As the Sun transits the fire sign of the archer, the Sagittarian energies are easily accessible to us. The lord of Sagittarius is Jupiter, the principle of the teacher. Jupiter stands for realignment, magnetisation, expansion of consciousness and fulfilment in life. The symbol of the cosmic Jupiter principle is the elephant-headed god Ganesha, who embodies the energy of wisdom.

Sagittarius rules the base centre, the seat of Kundalini. Jupiter provides the necessary direction and guidance in meditation. The goal is in the head centre, the highest centre. By using sacred sounds, we focus our energies and direct the arrow of our aligned willpower towards our goal so that the fire can shoot up from the base centre to the head centre and beyond.

Picture to the Month of Sagittarius

In Indian temples one finds depictions of beings with human bodies and the head of an animal. They embody various sublime aspects of wisdom that can only be revealed when there is a deeper understanding. See here about the Symbolism of the Horse.

The horse-headed god Hayagriva, an avatar of Vishnu, is a symbol of cosmic wisdom. It is said that Hayagriva returned the divine wisdom of the Vedas to the creator Brahma when the latter lost them due to arrogance. Humility is needed to attain and maintain wisdom.

The symbol of the horse’s head contains the hints to meditate on our head as the head of a white horse and to chant sacred sound formulas. HA is the sound of the Ajna centre, YA is the sound of the head centre – HAYA. By meditating on the light in the head and connecting the brow centre with the head centre with a radiant white glow, this meditation can expand our consciousness and reveal to us all science and wisdom from within. It is considered particularly auspicious to worship Hayagriva in this way each Thursday and in the month of Sagittarius.

To construct the image, I used a photo of a stone relief depicting a meditating Hayagriva in a Japanese temple. Over this I placed two images of the centre of our galaxy, the Galactic Centre which is in Sagittarius. With the help of the photo of the head of a Hayagriva statue in Rajahmundry, South India, I created the Hayagriva figure in the milky white colour associated with Hayagriva.

The upper part of the picture shows a detail of a zodiacal representation with Sagittarius above Hayagriva’s crown.

The water sign Scorpio is connected to the cosmic 8th house, where the mystery of death is hidden. Scorpio points to the death (transformation) of mortal identities. Our false identity dies, when it surrenders to the soul. Thus, in a disciple, Scorpio indicates the second birth into true identity, which we can achieve through deep transformational processes. This is the gateway to a greater life. Scorpio is the “call of the Disciple.”

Picture to the month of Scorpio

When we turn our senses and our mind deeply inwards through regular contemplation, we gain access to the divine Will and experience a state of blissful be-ness. We can imagine how the fiery spark of the I AM consciousness spreads from the inner centre in all directions.

In the wisdom teachings it is said that the Lord of Will is Mars, the Kumara. He is also called ‘Guha’, the indweller of the inner cave of consciousness. His colour is of molten gold or that of pure liquid honey. The cave is the vertebral column in our body.

To symbolise the inner spark of divine Will, I used the 2008 photo of an oil lamp in the darkness of the shrine in a small cave, which is located inside the larger Borra cave system in Andhra Pradesh, India. I included a night light image of an earthen Buddha statue, taken in 2009 at the home of friends in Germany.

On the ground and to the left next to the smiling Buddha is a scorpion, which poses no danger when in the presence of divine peace. The foliage surrounding the statue can be seen in the background, merging into the numerous points of night light of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. The space image was generated with the help of WorldWind.earth, which uses NASA images. The lights in turn merge into the starry sky, where the constellation of Scorpio can be seen on the right.

From the innermost light of the divine spark, 7 rays rise up and indicate the connection between microcosm and macrocosm.

The air sign Libra gives the message of balance when the right and left scales are balanced. If the law in society becomes disordered, the balance is disturbed; polarisation arises between the different groups in society. Anyone who behaves unlawfully disturbs the harmony of the balance. Today, the law is regularly violated in every conceivable aspect.
Saturn is exalted in Libra; he enables balance to be achieved through correct decisions. They are to be made on the principle of responsibility and not on the basis of advantage, convenience or profit.
The law should be understood as a means to restore balance and not to impose punishment. Righteousness, rather than punishment, should be the goal of the law. Libra governs and guides the path of decisions. It also regulates the application of purifying measures. Love forms the basis for righteousness and restitution or restoration. Venus, the ruler of Libra, stands for true love, which leads to tolerance, compassion and understanding.

