Yesterday afternoon, I received an e-mail from a source unknown to me until then via 4 of my e-mail accounts (links in the text are from me): “Attention Request: A Proposal for Spiritual Diplomacy: Scaling the Sripada Srivallabha Charitamrutam Readings in Europe”, the long text being in English and German (here as a PDF).

I noticed that it contained a serious concern, was astonished about the name “Rhibus Solapur, In Association with Rhibus Sciences & Tech“) but the name Solapur flashed through my mind: December 2024, I had been in the neighbour town Akkalkot, together with four friends, on a tour to places related to incarnations of Lord Dattatreya. I wrote a quick reception confirmation and welcome and that I would reply later. And I shared the e-mail with the members of our bi-weekly online study group “Sripada Srivallabha Charitamrutam“, which was meeting yesterday evening. The group is reading the book now for the 3rd time, and I wanted to exchange with them about the e-mail. And just now, mid October 2024, 12 years ago, I came into contact with this book in a mysterious way. And it had changed my life.

In the evening, I read the e-mail, we spoke about it in the group when the members felt touched about the proposal. And later, I shared the e-mail with other friends in German and English, who had helped with the publication of the Sripada biography in the various 4 languages where I was involved in the publications. Still I don’t yet know what to do with the appeal the e-mail contains – in view of the tiny group I am in contact with and the living conditions here in Europe / the West.

Here are extracts from this e-mail:

“We are writing to share a perspective on spiritual exploration and conflict resolution, inspired by your profound work in translating the Sripada Srivallabha Charitamrutam into German.

To introduce this idea, we would like to offer a simple analogy based on how we experience food. Even when we deeply love and prefer the home-cooked food of our native land, we still choose to eat food from other nations. Interestingly, these global dishes are often made from the exact same foundational ingredients—like the basic wheat and rice grown in our own host region. However, a foreign dish introduces a completely different “sequence” of impact on our taste buds, altering how the nutrition enters and is absorbed by the body.

In the exact same way, “God is One.” The foundational source is identical. Yet, approaching the Divine through an alternative route or text changes the “sequence” of our internal spiritual experience. Doing so yields entirely new, verifiable experiential results that can be observed and recorded. Experiencing a different spiritual path does not mean abandoning one’s own; just as home food remains primary to a person, one’s primary belief system remains entirely intact.

We have seen the practical, societal power of this concept in India. When the Sripada Srivallabha Charitamrutam was read collectively by masses of people in regions experiencing high conflict, it shifted the subtle energies of those areas. The collective reading clicked entirely new ideas, fresh perspectives, and innovative conversation techniques among the people, effectively helping to resolve deep-seated frictions...

Currently, there is considerable friction happening around the European area. Given these global tensions, it presents a vital opportunity for a spiritual experiment. If believers across Europe—regardless of their primary religious upbringing—were to come together occasionally in great numbers to read the Sripada Srivallabha Charitamrutam, we could actively record the results.

The outcomes of such mass readings are bound to be deeply positive. As numbers of people gather with a unified focus, it can click greater ideas, soften hearts, and open unexpected routes of diplomacy where political channels have stalled.

Given the current geopolitical climate in Europe, this is perhaps the rightest time to try this experiment in great numbers and verify the transformative results. We would love to hear your thoughts on how the WTT network or local circles might facilitate such collective readings as a tool for peace.“

Yesterday morning, I had read a fascinating interview in our regional newspaper “Der Bund” about Maoz Inon from Israel and Aziz Abu Sarah from Palestine working together to convince the world of a peaceful solution in the Middle East. They have a very touching story, having overcome the anger that had dominated their lives lives (I got it automatically translated for some friends). They had published a book called The Future is Peace, now published in German, they had appearances at the UN, in parliaments, and on media and television channels worldwide. And they had a very practical approach to peace. It felt the same when reading the proposal from the Indian e-mail .

