The Power of sound

To utter OM regularly in groups has a better effect on the subtle planes for world peace than peace demonstrations.

Rhythm and ritual

All rhythms and rituals finally aim at transforming the matter of our body in a natural way in order to enable a faster development.

Listening to the silence

When we listen to the silence, we will hear a humming sound. This is the voice of silence, the soundless sound which is heard in the heart centre.

Sanat Kumara
Samasta Yogī Janatārakam Tham.
Sanat Kumaram Saranam Prapadye.

OM Shanti, Shanti, Shantihi

Explanation

Sanat Kumara Mantra

Samasta Yogī Janatārakam Tham.
Sanat Kumaram Saranam Prapadye.

To all yogis, you are the liberating one. I walk into your fold of protection and guidance, so that I am completely protected, guided, elevated, and transformed.
He is the community of all yogis; he has come down from beyond the planet. Oh Sanat Kumara, we surrender to you.

Maitreya Mantra

Kripā Samudram Sugatasya Mitram
Tapascharantam Giriraja Pārsway.

An ocean of compassion, a friend of all those who want to walk the path of light.
He is always in the highest state, between Ajna and Sahasrara, and transmits the Plan to the followers. He is residing beside the mount where the Lord lives. He has no preferences.

Jagadgurum Sarva Mata Pradīpam
Namāmi Maitreyam Agādha Bodhām.

He is the World Teacher, Jagadguru. He uplifts every religion to the light.
Namaskarams Maitreyam; it is impossible to understand his depth.

OM Shanti, Shanti, Shantihi

OM, Peace, Peace, Peace.


These slokas (mantrams) come from Vidyaranya Maharshi (1296 – 1391 CE), a very great initiate. You might sing them once in a week, maybe after fire ritual.

The work of Sanat Kumara will have to be more and more recollected and realized in us. By doing this and by speaking of Sanat Kumara and Sambala you are already doing great service according to the Masters of Wisdom.

Sanat Kumara has around him three great beings. The first and foremost of them is Lord Maitreya. The other is called Sugata or Tatagata, who is no different from Gautama the Buddha. The third one is Shankaracharya - very well known to the Indians but not much paid attention to. They constitute the first triangle around Sambala and Sanat Kumara. Around them there is the Hierarchy. We know some of the important members of the Hierarchy; we don’t know all the names of all those great beings that guide this humanity.

Lord Maitreya is the ageless one. He was already a great adept even before the advent of Lord Krishna. He was a chief disciple of Parasara. He is the one who attained the state of being the Friend of the Universe. Maitreya means, embodiment of friendliness.

Sanat Kumara is the one who can liberate all yogis - yogis, not you and me. Liberating us is the work of the Hierarchy. It is the will of the Hierarchy that they shall externalize themselves. The time for the externalization of the Hierarchy has come to be. How can they be externalized? We should get in touch with the existence of the Hierarchy and then make sure that from time to time we recollect them. When we do prayers in the morning and evening hours, we should necessarily think of Lord Maitreya to keep receiving his rays of grace.
