The World Mother is described as the Mother of Light and the Mother of Night. She presides over the interplay of spirit and matter and engages in the activity of creation. The Father stands as her background and provides support in her activities. Experiencing the Father is beyond consciousness.

The Veda says that the Father is reborn as Son through the Mother. The birth can happen in two ways: The descent of the Divine into a human form is called the principle of the avatar. A human being, a “son of man”, can also become a “Son of God” or a “Son of the Virgin” by purifying and transforming themselves through service and sacrifice to an extent that the Divine can express itself through them. This is the path of the initiates and Masters of Wisdom.

Virgo is symbolic of such a transformation of awakening to the subjective world happening in silence and darkness. Disciples enter into the inner cave of the heart to connect to the Divine in themselves. The Divine might descend into them by the grace of the Mother.

The divine Light has its shine; many images and idols of God are therefore made in white or in gold. The Dark of the Divine also has its shine; the shine of the black is profound. Krishna as an avatar is described as dark, meaning he is so imperceptible and deep that we can merge into him and enter into Samadhi. Black Madonnas have the same shine of the Dark.

For designing the painting, I used the photo of a black Madonna with a black child from a basilica in Girona, Spain, adding shining eyes. In the background you see schemes of a painting of Gayatri indicating the various shades of divine Light. They are surrounded by a rainbow circle symbolising the seven colours and planes of creation. They are further surrounded by elements of a dark flower and of stars hinting at the work of time in space.

25 August we celebrate the 142nd (Indian counting 143rd) birthday of Master MN (Sri Mynampati Narasimham). He was born 1883 in Naidupeta, a village in Andhra Pradesh, India, and passed over 11 March 1940.

Extract from the talk of Master KPK about Master MN during the Master MN Birthday Celebration 2022.

“Master MN is one who followed the yoga given by Master CVV to the dot without any deviations. The main aspect of Master CVV yoga is prayer in which we invoke the mantra “Namaskarams Master”. When this is invoked, there is an energy which starts working with you. It is the energy of Varuna, also referred to as ‘the ray of Uranus’. It touches you when you invoke the mantra and that starts working in you like an electric current. Initially you will not know what it does or how it does. It works on your personality in a soft and subtle manner. When this current is working in you after invocation, you will not be able to open your eyes. So that is a litmus test to whether prayer is happening or not. The duration for which the work happens will vary from day to day as it is decided by that energy. It gradually gains control over your personality and it adds to the strength of the personality. It will prevent your personality from doing anything which is not suitable for your progress. It gradually leads to your fulfilment in all aspects.

Master MN was so intense with his practice he could reach a fulfilled state in just 12 years. He experienced immortality and even wilfully departed from the form. That is why he is so special in this yoga and Master EK told us to recollect him along with Master CVV.

This energy of Varuna will adjust your worldly life so much that you will be able to do only what it permits. It does not permit you to do anything that hinders your progress in path. You may not be aware of it but if something does not happen, you should learn to accept it. Gradually you will get clear instructions on what you need to do on a daily basis. You speak only when you need to speak and you also receive from above what is to be spoken. If someone comes to you with a question, you will receive an answer to that from within if you remain silent. Once you receive it, just say it without quoting the Master because the Master does not like it. Just say it as if you are saying it. This is something to be strictly followed otherwise there can be repercussions as well. You will have a direct link to the Master but that does not mean you quote him in everything you do or speak. Master MN in Ongole had such a direct link with Master CVV Kumbakonam. It is like one awareness pervades two bodies. When Master CVV thinks that Master MN should do something, immediately Master MN gets a thought that he should do that. Remember that this is not the awareness of Master CVV but it is the all-pervading awareness which is also present in Master CVV. The names and forms generally confuse us about this aspect. Once the same awareness pervades you, you will know and hear things very clearly. There will be no confusion or doubt about it. That is how books were dictated to Master EK with so much clarity. So the awareness of this energy is way beyond our comprehension and it pervades everything. It is the awareness of THAT itself. There is nothing that it does not know and it can reveal anything to you if it decides to.”

It is good to remember the birthdays of great souls – this inspires us and gives us strength and orientation in the times of crises.
And the birthdays of this blogpost remind me of the profound impact in my life – unfolding and growing very slowly over 4-5 decades since I first heard of them. It took me a long time to sense a bit of the greatness of these messengers of Spiritual Hierarchy. It might take you 5-7 minutes to read the text – and how long to sense their impact?

