The Temple of  God's Will

In the 'foothills of the majestic Himalaya Mountains, looking out upon the ever-rising crests of snow covered peaks, stands the home and Retreat of the Chohan of the First Ray, Beloved El Morya. It takes a tremendous strength of character and determination to represent God's Will on Earth, where the mass mind of the people, lethargically or resentfully, accent as God’s Holy Will the many vicissitudes which plague them as a result of their misuse of life and disobedience to that Will. 

Thus, through centuries of time, the Beloved El Morya was prepared to hold this Office and his own nature, coupled with the Light in his Causal Body, finally did so prepare him to become the manifest Example and Exemplar of God's Will to the people of Earth. Then, to be able to expand the manifestation of that Will among Earth's evolutions here, it became necessary for him to find chelas who could and would accept his directions and counsel and endeavor through the use of their own talents, gifts and rowers, to make these directives available to the more receptive minds of the race. 

El Morya chose India as his headquarters on Earth because he had served in that country for many ages before his Ascension, and because it has such tremendous momentums of a spiritual nature from the past. He chose the particular location of his Retreat also because of the inaccessibility of these high lands to the merely curious. This location gave him and his Brotherhood greater freedom to develop their momentums of the manifesting of the Will of God as a living, breathing, pulsating Flame and Ray, whose radiation is constantly flowing through the lower atmosphere of Earth wherein the people unascended dwell. 

Driving or walking up the tree-lined entrance to Beloved El Morya’s home and looking upon the magnificent edifice which is his headquarters, Beloved Morya’s personal elegance and fastidiousness are noted by the discerning chela, being reflected, not only in the architectural beauty of his home, but also in the magnificent gardens which surround it. There is a great sense of warm welcome and graciousness which radiates forth from this Focus. 

Entering into the actual home of El Morya, the chela is graciously welcomed by one of his hosts and, according to the chela's spiritual development and requirement, is he or she allowed to enter into the drawing room at the left of the center hall. In this hall is a miniature of the Taj Mahal, in loving honor to his brother and fellow-server, the Ascended Master Kuthumi. 

In the drawing room there is always a fire burning in the grate; a tea service set out and the piano opened so that chelas so inclined may play upon it. Sometimes, Beloved El Morya himself will play upon this piano. He plays the beautiful Music of the Spheres or the more commonly known melodies which have become dear to the hearts of men as his own endeavors at musical composition when, before his Ascension, he was the Irish composer Thomas Moore. This is not to be confused with Thomas more, who lived some centuries before, but whose personality was also ensouled by El Morya. 

At the right of the beautiful entrance hall is the Council Chamber of the Beloved El Morya. Here, from time to time, the wise and spiritually elect gather together to learn the Law of Life. Also individuals who are primarily interested in the furthering of Universal Brotherhood and Divine Government are allowed the privilege of entering this Privy Council and sitting at the feet of El Morya, whose advice has helped many a patriot and governmental official to avoid national and even international disaster. 

All of the Ascended Masters, having become HARMONY itself in every cell and atom of their beings, are very talented musically. It is not unusual to see them gathered around Beloved El Morya's rosewood piano, blending their voices in song. El Morya himself has a lovely tenor voice: Beloved Kuthumi often accompanies him on the piano. So they have a merry time. Of course, the energy thus released and qualified with such exquisite harmonious beauty, is always consciously directed into the worlds of the chelas and then out through all mankind, as a buoyant and spiritual vitalizing power. The Ascended Masters never use Life without some definite purpose. Yes, surely, they do enjoy communion with each other, but, always, the gifts which result from such communion become a vital, redeeming quality of energy for the entire human race.

We suggest the singing of the Song to Beloved El Morya to the tune of "Believe me if all those endearing young charms."
