Ecovillage Bhrugu Aranya in Poland: Continuing the Tradition of Agnihotra Fire
Bhrugu Aranya is an ecovillage in southern Poland near the Tatra Mountains. The story began there more than 20 years ago when a Polish-American couple found land and an old log cabin, surrounded by a magical apple orchard. Their ecological/educational Foundation purchased the property. Today, a community of about 15 members of all ages carry on the Ayurvedic tradition of Agnihotra.
Each day, at sunrise and sunset, Bhrugu Aranya residents revive the traditional Vedic Fire, Agnhotra. This scientific process promotes healthy soil and atmosphere, as well as the ambiance of the ecovillage.
Creativity, Music, Self-development, Sound therapy, Art therapy and Homa Organic Farming, in addition to sustainability are mainstays.
The community grows much of the food it consumes in its vegetarian diet.
They are now focused on building the Centre of Light to be able to better serve the increasing number of people wishing to come and learn. The eco-centre is being built mainly with clay, straw and wood. It will provide a much needed venue where teachers, healers, artists, seekers and pioneers can share their gifts for humanity and for our planet. A place where people receive support for their personal transformation, at a time of great global transformation.
