🌻 The Sound Formula 🌻

The Gayatri consists of four verses; the last three verses form the main mantra:  OM BHUR BHUVA SUVAHA / OM TAT SAVITUR VARENYAM / BHARGO DEVASYA DHIMAHI / DHIYO YONAH PRACHODAYAT. Its meaning is, “We meditate upon the cosmic Lord of Light so that the light of the soul may embrace us and alert our wills.”

Each of the three verses has eight syllables (in Sanskrit); in total they are 24 syllables. The first line is not part of the mantra itself. 

“OM BHUR BHUVA SUVAHA“ speaks of the manifestation of “SAVITUR“, the light beyond our sensory, mental and buddhic awareness. Bhur is the physical plane, Bhuvaha the vital plane and Suvaha the mental plane. 

Then we say, “Tat Savitur Varenyam“, to reach the buddhic plane. It means, “May the Light of the central sun (coming through our sun) embrace us.” 

Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi means, „We meditate on the cosmic sun“, the Lord of the Cosmic Will. And with “Dhiyo Yonah Prachodayat” we ask the divine Will to descend so that it may work in us and awaken our will.

Uttering the mantra in all three pitches cleanses the three vehicles and restores the balance between the solar plexus and the heart centre. 

The hours of dawn and dusk are particularly auspicious for the utterance of this mantra. The light should be invoked with a pure mind and after also having cleansed the body.

We should sing the mantra consciously, so that by aligning our mind our will can be stimulated through the Divine. It is the same thought like in the Great Invocation: “From the centre where the Will of God is known, let purpose guide the little wills of men”. 

We should pay attention to utter the Gayatri consciously so that our mind doesn’t just pass it on to our tongue and throat; for mechanical singing runs like a cassette recorder and the effect doesn’t occur.

🌻. Invocation of Light  🌻

Before creation began, there was the space unbound. We call the content of space the eternal background Light; the many forms of light emerge from it. 

This source of all light is also called the universal awareness, the Light of Truth. Since the dawn of time, it is also worshipped as the Divine Virgin and the Mother of the World. 

In thousands of ways the ancient seers have invoked the Light and meditated on it. They have realised that all of us are a spark of that light which we perceive as “I AM”. 

It radiates into our individual consciousness and gets coloured individually. It expresses through our many thoughts and ideas and further descends into the activity of the senses and the body.

The sound formula for invoking the Light was subsumed to a 24-syllabed mantra by the seer Vishvamitra. He called it the Gayatri mantra; it is said to be the greatest mantra after the OM. 

This sound formula invokes the light of the cosmic sun, the central sun and the physical sun of our system that it may strengthen our will and enlighten us.

Vishvamitra called the mantra, the deity and the meter of 24 syllables with the same name, Gayatri. He discovered the Gayatri mantra at the beginning of an earlier Aquarian age. 

In every Aquarian age there is a rapid expansion of consciousness, and thus it is no coincidence that as we are entering again into an Aquarian age this mantra has become global through the work of spiritual Hierarchy. 

By the way, Vishvamitra is not the name of this great seer but a title which was conferred upon him and which means “friend of the universe”. The name was used for many of his descendants.

The Gayatri mantra is sung individually for self-purification and also in groups for the protection of the world. 

The Gayatri should be learned with the instruction of an experienced teacher, because its light is strong and a wrong intonation can mislead. There are many distortions concerning intonation, symbolism and meaning. 

The sounds should be uttered in a musical and rhythmic way, aloud and not murmured. For a better effect of the mantra the sound also should not be prolonged.

In India it was a customary practice to sing Gayatri alone and silently inside. But Master EK emphasized, “I tell you to sing the Gayatri aloud, for this was the ancient tradition”, and also that it should be sung in groups. At first the society could not accept it, but gradually this is done throughout India.

The sound formula of Gayatri is in Sanskrit but it is not Indian, just as light is not Indian. The essence of Gayatri relates to the entire universe. 

All those who feel inclined to sing the Gayatri can do so; it shouldn’t be denied to anyone.

🌻. New Models for the Bodies 🌻

It is the responsibility of the Manu to further the development of the forms of the human body, so that we can live as souls and fulfil our plan. 

If we identify with the personality, which is merely an instrument for the expression of the soul, we forget that we are a soul and have a body; we become prisoners of this mistaken identity. 

To enable the humans to enter into subjectivity more easily, an impulse came down from supra-cosmic planes at the beginning of the last century. Master CVV received, assimilated and transmitted the Energy of Synthesis to speed up the evolution on the planet.

Master CVV made unbelievable statements. He said that our body structures show deficiencies and weaknesses and that the pituitary has to be rectified, because it suffers from many limitations. 

He had given instructions to the Manu to prepare new moulds. The new models of the body would enable the humans to turn subjective and to reach the buddhic plane. 

The people in his surrounding thought that the Master went crazy but his statements have come true.

The Manu started preparing new moulds according to the suggestions of Master CVV. 

“The bodies that will be constructed hereafter will carry a new pituitary”, said the Master. As a result, the humans born after the 2nd World War have better bodies than those born before. Further improvements have been done in 1962, 1976, 1988 and 2005. 

Thus the children we have today are much more electric and receptive; they go well with the Aquarian age. Their perceptions are better, deeper and faster than with older people; they also can handle electronic devices like computers much faster. 

Never before the human models have changes so fast. It is now expected that every ten years we make the progress of a century.

🌻. The Law of Manu 🌻

The code given by Vaivasvata Manu includes social, ethic and spiritual codes of conduct. He has introduced sacraments to help the people to lift up from the animal level to a yogic life. 

He gave marriage as the best sacrament for human beings: two soul-companions get together and travel together for incarnations. Such a companionship, where the relation is a communion of the souls and not oriented to the bodies, is the highest purpose of marriage. 

In this monogamous companionship the partners learn to share with each other, to sacrifice and to live in the heart of the other. When they are separated in the outer by way of death, they stay connected in the heart, and neither the man nor the woman marries again.

Manu made the natural act of sex a ritual. The sex enjoyment should be experienced as a worship of coming together under the guidance of planets in good combinations, to give harmonious possibilities for children to incarnate. 

The family structure teaches sharing responsibilities and respecting the other’s views; it gives the basis for cordiality and the development of group consciousness.

This was the original law for living together; however, it got degenerated. False values and the pressure of modern life have fatigued many men and women and made them meet many unnecessary situations. 

The children also get into a suffocating atmosphere in the schools at an early age. The higher values will come back in the new cycle of time. 

In the social structure of the Aquarian age, the family group should be reorganised according to the concept of the Manu and the Masters of Wisdom; and education should be made available at home again to be able to impart something valuable to the children.

