Vaklush Tolev (Vaklush Tolev Zapryanov, Bulgarian: Ваклуш Толев Запрянов), also known as Vaklush, The Teacher of Wisdom, is a theologist by education, a public figure, a university lecturer and an author of works of broad religious, philosophical, cultural and historical thematics.[1] Some of his writing includes History and Theory of the Religions (in three volumes), The Spiritual Gifts of Bulgaria (in two volumes), The Seven Rays of the Evolution, Uncovenanted Testament, etc., as well as the author's Nur journal.[2]
His original vision, historical analysis and interpretation have merged into a new teaching, which he has called "Way of Wisdom".[1] The Way of Wisdom Society Association was formed inspired by Tolev's teaching with the mission to share his ideas about the culture of wisdom and to introduce a bigger picture in the understanding of the fundamental principles of the spiritual and cultural evolution of the mankind.[3]Way of Wisdom Society Association
Biography
Vaklush Tolev was born in Bulgaria on 7 January 1923 (Christmas Eve old style), in the village of Popovitsa, Plovdiv.[4] He is from a wealthy and respected family - his grandfather, Zapryan, was mayor of Popovitsa, and his father, Tolyo, was well known for his generosity and nobility. His mother, Vasilka, was also from an affluent family, a woman with leadership skills, intuition and imagination, according to Tolev.[5]
The etymology of the name Vaklush points towards the Latin name Bacchus - the ancient Greek god or Thracian and Roman god Dionysius - and means "spiritual power".[6]
Because of his strong desire to learn, Vaklush started school earlier than the minimum age requirement, initially as a listener, and later as a regular student with an official approval by the Ministry of Education. He realized quite fast that schools did not teach what he was inspired by. The two things that triggered in him true admiration and tears of joy were "that great mystery to learn that a goddess can be born from the head, not from the womb - the goddess of wisdom", and that great mystery "to read that someone who has been created can dare to steal the apple of knowledge in the face of the Creator", as Vaklush commented.[7]
He dies on 27 November 2013 in Sofia.
