The power of Kumara is not only the power as we usually know. It is the power to will. If he wills, it happens. There is no deterrent to the will of Kumara. No one can stand across the currents of his will.
The Kumara is also said to be resident of a cave. The cave is nothing but the central spinal column around which the scaffolding of the human form is built. He also constitutes the Taurus-Scorpio axis around which the zodiac is formed. Since he resides in the innermost column, he gained the name Guha, meaning indweller of the cave. Since he is six-dimensional, he is called Shanmukha. His colour is of molten gold or that of pure liquid honey.

The self-effulgent soul within can be realised only when you stop hunting for power and search for love instead. In the current age, this can be done. After the Mahabharata war, that was the teaching given by Lord Krishna to Lord Maitreya, “let's start with ‘fishing the souls’ through love”. The book Music of the Soul, relating to Krishna’s post-war teaching, speaks of neutralising all the centres within ourselves with love. 'Let me grow not powerful but loveable.' When you are loveable people gather around you. By sharing you grow.

In so far as matter is pure, the soul shines forth. The glory of the soul is expressed to the sheath of matter. But in so far as matter is not adequately pure, the soul gets imprisoned and suffers from the ill effects of matter.
Soul is but the glorious shine. The matter should enable the transmission of such shine. The quality of such shine is Will, Love and Light. Virgo stands for the pure matter through which the soul shines forth.

The death of the personality and the birth of his soul into group-consciousness becomes possible through the love-activity of the Anahata chakra. This is the point which makes the student a disciple. The birth of love causes the birth of wisdom and this wisdom raises the thought of man into the level of intellect.
The birth of group-consciousness that is worked out through Leo is called the birth of the Son. Leo is the fifth sign of the zodiac, which denotes the relationship between father and son. This relationship is always through the soul-consciousness and its culmination is the spiritual realisation of the father in the son.

During the interval between departure from physical and reincarnation where does the soul remain? It remains here only experiencing through the causal body. Since the soul is bodiless (physical), its movement is like the Earth’s orbit. As the instincts and urges grow heavy for want of satiation, the soul moves towards the Earth and seeks reincarnation.
The interval between the death and entry into the mother’s womb is according to the degree of the urge for material belonging and satiation of desires. The one who overcomes his behavioural instincts need not come back for there is no downward pull towards Earth in his case. He is the liberated soul that finds expression in higher planes of existence.

Mercury enables crossing over from subjectivity to objectivity and from objectivity to subjectivity with ease. He enables pass-over. In fact, Mercury enables passing over from plane to plane until one reaches the Absolute Truth. And the one, who enables one to reach the most high, would also enable one to descend. Ascent and descent can be done with ease with the help of Mercury.

Forget not Aldebaran, the all-seeing Eye that can pull you up to the state of the most sublime. It exists in you as the Eye of the Lord. It presides over you in all walks of your life. In the Cosmos it presides over the whole Creation. Contemplation upon the column of Light from the Heart Centre up to the higher Third Eye yields fruitful experience. The month of Taurus can thus be consecrated for such contemplation.
Remember that the Full Moon of Taurus is the culminating point for such contemplation. Buddha is born through such contemplation. Such contemplation, through such consecration, gives you the status of the Sacred Bull.

Agni, which is the spur or the impulse from pure existence, generates the expansion of space and manifests the fiery breaths. The breath is called Vayu, which transforms into a space pulsation (refer to the proem of “Isis Unveiled” by H. P. Blavatsky). Through time, Rudra conducts Agni as Vayu. The exhalation of space results in creation; the inhalation of space results in dissolution of the creation. This is called the breath of the Creator or Brahma.

The Lord of the world is the One Initiator. HE is the hierophant of our rites. HE is called in the Bible ‘The Ancient of Days’ and in the Hindu scriptures as Sanat Kumara. From HIS throne at Shambala in the Gobi desert HE presides over the White Lodge of Masters and holds in HIS hand the reigns of the inner government. HE is chosen to watch over the evolution of men and Devas on this planet. He is the guardian angel of Chintamani, the philosopher’s stone of heavenly origin.

The sage Agastya is described in scriptures as drinking away oceans. There were some demons destroying the welfare of humanity on this earth and they were hiding themselves under the oceans during day time and during nights they were coming and eating the human beings. The devas of the deva kingdom felt helpless and they came to Agastya and asked him to help them. He asked, “What do you want?” Then they said, “We want a method to empty the ocean so that the fellows are out." Then the sage took the water of the oceans and drank into his belly and the demons were out, and they were killed by the devas. This is a periodical story. That is an allegory narrated about the human race of the Aquarian age. Whenever the Aquarian age occurs this story happens with all of us.

Saturn rules over the ring of horizon which is only a limitation relative to an observer. Saturn sus-tains this ring in the mind of man as a self-imposed barrier. He actually hatches the conscious-ness of man within this ring and widens the ring through the necessary unfolding of man. He makes the process of unfoldment inevitable by virtue of this ring of limitation. Man has to cross it by a proper understanding of god’s creation and the ‘how it is’ of it. One has to attune himself with the ultimate fitness of things to cross his own Saturnine nature.

Sagittarius is the most sublime sun sign and is specially dedicated to spiritual practices from ancient most times in accordance with the Vedic tradition. Bhagavad Gita quotes Lord Krishna as saying that, “I am Sagittarius among the 12 zodiacal months.” Krishna stands for the universal consciousness and that universal consciousness is presented annually through Sagittarius, the 9th of the 12 sun signs. From Sagittarius to Gemini, and from Gemini to Aries (in the reverse path), the path exists in Sagittarius. It is a path from muladhara to visuddhi and visuddhi to ajna and sahasrara. The path is called the ‘Path to Narayana’ and the specific days in Sagittarius are called the ‘Days of Narayana’.

One aim of Master CVV's yoga is to awaken the Kundalini of the individual and to coordinate it with the Kundalini of others. The awakening of the Kundalini is called the vertical plane. Coordinating with the Kundalini of others is called the horizontal plane. The next level is connecting the Kundalini of humanity with the planetary Kundalini and with the solar and cosmic Kundalini. This stage perfects humanity on Earth towards the spiritual light of the Brotherhood.

The Lord of Shambala, Sanat Kumara, the most ancient one and the most sublime one, is not only the ruler of the beings on the planet but also the teacher and the awakener. In him, the will, the knowledge, and active intelligence are in their complete manifestation. He is called Shasta. Shasta means a synthesis of the three energies namely will, knowledge and action. On the Western horizon, a mount is dedicated to Shasta which is popularly known as Mount Shasta. The Lord works from Shambala in the East and from Shasta in the West, to synthesize East and West at all levels.
Lord Sanat Kumara abundantly manifests the Aquarian energies through Mount Shasta which in turn awakens the entire state of California to usher in the electronic age. California is the pioneering province for global evolution now due to ever unfolding innovations in the field of electronics, communications and information technology.
Imagine the rainbow bridge between Shambala and Shasta, to realize the energies of Aquarius and thereby transform the self. The effort of Shambala and Shasta is expected to manifest the golden age by the age 2424.

During the first phases, Leo is called the dog in the Vedic and Puranic symbolism. In its higher functions, it is called the lion. Dog is the symbol of vigilance. It keeps awake at the gates be-tween heaven and hell (the bliss and the misery of life).
The Dog-star has a mysterious relationship with the sign Leo. The vibrations of the sounds of this star are so high as to be inaudible to the ear of the ordinary man. Dogs on this earth contain the vibrations of the Dog-star. They can hear the whistles or sounds not heard by the human ear. The presence of a dog hastens the stimulation of consciousness into the higher vibrations of sound to a student of yoga. For this reason some adepts have dogs around them. At a particular stage of practice, the student attracts dogs around himself and he cannot understand the reasons at first. He is not expected to drive them away, if he wants to derive the benefit. Lord Dattatreya, who is the Lord of the whole science of yoga, has four dogs around him to aid his devotees and disciples.

Painting from 20 November 2011, reworked on 30 April 2023

The supreme God principle is self-existing without mother and father. When He wants to come down as creation, He gives out the mother-principle which was hitherto slumbering in Him. She comes down and conceives Him in her womb as her child. Then the Lord comes down as the first manifestation of the Lord who is called Virat or Hiranyagarbha, the self-effulging egg. The mother-principle descends into all the series of planes of creation upto the grossest material plane.
The Cosmic Person (Purusha) has come down in 10 steps and presides over creation. The 10 points together form the Universal Soul, and the central point represents the individual soul.

The growth of the foetus in the womb, when man is buried in the grave of the physical plane, imitates the drama of the whole evolution. This is an inevitable experience through the process of evolution. The wise spiritualist can cross this only by experiencing this through the rituals of the higher order. When man is made to imitate the whole process of gestation under the spiritual guidance of a guru, in the halls of the temples of initiation that are arranged in correspondence with the structure of the uterus, man, by this experience, crosses the necessity of undergoing many of his physical births. This is one of the secrets of the rituals of “The Dying God”. Falling into cycles of birth (spiritual death) and death (spiritual birth) through the gateway of Cancer and Capricorn is called the repeated death of man.

The principle of Mercury tells us not to judge and not even to be critical. Look at the two pillars of Gemini. The glyph indicates a portal. One needs to walk through the two pillars to go through the portal. The Lord of Gemini, Mercury, tells us to enter into the temple and not to hit either of the pillars. Men with viewpoints invariably hit the unseen pillars of the temple and break their noses. One can never enter into a temple when he is with one view or the other view. Viewpoints do not lead one to wisdom. Only visions lead one to wisdom.

Sun in Taurus is called the fertilising bull. This represents the import of the word. Moon in Taurus is called the cow. This represents that which is impregnated. Word is twofold: the concept and the language. Language is feminine by nature and the content is masculine by nature. Their union is wisdom as creation. This is symbolised by Mercury as the calf also in Taurus. Thus we find that The Word, in its four stages of expression, has three phases.

In the thousand-petaled lotus of the earth, the mystic village of Shambala is posited. It is called the White Island by some members of the Hierarchy. You can envision Shambala by relating to the 'Sahasrara Padma' in you. Align the 'Self' with the 'Super-Self' in you who is but the Master. As the alignment finds its atonement Shambala can be seen. Maitreya, Adi Sankara, and Gautama the Buddha are the ones who are graced with the presence of Shambala.
Know that the way to Shambala is in you as your Sahasrara. Shambala is beyond all dark dreams, religions, and traditions. The culmination of the enlightened ones is in the light of Shambala. One stands to be a universal citizen as one realizes Shambala in him.

Water in its subtlest form is electricity. So you have electric fire in Pisces also. That is why it is called a spiritual sign. Saraswathi is the one that conducts the flow from up above to down below; all movement of all beings, be it horizontal or vertical; all movements of the planets and even the movement of the sun around the central sun. It is all arising out of the flow, just like we see the flow in a river. You can visualise a circular flow of the energies in creation, which is called the wheel of creation.

The constellation of Aquarius is called The Man in the Heavens. He is the guide of humanity through ages and centuries. The Masters of Wisdom recognized him and called him Manu (the prototype of man). The set of highly evolved Solar Systems which we call the Stars of the Constellation Aquarius shed their light upon the beings of this earth through the Sun of our Solar System in sparkling looks. This light is a light of blessing for spiritual realization and the perfection of our mankind through ages along the spirals of evolution quite in tune with Nature's Law. This Law of the human evolution is called the Law of Manu. The stages of evolution are called Manvantaras which are 14 in number in each round. Each Manvantara includes many Mahayugas (great periods) as the petals in a flower. Each Mahayuga includes Yugas, centuries, years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds and so on. All these divisions await their unfoldment like the tender folds of a bud.

