Shri Shirdi Sainath All we know for sure about Shri Shirdi Sainath's life is that he reached the village of Shirdi (in Maharastra) in the 1859. He spent all his life in Shirdi, radiating his vibrations of Love and preparing the place that will become the birthplace of Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi. The whole life of Shri Shirdi Sainath was a continuous teaching. At first, the people of Shirdi thought he was a mad person, who lived alone and slept on the ground. Then he settled in an abandoned mosque, where he kept a fire and oil lamp constantly alight. One day, he asked some villagers for oil, but a gang of youngsters taunted him and denied him the oil. So he very calmly went back home, with the mocking youngsters following him, and put some water in the lamps and lit them. The people who saw this miracle realized he was a holy person. Love, compassion and tremendous patience were the means that helped him to conquer people's hearts. He was a jovial character and loved talking and...

  Shri Guru Nanak Guru Nanak lived in a time when moral degradation, anarchy and religious fanaticism had brought India towards a dark period of unrighteousness and instability.   But thanks to the purity of his life and to his great compassion, Guru Nanak could join his communities Indus and Muslims, who he welcomed by simply calling them Sikh (i.e. true seeker). Guru Nanak was born in 1469 AD in Lahore, Pakistan, and voiced an interest in divine subjects at an early age. Nevertheless his father Mehta Kalu tried to turn Nanak's mind towards worldly matters. For example, once he told his son to work on their land, but Nanak did not pay any attention to this work and instead meditated in the fields.   As Mehta Kalu rebuked him for his idleness, Guru Nanak replied,  «I am not idle I am busy in guarding my own fields. »  Kalu asked him, «Where are your fields?»  Guru Nanak replied, «My body is a field. My mind is the ploughman. Righteousness is the cultivat...

Shri Prophet Muhammad Muhammad was born in 570 in the Arabian city of Mecca. His birth was marked by exceptional events such as an immense bright light shining from East to West. He belonged to the Banu Hashim, one of the prominent families of Mecca, although they were not prosperous during Muhammad’s early life. In Arabic Muhammad means ‘he who is greatly praised’. Muhammad had the chance to get in touch with the Harif, a monotheist people, who do not subscribe to any revealed religion. During business trips to Syria and Yemen with his uncle, Muhammad met several Jewish and Christian tribes. These journeys gave Muhammad the opportunity to widen his knowledge of religious and social fields. Khadìja, fascinated by the high spiritual value of Muhammad, married him when Muhammad was 25. They were happily married for 25 years and had 6 children, one of them, Fatima, was an incarnation of Gruha Laxmi. When her husband received his first revelation from the Archangel Gabriel, Khadija wa...

Shri Socrates  Socrates was born in Athens in 469 BC and died 70 years later.  He came from a prosperous family which allowed him to study and dedicate almost all his life to philosophy.   Furthermore, he was leading a frugal life, as he was not attracted by luxury and comforts.   Because he did not feel the need for riches he gave free lectures to his students.   He served in the Athenian arm and fought in two battles.   He married Xanthippe when he was 50 and they had three sons. At that time, Athens was meeting a period of big expansion and enrichment. This condition allowed the Athenians to develop their trades and expand their cultural horizons (architecture, art, philosophy, etc). We can have a glance, in our imagination, and see all these old philosphers walking slowly in the main square of the town (called agorà), while discussing various subjects, and being followed by young students thirsty of knowledge. But at the same time, the ambitio...
