Alla fine del mese di Maggio, per due notti consecutive mi apparve il Maestro Pier Franco Marcenaro. È il Maestro che si manifesta con un bagliore accecante e poi piano piano l’immagine diviene sempre più nitida e chiara: è Lui, il suo volto, i suoi occhi radiosi e celestiali e comunica con me sorridendo.

At the end of the month of May, for two consecutive nights Master Pier Franco Marcenaro appeared to me.

Il Terzo giorno, in riva al mare, insieme ai miei due bimbi. Mi appare poco lontano da me… con una veste di luce radiosa bianca. Poi distinguo il suo aspetto di uomo, vestito con una lunga tunica bianca, da dove si vedevano solo le sue mani rosee come quelle di un bambino e i suoi piedi. E camminava sull’acqua del mare, venendo verso di me sorridendo e tutto il suo Essere era immerso in una immensa armonia e pace.<br><br>

The third day, on the beach, together with my two children, He appears not far from me… with clothes of a radiant white light. Then I discern his aspect as a man all dressed in white with a long white tunic, showing only his pink hands like those of a child and his feet. And He walked on the water of the sea, coming toward me smiling and his whole Being was immersed in immense harmony and peace.<br><br>

Tre mesi prima che il Maestro Pier Franco Marcenaro venisse a Santa Marta (Colombia) nel 2007, ho avuto un’esperienza particolare mentre stavo meditando.

Three months before Master Pier Franco Marcenaro came to Santa Marta, Colombia, in 2007, I had a particular experience while I was meditating.
Mi sono vista in un luogo dove tutta l’umanità correva verso lo stesso punto. C’erano aerei che inviavano luci colorate nello spazio che sembravano fuochi d’artificio, e per terra c’erano ugualmente molte luci meravigliose di differenti colori, le quali conducevano ad un’unica meta.<br>

<br>I saw myself in a place where all humanity was running toward the same point. There were airplanes that sent colored lights into space that seemed like fireworks, and on the ground there were just as many marvelous multi-colored lights, that led all to one place.
Ho chiesto a un signore: “Perché corrono tutti verso quel luogo?” Mi ha risposto che era arrivato un Maestro. Allora anch’io sono andata verso il luogo dove si dirigevano tutti, all’incontro col Maestro, che ho potuto così vedere.<br>
+
<br>I asked a man: “Why is everyone running toward that place?” He answered that a Master had arrived, and so I too went toward the place where everyone was heading, to meet the Master, so I could see Him.
Poi un giorno, mentre ero a Santa Marta, ho visto dei cartelloni pubblicitari con la foto del Maestro che avevo visto in meditazione, i quali informavano di una sua prossima Conferenza. Allora ho chiamato un’amica e le ho detto che il Maestro della mia esperienza in meditazione era arrivato a Santa Marta. <br>

<br>Then one day, when I was in Santa Marta, I saw some poster ads with the photo of the Master Pier Franco Marcenaro which informed about his next conference. So I called a friend and told her that the Master from my experience had arrived in Santa Marta.

Seguii perciò il Corso previsto dopo la Conferenza e, quando il Maestro Pier Franco Marcenaro venne per la prima volta a tenere una lezione per il Corso di iniziazione alla meditazione, ebbi l’opportunità di avvicinarlo e gli rivolsi questa domanda: “Come ha fatto Lei a riconoscere il Suo Maestro?” Mi rispose: “Sono stato chiamato. Il mio Maestro mi ha scelto.” In quell’attimo mi resi conto che mi era accaduta la stessa cosa: “Non voi avete scelto me, ma io ho scelto voi, e vi ho costituito perché andiate e portiate frutto e il vostro frutto rimanga.” (Giovanni 15,16) Si trattava quindi di un appuntamento ineluttabile.

Revision as of 15:32, 17 October 2021

Pier Franco Marcenaro was born in Aulla, a town in Lunigiana in the Province of Massa-Carrara. His mother, Wanda Rolla, was an elementary school teacher; his father, Costanzo, was an instructor of the submarine unit in the dockyards of La Spezia. Both parents were born in La Spezia in 1911.
He is a Master of Spirituality and Life, with thousands of disciples in every part of the world,[1] and a spiritual and humanist writer translated into 15 languages.[2]
After his career in which he reached the rank of director of a major international company, he devoted himself completely to the needs of those who are sincerely seeking their own spirit and God.[3]
He is the spiritual heir of Sant Kirpal Singh (1894-1974), today considered one of the greatest Masters of Spirituality of all times, longstanding President of the “World Brotherhood of Religions” comprising representatives of all the major religions of the world.

