of the Marathons, Sangamam festivities and other such events. He also helped Celestine with her art work on Auroville’s roads.

Murugan’s remains were buried at Adventure’s burial grounds on August 12th.
