He concluded saying that each Full Moon of Vaisakh, special blessings would be invoked regarding this Avatar and for the adequate fulfillment of his mission.

This announcement was received with acclamations of joy by the Mahatmas there present, who were under the powerful influence of the Lord Narayana, Nara, Yoga Devi, Dakshinamurti and the Kumaras. Thirteen years after said meeting in Visala Badari, that is, in the thirteenth Parva of the Five Hundredth (500th) Sankalpa (approximately year 1905) an Assembly of some of the Hierarchs took place in the Pitta of the Suddha Dharma Mandalam in the Kolli mountain range. The meeting was presided over by Yagnanandana Siddha, the Chief in charge of the Pitta or Seat.

The Mahatma Dharmadeva, addressing the audience, reminded them of the already expressed conference of Visala Badari and observed that the moment had arrived to choose the person in the Outer World who was to be the channel for the propagation of the Suddha Dharma, and that the Masters, with the aid of their Yogic powers would do the necessary; that, in view of the imminence of the Avatar, it became necessary to introduce certain changes with respect to the work of the Mandalam and that many reforms had to be carried out in the life of the people in order to assure their well-being. When Dharmadeva gave end to his peroration, seven of the Mahatmas there present took upon themselves the work for the cause, with the aid of their mystical powers.

PEACE TO ALL THE UNIVERSE.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROPHECY

This remarkable account provides insight into how advanced spiritual organizations prepare for and coordinate the manifestation of Avatar consciousness for world service. The systematic planning and preparation described reveals spiritual work operating according to cosmic law rather than random occurrence.

The Hierarchical Structure: The detailed organization with specific roles, places, and responsibilities demonstrates that authentic spiritual work requires both inner realization and outer coordination. The Siddhas, Maharishis, and Rishis represent different levels of attainment and corresponding service functions.

The Cyclical Nature: The reference to specific Sankalpas and Parvas (24-year cycles) shows spiritual work operating according to cosmic rhythms rather than human convenience. This systematic timing reflects understanding of when consciousness changes are most favorable.

This systematic timing reflects understanding of when consciousness changes are most favorable.

The Avatar Principle: The emergence of Bhagavan Mitra Deva as an AMSA (fragment) of Lord Narayana illustrates how divine consciousness manifests through specially prepared vehicles for specific evolutionary purposes. This is not random incarnation but conscious divine intervention at crucial historical moments.

The Global Mission: The extension of work beyond India to America and other countries shows authentic spiritual impulses naturally becoming universal rather than sectarian. The selection of English-speaking emissaries indicates practical adaptation to contemporary communication needs.

The chronology (prophecy in 1892, manifestation around 1918-1919) demonstrates the long-term preparation required for authentic spiritual manifestation, validating traditional teachings about the Avatar principle while adapting them to modern circumstances.

The Miracle (Part 1)

A Story of Faith and Healing at Lourdes

By Andrea Majocchi (Translated by Pitágoras S.I.)

But, behold, all gazes turn toward the Cathedral. A wild cry bursts from thousands of chests. The procession exits from the ark of the Temple slow and solemn: first the clerics with the great cross, then the delegations of the pilgrimages, the banners, the gonfalons gleaming with gold, then the priests singing at the top of their voices the praises of the Lord and, finally, the resplendent and golden canopy supported by four ecclesiastics. Beneath the canopy, the Most Holy Sacrament, in a glory of gold and precious stones, is held religiously by a high Prelate.

The procession descends slowly and heads toward the right side of the immense plaza; the crowd agitates and moves fluctuating almost like a sea in tempest; the invocations become cries, faces assume incredible expressions; the arms, the hands of the sick extend toward the canopy... when, behold, an extremely sharp cry is heard near the Prelate: a sick woman has risen from the stretcher, has thrown off the covers and has stood up.

A disordered movement has occurred in the crowd, the woman is assaulted from all sides, the tumult threatens to crush her, to suffocate her. All want to see the woman who received the miracle, all long to touch her. Those nearest embrace her with evident effusion of enthusiasm.

With difficulty the brancardiers surround and defend her forming around her an armor of protection, then they carry her, lifting her, toward the stairway of the Bureau des constatations.

THE MEDICAL EXAMINATION

Some minutes later the door of the office opens and behold her, before us, still accompanied and defended by the brancardiers but also followed by a crowd of curious ones who try to burst into the locale and who with difficulty are repelled.