🌻 The Weaver of Light 🌻

In Sanskrit the Sun is called “the weaver”, “Vivasvata”. The energies pouring out of it flow around our planet, and its charge produces the energy field of its prana, together with the rotation of the earth. The son of Vivasvata, the weaver of light, is Vaivasvata. 

He is also called the mind of the Sun, the light of the soul or Buddhi. In us it is the buddhic plane or the higher mind. Our mind has two sides: the lower mind is oriented to the outer world and we use it for our everyday life. 

The higher mind can reflect the light of the soul. Through meditation we try to turn the mind inwards, to the light of the soul.

The light of the soul of our earth works as Buddhi through the Hierarchy. The soul of the planet is focused through the centre of Shamballa; its mind expresses through mankind. 

Just like our mind manifest through thoughts and actions, the work of the Manu brings forth the formations of matter. 

As the great architect he watches that the forms of the beings are moulded in a way that they can progressively absorb a greater measure of light and that the beings are slowly lifted up to higher kingdoms. 

The law of human evolution is called the law of Manu, he gives the Dharma to the humans, how they should live according to their destiny. If we live according to this law, we gain balance and knowledge.

🌻. Manus, Manvantaras, Manushyas 🌻

The Vedic scriptures describe that from time to time creation emerges from out of the background of infinite space as a big breath of Brahma, the Creator. The span of creation between emerging and merging is called a Day of Brahma in the Puranas. During this incredibly long day there are 14 Manus; they are called the mind-born children of Brahma. Each Manu rules over a huge period called “Manvantara” which covers the unimaginable duration of 72 Maha Yugas; and a Maha Yuga is 10 times the duration of a Kali Yuga or dark age. All these divisions pass through their unfoldment like the tender folds of a bud. And each tender fold brims with life, consciousness and the perfection of a group of souls.

Not all of the gigantic epochs of the Manvantaras belong to the physical plane of the earth, but also to the subtler planes of creation called the Lokas. The 14 Manus are considered a great unity, a soul taking umpteen births and illuminating the age. The present humanity is the fifth wave or race out of a cycle of Manvantaras ruled by the Manu Vaivasvata.

The 14 phases of the moon between new moon and full moon correspond to the 14 principles of the Manus. New moon represents the time of dissolution, and full moon the full light. The brightness of the 14 ascending and the 14 descending phases of the moon correspond to each other in reverse order: the first ascending phase of the moon equals the 14th descending phase; the second ascending phase of the moon equals the 13th descending phase. Vaivasvata Manu is the 7th Manu on the ascending arc of increasing light – the earth moves from matter to spirit.

The Manu is the principle of the cosmic mind in creation. He works on the cosmic, solar and planetary planes also including those in man. The prototype of the solar Manu is living on earth as a person and is called through various births as Vaivasvata Manu. Even today he exists in a physical body along with his group of co-workers. He is responsible for the moulds of the human body, so that the souls can incarnate correctly. Once he lived in South India and gave the content of the law of “Manu Smriti”. The teachings of the Manu, however, are different from the book composed by scholars in the name of Manu, with some distortions. His direct teachings are imparted by spiritual masters to disciples in all times.

The Manu incarnates the consciousness of the Manvantara, the divine mind. Our mind is a part of this big mind. In the Great Invocation we say, “From the point of Light within the Mind of God let Light stream forth into the minds of men. Let Light descend on earth.” This point of Light is the Manu. We say it every day but we don’t know it.

The principle of the Manu enables us to think; therefore in Sanskrit we are also called Manushyas, descendants of Manu. The word Manu is reflected in the English word “man”, which comprises the male and the female. It is also the root leading to the German word “Mensch”, the being endowed with mind (mens – Latin word for mind). Our being contains two parts: the material body, to which refers the English word “human”, being related to “humus”, meaning mud. In essence, however, we are thinking beings, endowed with Atma-Buddhi-Manas; as divine souls we come from above and have self-consciousness. The English word “mankind” refers to this; in spiritual terms it differs from “humanity” fundamentally and is the more appropriate expression.

Master CVV

Master CVV led a splendorous life as a very magnetic personality and was admired by people from all walks of life. He was a Vedic scholar, a musician and a mayor of the town. He waited for the arrival of the energies which were transmitted via Halley’s Comet to our planet on 30 March 1910. On that date the tail of the comet touched the Earth. In the silence of the midnight hour Master CVV was sitting prepared in meditation posture, when the energies stroke into his house with a lightning and a big thunderclap. The neighbours came running together, for they thought that the house would have been destroyed. But they found the Master in deep contemplation in an anteroom with an open window. He was radiating bright light. The people were irritated and withdrew again. The next morning they visited him and asked him for an explanation. The Master said, “The energies of the New Age have come. I have invoked them into me, assimilated them and will distribute them to humanity in due time.”

After having received the energy he started to work with it. With the help of this energy, which today we call the Avatar of Synthesis, he conducted many scientific experiments and understood the purpose of its visit: conducting transformations with the sheaths of the planet and to speed up the development on all planes, i.e. on the mineral, plant, animal, and human kingdom. The human beings should be liberated from the gross material tendencies and finally be lifted up to the planes of Light, to the etheric planes. For this purpose he also received sound keys.

From 31 March till 28 May 1910, the Master performed many different experiments. From 29 May on, the May Call Day, he started distributing the energy. First, he said that this energy has come to initiate mankind, so that they can transcend death. The energy will help mankind to neutralise the karma of the past to be able to proceed faster. There would be fast transformations in the understanding. The body tissues will be transformed; emotions will be vaporised, concepts will be broken, so that there are no more solidified ideas of right and wrong. He promised that he would create our golden body, if we follow his rules. He emphasised that the present human bodies are not suited for a complete experience of life and that the “spiritual” can only be experienced correctly if the model is changed. Therefore, he proposed rectifications of the body models.

He prophesised that the energy, which he was transmitting, would return to India only after having been well established in South America, North America and in Europe. To become a channel for the energies of synthesis, the Master gave the sound key “Namaskarams Master CVV”. He added that the sound should not be repeated like a mantra but that it is enough to invoke the sound key in the morning and in the evening and to offer oneself to the energies. Then you should be silent for 15 minutes and observe the happening inside. He said that it takes at least 15 minutes, so that the energies can spread through all the corners of the body and thus the necessary adjustments can happen. Further, we should contemplate on every form as the Master: The Master is the background consciousness of all there IS, and therefore we should recognise all forms as divine.

The event of the descent of the energies happened over 100 years ago; their effect gets bigger from year to year but the work of transformations happens in silence. In the books of Master DK, the importance of Master CVV is described as an Avatar of Synthesis, his name, however, is not directly mentioned. The 5th stanza of the Great Invocation was received by Master DK together with the other stanzas, but for certain reasons it remained hidden for some time. The invocation of the downpour from the Avatar of Synthesis helps with the ascent.

