Собор Природы
Собор Природы — обитель Вознесенного Владыки Кутхуми. Собор построен непосредственно над озером Дал в Сринагаре (Кашмир). Физический фокус эфирной обители расположен в живописных садах, украшающих окрестности озера. Эти сады были спроектированы и посажены под руководством Кутхуми в бытность его Шахом Джаханом — императором, построившим Тадж Махал в Агре в период 1632 — 1650 гг.
В одном из садов находится дом, в котором, как утверждают, родился Кутхуми во время своего последнего воплощения. Рядом стоит еще один дом. Там есть родник чистой воды, исцеляющей по преданию многие виды неизлечимых болезней. Сюда из разных мест приходят паломники, чтобы испить из этого источника. За садами высится гора — место на физическом плане, связанное с эфирной обителью возлюбленного Кутхуми, чье пламя озаренного покоя ощущается во всем регионе.
Description
The massive center hall of the retreat is built of a substance resembling marble, combined with sparkling white stones. The giant dome over the hall is composed of the same material. Marble benches form a circular pattern around the center of the room, while on the periphery, they are perpendicular to the sides in a ray-like pattern. The benches are at some distance from one another, leaving room for the masters to gather a group of their disciples around each of these benches.
The colors of the causal body are introduced into this great white hall in the cushions on the seats of the benches; the masters and their disciples wear golden robes, being of the Order of the Brothers of the Golden Robe. Twenty-four-hours a day, groups of disciples with their teacher gather in this great hall. At intervals during each twelve-hour cycle, either the Lord of the World, the Representative of the Cosmic Christ, or one of the World Teachers enters the hall and stands on the raised dais in the center to address the masters and their disciples. On the occasion when one of the aforementioned masters gives a discourse, the smaller groups unite into one large group facing the center.
Adjacent to the great white hall is a flame room where the focus of the flame of illumination is guarded. Here the Brothers of the Golden Robe come and sit in the lotus posture to meditate, to pray and to expand the action of the flame on behalf of their brothers and sisters both in and out of embodiment. Other buildings form a part of the complex of this retreat, including libraries containing scrolls of wisdom, guarded by the angels of illumination. In these buildings, the usual functions of a retreat are carried on by the administrators under the hierarch. These include the programming of education for the entire planet and the enlisting of souls, either in embodiment or who are preparing for embodiment, to study these plans and then go forth to implement them in the world of form.
Come to Kashmir
Kuthumi writes:
I am known as a master of peace, but I prefer to be called simply a Brother of the Golden Robe. That holy order, which was founded long ago by one who saw true knowledge as the peace that passeth understanding, still functions today; and we count among our band ascended ones who have espoused the golden flame of illumination as a means of imparting peace to mankind as well as those unascended brothers and sisters who desire to become the peaceful presence of His wisdom to all mankind.
We are looking for recruits. Therefore I write to you to apprise you of the fact that there are openings in our chambers, in our libraries and in our retreats—openings for those who diligently call and are willing to be the allness of the All to hearts hungry for the flame, never chary. Yes, we have openings for those who are not chary in their use of the flame as they call with a mighty fervor upon His name....
If you would attend our University of the Spirit to learn the way to teach men how to pray, then I say, Call to me and ask the angelic hosts to accompany you to my retreat in Kashmir. And we shall receive you here to hear the Word—not mine alone, but of the masters of the Himalayas, who have outlined a course of instruction for the teachers of the race.[1]