The emblem of the hand with its five fingers stretched out in a posture of benediction is called Abhaya Mudra in Sanskrit. Through the means of this Mudra the Wisdom is transmitted in silence. The disciple receives and transcends. The five fingers of the hand in Sanskrit is called Makara. Makara is also the Sanskrit name of Capricorn. Varuna is said to be riding on it, meaning he presides over. The hand of five fingers is the vehicle of transmission of all states of wisdom. Students who enter into the heart and contemplate, receive it and ascend. The cardinal sign of Capricorn marks the dawn of Gods and Varuna presides over it. Major initiations happen to the students who accomplish Antahkarana in the month of Capricorn to be one with Gods.

The second half of Scorpio and Sagittarius are excellent periods for practising spiritualism every year. They must be specially utilised for spiritual activities, so that when we reach the dusk in Capricorn, we are ready to receive the light.
Sagittarius is said to be the "two hours before dawn." When we get up two hours before dawn, we are very much ready to meet the dawn. Thus, the preparation in Sagittarius is very important to receive the vibrations of Capricorn. If we have not prepared well, then we are not ready by the time the morning sun visits us. In the same fashion, the preparation is to be made in Sagittarius.

The central vertical vibration enables us to experience all planes of existence and that we are pure consciousness. And around you, there are the planes of consciousness. The central vertical vibration is in you. Within the column, it is light. It is that light which enables the Sun to shine. The Sun cannot shine by itself; it is THAT which gives us our comprehension in the morning. It is experienced in the subtle column of consciousness. Inside the spine, there is light. It is not a fluid, lumbar fluid; it is light. It is the base for everything. It is available in the core of our being, that is our home. We can move from above downwards and up; then you are called a yogi. That is what is called amrita inside the cave of the Master. It is inside our central column.

Whoever is encountering the illusion of the material, eventually shall have to remember the Light. If we do not remember, the energies that Libra offers are such that we will very easily ski into passion. It is not walking into it, it is not even slipping, it is just skiing into it, taking us into the bottomless pit! The Libra - Scorpio is the pit into which everyone will fall, through passion, when we are disconnected with the thread of Light. The need for the thread of Light to continue with us during the dark hours is an important step. The importance of recollecting the Light is emphasised in the sun sign Libra.

While Cancer represents nature as mother, Virgo represents the second aspect of the Logos as mother. If we can have a comprehension of the matter that fills the Maha Para Nirvanic plane, we can have a true understanding of the symbol of the World Mother that is located in this sign. All the creation in the Logoic plane consists of four states of the emanation of the Lord as word, from himself to the objective world.
This World Mother is the object of man’s meditation, his becoming and his merging. When the disciple meditates over this concept of the World Mother, he is raised by her into the state where the personality merges and the soul finds its place in the Mother, to be perfected and taken by her to the Father.

For this planet, the center for the Will is Sambala and it exists at the Sahasrara in each one of us. Sahasrara is the place of Sambala. That is where we have the gem. The gem is referred to by the Buddha as ‘the Jewel in the Lotus’ (Mani Padma). Many of you are familiar with the sound ‘Mani Padme Hum’. ‘Hum’ is the seed sound to relate to the jewel within the thousand petalled lotus that is at the top of the head. When your energies ascend to that level, you find yourself as a self-effulgent jewel. Buddha realized it. Maitreya had realized it much earlier. Masters of Wisdom are those who have realized the Mani in the Padma meaning the jewel in the lotus.
So, whenever we think of Sambala, think of Lord Sanat Kumara and think of your Sahasrara and think of the jewel that you can be, as you reach the Sahasrara in you. That is what is set as the goal of evolution upon this planet.

The unit of a solar day with its four cardinal points imbeds all the secrets of the creation and its time-conditioning as a self-sufficient specimen and symbol. The sunrise is a true symbol of the beginning of our creation in the scale, our individual birth on another scale and our awakening from sleep every morning in another scale. The sunset is the symbol of the ending and our sleep is the symbol of all subjectivity which we call Pralaya. The day is an epitome of the year and the year is an epitome of bigger cycles through centuries and Yugas.

Just as Lord Maitreya exists and Sanat Kumara and all the other great beings exist, there is also a physical embodiment of the feminine energy in the Himalayas called Shaila Putri. She is the one who moves around in the Himalayas on a lion. She is the guiding star for the entire Hierarchy. Many times when the Hierarchy needs a solution in a crisis, she provides the appropriate solution. You will find her described in the book "Man Sacrifice" written by Master EK. She is the Star which Master Djwhal Khul calls "The Exquisite Jewel, the Star of the Sea". This is the Mother of the World for our Planet.

In Sanskrit, Narayana means the path of God. The downward or the descent path of God is called creation and the upward path of God is called realization of Man. God comes down as this creation and exists as His presence in this creation. Man ascends into God by his spiritual practice and merges into God just as the lesser light merges in the greater light. So, this path of descent and this path of ascent put together form the two hemispheres of God's kingdom. The whole wheel rotates around every one of us and we are expected to complete this third practice. I am giving this Narayana Mantra to you.
See the God outside and see the God inside. Instead of meditating that God is within yourself, also meditate that you are in God. Just as a bottle immersed in a river has water in it filled, only because it is immersed in the water; simply because the bottle is in the river, the river is also in the bottle.

Aries is the first of the three fiery signs. These signs of the fiery triplicity are called the three great fires of the ritual (Tretagni). In the cosmic fire they exist as the electric fire (Vidyut), the solar fire (Jyothi) and fire by friction or the terrestrial fire (Pavaka). The ritual of the whole creation is described as the great day with three fires. The star dust is given out as the jet of fire which is known as the great serpent Ananta, who takes shape in the great constellation of the Dragon (cosmic Kundalini). This star dust forms into three great centres in a space globe before it is distributed into stars or solar systems. This whole story is epitomized in the three signs Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.

Lord Maitreya is the Ancient-Most One About Whom little is recollected by the Indians, though the Indian Puranas contain information about Maitreya. The very first Purana, which is the original Purana, out of which 17 other Puranas were conceived by Veda Vyasa, was carved out by Lord Maitreya for 50 years under a Ficus Religiosa (sacred fig) tree near a cave called Sravasti, which today is called Shigatse by the Tibetans or Chinese. The caves of Shigatse are his residence. From this cave, He blesses the entire planet and humanity twice daily, during the morning and evening hours. So, when we do prayers in the morning and evening hours, we should think of Him because it is His rays of grace that we keep receiving.

In the Age of Aquarius your ability to translate your knowledge and your skills to the benefit of others is the only measure. The measure of knowledge is not the measure of light that one carries in the Aquarian Age. Aquarius is the eleventh sun sign. The eleventh house in astrology indicates the group relation and the social relation. How qualitative are these relations? How much is shared with the group or the society? What is one’s contribution to the group or to the society? Is one useful to the group or using the group – this needs to be measured. Aspirants with no good group relation cannot aspire much to move vertically. “Use not the group, but be useful to the group” is the dictum. Share, contribute, distribute, serve the whole are the seed thoughts that the sky transmits.

Our earth is moving at great speed as we all know around itself. But we the beings on earth never feel it. It is moving around itself and yet we do not experience its move-ment. It is also the case with an adept. An adept seemingly sits in a cave but he influ-ences the whole earth. He is seemingly non-active but is much more active than many who are seemingly very active. A piece of magnet vibrates into the surroundings. Its magnetic waves express all around but remain imperceptible.
A subtle hidden activity apparently inactive is what is expressed by the term Naga. There have been Nagas on earth right from Lemurian times. They are called dragons of wisdom, serpents of wisdom, men of cosmic will, of yoga and of cosmic fire. Like serpents they live in hidden caves of mountain ranges. They emerge according to a plan to conduct ordained work and disappear.

The Sun we see has two preceding centres, namely the central Sun and cosmic Sun. These three Suns are called in the Veda as Aditya, Savitru and Surya. They are called in Chaldean and Assyrian theologies as OM, SOL and AN. These three terms are jumbled to bring out the word ‘SOL OM AN’. ‘SOL OM AN’ is a mythical expression of the threefold Sun, is no different from the Islamic version of Sulayman.
In the human being there are three centres relating to the three suns. They are the heart, the ajna and the sahasrara. When these three centres fall into alignment, one is said to have formed the Solomon’s Temple in oneself. When the Solomon’s Temple is formed, the Divine Plan can be worked out upon Earth. The utterance which is beyond, finds its expression through the three Suns.

Sarama ist einer der weiblichen Devas, die die unterbewussten und unbewussten Ebenen des Denkvermögens regieren. Diese Ebenen werden bildlich als die Unterwelten oder die unterirdischen Reiche beschrieben. Daher wird sie auch als ein weiblicher Hund der Devas beschrieben, der die Tore der niederen Regionen bewacht. Sie wird auch mit einer Silbe aus drei Tönen indentifiziert, die als der erste, zweite und vierte Ton der Tonleitern hervorgebracht wird, die durch die drei Töne Sa-ra-ma verkörpert werden. Cerberus, der dreiköpfige Hund mit dem Schlangenschwanz, der in der griechischen Mythologie die Tore zwischen Himmel und Hölle bewacht, muss wohl dieselbe Gottheit sein. Die Namen Sarama und Cerberus haben viel Ähnlichkeit miteinander. Auch der Klang ist ähnlich. Sarama wird auch mit den Funktionen des Hundssterns identifiziert. Da das klangerzeugende Bewusstsein das Gewahrwerden und das Erwachen der unterbewussten und unbewussten Schichten verursacht, wird es mit dem Hund verglichen, dem Tier, das für seine Wachsamkeit bekannt ist.

Narayana is the source for expression of the creation of which the first is the impulse. As the impulse comes, the wheel of time starts. As the wheel moves, air emerges and sound happens. As the wheel moves, the rays of light emerge. The rays gather their velocity and form. The forms successively gain denser matter forming the creation. Vishnu, Vasudeva, Narayana is the sum and essence of the four-fold creation of matter, force, consciousness and existence.

Light assumes different gradations according to its interaction with matter. Light actually takes on eight different gradations. Different parts of the body shine with eight different gradations or types of light. The light of the bones, the light of skin, are different from the light of flesh. Bone is the hardest form of matter. The light of the eye is the subtlest form of matter. Both bone and eye are light but their lights are very different.
The soul light shines through the eyes. The soul is also in the bones but there is a difference in the shine. There is one nature with nine gradations of light. The ninth is called the diamond. The ninth is called the Mother. All eight other natures precipitate from the ninth nature. Existence is called ten. Nine with ten is eternal.

The limitation of love in the form side is broken to give way to the manifestation of love as protection and liberation. Then the giant (self) in the house of love is once again liberated and raised to the level of a custodian of the gate. This story from Bhagavatha is so very powerful and elevating that a mere meditation will give an expansion to the student.

At the beginning of summer solstice there is the descent of the souls into the bodies as an annual drama. The birth of the souls into matter happens through Cancer. On the opposite side, the liberation of the souls from matter occurs through Capricorn. That is why the arc from Capricorn to Cancer is called the Divine Arch; and from Cancer to Capricorn, it is the Royal Arch. From Cancer to Capricorn, it is called the Silver Bowl, and from Capricorn to Cancer it is called the Golden Bowl. This is the soli-lunar bowl of a solar year.

Im Horoskop eines spirituellen Menschen beeinflusst Saturn die Zwillinge. Im Horoskop eines Durchschnittsmenschen herrscht er zusammen mit Mars über den Skorpion. Der Geist steigt auf einem konvergierenden, spiralförmigen Weg im Skorpion herab. Dies zeigt die Art des Todes an. Wenn der Mensch die Richtung des Rades umkehrt und denselben Weg zurückgeht, stößt er auf denselben Serpentinenpfad. Es ist der Pfad des neuen Lebens, und die Windungen dieses Weges werden immer größer. Nachdem die Reise der eingekerkerten menschlichen Seele vom Skorpion zu den Zwillingen in der umgekehrten Richtung beendet wurde, arbeitet Saturn durch die Zwillinge und erbaut die Antahkarana des Jüngers. Dann ist die Seele von den Fesseln der Materie befreit und wird über den gleichen spiralförmigen Weg zum Stier geführt. Diesmal ist der Pfad jedoch strahlend weiß und wird als geflügelte Schlange bezeichnet. Durch weitere Umwandlungen wird sie zum Adler.

