SriRam Jaiswal
This is to inform the community that SriRam Jaiswal, father of Himal and Giri, left his body in the Auroville Health Centre this afternoon at 4.00 pm. He was 75 years old and had been suffering from cancer. His family was with him at the time of passing.
Old-timers may remember him from the years that SriRam stayed here with his wife, sons and daughter during the end-seventies, beginning-eighties, working at Matrimandir and staying at Samriddhi. Some five years ago he and his wife Parvati returned to Auroville, where he taught at ALL and wrote short articles on the daily life of India, posted in News&Notes. His deep interest in languages brought him to Sarnath, Varanasi, where he taught Sanskrit, Hindi and English till his physical situation gave out.
SriRam's body will remain in the AVHC's Farewell Room where one can visit tomorrow, Friday 18th, from 8.00 am till 6.00 pm.
Cremation will take place on Saturday 19th, at Adventure's mandappam, at 8.00 am. Follow the flowers.
Our love and sympathy goes out to his wife and children - may he rest in peace.
