Dr. Murdo MacDonald-Bayne (1887–1955)

Born on June 21, 1887, in Kenmore, Scotland, Murdo MacDonald-Bayne was a renowned healer, lecturer, and author. From a young age, he exhibited profound spiritual sensitivity, experiencing visions and developing abilities that set him apart. During World War I, he served with distinction in the Highland Light Infantry, earning the Military Cross. A near-death experience during the Battle of the Somme deepened his spiritual convictions, leading him to a path of healing and teaching.

Throughout his life, Dr. MacDonald-Bayne traveled extensively, studying various spiritual traditions. His journeys took him to India and Tibet, where he spent time with revered Masters in the Himalayas. These experiences enriched his teachings and writings, leading to the establishment of the College of Universal Science and the Sanctuary of the Silent Healing Power in South Africa. His notable works include Beyond the Himalayas and its sequel, The Yoga of the Christ, which offer insights into his spiritual journeys and the wisdom he gained. He continued his healing and teaching mission until his passing in London in 1955.

Though, Yoga of the Christ, stands powerfully on its own, it is actually the continuation of another work—Beyond the Himalayas. For those who wish to explore the journey from the very beginning, you may find it here.
