Joshi
Today we have been informed that our friend and brother, Aurovilian Joshi (Jehoshua Friedlander, German nationality) peacefully passed away on Monday, September 16th, in the home of close relatives in Germany, thereby liberating himself from a long-drawn-out struggle with cancer. His wife Anando and daughter Bettina were present with him. He had just last week turned 74.
Originally hailing from Tel Aviv, Israel, Joshi joined Auroville in ’89, where he soon started the Celebration guesthouse in Kottakarai, around which by now a rather large and lively community has formed. For years Joshi had a little 'jewelry' making business and taught many of our youth to carve small items (dolphins and such) of mother-of-pearl etc.
Our love and sympathy go out to our good friends Anando and Bettina, and the grandchildren Samira and Jashan.
And for Joshi.., shalom!
