From the President’s Desk May 8, 2018

Dear Readers,

We are pleased to bring to you the ninth issue of our quarterly newsletter, “The Violet Flame Voice.” Time seems to have passed away so quickly. It is difficult to believe that the Chananda Cultural Society has already completed six years in Delhi where it was founded in 2012. During this time, much has been accomplished, by the grace of God, in breaking the bread of the teachings of the Ascended Masters with our fellow brothers and sisters in India and for which we are extremely grateful.

During the last few months, we have conducted several outreach activities in Delhi and other cities covering a lot of ground. The highlights include:

Welcoming the New Year at the ashram with our beloved community — a popular annual event! Celebrating Mother’s birthday in April at the ashram with a spiritual and material feast. Preparing for the first time, a camera-ready copy of the Hindi translation of the Violet flame pocketbook,

“Violet Flame to Heal Body, Mind & Soul” for the Hindi-speaking audience. Conducting a violet flame workshop in April at a public venue, “Restoring Wholeness to Your Seven Energy

Chakras with Violet Flame.” In April and May holding five free follow-up mini-workshops at the ashram covering a variety of the

Ascended Master topics. In February conducting a first–ever violet flame workshop in the City of Ghaziabad. Visiting Jaipur in March to strengthen our newly-formed study group in the Pink City. In March we displayed our books in a booth at the International Spiritual Festival in New Delhi sponsored

by the Life Positive Foundation. I trust you will enjoy reading more about these activities in the following pages.

Every year, as you know, I leave Delhi during the summer months to be with my family in the US. This year is no exception. I plan to leave for USA in late May and return in early September. While in the USA, I will be spending two weeks in Montana where the Headquarters of the Summit Lighthouse is located. There I will attend a spiritual retreat and meet with other students of the Ascended Masters.

While I am away, Poonam Chugh and Jay Thukral, who are Keepers of the Flame, will continue to lead weekly decree sessions with other community members at the ashram on Sundays from 11:00 am to noon. They very much look forward to having you join them. I will also remain in touch.

Thank you for your encouraging participation and active support that is helping the teachings of the ascended masters become a household word in India — slowly but surely — by the grace of God!

Welcoming the New Year at the Ashram

Like every year, on our spacious third floor penthouse under a blue sky and a warm

sun, we welcomed the 2018 New Year at the ashram on December 30. It seems like it

has become an annual tradition to do so as our members anticipate and plan ahead to

celebrate the New Year with other community members at the ashram. The

temperature was in a comfortable and cozy range in the upper seventies with light

wind. The festivities were held from 1:00-3:00 pm.

We began with an invocation by Mother followed by the chakra clearance meditation

by Mother, and a few selected songs and decrees leading up to the consecration of the

letters to the Karmic Board. The service concluded with light Indian refreshments. Many people brought

sweets and other delicious edibles as it is customary for people to bring something. It was a very moving

celebrations with over 20 people in attendance. We were happy to welcome some new people who came

from the neighboring town of Noida located in the State of Uttar Pradesh.

The highlight of the service was the offering of the letters to the Karmic Board and the Divine Beings who

we write to twice a year requesting assistance for personal and impersonal problems. Before consecrating

the letters to the heavenly hosts for their blessings, one of our long-time members shared her testimonial

with the group. She said that before coming to the ashram for the New Year service that day, she happened

to find a copy of the letter to the Karmic Board she had written the previous year. She mentioned that

while she was reading it, she got filled with tears of gratitude because 90% of the requests she had made

to the Karmic Board at that time had been granted. We burned the letters while standing around the

bonfire and chanting the Gayathri mantra. It was a community-wide bonding as well as a celestial

experience to behold as people looked very joyous!

Violet Flame Pocketbook in Hindi

We are pleased to announce the unveiling of our first Hindi

translation book of Violet Flame to Heal Body, Mind and Soul. We

are negotiating with several local publishers to print and distribute

hard copies through nationwide bookstores and online venues. We

are very excited about this breakthrough and hope that this book

will serve as an open door for spreading the teachings of the ascended masters in India.

It took us almost two years to translate the English version into Hindi to ensure that the authenticity of the

message is preserved and not compromised in any way during the translating process. We pray that this

book in Hindi would also serve as a benchmark for translating it into several other Indian languages in the

future. Interestingly, 23 languages are spoken in India, including English.

