Jayram
Jayram (Jayaraman Ramalingam) of Arka was taken in the evening of 17th March, 2020, by his family to Nallam Clinic and from there to General Hospital where he left his body around 9pm due to a heart attack. He was only 38 years old.
Manager at Arka
Hailing from Kuilyapalayam, Jayram attended New Creation School where he got to know Maria Grazia, who was teacher there at the time. Subsequently he followed an electronics course, worked at New Creation’s swimming pool and always remained in touch with Auroville. At the age of 25 he officially joined and started working at Arka, eventually becoming its manager and executive. Many of our guests will remember him for his ultra-patient, friendly and gentle way of managing things, in a seemingly roundabout way but always having things in strict order.
In the last years, Jayram and his wife Ramana lived in Realization with their little son Sanjit going to Nandanam school. His passing was a terrible loss for them, as well as for Arka’s Krishnan and Maria Grazia, who took them up as family. Our heartfelt condolences go out to them and other family members in Auroville.
Jayram’s body remained at his brother’s house in Kuilyapalayam near Auroville Bakery during Wednesday 18th, and was cremated at 5pm at Kuilyapalayam’s mandappam.
Farewell Jayram. Auroville and many of its guests will remember you and salute you.