Maestro Pier Franco

Biography

From Lunigiana to Milan

Born in Aulla, Lunigiana, Pier Franco Marcenaro when very young moved to Milan, where in the sixties he met personalities of considerable cultural importance, such as writer and essayist Fernanda Pivano, publisher Inge Feltrinelli, Nobel Prize winner Eugenio Montale, critics Carlo Bo and Roberto Rebora, North American pacifist writers Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac…[4]
At that time he was living just a few steps away from Piazza Duomo and the Teatro alla Scala, and he worked in the nearby headquarters of Banca Popolare di Milano.

Traveling to the East

An enthusiastic scholar of human and spiritual issues, he periodically returned to Lunigiana, where he dedicated himself to meditation on a hill among the woods. One day his thirst for research found an initial direct response when, while seated in meditation in a clearing in the middle of a thick pine forest, a great light flooded all the surrounding environment illuminating the sky and the forest around him and elevating him to a state of consciousness of supreme bliss, beyond time and space. [5]
That same year, in September 1967, he embarked on a long quest, journeying through Greece, Turkey, Iran and Pakistan, and finally arriving in India after traveling over land for almost four months. In this way he deepened his spiritual knowledge, meeting mystics and monks of Orthodox monasteries, Sufis of Islam, and Yogis from the many disciplines of India.[6]

Milan, 6 September 1972: Pier Franco translating Master Sant Kirpal Singh's Talk during his Conference at the Yoga Institute

Initiation into the spiritual Way

Rome Airport, December 1972: with Master Sant Kirpal Singh during his Third Tour in the West

In January 1968, in New Delhi, he met Sant Kirpal Singh, the greatest Master of Spirituality and life then living, who also served as President of the “World Brotherhood of Religions”, comprising all the major religions of the world. He initiated him into the most elevated spiritual discipline, meditation on the heavenly Light and Harmony, also known today as “Universal Meditation”. So strong was the impact of this new experience that the young man remained in meditation sitting on a mat for three consecutive days and nights, enraptured in a state of divine ecstasy (Samadhi).[7][8]
He then followed Master for five months on his teaching journeys through North India to the foothills of the Himalayas,[9] personally receiving his spiritual heritage.[10]

Life as a Disciple

Manager at European level

Inspired by his Master, on returning to Italy in 1968, he set himself the difficult goal, for the first time in history, of integrating the elevated Spirituality of the East with the practical activity of the West, through work combined with meditation.[11]
Having become, already at the age of 30, a top-level executive in industry, he held leading positions in major international companies, becoming the Financial Director of one of the most prestigious brands in the world (today with 15,000 employees worldwide).[12] He was a manager capable of dictating guidelines to the European banking system.[13] At the same time he never neglected the practice and teaching of Meditation.

New Delhi, 1974: Pier Franco leading the Italian Delegation to the “First World Conference for the Unity of Man” organized by Sant Kirpal Singh

Family life

In December 1969 he married Anna Rita Federigi, with whom he had a daughter, Tiziana, born on 10 January 1971.[14]

Representative and heir of Master Kirpal Singh

In 1968 he became the Representative of Master Kirpal Singh for Italy, and he imparted initiation into the practice of meditation in his name. He operated in this role until 1974[15][16][17].
Then, after the passing of the Great Master (21 August 1974), his spiritual Mission continued.[18][19]

In the role of Master

Master of Spirituality and of life

Master Pier Franco with some Representatives and Assistants of the School of Spirituality in Italy

At the passing of his Master, at the age of 33, he began his own spiritual Mission by imparting the teachings and instructions for the practice of Universal Meditation through the School of Spirituality.
Since then, Master has regularly undertaken journeys for spreading Spirituality both in Italy and in other parts of the world, such as the European Union and Eastern Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa,[20] the result of which is the continuous increase in the number of disciples on a planetary scale.[21]

School of Spirituality and Universal Meditation

In 1974, Master Pier Franco founded the School of Spirituality, with the elevated objective of spreading, among sincere spiritual seekers in Italy and abroad, the teachings that are at the base of the major philosophies and religions of the world, and the practice of the most ancient and elevated form of meditation: Universal Meditation. [22]

Conference in the crowded Auditorium of Ca’ Foscari University in Venice, 14 April 2013

