Twenty years on camera

Vasilev told BNR that the documentary uses footage from 1994-2022 and marks the centenary of Tolev’s birth. Some material had not previously been shown. The interview of 17 March 2023 explains how a personal archive became a finished film.

The ideas of Path of Wisdom

Radio Shumen describes Tolev’s view of evil as undeveloped good, an idea within his own teaching. Nur magazine provides access to his talks and texts, allowing readers to follow his terminology through a longer discussion.

Books, voice and memory

In 2024, Radio Blagoevgrad reported an album containing interview excerpts from 1989-2013. Written lectures, filmed encounters and followers’ memories offer different introductions to Tolev. Recollections by his followers are identified as their accounts.