I do not know a way of organising such “mass readings” of the Sripada biography but I experience an energetic magic each time we meet in our small group (or other spiritual study groups). There is a higher vibration present uplifting us and spreading in the surroundings. 45 years ago, I had participated in some huge “World Peace” meditations to cause a change in global trends, and they tried to even measure the impact. Whatever is being done by way of regular prayer and alignment to the divine is certainly the much more effective solution than spreading hate, fake information or terror.

As Maoz Inon said in the interview, if what they do in working for peace is naïve: “After all, to believe that bombs will bring peace or that war creates security is even more naïve. That hasn’t worked since the Second World War – neither in Iraq nor in Afghanistan, Libya, Syria or Vietnam.”

May Peace prevail on Earth 🌿🌿🌿

Yesterday, Sunday 31 August 2025, we celebrated the anniversary “42 Years of The World Teacher Trust-Global”, with the motto “Wisdom is the skill of relating” – a statement of Master KPK. The last months, I was much involved with planning and organising this global event transmitted via Zoom, with physical and virtual meetings.

There were three presentations of inspiring projects and initiatives from different parts of the globe. First, about “Mithila Vidyalayam” – setting up schools and providing value based education to children in slum/rural areas, incl. a video presentation by B.R.K. Raju (Navaneetham), the secretary of WTT-India and the Circle of Goodwill, India.

Then there was a presentation y Gabi Pares, Spain of “Buena Voluntad en Acción“, or in Catalan, “Bona Voluntad en acció” (Good Will in Action) – a volunteer-based association in Barcelona, Spain, which promotes the inclusion of socially excluded people.

And finally of “ANIMA” – a supranational group and an open channel for sharing wisdom teachings via student-to-student videos, in Spanish and English. The presentation was done by Maxim Verbist, Montreal, and, in the background, by Joan de Bes form Barcelona – the video about Anima was done by Sandra Mabel from Olavarría, Southern Argentina. A very nice and inspired team.

Guru Prasad Kambhampati, the President of WTT-Global, from Visakhapatnam, India, gave an introduction and a closing talk. Frank Berger, a guitarist from Berlin, contributed the musical framework with little “Musical Precipitation of Master Messages”. And I spoke about “Developing the skill of relating”, presented the contributions and guided through the program. There were about 100 people participating from various parts of the globe.

You find the recording in the YouTube channel of the World Teacher Trust or below. If you are interested, you can also subscribe to the Telegram channel of WTT-Global to stay informed.

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

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!

It was 1st of January 2020 in Visakhapatnam, India. In a talk with Master KPK, I spoke to him about the need of creating a digital archive to collect all video and audio material, publications and transcriptions and relevant photo material related to the World Teacher Trust, meaning mainly the work of Master EK and Master KPK. At that time, the material was dispersed on various personal computers and hard-disks. He agreed and found it an important idea.

9 months later, the archive project was started with a team of 7 members – highly qualified, living in different corners of the globe. In the meanwhile, it was Corona time. The need for digital collaboration had highly increased – and there was time for these members to come together – their jobs were on “home office”. For about 2 years, we followed an intense rhythm of meetings, of concept-discussions and of building up a cloud-based archive structure. And then we collected many terabytes of material, mainly saving video recordings from seminars and teachings in various languages.

I asked Master KPK to give a name to this archive. He said “Kombo Cave”. I didn’t understand what it means; and I didn’t find anything on the web. So, I asked again. He answered: “Kombo Cave is the name of the cave where the scrolls of wisdom of Pythagoras were stored – but don’t ask me more.” I understood. We named the cloud archives Kombo Cave. And: “Inspired by the lives and teachings of the great Teachers of Eternal Wisdom”.

It is non-public, just for those who work with the material. Later, an area is planned to be made accessible to interested seekers – but we are not yet there. The cloud space, however, gives possibilities for certain group collaborations.

When Corona started to recede, the personal job work load of the team members increased again. It became more difficult to continue with the pace of the free goodwill work for the archives. We did some re-structuring. Video editing – in a team work – takes a lot of time; qualified members capable of doing such work are very rare (video consumers are plenty….).

We searched for other ways. We wanted high quality, not quick “social media friendly video spots” but videos with wisdom teachings for seekers. It is a different level.

