This year we celebrate the 52nd anniversary of the foundation of the World Teacher Trust on Saturday, 18 November 1971. As per Indian counting, it is the 53th anniversary since the seed of the Trust started sprouting.
However, there was a pregnancy of 18 years before the birth of the WTT. In 1953, a close associate of the World Teacher approached Master EK and came into his room through the wall (see the story in the book “Master EK – The New Age Teacher” PDF).
Master EK was very astonished and asked: “What for are you gracing and blessing me so much Sir?”
The Grand Master said: “You are chosen for a work.” He warned him that it will be a thorny path – and “If only you wish, you can get in”.
Master E.K. said: “I am ready”. The Grand Master replied: “Don’t be in a hurry.” He came back in a week and asked him again. Master E.K. replied: “I am ready as I was a week ago”.
Thus, the work with the team of the World Teacher started. Master EK was intensely trained and slowly started teaching, where demanded.
Later, there were people asking him to form an organisation for the furtherance of the teachings. And Master EK responded to this demand by proposing to found the World Teacher Trust – an organisation for those who trust in the World Teacher.
It was founded on 18 November 1971. It was founded in the month of Scorpio, spiritually the darkest time of the year, but the moment to prepare the ascent.
On 17 November 1875, there was the foundation of the Theosophical Society.
And the period of WTT starts nearly a century later, to continue the work to a higher turn of the spiral.
So, the birthdays of both organisations show the relation to hidden, occult work with the energies of Scorpio.
For the birth of the WTT, a young public accountant came into play to constitute the World Teacher Trust and frame the by-laws relating to it – Master KPK. A month before, Sri Parvathi Kumar had come into contact with Master E.K. Thus, Master KPK’s association with the WTT was “born” together with the WTT. And he stayed linked with the Trust, since 1984, after the passing of Master EK, as its President, until his passing in November 2022.
Master KPK always said, “Don’t give too much importance to the outer organisation.” Focus on building the inner organisation, the inner temple in the human heart. The WTT grows through the people who associate with the teachings through inner practice and self-transformation. And then, it gets expressed to the outer through service to the surrounding life.
This way, the trust in the World Teacher grew and developed globally.
The symbol of the World Teacher Trust is the Winged Globe with the motto: “The Globe Rotates”. Occult Meditations 65 and 50 give the keys to this motto:
“The wheel rotates. The serpent creeps on.” “Rotation is time, revolution is period. Time is in rotation. matter is in periodicity.”
With the foundation of the WTT, a new period started, a period of larger externalisation of the Wisdom Teachings. The work and the organisation is for the upliftment of humanity and the beings on the planet – to lift up the earth to the Kings of Beauty.
Thus, the Winged Globe symbolises the work of the Avatar of Synthesis through this organisation as a physical body for the externalisation.
In the centre of the symbol, it says “Vaisakha Valley” – the seat of the World Teacher and his team in the Himalayas. And Visakhapatnam – the seeding place and the seat of the organisation, in the city of Vaisakha.
The Globe Rotates and the manifestation of the organisation of WTT expands on the physical plane as per the greater Plan and the demand of the seekers who might join the work and take over responsibilities. Like the Masters EK and KPK have done. As Master MM said, “Through human hands” the work grows.
May we join our hands in this sublime work and continue working for its growth to lift up the Earth to become a better place for all.