There are seven other centres above the neck (the portion of body ruled by Taurus) which bear a direct correspondence and relationship on the solar-cosmic level (second bridge) with the seven stars of the constellation of Pleiades. The guru establishes a direct link between these centres of the disciple and the stars of that constellation. …
When the link is established through a continuous process of improving the fitness of the disciple, Pleiades begin to shower the spiritual food as principles upon him. They are appropriately called the seven mothers of Kumara, a newborn babe and an eternal child. The disciple becomes a kumara only after the second birth (spiritual birth). The Pleiades are also thought of as the wives of the seven great seers (the constellation of the Great Bear). Pleiades establishes a link between the seven stars of the Great Bear and the seven centres above the neck of the disciple.

On our Earth there is a Sun centre called Shamballa, which provides the way-out from the Earth. In man, the highest centre of the Sun is the sahasrara. At that point man can experience the highest illumination of his Sun. When man stands vertically on Earth, the path of his head orients to his meridian. When Sun is at its meridian during the midday, he stands a chance to get aligned to the Sun. When the link is established, the initiation takes place. The highest point of illumination is said to be in the sign Aries, for Aries represents the top of the head of the man. For every man his meridian is the place of his initiation. This gives a clue for every individual to find out the mid-heaven in his or her horoscope. The days during which the Sun transits the mid-heaven constitute the time for initiation.

The Kundalini power in each one of us is the power of the Mother. She can initiate it, she can alert it, she can awaken it and ensure that it moves up. This movement is through the cerebro-spinal column, from the tip of the column up to the head of the staff. That is what Moses holds in his hand symbolically. That is the rod of power bestowed on him by God. It is a crawling serpent and also a vertically raising power. That rod of initiation is in us but it is dormant, and the Mother can cause its upward movement.
If you close your eyes, visualise your head as a globe of light and your ears as etheric ears, further visualise that this globe is standing on a staff, the spinal column, and visualise this spinal column as a column of light, and also visualise a subtle sound emerging from the base of your spinal column and its movement upward like a serpent.

The daily movement of Sun’s chariot is conceived as a grand ritual by a sage called Dirghatamas, which is enacted on the midnight hours of 22nd December in tune with the winter solstice. Today this ritual is conducted in a different fashion as ‘the birth of the saviour’. As explained in the earlier chapters the Sun God is the true saviour and the rays of the Sun emerging from him on the first day of the Capricorn (23rd December morning) are seen as the blood of the saviour that saves the world. During the hours preceding the dawn the ritual given by Dirghatamas is enacted in the ashrams. Madame H. P. Blavatsky presented in English this ritual in her epochal work ‘Isis Unveiled’.

The fire of aspiration has to be applied to yourself for needed transmutation, transformation and transcendence. I can only add fire daily, but it is for you to pick it up and cook for yourself. Unless you cook, the food is not formed, the fruit is not formed. Don’t look to me to cook for you. I am your fireplace not your cook. You can come to me to collect the fire. The cooking material is with you, in you. Your body is the vessel. Commence cooking. The material transforms.

Discipleship is the path for the son of man to become the Son of God. One is a Son of God when one is seated in the centre of Ajna. It is the seat of mastery. Kumara means a Son of God. He is the messenger of God.
The disciple’s journey starts from Muladhara, represented by Scorpio. The man in Muladhara is the man in the world. He lives in objectivity. As much man projects into objectivity so much he gets conditioned. Only a Son of God can project into objectivity without getting conditioned. Conditioning is the principle of Saturn. As much as man works with desire, so much Saturn conditions him in Muladhara. The conditioned awareness of man in Muladhara is described as the serpent Saturn.

In the path of reversed wheel, in the axis of Aries-Libra the inversion of opposition is reversed. In Aries, Mars is exalted and in Libra, Venus is exalted. This exalted relation between Mars and Venus transforms the opposition into a marriage, in the sense, the two energies unite and find their harmony. The presence of a woman is therefore strongly recommended by seers for man and vice versa for harmonious progress.

The World Mother can give us the experience of the seventh plane of existence. This is called the Mahaparanirvanic plane, the seventh plane, the radiant Light of the Universe. This is also true for the Second Logos. This is the origin from which, from time to time, the Sons of God are born by the grace of the Mother who is also called the Virgin. Therefore, another name for the Sons of God is "Sons of the Virgin." Every Son of God is a product of virginity. If we aspire to become an accepted disciple, it is absolutely necessary that we aspire towards this purity, so that the grace of the Mother showers down to lift man up to Her state of purity and being.

We all have a common purpose when we gather here. That purpose makes us gather now and then. That purpose has been guiding our lives. That purpose is better known to the Master. It is that purpose which has been guiding us and it is that purpose which makes us meet now and then, because the purpose wants to be made known more by itself. Each time when the light wants to shine forth more, it makes its own plan to gather people, so that there is a little more light in our lives, and also transmit a little more life around us. It is a process of light manifesting itself and in so far as the vehicles co-operate the light shines forth more and more into the vehicle, and gradually, as the vehicle is transmuted, the same vehicle is also used to transmit light. So, the transmission of light is possible when the vehicle is transmuted.

The southern movement of Sun brings down the consciousness into matter. It is the drama of the solar year with the spirit descending into matter and resting in matter, and spirit ascending from matter. There is the ascent from matter which is called the evolution and the descent into matter which we call involution.
Cancer marks the descent into matter, which begins on 22nd June. The longest day of light in the year is the 22nd June. Thereafter, the daylight lessens and night increases. This is how the spirit from Cancer to Capricorn descends into matter, and from Capricorn to Cancer matter then ascends back to spirit.

Master Djwhal Khul writes in his book "Destiny of the Nations" that it will be good for the world if Britain remains in union with the other European nations. This Brexit indicates that good days for the world be postponed. A similar thing is happening in America as well. USA was formed with an idea that it would allow migrants from all over the globe to settle on that land, and now they are deviating from that core principle.… In this manner, people are deviating from the splendorous creational principles of inclusivity and synthesis.
"Unification within and without is Yoga." We should be inclusive, both inside and outside. Only then we can be in a path of Yoga. This inclusivity is very much required in present times. We should stop thinking in terms of differences. If we start differentiating, then nobody remains with us. This kind of exclusive thought process is expected to last for 5 years. And during this time, we should be cautious that we do not fall into such thoughts. However, we should be prepared to live with such thoughts around us for a time.

On the day of Aries full moon, a sound uttered forth from higher circles is received at Shambala by the Lord of the planet, Sanat Kumara. This seed sound is the annual plan for the planet Earth. The Dhyani Buddhas who work with Lord Sanat Kumara contemplate on this seed sound for a period of one month. Then in the month of Taurus, this sound is communicated through Gautama Buddha to the Hierarchy. Hence, the Hierarchy and their disciples join in Vaisakh Valley on the full moon day of Taurus to realize this sound in them. This is known as the Vaisakh Festival. The Hierarchy gives out the plan relating to this planet, to the humanity on the next full moon, i.e., the full moon of Gemini. Gemini therefore is known as the month of initiation for Humanity.

The sun cuts the equator from south to north as he enters the sign Aries. It is said, the head of the year God is cut and the head of a ram is supplemented when the sacrifice of the year is completed into a circle. All the creation of this earth awakens into the body of the year God as it gets created into the various living beings of this earth. Invisible fire exists as sky and visible fire exists as the Sun God. The splendour of the Sun God makes its manifestation into the forms of the cycles of the season when the Sun enters the sign Aries.

Solar energy descends down through Aries and then there is a further descent into Cancer. Thereafter the activity happens up to Capricorn. Then the solar God slowly and gradually proceeds via Pisces into Aries and enters into higher circles. Before entering the higher circles, he hands over a kind of Olympic fire to the next cycle of time.
Each cycle of time the solar God offers a different energy. Every year is therefore different from every other year, though in the calendar we find the same dates. Many times, the energy comes, many times the energy descends from higher circles, entering into the causal, the subtle and the gross physical matter, and the once again ascends from Capricorn via Aquarius and Pisces into higher circles from Aries.

Now we are running a minor period called "The Aquarian Age". Every year during this month of Aquarius the Heavenly Man showers down the flow of the spiritual light from his pot. You remember that the man with a pot pouring down water to sprinkle the drops of Spiritual Wisdom upon the evolving souls of this earth is the symbol of the sign Aquarius. Let us meditate upon THE ONE MAN who has descended into the forms of the many human beings busy through the work of their evolutionary journey.

The basis for reception of the five-pointed brilliant star is a pure mind. It is this five-pointed star which descends into a pure mind. This is called the white dragon. The white dragon is in truth a blue dragon. White in its great depth is blue.
To bring this white dragon more effectively into us, the month of Capricorn helps us. It is recommended that we make a posture of a five-pointed star facing the East during the dawn hours, so that we will be able to invoke the white dragon into us. This posture in the month of Capricorn during the hours of dawn makes the white robe to descend more into us. Understand that the white dragon is nothing but the white robe which descends into us. That is the reason why this exercise is recommended.

Manu and Sanat Kumara have a correspondence with the head centre of every one of us. For example, the north pole of our earth has its correspondence with our head. The south pole of our earth has its correspondence with our coccyx and the whole vertebral column has its correspondence with the axis of rotation of our earth. And what the Masters do in their meditation is, they direct their disciples and followers to make a meditation daily through a process of what they call superimposition. That is, they imagine themselves occupying the whole earth from head to their tail and then meditate the north pole in their head centre and south pole in their coccyx and gradually they make a contact on higher planes with the corresponding points of the earth’s axis of rotation. And they receive a contact with the seven centres in their vertebral column and gradually the sub-centres also. While doing so they will experience the consciousness of the various continents of this earth and the various races and nations and their collective minds on this earth. This is one of the regular meditations of the Masters and their disciples.

"Loosening the spirals of Karma, the serpent shines winged and escapes through the bore of the Sun’s body from above the eyebrows. Henceforth the serpent is the winged messenger of the Gods. He is Mercury."
The spirals of Karma exist until the Sun centre, which is the Ajna centre. Once the awareness escapes the bore (the ladder), explained in the previous meditation, beyond the pituitary body, which is also called the brow centre, the serpentine consciousness escapes into higher realms and transforms itself into a winged shining serpent. The awareness of the disciple moves in the etheric states of Akasha as a winged being. It carries the etheric shine and moves in the expanse of the blue. The journey is thus complete.

From the path of the zodiac, the disciple enters the path of the Sun through the third, fourth and fifth steps of Raja yoga. Through the sixth and the seventh steps, he transcends the seven-fold planetary path of the Sun and enters into the soul of the Sun. In the eighth phase he attains the centre of the spiritual Sun who is the lord above all creations. He sits in the lotus above the head-centre. But he is one with the centre which is everywhere, with its circumference nowhere.
The sign Libra in the zodiac conducts the functions of the fourth as well as the fifth phase of Raja yoga and ends with the whole frame of zodiac in the sixth phase. It is replaced by the six lotuses. Henceforth, the emblem of the disciple is not the wheel with centripetal and centrifugal forces, but it is the lotus with only the unfolding activity. The highest form of Buddha in man is seated in a lotus. He is called the Jewel of the Seventh Lotus.

The World Mother of many ancient religions is decorated with an arch of rainbow around her head. The grace of the Lord comes down through the World Mother in seven planes, seven colours, seven scales of musical sounds, seven rounds of planets, seven planetary chains, seven root-races, etc. The whole creation is the result of His grace through seven periods of time that are called the Seven Days of creation. Hence the rainbow represents the unfolding of the Lord’s grace.

Forget not Aldebaran, the all-seeing Eye that can pull up to the state of the most sublime. It exists in you as the Eye of the Lord. It presides over you in all walks of your life. In the cosmos it presides over the whole Creation. Contemplation upon the column of light from the heart centre up to the higher third eye yields fruitful experience. The month of Taurus can thus be consecrated for such contemplation.
Remember that the full moon of Taurus is the culminating point for such contemplation. Buddha is born through such contemplation. Such contemplation, through such consecration, gives you the status of the Sacred Bull.

