Remembering Sergei Olegovitch Prokofieff

Today, 16 January 2015 would have been the 61stbirthday of Sergei Olegovitch Prokofieff – (16 January 1954 – 26 July 2014)

Born in Moscow, (grandson of the famous Russian composer) he studied fine arts and painting at the Moscow School of Art.

He encountered anthroposophy in his youth, and soon made the decision to devote his life to it.

He wrote his first book, Rudolf Steiner and the Founding of the New Mysteries while living in Soviet Russia; first published in German in 1982,  & then translated into English in 1986. After the fall of communism, he was co-founder of the Anthroposophical Society in Russia,

and at Easter 2001 he became a member of the Executive Council of the General Anthroposophical Society in Dornach, Switzerland.

Sergei O. Prokofieff was a prolific author, whose work focused on developing a deepened understanding for the Christian path of esoteric knowledge based on the foundation of Rudolf Steiner’s spiritual-scientific research. More than 30 of his books have been translated into English.

Sergei Prokofieff passed away in Dornach, Switzerland on 26 July 2014.

Rest in Peace dear warrior for Michael. You work with us now from the spiritual world.

 

Verse for our beloved dead

By Rudolf Steiner

May my heart-love reach to soul-love.

May my love’s warmth shine to spirit-light.

Thus, I draw near to you.

Thinking spiritual thoughts WITH you,

Feeling cosmic love IN you,

Willing in spirit THROUGH you –

Weaving with you

One in experience.
