Today we celebrate the 53rd anniversary of the foundation of the World Teacher Trust (WTT). It happened on Saturday, 18 November 1971. (As per Indian counting, it is the 54th anniversary since the seed of the Trust started sprouting.)

The WTT was founded on 18 November 1971, in the month of Scorpio, spiritually the darkest time of the year, but the moment to prepare the ascent.

Already 94 years earlier, on 17 November 1875, there was the foundation of the Theosophical Society with Helena P. Blavatsky. This was an important step to reveal the Masters and their work to a wider public.

This work is continued by the World Teacher Trust. On the foundation day of WTT, Master EK showed the pictures of Lord Maitreya, Master Morya and Master Kuthumi to those present. He said that these Masters form the core triangle of the WTT and guide the Trust invisibly. He said that their Plan has been worked out for over 5000 years on this planet and they work as per the instructions of Lord Krishna. And he mentioned that one of the aims of the WTT is to bring the Hierarchy into manifestation.

In May 2020 Master KPK (Dr. K. Parvathi Kumar) spoke at the WTT India council assembly of heads of groups (Ganapatis) about the next foundation day, 18th November 2020, where 49 (7*7) years of service would conclude for him:

“The World Teacher Trust, founded by Master EK on 18th November 1971, tended to be a great banyan tree sheltering many true seekers all over the globe. This is purely Master’s grace.

It has become like Theosophical Society founded by Mme. Blavatsky, The Lucis Trust founded by Mme. Alice A Bailey and The Agni Yoga Society founded by Mme. Helena Roerich.

These four are global organizations externalized the most ancient teachings of the Hierarchy whose head is The World Teacher, Lord Maitreya.

The World Teacher Trust is today extremely liked organization which is due to the three preceding trusts.

Master EK made a happy blend of Sanatana Dharma. He knitted together all teachings to be brought onto one platform and give a way of life which is global. For this Master Jupiter Sage Agastya, Master CVV gave a grand push.

I want to share with all group heads be it council members or ganapatis, by 18th November 2020, 49 (7*7) years of service concludes. It is my duty to inform you all since I continue to be its mentor. Kindly share with all group members and do your best in your groups to celebrate 18 November 2020.

‘Group is the Master’. Where group is alive, Master’s presence is abundant.”

May the flame of this grand work keep growing and may we contribute to it by our fiery aspiration and dedication to the purpose of the Work.

Since 2005, the 7th of November is celebrated as the “Day of Goodwill” in honour of Master Sri K. Parvathi Kumar (7 Nov. 1945 – 1 Nov. 2022). Throughout his life, work and inspiration, much goodwill work manifested globally. In 1985, Sri Kumar founded the Circle of Good Will India, and the Circle of Good Will, Switzerland is inspired by his work. And this work keeps on unfolding, also after his passing. We do not focus on passing but on continuity and unfoldment. In this sense, we keep on with the wisdom teachings and practical goodwill activities with his inspiration.

This year, we celebrate November 7th as the Day of Goodwill and the 79th anniversary of Sri K. Parvathi Kumar (it is the 80th anniversary in Indian counting). There will be a streaming of the celebration in Visakhapatnam, India, via YouTube starting from 6pm IST (CET: 13:30, ART: 09:30 EST: 07:30 am, PST: 04:30 am) with the evening meditation, followed by a talk by Sri Navaneetham (in Telugu) until 07:00 pm IST.

There will be a transmission via Zoom WTT-Global of the English talk of Sri Guru Prasad, President of WTT-Global, which is scheduled for 1 hour, starting at 7pm IST. (CET: 14:30, ART: 10:30 EST: 08:30 am, PST: 05:30 am). Zoom will be opened 15 minutes in advance (6:45 IST). Login details on request (info@worldteachertrust.org). The talk will be translated to French, German and Spanish. Guru Prasad said that he will speak slowly to enable people from the West to understand well and to translate.
The program will continue afterwards in Telugu with transmission via YouTube. There will be no translation from Telugu.

There is an ocean of profound wisdom, of practical goodwill, and of spiritual guidance which manifested through the Master KPK. It keeps on inspiring and uplifting many people and seekers all over the globe. And many of those who have been impregnated by him as a role model, now express it in their lives or share it with other seekers.

Here is a short extract from Master’s inspiring talk during the 2018 birthday anniversary and Goodwill Day celebration:

“If I observe all the goodwill activities that have been happening on the occasion of my birthday, I must say that I am ever grateful to you each one of you. I bow to the Divine present in each one of you.