Aries is connected with the spring season. Spring is a principle; the awareness springs from seeming nothingness and conducts the complex activity through its triangular forces. This spring commences with Aries. The very symbol of Aries is a spring. It is spring-up of awareness from the background, which is Absolute. Every spring-up has its periodicity, its cycle for birth, growth, decay and disappearance.

In Pisces we have the spiritual waters, the waters of the sky that are in a continuous flow. When we say “waters of the sky”, people think of the waters which are in the clouds. That are not the waters of the sky mentioned in the scriptures. Water in its subtlest form is electricity. So you have electric fire in Pisces also. That is why it is called a spiritual sign. Saraswathi is the one that conducts the flow from up above to down below; all movement of all beings, be it horizontal or vertical; all movements of the planets and even the movement of the sun around the central sun. It is all arising out of the flow, just like we see the flow in a river. You can visualise a circular flow of the energies in creation, which is called the wheel of creation.

Chakras are whirlpools of energies continuously moving in a circular fashion. Lotuses are unfolding energies. Dawn is an aspect of the unfoldment of light. According to the law of correspondence Capricorn unfolds as the heart lotus which is located between the heart centre and the throat centre. The heart chakra is different from the heart lotus. The heart chakra is regulated by Cancer, because all respiratory and circulating activity is governed by Cancer. Just above that centre, there is the Capricorn centre where there is the unfoldment of the lotus in which the Lord exists in deep blue electric colour. It is like the electric blue in the form of a small pentagon. The sound through which we need to invoke Him is also fivefold. It is called “Narayana”. These sounds are not a name. They are the potential sounds that can make you reach the centre.

Among the seven kingdoms of nature man stands in the middle. Below him are the animal, plant, and mineral kingdom. And above him are the three Deva kingdoms, which are the planetary, solar and the cosmic Deva kingdoms. Man can help to bring down the energies of the higher to the lower and thereby cause transcendence of the lower to the higher. It thus stands as a ladder between the mundane and the super-mundane worlds. When humanity is in its ignorance, it thus blocks the free flow of the higher to the lower, and thereby blocks the transformation of the lower to the higher. Man is the bottleneck or the throat of the whole system of the universe. The throat centre in man stands as such a channel between the higher and the lower in him.

Libra represents the fulcrum-principle of the universe. This fulcrum causes the rotation of the wheel. When rotation is traced at the centre of a circle, it is a double force: it is the radiating force which brings diversity from centre to circumference. It is also a blending force from circumference to centre which brings the unity from diversity. This is true in the circle and a circle is only one of the 360 planes of the globe. Within the globe the force of Libra can be traced at the centre. The point which is the beginning of the whole creation bulges out into a globe through a process of radiation by the help of the Libra principle. This sign marks the grand miracle of the whole process of objectivity coming out of subjectivity.

The Virgin in the Virgo sign is described as having an ear of corn in one hand and a lamp in the other. The ear of corn represents her son as the spiritual food of mankind. It is a matter of interest that the winter solstice marks the return home of the fruits of cultivation in the fields. The lamp is the symbol of spiritual light or the light in darkness. Objectivity is darkness to the yogi. Our light is his darkness and his spiritual illumination through subjectivity is darkness to others. The lamp therefore represents the light of initiation in darkness. Virgin, the World Mother, conceives her son in the darkness of the midnight.

To all the living beings of various planets, the Sun is the gateway to communicate with the intelligences of the cosmic plane.

A yogi has to contact Shamballa through the aid of the Hierarchy. This contact comes from the head-centre of man. For this reason, the head-centre is called the point of the highest illumination of his sun.

According to the ancient Indian tradition, Gemini represents a pair of supplementaries, subjectivity and objectivity. Subjectivity is called the Lord and objectivity is called the power of the Lord in relation to his Lady. Hence the pair represents the birth of the first Androgyne, Sakti and Siva. The emblem is called Ardhanari (the male who is half female). The sign Gemini is worshipped as the temple of the Lord at the entrance of which there are two pillars, Boaz and Yakhin (word and meaning). Man passing through the gate between the two pillars represents himself expressing as word and his concept.

It is a bull of higher circles and the planet is the cow which is impregnated by the energies of the bull. This is an annual happening. The full moon of Taurus is an important event for the planet. The energy impregnates the earth and the beings on this earth. Therefore, Taurus full moon is known as the time where you can be impregnated by the Will.

The planets we see now in the solar system are but symbols through which the concealed planetary principles are revealed as the workings of that planet. These workings of the planets form but an allegory of the life which is concealed in the planet as a principle and revealed through incidents.
Normally the sun, the moon and the earth are known only as planetary globes by the exoteric students of astrology. In fact these globes are the physical bodies of the planetary deputies in our solar system. These deputies are the conscious entities which live in those planetary globes as great living beings. They also live on these globes as the units of life that inhabit the planet. These units are called lives which are, in fact, the many atoms of the matter concerned, but of one life in the group-level or soul-level.

Nothing is ever exhausted. Even this earth does not disappear before another earth manifests. That is how the globe chains continue to keep the existences. During the period of creation there is the formation from subtle to gross; and during the time of dissolution, they are more in the subtle than in the gross. If you take the seeds of a tree - even if you do not see the tree - you can always manifest the tree through the seeds. The creation is either in the seed form or in the manifested form. So are the beings. Sometimes we are in the subtle form, and sometimes we take to a gross form. If the gross form ceases to be, you cannot say that it does not exist. It exists, though not up to the gross physical. Nothing is exhausted, nothing is spent away. Everything that is spent away comes back to you. That is the cyclical functioning, just like the waters ascend during the season of summer and descend during the season of rain. It is a cyclical movement into the subtle and again into the gross.

The number ‘Purnam’ of Aquarius is hidden in the eye of Siva. Towards the end of the worlds (Pralaya) this eye is opened. This is the case with the disciple and with the cosmos. It marks the Pralaya of all activity. “Into the pupil of this eye, all the creative forces enter and disappear. There is a pause. Again there is the reversal of the whole process. The Parasu and the Damaru of Mahadeva (the axe and the drum as emblems of the spark of light and the emanation of sound) come out. All chandases (meters or measures), all devas (creative potencies) and all Rishis (consciousnesses or gurus of Wisdom) emanate from this eye, praising the Lord of the Eye.” “Varuna merges the whole creation upon the cosmic plane into this eye through his Uranian activity. He again emerges out of the eye through his Neptunean activity in the role of Mitra-Varuna. Vena, the Gandharva, lives through the gap.”(The Tantric Texts)

Space is the true representation of the divine principle. As we are in a form, it is very difficult for us to align to the space. That is why we are advised to meditate on white light. The Sushumna column present in us is full of this white light. It is like a lighted axis. We should visualise this column connecting the Sahasrara to Muladhara as a bright white column of light. We should remain meditating on that light. We can either visualise the light in one of the seven centres or we can visualise it as a column of light connecting the seven centres present in us.

The eagle represents a bird that soars from earth to the seventh sky. Its path is of ascent and is therefore considered vertical. It adapts to noble super-mundane aspiration. Sagittarius stands for such noble aspiration. The first constellation of Sagittarius is called Mula. It literally means the corner; it represents Muladhara in us (the base centre). The constellation Aquila (the eagle) is around four degrees in Sagittarius that enables the take-off.
Ganesha is the cosmic Jupiterian principle presiding over Muladhara. His head is a symbol of wisdom. His ears represent the ability to listen. His trunk represents the kundalini force. His tummy represents fulfilment. His vehicle rat represents skillfulness. His colour is a variation from golden yellow to honey.Our body is a temple and all the cosmic intelligences that constitute the Cosmic Man exist in us in a micro form. By contemplating upon that form we develop a relation and an attunement to the Cosmic Person.

The descent of the Spirit into matter-state is a converging spiral. The Consciousness of the higher planes gradually comes down to the state of space in time. It is then imprisoned in the space as in an egg. It then descends from the fine state of the deep-blue of space (Taurus) into the state of star-dust. This descent is in the form of an inverted cone; it is like a coiled serpent concealed in a cone. From the tail of the serpent, the star-dust falls into the earth state of many stars or physical globes of sun. This is the beginning of the solar systems which imprison the soul of the sun and help the existence of material worlds.
Man also falls into the womb of the mother and has his first steps of development for physical perfection. The spirit loses the spirit-consciousness through the gradual fall and becomes matter. “When it touches the ground, it is as dark as night” in the language of H.P.B. Through hundreds of trans-formations, matter attains the level of the spirit of the state of gods with the aid of the passage from Scorpio to Taurus on the reversed wheel.

Nyasa Vidya means relating the micro to the macro. The solar system has its macro arrangement with the micro; beings relate to the macro arrangement, so that we fall in order and thus tune up to the bigger system. ‘As above so below’ is the law. The practice stated here corresponds to this law. Relating oneself to a bigger system results in transmission of energies from the bigger system to the smaller one. By this the smaller gains the same energy system as that of the bigger. What is suggested is a process of orientation. When our orientation to a larger system is complete, the energies are totally rearranged in accordance with the larger system, and we become a mini solar system. Astrology has this facility and is therefore seen as a key for self-transformation and self-realisation.

If we can have a comprehension of the matter that fills the Maha Para Nirvanic plane, we can have a true understanding of the symbol of the World Mother that is located in this sign. All the creation in the Logoic plane consists of four states of the emanation of the Lord as word, from himself to the objective world. Three states of the emanation of word are hidden in the subjectivity of man and the fourth state is the objectivity of this universe.

When he refers to IT in the first person, naturally we take to his personality than to the person, he is referring to. He refers to the Indweller of the form in the first person, but we take to the form, through which IT is expressed.
Every time it is THAT he refers to, which is called like "THIS". Only THAT appears in all. Since he has to communicate in the world, he uses the names which are generally used by others.

What we see as Sun is the reflection of the internal Sun-principle, as the externalised solar image. This reflection of the internal principle into the external brilliance is called "Moon principle". Our visible Sun is really the Moon of the Internal Sun. To our Earth the satellite Moon works out the Moon principle for the sunlight to reflect and be transformed into moonlight. Without the satellite Moon, our Earth would not have inherited minds for her children. The cosmic mind is realised by man through the rays of Neptune. The solar mind is realised through the rays of the Sun and the individual mind is felt through the rays of our satellite Moon.

The whole creation is an objectification of the subjectivity which we call God. These two aspects, Subjectivity and Objectivity are visualized as the first pair, Gemini. According to the ancient Indian tradition, Gemini represents a pair of supplementaries, subjectivity and objectivity.
Subjectivity is called the Lord and objectivity is called the power of the Lord in relation to his Lady. Hence the pair represents the birth of the first Androgyne, Sakti and Siva. The emblem is called Ardhanari (the male who is half female).

Lord Krishna playing his flute is enchanting the fellow-beings into a plane called Brindavana. The flute has seven pores modulating the seven musical scales. Similarly, along the spinal column there are seven sensitive points (the six chakras and the head-centre). The region between the throat-centre and the birthplace of Indra (a point just above the Ajna-centre and below the minor head-centre) contains all the seven main centres which bear their correspondences in the seven centres along the vertebral column. There are seven other centres above the neck (the portion of body ruled by Taurus) which bear a direct correspondence and relationship on the solar-cosmic level (second bridge) with the seven stars of the constellation of Pleiades.
Pleiades feeds the disciple with the spiritual foods secreted through the glands of that region. The Pleiades are also thought of as the wives of the seven great seers (the constellation of the Great Bear). Pleiades establishes a link between the seven stars of the Great Bear and the seven centres above the neck of the disciple.