Workshop on the Seven Chakras and the Violet Flame

On April 15, we conducted a full-day workshop,

“Restoring Wholeness to Your Seven Energy Chakras

with the Violet Flame” in the Hindi language from

10:00 am to 5:00 pm at a nearby Chirag Residency

Hotel in Nehru Place, New Delhi. The information

shared was about the chakras, in particular the

difference between the simple rainbow spectrum we

are familiar with as chakra colors, and the ascended-

master pastels that carry frequencies and attributes of

God’s light.

During our past experience in sharing the teachings in

India, we have learned that not many people

understand the purpose of the seven chakras from the

divine perspective as taught by the Ascended Masters.

As a result, there are many information gaps and even

some erroneous assumptions that are based on

human logic rather than divine understanding.

Keeping this in mind, we opened our presentation by

first explaining the chart of the Divine-Self and the

interconnection of the seven bodies—the three upper

bodies (the I AM Presence, Causal Body and Higher-

Self) and the four lower bodies (the etheric, mental,

emotional and physical bodies) with the seven

chakras.

We gave a brief overview of each chakra including their positive and negative expressions and their

relationships with the corresponding organs in our bodies and the resulting diseases. This portion of the

presentation helped us set the stage for introducing the violet flame and the teachings on the purification

of the four lower bodies and healing of the human organs by the application of violet flame.

Several old members and new seekers came and seemed to enjoy themselves. People asked many

interesting questions about the colors of the chakras. We invited them to come to the ashram for the

follow-up mini-workshops on Sunday mornings and Tuesday evenings.

Follow-up Mini-Workshops

As a follow-up to this workshop, we have begun a series of five, two-hour long free mini-workshops

beginning April 22 (10:00 am-12:00 pm) in the Hindi language on Sundays at the ashram. For those, who

are unable to attend on Sundays, we have an alternate class scheduled on Tuesdays from 4:30 to 6:30 pm.

Topics covered included the violet flame, angels, ascended masters, the Chart of the Presence, and the

science of the spoken word. The attendance was very encouraging by God’s grace.

Happy Birthday, Guru Ma!

As we do every year, we celebrated Guru

Ma’s birthday at the ashram on April 8

with great joy and enthusiasm. We sent a

colorful invitation to our members and

also prepared a booklet for everyone

which included Mother’s keynote song,

“Beautiful Dreamer” and simple decrees,

including Heart, Head and Hand and violet

flame decrees.

The weather had turned cooler (from 100

degrees F to the low 90s) as it had rained

the day before.

We began around 5:00 pm and ended at 7:00 pm. We prayed individually to Mother and the masters

imploring to achieve the gift of permanent bonding of our souls to our Higher Selves before partaking of

the delicious fruit cake and many refreshments brought by the community members. The joy and

happiness felt by everyone testified to the presence of our beloved Guru Ma, the masters and hosts of light.

Violet Flame Workshop Comes to the City of Ghaziabad

On February 10, we conducted a two-hour workshop on violet

flame in Ghaziabad in the home of one of our members who had

invited us. This was our first violet flame workshop in that city. The

theme of the workshop was “How to Invoke Many Blessings of Violet

Agni.” We had prepared a brief workbook which had 20 slides

translated into both the English and Hindi languages.

The workshop was held from 3:30 pm-5:30 pm. The energies in

the room were pleasant and people seemed to be very receptive to

the message. It became easier as the workshop progressed for

people to understand the message by following it in the workbooks

they were provided.

We concluded the workshop by engaging in a brief chakra

clearance ritual by chanting violet flame mantras for each chakra.

In conclusion, it was a very interactive, productive and spirited

session. We could feel the presence of the angels.

Follow-up with the Jaipur Study Group

We visited the city of Jaipur again on March 11 to have a follow-up meeting with the students who had

attended our violet flame workshops in December. Jaipur is called the ‘Pink City’ and is the heart chakra of

India. We reached Jaipur by 11:00 am and after taking a brief rest, began our meeting at 1:00 pm. It was

quite an interactive and spirited meeting which involved questions and answers about the teachings.

Some people witnessed to the power of transformation of the violet flame they had experienced. The

meeting concluded at 3:30 pm. We all agreed that it would benefit everyone, if we visited Jaipur once

every two months and continued meeting with them and sharing the teachings until we reach a point

when we are all comfortable meeting on Skype or through another platform. Our next visit to Jaipur is

planned for September 2018.

