The initiative of some group members to offer annual meetings for meditation and alignment to the Master Energy started in Aquarius 2010. A few years later, it shifted to the time around spring equinox. First, there was a meeting once a year. Since several years now, there have been meetings for “CVV Sharing” group livings around the two equinoxes of the year. The meeting in springtime is on the countryside, the autumn meeting is in a quiet oasis of a Tai Chi centre in Hamburg Altona. I have been participating over a decade in the springtime meetings, and once in Corona time in Hamburg.

Like in the previous years, we again met this springtime for a four-day group living at the Seminarhof Drawehn in Kassau, in the Wendland region of northern Germany, from Tuesday, 18 March to Friday, 21 March, 2025.
We came from different parts of Germany and Switzerland. We were 22 adult persons (with last-minute changes) and a child, and we were brought together in the spirit of the One Master Energy.

The motto of the CVV Sharings is “Experiment, Experience, Expression”, and the motto for the present meeting was “To step back in our own consciousness in order to comprehend better, is a step to synthesis.”
At the meeting, we follow a 3 hour rhythm of meditation and linking up to the Master energy. This facilitates building and containing the energy field within which the group work is carried out.

We prepared and organized the meeting as a team of 6 persons. However we decided this year to prepare only the framework structure of the meeting but let the actual group decide about the content with a process called “consensualising” – forming a consensus about the main content blocks through inputs from the group. We had prepared some proposals but wanted the group to bring in their ideas first.

There is a round meditation and meeting hall with a labyrinth garden outside. The hall has a spiral shaped dome roof cupola and large windows to the surrounding.

During the process of consensualising, all proposals coming from the group members are noted on a chart. Afterwards, all members show with their fingers if they totally agree (hands closed) or totally reject (hands open) or their degree of acceptance with the number of fingers shown. These numbers are counted as per each proposal. The lower the number, the higher the acceptance. (In the case of 10 fingers/hands open, the topic is looked at closer to understand better the reason and to integrate, not to exclude – in one case in our process, there was a misunderstanding which could easily be clarified.)
From these, we chose the proposals for the main gatherings on Wednesday and Thursday. It was an intense and integrative process but fascinating to participate and witness the general participation.

We had inspiring exchanges in the plenary group or in small sub-groups. There was also enough time for walks in the beautiful nature or during the meals – with an excellent vegetarian / vegan kitchen.

Wednesday evening, Frank, the guitar teacher / musician from Berlin gave a beautiful concert.

Nature presented gorgeous sunrises and beautiful colour plays especially around the time of morning meditations.

Benjamin, our astrologer-mythologist from Munich, told a story from Greek mythology to tune us in to the time of spring equinox.

Thursday morning, we had a little fire ritual outside. It was freezing but the magic of the morning sun together with the rising flames and the invocations created an energy-charged ambiance.

At the time of equinox, we aligned to the energy of Aries and the global groups with a longer meditation.

Friday morning quickly approached – a last group exchange, saying good-bye and starting our journeys back home.

We had to leave a little earlier than in other years. So I arrived at the home of my friends in Kassel also earlier. The weather was clear and we used the time for a visit of the huge Hercules monument (built from 1701 to 1717) at Wilhelmshöhe as a gorgeous setting for our first exchange. Others followed in the evening.

Saturday, I continued the journey back, having a stop in Baden-Baden at the apartment of Paul and Brigitta near the mount Merkur, very early members of the WTT. Late in the night, I arrived back home in Switzerland.

A good friend of mine shared the following experience. which I am publishing here with his consent:

Before I leave this body, I have decided to share two experiences I had some years ago in the hope that it might be of value to others in the WTT. The first experience was in the nature of a very vivid vision. The vision was of a cross. The horizontal member of the cross consisted of several silver-colored bars or lines. The vertical member consisted of several gold-colored bars or lines. The two members intersected at the middle creating a woven effect. I called the cross the woven cross. Not knowing what the meaning of this symbol was, I asked Master Kumar. He told me that it was the symbol of “Cosmic Vishnu.”

As I meditated upon this symbol over time, I was inspired to add to the visualization the Mantram given to us by KPK which reads “Mind and Wisdom Married” (Occult Meditations, 81). Over time more of its meaning came to me. The silver lines (I visualized the two members as having 7 bars or lines) was the mental plane and the golden member was the Buddhic or Wisdom plane.

So too, I came to realize that the intersection of the two, mind and wisdom, occurred at the Ajna Center and related to the Pineal Gland or the marriage of the Pituitary and the Pineal. This marriage was very much the work of humanity in the particular epic. And also symbolized the work leading to the third initiation or the first “hierarchical initiation.” It is the experience of the coming down of the Soul’s Wisdom into the Mental Plane of the human.

My friend Ed created the symbol for me. Though not exactly what I saw, it gives the idea of the Woven Cross of Vishnu. See the attached below.

Another experience that occurred in the same time frame was that of an encounter with the Christ. The vision was of Lord Krishna. He was indescribably beautiful and glorious. Again, for some time I pondered on why this vision was given in meditation. Then I came across a teaching given by Rudolf Steiner known as The Reappearance of Christ in the Etheric, given January 25, 1910. In this teaching Steiner describes how a disciple in the present Aquarian Age may have the experience of seeing the Christ wearing the Etheric Body of Krishna, Master KPK has given us this same teaching. As with the experience of the woven cross this experience would seem to also correlate with the third initiation as the Christ, or Lord Maitreya, becoming a part of our very nature.

May these experiences be of use to others in their own understanding.

Namaste,

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.