The horse is a symbol in the Vedas for life force. Whenever they speak of the ray of the Sun, they call it the horse. That is why the scriptures say, the Sun has a chariot of seven horses and spreads as seven rays. The sunray bestows awareness and also life. It is called Asva. Asva has a very profound meaning. Asva means not Sva. Sva means past or future. That which is not past, that which is not future, is the present. Asva is the awareness which is focussed for the present; it is the most alerted one. Any being fulfilled with life is most alert.
The seers observed nature, and they found that in the horse the life force is fulfilled. So, they took the horse as a symbol for life force and the sunray as the transmitter of life force. The seven rays are a beauty to observe. Their movement is one of permeation.

Der Fisch ist das Symbol ewiger Weisheit, die in der Vorstellung des Menschen Gestalt annimmt und mit dem Meer seines Hintergrundes verschmilzt. Das Annehmen der Form nennt man den Abstieg des Herrn als Fisch nach der grossen Flut. Aus den Wolken der schöpferischen Vorstellungen ergiesst sich der Regen in die Richtungen des individuellen Willens, welcher sich wiederum zu einem Meer des Willens sammelt, auf dessen Oberfläche das Schiff treibt. Das Schiff ist der Träger oder die notwendige Begrenzung der Menschen, und es wird vom Fisch mit Hilfe des Bewusstseinsfadens geführt. Dieser Faden verbindet das Individuum mit dem allumfassenden Bewusstsein, damit es nicht im Meer des Unbewussten verlorengeht. Regelmässig wiederkehrende Fluten kennzeichnen Ende und Anfang des Jahres mit seinen zwölf Monaten. Dann wird jeder Monat durch eine Überschwemmung gekennzeichnet. Vom Vollmond zum Neumond gibt es die Startlinie für die Einschiffung der 14 Manus. Der ganze Ablauf der Fortpflanzung des Samens des Universums ist ein regelmässig wiederkehrendes Schauspiel.

The gap from the unknown to the known is what is shown to us as the pot in the symbol of Aquarius. There is water coming out of the pot, and the pot is also open on the other side. If we look at the other side there is nothing, but when we look at this end of the pot there is the continuous flow of the water.
The waves of the ocean of the space are from that centre of the space. The waves are represented by the Gandharvas and they continuously have rhythmic dancing-like movements. The king of all these Gandharvas is called Soma. Soma is another name of Shiva. You may have seen some symbols of this Lord as the dancing Lord of the universe. It is this dancing Lord that keeps making so many universes one after the other, and his dance is eternal.

The sign Capricorn is called “the Mount”. It is the Mount Sinai which marks the ascent of Moses to experience the Burning Bush in “I am that I am” and again come down to earth to lead his fellow-beings through the great journey. The formula of the Burning Bush in Man is expressed by a ‘name’ of five words which means “THE ROBE, THE GLORIOUS ROBE OF MY STRENGTH” as given out by Master Jesus. Christ gave this robe to the world once again through Jesus.
Capricorn is called the gate of death just as Cancer, the opposite sign, is called the gate of life. Souls die (enter the cycle of birth and lose themselves in the tombs of matter) into the earth life through Cancer and await the call of the Day of Judgment in Capricorn. This has got a profound symbolism.
The five words on the robe denote the inner man (the soul of man) who is the robe of the spiritual microcosm. This robe of the Lord shines forth as the five-pointed star through the gateways of his five senses. From within the man, the robe comes out as the five-pointed star and gradually covers him as the regular pentagon, when the disciple gets the investiture of the robe completely.

There are seven judges in the heavens as seven stars of the Great Bear. They come down to earth as principles, expressions, races and prototypes of men. The seventh and last of them in order is the law of protection, service and love.
Sagittarius is called the sign of judgement. Eminent judges are born under this sign. To the spiritualist, the judge in him is awakened through a meditation of the symbolism of this sign.
By the seven judges, who come down through Sagittarius as the seven layers of consciousness in man to lay the law, the balance of judgment in world affairs is conducted through the sign Libra. Man is saved by law after the judgment through Leo. The word of law is expressed through Gemini. The application of this key is left to the intuition of the student for the present.

A Kumara represents the symbol of three-dimensional cross while the God, meaning the Cosmic Person, represents a two-dimensional cross. The two-dimensional cross is fourfold, the three-dimensional cross is sixfold. When the Cosmic Person descends, he descends as a Kumara. Cosmic Person in us exists in sahasrara, when he descends as Kumara, he descends into the six centres from ajna to muladhara. The one that functions in all the six centres is Kumara, while the one who is un-manifest remains in sahasrara. Hold this basic understanding, when un-manifest he is potentially fourfold, when manifest he is sixfold.
The months of Taurus and Scorpio entertain the energies of the Kumara. The female aspect of the Kumara is presented in Taurus, while the male aspect of the Kumara is presented in Scorpio. Taurus-Scorpio is but the androgynous aspect of the Kumara. In the human constitution the vertical axis of Taurus-Scorpio permeates from ajna to muladhara.

To all the living beings of various planets, the Sun is the gateway to communicate with the intelligences of the cosmic plane. A yogi has to pass through the sun-centre to unfold into the higher levels. Our earth has got a sun-centre on it and this is Shamballa. A yogi has to contact Shamballa through the aid of the Hierarchy. This contact comes from the head-centre of man. For this reason, the head-centre is called the point of the highest illumination of his sun.
Every living being has got a sun-centre in him, which is his own consciousness as “I am”. This is the centre of his circle (horizon or point of view). This centre has its counterpart in the sun-centre of our solar system. The individual and the universal sun-centres are supplementary in nature.

In popular astrology, the colour of Virgo is an admixture of all colours. Designs and various combinations of colours are located in it. But the true picture is the manifestation of the rainbow in order. The World Mother of many ancient religions is decorated with an arch of rainbow around her head. The grace of the Lord comes down through the World Mother in seven planes, seven colours, seven scales of musical sounds, seven rounds of planets, seven planetary chains, seven root-races, etc. The whole creation is the result of His grace through seven periods of time that are called the Seven Days of creation. Hence the rainbow represents the unfolding of the Lord’s grace.

The soul is beyond the five elements. When the inner man is formed the soul is gaining its disassociation with the outer form and it relates more to the super soul. There is a super soul in you and the soul which is the man centre and there is the body in association with the soul. This is a three-in-one-situation: the god centre; the man centre, which is solar; and the body, which is related to the planet.

The descent of the Spirit into matter-state is a converging spiral. The Consciousness of the higher planes gradually comes down to the state of space in time. It is then imprisoned in the space as in an egg. Cancer is called the gateway for the souls to enter into the cycle of birth.
The gestation of the individual in his mother’s womb is but an imitation of the sun’s path along the annual rotation of the earth and also the diurnal rotation of the earth on its own axis. His development in the womb through the ten months is a symbol of his own evolutionary development or the path of the soul.
After birth he follows the same path of development within the egg of his twelve mundane houses of the horoscope. After the birth of his personality he follows the same path within the egg of twelve signs.

In the cave of the heart OM reverberates and it is a different OM when uttered with the vocal cords. The OM reverberates in the cave and then moves upwards. Follow it up consciously. This is a practice suggested by Lord Krishna in the 8th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita. Join the OM as far as you can, even beyond the Sahasrara. Just get lost with it. Visualise that we are moving from the cave of the heart, upwards to Sahasrara and above. This kind of uttering 7 times creates a funnel. When it is uttered as a group, it is much effective and it becomes a tunnel for the higher energies to descend. When we utter first, the funnel is formed and we have to be silent before uttering again. While being silent, visualise that the energies are descending from above downwards.

Dr. K. Parvathi Kumar, Discourse of 30 May, 2015, Bengaluru

The passage of the disciple from Gemini to Taurus marks the construction of the secondary bridge (manas-buddhi) from the ending of the purpose of the vocal cords in voice and the ending of the purpose of voice in Prana. The starting point of the bridge is yellow (golden) and its culmination is in blue. When the disciple loses his eyes and attempts to see inwardly through the third eye by uttering forth the sacred word, he gets to a point where his vocal sound merges in the sound of his Prana (breath). Then his Prana merges in his mind. This leads him to the buddhic plane. All this path, when successful, gives the experience of a splendorous golden-yellow light. When this fades away into the deep-blue of the sky, it is a sign of the disciple having completed the construction of this bridge. This is also the stimulation for the birth of the third eye.

The signs of the fiery triplicity are called the three great fires of the ritual (Tretagni). In the cosmic fire they exist as the electric fire (Vidyut), the solar fire (Jyothi) and fire by friction or the terrestrial fire (Pavaka). The ritual of the whole creation is described as the great day with three fires. The star dust is given out as the jet of fire which is known as the great serpent Anantha, who takes shape in the great constellation of the Dragon (cosmic Kundalini). This star dust forms into three great centres in a space globe before it is distributed into stars or solar systems. This whole story is epitomized in the three signs Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.

Pisces represents the “alpha in omega” and also “the omega within alpha” of creation. To the average man, this sign ends with the vernal equinox but to the man of the reversed wheel it begins with the vernal equinox. One who can link up these facts gets The Light. In the physical body, this sign represents the pair of feet. There is a double nature to this sign also and for this reason this sign also is located along the Sushumna like the three previous signs. These two fishes of the sign are therefore located once again in the pineal gland and pituitary body. For all the average men, they serve no function. For a disciple, who is building his Antahkarana, they aid to produce the light which builds the Higher Bridge. This light is the fusion of two great yogic impulses, the beginning and the ending of creation, that are constantly ex-pressed through man in the passage of time.

For want of terms the Absolute is called the God beyond Creation who functions through as God in Creation. In the Indian mythology the all-permeating God in Creation is called Vishnu. The God beyond Creation is called Siva. The God beyond Creation enters into the Creation and the passage for such entry is called the "Eye of Siva". Normally for a student on the occult path 'the third eye' is opened during the process of building the Antahkarana, but the third eye of Siva in man is located in the centre of the head above the Ajna centre and forms "the Higher Bridge". The eye of Siva in us is far superior to the third eye in us. The eye of Siva is the Aquarian Passage, where the seeming nothingness transforms into apparent something. The passage stands for the gap between one Creation and the other and during the gap only Aquarius remains. The whole Creation is sucked through into God beyond and is to be drawn once again.

Capricorn symbolises the ascent. Ascent is to the peak. In the year it symbolises inauguration of the ascent of consciousness from the mundane. It marks the path to liberation of man; the consciousness from man, the mind. The purpose of Capricorn is to ascend into the pure state of consciousness, which is akin to a clean sky. For this he needs to clear the individualised clouds of thoughts. The man is suggested therefore to contemplate upon the basis of the mind, which exists in him as awareness. The light of awareness is the basis of all thoughts.

The arrow mounted on the bow is symbolic of an aspirant. The arrow by itself is an aimless soul. There are many who live without any aspiration. We are here concerned with aspirants, but not others. The aspirants have to set their goal and move towards that goal. Therefore, the bow is important. The bow is required to be drawn by the string, when the arrow is mounted upon it. The drawing back of the string along with the arrow represents the withdrawal of the five senses, down deep into their buddhi. Having thus withdrawn deep into oneself, one has to sound forth the sound OM with the help of exhalation. It is exhalation that leads one to move upwards and move beyond the brow centre.

There is an upper dome of energies presided by the North Pole. In this dome, the Great Bear of Seven Stars is seen. The upper dome is visualised by the seers as the convex shell of the turtle. The lower pole energies look like an inversed dome or a dish. In this dish, it is seen the movement of the southern star called Sirius. The Sirius Constellation works like a dog, while the Seven Stars, moving around the North Pole, work like a great bear.

The southern star is the Dog Star, while the Seven Stars of the North Pole are the bear. In the human body, the North Pole is above the head. The Seven Stars of the Great Bear are in the upper dome of the skull in the region of Sahasrara. The dome of the skull is like the cave of the bear. The bear resides therein. Similarly, the Dog Star at the South Pole can be visualised in the human body, near the tip of the spine.

From your periphery, you step into the depth of your being. It is not already total depth. You come to a point where the horizontals meet verticals. The man turns from objectivity to subjectivity, and moves to subjectivity. Then he meets the vertical column within. That is what exactly Patanjali speaks of as a step after Pranayama. When your respiration has receded you into pulsation, your pulsation has receded you into subtle pulsation, then Prana is regulated. Then you meet a vertical column. This is stated as, “horizontals meet verticals”.

