When we hear "spiritual master," we first think of the great spiritual figures of the East. However, there have always been significant mystics and masters in the West as well. Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov (1900–1986) was born in Bulgaria and lived in France from the age of 37. He is fully in the tradition of the great spiritual teachers, but something is new: he combines the wisdom of the East and West into a contemporary philosophy that is clear, logical, and applicable for the modern person. Throughout his life, he had only one goal: to be of service to humanity. In his over 5,000 lectures, which cover all areas of life, he managed to explain profound truths and mysteries in astonishingly simple terms. More than 5 million books have already been sold worldwide, translated into 32 languages. This biography is a fascinating account of his spiritual journey and is aimed at all those who feel inspired by the lives and thoughts of remarkable individuals. It provides insights into his teachings, which are an invaluable source for inner and outer peace.
