Prema
This is to inform the community that our dear friend and sister Prema (Adelina Intanno) of Auromode, proceeded to higher spaces in the afternoon of 17 December at 3pm in her home at Auromodele, in the presence of her partner André, Jacqueline and Louis C. She had been bravely fighting a terminal ailment during the last two years, and was 68 years old.
We will all remember Prema as a high spirited, strong willed and devoted Aurovilian who, from the moment she arrived from Argentina in 1979, started working toward the creation of ‘Auromode’, which would eventually become one of Auroville's major commercial units and with which her name for ever will be associated. On Sunday 21st a silent commemoration was held for her at the Matrimandir’s Banyan tree.
Prema’s body remained for viewing in Auroshilpam's temporary Farewell House till Monday 22 December when the remains were buried in Adventure’s funeral grounds at 4pm in the afternoon with a great many of her friends, colleagues and former employees attending.
Farewell, Prema, and thank you for all your energies, generosity and dedication to Mother’s Auroville.
Our love and strength go out to André and their 17-year old daughter Pavithra, and other close friends.
OM
