It is difficult to explain how wonderful the Feast is, how
all of a sudden there is an incredible Godly energy
everywhere, as we meditate together, and chant together, and
eat together and be in
Maitreya -
it's
presence. It is like the whole world is transformed
during those times. I felt a rejuvenation, again, a
renewal of purpose and strength. We laughed a lot
during this Feast. Someday it will like the Feast all
the time, in the world, sharing, smiling, being in our
higher natures, understanding and joining together in one
purpose....
After we discussed the saying that some Christians use,
"Blessed is He who taketh away the sins of the world," we
came to the conclusion that it is really referring to this
Revelation, to
Maitreya,
since His Teaching is the only one that has the ability to
take away "the sin of the world", the hatred, the
separation, the disunity between man and man, and religion
and religion....
I thought some more about that sentence that night, and I
realized that
Maitreya-ji
took away the sin of
my
world, He made me to turn around towards God, He showed me
how to live a correct life, he healed my sins by His
Teaching and Guidance. As each person who comes to
this Path, turns around from the world to God, there will be
less sin in the world. So that is another way that we
can say, full-heartedly about
Maitreya-ji,
"Blessed
is He who taketh away the sins of the world!"
Sal-om, and thank you eternally
Maitreya-ji
for showing me the Way,
A disciple.

Oh, indeed it was sooo great to see all of you for this
year's Feast of Tabernacles.
God's Grace is surely abundant during His Holy Days!
It seemed that the joy during this time of the year was
enhanced by the moon's grand appearance in the skies of
Albuquerque as well as the sun's.(son's):)
We could not have been more blessed with the weather.
That crisp New Mexico air makes one want to breathe and
breathe and breathe!
And, not to forget a surprising display of a meteor
flashing brightly through the night sky as we observed from
the deck of the Mission's Center!
The sharing of kirtan, prayer and meditation, and Thoth
Readings is so ONE when we are focused on God!
It cannot be explained, but felt so deeply in the
heart, God is for
sure the best Doer!
And, in the sharing of Prasadam, we received the
blessings from the food prepared by all. The service to the
Community this year by cleaning up some of the city park
area was not only fun but rewarding as we saw the
beautification unfold. I also enjoyed walking through parts
of the desert and discovering "new rocks"!
There were so many things that make good God memories of the
Feast, but the most rewarding is the direct contact with the
spirit of God through Maitreya-Ji and His teachings of
unity. Maitreya's
perseverance of the teachings of the Eternal Divine Path and
His continued offerings to mankind with His endeavors,
sparks the fire of continuity in the struggle "with God", to
bring His Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.
I am humbly grateful to have the opportunity to be a small
participant at the Feast of Tabernacles and look forward to
see the vision manifest more and more each year.
I give thanks to God for all who worked so hard to
make this Feast, again, the Best Ever!:)

Sal-OM,
To use just words to attempt to describe the Holy Days of
God, Feast of Tabernacles, is incredibly inadequate.
That is why it is so important to actually participate
wherever you are with the Mission and all the activities,
lectures, and Satsangs. Sometimes just one line from a
Satsang with
Maitreya (GIWH), a knowing smile from another member
or a message from someone online with the Mission room opens
your heart and mind to greater and deeper levels of knowing
God, and we actually dissolve our own ideas of self into The
Greater Self.
When we all first gather and
arrive, we jostle around to find our flow. After a
couple of days the flow is more evident. By the end of
the Feast, we
are
the Flow and there is no doubt left of God's Will for us.
The confidence, assurance, and absolute Oneness is all there
is. There is a 'hum' of perfection as we each are in sync
with the other; no matter what we are doing. We blend;
we dance; we are One.
Maitreya (GIWH)
teaches us that we grow more spiritually during these 8 days
than all year. It is True. It is our duty to take
this energy to accomplish what we now know to wherever we
are in the world and spread this Mission.
Thy Will Be Done.
* * *
To be able to
attend the Feast is indeed a Blessing from God. Not
only was it a Godly Feast but also it was a window through
which one could see how it would be to live in the
Communities of Light.
It is a Community where people want to share and help
each other as much as they can and do God's Will; each
according to their potentials. It is no wonder that
people didn't want to leave, including myself, because it is
unlike anything one has ever experienced. The Spirit was so
High that one just wanted to stay there and continue the
good (God) work.
There is no doubt that the Salvation of man lies within
the Communities of Light as explained by Maitreya-ji.
Thanks God for Your Son Whom You in Your Mercy sent to us to
guide us to the Truth. May the Whole Universe See this
Revelation and Rejoice!

