Biography
Armenian/Rusian Sufi and brilliant practitioner of the Sufi faith, born to a Greek father (Ἰωάνης Γεωργιάδης) and Armenian mother in Alexandropol (now Gyumri, Armenia), then part of the Russian Empire. He became a guru who traveled the far and near East before establishing a center in France. His closest student, P.D. Ouspensky, born 4 March 1878 (OS), wrote extensively of his teachings. His book In search of the miraculous is availble online. Gurdjeff's book Meetings with Remarkable Men includes his biography, and a film with the same title by Peter Brook (born 21 March 1925) is based on it.
He died on 29 October 1949.
