Only my body is with you. Have you seen me? Do you know me? My life manifests in a Higher Dimension.” Beinsa Duno mid the doubts, despair, conflicts, and chaos of our times, the presence of a Great Soul brings Light, dispelling the darkness. The spiritual Teacher ABeinsa Duno gave knowledge of the coming of a New Culture based upon three principles: Love that brings Life, Wisdom that brings Light, and Truth that brings Freedom. Beinsa Duno with a secular name of Petar Konstantinov Danov1 was born in the village of Nikolaevka in the Varna district of Bulgaria on July 11, 18642, fourteen years before Bulgaria’s liberation from the Ottoman Empire. Danov’s father was active in the movement for national revival and spiritual freedom. He was an en- lightened priest who was the first to read the Gospel in Bulgarian instead of Greek, as was the rule at that time. Petar Danov obtained his secondary education in Bulgaria and his higher educa- tion in Theology and Medicine in the United States. He returned to his own country after an absence of seven years and engaged in systematic studies of the phrenology of Bulgarian people. It was to them that he presented the Divine Teaching of Love. In 1900 the Master3 summoned his first three disciples: Penyo Kirov, Todor Stoimenov, and Georgi Mirkovich, M.D., to a meeting in Varna in July. It was the First Gathering of the Brotherhood of Light, which he called: meeting of the Chain. After moving to Sofia in 1906, he began delivering talks, sharing the Teaching. When Beinsa Duno gave these talks, he lived in one of the poor outlying quarters of Sofia. He had a basement for a dining room and a small room above it where he used to speak sitting at a simple table. The room was full when he spoke, and the window was open so that the people filling the front yard could hear him as well. They were there, listening even when it snowed. One woman who was in attendance stood enraptured in his words, and when the lecture was over, she could not lift her feet from the ground, for the heels of her shoes had frozen. At that time, one of Beinsa Duno‘s devoted disciples described his outward ap- pearance as follows: “A man of average stature, about fifty years of age, with slightly graying hair, gentle eyes, composed, quiet, and with a profound expression on his face. His calm was conveyed to me. He seemed to emanate some unearthly purity. 1. The names of the Master are given according to the currently used European ISO 9 system for transliteration of the Cyrillic characters into Latin ones.
