Maitreya Day
|
The Maitreya Day Celebration will be conducted by Dorte Moltsen at 7:45 pm Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) on Wednesday, 25 September 2024.
Although there will not be any participants in physical attendance, you are most welcome to join in with the celebration and follow the format below in your rhythm, or another format of your choice. 1. Welcome and Introduction A warm welcome to all of you as we gather to celebrate this year’s Maitreya Day. On this day we celebrate Ananda’s* birthday, and all true Gurus Day. This is also the Archangels' week and today, on the 25th of September, we celebrate the 5th ray Archangels Raphael and Mary, the Archangels of Truth and Healing. And of course, we celebrate Lord Maitreya as the risen Christ and the new Buddha of Earth, the teacher of angels and men. His role is that of the Rising Light, the Spirit of the Earth, whose presence in the global body of the planet will raise the Earth and surrounding planets to higher frequencies of God consciousness now and into the future. Ananda never tired talking about the Lord Maitreya and His work. That is what she lived for and that is what she works for now from the inner levels. What better way of reminding ourselves of this than revisiting some of her words from her birthday speech of 25 September 2002: ‘In every speech I write or give, I must bring attention to the Lord Maitreya and His Hierarchy for Their commendable and deeply committed efforts to harmonise and pacify sensitive situations and volatile and explosive conditions brought forth by erratic and unstable personalities. If the Inner Government of Earth did not tirelessly labour, engage Their Love and Will to support positive life on Earth and Right Human Relations, there would never be induction into spirit worlds, teachings of joy or miracles are happening here.’ 1 Ananda always reminded us through the Teachings to not lose hope, and that we still have a chance. She reminds us that Maitreya and the Masters tirelessly labour and engage Their Love and Will to support positive life on Earth. And as They strengthen us, hold us up, take care of us, and sustain us, it becomes our duty – our labour of love – to share this strength and nourishment with the Earth and all living on it. Let us now, with this beautiful song 'Maitreya, Spirit of the Heart', call upon the Lord Maitreya. To listen to the song, click on the white arrow in the audio bar below.
For those of us who consider ourselves as Ananda’s pupils, she has trained us, and is training us, well. For those who have other teachers, they surely train and guide you well.
We all know what to do. So, let us honour the Lord Maitreya, Ananda, the Masters, Archangels Raphael and Mary, and all true Gurus, by giving of that which we so bountifully receive from Them. 2. Singing To prepare us for the meditation to follow, we sing ‘My Dear Lord.’ Let us deepen our connection with the Lord Maitreya and open our hearts to receive His Love and Light.

Meditation Dorte will read a beautiful meditation that Ananda conducted on 16 March, 1997. In this meditation, we will go to the Holy Mount, to be embraced by Lord Maitreya and to feel the energy of redemption. This is what Ananda had to say about the Holy Mount: 'The Holy Mount is a sacred part of your soul, the part the Lord Maitreya unites with so that you may at all times connect with your soul through His being within you, until the time comes when your soul becomes a Christ and gives you consciously what He gives you now, although you may not be aware of it. Thus, Maitreya is the Christ-self present in every soul until that soul itself becomes a Christ Self.'2 To listen, click on the white arrow within the audio bar below. 4.
The Great Invocation** Everyone: From the point of Light within the Mind of God, There appears Maitreya as the Son of the Sun. Let His Light stream forth into the minds of men, Let His Light stream forth on Earth. Redeemer, Thou hast come. From the point of Love within the Heart of God, There comes Maitreya, the Lord of Love. Let His Love stream forth into the hearts of men, Christ the Risen One is here on Earth. From the Centre where the Will of God is known, Let the Avatar of Synthesis guide the wills of men. Maitreya, Your Purpose is clear. Avatar of Synthesis, make Yourself known. We serve You, Masters of the Light. From the Centre which we call the race of men, Let the Plan of Love and Light work out, And may it seal the door where evil dwells. Let Maitreya restore the Plan on Earth. Let His Light, Love, and Power be with you. **The Great Invocation as given by the Christ to the Lord D.K. has been rewritten by the Christ through Ananda Tara Shan, making it more in keeping with the times. 5. Singing With the song that follows, let us send Maitreya's love and the healing light of Archangels Raphael and Mary all over the Earth. Let us also send our gratitude to all true guides and teachers. First, let us ponder on Maitreya’s words below: ‘Lo, I spoke the Word, and see, the Heavenly Portal did open, and the vision of the new Earth was seen. I Myself, the Risen One, was seen holding the Earth Globe in My right hand, and burning love was felt by all. Such is My Love for you, humanity.'