🌻 Expectation of the Coming 🌻

Before the coming of an Avatar there is mostly an expectation of his advent, but the Higher One decides how it wants to descend. Human beings cannot decide how and where a divine manifestation should take place. When Krishna came down the seers knew that an Avatar would come. They made their plans but he came in his very own way. When Krishna was born, his parents lived in the prison and he was brought by his father to step parents in a miraculous way, where he grew up at first unrecognised.

In connection with the coming of the Avatar of Synthesis, there were great expectations at the beginning of the 20th century. Madam Blavatsky knew that a great energy with the rank of an Avatar would descend to the planet. Her followers took up her hint and tried to prepare a pure person as a channel for this energy. They thought that the young Krishnamurti would receive this energy and prepared him for it. He was a pure soul but things didn’t happen as the theosophists had planned. Krishnamurti was frustrated about it and parted from the Theosophical Society.

The Divine had another plan; the energy never comes down as man decides or would like to have it. The plan manifested through the ashram of Master Jupiter, and thus Master CVV was born in 1868. He was an advanced disciple from the ashram of Master Jupiter. He chose as his birthplace the South Indian town of Kumbhakonam. In Sanskrit kumbha means the pot of Aquarius and konam means angle. The “Aquarian angle” is the place where already in the past Aquarian age, 26000 years ago, the Aquarian energy descended.

🌻 Descent of the Divine 🌻

In every living being the divinity is present, either in a special form or in complete wholeness. 

When we encounter divinity in a being in completeness and wholeness we call it an Avatar, an incarnation of God. In the Eastern wisdom teachings Avatars are a descent of a sublime being, of a God on Earth. 

For them there is no need to be born in a mortal body. The scriptures say that the omnipresent God takes to a form of an Avatar through his celestial power of Maya. 

Thus the Lord descends into a physical body through which the divine consciousness radiates. He is the “Word made flesh”, and symbolically we live on “His blood and His wounds”.

When the Divine functions through a human being as his instrument and the human has prepared himself to let the function happen, he is called a teacher. Wherever something good is happening through a human form, anything that helps humanity to take a major step forward, the Divine is at work. 

And wherever something good happens, wherever the eternal truth is presented without the colouring of any religion or ideology, we should respect these messengers. It is one electric current passing through so many instruments.

When an Avatar is born, this event generally remains unnoticed. Avatars are also often not recognised by their contemporaries. 

They do their work in a simple and humble way and then go again. But with the time, their impact makes it clear that here the Divine has expressed itself. 

Just like from a source a feeble spring of water comes forth which in its coursing grows bigger and bigger and increases to a grand river, the work of an Avatar unfolds little by little. Our eyes are opened by the narrations of the sages of the past. 

The stories about the lives of the Avatars and the great teachers make us aware of their work; the narrations uplift us and allow us to identify with the Divine. Teachings or moral rules don’t have such an effect. 

But by studying the events of the lives of these great ones, we tune to their energy, and this awakens in us the awareness of the Divine.

However, there is no place for the craze to find out who and where a real Avatar is. 

Expectations block the connection and prevent the influx of the energy. The real Avatar is a continuous process in the creation and evolution. 

In the language of Master CVV, the Avatar is in everyone of us and he can be known through the “Higher Bridge beginning”. This higher bridge is what Master D.K. calls the Antahkarana.

In every astrological age, a great World Teacher or Avatar represents the highest ideal of perfection which humanity can reach during that age. Thus, in one of the Cancer ages Rama was the divine Avatar. 

In an age of Gemini it was Hermes, in the age of Taurus Krishna, in the age of Aries Moses and in the age of Pisces it was Jesus Christ.

🌻 Inner work with Sanat Kumara  🌻

Invoking his Presence and visualizing him during new moon days helps to align our personal desires with the divine Plan and to restructure our desire body. The desire is not killed, but realigned through the contact with the higher planes. 

Thus Sanat Kumara dissolves the undesired patterns of our personality. We can visualize that we are entering into Shamballa, that we are standing at the entrance of the Ashram, waiting for the grace of Sanat Kumara. 

The full moons of Taurus and Gemini are also particularly suited for this visualisation, for during Taurus full moon the Masters of Hierarchy align with Sanat Kumara and receive the seed thought for the year. 

At Gemini full moon the disciples who are aligned with the Masters receive it to get a new inspiration for their work. 

We also invoke Sanat Kumara and the centre of synthesis each time we speak the Great Invocation and say, “From the centre, where the Will of God is known, let purpose guide the little wills of men, the purpose which the Masters know and serve.”

When we speak of Sanat Kumara, we also speak of the heart centre, for the heart is the seat of pure love, of Buddhi. 

Sanat Kumara forms the Buddhic plane and helps us to construct the body of Buddhi in us. The Buddhic state is full of joy, and Sanat Kumara lives on the higher Buddhic plane in eternal bliss. 

Even though he usually lives in utter silence he has conveyed 24 commandments or Sutras on the path of discipleship to the emperor Pruthu in ancient times. 

He did it to help us organise our lives and to ascend to the plane of bliss. So Sanat Kumara wants to help us with his presence on the planet to reach the goal of our lives and to realise God.

Therefore one of his teachings says: “Attaining the Lord should become the rhythm of daily life - the ritual of life.” And he says, “Experience God in every action and interaction. Experience from moment to moment. Miss not even a moment.” 

However, he also takes away the pressure which might arise through our effort: “Do not get worried and do not strain to gather the virtues. 

Also do not strain to eliminate the vices. It is a path of difficulties. Instead link-up through observation of the Divine in the animate and inanimate forms.

And even though we may fail a thousand times, it is the only way to be followed. This way we learn to see the message of the Divine in all happenings.

🌻  Shamballa and Chintamani  🌻

His descent is considered to be a great sacrifice which he has done out of his love of God, without personal purpose. 

He is so pure and sublime that he cannot descend to the dense physical plane, but stays in the second ether which surrounds the earth. 

He lives at a place in the etheric plane which is in Mongolia, near the desert Gobi and which is called Shamballa. Shamballa is invisible for the normal eyes, but visible for people who have gained the etheric vision. 

From there he presides over the White Lodge of Masters and holds in his hands the reigns of the inner government. He watches over the evolution of men and Devas on this planet.

Sanat Kumara is the guardian spirit of Chintamani, the philosopher’s stone of heavenly origin. 

We can contemplate on Sanat Kumara and the energy of Shamballa by closing our eyes, relating to the Ajna centre and then thinking of the Gobi desert and of the ashram hidden within. Within the ashram there is Sanat Kumara, and within his forehead there is the beautiful gem of Chintamani. 

Sometimes it is given to Hierarchy, but generally it is within Shamballa. It corresponds to the jewel in the thousand petalled lotus of the head centre, “OM MANI PADME HUM”. 

