Vijaya Dharma Suri
"A poor man's son, he grew to be at Great Teacher. He studied in no school, and received no university degrees; but he was so learned that on him the Hindu Panditas of Benares conferred the title of Acbärya. As a boy, he mixed with men of no character, he learnt to gamble; but this gambler became a saint! He lost much in gambling; one day, this Mulachanda ( that was his original name ) reflected on the vanity of the world; he repented; that day's gambling became for him a door for the coming in of God's grace. He wept bitter tears; he resolved to leave his town and go in search of a Guru; he found one; studied the Shastras; he became a scholar, a sage, a saint. His life's story sends to us a message of hope.”