Generally, we think that there is lot of bad happening in the world because that is what we dominantly see in the news and media. If some good activity is reported in the news, there is overwhelming response and everyone feels happy about it. This is naturally present in human nature. Master Devapi said “Every man has a heart. Remind him through your good deeds.” If you serve the needy ones who approach you, without expecting anything in return, then the other person remembers you in his heart for a very long time. A deed of goodwill performed without expectations will remain in the hearts of those served for a long time. That is what Master Devapi meant through his statement. So, if someone needy approaches you, you respond in the right manner by seeing the Divine in them. If you constantly do this, then the Lord feels very happy and grants you with name and fame. That is due to his compassion.

You need not go and search of what good deeds you have to do. If you are prepared, then time and nature will bring the work to you. You just have to respond appropriately. A Grand Master said “Out of small duties properly performed, will emerge larger responsibilities culminating in world service.” So, whether the work is small or large, whether others will recognise or not and so on; does not matter. You just perform your duty which comes to you to the best of your abilities. If you are attentive and dedicated in performing your duties, then nature leads you to greater work. Nature likes those who take up responsibilities because she knows that responsible one can take care of large number of people. So, we should learn to stick to our duties whatever they might be and relate to the Divine through them. Then automatically you are accorded with more and more duties and you are recruited into the Divine plan. Do not start activities on your own will.

I never started anything in my life as per my will. I just responded to situations and duties that came to me. … I just did whatever work came to me. Master EK just told me to keep observing WTT and its activities. I just kept observing while the activities kept happening. Witnessing is very important in yoga. If you are a good witness, then activities just keep happening through you. Even people around you get inspired and they too start doing many things. That is how so many goodwill activities have been happening around the globe.”

So, may we keep working relating to the Divine and never feel great about the work we do.

A blogpost of 2 November 2014, 10 years ago, about “An Office Lesson – Story of an Encounter with Sri Kumar“.

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.

In 2022, Master K. Parvathi Kumar had published the book on “Shambala” and he also had given several proposals for a humble cooperation with Shambala.
By this, he intended to strengthen our awareness of Shambala and to awaken an increasing part humanity towards the fact and truth of Shambala.

There is now a web-page in English, French, German, Portuguese and Spanish (Telugu will follow soon) about “Aligning to Shambala“. It contains all related information for the general public. You also find information about how to use this symbol of Shambala for visualisation/meditation.

And here are some blogposts on Shambala published earlier.

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.

Next Sunday, there is the second full moon of Cancer. This full moon is celebrated as the full moon of the teacher (Guru Poornima) and it is dedicated to the great Master of Wisdom Vedavyasa. Vedavyasa is the teacher who arranged the Vedic wisdom into 18 Puranas, and he gave the great epic poem Mahabharata with the Bhagavad Geeta as well as the Bhagavatam.
It is said that he has ascended to higher planes but gives his presence at this full moon.
Here you can find the “Invocation of the Hierarchy of Teachers“

Master KPK used to give Guru Poornima messages – here is a collection of these messages given by the Master from 2007 – 2022 at Bhagyanagaram / Hyderabad.
This is the Guru Poornima Message 2011:

Your Teacher is in you. This is the truth.

You will find your Teacher depending upon the degree of sincerity with which you aspire to follow the Light, to follow the Truth.

As far as possible, apply whatever little knowledge that you already hold, in your daily life.

Be truthful to yourself. Be sincere in what you do. Be intent-full. Be playful in your pleasure time.

Do not submit yourself to too many rules and regulations. Your sincere aspiration leads you to a guide, a teacher in the outer world. If he is a true Teacher, he leads you to the Teacher in you, who awaits you in your heart. He shows you the way to find your Teacher in your heart.

He may let you initially to depend upon him, but he would not let you to be his dependent for all times to come.

A true teacher leads the true aspirant to the One Teacher who is in the heart of one’s own being. He gives the technique and also gives certain tips to establish contact with the Teacher in you. The purpose of a true teacher is to lead you to the Teacher in you, who leads you further to the Truth in you.

You will realise in due course that, verily the Truth, the Teacher and you are but one and the same. Be sincere in your approach and wait with patience.

Alignment to the cardinal points of the year by celebrating equinoxes and solstices, is of great spiritual importance, to recollect our purpose, thereby recharge ourselves and move forward on the path. Summer solstice is the moment of entry of Sun into Cancer and it is good to inwardly prepare for this moment and orient the personality to the Soul.