Normally however, this jewel is dormant in man. It says that Ganga, the flow of etheric energies, lives in the house of Chintamani and descends from the cosmic state to Earth. 

Chintamani is the original state of pure existence on Earth, the radiant jewel of consciousness beyond our head. 

From there the diamantine consciousness enters into the head, and if we can realise it, we understand the Plan. Later the consciousness becomes more dense and mundane; the pure consciousness gets lost.

Shamballa is the centre of synthesis on the planet; the centre of unity is called the Hierarchy, with the great Masters and adepts. Humanity represents the diversity; it is slowly learning to grow towards unity, towards the soul. 

The thousand petalled lotus within us is the seat of synthesis. Its Sanskrit name is also the mantram of synthesis, Sahasrara.

We know the names from books; however, what is important is the practical work with this information, so that it becomes a reality for us. 

Otherwise we easily get into illusions about contacts with Sanat Kumara or other great beings. If we have contact we won’t speak of it. We can contact Sanat Kumara when we are living in the Sahasrara. 

It says that when we reach the first sub-plane of the seventh plane, we can touch the feet of the Lord. Otherwise we can only adore and invoke him.

🌻 The Planetary Logos 🌻

Sanat Kumara is considered as the highest being of this Earth and as the Ancient-Most; therefore he is also called the Lord of our planet. 

He is also called the “Silent Observer” and the “King of the World”. Sanat Kumara is the archetype, an image of the Heavenly Man on Earth. 

In the Bible he is called “The Ancient of Days”. The “Ancient One” is a direct reflection of the Planetary Logos of our Earth. This great being uses Sanat Kumara as the soul uses the personality: 

He incarnates in the form of Sanat Kumara. Thus Sanat Kumara is the coherent force who lives, breathes and functions through all the evolutions on this planet. 

He is holding all within His aura or magnetic sphere of influence, so that it constitutes one coherent, energized and functioning whole. In HIM we live and move and have our being, and none of us can pass beyond the radius of HIS aura.

Sanat Kumara has left the glory of the most high place for the sake of the evolving sons of men. 

It is an act of compassion for the human beings who don’t know how to live, hot to realize themselves and how to ascend to the divine circles. Sanat Kumara and his team of collaborators show the way. He is regarded as the highest Teacher who keeps the door to the higher worlds open. 

These beings stand at the door, but they have refused to walk through, to also help the other beings to reach this point. Thus Sanat Kumara is the One Initiator, the Hierophant of our Rites.

🌻 The Accomplished Beings  🌻

The Puranic wisdom teachings explain that in primeval times our planet was a half globe and had only one pole. 

It was an etheric formation with the North Pole oriented to the Sun as its centre. The South Pole was not yet formed, nor the dense physical form. 

Later the Earth solidified. The shape of a ‘dish-form’ became a globe; the South Pole was formed, and the then existing North Pole was rotated 90 degrees. 

The area of the world which formed the North Pole at that time and was directed to the Sun is now the Himalayas. The present North Pole now points to the polar star.

The humanity of the first two races still lived “in paradise”; their forms were made by ether. They didn’t yet have a mind, but existed in the subtle spheres in a dream-like state. There were only 10 signs of the zodiac. 

The part from Virgo to Scorpio made just one sign. Libra, symbol of the dense physical manifestation, didn’t yet exist. 

With the third race the humanity began to incarnate into physical bodies, and Libra appeared. In the middle of the third race the sexes got separated.

At that time a group of sublime beings of will and of fire called Siddhas came from Venus to Earth to help her and her beings with their evolution. 

They were led by Sanat Kumara who descended via Venus. Venus is said to be the elder sister of Earth. She is the etheric, higher counterpart of our planet. 

Later some of these beings left Earth again and returned to Venus. However, some remained here, among them Sanat Kumara. 

Today there are only 24 Siddhas on the planet. Siddhas means the Accomplished Ones; they are beings with perfect etheric bodies.

Indeed from time to time intelligences from Venus come to our planet to give the needed inspiration. 

Master EK used to wake up people sometimes during the midnight hours and ask them to join him in meditation. The meditation used to be of 2 to 3 hours duration, in utter silence. 

The next day morning when inquired, he told his co-workers: “Certain great beings are descending on to the planet via the moon-rays. They are Venusian beings. They are coming to assist the Divine Plan and help lift up this humanity. 

The Hierarchy is receiving them with utmost veneration. I chose to wake you up for I do not want you to sleep during such sublime times”.

🌻  The Five Kumaras  🌻

The Kumaras are the leaders of the spiritual Hierarchy on all planes of creation, they are even beyond it. Therefore, they are the most high and most ancient ones in the Hierarchy. 

The names received for them are Sanaka, Sanandana, Sanat Kumara and Sanat Sujata.

The first Kumara, Sanaka, forms the passage from the supra-cosmic to the cosmic plane. 

In his transcendent aspect, he is also called Sanatana, the pure existence or the eternal Light; in his this-worldly aspect, he is the Kumara of the cosmic plane. 

His seat in us is in the Sahasrara centre; he corresponds to the state without awareness in which we are during sleep.

The second Kumara, Sanandana, corresponds to the solar plane and the pure awareness, Atma. His seat in us is in the Ajna centre. His name means deep bliss.

The Kumara best known to us is Sanat Kumara. He is the Lord or Logos of our planet and corresponds to the Buddhic plane of ideation and of the mind in the heart centre filled with love. 

He is considered the Teacher of the teachers and the Ruler of all rulers of the planet.

The fourth Kumara is Sanat Sujata; he corresponds to the higher mind, Chitta. 

He is the lower counterpart of Sanat Kumara; in us he rules over the solar plexus and the lower part of the body, and he is active for humanity.

Normally the four Kumaras are totally silent, only the third and the fourth one have taught people at special times. Sanat Kumara gave the teachings relating to the path of discipleship to the emperor Pruthu. 

5000 years ago, Sanat Sujata collaborated in the preparation of the coming of Krishna and imparted the secrets of death and immortality to the Blind King. 

He said, “Death is only a gap in consciousness.” At that time Sanat Kumara was born as the son of Krishna, as Pradhyumna.

According to another system, Sanat Kumara is the fourth of the Kumaras and rules over the plane of action, whereas the third one governs the mind. 

The fifth Kumara, Narada, is the highest teacher and the messenger moving with ease through all seven planes of creation. 

He is the intelligence who enables us to compare things, and therefore he is also called the bringer of conflict. 

His blessing confers upon us the fiery will of wanting to know. The protection and the fire of the Kumaras lead us safely upwards and nothing happens haphazardly.

🌻 The Light of the Presence 🌻

The Kumaras are on the planet to help us. 

However, they don’t interfere with our lives and also don’t tell us what we should or should not do. 