Isis is veiled. That is the symbol of Virgo. The symbol has a message. The message is, unveil the veils to see the Beauty, the Splendour and the Divinity of the Isis. Protection, nourishment, purity, creativity are the tools to work with. When these tools become effective in one's own life, in thought, speech and action, the unveiling process starts.
From beastliness to human and from human to Divinity is the growth, when these tools are practiced. Then Isis graces through her looks. Thus he gains the status of ‘the Son of Virgin'.

The Puranas speak of an innumerable number of space globes containing infinite number of physical suns emerging and merging. They compare these globes to the banyan fruits and the suns of each globe to the seeds in a fruit. The path to the garden of God is supposed to have many roads all lined by such trees on either side.
The universe is the form of Sri Guru Datta (Dattatreya). Sri Guru Datta permeates the whole creation as a teaching principle and is the backbone of the Hierarchies of various planetary and solar systems. Dattatreya is the Grand Teacher or "Guru principle" in the universe. The teachers in various planes are the manifestation of the one teaching principle who is referred to in the ancient Indian wisdom as Dattatreya.

Narada is a messenger in Gemini and a musician in Cancer. For this reason he is the final guru of our solar system and leads even the beings of Shamballa to the supra-cosmic plane.
On the cosmic plane Narada works as an eternal principle (not the name of a person whose activity is one unit, including the activity of Mercury, the Planet on the one end, Neptune on the other via Venus). Sanat Kumara is his colleague on the plane of Venus-consciousness. On the plane of Mercury Narada works as the intelligence to compare and contrast things (figuratively called the bringer of conflict). On the plane of Neptune he is the founder of the musical hierarchy who bestows the word of the Lord through the power of music.

Mercury is the compromising principle between the higher and the lower worlds. For this reason, he is called the messenger of gods, the speech of the divine beings and the arbitrator of the angels.
Gemini is the sign of transformation of the lower into the higher. Mercury, as Hermes the great alchemist, is the lord of this sign.
That shade of green which produces blue or which is a half-tone of blue is the colour of Gemini that helps the occultist in his meditation. One can have an idea of this colour from the crystal of copper sulphate.
The occultist can heal his fellow-beings physically, mentally and spiritually by meditating upon the throat-centre with a self-expression attuned to the vibration of the colour of Gemini and then by uttering words of comfort from that plane of consciousness.

When we come to Taurus from Gemini by following the path of the equinoxes we come across a very brilliant star which is one of the Pleiades. This is Aldebaran or the eye of the bull. When we locate the fishes also with it in a plane which is just above the Ajna centre, we find the link between the pineal and the pituitary bodies. This link is to be constructed by the disciple as the higher bridge. This is also called the birthplace of Indra (Indra Yoni) in the Vedas. The two fishes serve as the two graceful eyes of the elevated mother-nature (Minakshi). The higher bridge serves as the third eye. Only through this third eye and from the point between the 'two horns of the bull' the Lord in the temple can be seen. In the temples constructed for and consecrated to the double symbol (Lingam) of Siva, there is a rule that the Lord should be seen only through the horns of the bull located outside. Then, there comes a necessity for the lord to create a Kumara in the disciple.

In the ancient past, there was the Solar Dynasty, the Lunar Dynasty and the Dynasty of the Yadavas. We can rightfully say that the Solar Dynasty was the first ray royal dynasty. The Lunar Dynasty was the second ray dynasty, which also was royal. The Yadava Dynasty was the mixed quality. It was the dynasty of the third ray, and was also a royal dynasty. In it there was the mixture of intelligent activity of the third ray and the wisdom of the second ray. They carried wisdom and also intelligent activity.
The culture of solar dynasty still exists in some parts of Rajasthan in India. Master Maruvu (Morya) is a descendent of the solar dynasty, he is a descendent of Lord Rama. That is why his vision, speech and work are straight-forward. He is of fiery nature.

Pisces represents 'the tablet of the universe' on which an adept can read the past, present and future of the whole creation. The adepts of various schools train their students to read the "Akashic records" and the invisible books of the cave-temples by stimulating the Piscean activity in them. This is done by linking up the activity of the “eye of the bull' with that of the two fishes, the pineal and the pituitary bodies.
The secrets of the human frame and its relationship with the frame of the cosmic man are preserved and concealed in this sign as 'photographs' and reflected in the depths of the consciousness of the disciple.

There is a plane of consciousness in the human mind to which colour and sound are one. This plane finds its expression through Aquarius. It is called the plane of Gandharvas in the Vedas. "Vena" the musician who encircles the whole cosmos of 7 solar systems, singing out merrily the `song of light', is mentioned in the Vedic hymns. Apollo is no other than Vena of the Vedas. Due to his influence, the sound principles and the light principles of the cosmic, solar and planetary planes are expressed in identical scales. By establishing a link with the workings of this angel, one can mould the material existence of the universe in the required manner.

The activity of the dawn is ever a mystery. It cannot be fully explained by all the sages together of the scriptures. Many are the hymns in the Rig Veda that are devoted and dedicated to the intuitional descriptions of the dawn with all its secret keys of sound and symbol. The effect of dawn upon the beings of earth is not so simple as it seems every day. The mystery of awakening cannot be completely understood by the consciousness of objectivity. The sun's rays contain spiritual activity which will be showered upon the beings of earth during the first two hours after sunrise. The month of Capricorn in the year bears correspondence with this time. Spirit meets man through soul in this sign. The highest principle which is above creation is concealed in man through the activity of this sign.

From cosmic vibration of violet to planetary vibration of violet a channel has been established by the great initiate coming from Master Jupiter's ashram. Master Jupiter is known in the oriental scriptures as the great sage Agastya. The advent of the cosmic violet vibration was as per the plan to lift up humanity. The lift up is something when humanity can experience within him and around him the beauty of the Kingdom of God.

It is said that there are two birds on the vertical trunk of the tree of life. They are identical and co-existing. One of them enjoys by eating the fruit of the tree. The other enjoys by seeing the first bird rejoicing in eating. It is pleasant to notice that persons born under the influence of Libra are charitable and rejoice in the sight of others enjoying. The bird above exists in immortality, while the bird below eats immortality and enjoys the taste as the fragment of its experience.
Magnetic iron is the metal of this sign because it forms the lower pole of the magnet. Iron can be magnetized by the mere touch or even by the presence of a powerful magnet and this causes polarity. The effect of the touch and presence of the guru through the soul-level, which helps the disciple to build his Antahkarana is but a manifestation of magnetism.

The Lord decides to enter into you when you have gained a pure mind which enables the reflection of the Light. When you devote yourself more to the subtle planes of existence, you come very close to the light of Buddhi. Be on the Buddhic plane, contemplate and live in Him, then you have reached and accomplished the energy of Virgo. This means, you are concentrated to receive the Light in Pisces. The two eyes of the Mother are the two fishes which transmit the rays of grace. Thus the Second Logos himself gets born in the virgin mind of the one who has a virgin nature. This we call “the birth in Light”.

The home of every soul is the heart center. The heart center for the Sun is in Leo, therefore, the Sun is extremely comfortable being in Leo. The key word for the Soul in the heart or Sun in Leo is "I am". Every living being has got a sun-centre in him, which is his own consciousness as "I am".
Our earth has got a sun-centre on it and this is Shamballa. A yogi has to contact Shamballa through the aid of the Hierarchy. This contact comes from the head-centre of man. For this reason, the head-centre is called the point of the highest illumination of his sun.

Gandharvas sind suprakosmische Intelligenzen und werden nicht durch die Schöpfung konditioniert. Sie sind wie die musikalischen Noten und Wellen, die sich innerhalb und außerhalb der Schöpfung frei bewegen. Unter ihnen ist Soma einer der Hauptgandharvas und ist das Prinzip der Reflexion. Er verleiht Glückseligkeit, die eine unaussprechliche glückselige Verschmelzung der Seele mit der Überseele verursacht. Wenn dieser Gandharva erfreut ist, dann sondert er von einem Zentrum im Kopf ein Sekret ab und ermöglicht die Verschmelzung der Seele mit der Überseele. Auf drei verschiedenen Ebenen arbeiten seine Strahlen durch Neptun, Venus und Mond. Soma führt den Vorsitz über die ganze himmlische Musik und ist das Zentrum, aus dem das heilige Wort OM hervorkommt. Wenn Somas Segen den Verehrenden erreicht, dann erfährt dieser den Geburtsort der männlich-weiblichen Energien in sich. Das Somazentrum ist das höchste yogische Zentrum, wo sich die männlich-weibliche Energien im gleichen Verhältnis vermischen.

Manu is the progenitor of man. It is a solar intelligence that moulds forms for the beings for a Manvantara. The present Manu is called Vaivasvata. He is the solar angel of the buddhic plane and is considered in the Puranas as the son of the Solar God, the Sun we see. With the help of rays emanating from the Sun, the solar angel Manu weaves the bodies. Since he is the weaver of the bodies he is called Vaivasvata. He is considered in Puranas as the son of the Sun, whose name is Vivasvata. Vivasvata is the Sun. Vaivasvata is the son of the Sun. The Sun God is formed in the solar plane and his sole purpose is to build the solar system and enable beings to reach the planet, who in turn work out their evolution.
In this grand work the Solar God Vivasvata is ably assisted by his son Vaivasvata. He prepares the moulds for the beings to reside. The beings that reside in the moulds prepared by the Manu are called Manushya. Manushya means mankind. The word ‘man' has come from the word Manushya. Manushya comes from Manu.

There is a beautiful saying about the flow. It is said that the flow exists in space, then it falls on the Sahasrara of Siva (Shamballa), and from there it falls onto the Himalayas which exist in the Heart Centre. What is the Heart Centre of the planet? It is the Hierarchy.
Thus, from space onto the head of Siva, from the head of Siva to the Heart, the Himalayas, and from the Himalayas into the planes. Ganges when it comes from space it is called Akasha Ganga, "the waters of space". These "waters of space" are invoked by Siva onto his head. If the flow comes directly to Hierarchy, the Hierarchy cannot receive it. The Heart cannot receive the flow. So, Siva stands at a point to reduce the impact and the power of the flow.

Pisces is the first and the last sign of the zodiac. It represents the "alpha in omega" and also "the omega within alpha" of creation. In the physical body, this sign represents the feet. The two fish of the sign are located once again in the pineal gland and pituitary body. For the average men, these glands serve no function. For a disciple, who is building his Antahkarana, they aid to produce the light which builds the Higher Bridge. This light is the fusion of two great yogic impulses, the beginning and the ending of creation that are constantly expressed through man in the passage of time. Past and future run in opposite directions and meet in man. In the yogi, there is only one light, the eternal present. The light that comes out as a result of the fusion is called the one fish, the Fish-God. Pisces marks the ascent of man into God after passing through the final pause (flood) of creation. The colour of the sign is that of the pure sky in bright daylight.

The Master Jupiter is the Avatar of Synthesis who presides over the Aquarian Age. He conducts himself with the triangular force of Neptune, Mercury and Jupiter. He is called the Master of the Nilagiri Hills (Blue Mountains) in the Theosophical Society. He is called the great Sage Agastya in the Vedic tradition. He is the Master whose abode is in Sirius, whose functioning place for our earth is the Blue Mountains of South India. Agastya is the great sage and is the counterpart of the 7 seers of the Great Bear. While the Great Bear plays the role of Father to our systemic existence, Agastya, Master Jupiter plays the role of Guru, Teacher to our system.

