Copiii Soarelui (Children of the Sun) is a sect from Romania founded by Ardelean Farcaş (Adi de la Brad). Ardelean Farcaş, a former miner with high school education, founded in 1997 the "Vipassana Meditation Center" from Dumbrava de Sus (Ribiţa commune), Hunedoara county, led by his association Copiii Soarelui.[1]
He quickly attracted a lot of followers, confessing that he has a healing breathing technique and that he can purify those who cross the threshold of his estate in the mountains.[2]
He claimed to have in his body a bacteria discovered by the Russians in the glaciers of Siberia, a bacteria of longevity or immortality.[3]
The man was investigated for rape, blackmail, preventing access to compulsory general education for children from the community and exercising a profession without the right. The community attracted about 1000 Romanians and foreigners every year, who came for a ten-day Vipassana meditation course.[4]
The rules of the course were strict: the students meditated for about ten hours a day, in one-hour sessions; during this time they were standing still, with their backs straight. During the ten days of the class they did not speak at all, except in the evenings when they could ask the instructor questions about the meditation. They had no access to telephone, book, notebook, radio or television.[3]
Some of those who went to the meditation classes decided to stay in the Children of the Sun community to live in the middle of nature, grow their own food, find themselves and support others to do the same.[5]
The Children of the Sun manage themselves according to strict rules.The members of the association live from what the earth produces.[6]
They claim to practice plasma farming and thus produce giant vegetables grown with electromagnetic fertilizers and gold monoatoms.[7]
All members of the community, including children, wear the "Plasma Crown", a plastic circle filled with liquid. It promises to purify the mind and protect from social stress, negative thoughts from those around you and low frequency vibrations.[3]
"Children of the Sun" claim that only with the help of meditation and natural remedies, any disease can be cured.[6]
Whether it's cancer or COVID-19, all the "treatments" recommended are done in the makeshift laboratory in the community, by people without scientific training: "mini ark", "plasma clay", "plasma vial", "plasma crown ”, “plasma sprayer”, “negative ion rings” or “immunity plasma vial”.[3]
Of all the objects invented here, the one attributed with the most effective "healing" properties is the Ark, whose name is borrowed from the religious repertoire. They claim that the ark energizes people, makes them wiser and develops their focus and positive spirit. In addition, it also helps animals, trees, plants, soil and water and protects them "against solar, nuclear and 5G radiation".[3]
In January 2021, 70 people lived permanently at the "Children of the Sun" sect, under the guidance of Ardelean Fărcaș.[8]
Former members accuse Adi de la Brad of sexual abuse, emotional abuse, exploitation through work, isolation from their own families, coercion not to go to the doctor, to put the children in his name and not send them to school.[5]
The leader told people when they were allowed to have sex or eat, advised them to turn to items and potions created in a makeshift lab instead of going to the doctor, and included conspiracy theories in meditation.[5]
Ardelean Fărcaș, 59 years old, died on 7 July 2022, at the Deva County Emergency Hospital where he had been hospitalized with several ailments.[9]
