In memoriam - Krishna
Krishna
Krishna was born in 1969 in Kuilaypalayam village. He soon came to live in New Creation Boarding. Being an enthusiastic and active young chap open to learning many things, he rapidly got involved in community life. He first joined Aureka and worked with Sylvio. Then André Tardeil gave him an old Ambassador car to drive people around in Auroville. This seeded an interesting idea: to start a transport service for the community. It was the birth of New Creation Transport Service which he started together with André and Mani.
It was a demanding job. Krishna worked day and night to offer this important service. In 2007 he left New Creation Transport Service and started Unity Transport Service. But his hard work took a toll on his frail health: in March 2022, he suffered a stroke and was bedridden for almost two years, being taken care of by his wife and daughters. He passed away on May 29th. His body was buried the same day at the Auroville Burial Ground.