11th and 12th of August, we celebrate the birthdays of Master EK and Madame Blavatsky.
This year, it is the 100th Anniversary of Master EK as per Indian counting and the 99th as per Western counting.
Master EK was born on 11 August 1926 during the evening hours at about 5:30 pm. Madame Blavatsky was born 95 years earlier, on 12 August 1831, in the night hours about 2:00 am. According to ancient tradition the day starts at sunrise , and we therefore, commemorate their birthdays together.
Both of them keep on enlightening humanity through their teachings and their fiery aspiration.

Below is first an extract of Master KPK speaking at the May Call celebration 2011 about Master EK, telling some profound wisdom anecdotes. And afterwards some extracts from Master KPK’s talk at Master EK’s and Madam HPB’s birthday celebrations 2015.
Master KPK concluded the talk with the following words which might guide our relating to these birthday celebrations:
“So by reading or listening to such incidents, we gain the presence of the Masters and Madam HPB. There is a lot that one can know about her. Reading the books she wrote is very difficult but knowing about her is easier. Let us go into sleep today by remaining in the presence of Master EK and Madam HPB. Entering into Divinity should be our aim and we should try to strive towards it relentlessly. May we all move in that direction.”

Teaching through stories: Master KPK speaking about Master EK at the May Call celebration 2011

At one time Master EK wanted to write a book on Tantra. There is an encyclopaedia of Tantra with thousands of slokas. He taught it to students, they lost interest. He stopped teaching them.
When he taught he also prepared the notes for the whole text. After 15, 20 years someone asked him, “Why did you not complete?” – “It was only demanded to that extend, and therefore it only came to that extend.” People asked, “Would it not be nice to add the 960 and make a book?” – “Whatever is taught is ignored; still to me it is nice. I am not worried. Those who receive forget, I am not worried.”

That is how neutrality teaches us detachment. You do with full intent every little act you do. Either fruition or non-fruition, you leave it to Brahman, it is His will. “Father, thy will be done.”
When students ask for wisdom, keep it as the Will of the Divine. When students disappeared, he took it as the Will of the Divine. Students are generally too enthusiastic. They drop away half of the way.

Once I saw him teaching to 3 or 4 old ladies who did not understand anything. I saw him teaching to them like to a crowd. I asked him, “Master why do you do it?”
He said, “Young men asked me to teach this, they left. Now, there are left these three old ladies, but for me it is the will of the divine.”

All his interactions are related to the divine, not to him. How beautiful it is: “Even if there is just one, I will teach. If the one is not there, the divine says, No thank you.”

To be available is the program of the yogi. It is the will of the divine that motivates him. The second principle is the essence of the whole wisdom.

Why am I saying it? We don’t have to create consequences when they come to us. We have to learn. We learn tolerance, patience, poise, and we remain equally poised.

Once he went to the seaside in Visakhapatnam. We were engaged in some conversation. On the seaside there were some people selling food. Normally we don’t eat, but one vendor came up to us and said, “Why don’t you buy some of these eatables?” I asked the Master, “Can we buy?” He said, “Yes we do. Not that we need food, but he needs money.”
So he bought something. As we were sitting and eating, a dog came; he was looking at us.
The Master said, “Let us feed the dog, the dog asks us.”
The divine used the yogi to feed the dog who needed food.

Extracts from Master KPK’s talk at the Master EK’s and Madam HPB’s Birthday Celebrations 2015

If we look at the writings of Master EK, it seems amazing because he never planned to write a book on his own. He just wrote what he received from higher circles. Sometimes he used to look at a wall and dictate. When I asked Master, what was there, he replied “There are two ways of impressional writings. One is, I see a script before me and I just read it out and a copy is made. The other is, a scene may appear and I describe it.”

When the wisdom used to come is unknown. It used to even come suddenly and he used to find a person to take the dictation. He used to tell, “It is not Krishnamacharya writing. If Krishnamacharya is writing, he would have written many books by now. I am just a medium to what I receive from higher circles. I stopped writing on my own from the time I came in touch with the Grand Masters.” Such books remain for centuries together with no expiry.

They were all impressional teachings. It is possible because they remain in alignment with the Divine at all times. Madam HPB and Madam Bailey too wrote and taught in a similar manner. It comes fresh then and there. The higher prevails over the lower and the teaching happens.

When Master EK wrote a book for the first time, he asked for an opinion from some eminent people in the society. Later, Master EK wrote in his book a word from his Master “This is the first and last warning. Never ask for an opinion on what you write. These are not written by you. They came through you.” Master EK wrote on a wide range of topics of wisdom in both Telugu and English.

