Manav Dayal Dr. Ishwar Chandra Sharma was a saint from Manavta Mandir Hoshiarpur, Punjab, India. Baba Faqir Chand, a sant of the Sant Mat tradition, appointed him as a successor through his will dated 20 April 1980. Sharma was a philosopher by profession. He held various academic positions at the University of California (visiting professor), University of Udaipur (Chairman, Department of Philosophy), Christopher Newport College, Virginia (visiting professor), Cleveland State University, Ohio (adjunct professor), Dyke College, Cleveland and Old Dominion University, Virginia. He also served as the president of the Indian Philosophical Congress for some time. Sharma first met his guru, Baba Faqir Chand, when Faqir was delivering a sermon in New Delhi. Sharma said that his meeting with Faqir was unusual because Faqir interrupted the sermon to shout Sharma's name, asking Sharma to join him on the stage. Sharma could not understand how this sant knew his name as they had never met or known about each other before this meeting. Later, Faqir told Sharma that he had been waiting for him. Faqir visited Sharma in the US on many occasions and nominated him to work in his place in presence or absence of Bhagat Munshi Ram, a co-successor, once he retired from teaching and returned to India. Sharma traveled worldwide to propagate the teachings of Faqir, Radha Soami Mat and Surat Shabd Yoga until his death in December 2000. == Books == * Ethical Philosophies of India * Cayce, Karma and Reincarnation 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Manav Dayal I.C.Sharma」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
