Bomi Homawalla

Founder of Service Farm

Our dear friend and old Aurovilian, Bomi Homawalla, passed away peacefully at the age of 86, in Baroda, Gujarat, in the morning of 23rd of May.

About

Bomi, Perin and their son Michael lived in Promesse in the seventies (1970-76) and it was Bomi who started the Service Farm (next to Aurobrindavan). He was known for his sharp wit and brilliant mind and played an important role in the struggle with Sri Aurobindo Society at the time.

His intrinsic knowledge of Zoroastrian cosmology combined with Sri Aurobindo's spiritual psychology was a unique combination that enamoured him to several western Aurovilians in those early years. He came back a number of times to visit and will be sorely missed by his remaining friends in Auroville.

His condition had become apparent just a few weeks prior; he had been conscious throughout the process, and appeared quietly ready and prepared.
