Prateek

Tejaswi and Prateek were long term volunteers in Auroville from 2021 to 2023 and had worked with Auroville units such as Talam and Yuvabe during their stay. They got married in 2023 and moved to Bangalore and later to Chennai. They were planning to move back to Auroville on 28th July and were in Auroville to finalize their move. In a very tragic and shocking incident on Tuesday, 23rd July, Prateek suffered a heart attack and passed away. He was 34 years old and had no known health issues. The incident took place in the Grace community. The news is still sinking into the ones close to them. His last rites were concluded in Bangalore.

Prateek was a very generous, caring and loving person. He will be dearly missed by his friends and family. Please keep him, Teja and their family in your thoughts and prayers. We pray for The Mother's Grace.

We also want to thank the AV Emergency Services team, AV Security & Working Committee for the prompt support provided during this time.

Love and light,

Friends of Prateek and Teja