Picture to the month of Libra

Libra symbolizes the state in which life in the outer world has unfolded to the maximum. The soul incarnated in the body is in danger of losing itself in the affairs of everyday life and drowning in them if it does not consciously turn to the light. The Teachers and Masters of Wisdom are always ready to “fish” the seeking souls, i.e. they help seekers to free themselves from entanglements and direct seekers towards the path of Light.

When we strive for love and not for power, people gather around us. By sharing knowledge and wisdom, we guide them on the path. In doing so, we also grow ourselves and our lives become unlimited. The stars such as the Great Bear, Pleiades and Sirius are reflected on Earth as the Hierarchy of Masters, and the teachers of the Hierarchy are our guides.

In the centre of the picture is a boat with a pair of fishermen casting nets. Human figures can be seen in the reflections in the water. They symbolize the people who are looking for guidance on the path to the light. The light reflections of the sun form a path up to the stars of the zodiac and beyond to infinity.

I used photos of several scenes from India for the design of the boat with the fishers and the waves of the light path. To illustrate the people lost in matter, I embedded elements from a group photo into the waves. The golden yellow stands for the light of the buddhic plane; the multi-coloured reflections in the water symbolize the thoughts and emotions of the lower planes of the material world.

The arch with the figures of the zodiac was designed using a photo of the old astrological clock from the medieval “Zytglogge” tower in Berne’s Old Town. Next to the Libra symbol, the path of light leads up into the expanses of the subtle worlds.

Not all in the West know who Lord Krishna is and much less is known about his spiritual significance. Although he lived about 5300 years ago, his energy keeps on expressing on the planet. I read about Krishna in the 1970s and felt much fascinated.

27 years ago, Master Kumar inaugurated a Krishna statue in Wermelskirchen, Germany during a celebration of Krishna’s birthday in August 1997. The Master has gifted Krishna statues to group members from different countries around the globe and personally installed and consecrated them. It was a great program to anchor and strengthen the presence of Lord Krishna in the lives of those who came in contact.

I came with a group from Switzerland to Wermelskirchen; it was my first physical contact with Master Kumar and the World Teacher Trust.

It was a beautiful inauguration ceremony and ritual through which I came in touch with the magic of Lord Krishna’s soul music. And this touch of His presence was anchored in me. I felt drawn to the Krishna statue whenever I saw it again. It is not stone, but a living presence.

The inauguration was embedded in a seminar, where Sri Kumar spoke about the book “The Music of the Soul” by Master EK – the soul music with which Lord Krishna transformed people. The book and the soul music also left a lasting impact in my life.

Now, the statue was given to Sabine and Manfred to find a new permanent place at their home in Heiligenberg (meaning, the Holy Mountain) – in the rose garden that Manfred has cultured with much love and devotion. 10 days ago, a group of 9 members brought the statue from Northern Germany to the south. It was installed with a little ceremony and some more members joint the celebration.

I could not participate in this inauguration but I was involved in preparation work when I visited Manfred and Sabine for some days beginning of July. Inwardly, I was much there at the celebration and I received photos and video-clips of the beautiful inauguration: Klim Krishnaya, Govindaya, Gopijana Vallabhaya Namaha – the sacred sounds of mantras were blessing the atmosphere of the whole area and beyond.

4 weeks ago, I had given an envelope with a symbol and a little glass jewel for the place of the statue to a friend from Germany to send it to Heiligenberg. The envelope, however, did first a tour through southern France and now finally arrived in Heiligenberg. I was thrilled to see the new photos of the statue yesterday.

I share here the pics with you so that you too can feel the magnetism of the Presence of Lord Krishna.

Three months ago, I blogged about Preparing a Home for my Paintings and how the paintings arrived at their home in Murcia, Southern Spain, at the farm house of Ursula and Jesus from the WTT Vamsi group (vamsi: the flute, of Lord Krishna).

There is a huge hall which needed repair and preparation but which seemed to be ideal for a Gallery of Synthesis for the Images of Synthesis, as is the name of the new series of paintings which started end of 2009. Jesus promised to give regular updates about the progress of the work.

Here you can see part of the photos and video clips he shared. It demonstrates and inspiring process of goodwill manifesting for preparing a sacred place for the paintings. And through the paintings a place for exchange about art, astrology and wisdom teachings, like the virtual Aquarian Salon meetings.

The earth sign Virgo represents the World Mother and is the sign of purity. A virgin mind is a clean mind which only reflects. The members of the Hierarchy have such a virgin mind, in which the Light of the World Mother is reflected. They can be impressed by the divine Plan and radiate it down on earth. Virgo calls upon us to cultivate purity in food and drink as well as purity in thought, word and deed. Once our mind is free of impurities, the holy child of the Virgin, our soul consciousness, can be born within us.
