Journey to Spain 6 – May Call Day Celebration at the Castillo De Maimón

The next day, together with part of the group, we moved to the Castillo de Maimón at the outskirts of Cordoba, the site where the May Call Day celebration was going to take place.

The name of the castle refers to Maimonides, a medieval Jewish rabbi, philosopher, astronomer and also physician of great renown, who was born and lived over years in Cordoba but later had to flee. We had seen his statue in the old Jewish quarter of Cordoba.

Inside the Castillo, there was a beautiful hall with a little fountain in the centre, where we met for some rituals.

The general group meetings, however, were in a smaller hall where the Cordoba group had arranged a beautiful altar and decorations. The group opened the May Call celebration by singing some songs with the fiery temperament of Southern Spain.

Spontaneous musical contributions were going on outside and in the evening, also with dancing. The enthusiasm caught the entire group.

There were inspiring talks by Guru Prasad and other group members, which were simultaneously translated into 3 other languages and broadcasted via Zoom. And there was also a video talk Master Kumar had given at the same place in Cordoba in 2015 – it was like seeing him live again.

The May Call Day celebration was indeed a day for reception and distribution of the Energy of Synthesis, the day of group initiation started by Master CVV in 1910 and celebrated since then.

For the fire ritual on May Call Day and the water ritual on 30 May, we gathered in the big hall. It was an intense experience of group consciousness and togetherness.

Besides the general group meetings, there were exchanges in small groups, like coordination of audiobook publishing or preparing the next year’s European May Call celebration. Above all, there were plenty of exchanges with old and friends – days of great intensity.

When we left the place in the morning of May 31st, full of joy, we suddenly saw in front of us a Jaguar having a number plate with KPK – the initials of Master KPK. We smiled about this greeting from the subtle planes.
