The Beginning
On an unusually warm April afternoon in 1968, Dõv walked into his family’s living room to find his mother in tears. Having seen his mother in pain many times, this ten year old boy was filled with concern and asked his mother what was so upsetting. With eyes overflowing onto a tear stained face, his mother pointed towards the TV set, which was showing a news special about the death of an American leader.
“That great man is dead”, she sobbed.
His mother’s words awoke a deep inquiry within Dõv. Who was this man? Why was he so great? In the moment of becoming aware of the greatness that was Dr. Martin Luther King, a seed was germinated within the heart of Dõv, a seed that would ultimately carry him from the urban ghetto where he grew up.
Carrying the inspiration of Dr. Martin Luther King, Dõv embarked on a search for self-growth and personal development.
This incredible journey spanned many continents and introduced him to many different teachers, including an Indian Master, a Catholic Bishop, and Kabalistic Rabbis.
The Fall and Rise of Dõv
One of Dõv's greatest periods of learning began in June 1990, when he reached for a rock while free-climbing at Brandywine Falls in British Columbia, Canada. The rock dislodged and, at that point, so did Dõv's life.