The young woman is still dominated by excitement, in a state almost like delirium. She seems as if dreaming, with dilated eyes and does nothing but repeat mechanically, almost as if unconsciously, the same words: "Je suis guérie… je suis guérie!..."

Dr. Boissarie, accustomed to these scenes, does not become disturbed. He has her gently lie down on the examination bed, leaves her quiet for some instant and, meanwhile, tries to obtain from the relatives some anamnestic information. But the family members also seem maddened. They do nothing but stammer some broken and incoherent phrases. The sister, however, presents a sheet, a medical certificate from a physician in Paris, who attests that the young woman, for ten years, has been affected by tuberculosis of the dorso-lumbar spinal column; a spondylitis that began slowly and that was treated with all possible means, through application of corsets, solar cures, iodine cures, etc.

In the patient a hunchback condition had also formed and, finally, a paralysis of the lower extremities had manifested, so that, the unfortunate was obliged to remain continuously in bed. In recent years, not only could she not walk, but could not even stand up. To this information followed a summary description of the hunchback condition and of a voluminous cold abscess that occupied, at the moment of departure from Paris, the right iliac fossa. This abscess, according to the physician's opinion, should be aspirated, but the patient, before submitting to further cures, had wanted to come to Lourdes and here had been transported on a stretcher, since she was incapable of moving, accompanied by relatives and under their complete responsibility.

THE MYSTERIOUS HEALING

Dr. Boissarie read rapidly through the sheet, then passed to examination of the patient, who, meanwhile had calmed a little and had also undressed with the help of family members. She presented an evident lumbo-dorsal hunchback condition, but not painful; of the cold abscess in the iliac fossa, no trace. The motility, sensitivity, reflexes of the lower extremities resulted perfectly normal. Although the muscular masses were a little atrophic, the young woman still moved and lifted her legs. Invited to get up, she stood and could walk.

An exclamation of surprise escaped from those present among whom were many physicians. Boissarie read the sheet again; but he did not seem to be entirely convinced; he wished he had had a greater quantity of information; a more exact clinical history, radiographs... Oh if the physician who treated her had come personally accompanying her! On the contrary the two women, the patient and the sister, had come to Lourdes without even having joined a pilgrimage, and, therefore, the testimony of the train physician was also lacking.

The doctor returned to question the relatives and to examine the young woman. Conscientious as he was, the distinguished physician was truly troubled; he did not know how to conduct himself and, finally, took the wisest course, that is, to keep the young woman under observation postponing all judgment.

Meanwhile the Sacrament procession had ended, the crowd had dispersed in various directions; part to the ample basilica, part directed toward the Grotto and part, finally, had returned to the lodgings and hotels. That multiform cosmopolitan crowd was still vibrant with ardor and almost as if electrified by the suggestive atmosphere.

THE DOCTOR'S REFLECTION

I also abandoned my observation post, greeted Dr. Boissarie and, step by step, returned to the hotel passing again through that hubbub of vendors and merchants, of that noisy crowd of pilgrims, but without seeing anything, without paying attention.

My mind was too saturated with impressions and my spirit with emotions. I still had before my eyes those faces ecstatic with piety in their expression, those imploring and tearful gazes.

I still heard the heartbreaking cries of the faithful:

O Seigneur, guérissez nos malades!

Figlio di Davide, abbi pietá de noi!

and the arms extended toward the splendorous golden canopy almost as if they wished to force the Divine will to tear from it the grace.

Spectacle of suffering and faith!

THE QUESTIONS OF SCIENCE

And, from among the crowd of the sick, there appeared to my imagination obstinately, the woman with the ulcerated sores and the young woman with spondylitis. How to explain these cases? By means of what unknown metabolic processes had those sores, which had lasted for years, disappeared healing in few days? And, that the sores had existed, there was no doubt, because the recent scars attested to it.

Perhaps the ulcers were not varicose, perhaps the diagnosis had been wrong, but, even if they were of another nature, such as tubercular or syphilitic, it was no easier to explain their cure. When has one seen a tubercular or syphilitic sore heal in a few hours?

And, that they had healed rapidly, was attested also by the relatives and even more by the nurses of the "Asylum" who had treated them some days before.