It took quite some time to create the intro and outro templates for the videos, with the motive “sunrise and sunset at the Master Mountain in the Nilagiris“, for the titles, with the right music. We finally found a very experienced Indian bamboo flute player to give some sequences from the “Maitreya song”.

For bringing out these videos, we just prepared a YouTube video channel for the WTT-Global and have taken over another channel, where several videos about Master KPK’s teachings etc. had been published already previously. We did a re-branding to give it a new outlook. The address of the new channel is https://www.youtube.com/@WTT-Global.

Now, in time for Libra Equinox, the video “Autumn Equinox Discourse” by Master KPK, September 21 2020, (59 min.) has just been published on YouTube. It is the first video publication with the new design. Other videos are soon ready to be published.

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.

Blogpost about sport, art and religion

At the moment, the attention of media and of millions of people is focused on Qatar and the FIFA World Cup. Without a particular interest in football, I therefore have also followed this global phenomenon a little. In meditation this morning I remembered that I had read an article a week ago:

In “Das Magazin“, a weekend supplement of our regional Swiss newspaper, a writer made fun of an installation by the Berlin-based world-class Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Elisasson, who had realised circular mirrors in the Qatar desert. The writer found it “completely ballaballa”, meaning crazy. It somehow caught my attention: In a video presentation about my paintings (Creativity and Originality), I mentioned Elíasson and his work.

I found it interesting: In the past, art and religion have been closely associated. Religion and art have much changed their roles and both have become much more mundane in most of their expressions. For millions of people sport has taken over the role of religion:

Quasi-religious fervour of ascetic aspiration in a hatha-yogic style drives athletes’ and sportsmen’s /sportswomen’s devotion to extreme efforts in their training to strive for their very highest. And huge crowds of people gather in the cathedrals and temples of sport for their quasi-religious devotional celebrations – at the moment, in Qatar’s soccer arenas. There are also very many sects and beliefs among the followers. A gigantic effort was made to hold the big celebrations in a desert state. Many discuss the sense and nonsense of such events. Some avoid them, others travel there to participate.

When Eliásson now says in his artistic and context statements that “There is no artistic connection between my sculpture and the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022”, this might be his intention and understanding but the exhibition is financed and organized by the state of Qatar and the opening of the exhibition coincides with the FIFA World Cup – “honni soit qui mal y pense“.

Here are the photos of the circular mirror installations in the desert, reminiscent of the ball religion celebrated nearby in football stadiums. The ball, the sphere, the circle are deeply occult symbols of the world, of creation. May the world’s attention go beyond the mundane levels to understand and practise the deeper spiritual aspiration to the highest and thus gain the experience of bliss, mundanely aspired by sport.

This morning, Master Kumar wrote in a chat:
India’s Proud Moment!
Rushi Sanak becoming UK’s Prime Minister!
He is just 42 yrs. We pray for his success.

India has all reasons to be proud that Rishi Sunak, a son of Mother India, is getting Prime Minister of Great Britain, after a long and painful history, where people of colour and of colonies were not seen as full humans while seeing oneself as superior.

May right human relations and inclusion be the basis of growth, also internationally.

My mother once told me that when I was a child she asked me to pick up something on the floor which I had thrown there. I didn’t want and replied: “I cannot, my arms are too short.”

This became an iconic example for self-excuses. It comes to my mind in cases of my own self-excuses and when coming across others’ expressing their inability to do something. Often it is a self-fooling and trying to hide one’s unwillingness. In such cases, my wife and I use to say, “Yes, the arms are too short.”

Such twisting is not as negligible as it might appear at first sight. It causes inner twists leading to distortions in our perception and to character flaws. And these again, are boulders on the spiritual path.

I recently came across a person having problems with a neighbour for years. The problem was, of course, seen as being with the neighbour, and there was no chance of changing the situation. So she said: “They say it’s all part of the Divine Plan. My view is that the Plan must have flaws.”

We usually project the sources of problems to the outside, to other people or outer situations, neglecting to start with ourselves. So I replied, “Sorry to say so, but it is your view of the Plan where the flaws are.”
