For the past 16 years, the CVV Sharing gatherings held on the equinoxes have provided a space for experimental forms of group exchange regarding experiences and a deeper connection with the ONE Master Energy.

As in previous years, this year’s spring equinox gathering was once again held in the rotunda of the Seminarhof Drawehn in the Wendland region of northern Germany. Twenty-six people attended from various parts of Germany and Switzerland.

This year, the organising group had chosen the theme ‘Transformation through Conflict’. The individual sub-themes were decided during the meeting itself through proposals from group members using a consensus-building method.
Members had brought some objects for the group meeting.
There were also short talks on the Aries myth from the Odyssey, on dissonance, consonance and resonance in music, on Narada, the cosmic Mercury, and more. There was also an experiment with music combined with movements relating to the seven rays.
Also a member of the animal kingdom participated

During the equinox, we met outdoors for a fire ritual. Every three hours, we turned our attention inwards through longer and shorter meditations.

Benjamin speaking about the quality of the time
In the mornings there was an opportunity for yoga and movement exercises; in the afternoons, walks in nature and in-depth discussions. In the feedback session at the end of the gathering, joy was expressed about the inspiring group experience.
The Sun’s entrance into Aries enables the Earth and her kingdoms to have renewed energies. The Sun is exalted in Aries, which means the Sun is at its highest spiritually. Mars gives the dynamics whereas Mercury gives the needed discrimination. Mars, Mercury and Sun prevail over Aries. Hence, it is good that we orient to the solar energy (Sun), its effulgence (Mercury) and its direction (Mars).
May we redirect our aspiration preventing diffusion of our energies. Resetting our targets is important for our progress: “Relate to the spirit as soul and get guided; relate to matter as soul to manifest.” (Master KPK / Dr K. Parvathi Kumar)
Aries is the month of the descent of new energies. During the hours of the Aries full moon, the Will of God is received in Shambala. The plan for the year descends to Earth in seed form from higher circles. This fresh impulse is formulated into a working plan for the year during the following 30 days. The plan is handed over to the Hierarchy during the hours of the Taurus full moon.
The members of the Hierarchy internalise the plan and begin to implement it. At the Gemini full moon, the disciples who are tuned to the Masters receive the seed thought, which is worked out on the planet during the remaining nine months of the year. These three full moons are of utmost importance for the reception and implementation of the plan.
To visualise this descent and distribution of energies, I merged three full moon images in vertical alignment and superimposed the glyphs of the three months of Aries, Taurus and Gemini in corresponding colours. The light streaming in from above shines down on the Earth via the full moons and spreads downwards into a cone of light.
At the apex of the sphere of the Earth there is a red lotus containing white light and surrounded by a fiery sphere. It is a symbolic representation of Shambala and indicates the reception and transmission of energies.
A few days ago, a friend shared via Telegram the link to a video of a huge open air concert in 2018 called “Lec, saulīte!” (Rise, Sunshine) by Latvia TV. An exquisite gem, a most impressive piece of music.
I searched in YouTube and discovered it – however not with the beautiful Latvian words in subtitles, starting: “I am the womb of the earth. You are my sun…”. You find this version here here:
Pisces is the zodiacal sign of saviourship and sacrifice. Pisces is the fourth mutable zodiacal sign, and the two fishes indicate the dual nature of spirit and matter, which need to find harmony. Pisces contains the possibility of descending into materialism as well as ascending into the light of the soul. Both paths are wide open to us as we end one solar year and enter another lifetime cycle. The choice is always ours as to how we want to move forward and use our will. Jupiter is exalted in Pisces; it helps us rise from duality to synthesis.
A few days ago, I received the photo of a huge drawing that Albert Sassi made of the Rishi Agastya, Master Jupiter. It was drawn on a piece of plain plywood, with charcoal and white. It is a 3/4 portrait. The size is larger than life, it stands almost 2 meters high. This picture shows only the top half of the whole drawing. Maybe one day we will find a more complete picture of it. The current whereabouts of this drawing are unknown.
Rishi Agastya, by Albert Sassi
And little is known about the author of the painting, Albert Sassi (born end of the 19th century in Italy, passed over 28 March 1971 in Belgium). In his outer life, he was for years a high ranking officer at the Geneva Department of Commerce and a professor of Labour Law.
At the same time, he was a very profound spiritualist, a high dignitary member of the Theosophical Society (TS) in Geneva and he translated “Esoteric Astrology” of Master DK / Alice A. Bailey into French. After his retirement he lived for several years in India, especially near the Durga Mountain of the Nilagiris, the Blue Mountains which are said to be the main seat of the ashram of Rishi Agastya in the subtle planes.
