Early Days...
Once upon a time in
ancient Mesopotamia there
was born a child who was to become a teacher for many. At a young age he would
wander through the busy marketplace of Babylon and speak to the people there but his
favourite pastime was in observing people and what they said and did. His name
was Mithra.
His parents would look for him and often found him sitting at the side of the well in the middle of the busy marketplace engaged in lively discussions with beggars and at other times, he could be found in the temples talking about Truth to the priests.

The Reasons Why....
Mithra saw how the poor were despised by the
rich and he saw how the rich ran roughshod over everyone else. He pondered on
this for many hours wondering how such things could come about. And he was told
within that the paths of these people, whether young or old, rich or poor, had
been chosen by them, themselves. It was a way to clear the karma from other
lifetimes, cause and effect which was carefully recorded in the annals of
time, the Akashic Records.
Much to Ponder Over...
Growing up in this
land where kings ruled with complete power over the life and death of their
subjects, where great wealth was amassed by few and poverty known by many gave
him much to think about.
Mithra saw the beautiful temples and palaces, the hanging gardens and over all the glorious light shining down from the great Sun that appeared in the sky every day and he wondered at that. Who made the Sun, who made the Moon with its silvery light and most of all who created the earth? All these questions ran through his mind like mice scurrying through a maze.

His Search for Self ...
Mithra was determined to find answers and he started on a search
through the length and breadth of Mesopotamia, the ancient kingdom of the Sumerians, who were replaced in
turn by the Assyrians and the
His Mission...
As Mithra grew older, people started coming to
him for advice on many subjects for he became known as a travelling teacher and
was able to perform miracles. He travelled with a group of disciples who had
given up their earthly belongings in order to be with this great master.
Mithra's teachings were about Truth and the immortality of the Soul and he shared with his disciples ancient spiritual wisdoms that had come down through time.
And so it was and is...