There is an eternal law according to which a development cannot happen through outer support as long as there is no impulse coming from inside. 

The Kumaras continuously give us the Light of their presence which we experience as the Light of our soul. 

The Light itself doesn’t interfere, but it helps us to see things more clearly. Their presence is magnetising and makes things fall into a higher order. 

This way the Kumaras help us to organise our thought patterns, to manage our life better and to align ourselves more to the Light so that its influence can increase.

The Light of the Kumaras is especially available during the time of the dawn, when darkness transforms into light. 

Once a month, they visit us in a greater measure, during the 24 hours immediately after the new moon point. 

Then there is also the annual visit during the dawn of the year in the month of Capricorn which is also called the month of the Kumaras. 

If we use the dawn to align to the soul, the Solar Angel in us, we can absorb much of the Light of the Kumaras.

🌻 The Cosmic Rebels 🌻

Since ancient times the sages have advised their students to know themselves and to ask, “Who am I?” Self-observation is possible for us because we are self-conscious beings. 

We know that we exist and we can reflect on our life. The self-consciousness differentiates us from the animal. Animals are in a dreamlike state. 

Some animal species that live in closer contact with humans can also develop mind. In minerals, plants and the majority of the animals, however, the mind, called Manas in Sanskrit, has not yet awakened. 

Through the awakening of Manas, man has grown from being guided by instinct to an individual. He slowly develops from an individual to a personality and from there to soul consciousness.

The unfoldment of the core of his being happens through the presence of high beings who have given to man the fire of mind. 

Since eons they are sending their light rays so that the blossom of human awareness unfolds. This blossom is also called the egoic lotus, the lotus of our soul.

There are different legends and allegorical narrations which explain the awakening of the mind. 

The story of the Fallen Angels contains in its esoteric meaning the key to the secrets of human consciousness in the same way as the eastern allegories of the Kumaras or Agnishvattas, the Solar Angels. 

It depends on our subtle understanding how far the teachings disclose themselves to us. 

Thus, the Greek legend of Prometheus, who brought man the fire from the gods, resembles the story of the awakening of self-consciousness through the Kumaras which we want to study here.

There are four Kumaras who were born out of the Creator at the beginning of creation. 

A fifth Kumara, Narada, later joined them as the teacher of the beings. The Kumaras are called the Sons of Mind, of the creative mind principle. They had been perfect beings already in the previous creation. 

The Kumaras came at the beginning of this creation, not to learn something more, but to help, especially the human beings. 

They are pure beings who are symbolically represented as five-year-old boys or as eternal youths of 16 years. 

The Puranas describe that Brahma, the Creator, asked them to co-create with him. 

But they refused, for they knew that they had another task. Brahma got angry and cursed them to descend to earth. Because of their disobedience they are also called the cosmic rebels.

Their disobedience had a purpose which Brahma did not know. They said, “The forms into which we are to move are not yet suited for us.” 

They refused to let their fire flow downwards and to stimulate beings for procreation. 

Therefore, they are also called Agnishvattas, those who have put off the procreative fire. Their flames are always directed upwards, to the origin. 

Thus, they are also described as innocent youths because impressions do not stick to their virginal pure mind. 

Though they were perfect beings of the most sublime worlds, they didn’t refuse to descend into the dense matter because this is precisely what they wanted.

🌻. Withdrawal to the Inside 🌻

After the work for creation was done, the Creator instructed them to withdraw to the inside and to do penance (Tapas) until they are called again. 

That is why you see on many pictures how Shiva, the highest Yogi in creation, is turned inwards to the heart centre. 

It says that Rudra in the form of Lord Shiva resides in the subtle planes on the Mount Kailash as the centre of his retreat.

In our life, there is also a time where we should withdraw from the cycle of life and increasingly turn to the spirit. A good time for this is from the 60th year on, the 72nd or the 84th.

The Creator told the Rudras to contemplate upon the Lord of synthesis, the 2nd Logos of Love, without doing any further work in creation. 

Love is the antidote to power. The power of Mars can be stopped by the love of Venus; there are many stories about it. 

One of the consorts of the 11 Rudras is also called the lady of consecrational love. The wives of the Rudras represent their powers and qualities.

It says that Master CVV worked out an agreement with the principle of Rudra, whereby the aspiration for achievement is shifting to the sense of beness and the experience of inner peace. 

Outer expansion and aggressive behaviour transform to a sense of inner experience, which is an aspect of Rudra. 

Thus, the people are lead from the will to power to the will to love and wisdom, which bestows peace and contentment.

🌻. The Protection of Rudra 🌻

The symbol of Rudra is the double pyramid, a square with one pyramid pointing upwards and another pointing downwards. 

The 11 aspects of Rudra are the four directions and the diagonals connected with the directions upwards and downwards. 

There are 10 directions with the centre as the 11th one; the point in the middle represents the soul. The double pyramid is an effective protective shield. 

When we connect to the angles from the centre, vibrations are made active through all the channels and we remain in an electro-magnetic field with highest vibration. 

The Shiva Lingam is the double pyramid with the angles rounded up; it stands for transformation and is an occult symbol of the 11 Rudras as the synthesis of the whole creation. 

In India, the seers conceived 12 most auspicious lingams, the Jyothir Lingams, at the 12 energy points of the country, where Lord Rudra can be experienced as an effulgent egg form of light.

In the meditation of the Diamantine Network, we construct the form of a double pyramid as a diamond, joining together with other meditators in the form of a national, continental, and global diamond. 

By singing the Vedic mantram of Rudra, the diamond is filled with the energies of the Lord of vibration. As a global temple, it is offered to the Hierarchy to enable them to manifest social justice as deemed fit. We don’t judge and decide what social justice is, nor the success of the work. 

The Rudras are of tremendous help in destroying the impediments to the path of Light. The fire ritual and the water ritual, the Rudra Abhishekam, aim at the manifestation of the electrical power from the invisible to the visible planes. 

The Rudra ritual is also very good for healing purposes, but if you would like to do it, you need to be committed to do it regularly, without compromises.

At the supra-cosmic plane Rudra appears as Agni, at the cosmic plane as Rudra, at the solar plane as Vayu (cosmic breath), and at the planetary plane as Surya, the Sun. Thus he represents the three fires: electrical fire, solar fire and frictional fire. 

These aspects of Rudra are described in the book “A Treatise on Cosmic Fire” by Alice A. Bailey. The commentary on Fire given in the book is based on the hymn to Rudra from the Sweta Upanishad (II, 17): 

“To the God who is in the fire and who is in the waters; to the God who has suffused himself through all the world; to the God who is in the summer plants and in the Lords of the forest; to that God be adoration, adoration.” 

This mantram (Yo Rudro…) purifies the five elements of the body and the five elements of the atmosphere, and enables purity and clarity for the soul. 