Like in previous years, we met again to celebrate the solstice at the Paracelsus Center of WTT near Einsiedeln. We were 6 persons having come from Austria, Germany and two parts of Switzerland – long-time friends. We wanted to start with a fire ritual on the mountain ridge near the Etzel pass. The weather report had announced intense rain. When we approached, we saw heavy dark clouds hanging in the air and it was raining a bit. However, the weather map showed a little area without rain clouds approaching. We asked the devas to wait until after the fire ritual. When we arrived on the pass, the rain stopped.

We walked to the fire place, started singing the mantrams of the fire ritual, and when the flames rose, there was the presence of an uplifting energy.

As soon as the fire ritual ended, I packed the material and told the group to quickly prepare for leaving and that the time window was about to close. However they continued chatting – within 2-3 minutes, wind and rain set. We thanked the devas for having waited until the end of the fire ritual.

It rained most of the day, partly with thunder and lightning – appropriate to the beginning of Cancer, a watery sign.

At the Paracelsus Center, we prepared the room for the celebration and did a solstice alignment contemplation. I then spoke about the energies of the time and the place.

The start of the Paracelsus Center
25 years ago, on 8 June 1999, there was the start of the Paracelsus Center. (Here you find some words about the beginnings spoken during the celebration of 20 years of Paracelsus Center).
The center was started by the then Agni School (Agnischule). The group dissolved in ca. 2005. Later, I think in 2003, the WTT-Global took over running the Paracelsus Center.

You still find the website of the Agni School (it is the very first website I had created in 1999) in the Web Archives, with information about Paracelsus and the Paracelsus Center. The website of the Paracelsus Center is also still available in the Web Archives, I created it in 2000, shortly before leaving the Agni school (the background colours inside don’t show correctly).

Here are some pictures from the start of the Paracelsus Center I recently scanned. We had met with the members of the Agni School and some friends for planting two trees (which did not survive long…) at the start of renting the center. In December 1999, around the birthday of Paracelsus, there was the official inauguration of the center with Master KPK (Sri Kumar) giving a seminar on Paracelsus in Einsiedeln, and all participants coming to visit the center – with much snow outside.

At the summer solstice celebration, we did a walk in nature in the afternoon, continued with aligning to the energies of summer solstice and concluded with a Cancer full moon meditation. We were pleased to see that a month ago, on Vaisakh full moon, Guru Prasad and Ramana had visited the Paracelsus Center at the beginning of their European tour and had left some words of thanks in the guest book. As an expression of our gratitude for being able to meet in this deeply spiritual place, we also wrote some words of thanks in the book.

From Onda, we went further south and arrived in the afternoon at Murcia, reaching finally the place where I wanted to bring my paintings. As we drove around the city on the motorway and approached the area of the farm of Jesus and Ursula, we suddenly saw a huge statue of Christ on a mountain reminding of the Christ on Corcovado mountain in Rio de Janeiro and like blessing the surrounding.

We drove through some small streets and then saw the farmhouse of Ursula and Jesus.

They gave us a warm welcome. There were also a brother of Ursula and a Dutch friend from the office of Jesus.

We parked the car in front of the house and started unpacking.

I felt very happy to see the beautiful space very well suited for the paintings. Jesus showed me the house and the room where the images are now stored. Then we had some hearty talks.

After evening meditation and dinner, Jesus and Ursula showed us the area. There was a great sunrise behind the mount with the statue of the Christ – a sublime moment.

Early next morning, after morning meditation and breakfast, we started towards Cordoba together with Ursula and Jesus.

The next part of the journey began with a surprise: Friday morning, when we arrived at the highway at Girona, I could not speed up the car – the motor was not fully working. I immediately turned to the Girona exit and drove to the nearby petrol station. We invoked Ganesha and whoever might help… And it worked.

