The sun sign Taurus initiates the expression of the annual plan, which was received in Aries as a seed impulse in Shambala. At the time of the Taurus full moon, when the Moon is in the lunar constellation Vaisakha, the Word expresses itself as a fresh impulse for life on Earth. Therefore, this full moon is called the Vaisakha Festival.
The seed word is perceived and received by the Seers and Masters in order to initiate the disciples in the following month of Gemini. The Hierarchy initiates those persons who work with the inspiration of the Divine.
The manner in which divine actions are carried out in the world is represented by various symbols. Shambala stands for the divine that has manifested itself on our planet. This is represented by a circle with a centre point.
The entry of the personality into a connection with the Divine is described in the scriptures by the symbol of the point and equilateral triangle within a circle. The symbol of the point in the circle with a downward-pointing triangle represents how divine actions are carried out in the world.
When works of goodwill are expressed in the world, this is represented by a circle connected to a triangle and superimposed on a square, which symbolises the objective world. Through a deep understanding of these symbols, we can visualise the path to Shambala.
The Sun’s entrance into Aries enables the Earth and her kingdoms to have renewed energies. The Sun is exalted in Aries, which means the Sun is at its highest spiritually. Mars gives the dynamics whereas Mercury gives the needed discrimination. Mars, Mercury and Sun prevail over Aries. Hence, it is good that we orient to the solar energy (Sun), its effulgence (Mercury) and its direction (Mars).
May we redirect our aspiration preventing diffusion of our energies. Resetting our targets is important for our progress: “Relate to the spirit as soul and get guided; relate to matter as soul to manifest.” (Master KPK / Dr K. Parvathi Kumar)
Aries is the month of the descent of new energies. During the hours of the Aries full moon, the Will of God is received in Shambala. The plan for the year descends to Earth in seed form from higher circles. This fresh impulse is formulated into a working plan for the year during the following 30 days. The plan is handed over to the Hierarchy during the hours of the Taurus full moon.
The members of the Hierarchy internalise the plan and begin to implement it. At the Gemini full moon, the disciples who are tuned to the Masters receive the seed thought, which is worked out on the planet during the remaining nine months of the year. These three full moons are of utmost importance for the reception and implementation of the plan.
To visualise this descent and distribution of energies, I merged three full moon images in vertical alignment and superimposed the glyphs of the three months of Aries, Taurus and Gemini in corresponding colours. The light streaming in from above shines down on the Earth via the full moons and spreads downwards into a cone of light.
At the apex of the sphere of the Earth there is a red lotus containing white light and surrounded by a fiery sphere. It is a symbolic representation of Shambala and indicates the reception and transmission of energies.
A few days ago, a friend shared via Telegram the link to a video of a huge open air concert in 2018 called “Lec, saulīte!” (Rise, Sunshine) by Latvia TV. An exquisite gem, a most impressive piece of music.
I searched in YouTube and discovered it – however not with the beautiful Latvian words in subtitles, starting: “I am the womb of the earth. You are my sun…”. You find this version here here:
Pisces is the zodiacal sign of saviourship and sacrifice. Pisces is the fourth mutable zodiacal sign, and the two fishes indicate the dual nature of spirit and matter, which need to find harmony. Pisces contains the possibility of descending into materialism as well as ascending into the light of the soul. Both paths are wide open to us as we end one solar year and enter another lifetime cycle. The choice is always ours as to how we want to move forward and use our will. Jupiter is exalted in Pisces; it helps us rise from duality to synthesis.
A few days ago, I received the photo of a huge drawing that Albert Sassi made of the Rishi Agastya, Master Jupiter. It was drawn on a piece of plain plywood, with charcoal and white. It is a 3/4 portrait. The size is larger than life, it stands almost 2 meters high. This picture shows only the top half of the whole drawing. Maybe one day we will find a more complete picture of it. The current whereabouts of this drawing are unknown.
Rishi Agastya, by Albert Sassi
And little is known about the author of the painting, Albert Sassi (born end of the 19th century in Italy, passed over 28 March 1971 in Belgium). In his outer life, he was for years a high ranking officer at the Geneva Department of Commerce and a professor of Labour Law.
At the same time, he was a very profound spiritualist, a high dignitary member of the Theosophical Society (TS) in Geneva and he translated “Esoteric Astrology” of Master DK / Alice A. Bailey into French. After his retirement he lived for several years in India, especially near the Durga Mountain of the Nilagiris, the Blue Mountains which are said to be the main seat of the ashram of Rishi Agastya in the subtle planes.
There, Albert Sassi met Master EK and deeply interacted with him. Master EK even called him his “spiritual colleague”. Master EK revealed to Sassi the work of Master CVV, who is considered to be an advanced disciple of Agastya or even identical with him, and shared teachings received from him. Albert Sassi facilitated the introduction of Master EK to the West by inviting the Master to Europe. However, when Master EK travelled to Europe for the first time, Albert Sassi had already passed over. Read more about Albert Sassi and the meeting with Master EK.
A friend from Siberia wrote me some days ago in response to the last Aquarian Salon & recording on “Shambala” where we had presented a painting on “The Jewel in the Lotus” and another on “Chintamani, the Philosopher’s Stone of Heavenly Origin“. She gave me some warm personal remarks about my creativeness with the paintings to which I replied, “As per the images, they come, it is not “my creativeness” but given. If there is nothing coming, it is empty in my mind, no work possible.”
She further wrote: “Chintamani is the stone which Nicholas & Helena Roerich mystically received (see a conversation from November 2023). Chintamani was sent to the Roerichs on October 6, 1923, in Paris, in a simple parcel box. It was wrapped in embroidered cloth and placed in a leather casket. This casket and the cloth are depicted in S. N. Roerich’s painting “The Sacred Casket.” In his book “Heart of Asia,” N.K. Roerich wrote: “The great Timur owned this stone. The stone is usually brought by the most unexpected people. In the same unexpected way, in due course, disappears in order to reappear at the destined time in a completely different country. The main part of this stone is located in Shambhala. Only a small piece of it is issued and wanders all over the earth, maintaining a magnetic connection with the main Stone.” I know about this Stone, Ludger. Does the group know?”
Since I cannot tell “about ‘the’ group” but only about individuals, I sent her some pictures of Nicholas Roerich paintings and answered, “I once got these images from a German friend, I did not know the details (from the book ‘Heart of Asia’) you gave.” And later I asked for her permission to quote her from our exchange to which she agreed. Here are the pictures.

Nicholas Roerich has done many paintings on the most sacred and radiant stone Chintamani. Here are two of them.
In the trinity of the air signs (Gemini, Libra & Aquarius), Aquarius represents spiritual air, which corresponds to electric fire. The Aquarius glyph has two lines or waves in space representing sound and light, space and time, Uranus and Neptune, or Mitra and Varuna. These are the two aspects of the One, spirit and matter.
Aquarius is ruled primarily by Uranus and stands for rapid and sudden change. These changes affect all areas of life in ways we cannot imagine – changes for the better, but at first can be experienced as distortions. In order to cope with the changes and their speed, we are to attune ourselves to the Aquarian energies. We must call forth our ability to adapt to the changes. “Accept the inevitable changes and move forward” is the message of Aquarius. Aquarius is the sign of humanity and its freedom. Aquarius and Uranus free humanity to become friendly with all of creation.