The other chief mantram related to Rudra is “Trayambakam…”; this is a very powerful mantram which gives us the Will to change our life for the better.

However, the Will has to be withdrawn again when the work is done. If you let the fire on after the dish is cooked it burns the food. 

Great emperors also had to be stopped, so that they didn’t destroy what had been created. The work of the Rudras for creation has been done, until the time of dissolution. 

During manifestation the Rudras only work when they are needed to remove obstacles for the work of Light. The Rudras are called when there are problems with diabolic energies.

🌻. The Birth of Rudra 🌻

In the Bhagavata Purana, there is a story of Brahma, the Creator. When he started to create, first the four Kumaras, the eternal youth, came out. 

When he ordered them to create, to his surprise they refused to do so, because they knew that they had another task to do. 

Brahma got angry and started to roar. From out of his brow centre, Rudra came out with red and blue light, the first and second cosmic ray. 

That means, from out of the darkness of the background, the first manifestation comes out as vibration.

The colour of Rudra is brilliant red. The Will of Rudra can be invoked by contemplating the red colour. 

However, only advanced students can work with red to construct and to destroy. Others are advised to work with orange, a variation of red, to dissolve blockages. 

Tender persons like children are advised to contemplate upon the rose colour. Even the day starts with red at the eastern horizon and concludes with red at the western horizon. 

The copper colour of the sky in the morning and the evening hours is also worshipped as the two eyes of Rudra.

🌻. Vibration in the Ether 🌻

In the scheme of Vedic wisdom and the related Puranas, Rudra is the Lord of Will and of Fire, who opens the way for creation at various levels. 

He is also the Lord that clears the impediments to creation and helps the beings on the path of return. Thus, for entry into and exit from the world, Rudra is the chief helper, guide, teacher, and yogi.

As the Lord of vibration, Rudra is the first and foremost of the Vedic Devas. Devas are of many groups, mainly three: Adityas (the Lords of radiation), Rudras (the Lords of vibration), and Vasus (the Lords of materialisation). 

There are mainly 11 Rudras, whose work galvanizes matter into activity and thus brings about the different states of matter. Everything in the universe is a pattern in space made up of the matrix of space which manifests as Rudras.

Rudra means the Lord of Ethers or “those who roar” (Rodasi, Antariksha). The Rudras are visible, vibrating lights for those who have in-sight (Anta-Riksham), the seers. 

These seers describe the Devas of Antariksha (the invisible space) as vibrations in the ether, which are like a roar from out of silence. 

The Rudras roar through the ethers transmitting electro-magnetic waves; through this work they manifest the visible and invisible worlds from out of the Light beyond darkness. The transmission of the vibrations is through sound and light.

The roar of the Rudras is sound; it goes from inaudibility to audibility, from the sound of silence to the voice of speech. It is the inaudible sound of OM which transforms in the throat to audible sound and to speech.

Rudras are needed for externalisation. They externalise the Light beyond darkness, that means, they make it manifest. Their sound unsettles the Light, just as we become unsettled and wince when there is a sudden noise. 

The invisible Light is called Aditi, the Mother of the World. The different qualities of light emerge from her as Adityas or Devas of radiation. 

By disturbing and unsettling the original Light, the Rudras cause vibrations by which the atoms and forms are created on all the seven planes.

Rudra is the First Logos, who in one of his 11 aspects is called Shiva or Cosmic Will. He represents the Will aspect of the soul and helps us to strengthen our will with his fire, which is Good Will. 

The energy of Rudra is very important to strengthen the will so that we can do something good. The importance of the Rudras cannot be over-emphasised.

🌻. Brahma and Saraswathi 🌻

Other beings came forth through Brahma and manifested in the universe - Rudra, the vibrations in space; the Prajapatis, the progenitors of the beings of creation, Lords of power, form and matter; Saraswathi, the divine Word born out of Brahma… 

The Word emerges from the subjectivity of the speaker and travels through sound in space, from the speaker to the listener. When Brahma saw the beauty of Saraswathi, he forgot his duty and run after her. 

It says that the Prajapatis laughed at him when they saw his desire. Marichi, the mind of Brahma, told him that it is not good to have desire for her. 

Brahma realised his mistake and felt shame. He realised that he should use Saraswathi for the welfare of creation, but not for his own selfish desire for her.

This allegory of Brahma creating Saraswathi from within himself and following her to impregnate explains the mystery of how the creation emerges into objectivity, similar to the biblical story of the creation of Eva out of Adam. 

This mystery also points out the power of the Word. We lose ourselves when running after the thoughts and they pour out from us as words and actions. 

We can easily fall if we don’t use the speech correctly, and thus hurt ourselves and others. Let not our thoughts be guiding us; but that we guide always our thoughts. 

We are the master and should direct the thoughts in accordance with our duties. However, it is not a crime to commit mistakes. 

Even the creator made mistakes. What is important is to realise the mistakes, to correct them and to learn the lesson.

🌻. The Third Logos 🌻

The creative principle, Brahma, is also called the 3rd Logos, Intelligent Activity or Fire by Friction, besides the 1st Logos of Divine Will and the 2nd Logos of Love-Wisdom. 

Brahma is not so much worshipped as the two other Logo or the Divine Mother. In India there are only very few temples for him. 

This is because the work of the 3rd Logos is nearly completed; we now try to express Love and Wisdom, and then the Will of God. 

In his books Master DK says that during the first systemic existence the physical form was created. 

We now are in the second systemic existence, of Love and Wisdom, and in the next systemic existence there will be only the 1st Logos of Will. 

The work of Brahma is like building a house. Once it is built the inhabitants move into it and the construction activities are widely finished.

The Puranas belong to the oldest scriptures; they describe how at the beginning of creation the cosmic intelligences and beings came out into the creation through Brahma. 

In this he is just a medium of the Lord. Each time he considered himself to be the creator and forgot the absolute Lord, failures arose. 

As Brahma, when seated in the lotus, contemplated upon “Who am I?”, he didn’t get an answer. 

When the question came, “What am I to do?”, he received the answer from the background that he should turn inward. And he understood that he is none other than THAT. 

When again the question came “What am I to do?” the answer from inside said: “Create”. The creation happened through him as long as he was in the presence of THAT.

First the 4 Kumaras came out of him. They are described as the eternal youth and are also called Manasa Putras, Sons of the Cosmic Mind. They were born from Brahma without him wanting it.

The same happens with us as well. When we are linked with the Divine, thoughts emerge from us which are in accordance with it. Even if we have the feeling that we are thinking, the thoughts come from higher circles. 

When the creator advised the Kumaras to cooperate with him for creation they just smiled and remained silent. Their purpose was different from what the creator thought. 

They knew their task, and so they refused to create. Brahma got angry and cursed them to be buried in the matter of the whole creation. 

