Hello! Who are you, and which brand do you run?
My name is Vinita Baravkar, founder of Bhumi Organic Cotton. Bhumi means Mother Earth in Sanskrit.
At Bhumi we provide GOTS certified organic cotton and linen products across Bedding, Bath, Basics, Sleepwear and Apparel.
What’s the inspiration behind the name Bhumi?
I wanted to choose a name that was deeply rooted in the ancient and the old ways of the world. Sanskrit is one of the oldest languages in the world and in our current times I feel we have forgotten the ways that were sacred and in union with the Earth.
The derivative ‘Bhum’ is found in many other languages to have the same or similar meaning and as we are all interconnected in this world this makes the name even more important of a shared connection to our Earth.
The earth teaches us to be human, to love, to give, to thrive, to survive….
