Back from Rajahmundry and Bhadrachalam, the lectures with videos of Master KPK and with Guru Prasad continued.
Thursday, 8 January, the group visited the Balabhanu Vidyalayam school of WTT in an urban area of Visakhapatnam. It imparts spiritual, moral, and social values besides the normal education to transforms the children into responsible youth, with a sense of direction and constructive contribution to society. It is always inspiring to see the great work which had been started by Master EK in 1977.
Afterwards, the group went to Master EK Samskruthi Sadan, a service Center for training women in tailoring and other activities to empower them for various kinds of professional activity. During the visit, tailoring machines and certificates were distributed to the women and the accomplishments honored.
9 January was the last lecture of the seminar and, like every year – part of the annual ritual – the group went to the Simhachalam temple outside Vishakhapatnam. Guru Prasad and a priest from the temple explained to us the Varaha Lakshmi Narasimha temple.
In the evening, there was the valedictory celebration in RadhaMadhavam, thanking the Indian brothers for the great organisation and work done for this beautiful group living.
On 10 January afternoon there was the beginning of the 3.5 days Master CVV Guru Puja, this year being dedicated to the Master EK Centenary Celebrations. It is always a time of intense diving into the energies of the huge group while not understanding much – although Guru Prasad partly translated, we were absorbed into the sounds of Telugu language, and the mind has not much to understand. However, some followed a little the talks with Google translator – it worked fairly well with some mobiles, not mine. Must have been a blessing to remain more in the subtler planes of sound immersion. However, there were also many exchanges with group members.
Monday, 12 January, the group of westerners came for meditation on the stage, while the prayer was conducted with an audio-recording of Master KPK – his presence, as well as that of the Masters was strongly felt in this sublime surrounding. At noon time, there was the “Fusion of East and West” session. A German member, together with me, were invited by Guru Prasad to give a talk. I spoke about what had surprised me in Vizag this year – there were many flags and slogans of the communist party around in various parts of the city – and about Master EK’s books Music of the Soul, Man Sacrifice and The World Teacher. Advent of Lord Krishna, where the Master depicts the work of the Hierarchy in against society-undermining ideologies and intrusions and preparing the stronghold of wisdom to stand through the approaching dark age, which today is rampant – you find there a lot of keys for a spiritual understanding of today’s global situation, keys however, which need to be unveiled. We also unpacked the newly released Telugu book of the life of Master Jesus, which Master Kumar had dictated over years to his wife and which had been published in the Navani magazine. The English translation is partly published in the monthly Vaisakh News Letters in a raw translation and is work in progress – a great work, in a way a continuation of the above mentioned books of Master EK.
At the close of the Guru Pujas, there was a beautiful candle ceremony where all the other lights were switched off – the light of wisdom, of the Great Ones, keeps on shining in the darkness.
The next day, many of the Western group members already started their journey back home. We went with a group of 9 to the Planetary Healing Center, which Master Kumar had drafted and inspired in the mid-1990s. He had the vision of a network of planetary healing centers which was inspired by sages in the past, especially the great Greek Master Asclepius. Together with the Master, we had been at the sanctuary of Epidaurus with a statue of Asclepius and a staff, symbolising the ascending kundalini energy. Now, there was a picture of this statue inside the Planetary Healing Center together with a brochure about the structure and meaning of the center, a teaching given by Master KPK, mentioning it without any reference to him. The owner’s ideas went in a little different direction than those of the Master. I had mentioned about some ritualistic revitalisation work we had done during our last visits to the center. Reyes, a ritualist “magician” from Spain, wanted to do some energizing work.
Then he started implanting 12 dynamised crystals in the ground around the Maitreya statue, which he called the spiritual center of the place. He placed a special energy stick directly into a hole at the statue – invisible from the outside, working like an antenna to the planetary network of healing centers.
We sat around the old Maitreya statue and observed.
When he began with a series of invocations, two gardeners approached and watched what we did. We welcomed them, they took photos and later went away again. I had the feeling of the energy of the place linking to the network of planetary healing energy – the purpose of Planetary Healing Center strengthened.
Afterward, we went to the ocean and enjoyed the waves and the vastness of space.
In the evening, we were brought to the new center of the Circle of Good Will India, a multy-storey-building at the place of the former Krishna ashram service center. The house was built by a property developer who uses the lower storeys. In the 4th floor of the future service center, celebrating the first birthday of Murali Nandana, the son of Jayadev and his wife, was the first activity related to WTT, and many group members, family and friends participated. It was celebrated in a grand style – a joyful close of our stay in India.
The next day my German friends and me returned via Hyderabad and Abu Dhabi to Europe.