This was my first Feast of Tabernacles. I wasn't able
to be at the Mission to celebrate and so had to do with the
Services of the Mission on PalTalk. Although PalTalk
can never substitute actually being there, the Spirit came
through beautifully!
During the Feast there was put emphasis on the Second Seal
which of course is the Communities of Light. It was
Great to have that much focus on one Seal. It gave you
the possibility to contemplate on this part of The Greatest
Sign but of course also its relation to the other Seals.
This gave me a deeper understanding of the importance of the
Communities of Light.
The Divines were incredible!! They enabled people
around the world to participate in this last Feast of the
year. They did it with so much Energy that you have no
doubt where from this Energy comes! And they don't
even take credit for it, they just say "All Thanks to God".
Maitreya (GIWH) again proved to all who had ears to
hear that He is indeed the Mouthpiece of God! When He
speaks it just amazes me how much Truth there is in His
Words!! He is truly a Channel of God as we all should
be!!
I often wonder how people cannot see Truth when they attend
a Satsang by Maitreya (GIWH). Maybe they do see it but
it scares them off. Don't be afraid! God IS... Good!!
Thanks God for this
Wonderful Feast of Tabernacles!!
May the whole Universe
see the Vision and do God's Will,
* * *
Sal-Om,
During the Feast, I was able to come together with others
who share the Vision of the Mission. The faces were
unfamiliar but the feeling of unity, the feeling of mutual
compassion, and the feeling of united one-pointedness was
very familiar. To me it was like finally blending with
a warm flowing river. All the concerns regarding
drowning was gone, because we were all One.
Leaving the Feast, and leaving the new family I received
from God, was a very difficult task for me. But I am
God's servant and there is no choice. God wrote us a
letter when He wrote Samgacchadvam. We may be
geographically apart but our hearts are inseparable.
I learned the true meaning of the Feast of Tabernacles.
God's soil is fertile. We are the gardeners for God.
Our goal is to take this new year and find the seeds within
all humans. God is the rightful owner of these seeds,
that will bloom into His Consciousness. And after we
sow and plant, we can unite once again at the Feast of
Tabernacles to share the Harvest.

The participation in the
Feast of Tabernacles 2004 was a joy in the House of the
Beloved.
Being able to nourish the
soul's path towards the fulfillment of God's Plan
is elevated more and more during the days of the Feast.
The Community of Light revolves around the Eternal Divine
Path and the commitment to sharing the teachings and working
to be(come) Divine and to help others to do the same.
Being bathed in the waters of The Word is a humble,
grateful, and strengthening celebration of Oneness.
Maitreya's
presence during Satsangs is for sure the nucleus of these
teachings. His humility, grace, and joyful aura
remains with us all.
Thanks to God for the
Best Feast Ever...as Always.

