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.

On September 8, we commemorate the birthday of Mother Mary.
In 2022, WTT – Dhanishtha Spain has realised a beautiful video on Mother Mary. It is available in English and also in Spanish.

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.

The 5th ascending moon phase Virgo is the festival of the Seven Seers. It is called ‘Rishi Panchami’ in the East. This year, the festival is 27 August, 12:15 until 28 August 14:28 CEST (Central European Summer Time, UTC + 2).

Cosmically the seven rays come through the seven stars of the Great Bear, where each star is linked to one of the Seven Seers. On earth their energy is represented by the seven great Masters of Spiritual Hierarchy and their seven ashrams. Depending on the predominant energy of our soul quality, we are being prepared for an Ashram that suits us.

Master KPK suggested that on Rishi Panchami the Rishis should be recollected because they are ones who showed the way to live and the way to relate to the Divine. They are all Masters of Wisdom who pervade the path to Divine realisation.

In the Vaisakh Newsletter Virgo 2019, Sri Kumar wrote:

“The month of Virgo is dedicated to the sons of virgin, who are also called the sons of God. The Seven Seers, the Great Bear, and Sirius are all recollected and worshipped during this month of Virgo. Even the pitris are worshipped in the descending arc of moon in Virgo.”

In Spiritual Psychology, Master EK explains:

“There are a good number of such cosmic Masters… Many of them are traced as the Rishis in the Vedic and Puranic lore. They are in fact the working principles of Yoga in the cosmos and not personalities. Each principle is given a name to recognise. Each principle organises every Solar system for a certain length of time and hands it over to the next principle. That particular Solar system which is being managed by a particular principle is named after that particular Rishi or the Cosmic Master. For example, each of the Seven Suns of the constellation of the Great Bear (Sapta Rishi Mandala) is named after a Rishi like Vasishta, Viswamitra, Pulastya, Pulaha, etc….”

And in Spiritual Astrology, Sagittarius, Master EK says:

“There are seven judges in the heavens as seven stars of the Great Bear. They come down to earth as principles, expressions, races and prototypes of men. The seventh and last of them in order is the law of protection, service and love….”

It is recommended to contemplate during the 5th ascending moon phase Virgo on the 7 Seers of the Great Bear represented by the 7 Masters of the 7 Rays.

The “Invocation of the Hierarchy of Teachers” includes the salutation to the Seven Rishis. Intonation

The Leo full moon festival is one of the 4 important festivals which the Lord Sanat Kumara conducts in relation to the Earth during the year. It is the festival of Sravana full moon, where the moon is in the lunar constellation Sravana or Dhanishta, and Sun is in Leo or Virgo. We normally call it in the West the Leo full moon festival. Sravana is a name of the Kumara as Saravana. Master Kumar explains that Sravana occultly bestows mastery over the five senses, the five sense organs and five pulsations. It enables extra sensory perception.

⭐This year, Leo or Sravana full moon is on Friday / Saturday 8 / 9 August 2025.
Sri Kumar called it the new Vaisakh Festival, recommending contemplation on the Hierarchy via Lord Krishna, Lord Sanat Kumara and Lord Maitreya.
At the January 1998 Guru Pujas in Visakhapatnam, the Master mentioned that also Guru Purnima – the full moon festival of the Teacher, which is traditionally celebrated on Cancer Full Moon – will be celebrated at Leo Full Moon in the future.

Please find here more information.

⭐At a question-answer session during the Merry Life Teachings of 2 October 2021, Master Kumar gave the following explanation about Cancer Full Moon and Leo Full Moon:

“Question: Once upon a time, that is 1998 Visakhapatnam Guru Pujas, you mentioned that Guru Purnima will be celebrated on Leo Full Moon or is being celebrated on Leo Full Moon since 1995.
Does this mean a specific Aditya assumed more responsibility? If so, are there any indications of such changes that can be sometimes interpreted for better understanding?

Answer: Yes, I mentioned that the Guru Purnima, the Teachers’ Festival, which we have been doing in Cancer Full Moon will be gradually shifted to Leo Full Moon. This is a saying in the teachings of Master Djwhal Khul.
At the advent of Kali Yuga, Guru Purnima was set for Cancer, in the month of Cancer. Vedavyasa is the teacher who presides over this Full Moon to give presence to all those who are on the path of Wisdom to gain better understanding to relate to Teacher and relate to Wisdom. It is relating to Teacher and also relating to Wisdom which is contemplated in the month of Cancer.
Master Djwhal Khul, in his Teachings, if I remember well, in Esoteric Astrology, he said that in future, this festival will be shifted to Leo. This is for some specific reasons. To bring down the Hierarchy into greater manifestation through the fixed cross and that has taken place in a greater measure from 1995.
That is what I have mentioned. So, 1995 means, it is already 25 years over and we are in the 26th year.

The year of manifestation is to make sure that the humanity falls in order with the plan so that the evolution which is obstructed by humanity is cleared. For that, Leo is picked up and Leo is the ruler. So far, the work is shifted even to the planes where governances take place. Leo. We have so many nations with Lion as their symbol. Leo is the principle of rulership and therefore, governances are being touched by the energies of Hierarchy besides touching various groups of aspirants. More and more leonine work is being manifested from Leo Festival. And in recent times, all Masters also have manifested in the month of Leo. Leo has its specialty.