Known by different names through time and place (“Way of the Masters”, “Science of the Soul”, “Way of Spirituality”, “Surat Shabd Yoga”...), it consists in conscious inner contact with the divine Light and Harmony, through the experience imparted by a competent Master. [23]
The School of Spirituality periodically organizes free preparatory courses for the practice of Universal Meditation under the direct inspiration and supervision of Master Pier Franco, who in due course initiates into the spiritual Way all those aspirants who make a sincere request and are found suitable. [24]
The School of Spirituality is now present in more than 60 Italian cities and in 25 different countries, with thousands of disciples all over the world.
The monthly Meetings at the School Headquarters, which have been held since May 1999 in an ancient monastery in the Tuscan hills where Angelo Roncalli, Pope John XXIII, stayed, are always fully booked, with people, coming from Italy and from every part of the world, in search of peace and knowledge of the deepest and most divine part of themselves. There the ancient motto “Ora et labora” is implemented by means of meditation combined with service.[25][26]

Apparitions of the Master

A view of the Versilia sea

At the end of the month of May, for two consecutive nights Master Pier Franco Marcenaro appeared to me. It is the Master who manifests with a blinding flash and then very slowly the image becomes more and more clear and in focus: it is Him, his face, his radiant celestial eyes and He communicates with me smiling. The second night, just like the first…
The third day, on the beach, together with my two children, He appears not far from me… with clothes of a radiant white light. Then I discern his aspect as a man all dressed in white with a long white tunic, showing only his pink hands like those of a child and his feet.

How I met my Master... three months before meeting him
By Rosabel Ascanio Perez, Santa Marta, Colombia

One of the crowded lectures given in Colombia by Maestro Pier Franco in 2007

Three months before Master Pier Franco Marcenaro came to Santa Marta, Colombia, in 2007, I had a particular experience while I was meditating.
I saw myself in a place where all humanity was running toward the same point. There were airplanes that sent colored lights into space that seemed like fireworks, and on the ground there were just as many marvelous multi-colored lights, that led all to one place.
I asked a man: “Why is everyone running toward that place?” He answered that a Master had arrived, and so I too went toward the place where everyone was heading, to meet the Master, so I could see Him.
Then one day, when I was in Santa Marta, I saw some poster ads with the photo of the Master Pier Franco Marcenaro which informed about his next conference. So I called a friend and told her that the Master from my experience had arrived in Santa Marta.
From that moment on, my friend and I have been meditating with the Master Pier Franco Marcenaro.

How the Master appeared to me twenty years earlier

Lecture by Maestro Pier Franco in Parma, 2004

In October 2004 I happened to notice a poster inviting all those interested to a conference on “The Experience of the Spirit in Our Time”. Being interested and having the time, I went to the place indicated. When the speaker, Master Pier Franco Marcenaro, arrived on the stage, I saw him and I immediately recognized that he was the unknown Gentleman who had appeared in my spiritual vision twenty years earlier.

He has extensively presented the advantages of Universal Meditation, being the guest of prestigious Auditoriums and Universities both in Italy and abroad.[27]
He chaired three editions of the “World Conference for the Peace and Welfare of Peoples” in 1999, 2002 and 2005, held under the auspices of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs respectively,[28] of the European Commission[29] and of the United Nations Organization (U.N.).[30]

The President of the Republic of Italy expresses deep appreciation for the second World Conference for the Peace and Welfare of Peoples. The future of the planet, the global balance of the new century, and peace among peoples largely depend on the international community's ability to safeguard the environment, establish a dialog between cultures and religions, and win the fight against poverty, ensuring balanced growth, throughout the world, in accordance with the principles of human rights.
With this in mind, the Head of State sends the organizers, distinguished speakers and attendees friendly greetings and wishes them every success in their work.


Since the discipline of Universal Meditation taught by Master Pier Franco has a scientific basis, in October 2016 he successfully presented its benefits to the “National Research Council” (CNR) in Pisa with the “Science and Meditation” Talk.[37][38][39]

Master Pier Franco autographs his book “The School of Spirituality” at the request of a disciple

On the occasion of the “March for the Protection of Animals and the Environment” on 15 April 2001, he sent a “Guide, or 10-Point Program” to the Mayors of the major Italian cities and to the Ministers of the major foreign countries to be implemented on a global scale as recognition of animal rights and the imperative need to respect the environment, with the request to include this topic as a subject of study in all schools.[48] This was very much in advance of the many world movements that would follow.
