Wisdom Yoga of Synthesis: Contemplations of a Disciple of 'The Master Djwal Khul'

Dated May/June 2025. 1. A Darshan As we meditated and learned some key concepts of Mahayana Buddhism, the air within the monastery was mildly perfumed with the delicate scent of Tibetan essence. Outside, the bees hummed among the native flowers, intoxicated by their fragrance. On the nearby trees, the monkeys leaped and swung, and the outside air was filled with the chirp of small birds and insects.       Deceived by material prosperity and addicted to comforts (I am not against either of these, but against the ever-increasing production of goods or the culture of consumerism to gratify men's insatiable desires; or to hide the unpleasant facts of life), the majority of "modernistic" men have deprived themselves of the opportunity and privileges of leading a truly satisfying life of spiritual freedom as their ancestors once did. As I took a Tibetan Buddhist retreat on the Himalayan heights, I could readily experience that it was immensely easier for the materially “ba...

Dated May/June 2025. 1. But why a Lam rim retreat? As I contemplated on the books "The Mahatma Letters", "Discipleship in the New Age Vol 1&2,", "A treatise on the white magic", "Yogasutras of Patanjali", "Agni Yoga", "Savitri" and "Letters on occult meditations", I intuited substantial parts resonated with 'my inner journey'. Moreover, I saw certain paragraphs literally identical with my own dribbled rough conjectures, especially on the crisis of synthesis. The more I read and contemplated, the more I began to recognize that I read my own (or a disciple's !) Innermost thoughts and feelings, although expressed in different styles and temperaments (which I realized only later were precisely the ray energies, most of these books being on the rays 1,2,3,4,6).  Earlier this year, I read the memoir "Living on the inner edge". This book was my first introduction to what I intuited - A 7th ray appr...

Dated May/June 2025. I entered into a ten-day silent Lamrim retreat in a Himalayan Gelugpa monastery to taste the magic of ritual (ray 7 Vajrayana Buddhism energy closely related to Theosophy) and chant the Buddha mantra for the Vaishak along with seed-based meditations included in DINA volumes. I have always felt that in the Himalayan forests, the capacity to meditate and psychic sensitivity is boosted a ten-fold in the vastness, solitude, silence and physical proximity to hermitages of MahaSiddhas as well as the Vaishak valley. The granduer and the etheric aura of the nature here heigthens the activity of intuition and facilitates exploring further dimensions of consciousness and deeper realms of reality.  Indeed, all my expectations were surpassed. I never realized more thoroughly the magic of ritual in approach to the Divine and the folly of entirely replacing it with preaching and sermonising (ray 2 psychological energy). Ritual, performed with sincerity of purpose, appealed b...

 Dated May 2025. Seed based meditations on 'The Lam-Rim of Tsong Khapa and Theosophy' This year's Vaishakh (Wesak) Purnima we will be meditating in a Tushita Meditation Center (A Himalayan Mahayana Gelugpa Monastery) located near The Fourteenth Dalai Lama's Kalachakra Temple and his residence. We will be taking "Introduction to (Mahayana Lam-Rim) Buddhism "course and two full days of meditation ending on the Viashak 12 May. Last Vaishak I had meditated with Seven Rays University Group and I recognize a few of my inner group Brothers (Ray 2 and 3) there on the physical plane. This year I am meditating remotely with Cyrus Ryan's group (Ray 7) for all are One with the Hierarchy.   Here is a summary of the relationship between exoteric tradition/lineage of Tsong-Khapa (The Dalai and Panchen Lamas) and the Trans-Himalayan Brotherhood as I have understood in my meditations so far -    "The Secret Doctrine and A Treatise on Cosmic Fire" are translated f...

 Dated 8 April 2025. How great was my surprise and my joy when seed-based meditations (as explained in the books The YogaSutras of Patanjali and Letters on Occult Meditation by Master Djwal Khul) on the Five Dhyani Buddhas led to a flash of illumination - 'A startling connection of the Tantras of Buddhism along with five Dhyanis were revealed to be symbolic of the five-fold evolution (and five root-races with remaining two as synthetic) as scientifically treated by DK in "A Treatise on Cosmic Fire" of the future. The struggle between the two worlds - past and the future, between backwardness and progress, belief/religion and science, old superstition and modern knowledge ceased permanently.' As my eyes fell on Foster Bailey's words, "In A Treatise on Cosmic Fire the Tibetan has given us what H. P. Blavatsky prophesied he would give..", I quivered with excitement. Here was a psychological key to "The Book of Dzyan" and more generally the Books o...

 Dated 2nd April 2025. In my childhood we had a school holiday on the day of Vaishak purnima (or Buddh purnima or Buddh jayanti), a gazetted holiday in India. We were taught that this day commemorates the birth, enlightenment and attainment of Mahasamadhi by Gautama the Buddha. None of us understood the deeper meaning of this day.   In the last 5 years, as I read the Discipleship in the New Age book by Master Djwal Khul and his great emphasis on the full moon (Alice Bailey translated Vaishak to Wesak) meditations. I used to ask him inwardly, What is the significance of this natural phenomenon, Master... Why only this day ? And one day suddenly, yogic contemplation or the seed-based intuitive visualisation led to the aha flash moment as – 1. The Sun (of our higher self or the solar angel/soul, Surya-Svarupa) fully irradiates the moon (of our lower self or the lunar self/personality, Chandra-Svarupa). 2. The Master (as the Sun) illumines his group of disciples (who are learning ...
