Stefano Moro

Courageous Perseverance

Our good friend and brother Stefano Moro from Italy, who was with us here from 1981 onwards, serenely and peacefully left his body on Monday, February 17th 2003, at 10 am in his home in Aurodam. He was just 47 years old.

About

Stef battled with a most aggressive form of cancer for over a year, opting for natural and alternative means of treatment only. During this time he determinedly built up an increasingly strong and alive connection with his inner self, from which place he continued to radiate hope and faith, light and love to the ones coming in contact with him.

As long as he could, he read works of Sri Aurobindo, the Mother and Satprem. This strengthened and guided him in his integral yoga approach of actively, consciously confronting the karmic formation encountered by him in this lifetime.

“I'll work this out,” he said, “even if it would mean I would die along with it...”

Stefano’s courageous perseverance, and the delight gained from new inner discoveries during this painful venture, impressed and uplifted the many friends who stood by him.

Hats off for this, Stefano, and thank you for your music and presence while you were here.

Go and come with love from all of us.

Our love and support and strength go to Stef's mother who was here these last months, and to Rossella and Namoi who were involved in his decision to approach the illness in a natural way and who staunchly stood at his side all the way. May Mother, and Auroville, embrace you.

Many Aurovilians came to bid him farewell. His body was buried in Aurodam on Thursday, 19-02-03.