A man at the petrol station told us with hands (we don’t speak neither Spanish nor Catalan as it is spoken there) that just around the corner there was a garage – a big one. After short waiting, probably the head of the garage, who spoke a little English, had a look at our car and the spiral alarm light. He then electronically tested the system, did a test ride and gave a little all-clear: The problem had to do with the diesel turbo injection which might return during the journey but we might just restart the car after a small pause. Everything went well with the car during the entire journey – and we gave a big thank-you to Ganesha 🙂

The rain from Girona ended while we drove southwards and it became much warmer. We arrived in Onda in the afternoon. Teresa and Manuel gave us a warm welcome. It is the home of the Muditha group of WTT, and I had visited them already in 2012. (You find more about this group and the others in the Annual Report of WTT-Global, PDF.) In the 1990s, Sri Kumar had installed a Krishna statue in their garden. Two of their sons joined for a group photo with Sri Krishna. We spread some rice grains around as a blessing for the birds – next morning, it was all gone, and some more rice was spread.

Manuel is responsible for the book publications of Ediciones Dhanishtha, the publishing house of WTT-Spain, and they have published plenty of books, also a few new ones this year. I smiled when I saw the Spanish Sripada biography published last year on a shelf in their home. (You find much more about adventures around Sripada and his biography in this blog.)

They have a beautiful meditation room …

… but we sat downstairs for joining the zoom evening meditation of WTT-Global followed by a special prayer of the Great Eagle Garuda, related to reviving the spiritual impulse of Spain.

A hearty evening dinner and talk…

…a morning walk with their beautiful meditative dog through the nearby forest area (while all the dogs of the neighbourhood were wildly barking, he kept quiet, and also during meditation) …

… and then we had to leave for the next stage of the journey. But we met them later in Cordoba again.

On 8th of May, the “White Lotus Day”, we commemorate Helena P. Blavatsky, the great Bringer of Light for the Aquarian Age. We have been doing so since the beginning of our blog 18 years ago. If you would like to know more about the life of the Madam, please find here a biographical sketch about the life and work of HPB.

Master KPK often spoke about the greatness of Madam Blavatsky and what she had done for spirituality. He also gave several books about HPB, her teachings and the impact of her life:

• “The Golden Stairs“
• “Teachings of Madame HPB“
• “The Theosophical Movement“
• 3 volumes on “Lectures on Secret Doctrine”, see here (all books are there available as free PDFs).

May we recollect on the White Lotus Day that Helena Blavatsky brought out the truth about the Masters of Wisdom through her books and that she opened the door for us to link to the Spiritual Hierarchy. We pay homage to her by practically integrating the wisdom into our lives.

See below the words of Master KPK from a discourse on 08th of May 2016 at Visakhapatnam:

“8th May is celebrated as White Lotus Day in the Theosophical Societies. On this day, Madam HPB passed over in the year 1891 and after the departure, she attained a permanent place in the Ashram of a Grand Master in Himalayas. Grand Masters themselves declared this day as “White Lotus Day” because to fulfil their grand Plan, Madam HPB was born. She was a highly pure soul which can be compared to a ‘White lotus’. It is said that there was no other being as pure as her, at the time when she was in a body. She went through lot of hardships in her life and worked towards the establishment of truth and Divine Wisdom on the planet. It is considered a highly difficult task because it is the age of Kali and lot of lies was spreading around and the messengers of Kali were very powerful in their work. Through her, the Divine wisdom spread all over the globe.

So on this day, we should recollect her. She keeps giving her presence to all groups which aspire to learn and practice the path to Divinity. She has a body of light and she is always prepared to grace sincere aspirants. She was given the title “Upasika” by the Grand Masters. It means she was highly devoted to the Divine and his work.

She was born in the early hours of 12th of August and she departed on 8th of May. This day is also celebrated in the Ashrams of Grand Masters because she gained a permanent position in the Ashram through her sincere work. She did not care for the physical body at any point of time. She sustained immense pain in the physical to fulfil the work. She did not leave the body until she completed the book “Secret Doctrine”. She was even suggested by Master Devapi to leave the body prior to that but she did not agree and remained in the body until the work was complete.

The truth that the Hierarchy of Masters exist on the planet and they keep guiding the humanity in the path of ascent, is known to very few. Though it is written in the Indian Scriptures, Indians too did not recognize them. We recognized them only when Madam HPB brought out the truth about them through her books. Only through her, we could get a link to the Hierarchy of Masters. She is the gateway to enter the Ashrams of those Masters. That is why we should recollect her regularly.

She is an embodiment of wisdom and through her we were presented with the knowledge relating to Cosmo-Genesis and Anthropo-Genesis. This knowledge was not available to the mankind earlier, in such detail. So on this day, I took time at the beginning of this discourse to recollect her and her work. She is very much liked by all the Masters of Wisdoms and we gain their blessing by remembering her.”

Have a good White Lotus Day!
