The 8th May is celebrated as “White Lotus Day”, in remembrance of Helena P. Blavatsky (1831-1891), who passed over on this day in the year 1891.
In her life, Madam Blavatsky demonstrated the qualities she expressed in “The Golden Stairs”: “A clean life, an open mind, a pure heart, …” (See the book “Golden Stairs” by Sri Kumar)
She was a very pure soul who was prepared by the Hierarchy already at the time of Lord Krishna, as Master EK shows in his book “Music of the Soul.” You find her in the character of Ruta.
In the 19th century, the Masters chose her for bringing out to humanity the new revelation of the teachings of eternal wisdom. Therefore, she is regarded as the White Lotus that unfolds afresh the beauty and fragrance of new age wisdom.
At the White Lotus Day 2021, Sri Kumar paid homage to HPB, as Blavatsky is also lovingly called, with the following words:
“Today happens to be 8th May, the departure day of Madame Blavatsky recognised by the teachers who led her as the White Lotus Day. Today, in the Brotherhood, White Lotus Day is celebrated in memory of Madame Blavatsky who offered herself to the humanity. Her offering was total. The soul, the personality and the body were dedicated to the work of The Great White Brotherhood. More than the humanity, it is the White Brotherhood that lovingly and affectionately honor her for she has unveiled to humanity the Universal Wisdom so that people come out of their very narrow understanding of the energy which is called God and walk into that light which is Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnipresent.
Since we are all in form, we look to Divinity through form but the Divinity as such is beyond form, beyond name and even beyond time. The Veda contains this wisdom. The ancient theologies contain this wisdom. They try to give out the patterns in which this energy manifests through various laws of the universe such as the Law of Alternation, the Law of Pulsation, the Law of Involution, the Law of Evolution, the Law of Septenary Manifestation and its gradual withdrawal into itself through cycles of time, the related science of utterance, the related science of contemplation and the related science of action in creation to experience, to evolve and then gain fulfilment.
The work of Madam Blavatsky is seen as a stupendous work carried out in the last part of the 19th century which has vibrated the planet. Thousands and thousands of groups have joined till date and it continues to be. All that she contributed to humanity is recognised more by the Brotherhood than the humanity. It will take a long time for humanity to understand the great work that came through Madame Blavatsky.
We fondly remember her. She is the first one in the recent cycles of time that has unveiled the wisdom which is universal. It is not sectarian. It is not based upon limited thoughts about God. In His memory we…we say, ‘His’ because even the Masters recognize her though in a female body, as a grand male that did a lot of work from the soul dimension.”
May HPB’s life and work inspire us to continue striving “to the Ideal of Human Progression and Perfection which the Secret Science Depicts” and to climb the Golden Stairs up to the Temple of Divine Wisdom.
Have a good White Lotus Day