Capricorn is the dawn of the solar year. It is also a dawn for the solar system and is even called the dawn of a Manvantara, i.e., 71 Mahayugas. The group of solar systems that are formed in a Manvantara are held intact by a great energy called Varaha, the Great Boar. Varaha means, he uplifts the earth from matter to spirit. This Great Boar is worshipped in the month of Capricorn.
What Varaha does, Varuna does the same in the yoga of Master CVV. He uplifts the soul from the material of Muladhara, the base centre. Varuna is the supra-cosmic intelligence who deals with the material right from the root-matter. You can visualize Varuna in the forehead. Varuna is symbolized as a five year old boy with four hands on a brilliant white dragon moving in the whitish-blue space waters. In one hand he holds the trident representing Neptune. As he moves in the waters of space, the trident is drawn on the surface creating lines of force, which are the directional lines set by Uranus in Aquarian Age. Capricorn, called Makara in the Vedic scriptures, is the white dragon, the vehicle of Varuna.

Two hours before sunrise is called the true spiritual time in the day. Practising spiritualism at this time yields the best results. The disciple gets the co-operation of the Devas, who are preparing the subconscious levels of the sleeping souls to receive the solar Logos at the dawn. The Seven Lords of Flame are said to chant the prayers of the Sun God in a low tone at this time. In the day of gods, which is our solar year, the passage of the annual Sun through Sagittarius marks this spiritual time. Let the true disciple of the path of cosmic yoga use this whole month for his realisation.

The scriptures like the Bhagavad Gita say that the Tree of Life is an inverted tree. It grows from above downwards. Its roots are in space and its branches, sub-branches, leaves and fruits are in various planes. It is an inverted tree which unfolds from a centre. Do not look for the causes in the manifest world; the causes are high up. The roots of the tree are subtler and the consequences are grosser. The Persians taught that mankind is a product of the Tree of Life; that they grew in androgynous pairs until they were separated from each other in a later human form, and that this made them weaker. This story is also in the Hindu mythology. To regain the power, the union of man and woman is recommended, because only together they are complete and round.

We have to go through the make-believe world in Libra. To function in the daylight is not so difficult, but to function in the pitch darkness of the night is what is proposed to us in the months of Libra - Scorpio. The need for Light is much more during this period. Whoever is encountering the illusion of the material eventually shall have to remember the Light. If we do not remember, the energies that Libra offers are such that we will very easily ski into passion. It is not walking into it, it is not even slipping, it is just skiing into it, taking us into the bottomless pit! The Libra - Scorpio is the pit into which everyone will fall, through passion, when we are disconnected with the thread of Light. The need for the thread of Light to continue with us during the dark hours is an important step. The importance of recollecting the Light is emphasised in the sun sign Libra.

The way of discipleship consists in purifying ourselves on all planes so that we can attune to the energies of the Mother and thus become Sons of the Virgin. The World Mother can give us the experience of the seventh plane of existence. This is called the maha-paranirvanic plane, the radiant Light of the universe. It is the origin, from which from time to time the Sons of God are born by the grace of the Mother which is also called the Virgin. Therefore a name of the Sons of God is “Sons of the Virgin”. Each Son of God is a result of virginity. When we aspire to become accepted disciples, it is necessary to aim at this purity, so that the grace of the Mother pours down to lift up the people to her state of purity and be-ness.

The White Island deals with the Plane of Light, and the Plane of Light is the field of the Soul. The White Island is beautiful in quality and in form. It carries the divine brilliance and splendour. It is ever illuminative, eternal and perpetual. The very thought of the White Island makes one stable and pleasant. The vision of the island destroys once and for all the cycle of death and birth. The residents of the island live with bodies of radiating light. They are ever engaged in uttering the sacred word that guards the worlds. The rays of Love and Light form the brick and mortar of the residences in the island. The human brow centre is a replica of this sacred land. In this land, the residents and the residences have no difference in identity. The Lord of the Most High shines forth in purity and poise endlessly, untouched by the hyper and hypo activity.
The glorious White Island is not a place or a plane to be ascended. Wherever one is, it manifests when one gains 'identity of himself with that of the surrounding'.

The cave of heart is called the ‘Sanctum Sanctorum'. One can remain peaceful in that sanctorum. It is the place in one's own being where one can experience the divine presence. It is also the spring board to step into the ashram of a Master. Madam H. P. Blavatsky refers to this ‘Sanctum Sanctorum' as the ‘Holy of the Holies'. It is the ‘Golden Temple' relating to oneself. Reaching this temple enables one to reach the ashram.

The monad is the soli-lunar angel. There is the baby descending into the womb. The lunar angel develops all the aspects of the form and the solar angel descends. In solar there is lunar. Our sun is the lunar aspect of the cosmic sun, our sun is male-female. That is why it prepares the body in the womb for seven months. When it is preparing the body it prepares the form through the lunar aspect, and then the solar angel enters into the lunar aspect of the solar angel. It is by itself male-female. The cosmic sun even is male-female. That is how the work is. Preparation of the form and joining. We prepare the house and when it is ready we enter into the building.

A swan moves in pure waters that are equal to the pure ether. Swan is Hamsa in Sanskrit. Hamsa is the centripetal and centrifugal functioning of pulsation, the double principle of pulsation. The door of pulsation is the heart. The Hamsas (Swans) are the movements in us as pulsation and also as thoughts. The Swans of pulsation have the characteristics of musical notes. They form the bases of musical singing by the beings. The music details into varieties of Ragas (compositions) as per the time of the day and the season. These Swans can muse the mind and the ego onto Pure Consciousness and Existence. This is ‘the path of music' for the return of the beings to Samadhi. Such is the work of the Swans of pulsation.

When Krishna played his flute, he expanded into the vicinity in the form of his music: One consciousness thrilled through all the living beings. It started from the flute of Krishna and reached the ocean through the pool of consciousness of the humanity. Krishna began to come out of his body in the form of his exhalation as music. He began to expand into the pervasion of his presence. After a few minutes, music seemed to flow through the flute by itself and come out of the seven holes of the flute until it touched the heart of the humanity and soaked it in bliss. All seemed to be a wave of soul consciousness. No one existed except the one soul in all. The minds of all melted away and it was an ocean of existence."

The mineral kingdom marks the point of unique condensation. This is produced under the action of fire and by the pressure of the "divine idea." Esoterically speaking, we have, in the mineral world, the divine Plan hidden in the geometry of a crystal, and God's radiant beauty stored in the color of a precious stone. The goal of the universal concept is seen when the jewel rays forth its beauty. If you could study the hidden processes which go on under the influence of fire, you would enter into the secret of initiation. When the day comes when the history of the mineral kingdom can be grasped by the illumined seer, he will then see the long road that the diamond has traveled, and - by analogy - the long road that all sons of God traverse, governed by the same laws and unfolding the same consciousness.

In Raja Yoga, the grand Masters sitting in the North-East pull us up. That is the lift-up. “May He lift up the Earth!” They lift up the Earth from North-East. North-East is the junction point between Absolute God and God as Light. It is that point where darkness is transformed into light. In the Raja Yoga practice, you visualise the Masters at the North-East, at the top of your forehead, and seek their help, so that you are pulled up to that state of awareness. In Hatha Yoga practice, the help of these grand Teachers is sought for a push up. They can push you up or they can pull you up.

The sign Pisces is normally understood as the last sign of the zodiac. It is, in fact, the first and the last sign of the zodiac. This fact is denoted by the symbol of the two fishes travelling in opposite directions. If Capricorn is the "alpha and omega of the whole creation", Pisces represents the "alpha in omega" and also "the omega within alpha" of creation. To the average man, this sign ends with the vernal equinox but to the man of the reversed wheel it begins with the vernal equinox. One who can link up these facts gets The Light.

The One manifests as two and the two interact with each other, making various systems. The one centre from where these two energies descend is called "Aswins" or the twin Gods. The sign Aquarius represents this state, in which the two potencies are concealed, which form the expressions of time and space, of the divine breath. They are called Mitra and Varuna or the "Not untrue Beings", because they are beyond the real and the unreal. They descend from the supra-cosmic plane as the twin horses with wings. They both conceive the great dweller of the supra-cosmic plane as Vasishta and in the cosmic plane as Agastya. These two seers preside over the spiritual dwellers of their respective planes. At the Planetary level, Vasishta functions through the Himalayan Hierarchy and Agastya through the Blue Mountains. The two Hierarchies represent the two triangles. Vasishta governs the higher triangle and Agastya the lower triangle.

The sign Capricorn is called "the Mount". In the year this month bears correspondence with the dawn. Capricorn is located as the higher activity of the lotus between the throat-centre and the heart-centre. This lotus is called the seat of Narayana (the highest Spirit above creation). The lord within the chakra of the heart-centre is much different from the lord within the lotus of the heart. The spiritual student who is born in this sign has his path of direct yoga by meditating upon this symbol near his heart.

In the physical body of a disciple, Shamballa is located in the head-centre and it is directly linked up with the Lord Sanat Kumara who resides in the great centre on this earth called Shamballa. The Puranic prophecies assure that the Kali yuga comes to an end by the advent of the world teacher, Kalki Avatar (the Man on the Horse or the Man with the body of a Horse) who comes from a plane called Shamballa. The saviour is said to return on a white horse, destroy injustice, conduct judgement, sit on the throne and re-establish law. This is the story of the Kalki Avatar of the Puranas and the story of the return of the Lord on a white horse in the Book of Revelation. This marks the working of the equinox in Sagittarius. In this sign, the Lord on the white horse is concealed in the figure of half-man and half-horse.

The serpent (the downward spiral path of fall into matter) tempted man and woman. They ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge (the origin of the mind). There was the fall of the man. This is the story of the activity of Scorpio. When the serpentine consciousness of Kundalini is raised from the bondage of Muladhara (the base-centre), Swadhishtana (the spleen-centre) and Manipuraka (the solar plexus), it manifests as the word of blessing from the throat-centre. If the disciple raises this further by keeping silent, it manifests as the divine-winged serpent from the lotus that forms between the throat-centre and the Ajna chakra. If the student of yoga closes his eyes, controls his prana by pranayama and meditates upon the centre of the forehead in between the eyebrows, this gives the disciple a thrill from the pituitary body downwards. This "pituitary hint" calls forth Kundalini to travel safely upwards without the dangers of the lower regions.

Many are the secrets of Libra. The whole bubble bulging like a globe is an aspect of Libra. Emergence of a point and becoming a space globe is an aspect of Libra. An emergence of an impulse becoming a planetary globe is an aspect of Libra. The growth from the centre to the circumference is an aspect of Libra. The point bulges on all sides, from centre to circumference and from circumference to centre. The key is held by Libra.

Kwan-Shai-Yin is identical with, and an equivalent of the Sanskrit Avalokiteshwara, and as such he is an androgynous deity. Under his female aspect, he becomes Kwan-Yin, the goddess of mercy, called the "Divine Voice." In the Vedic and the Puranic symbolism, this plane of the divine Word is also called Gayatri, the Great Mother of the Dawn. The World Mother is called the Virgin, who finds her expression as a principle in nature and in man through the sign Virgo.

Like every sun sign Leo has three planes. The Sun itself, the ruler of Leo, is a threefold sun: The sun globe we know, in the centre of the solar system, is the mind of the Sun, while the central sun is the soul of the Sun and the cosmic Sun is the spirit aspect of the solar principle. The solar centre in us is the heart centre. The centre of the central sun, also called Savitri, is the higher ajna centre in us. The cosmic centre is in Sahasrara.

The scriptures say that the solar God of fire comes to the lunar mansion of the Goddess in Cancer. Cancer is the cardinal sign relating to the Mother, and then there is reception of the Father into the Mother's house. Cancer is also known as the sun sign related to the birth of the souls into the bodies. To some the birth of the soul is a facility, to others a problem. It depends on the degree of awareness.

"THE MASTER", who transmitted pure energies into Master CVV, permitted him to distribute the energies to those willing to get into synthesis. It was the 29th May, 1910. Since then this day is regarded important and is referred to as "May Call Day". Master CVV stated that on every 29th May, THE MASTER MAY CALL those who wish to get into the Energies of Synthesis.