The reason why I said was it is already said in the books of Master Djwhal Khul so that we pay attention to Leo festival as much as we pay attention to Cancer Festival. The idea is, responsibility is always there for personalities. We are all personalities in which the Soul is imprisoned. This is the normal state. When Soul mounts the personality, it is a state of Initiation. When Soul presides over personality and conducts work, it is a Knower at work. When Soul is subservient to the demands of personality, we are still in discipleship or studentship. So, we have to rise to the Leonine to rule our personality. Each one of us has a responsibility to set our personality in order and rule it. For that, the best month to relate to is Leo and the best day in the month is the Full Moon of Leo where you get that energy. That is why I suggested in 1998. From 1995, this work is picked up.

In fact, in 1995, if you remember well, we did one Leo Full moon seminar or group life in Central Germany and for the entire group life it was raining. Meaning, that we are not really prepared to receive that energy. The entire group life it was raining, raining, raining, raining. Nothing. It only shows that we are not yet ready to relate to the Full Moon of Leo but nevertheless, we should try to attempt to work with the qualities of Leo which gives you that keynote of ‘I rule myself. I let others rule themselves.’ That is the keynote of Leo. I rule myself. I let others rule themselves. I don’t let others rule me in as much as I don’t rule them. People are anxious to rule others. But they are seldom fit to rule themselves. A man who cannot rule himself how can he rule others. It is a nuisance to the other. Therefore, Leo is picked up as a basic platform upon which the self-rule system has to be established and make sure that you don’t rule others. You can be friendly to others. That is why teachers also have taken to different state of functioning.

Those in Hierarchy from long, long time, they did so. They remain friends.

Sahanav avatu. Let us be protected.
Sahanau bhunaktu. Let us enjoy together.
Saha Veeryam karavaavahai. Let us work together. Let us learn together. Everything is in togetherness- even between teacher and student.

These authoritarian teachers, they are Piscean. People who are authoritative, they are all very Piscean. They do not go very far. Therefore, this dimension was given at that time. I mentioned it but it was mentioned long ago by Master Djwhal Khul.
So please note that the person who raised this question- he should mind ruling himself first. If others want to be ruled by them, yes, be friendly and guide them. Don’t rule them because ruling is seen as a beastly quality in the path of Hierarchy. No one should rule the other because every soul is as much a Son of God as every other soul. If someone wants advice from you, give advice. Otherwise, remain friendly. Don’t try to impose yourself. Don’t try to impress yourself. Don’t try to influence others. Just live happily and if someone feels comfortable with you, share your wisdom with them. That is the way.”

Solstices and equinoxes are meant for attuning to the rhythm and beauty of nature and the subtle energies of time. Aligning ourselves helps to reorder our energies and become more integrated into the larger systems of creation.

Over the last 8 years, we have been gathering for summer solstice celebrations at the Paracelsus Center of WTT located at the birth place of Paracelsus next to a bridge across the Sihl river (known as Teufelsbrücke, Devil’s Bridge) near Einsiedeln, Switzerland.

This year, we were a small group of friends coming from Austria, South Germany and Switzerland. We again started with a fire ritual on the mountain ridge of the Etzel pass. It was a sublime ambiance at this silent place with a phantastic view to the surrounding hills and mountains.

Afterwards, in the Paracelsus Center, we contemplated on the solstice energies, did a little candle ritual and meditation and had an exchange on some spiritual topics. Of course, cooking and eating together also form part of the solstice gathering.

This year, the European Master CVV May Call Day celebration took place in Platja D’Aro, a coastal town in the province of Girona at the Costa Brava, Spain, from 27 – 31 May 2025. I travelled with a small group of friends, flying from Memmingen near Munich to Girona.

We flew one day earlier and stayed a few days afterwards. I share here some impressions from the journey. Note the observations at the end of the blogpost.

Some more members from Germany arrived in Girona around the same time. We rent cars for the group journeys and drove to Platja D’Aro. The huge hotel was located in a shopping area near a little marina. Boats in the harbour sleeping, many houses around nearly empty – pre-season time.

Next morning, our little group went to Girona for visiting the Cathedral, the Basilica San Feliu and the old town. Plenty of tourists were already filling the streets and parkings – and we among them. I had visited Girona and the cathedral on a group journey and with family. There is a magic of profound spiritual aspiration crystallised to stones and sacred art of earlier centuries, captured in huge church halls with coloured windows, altars and angels. Nature, the river, and the buildings around reflected a long history.

Tuesday afternoon, the May Call celebration started. There were over 180 members mainly from Spain but also from different European countries and from North and South America. A travel group of 16 members, together with Guru Prasad and his wife, had come from India, and they had visited several spiritually important places in Europe. The program of the group life had a good rhythm of meditations, lectures, and leisure time for exchanges and rest.