There, Albert Sassi met Master EK and deeply interacted with him. Master EK even called him his “spiritual colleague”. Master EK revealed to Sassi the work of Master CVV, who is considered to be an advanced disciple of Agastya or even identical with him, and shared teachings received from him. Albert Sassi facilitated the introduction of Master EK to the West by inviting the Master to Europe. However, when Master EK travelled to Europe for the first time, Albert Sassi had already passed over. Read more about Albert Sassi and the meeting with Master EK.
The great seers of the past in deep contemplation attuned to the planet Earth, the solar system and even groups of solar systems. They could see that the Earth receives energies from cosmic sources via the Sun. The seven stars of the Great Bear and the seven stars that form the Pleiades, together with Sirius, have a special influence. They recognised Sirius as the Teacher (Love/Wisdom) who cares for the development of our solar system, while the Great Bear and the Pleiades play the roles of Father (Divine Will) and Mother (Divine Intelligence).
The Sun receives a triple energy from these three cosmic sources and transmits it to Earth via Shambala through the Seven Rays, thus seven sounds and seven colours.
The image is a visualisation of how the three energies are transmitted to the Sun from the three great centres – the Pleiades at the top left, Sirius in the middle and the Great Bear at the top right. The red or First Ray, coming from the Great Bear, symbolises the energy of the Father, the blue or Second Ray from Sirius represents the energy of the Teacher, and the yellow or Third Ray, coming from the Pleiades, represents the energy of the Mother.
The lower part of the image illustrates the reception of energies. Shambala is depicted in the Gobi Desert area with a flame of seven colours. Flames in different parts of the globe symbolise the transmission of energies by the inhabitants of the seven ashrams of the Spiritual Hierarchy to all of humanity. These processes were described by Dr K. Parvathi Kumar in the book “Shambala”.
The image invites us to visualise these different energy flows and to meditate on their transmission for the development of humanity.
A friend from Siberia wrote me some days ago in response to the last Aquarian Salon & recording on “Shambala” where we had presented a painting on “The Jewel in the Lotus” and another on “Chintamani, the Philosopher’s Stone of Heavenly Origin“. She gave me some warm personal remarks about my creativeness with the paintings to which I replied, “As per the images, they come, it is not “my creativeness” but given. If there is nothing coming, it is empty in my mind, no work possible.”
She further wrote: “Chintamani is the stone which Nicholas & Helena Roerich mystically received (see a conversation from November 2023). Chintamani was sent to the Roerichs on October 6, 1923, in Paris, in a simple parcel box. It was wrapped in embroidered cloth and placed in a leather casket. This casket and the cloth are depicted in S. N. Roerich’s painting “The Sacred Casket.” In his book “Heart of Asia,” N.K. Roerich wrote: “The great Timur owned this stone. The stone is usually brought by the most unexpected people. In the same unexpected way, in due course, disappears in order to reappear at the destined time in a completely different country. The main part of this stone is located in Shambhala. Only a small piece of it is issued and wanders all over the earth, maintaining a magnetic connection with the main Stone.” I know about this Stone, Ludger. Does the group know?”
Since I cannot tell “about ‘the’ group” but only about individuals, I sent her some pictures of Nicholas Roerich paintings and answered, “I once got these images from a German friend, I did not know the details (from the book ‘Heart of Asia’) you gave.” And later I asked for her permission to quote her from our exchange to which she agreed. Here are the pictures.

Nicholas Roerich has done many paintings on the most sacred and radiant stone Chintamani. Here are two of them.
About the topic of the seminar: The theme of Prithu is very sublime. Prithu was a king who worked out the knowledge for the third wave of life on the planet, the Lemurian wave. Prithu was not only a king but also an initiate, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. He is considered to be the first perfect human form on earth, and he had a task to fulfil. Prithu linked the cosmic intelligence of wisdom with the planet and the bodies of the planet. Prithu could relate to the earth and speak to her. He saw the soul of the earth and the earth appeared to him in the form of a cow. All our languages were not yet there, they communicated inwardly.
Prithu chases the goddess earth, from an illustrated manuscript of the Bhagavata Purana, about 1740
Prithu was taught by Mother Earth and Sanat Kumara, and the teachings were very sublime. Prithu, the earth and the beings on the earth found how to live on the earth. Prithu has given out the Teachings of Sanat Kumara and the whole way of life to humanity. The facilities he gave us, the humans, should enable us to live on earth happily. We should be grateful to King Prithu.