The Mother of Light or Wisdom is called Saraswathi. The Vedic understanding of Saraswathi is, a deity in resplendent white holding a seven-stringed instrument in the hand, mounted upon a resplendent white swan. A swan moves in pure ethers or waters; that which moves in higher planes is willing to descend into the one who holds a body with light
The Heavenly Word moving in the higher planes continuously throws out these swans; they are responsible for our ideas, thoughts and speeches. The Word is Truth. It is received at the lower levels by Mercury. Mercury is the receiver of the Word. From higher to lower he brings messages. All alchemy is with Mercury. Anything can turn into gold, including speech. Mercury is the Lord of Gemini. This advantage is taken by the Masters of Wisdom to initiate people into the kingdom of God in the month of Gemini.

The disciple of the spiritual path has to lift the lower centre and merge it in the higher. For this reason, the sign Taurus signifies the woman in man while Gemini signifies the woman and the man. Woman as one-half of man is denoted by Gemini. Woman as the heart of man is denoted by Taurus. Taurus is the symbol of Lord Vishnu with Lakshmi in his heart. When the activity of the lower pole is sublimated into the purest expression of love at the higher pole, it signifies the woman in the heart of man.

The supreme God principle is self-existing without mother and father. When He wants to come down as creation, He gives out the mother-principle which was hitherto slumbering in Him. She comes down and conceives Him in her womb as her child. Then the Lord comes down as the first manifestation of the Lord who is called Virat or Hiranyagarbha, the self-effulging egg. The mother-principle descends into all the series of planes of creation up to the grossest material plane. The Cosmic Person (Purusha) has come down in 10 steps and presides over creation. The 10 points together form the Universal Soul, and the central point represents the individual soul.

Pisces is the spiritual escape of death. The secret of longevity is concealed in this sign.The two fishes serve as the two graceful eyes of the elevated mother-nature (Minakshi). The disciple who comes under the influence of this sign or who is born under this sign, can transmit and receive grace through the eyes. It is said that the larvae of a kind of fish in the ocean are hatched by the looks of the mother. Blessing through grace of look is one of the faculties that a disciple of this sign will inherit.

All cause and effect only exist when you are in the state of thoughts. In the state of awareness there is neither cause nor effect; they are dissolved. As long as you don't understand and realise that you are pure consciousness you will not be able to overcome the causal body. You know that you are only a light projected from THE LIGHT.

In Aquarius we see the Mother with a water pot. Through creation she brings the unknown down to the known. She is the passage between the unknown and the known. The symbol of Aquarius shows the pot with an opening on either side. We see the downpour of waters from this side of the opening, but we do not see what is happening on the other side of the opening. As the waters manifest we are able to see, but we are not able to see the source of its manifestation. The passage from seeming nothingness to apparent something cannot be known unless the Aquarian Consciousness is gained.

All Devas emerge from Devi, because She is the original light, the cosmic light, the light of the world, the primordial light, called Aditi in Veda. Any light is part of that Light. It is not independent of it, because the Mother is the Light from which various lights emerge. Aditi gives birth to Adityas, the 12 sons, the 12 solar principles which give birth to groups of dozens of solar systems.

The month of Sagittarius is dedicated to Narayana. Narayana means the ascending and descending waters of life. The full moon of Sagittarius is the full moon of Dattatreya, the Lord of Love and Wisdom who moves upon the planet in mysterious forms. Lord Dattatreya is described as the Lord with three heads and four arms. All avatars of Dattatreya are also avatars of Ganesha, because Ganesha is Dattatreya on the physical plane. The Ficus Religiosa is the tree relating to the energy of the teacher, Dattatreya.

The goddess of fullness and joy is called Lakshmi in India, the Mother of Splendour, and worshipped in golden-yellow. Lakshmi represents wealth, effulgence, good luck and beauty. The two lotuses stand for the unfoldment into the subjective and objective light. The elephant stands for wisdom and fullness.

Secrecy is the keynote of the sign. Oil mines and hidden treasures are linked up with Scorpio. Wherever there is no possiblity for the sunshine to enter and wherever there is constant darkness, there is the influence of Scorpio. Disappearance is the activity of this sign and the house. The disappearance of the light of the soul, through a gradual fall into matter-state is the proces that occurs here. Suspension of consciousness, due to the predominance of the material plane on the higher planes is the activity. Death, loss of consciousness, fainting and coma are caused by the influence of this sign.

In the Vedic tradition they worship the Mother Durga, the dweller of the threshold. That threshold has to be consciously passed. You recognise the threshold as Durga, the mother. Unless you are in a program of discharging your karma you will not enter. Her tiger does not let you in if you don't do your objective work properly. That is why Durga teaches the related discipline to subjectivity. From plane to plane there is the threshold. You can only pass unless you have fulfilled the related activity and gained the related enlightenment. If you walk into greater light without preparation you get back.

The lamp is the symbol of spiritual light of the light in darkness.

When the earth begins to tilt back from the highest point of the summer solstice, the Sun appears to travel sidewise from North to South. Hence it is described as a crab while passing through this sign. A branch of symbolism represents it as the beetle which can resurrect a worm into a butterfly. This marks the transformation of matter into mind, the passage to spirit. The picture illustrates three aspects of the symbolism of this sign.

16th April 2011

According to the ancient Indian tradition, Gemini represents a pair of supplementaries, subjectivity and objectivity. Subjectivity is called the Lord and objectivity is called the power of the Lord in relation to his Lady. Gemini is worshipped as the temple of the Lord at the entrance of which there are two pillars. The picture shows on three planes, between and above the pillars, Krishna and Radha as a symbol of duality and union.

21st May 2011

In the book Spiritual Astrology Master EK says that Uranus is the ruler of the Aquarian energies and that Master CVV had a spark of the metal Uranium emanating from his heart lotus. The picture symbolically represents the reception of the energies and how they emanate from the heart centre.

11th March 2011

In the Vedas Taurus, the Bull, represents the sound principle. Creation is also called the roar of the bull whose sound fertilises consciousness. The bull thus also symbolises the Divine Word which is received by Spiritual Hierarchy in the month of Taurus as the Plan for the year. Allegorically the bull is represented as Nandi, the vehicle of Lord Shiva. Incessantly he looks at Lord Shiva who sits there in the form of a lingam. The picture of the month, "Taurus - Receiving the Milk of Wisdom" illustrates this deep symbolism.

04th March 2011

The beginning of the year of spring equinox precisely corresponds to the beginning of the day where symbolically speaking the solar chariot, "drawn by seven horses like one" appears on the eastern horizon. In eastern wisdom the horse is worshipped as the vital force and Aries as the head of the horse. Symbolically this is represented by the horse-headed God Hayagriva. The sound Hayagriva establishes a link between the crown centre and the ajna centre, by which the spiritual light emerges in us. The picture shows the heads of seven horses in the glyph of Aries above a radiant sunrise.

14th November 2010

Man is an image of the Heavenly Man expressing himself through the different planes of creation. The zodiac, the solar system, but also our planet earth are different planes of the Cosmic Man. The picture expresses these planes, and by looking into the twinkling eyes of the Cosmic Man, we can merge with them.

06th November 2010

The two fishes of the sign stand for the two eyes of the World Mother. Through the eyes the light pours out and they convey the radiance of her grace. It says that through the eyes a man can receive and convey blessing. The look of a master causes the birth of the higher man in the lower. When the light descends into us, then it is the One who sees through our looks. The picture shows the look of the World Mother, surrounded by two fishes in the circular streaming of the energies of creation.

30th October 2010

In Sanskrit ether is called "Kam"; it is a sound which brings us out of limitations and stabilises us in the etheric existence. The sun god Apollo with his seven-stringed lyre is a symbol for the penetration of all planes of creation with sound, from the unmanifest to the dense physical form. On the picture Apollo holds his lyre and the Aquarian pot from which the etheric currents pour out through space and bring unfoldment on all planes.

17th October 2010

With winter solstice the light in the northern hemisphere starts to increase again, and therefore we speak of the dawn of the years. At the time of dawn the buds of the inner flowers can more easily orient to spiritual light and unfold, especially during Capricorn. For at this time the sun rays contain a spiritual quality which is poured out over the beings of earth and thus spirit meets man through the soul. The five-pointed star is the sign of the descent of spirit for the ascent of the souls. The meeting symbolically happens on the mountain top which the sign of Capricorn represents. Receiving the energies in group form is particularly effective. The picture illustrates this encounter with picture elements from group meetings of the WTT at the Guru Pooja in Visakhapatnam, India, and Mount Kailash, which stands for the planetary entrance of spiritual energies.

9th October 2010

Each year the month of Sagittarius offers us a big opportunity for ascent if we focus our attention to shoot up. On a daily basis we experience the energy of Sagittarius during the two hours before dawn, they are regarded as the best time for all spiritual exercises. With the right alignment we can use the energy of Sagittarius to ascend from the higher base centre through the spiritual column of Sushumna within the vertebral column. The picture illustrates this focused ascent and how through invoking the energies from higher circles pour down via the soul.

4th September 2010

The great symbols of Scorpio are the serpent and the eagle. The serpent represents time, its downward movement leads to the densification of matter veiling and hiding the soul. If this force is directed upwards it becomes a winged serpent and an eagle of Light soaring up to the Divine. An initiate is compared with a winged serpent or an eagle, for he has transformed the scorpion and liberated himself from all poisonous, harmful inner tendencies. The picture shows the ascent of the serpent and the eagle rising to the divine Light.

14th August 2010

On higher planes Venus is the ruler of Libra in order to manifest pure love through the unfoldment of the lotus of the soul. The heart lotus appears like a twelve-petalled lotus, with four triangles placed one above the other in different directions. Through the central channel the energy beyond flows vibrating like OM. The picture is inspired by the description of the heart lotus in the book of Sri Kumar, "The Teacher - Meaning and Significance", N° 46.

08th August 2010

Libra begins with the autumn equinox. Its sign represents the horizontal bar of the scales, the balancing of the pairs of opposites. It also stands for a bird with spread out wings which don't touch the horizontal plane of the earth - the bird is always floating above creation. The colour of Libra for the man on the lower plane is red, for a disciple on the path violet, and later a mixture of blue and pure white. Venus is the ruler in worldly and spiritual matters, Saturn is the teacher and its esoteric ruler is Uranus. The picture illustrates the different symbols of the sign.

18th July 2010

Virgo stands for the seed of slow maturing and deep transformation. She carries in one hand an ear of corn, symbol of nourishing through the grains of wisdom, and in the other a lamp, the light of wisdom. As the Mother of the World she is surrounded by a rainbow as a veil. The picture shows the virgin as a part of a blossom of a lily. The lily, symbol of purity, is based on the number 6 and has 6 petals, just as Virgo is the sixth sign of the zodiac. In the soil there is the seed which might bring manifold fruit in future.

The picture: Unfoldment - The Heart of Man - The Heart of Space is inspired by "Occult Meditations" 57.

27th June 2010

The sign of Leo is related to the heart centre. It is the seat of the pulsating principle of life in us, whose movement is also called the song of life or the roar of the lion. In the east it is symbolically presented as the Divine Mother on the lion. The Spiritual Hierarchy is the planetary heart centre, thus Leo full moon is also celebrated as the future festival of Hierarchy. The picture shows the "Mother on the Lion" in front of the cave of the heart formed by the symbol of Leo, three Great Ones of Hierarchy as well as the symbol of the sun, the ruler of the sign.

24th May 2010

The sign of Cancer stands for the mother and the birth of the souls into matter. The mother is the light of consciousness. If we forget this light, we lose ourselves in matter. The teacher helps us to keep the connection with the light. In India Cancer full moon is therefore celebrated as the full moon of the world teacher. The painting "Cancer - Mother and Child" represents the descent and ascent of the soul, the solar angel.

15th May 2010

The month of Gemini serves for the distribution of the energies received through Aries and Taurus from Shamballa via the Hierarchy to humanity. Gemini full moon is the full moon of humanity and of group initiation. The hierarchy guides humanity to become intelligent servers and to devote their lives more and more to the selfless service of the Plan.
