Mouni Sadhu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mouni Sadhu (born Mieczyslaw Sudowski) (1 September 1898 - December 1971) was the mystical name of an occultist and devout mystic. The word "mouni" means "silent" and "sadhu" refers to a wandering holy man.
Sudowski was born in Warsaw on 1 September 1898 of mixed Polish and East German (Prussian) parentage. After World War II, he moved to France and changed his name to Michael Sadau. He died just before Christmas in 1971. Mouni was a Catholic and his funeral was at a Catholic church in Melbourne.
He changed his name to Mouni Sadhu after staying with Ramana Maharshi in 1949. Mouni Sadhu published at least 9 books between 1947 and 1967.