This allegory explains the birth of mind and the birth of the Masters in all planes as well as their work for the benefit of the beings. They are not personalities, but principles working in the cosmos and in us.

🌻  The Lotus-Born Creator 🌻

Brahma is born in a lotus which sprouts from the navel of the cosmic person. 

The lotus is the ever unfolding principle of space as its content. The ancient scientists called it “Space Mind” or in Sanskrit “Mahat”; our mind being a part of it.

Brahma questions himself, “Where am I and wherefrom this lotus sprouts?” Then he makes a journey down the barrel to know the depth of the ocean upon which he is floating. Then he ponders as to how to create this unit creation. 

From the yonder skies of the cosmic existence he receives the feeling that he is not an entity separated from the rest; that he is a part of the whole and he is a world within a world and a creator within the creator. Thus, he comes to understand that he is not the creator but a creator.

The subtle stalk of the lotus is also called Brahma Danda, the rod of the creator. We hold it inside our vertebral column as the Sushumna, from which the centres or chakras emerge. 

To hold an outer rod, as do kings or bishops, is symbolic for this vertical life of the serpent fire.

The masculine form of “Brahma”, the four-faced creator, is different from the absolute One who is also named with the neutral form “Brahman” or Narayana, Para-Brahman and “the background”. 

The creation began with an impulse which emerged from the absolute One who is the basis for all in creation. 

With the emergence of this impulse, time and nature are formed. This impulse is described as an egg which emerges from Brahman and is therefore also called Brahmananda, the Cosmic Egg.

The symbolism of the egg and the circle form one of the major keys of the ancient wisdom. 

“The Lord made the egg out of the waters and made the seed of creation out of the water in the egg. As a seed he entered as his own presence, I AM”, says the Bhagavatam.

The self-effulgent golden egg of Brahma’s manifestation is also the “golden navel”. 

Since he comes out of the background along with the egg, the four-faced Brahma is also regarded as the Lord himself in the capacity of his son. 

The Rig Veda describes the parent personality of the background a s eternal while the child personality is periodical in his emerging and merging. 

The period between an emerging and merging is called one span of creation which is called a Day of Brahma in the Puranas. It is divided into fourteen equal parts called Manavantaras. 

Each Manvantara is presided over by a great consciousness which is called a Manu. There are 14 Manus which belong to the children born out of the mind of Brahma. 

A Manu is the prototype of each human race in creation. The present humanity belongs to the 7th Manu called Vaivasvata Manu.

🌻. The Child in the Mother’s Womb 🌻 

The soul is a traveller through the spiral paths of evolution and enters the mother’s womb at a particular stage at the time of fertilisation. 

There the creator-consciousness finds itself induced by the pair of creators (father and mother) to create its own frame in the fashion of the parents. 

The space and place of this occurrence present a globe of space which gives the stimulation to the child in the mother’s womb.

What the mother’s physical body is to the child, the space globe is to the soul: to serve as a model according to which the child is to be developed. 

The head centre is the highest point and the first to form at the time of fertilisation; it corresponds with the first house of the horoscope. 

The vertebral column is created second in the foetus; it contains the essence of our self. 

Master EK says that the hollow barrel in the vertebral column is the narrow passage in which space exists as Man.

The navel manifests as a lower space centre. It corresponds with the 7th house and the descendent. The two points work as two poles to distribute the tissue-matter that forms the physical body. 

The head centre works as the positive pole and the solar plexus as the negative pole, as the centre of expression into objectivity. 

The navel unites the mother and the child. It symbolises the link between nature as the mother and the Lord as the child with the unfolding consciousness.

During the formation of the spinal tube, the creator-consciousness is thrown down and makes a sojourn through this channel to investigate the downward path. 

The third book of Bhagavatam describes this as the journey of Brahma, the creator, into the barrel of the lotus stalk upon which he is seated. 

Brahma is the four-faced manifestation of the Lord and presides over the creation of the universes. 

The four faces represent the four stages of creation which we know as existence, awareness of existence, thinking and action and which we also encounter in the four kingdoms of nature: mineral, plant, animal and man.

🌻. The Language of Symbols of the Puranas  🌻

When we try to read directly the Eastern Scriptures it is difficult for us to recognise the symbols contained in them. 

The Vishnu Purana, for example, explains the concept of the second ray of Love-Wisdom, but it seems to be just full of fairy tales and stories. 

The more we study the symbols which are dispersed in the books of Bailey and Blavatsky and learn to apply them, the more we become capable to understand the Scriptures.

Thus the Puranas describe a great coiled serpent on the surface of the Milky Ocean with Lord Vishnu in blue colour resting on it. In his heart there is Lakshmi, the divine Mother, sitting on a big lotus. On the tip of his finger he carries a rotating wheel. 

From out of the navel of the four-armed Lord, the four-faced creator is born. This is one of the oldest symbols that man received and used to transmit the spiritual wisdom:

On the background of the great Ocean of Eternity there is the emergence of the waves of creation eternally. 

The coiled serpent Ananta (endlessness) floats on it and unwinds its coils as the continuous chain action of change, or becoming. The serpent can also be regarded as the power of Kundalini.

Vishnu is always connected with Sri or Lakshmi, the Mother of creation; like the word with its meaning, like the creator and his creation. 

They are the eternal bride and bridegroom of creation, never separated from each other. 

When Vishnu comes down to the human plane as an Avatar, she assumes a human form, like Sita with Rama or Rukmini with Krishna.

The rotating wheel of Light at the tip of the index finger of Vishnu symbolises the Law which manifests in creation. 

It is also called Sudarshana, the good vision, since the circle is the figure of perfection among all the geometrical patterns. The circle has its beginning and ending not in itself but in the centre. 

Whenever there is the emergence of the centre in form of the “I AM” consciousness, there is automatically the formation of circumference as the horizon around the centre. 

Astrologically the circle with the point represents the sun; he is the Lord of the individuality and the spirit in the three levels of the awakening consciousness. 

The human awakening represents the highest point of illumination of the inner deity and is therefore represented by the noon position of the Sun which is called the tenth house by astrologers. 

The four points of the cross - Ascendant (AC) and Descendant (DC), Medium Coeli (MC) and Imum Coeli (IC) - can be regarded as the four arms of Vishnu. The centre of the circle from where the four points emerge is called the navel of the Lord. 

From the navel of the four-armed Lord the four-faced creator is born. The creator is represented by the square within the circle, formed by joining the four points of the cross. 

The four equal arcs of the circle are called the four main petals of the ever-expanding lotus, out of which the creator emerges with his four faces.

This figure forms the basis for the Puranic symbolism.

Vishnu, the preserver of creation, is said to take the form of different Avatars, or descents into the world to restore the balance in creation when it is menaced by demonic forces. 

