Day 6 - Leo da Mirci

And Void - were the last words of Leo da Mirci before he went into a coma on December 10, 2005. After repeated requests from a lot of people who did not know who Leo da Mirci was, I tried getting more information on Leo da Mirci. Surprisingly, yesterday I received a call from Sophie Burne from England asking me about Leo da Mirci. Considering the gravity of the situation and the importance some people give to Leo da Mirci, I am publishing the details.

Leo da Mirci (pronounced Leo daa Mirchi and sometimes Leo daa Mirsi)

Leo da Mirci is one of the finest thinkers of the world. He was born in a small town in India on April 25, 1785. He is multifaceted and holds degrees and diplomas in almost every form of arts and science.

Leo da Mirci's lectures and books are still used as study material by the top B-schools in the world and his thoughts on psychology have got him a lot of followers. He is supposedly the finest of thinkers that India has ever produced. Even today his quotes are widely used by the the true intellects of the world.

Powers

Leo da Mirci is supposed to have got his powers when he was 21 years old. He was able to recognise it only when he attended the National Youth Congress meeting during March 1812. Since then, he had no looking back. He has been invited by almost every top institute in the world to give an inaugural address.

Life

Inspite of all this Leo da Mirci prefers a calm life in his birth town in India. He is modest and humble. People who know him love him a lot for his energetic and lively demeanor. The fact that he is still alive is by itself a miracle to a lot of people.

It was very difficult for me to hear that Leo da Mirci was admitted in Asclepius Hospitals, Cornigela for an unidentified disease in the hippocampus of the brain. It is ironical that the person who did a lot of research on hippocampus and its relation with Alzheimer’s disease, suffers from such a problem. He is in the state of Coma as the whole world is praying for him. Let us too pray for him for a minute.
