Peter Deunov, (also know as Beinsa Douno) the man whom everyone called "The Master", was born in a religious family of Bulgaria in 1864. His father was a teacher and orthodox priest. Feeling, even from his early youth, the desire to consecrate his life to God and renouncing the world, he had decided to become a monk at Mount Athos and set out on his journey towards the monastery.

En route, his boat sank in a storm. So he made his way to the town of Salomique and went to the Church of St. Dimitri to thank heaven for letting him escape from the perils of the voyage. It was there that he met an old priest who, during the course of a mysterious encounter, persuaded him not to become a monk and told him that God expected other things from him. Shaken, he accepted this advice, turned around, and became actively involved in helping the people of his country.

During his childhood, little Peter was lively, sensitive, attentive, and helpful towards everyone. He did not attract much attention, but was rather solitary and meditative, and liked to walk alone out in nature in order to contemplate its beauty and to decipher, even then, its hidden wisdom and mysterious language.

Very early, he manifested a great love for music and played the violin. Later, he would compose more than a hundred mystic and esoteric songs and melodies.

After completing his studies, he chose a position as a schoolteacher in a small, poor village, and often played the violin in front of his admiring pupils. In 1888, at the age of 24, he left for America, to study medicine and theology.

He became a center of attraction among the other students, because of his gifts as an orator and his ability to talk about the hidden wisdom of nature—wisdom which he drew from the very source of the Spirit.

"Observe," he said, "the star-filled sky, and perceive the harmony and the wisdom that it contains, and the advanced reasoning that is hidden within it. We can discover the same thing in the flowers and the torrents all around us. Haven't you ever thought about that? Who was it that created this beauty, and why?".

His fellow students became attached to him; and this was when he received the revelation of the task that he was meant to accomplish on earth. He decided to help and to guide humanity into the light of the Spirit and of the love that he carried within himself.

In 1895, he went back to Bulgaria. For 5 years, he lived a life of meditation, of deep communion with nature during excursions into the mountains, of contemplation, and of prayer.

In 1901, after publishing the book "The Testament of Colors", he began to travel throughout Bulgaria to expose his teachings in impromptu lectures.

ln 1922, he took another step forward and founded, in Sofia, his lnitiatic School of YZGREVA--The Rising of the Sun--which would function without interruption until his departure for the other world in 1944. During the course of meetings and conferences in the mountains, he gave more than 7,000 improvised lectures on all subjects.

The Foundation of his teaching is the original Christianity, which he re-established in its purity.

It is impossible to summarize the countless activities of this Master, who was a great saint and, surely, one of the greatest spiritual Masters of the West in the 20th century.