Life Positive Expo

in Delhi

On March 16-18, we

participated in the

International Spiritual Festival

at Zorba the Buddha Meditation

Center in New Delhi where

over 200 alternate energy

healers/ practitioners

participated. The expo was

sponsored by a local New Age

group called the ‘Life Positive

Foundation.’ We set up a booth

displaying our books and other

items and shared the teachings

with people who came by.

Many people signed up to

receive information for our

future events and signed up our

mailing list.

Chananda’s Children: School in the

Park Project

The Chananda’s Children School in the Park

project has entered the second year since its

inception and is growing with 8-10 children

attending classes every day from 4:30 pm to 6:00

pm. In January 2018, some of the children

returned to their villages located outside Delhi as

their parents’ employment contract with the Delhi

government had expired. At the same time, under

a new contract, some new garden employees were

hired who moved in the park with their families

and their children joined the classes. In addition

to educational learning, the children seem to have

learned much in behavioral manners and social

etiquette.

Messages from Heaven……

Become A Devotee of the Divine Mother

“Now you may become the devotee of myself as Brahma, myself as Vishnu,

myself as Shiva or you may become the devotee of the Divine Mother, my

consort in numerous manifestations. Make your peace with the Divine Mother

and you will know her Son and love him and obey him and be wed to him.

Make your peace with the Divine Mother. There shall not be then, there canst

not be, any barrier twixt thyself and I AM THAT I AM.”— Brahma, Vishnu,

Shiva, Pearls of Wisdom®, Vol. 34, No. 43, September 8, 1991

Pursuing the Path of the Initiates

“I AM Shiva! I am always nigh at hand. I pursue, as the hound of heaven, the

students on the path of the initiates of the East and of the ascended adepts. You

do not need to call me with a long and loud call as if I were far away! A simple

signal will suffice, for I am the genie of the Ruby Ray. I am always ready,

beloved. Turn your life around with me and I will show you my cosmic dance,

and I will dance with you and whirl in the sphere of fire. Yes, I shall show you

how imminent is your victory. Set forth your desirings. Then make your life a

one-pointed goal to achieve them. Nothing shall be impossible to you with God

as Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva!”— Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, Pearls of

Wisdom®, Vol. 34, No. 62, December 1, 1991

Karma and Dharma – The Reason for Being

“Dharma is the call of the hour, and you will not leave these planes of incarnation

until you have not only balanced your karma but fulfilled your reason for being.

Since that reason for being includes your service to life with your twin flame, I

have come to strengthen the tie and to strengthen you as you rock your own

blessed soul, your own blessed inner child, in the cradle of your heart.”— Lord

Krishna, Pearls of Wisdom®, Vol. 36, No. 47, October 10, 1993.

From our Members….

In March 2016, I saw a billboard in front of our house in South Delhi. On it was written

a two line mantra: I AM a being of Violet Fire, I AM the purity God desires. On the

billboard, it was mentioned that this mantra can transform your life. This billboard

must have been seen by many people in my neighborhood, but very few persons

responded. To me, it meant that there must have been a specific call for me from the

higher plane.

Since then, I have been giving this mantra regularly and have learned that there are several other violet

flame mantras also. When we chant these mantras loudly and with vigor, the results are imminent. It has

taught me to forgive and forget unpleasant incidents with people I had in the past --- a surefire way to

achieve peace, calmness and tranquility within. The violet flame mantras have very thought-provoking

words embedded in them and repeated practice of chanting them helps to wipe out our negative karma

from the slate of life. One should not miss out the experience! ----- Shaktibrata Bhattacharyya

The spiritual techniques of violet flame have brought a healthy change in my life.

I believe violet flame has been an effective force in my life for keeping the negative

thoughts and energies at bay from my mind. Doing the decrees and meditating on the

violet fire helps me in keep developing positive thoughts in my mind and then

sustaining them throughout the day. I thank the violet flame masters, especially Saint

Germain, and violet flame angels for the gift of the violet flame! ---- Shabiya Tawar

During my association with the teachings of the ascended masters over the past two

years, I have learned about many hidden blessings of the violet flame. When I chant

these mantras in a concentrated manner for a relatively longer period of time on a

regular basis, the energies generated dissolve my bad karma and transform it into

good karma. The experience has helped me in overcoming depression and low self-

esteem I had experienced in my life before. Daily giving of decrees to the Ascended

Masters, Archangels, and cosmic beings helps me to start my day on a positive note.

Thank you dear heavenly friends for coming into my life! ----- Inder Mohan
