Vijayamala
On Tuesday 26th May, 2020, Ms Vijayamala Ganapatarao, a long-term volunteer at New Creation’s Creche and Boarding School, passed away due to a heart attack at Jipmer at the age of 51.
Kind and Gentle
Mala came from the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in 2000 and later lived and worked in New Creation, co-running the Boarding School with Marie Babu ever since. Always smiling, she was a gentle, kind person who became a beloved member of the NC family. Her gift was art which she shared with countless children as well as at various Auroville events, exhibitions and marathons. She also taught New Creation’s children French, Hindi, painting, drawing, stitching and other artistic activities.
As her health became an issue. Mala spent more time doing her own craft, working from home, but would still assist and help the children as much as possible with their daily homework and art.
Mala is deeply missed by all New Creation’s family members, young and old.
Her remains were buried at Auroville’s burial grounds in the evening of May 26th.
