Picture to the month of Virgo

Virgo stands for the purity and sublimity of virginal nature. The soul can shine through pure matter and let the splendour of its light radiate. It is through the soul that the light of universal consciousness, also known as the World Mother, makes its appearance.

In Eastern wisdom, the light of the soul is also called Buddhi and the soul itself is called Atma, the I AM. The light of Virgo is described as the pure, milky-white light from which the brilliance of the rainbow colours emerges. The interpenetration of creation with universal consciousness is symbolised by the Sri Yantra. It is a symbol of sacred geometry which contains 45 triangles.

In Western astrological symbolism in earlier centuries, Virgo and its supernatural nature were often represented by an angel. Late summer is characterised by Virgo’s golden light, a time when the fruits of nature are harvested.

To illustrate this symbolism, I merged the photo of a fruit-bearing apple tree, where the glow of the white sunlight iridesced into multicoloured rays, with a photo of glowing apples. I superimposed the edited image of a Sri Yantra.

For the angel of the Virgo symbol, I reworked the etching by Jacob de Gheyn II (ca. 1565 -1629) on the constellation of Virgo from Hugo Grotius‘ book ‘Syntagma Arateorum‘ from 1600. The female angel figure now carries in her right hand a lily, symbolising purity, and in her left hand a staff of Hermes/Mercury, symbolising Mercury, the ruler of the sign of Virgo.

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.

Leo is the royal sign that embodies noblesse and dignity and it bestows the power to rule and protect. Many kings chose the lion as their national symbol. Leo is also a sign of initiation; the first step is to rule ourselves and allow others to rule themselves. Symbolically, the lion of the personality must be killed in the cave of the heart so that the Son of God can be born.

Many great teachers like Master EK, Master MN, Master CVV, Madame Blavatsky, Sri Aurobindo and especially Lord Krishna were born in the month of Leo to enlighten humanity and show the way to the kingdom of God.

When many people come together in a joint spiritual alignment, a field builds up as a vessel into which high energies can flow and manifest in this way. Even though individuals may not realise it, this raises the consciousness of all, and there is also a strong impulse into the larger collective consciousness. Such an influx of energy is much greater than is possible for individuals. This field of consciousness is not limited to a time of meditation, but is also expressed in being together and, even more profoundly, in greater co-operation.

In ancient times in the East, sages and their disciples would come together for long periods of meditation, ritual and sharing of wisdom teachings. In modern times, people meet for group livings with a spiritual orientation. They are often brought together by a teacher, but also through the power of collective group action.

In the centre of the picture you can see the influx of energy in both a vertical and horizontal direction, represented by the reflection of sunlight in camera shots. The ray of light begins at the cosmic level and anchors in the physical level. The upper background shows the petals of a lotus flower, a symbol of the unfoldment of consciousness. The power of group inspiration is depicted in the lower half.

For the design of the lower half, I combined elements from three photos of different group livings. In the foreground you can see the scene of a discussion group at the 100th May Call celebration in Switzerland in 2009. For the background, I used a photo of a group life in northern Germany in 2015.

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.

Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiac. Cancer is the dusk hours of the year and Cancer represents the home and the mother. The Sun in Cancer is said to be at home with itself. The soul finds its rest in the heart. The quality of the heart is love and belonging. It creates warm relationships. At home, in the heart, we can reflect on our life’s purpose and tune into divine intention to enable inner revelation. For the ordinary person, Cancer represents instincts, for advanced humans, intuition.
