November 7th, we celebrate the Day of Goodwill and the 80th anniversary of Master KPK, Sri K. Parvathi Kumar (1945-2022) – it is the 81st anniversary in Indian counting.

Sri Kumar was born on 7th of November 1945 in Vijayawada, a Wednesday at 07:33 am in the month of Scorpio. He did not speak much about himself – he shared the birth date details seemingly casually in the book “Enlightening Encounters” (PDF), episode 10, about his encounter with Sadguru Sree Sivananda Murthy. See below his birth chart.

Master Kumar was a very magnetic person radiating a strong divine presence which was felt by all those who could tune in. For others, he remained a “by-passer” of a journey.

Many members cherish fond memories of encounters with the Master. He was an outstanding role model for them. At the 2019 Anniversary of Master KPK – Day of Goodwill celebration, he recounted several stories about great role models from his youth who had had a profound influence on him. We can learn much about the Master himself from his stories about others. Through such descriptions, he ignited the fire of aspiration in many Here is a short excerpt from his speech.

“I had a friend in childhood who introduced me to activities like Bhajans in praise of the Lord in a Shiva temple on the night of Shiva Rathri. That is also something which I enjoyed a lot. Then I got to stay in the house of my maternal grandfather for 3 years and study because my father used to get transferred regularly in his job. Those years passed away splendorously. I used to see that my grandfather used to lead his life as a ritual filled with Divine alignment and service. He used to worship Lord Dattatreya. He also used to write the name of Lord Rama daily and in 30 years he wrote it 30 million times. He also used to perform a ritual to the Divine within himself based on Sri Suktam. He used to run a furniture making and selling business. It used to export from his shop to many places in the country. He hardly gave any instructions in the shop. He used to just sit in his chair and write Rama’s name while everything happened just like that. I used to visit the shop sometimes by going with him. I closely witnessed his life for almost 3 years and I can never forget the discipline and ritualistic way of life. His vision and speech were also very powerful. They almost made the other person speak the truth even if the other person wanted to lie.

In this manner, I was graced by the Divine throughout my childhood and grew up in a Divine atmosphere. I realised that the Divine is all permeating and the Divine can be related to through different names and forms but it is ONE. This became clear to me at a very young age. I finished my education and was about to start my professional career. That is when I got in touch with Master EK. I told him “I learnt to live life of offering from my father and grandfather. I would like to continue leading such a life under your direction and move even closer to the Divine.” Master EK patted my shoulder and say “we will work together from today.” From then on, my association with Master EK kept growing and he introduced me to many other Masters who have been working on this planet with bodies of light. I came to know that anyone with sincere aspiration can attain a subtle body and keep working with it even after leaving the physical.”

May we follow the teachings Master KPK gave through his life by orienting our lives to the Master and the Great Ones he followed himself. Namaskarams Master KPK.

At the moment, there is a tour of Guru Prasad, the President of WTT-Global, to several groups of the WTT in Argentina (I posted a news on Telegram with a link to a YouTube streaming of his talk given at the University of Posadas in the north of Argentina.) I had been in touch with the organisation and followed the tour via a WhatsApp chat with many photos and clips.

Yesterday ended the 4-days group living at Iguazu near the famous waterfalls. For me, it was like being again at the places which we had visited on a tour through Argentina with Master KPK and his wife Krishna Kumari in 2015. We also had been at the same hotel near the waterfalls.

This morning, Adriana, a member of the organisation team, contacted me. The Posadas group had created a little gift for the participants of the group life and had done a beautiful video about this teamwork.

Adriana asked me to share the video with Guru Prasad – which I did. And I would also like to share the video with you. It’s very well done. Enjoy.

500 years ago, there lived a great doctor and healer, Paracelsus (1493 – 1541). He was born in Einsiedeln, Switzerland and died on 24th of September 1541 in Salzburg, Austria. He was a master of astrology, of alchemy, of symbols, numbers, signature, palmistry, physiognomy etc. He laid the foundation stone for many great, new medical and scientific developments, such as the homoeopathic teaching of Hahnemann.