There were videos of Master KPK teaching and series of lectures by Guru Prasad on “The Yoga of Master CVV and its Practice” – all talks were with physical and zoom translation teams of members.

Wednesday evening, we had the meeting of the Executive and Advisory groups of WTT-Global, physical and via zoom – a technical challenge.

Besides the morning and evening meditations & noon alignments, there was a Water Ritual and a Fire Ritual with a marriage ceremony.

There were exchanges of gifts and presentations of books and of the Annual Report 2025 of WTT-Global.

There were several speeches by group members (here the text of the talk on “Brotherhood“). And, above all, there were many exchanges with other members during the whole group life, and very intense networking in a spirit of synthesis.

Soon the May Call time was already over and saying good-bye to the friends from the bigger group.
Our small travel group stayed together for a few more days in a nice apartment at Calella de Palafrugell at the Costa Brava. It was a beautiful little group life, after the bigger May Call group life, travelling, meditating, cooking, experiencing the surroundings together.

On 2 June, we made an excursion to the monastery of Montserrat. Many tourists were around. We tried to stay aligned to the sublime energy of the place.

Very early morning on the 4th, we returned via Girona back to Germany – jumping back into cold weather and another ambiance. At evening prayer time at the home of friends in the Lake Constance area, we saw a big wall of black clouds approaching. A dangerous thunderstorm was announced. Will it destroy the fruits and flowers in the garden and in the surroundings?

Two of us instinctively asked the Devas during meditation to let their energy come down in a soft way. Torrential rains came but nothing in the garden was destroyed – accidentally?
At the end of the meditation a bright ray of sunshine lightened the room – a sharp contrast to the nearby area of dark weather. We felt thankful for the blessing and protection during the journey.

Next day in the news, there was a report about the thunderstorm hitting the Allgäu and an emergency landing at the same airport where we had returned, with several persons hurt.

8th of May, the “White Lotus Day”, we commemorate Helena P. Blavatsky, the great pioneer of the Aquarian Age also lovingly called HPB. She taught us not to limit the Divinity to a name, or a form, or to a place, or to a time, but to lift the veil around the Truth and see the Divine everywhere:
“Truth is higher than Religion”.
Madam Blavatsky was the first one in the present era to bring out to the world the Truth about the Masters of Wisdom through her profound books and her courageous life.

Sri K. Parvathi Kumar (Master KPK) often spoke about the greatness of HPB and he gave several books about 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

You find here a biographical sketch about the life and work of HPB. And see below the words of Master KPK about Madam Blavatsky from a talk on 8th of May 2021. May we pay homage to her by practically integrating the wisdom into our lives. Have a good White Lotus Day!

“Today happens to be 8th May, the departure day of Madame Blavatsky recognised by the teachers who led her as the White Lotus Day.

Today, in the Brotherhood, White Lotus Day is celebrated in memory of Madame Blavatsky who offered herself to the humanity. Her offering was total.

The soul, the personality and the body were dedicated to the work of The Great White Brotherhood. More than the humanity, it is the White Brotherhood that lovingly and affectionately honour her for she has unveiled to humanity the Universal Wisdom so that people come out of their very narrow understanding of the energy which is called God and walk into that light which is Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnipresent.

Since we are all in form, we look to Divinity through form but the Divinity as such is beyond form, beyond name and even beyond time. The Veda contains this wisdom. The ancient theologies contain this wisdom. They try to give out the patterns in which this energy manifests through various laws of the universe such as the Law of Alternation, the Law of Pulsation, the Law of Involution, the Law of Evolution, the Law of Septenary manifestation and its gradual withdrawal into itself through cycles of time, the related science of utterance, the related science of contemplation and the related science of action in creation to experience, to evolve and then gain fulfilment.

The work of Madam Blavatsky is seen as a stupendous work carried out in the last part of the 19th century which has vibrated the planet. Thousands and thousands of groups have joined till date and it continues to be.

All that she contributed to humanity is recognised more by the Brotherhood than the humanity. It will take a long time for humanity to understand the great work that came through Madame Blavatsky.

We fondly remember her. She is the first one in the recent cycles of time that has unveiled the wisdom which is universal. It is not sectarian. It is not based upon limited thoughts about God.

In His memory we…we say, ‘His’ because even the Masters recognise her though in a female body, as a grand male that did a lot of work from the soul dimension. In His name we continue our Merry Life Teaching.”

June 24, there was a blogpost “The Paintings arrive at their Home” about bringing my paintings and related material to the farmhouse of my friends Ursula and Jesús, from the World Teacher Trust, near Murcia in Southern Spain.
And end of August 24, you could read a blogpost about “The Gallery of Synthesis in the Making“.

Together with friends, Jesús had intensely worked for 9 months to transform a huge all into the ‘Galería de Síntesis’. It was a great work of good will and selfless commitment. The Galería will be a place for meetings and wisdom teachings, also with the help of the paintings.

The Gallery of Synthesis now opens its doors on the 4th of May from 12:00 noon onwards in the Casa Vamsi, at Carril Hijastros n5, E-30161 Llano de Brujas, near Murcia, Spain. May the new Gallery inspire many seekers
