Basile Vignes
Our dear friend Basile Vignes passed away peacefully on Thursday 12 June in his house in France, surrounded by his partner Claudine, his son Simon, his stepdaughter Djénane and close friends. Basile lived in Dana, Auroville for nearly 20 years, between 2001 and 2019,
We will remember him for his gentleness, his warm sense of humour and his fraternal spirit—always ready to help!—and for his beautiful movies.
Basile was a multimedia artist, and in 2016 published his 52-minute documentary, "Auroville: Towards a Sustainable Future" which can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCCFPooVfV0)
May our thoughts accompany him on his final journey into the light. May he rest in peace and bliss.
Have a beautiful journey, Basile. We will always remember you with a smile and a joyful heart.

Immersed in voiceless internatal trance
The beings that once wore forms on earth sat there
In shining chambers of spiritual sleep.
Passed were the pillar-posts of birth and death,
Passed was their little scene of symbol deeds,
Passed were the heavens, and hells of their long road;
They had returned into the world's deep soul.
Along a road of pure interior light,
Alone between tremendous Presences,
Under the watching eyes of nameless Gods,
His soul passed on, a single conscious power,
Towards the end which ever begins again,
Approaching through a stillness dumb and calm
To the source of all things human and divine.
from: Sri Aurobindo, Savitri