When Dr K. Parvathi Kumar visited the birthplace of Paracelsus at Einsiedeln on the occasion of the 500th anniversary of Paracelsus in 1993, he had a profound inner encounter with Paracelsus. In 1999, he inspired the foundation of the Paracelsus Center and later the PARACELSUS – HEALTH & HEALING journal.

Since November 2003, a group of volunteers has been publishing the 52-page print periodical in German, English and Spanish every month. The editor-in-chief was Dr K. Parvathi Kumar. The purpose of the publication was to collect and synthesise new and old knowledge about medicine and the art of healing from East and West in order to make it available to people. The whole production – content production, 3 languages translation, printing, shipping, marketing, subscription management and accountancy – was run by group members.

It was an incredibly intense and dedicated team training – acquiring skills in many fields, learning transnational collaboration, mobilising will for overcoming many obstacles. A quotation from Paracelsus:
“He who is artistic in his work, will produce wonders, which will be great and indescribable.” (Paracelsus, Vol. III, p 653)

A website for the journal was set up by a member containing general informations on the journal and on Paracelsus. In 2006, I took over running the site with the help of my youngest son. Later, others developed the site.

The Paracelsus Health & Healing Magazine was initially published in print for 13 years. It gradually developed in content and design to a remarkable level and achieved a high level of recognition among its readership.

From 2016 on, the magazine was published as an online publication free of charge. This allowed giving more comprehensive information about healing methods and traditional medical knowledge in the East and West. Within the limited framework of the resources, the team succeeded in inspiring a wider readership for the valuable articles. There was a continuous blessings of the project by Master Kumar, which was continued to be deeply felt even after his departure on 1 November 2022.

However, the decreasing willingness of authors to give their texts for free publication, the gradual stagnating use of the online magazine ‘Health & Healing’ by the readership and, above all, the rapid changes in Internet technology and user behaviour were realities observed by the team. They did not have the financial, technical, and human resources to continue the work.

They decided that the last article will be published on 7 November 2024, 21 years after the foundation of the magazine. All previously published issues shall continue to be available online and the website shall be maintained until further notice.

A warm ‘Thank you!’ for the great and selfless work done over 21 years – a triple septennium – creating a valuable treasure of knowledge.

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.

To be cheerful is an essential quality for any person to progress in their path of life, and much more so in the path of discipleship.

On 26th July 2021, Master K. Parvathi Kumar gave an inspiring and insightful talk on the Merry Life Day and the energy of Master CVV. As a part of the talk, he laid out aspects relating to Plenty of Prana and how Master CVV has ushered in the Aquarian speed into the process of spiritual evolution of humanity. There is a booklet based on this lecture of Sri Kumar about “Merry Life Day”. Its message is to be cheerful in life.

And there is now a YouTube video lecture by Master Kumar on “The Significance of Merry Life Day” given on July 26, 2020.

On 30th March 1910, Master CVV received the influx of the cosmic Energy Of Synthesis, which the Master distributed to the disciples on 29th May 1910, naming it “The May Call Day”.

On the 26th of July, the Master was able to utilize the energy to link up the pranic principle in all three planes of existence, the cosmic, solar, and planetary energy with the kundalini of the individual aspirants. It is the first of its kind on this planet to speed up the spiritual evolution of the humanity on this planet. It was a grand achievement in relation to the energy that descended.

Master CVV has declared this day, the 26th of July, as the Day of Merry Life. It is considered an important day that should be recollected and remembered to pay homage to the grand Master CVV.

In Barcelona, Spain, there is “Merrylife”, a non-profit association created with the purpose of providing Knowledge, Wisdom and Love to apply in everyday life. (See the website with automatic translation).

Through courses, workshops, activities, conferences and therapeutic medical care, the group contributes to an inner transformation, through a synthesis that integrates Science, Art and Spirituality, and promotes a Culture of Peace.

