Let it be theme of meditation and reverence for all Disciples. It reads thus:
THE PROPHETIC CIRCULAR (JANUARY 10, 1919)
"Suddha Dharma Mandalam — Subhamastu Sarvajagatam Namasté Mahadbhya, Siddhebyo, Gurubyascha, Namó, Nahmá"
On the 16th of the present month, one of the elevated members of the Suddha Dharma Mandalam will reincarnate in order to carry out by himself a work for the good of the world. This day, therefore, is worthy of being observed by all members of the Mandalam and they should have the kindness to celebrate it as such. At about 6:30 P.M., after the customary daily Anushatanam, the members should offer a supplication in their own language to Yoga Devi and to the Hierarchs of the Mandalam so that prosperity may be granted to the entire world.
The house should be decorated with lights, as much as possible, as a demonstration of the joy that is felt on such an occasion. Celebrate a feast that same night, in harmony with circumstances.

OBSERVANCES OF THE FULL MOON OF VAISAKA
PREPARATION AND PURIFICATION
On the night of Saturday May 26, the Members of the Suddha Dharma Mandalam must bathe before sunset (Saturday), having fasted the entire said day. In addition to the practice or meditation that they might have done on Saturday morning, they will return to do their daily meditation or practice, at night, before the hour that was fixed for the Ceremony of the Full Moon of Vaisaka, and at said hour they will be in the Ashram in which said celebration should be realized, and if it were not possible for them to attend, they will join it from their homes or appropriate place.
THE CEREMONIAL SETUP
At 1:48 (Greenwich Mean Time¹) of the 27th day they must sit in the Ashram—or appropriate place—, facing north. In the center of the ceremonial place or before each isolated member, there will be a vegetal leaf, and in the center of it should be placed, without touching the ground, a clean metal vessel, quite wide of mouth, filled three-quarters with limpid water. Two fragrant red flowers should be put in the vessel (whose significance the Members know). On the right side there will be white and fragrant flowers on a clean plate. The Members must think of their Instructor, of the Guru, and that before them are gathered in Assembly the Siddhas belonging to the Suddha Dharma Mandalam, celebrating rites for the good of the world for the next twelve months. Then, with joined hands, they will repeat the verses that are given below, and offer one of the white flowers, putting it in the vessel, after reciting each verse.
