In memoriam:

Keywords: Passings, Promesse community, Service Farm and Sri Aurobindo Society (SAS)

Former Aurovilian Bomi Homawalla, passed away on May 23rd at the age of 86, in Baroda, Gujarat. Bomi, Perin and their son Michael lived in Promesse in the seventies (1970-76) and it was Bomi who started Service Farm (next to Aurobrindavan).

Bomi 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 deep knowledge of Zoroastrian cosmology combined with Sri Aurobindo’s spiritual psychology was a unique combination that enamoured him to several western Aurovilians in the beginning of Auroville.