Merrylife is the fruit of the commitment of a group of people from different cultural and social backgrounds who build the project, who believe in a better humanity and who work together so that human beings can achieve their full potential. Merrylife is funded through courses and activities, membership fees and donations, as well as contributions from the medical and therapeutic areas.

There is also a “Merry Life Society” based in California with volunteers performing service activities and organizing seminars.

We are currently in Pisces, where the old annual cycle is slowly coming to an end. And today, Mercury enters Aries – it’s time to start thinking about our plan for the new annual cycle.

In the last two days, I read two articles in two different magazines that were not directly related in terms of subject matter, but were similar in one important respect – visions of a good life are needed to make it possible.

One article in the newspaper “Der Bund” from March 8, 2024 by Nora Zukker was about a new book by German philosopher Carolin Emcke, who used to write as a reporter about people in conflict zones who are disenfranchised, persecuted, tortured and killed. In her new book (“Was wahr ist. Über Gewalt und Klima” – What is true. About Violence and Climate), Emcke says that we need to counter the dystopian narratives with something worth hoping for. We need a narrative that is committed to what should be socially valid – and resists violence. Among other things, the predictions of a climate apocalypse that many are making are worrying, but we need utopias that are recognizable on the horizon, because they convey hope. If no one tells the story of the utopia, then it cannot be true. Only the telling makes something true. It needs a narrative that justifies what it wants to create: humaneness, a more humane life.

The other article by journalist and Middle East correspondent Detlef Gürtler in the Swiss magazine “Das Magazin” No. 10/2024 (for subscribers) describes how no one knows when and how the war between Israel and Hamas will end, but that it is certain that a new beginning is needed afterwards, which could be a new beginning for the entire Middle East. And he shows a vision for the Middle East region in the 21st century and which processes could lead there. Assessments of dangers are described, but viable solutions are also outlined.

With the background knowledge of the wisdom teachings, we know that we are going through severe crises in the current transition period. We can prepare ourselves for the events that unfold through time. The times are prone to unrest, struggle and conflict unless much is done to counteract this on a global, group and individual level.

We can align ourselves with the Masters and invoke their energies so that the higher Will may rule the governments of the countries of the world. We can invoke the energy of synthesis with group prayers so that this energy brings about the necessary synthesis among us. And we can tune into the light of the soul and continue to work with ourselves to transform ourselves. May the new cycle give us the determination and strength we need to move forward on the path!

A friend sent me the following question:

“I wanted to ask you if you know that when pets die they also have a space where they have a dimension? My little pet died, my cat was 12 years with me and was born here at home. It was very sad for me, that’s why I ask you this question, I still feel its presence, it’s hard for me because it wasn’t like an animal, it was like a person. I would be grateful if you could clear up any doubts.”

This interesting question leads us to the relation between the animal and the human kingdom. Many people have animals in their household or, like on a farm, they live with domestic animals. There are wisdom teachings saying that an animal can individualize only through association with man.

Humans have the gift of self-consciousness or the soul. Animals and plants have consciousness, a subjective side, but no self-consciousness, a soul. Cats and dogs can distinguish themselves from other cats and dogs. They have a little self-consciousness, and thus, they are on the way of developing individuality. This is what my friend observed when she said, her cat it wasn’t like an animal, it was like a person. This impregnation through individualisation is kept for the future stages of development. Therefore, it says that pet souls don’t merge into the group soul of their animal group but keep their individuality for further steps of development.

Through living together, a rapport is being established between humanity and the domesticated animals. This way, a bridge is developed between the higher animals and pets and the human kingdom. To tame, train and keep pets helps in building this bridge.

In the wisdom teachings, this bridge is compared with the bridge between the human kingdom, the fourth kingdom of nature, and the fifth kingdom, the spiritual hierarchy. The linking bridge between these two kingdoms is formed by the spiritually advanced humans who selflessly work for the benefit of the greater good. This group is also called in some teachings the “New Group of World Servers”.

