In memoriam - Eva

On February 11th, Eva passed away in her apartment in Citadines after a brain haemorrhage. She had just celebrated her 77th birthday on February 8th with her fraternal family in Citadines community, full of joy and deeply happy.

Eva came to Auroville in 1987. When she arrived she said she had come home. She first lived in Aspiration, then moved to Revelation, later to Djaima and finally to Citadines.

Eva served in the Auroville Council and in the Entry Group, worked as a teacher in the pre-crèche and helped in the creation of Deepanam school. She will primarily be remembered for her artistic work: her paintings, sculpture and collages. She had several exhibitions in Pitanga and in Centre d'Art. She considered that each painting was the result of an inner experience that she was happy to share with anyone interested in her art. She never sold any of her paintings, but offered them to those who were touched by her work. 

The Mother's Agenda was her bedside table book, she read and re-read the 13 volumes over and over, rediscovering them each time; it was a deepening process. She would surrender everything to the Divine and to The Mother. 

Eva’s remains were cremated at the Auroville cremation grounds on February 18th.