And the young woman with spondylitis? Was it that, in this case, the cure was less strange? In this case there also existed a medical certificate of indisputable value and recent date. The tuberculosis of the last dorsal vertebrae and of the first lumbar undoubtedly existed since the hunchback condition was well visible; and the paralysis, or at least the paresis of the lower extremities had, without doubt, existed, since the young woman for a long time could not move from her stretcher.

Not even the hypotrophy of the muscular masses was a symptom that should not be valued. It is certain that, if one wants to quibble, one could think that, during the time passed in the long illness, the inflammatory process had disappeared and that the lesions had been healing. Thus, also the nervous elements contained in the spinal canal could have improved their state and returned to find the conditions necessary for their function; possibility of function of which the patient had no knowledge, accustomed, as she was, for a long time, to immobility.

A powerful psychic shock could have acted as a stimulus, awakening her from that torpor just as a whip acts on an exhausted horse.

Very well. And the cold abscess? That voluminous iliac abscess confirmed by the physician before departure for Lourdes and, in which he prepared to immerse the trocar for aspiration?

Where had all that corruption gone? Perhaps the fatigue of the journey and above all the jolting of the train had provoked the rupture of the abscess in a hollow organ, such as for example the bladder or the intestine and the pus had exited with the urine or with the feces. But, when has one seen an iliac abscess of spondylitic origin open into the bladder or into the rectum? And, even if this had happened, can one think that the young woman would not have noticed such an abundant evacuation of pus in the urine or with the fecal matter? Certainly there is nothing absolute in clinical practice, but, in this case one had to admit the coincidence of a quantity of facts, one more singular and strange than the other.

THE DEEPER MYSTERY

Such thoughts tormented my mind during the afternoon and kept me awake during the night. When the next morning I got up I was still impressed and tired; I had even forgotten that, in the evening, we had to leave returning to Italy.

Those few days of pilgrimage had passed rapidly, they had been days of emotion and surprises.

At three in the afternoon all the Italian pilgrims had to gather at the station. Our train awaited us under the wide shed. All were punctual. I found again my travel companions sad to return so soon and who repeated that they would have stayed still and gladly in that country of dreams, in that atmosphere of enthusiasm.

I passed in review the sick; they were still in the same conditions as before; no cure, no improvement. I expected to hear words that expressed feelings of sorrow, recriminations or disillusionment, but, nothing of all that. I found, on the contrary, all resigned and almost as if reanimated.

Some manifested the intention of returning another year, of returning again until the Blessed Virgin would have granted them the grace. Others were full of confidence and intimately persuaded that their cure would have been verified after the return. In Lourdes they had implored the Virgin, in the homeland they would have continued their prayers and grace would have consoled them. Was it not written: Pulsate et aperietur vobis?

In all, finally, indistinctly, had penetrated a sentiment of relief; a force of spirit, a strange and ineffable serenity, a moving resignation.

I found again the blind woman, blind as before, in the depths of a third-class car. She was, huddled, in a little corner, holding herself firmly to her husband's arm.

I called her by name asking how she was. She recognized me by voice because I had been very interested in her and had expressed many wishes for her cure. She thanked me with a moved voice. I wished for her to be cured after the return. She answered me: "If the Lord wants it, I will be cured; but I am content just the same because I am sure that I will see my children in Paradise..." I withdrew with tears in my eyes, astonished, amazed, admiring.

THE TRUE MIRACLE

But how? All those people, came to Lourdes to implore graces and cures, had sustained sacrifices, suffered indescribable fatigues, enduring in morbid conditions the hard fatigues of travel, without obtaining anything and however, each one returned resigned, relieved, serene. Not a word of discouragement, not an accent of rebellion.

If nothing more than this had happened; was not this alone a miracle?

THE END

THE DEEPER SIGNIFICANCE

This powerful narrative reveals multiple levels of healing that extend far beyond the physical cures that attract public attention. The author's honest medical perspective provides credibility while his spiritual sensitivity perceives the deeper transformation occurring in all pilgrims, whether physically healed or not.

The Medical Mystery: The detailed clinical description of the spinal tuberculosis case demonstrates genuine medical phenomena that challenge materialistic explanations. The complete disappearance of a documented cold abscess represents the kind of instantaneous healing that defies conventional understanding of pathological processes.

The Transformation of Suffering: The most profound miracle described is the transformation of disappointed pilgrims from potential bitterness to serene acceptance and renewed faith. This psychological and spiritual healing affects everyone, not just the few who receive physical cures.

