Rajamani
In the early morning of August 13th, 2005, V. Rajamani, in Auroville known as Big Rajamani, passed away at the age of 55 after suffering an acute heart attack. His body was cremated the same day in the Kuilyapalayam burial ground close by his house in Douceur..
Rajamani was a long-time Aurovilian, having been trained in Aspiration's "Toujours Mieux" workshop and growing along with it. When the workshop evolved into "Aureka", Rajamani became one of its executives, specifically taking care of coordination of the workload and workers. Throughout the years, Rajamani grew to be very instrumental in the growth of the unit towards its present stature.
Being a family man, Rajamani took care not only of his own five children, but he and his wife Kasthuri also raised his younger siblings as well as the three children of his brother and sisters. His house in Douceur was open to all.
He will be sorely missed.
