Long ago, in the remote desert regions of northern India, there lived a sage. He was very simple in nature and unpretentious in demeanor, yet he was recognized as a true embodiment of God. He was called Śrī Dīp Nārāyaṇ Mahāprabhujī. His name means "great light," and indeed, this saintly soul was a guiding light to those seeking the kingdom of God. He was recognized as a great sage from birth, for the moment he was born, flowers fell from the sky and oil lamps in the village lit of their own accord. Everyone knew these to be the prophetic signs that a great being had incarnated in this world. And it was so. His long life of 135 years was filled with many miraculous events. The simplicity of Mahāprabhujī’s lifestyle in the desert seemed to magnify his profound spiritual wisdom, which drew thousands of people to hear his words. They traveled miles on foot, on the back of a camel, or by ox cart, just to sit near him in his loving presence under the stars. When he spoke, he did so in melodious prose. Eventually, his words were written down by devoted followers, and these came to be known as the Golden Teachings.
