Tenzin Dolkar
Young Aurovilian Tenzin Dolkar, born in Nepal of Tibetan nationality and mother of two, suffered in the early morning of Friday April 22nd an accident on her motorbike due to a stray dog that came in her way on the Auroville road near UTS transport office. She underwent brain surgery the very same day in PIMS and although her condition initially appeared stable, she left her body on April 27th due to cardiac arrest. She was 31 years young.
Tenzin first came for a short while to Auroville as a 16-year old teenager to then return for good in 2003 along with her 3-your old son Ragdol (Rando). Many people will remember her from the ‘Deja Vu’ restaurant which she good-naturedly managed and from where she ran the much appreciated take-away momo service.
At the end of the day of her passing, the Tibetan Pavilion organised a pooja night for her, with prayers, chanting and love. On 28th her body arrived in the Auroville Health Centre’s Farewell room where it remained till noon next day, accompanied by the chanting of a Tibetan monk.
The cremation took place at Adventure'’s Farewell grounds in the afternoon of Friday 29th, and also here chanted prayers of her ancient homeland filled the air. Tenzin’s ashes were scattered in the Bay of Bengal by young Rando the morning after.
Our love goes out to this brave young woman, and to her sons Rando and Sansone, and close friends.
Tashe Delek, dear Tenzin.