There are more than 3000 groups which follow the teachings of Madam HPB in the world at present. In future, her greatness will be known better and her work will come more into light. She is the gateway for the wisdom required for the new age. Due to Master EK, we came to know of her and many other Grand Masters. We have the pictures of Lord Maitreya, Master Maruvu (Master Morya) and Master Devapi (Master Koot Hoomi) and they were introduced to us by Master EK. He introduced them to us on his birthday in 1971 for the first time and showed us their pictures. He gave details about them and said that WTT was established to take part in their work to some extent. From 1972 Gurupujas, their pictures were being placed on the altar.

So by reading or listening to such incidents, we gain the presence of the Masters and Madam HPB. There is a lot that one can know about her. Reading the books she wrote is very difficult but knowing about her is easier. Let us go into sleep today by remaining in the presence of Master EK and Madam HPB. Entering into Divinity should be our aim and we should try to strive towards it relentlessly. May we all move in that direction.

P.S., 11 August 2025: Please find here the program of the Master EK Birth Centenary Celebrations 2025-26 – an overview of the global activities – published today.

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.”

August 4th, we commemorate the birthday of Master CVV (1868-1922), the great Master who anchored the Aquarian energy on our planet. This year is his 157th birthday as per Western counting. As per Indian counting, we now celebrate his 157th birthday.

Master CVV gave out a New Yoga, which gave a new impetus for the evolution of life. It works to hasten the process of evolution. During the Master CVV’s Birthday Celebrations on 04th of August 2015, Master Parvathi Kumar spoke about this New Age Yoga:

“Master CVV said that this is a path of direct knowledge. You cannot follow it blindly. There is no scope for superstitions in this path. While you walk the path sincerely, you also grow in knowledge gradually. You realise the truth of creation that you are a Divine entity. All the bondages that you are stuck in, are gradually eliminated. Otherwise, they create lot of pain at the time of your departure. Due to those bondages, you will not be able to find an exit from this body when the time of departure comes and as result you have to be pulled out which is very painfully.

So knowing the entry into activities is not sufficient. You must know the exit out of everything. If you take up a work, you should know how to come out of it or hand it over to someone else. There are people who hold onto activities for decades together even if they are not in a position to discharge those activities properly. Then time has to interfere and bring you out of the work.

So here is a new age Yoga. Yoga is ancient but the method is new. In the 6th step of Yoga, one attains immortality. Master CVV takes us to that step effortlessly if we follow his instructions sincerely.
We should display our sincerity, aspiration and dedication towards the path through regular and sincere prayers. Master will then be convinced that we are sincere in our aspiration and would grace with lot of knowledge from within.

Knowledge will gradually lead to liberation because knowledge is like fire and it burns away all bondages.
One may start getting instructions from within which are to be noted and to be followed without any exceptions. Inspirational teachings and writings happen. Spiritual Astrology and Spiritual Psychology were dictated to Master EK by Master CVV from within. That is why Master EK writes in those books ‘These are from those who I follow to those who follow me.’ “

You find more information about Master CVV, his life and teachings on the WTT website.

Here is an easy introduction to the life of Master CVV – a story book in carton format: “Master CVV – The Aquarian Master, who showed the path of Immortality”, available in English, Telugu and Kannada languages.

You might not have heard about “micro rituals” -no wonder, that’s how I call self-created little rituals of different kind. I know many here in the West are allergic to rituals – rituals are often associated with the pomp and the old-fashioned forms of a spirituality of the past. However, we are now in a time of the incoming Seventh Ray of rhythm and order, of white magical transformation, coming in with fresh energies.
You can forget any lengthy and complicated papers and explanations when it comes to micro rituals. They are something I like to do – and you might like them, too, or already do them without coining them as “micro rituals”:

Whenever you like to repeat something in a regular and rhythmic way, it might already be a micro ritual. It can be in many forms of everyday life, for example how you keep order in the kitchen or bathroom with some loving care to the order. It might become a ritual when you do it with attention and awareness, not just automatically. Done automatically, it is on the way of becoming crystalized – the danger and death of any ritualistic activity.
You can keep it alive with maintaining awareness of the presence of suble energies.

It might be the way you water your flowers, or lighten a candle, or how you decorate a little altar. Micro rituals should bring some shine into your life. In 2005, after a long marriage ritual in Visakhapatnam, Master Kumar told us that doing these rituals manifests some light and magnetism in the surroundings which you cannot manifest otherwise -and all of us had strongly felt this.

The magnetic impact can also be felt and manifested in miniature form with a micro ritual. What is important is to inwardly align with it to the subtle world, to the divine, to the greater whole. When you are aware of the beauty and magnetism of what you are doing as a micro ritual, it manifests in your surroundings.

