Shasta stands for synthesis. The will that we have and the knowledge we possess are synthesized. When the head and the heart are in good coordination, many things are possible. When we are in the head, we can be hearty too. Our problem is that when we are in the head, we are not hearty and if we are in the heart, we are too emotional. This is how, we see people who are either emotional or logical; or, sometimes emotional, and sometimes logical. This keeps on happening just like it happens with the kids. The kids are also adamant. Sometimes if we try to show them the right way, they weep! To avoid their weeping, we even restrain from saying things! A kid is a kid! It can be very hearty. It can also be very emotional. So also are the grown-ups! Though grown in body, they are not grown in consciousness. They can be very hearty sometimes or very emotional and very logical at other times. That is where rhythm is needed to synthesize the head and the heart, and that is where Shasta is needed. Shasta has thus come to be on the planet.

Shasta is another name of Lord Sanat Kumara, who is also known as Subrahmanya. In Lord Sanat Kumara, there is synthesis of will and of knowledge. He gives a synthesis of the two, to those who wish to balance themselves and stand in a state of Yoga.

It happened with me in 1995, when I came to the United States. I had heard about this Mount Shasta. The very word indicates that it is very ancient because we do not find Sanskrit terms being promoted and used in Europe or America. So, it must have been much earlier than the Aryan occupation of America, the European occupation of America, and later the Asian occupation of America. Now, it is all an Aryan occupation. But how did the name Shasta come to be? Therefore, it interested me, and I thought I should visit this place. I came to California and with the support of an Indian couple who are close to me and I visited this mount.

The very name was very attractive to me because it was Shasta, one of the names of Subrahmanya or the Cosmic Kumara whose energy is present on this planet as Lord Sanat Kumara. He is one of the four Cosmic Kumaras of this creation, Sanaka, Sanandana, Sanat Kumara and Sanat Sujata. It is Lord Sanat Kumara who also took the form of Subrahmanya, to fulfill certain dimensions of this creation and to be with us all. One of the names of Subrahmanya was given to this mount. I came, saw the mount and suggested that we should have a short meditation session. To my surprise, when the meditation was happening, the whole place became different with its etheric dimensions and I saw groups of beings tall in stature, which is very common with the White Brotherhood. The members of the White Brotherhood, are all seven footers and resplendent with light. They all wear white robes. We find white robes in all theological systems. Jesus, the Christ also wore a white robe, which is the body of causal light (Karana Sareera), through which a lot of light can be manifested. A lot of healing can be manifested, and a lot of wisdom can be manifested. On that day, I saw a group of people walking within the mount, not on the mount. This was to my great surprise, and I was thrilled.

After the prayer we went to a restaurant to have our lunch. At that time, the hosting couple asked me, “Guruji, how is it that you look different after the prayer, a bit silent, and not speaking much.” Then I told them that “this mount is sacred, there are groups of divine beings here who are conducting work and should therefore be respected. There is a benign presence here and naturally you become silent. It gets deeper, if you are silent. If you are not silent, you don’t see anything except some excitement about things. Excitement is one thing and experience is another thing.” Gently and in simple words, I explained to them that this is a very sacred place and if possible, they may try to visit this place from time to time. This happened in 1995.
