from Mauna:

This is to inform the community that Nirodbaran quietly slipped into other
regions this evening, July 17th, at 7.50 pm, at the age of 102.
 
Dr. Nirodbaran, a real friend and supporter of Auroville, has been living
some 70 years in the Ashram, as personal physician of Sri Aurobindo, as well
as his scribe and correspondent, and as poet in his own right. Through his
written work he was, and is, for many a door into Sri Aurobindo's worlds..,
- a door through which he now may enter to join THEM to whom he dedicated
his entire life..
 
OM ~
 
A last homage can be paid to this dear friend and remarkable being during
the entire day tomorrow, Wednesday 18th, when his body will lay in state in
his premises in the Ashram's main compound.
 
Farewell, dear Nirod'da, we will always remember you, with deep gratitude
and love.