I like doing regularly short visualisations or the short version of the fire ritual. I created some rituals myself, like a little fire ritual when outside it is raining, using seven candles. Just do your own experiments -it needs perseverance our of free will and maintaining a rhythm over a longer time without feeling any inner pressure to do so, like watering a flower on a specific day at a specific time. (I water a flower every Saturday morning.) After some time you will start liking it and it becomes part of your inner rhythm, of your life.

No time for this? Having “no time” is having “no will for this”. Creating a short space in time is part of the subtle mobilising of the will through love. If you love it you will find time to do it. Otherwise better leave it. Will you then have more time? For what? It creates some white magic in life by doing micro rituals.

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.”

Journey Part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, Summary: Planetary Healing Center – Office of Rao and Kumar – Journey back home

Immediately after the Guru Pujas, many members started their return journeys. A small group stayed a little longer. For 14th of January, we organised a bus to go together to the Planetary Healing Center outside Visakhapatnam like in other years. This is the name, Master Kumar gave to this beautiful place which had been designed by him and inaugurated in 1995. He spoke about the importance of the place in January 2013:

„The centre is built with the inspiration of the Greek healer Asclepius in 1991. Asclepius was a great healer and he cured many incurable cases. He had a centre in the nature where he was healing and teaching. There were people coming to get cured in the healing centre. Three days and three nights the people were put to healing and were also given food that he distributed.
I was so inspired in Greece that when I came back to India a person wanted to have a good service activity I thought that we could do a similar work here and it was found in contemplation that this place was earlier used by a great saint who left healing energy in the place. It is also believed that in this state there is a snake with a gem in the hood. The place is dedicated to the Sun God. The temple is seven times 7 feet in diameters and 7 times 7 high and again a 7 feet cupola. Inside the temple there are 7 circles where you can sit and meditate. In the centre the pillar is of 7 inches. In the place there is a sphere from Iguazu falls. We got it here at 1st January 1995 and the temple was inaugurated. People come and meditate here. The only sound used in the temple is the sacred sound OM. Every year we do a class here, we pray and have our food to relate to the place.”

However, this was the last visit of the Master. In 2013/14, a cyclone had devastated the place and the orientation of the owner of the site who built it took a bit another direction. It is now well maintained; the name on Google maps, however, has been changed to “Harmony Center”, a change of orientation. It is difficult to find. There have grown plenty of buildings in the surrounding, while the place itself is like an island of peace.

We first went to the Maitreya statue and sat there for a short meditation and alignment and we then listend to the sound of OM inside the pyramidal temple.

We had a little walk along the ocean. Then, the bus then brought us to “Rao and Kumar“, the office which Master Kumar had develop to a leading enterprise of Chartered Accountants. It is now directed by a team of collaborators, among them Guru Prasad, the son of the late Master. He already waited there for us.

In front of the entrance, there is a statue of Lord Ganesha / Ganapati. I asked him to speak about the symbolism of the rat, Ganesha’s mount – he gave an interesting extempore talk: Wisdom (Ganesha) needs to control the clever mind which can cause havoc when left alone.

He showed us the rooms and explained how Master Kumar had been living and working, giving us fascinating insights in little details of the Master’s life.

For example: Since his youth, Master Kumar often walked even long distances. In school time, he recapitulated during walking what he had learned and what tasks were to do. This habit he kept over years. When he had to go to a place, he always walked there by foot, it was a walking meditation. When people ask him how he did come, he said, ‘By number 11’. People thought, maybe he came by bus. It was not a bus. “11” symbolised the two feet walking.

Our flight back started on 15th of January. Via Hyderabad and Abu Dhabi I returned back to Switzerland.

Journey Part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, Summary

The Master CVV Guru Puja celebrations started on January 10th in the evening. I already went there two hours before the start of the celebration to meet friends and to observe how the site was being put up with many volunteers helping to set up the hall and the altar, beautifully arranging the images of the Masters with many flower garlands.

As always, there are three great rituals during the Guru Pujas. On Jan. 11th, it started with the Water Ritual, singing hymns to Rudra.

At the second day, there was the puja to the Divine Mother, the Lalita Puja conducted by women only.

On the third day there was the great Fire Ritual.

During the Guru Pujas were given many talks, book publications and also musical presentations.

12th of January, there was the Fusion of East and West function, where members of the Western Brotherhood were invited to the stage for the morning prayer and also sang the Aswins hymn together which we had learnt during the group living. Later, four members were invited to speak to the groups.

I gave a talk about “The Sprouting of Spiritual Seeds. Time Cycles, Centennial Conclaves of Spiritual Hierarchy and the Importance of the Year 2025” (24 min). Activate ‘Subtitles’ in YouTube for a better understanding, download here the subtitles transcript of the talk.)

It was a very joyful and inspiring gathering.
