A Visit by Sri Joshi to the Paracelsus Centre
Nearly 3 weeks ago, August 7, Sri Joshi, head of the WTT Centre Sadguru Tapovana, Bengaluru, came together with his wife Shailaja for a short visit to the Paracelsus Centre of the WTT near Einsiedeln, Switzerland. I had often met them in India – he was often on tour in India with Master KPK, and Sadguru Tapovana is a group with several hundred members living around the centre there, doing substantial service activities. Sri Joshi and his wife were on a private journey to Europe and the US, and they were accompanied by a small group with members from England and Germany.
Mathilda, who coordinates the centre, and me came from near Berne to Einsiedeln to give them a warm welcome. Their arrival from Stuttgart was delayed, so we had time for preparing and for taking some photos of the surroundings.
It was a hearty encounter, starting with a short meditation and followed by a little picknick lunch prepared by ladies of the travel group. I spoke them how the centre came about through a visit and a vision of Master KPK in 1993 and about the history of the centre. Sri Joshi told me about their tour, always linked to traces of theosophical wisdom activities; their visits to London and Germany; that they had been in Paris on traces of Master Count Saint Germain and of the Master’s activities in the Americas.
Before the group left again, we had a little walk outside Einsiedeln with a fantastic view over the Sihl lake and to the surrounding mountains.
They went back to Stuttgart from where they flew to London the next day and from there later to family members in the US. And we returned to the Paracelsus Centre for evening meditation and later to Berne.

A comment from a friend:
Dear Ludger, we want to express our deepest gratitude to you and Mathilda for the warm welcome and the harmonious meeting we all held there. We could perceive in many ways the love with which everything is maintained and the energy we all experienced in the meditation was very tangible.
We all felt deeply touched by the sanctity of the place.
A special mention to the love and dedication put in the bio-fruits and chocolate beetles arrangement that was waiting for us just in front of the altar.
Thank you again to you two, for the nice walk we could share with you.
No doubts our visit to the Paracelsus’ birth house and our meeting with the two guardians of this temple was a highlight in this first visit of Sri Joshi Garu and his wife to Europe.
It was an experience we want to repeat in the future!
