Deep Asher
Deep Asher, an Aurovilian hailing from Bengal, passed away on September 8th in his room in New Creation Field. Deep was 35 years old and had joined Auroville in March 2002. He worked in Last School, teaching mathematics, physics and English.
Deep's remains were cremated at Adventure's Mandapam in the evening of September 9th, with his father, brother, colleagues and friends attending the quiet event. A collective concentration for Deep was held a few days later around the Super School Banyan Tree in the Last School campus.
To my dear friend Deep
You have given me a hard time trying to understand why you chose to leave the Auroville you loved so dearly. Now I just accept whatever reason you took, and send you in peace. I'm sure the Mother will carry you gently onto your next journey.
You have shown a model of how a teacher could become a real friend of his students. I can never appreciate enough your deep and deep-reaching compassion towards everything.
You were always staying in the background and not known in detail even to me, but your soul always radiated its fragrant warmth. I will miss you very much.
Farewell, for the time being, my friend.
