The Homes and Retreats of the Masters of Wisdom
KUTHUMI'S CATHEDRAL OF NATURE IN KASHMIR
August 15th to September 15th, 1953
Within the Heart of the gently rolling hills of Kashmir, in Northern India, the
great Lord Maitreya and his pupil, Kuthumi, draw around themselves those chelas
and students particularly interested in becoming Teachers of men. Here, under
the vaulted dome of Heaven, the Masters of the Golden Robe open their Hearts to
the pupils who have responded to the magnetic pull of Love Divine, and who
choose to fan the fire of their own hearts' light in the Presence of the Great
Ones whose particular Office and Service to Life is to prepare the consciousness
of dedicated lifestreams to carry the Word of God, his nature and his purpose to
the children of earth!
Whether under the Light of the sun, or the gentle radiance of the moon, the
chosen Vales of Kashmir, with their carpets of emerald green, studded with the
beautiful flowers of the east, the blue waters of her lakes, the sweetness of
the bird song, lend themselves to the sweetness that is the embodied Nature of
the Lord Maitreya and his Beloved Kuthumi, as they intensify the Feeling and
Substance of the Nature of the Cosmic Christ and convey that Nature to the
aspirants who drink in their every word, in reverence and in gratitude.
Throughout the twenty-four hour cycle, Brothers of the Golden Robe, authorized by
Lord Maitreya, are in attendance, and from all over the world there come in
their inner bodies those lifestreams interested in education, in any phase of
teaching, secular or religious, and in the Wisdom of the Brothers, each such
aspirant is placed in a group where his own particular interest is being
discussed and developed by One of the Illumined Ones who has ascended the Ladder
of Evolution upon the same Ray as the pupil who becomes his charge.
There are circles of yellow robed figures seated around Holy Men of Eastern
Evolution, others listening to the Seers and Poets and Saints of every race and
clime. Advanced chelas, as well as Masters, offer to assist in developing the
consciousness of those who have applied to the Throne of God for illumination of
their outer consciousness regarding the Divine Will, as expressed through the
Second Ray.
Mankind, when they place the physical bodies to sleep, are always drawn toward
the central focus which has formed the vibration of their waking consciousness
through the day. Thus, it is not difficult to understand how the souls of men
are magnetized by these Spiritual Centers, when the heart and mind and feelings
desire so earnestly to find truth and understanding, even while the outer self
is pursuing the seemingly mundane tasks of "making a living." Although these
Teachers of Angels and Men pursue this Spiritual Course all through the year,
the intensification of the Magnetic Power of the Cosmic Christ will make it
possible for so many more to visit these Councils, as the attention of the
Brotherhood and mankind are all drawn toward the Hills and Vales of Kashmir and
toward their Illustrious Guardians during the 30 day period when the Master
Kuthumi becomes Host to the World.
With the return of the great Lord Buddha, Guru of Lord Maitreya, who is also a
Brother of the Golden Robe, the intensification of the Illuminating Presence
through all who tune into these Great Councils will be a blessing beyond words
to describe.
Once, in each Twelve Hour Period, Lord Buddha, himself, Lord Maitreya, or
Kuthumi will deliver a Discourse. At this time, all the smaller circles with
their Gurus disband as individual units and join together at the feet of the
Holy Ones, to receive of their Love, their Light and their Blessing.
May the Love of Lord Buddha, the Wisdom of Lord Maitreya, and the Gentleness of
Kuthumi enter the hearts, minds and consciousness of the Shepherds of the Race,
the teachers of men, and the souls of our gentle readers, and there abide, until
each one faces his own Divine Teacher, the Christ Self, which is within his
heart beat, learns to recognize its voice, follow its promptings and become
itself in action both here and for eternity.
