Alexei
Alexei came to Auroville in 1992 when he was 13 years old. My son was given a big, loving heart, gentle and humble, which could not find the proper match in the world around him. Alexei was given a rebellious nature which made him to go through a hard life here in Auroville. His experience in Russia where Alexei had to go and stay from 2009 onwards was really tough.
In July 2014 Alexei made a conscious decision to stop drinking alcohol and to give up his desire for smoking dope.
In September Alexei had already foreseen his forthcoming departure from his body.
At the end of November my son started to gradually stop eating food and later to stop drinking water. Alexei died very peacefully on the 27th of January in Russia. He was 36 years old.
My son’s body was cremated on the 5th of February in Moscow.
I would like to share with you that my son always looked for Freedom and was searching for the real meaning of his life. Alexei chose uncommon paths on which to live and to die. I think his Soul realized the purpose of coming into my son’s body.
In Russia there is a tradition to remember a person who passed away on the 40th day from his departure. The day of remembering my son comes on the 8th of March. But I think it does not matter the exact day so much … I would say that whenever you read these words about my son - just look into the sky and wish a Big Soul, whom we have known in Auroville as Alexei, a Great Journey forward!
THANK YOU,
Galina (Invocation)
