A DEDICATED LIFE – FAREWELL TO MAHALINGAM
On February 3rd, our dear friend and brother, oldest Aurovilian Thiru Mahalingam Sangukrishna, left his body in peace at the age of 103. Indian Independence fighter, spiritual seeker, Ashramite, long-time Aurovilian, Tamil teacher at Transition School, translator of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother’s works, his life was rich and well-lived. His uniquely humble presence and old-school devotion added a special quality to Auroville’s communal life. The City of Dawn most respectfully salutes him, and will greatly miss him. With gratitude for his presence and example, we share the article we previously published for Mahalingam’s 100th birthday.