In autumn 2014, I was asked if I could do a German translation of the biography “Sripada Srivallabha Charitamrutam“, and I mentioned it to Robert, a good friend from Spain. He spontaneously said: “Do you think that a Spanish version would also be needed?” I replied, “Yes, if you think so, do it.”

This was the start for a long and intense path and a lot of collaboration. Now, a week ago, a parcel arrived from Spain – Robert sent me the newly published Spanish version.

It was a great joy to unpack the new book which had been released during the Spanish May Call celebration in Denia / Alicante. It felt like a block of sublime energy. Now, the volume has joined the other language versions.

Here is a short description in Spanish, from the cover of the book:
“El Srīpāda Srīvallabha Charitāmrutam es un libro extraordinario que trata de la primera encarnación de Dattatreya el Señor en la era actual. Presentado de forma emocionante y entretenida, da una visión de la fascinante biografía de Srīpāda Srīvallabha (1320-1350), de sus divinas bromas, enseñanzas, profecías y milagros. Se tiene la sensación de estar en su misma presencia, participando en los acontecimientos.”

You can read more about it here in Spanish or in English – and other languages. The Spanish book is also available for free download as PDF. But it is better to read it in paper version (you get it at Amazon) – there is a special auspicious energy related to this extraordinary biography.

About the creation of the Salon and of our triangle of Ludger (Switzerland), Alexis & Risa (Oklahoma/USA).

I have known Risa D’Angeles from a long time ago. Our interest in the wisdom teachings brought us together and we became friends in the context of the World Teacher Trust. I once even met her; it was in 2019 during a meeting with Master Kumar at Mount Shasta, California. Risa is a writer and teacher, and she is the founder and director of the Esoteric & Astrological Studies & Research Institute & College / Night Light News.

Over 18 years, we mainly had contact through written exchanges in various projects, and during nearly 9 years she silently participated, without camera, in the bi-weekly online study groups on wisdom teachings. At the beginning of February 2023, we met for an exchange via Zoom. I had invited her with the idea to see how our collaboration could further develop. Her partner, Alexis, participated sitting in the background. During the start of our conversation, Risa asked if I was interested in an explanation of my astrology chart which I gratefully accepted.

Listening to Risa and Alexis explore my chart was like a dam breaking within and the start of a totally unexpected level of development. They both commented “in stereo” on various dimensions of my chart. They told me how they had been observing me over years giving profound answers to questions concerning the wisdom teachings. They said there are strong aspects in my chart relating to being a teacher. They proposed that I begin to share, offer and present the knowledge I had gathered over decades and that my “Images of Synthesis” paintings, full of profound symbolism, should be the means.

I hesitated and said that I don’t see myself talking and people just listening. That there are already many other things going on in my life and that, in case, I would prefer a more interactive form. They suggested that we can cooperate as a triangle. They intensely encouraged me to start teaching on a larger scale than I am doing up to now and they would strongly support me. I was touched by their inner presence; they both have a profound astrological and psychological background and experience in working with people. Our discussion went into many depths and the ideas were thrilling. But there were many questions and I needed time to digest the idea.

We began our discussions with weekly exchanges. When Risa proposed to start a salon, I replied that it reminded me of the salons in France about art and culture in the pre-revolutionary times and of the auto-mobile salon of Geneva – but that the term salon sounds a bit old-fashioned. She replied, “No – an Aquarian Salon“. I was thrilled. She said, about “Art, Astrology and Wisdom Teachings” and added “A conversation“.

That’s it. The fire was on. We agreed to open a public virtual salon four times a year on a Saturday during the signs of the fixed cross – Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, but to start at 0 degree Gemini, on Sunday, 21 May 2023. It will be presented by the “Circle of Good Will” and by “Night Light News“. Details will be shared later.

The idea was warmly welcomed by friends. Some friends are also willing to help, with music and other forms of art. The project started sprouting.