“Whenever the Law is significantly disturbed and the existence of the world is threatened, I come down to re-establish the Law”, says Lord Krishna.

This is an expression of Love towards creation; Love is the unifying force, and this Love keeps the creation together. 

When Narada, the divine seer, once went to Vishnu, the latter said to him, “Don’t come each time to me to do me a pleasure. 

I am more in the hearts of the simple people. Serve them; take care of what they need, lift them up. This is the act of Love by which you meet me, and this in the heart of each being.”

🌻. The Cosmic Person within us  🌻

The whole process of manifestation is a grand ritual in which we participate and which we can also realise within ourselves. 

The contemplation upon the all-pervading Cosmic Person leads to the realisation that each one of us is a miniature form of Him; He reveals to us according to our growth of awareness. 

The Masters want to see each of us uplifted to experience the presence of the Cosmic Person within us as our original state of existence. 

He has come forth as our own selves. “God created man in His image and likeness”, says the Bible. He is the original, we are a duplicate. 

However, the duplicate behaves as if it were the original. We believe that God is like us. But the truth is, we are like God. HE existed first.

Since most ancient times there is a meditation on the Cosmic Person in man. For this we can meditate on the electric blue light because blue is the colour of the second ray, the colour of Vishnu. 

His incarnations, like Rama and Krishna, are also meditated in blue colour. The Vedic seers describe blue as the ray of the all-penetrating space from which the seven rays emerge. 

To the human eye the seven rays exist in the white light, but to the spiritual eye they emerge from the blue of Akasha. 

Therefore it is a figurative statement of great importance that the Avatars of Vishnu are blue in colour. In healing, blue can also be used for all purposes.

Another meditation is to visualise the Cosmic Person as a four-armed figure fixed in the cosmos as well as in us on a four-armed cross. 

His existence in our being is called the crucifixion of the Cosmic Person in flesh and blood. Through this sacrifice the formless and nameless God has concretised in us. 

The symbolic representation of the Cosmic Person on the four-armed cross refers to the fourfold nature of the universal wisdom.

We can also see the four-armed cross in the daily life as dawn, noon, dusk and midnight; and in the lunar cycle as new Moon and full Moon as well as the two eighth Moon phases; and in the solar year as the solstices and equinoxes. 

In the bigger cycles of time these are the four Yugas or ages. The fourfold structure of existence is worshipped in the Purusha Sukta of the Vedas. 

It was the dearest of the suktas of Master EK and it is sung regularly by students in the ashrams of the Masters, thereby establishing the Cosmic Person in themselves.

🌻. The All-Pervading Principle  🌻

People call the eternal One with different names. 

For want of terms the Absolute is called “the God beyond creation” who functions as God in creation. In the Indian mythology the all-permeating God in creation is called Vishnu. 

In the West he is called the Cosmic Christ or Adam Kadmon, Amadeus or also the Second Logos, the One who pervades and fills all the 7 planes. 

Whatever is the term it refers to the same, although the followers of different creeds think they are different and that their own concept of God is the right one. 

No matter which names and forms of worship are used, we should have no objections. It is important to understand the basic idea instead of getting confused by names.

The Vedic seers worshipped all forms, colours etc. as a manifestation of the one Lord. 

For them Vishnu is the light of awareness which fulfils all. It is like the electric current; we cannot see it, but when we operate the light switch, it is immediately apparent within the lamp. 

We realise its presence through the illumined lamp; the light is its manifestation. 

Thus in olden times people worshipped the presence of the Lord as the Light beyond the Sun, as the all-pervading principle.

The sages visualised the creation sprouting from the subtlest to the grossest in layers. 

They divided the three-fold existence into matter, force and consciousness and symbolically called the planes “Vishnu”, “Vasudeva” and “Narayana”. Here Vishnu is all that appears in shape, colour, number etc. 

All that exists as the centre, or as the indweller of a consciousness unit from atom to man, is Vasudeva, and the universal consciousness, which is the one background of the units of consciousness, is Narayana.

With this division Vishnu is the Lord who pervades the name, form and the other objects of the senses and mind with his presence.

Vasudeva is the Lord who lives in everyone and presides over our behaviour. He helps us release the baser emotions of the astral plane, such as lust and anger, that are ever stimulated as we experience the behaviour of others.

In Narayana the devotee finds the ultimate liberation of his individual consciousness. 

This third step places the purified consciousness of the soul in its proper abode, the oversoul, the Spirit in all. The Yogis merge in it, nothing else enters their mind. 

They remain in this pervading consciousness, which again, is called Vishnu. Therefore, the Indians say, “All is Vishnu”, and the Bhagavatam says we should visualise and worship him in all. 

After having found the Cosmic Christ in himself and experienced him as working through himself, Jesus said, “For in him we live, move, and have our being”.

🌻. Agastya and Shiva  🌻

The cosmic energy called Shiva very rarely uses this centre in man. The downpour is like a shower full of energy. 

We can visualise how Lord Shiva closes his eyes and receives an immeasurable energy which descends vertically into his head and disperses. This is symbolically represented as the downpour of the energies of Ganga, the manifestation of the Ganges. 

In this way Master CVV assimilated the downpour of the energy of synthesis on 31 March 1910 when it descended from higher circles to the earth. He had been awaiting this energy descending like a flash and was ready to absorb it and to anchor it on earth. 

Only Lord Shiva could withstand the energy of Ganga and receive it; it was the same with the Aquarian energy. Therefore, Master CVV and Lord Shiva belong together. In the Puranas it says that Shiva as a God and Agastya as a seer are available in all emergencies. 

Whenever there was a big crisis, which others could not succour, Agastya Maharshi (Master Jupiter, the Eldest of the Masters) was invited to manage the crisis. 

He worked through Master CVV, and this energy enters into us through a new path which he called MTA (Matter-Time-Atom). It is a new path; the old path is a bit curvaceous according to him. 

That is why the Master restructures the Sushumna (energy channel in the middle of the vertebral column) by means of the prayer given by him and thus enables us to receive the energies, so that the work is accomplished faster. He condenses the etheric form in us, so that it remains intact. He did superhuman wonders. 

So he simply took mercury (the liquid related to Mercury) held it in his hands and gave it back again as a Shiva Lingam. Such a condensation of mercury is the great process of an alchemist.

The Lingam is a basic symbol of creation, the potential of everything that IS. 

The cosmic egg contains all conceivable creational intelligences and for this reason it is worshipped. The spheroid form of the Shiva lingam is regarded as a double pyramid with rounded corners. 

An age-old and very effective practice for protection is to build this double pyramid around oneself. We can also build this double pyramid around our group or together for the planet. 

This double pyramid is being consciously constructed in us by invoking the angels of all directions and then visualising the pyramid. This is a light-work to ensure the protection of Good Will.
