Mali (Rafael Vázquez Corona)

Rafael Vázquez Corona, named ‘Mali’ by The Mother, left his body in Spain on April 24th.

Mexican by origin, he was an Ashramite and an Aurovilian.

With The Mother’s approval, he founded the Utility community.

The Sri Aurobindo Center in Barcelona has a video where Mali recites, in Spanish, Sri Aurobindo’s poem ‘The Triumph Song of Trishuncou’. One of the lines is “My spirit shall avoid the hungry tomb…” Knowing Mali’s exuberant energy and undaunting spirit, he may have gone far beyond indeed.