The Blind Woman's Wisdom: Her response—"I will see my children in Paradise"—reveals the deepest level of healing: the transformation of consciousness that transcends physical limitations and finds meaning in suffering itself.

Faith vs. Credulity: The story distinguishes between naive expectation and mature faith. True faith accepts whatever outcome serves the soul's highest good, while credulity demands specific material results.

The Ultimate Question: The narrator's final recognition—"was not this alone a miracle?"—points to the real purpose of sacred sites: not to provide magical solutions but to transform consciousness and deepen spiritual understanding.

This account provides remarkable documentation of how authentic spiritual healing operates simultaneously on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels, often accomplishing its deepest work in ways that escape superficial observation.

🌟 THE PROPHETIC VISION OF 1945

This February 1945 issue stands as one of the most prophetically significant in the journal's history, published at the precise moment when World War II was ending and humanity stood at the threshold of the new age. The convergence of themes reveals the editors' extraordinary understanding of the forces shaping human evolution.

THE GEOLOGICAL AND RACIAL TRANSFORMATION

Lorelair's exposition of Cedaior's teaching on the Sixth Race provides remarkable anticipation of geological and consciousness changes. The reference to the 1944 San Juan earthquake as confirmation of Pacific continent emergence demonstrates how esoteric knowledge anticipates scientific discovery by decades.

The Olympic Race Concept: The notion that advanced souls from past civilizations will reincarnate collectively to establish the Sixth Root Race provides a spiritual explanation for the accelerated consciousness evolution observed since the mid-20th century.

The Symbolic Stars: The progression from five-pointed (Fifth Race - concrete mind) to six-pointed (Sixth Race - abstract mind, Love, Altruism) star perfectly captures the consciousness shift from rational materialism to intuitive spirituality.

THE INSTITUTIONAL WISDOM

Pitágoras's documentation of Martinist history during transitional periods offers profound insights into how authentic spiritual currents maintain continuity when outer forms dissolve. The mysterious "G.Z.W.J." represents the principle of hidden guidance that ensures essential teachings survive historical upheavals.

The Triple Differentiation: The emergence of Martinesism (theurgical), Willermozism (institutional), and Martinism (mystical) from single impulse demonstrates how spiritual energy naturally differentiates to serve varying human needs while preserving essential unity.

THE ASTROLOGICAL INTEGRATION

Surya's detailed analysis of Sagittarius provides both practical astrological techniques and deeper insights into the consciousness qualities needed for the evolutionary transition. The emphasis on administrative ability, philosophical wisdom, and righteous authority reflects the leadership qualities required for managing global transformation.

The Administrative Tendency: The observation that Sagittarian types naturally manage others' resources reveals the stewardship consciousness needed for the transition from competitive to cooperative social structures.

THE MYSTICAL COMMUNICATION

Asuri Kapila's exposition of Yoga Mudra presents a sophisticated understanding of consciousness projection and reception through the subtle anatomy. The explanation of how advanced beings communicate through prepared channels provides practical guidance for authentic spiritual transmission.

The Scientific Approach: The detailed description of etheric saturation and magnetic point creation bridges ancient practice with modern energy understanding, anticipating contemporary research in consciousness fields.

THE COMPASSIONATE ACTION

The Maha Boddhi Sangha materials demonstrate practical application of Buddhist principles through organized healing work. The systematic Sunday healing service provides a model for collective consciousness application that anticipates later developments in distant healing research.

The World Vision: The New Year Mantra's inclusion of political peace, environmental harmony, and animal welfare demonstrates the integrated approach necessary for planetary healing.

THE AVATAR PRINCIPLE

The Suddha Dharma Mandalam account of systematic preparation for Avatar manifestation reveals how advanced spiritual organizations coordinate world service. The detailed chronology and hierarchical structure provide insight into how cosmic consciousness manifests through specifically prepared vehicles.

The Global Mission: The extension of work from India to America and beyond demonstrates authentic spiritual impulses naturally becoming universal rather than remaining culturally bound.

THE HEALING MYSTERY

Majocchi's account of Lourdes healings provides remarkable documentation of consciousness transformation operating on multiple levels simultaneously. The recognition that psychological and spiritual healing often matters more than physical cure offers profound insights into authentic healing principles.

The True Miracle: The transformation of disappointed pilgrims into serene, faith-filled souls reveals the deepest level of healing—the shift in consciousness that transcends physical limitation.
