Mali (Rafael Corona)
On Monday, 24th April, 2023, long ago pioneer Mali, born Rafael Vázquez Corona, left his body in Spain.
From Alfonso of AVI, Spain
The Mother herself gave the name "Mali" to Rafael Vázquez Corona. Mexican by origin, Mali was an Ashramite and an Aurovilian and by the Mother's mandate, he founded the Utilité community in 1968.
Those who knew him will have their pros and cons about him, but never indifference. The Sri Aurobindo Center in Barcelona has sent us a video where Mali recites, in Spanish, the poem ‘The Triumph Song of Trishuncou’.
One of the lines of the Trishuncou poem by Sri Aurobindo is “My spirit shall avoid the hungry tomb…” Knowing Mali’s exuberant energy and undaunting spirit, he may have gone far beyond indeed.
Our warmest salutations to an old comrade on the path.