If you took all the beautiful adjectives in the dictionary
and put them together in a sentence it would still not come
close to describing the wonder of this Feast of Tabernacles
we just celebrated!
Every year we say it was the BEST Feast ever, and once
again it is the Truth. The Truth is that God is the
BEST and you could feel His Presence everywhere and in
everything we did during this Feast. It flowed so
naturally and beautifully. We seemed to dance around
the Mission working together, praying together, singing
together, meditating together, and rejoicing together.
We were ONE in every sense of the word...gathered behind
this Mission and God!
As for me, I feel my life will never be the same (praise
God!). I know I am not the same person I was 9 days
ago (before the Feast). I am renewed, my purpose in
life is
renewed and I believe I will become a better person,
stronger than ever for this Mission.
Again I thank God for in His Mercy; He has rejuvenated my
spirit and my life which in turn will effect others for the
good God. May I become but a reflection of Him!

What a
wonderful gift from God I received! I praise the Lord to
have guided me to that Teaching, to the Mission of
Maitreya, to the Path, the Eternal Divine Path.
When we are all dedicated or concentrated on the Feast
of the Lord, we really feel that this is the Will of
God. This Teaching is the Will of God and to
follow It brings a lot of joy and happiness. You
know at that moment that you are at the right place in
the universe, doing the Will of God. It is a
great Source of Light for the Soul, calming and focusing
the mind and spirit in God. It is like to be in a
Divine Shower. I can say nothing else than "Thank
You Father to have guided me to the Mission of
Maitreya". Also, thanks God for all the Divine Brothers
and Sisters you gathered under the same Goal of the
Life, to be(come) Divine. Let us walk the Path all
together.
<< One day a surge of Great
Love,
Light,
and Higher Thoughts will dawn on you, it is then
that you know
God
is with you. Eventually the Goal will be achieved,
you will be One. >> (THOTH, Holiest 1, Tab 4, V.
21-22)
Quietness,
oneness, harmony, peace are the words that come to me
when I remember that wonderful Feast of Tabernacles
2003.
This is the wish I make for every person on the earth to
feel once in their life what it is to do what God wants
us to do, at the right time, in the right place, with
the right persons; everyone focused on God, focused on
the Goal, to be(come) Divine.
I received great gifts from God during that Feast and I
thank God with all my body, my heart, my Soul. I
know that God is always with me.
Let us find the Path, let us follow the Path, let us go
to God!

The talent night of the Feast was a delight... seeing the
creativity of God that poured through the Divines (Divines
are those who serve the Mission). I was amazed that
such a small group could manifest so much talent and express
so much joy while doing it.
* * *
This Feast was so huge; I
have to let it sink in and go deep in my Soul. Maybe
by next Feast some of the depth and Glory of this Feast will
be better understood. I am in Awe of God’s Greatness.
This Feast was a Feast for humanity (The Universe), not
just for the individual or our small group. Never in
this era has humanity witnessed the Coronation of the King
of Kings. This Feast was historical, Sacred, and Most
unique ever. We are everyone at a whole new place in
the progression of God’s Plan -- His Eternal Divine Path.
God is Most Amazing and Compassionate. I only wish to
be His Servant and humble myself to His Will. Tears of
unspeakable Joy are shed for this Mission, Maitreya,
(GIWH) and where we are all going. All Glory to God.
He is the Greatest. May humanity see this Vision and be
Glorified in Him.
The
inspiration, hope, and faith soars within as an eagle taking
flight to heaven! Maitreya teaches God is our
strength and He is the doer within us. I truly believe
that nowhere on the face of this earth is there another time
and place where God is praised, honored, given devotion,
love, and service more than at this Mission. This is
God’s Feast.
* * *
I always enjoy
the daily walking, while breathing in the fresh air of Rio
Rancho and feasting my eyes with such magnificent views of
those spacious blue skies that provide a most glorious
backdrop to the purple shades of the Sandia Mountains.
I can see why it has been predicted for the Messiah to
establish Himself there!
Having filled my senses, I retreat back into that inner
stillness where all of my senses are heightened, yet stilled
by a presence of even greater magnitude. The stillness at
the Mission is not comparable to any other I have ever
experienced. A true meditative arena for the thirsty
soul. I only pray that all can experience this
communion with God.
It is especially nice to be able to meet the others from
different parts of the country, and world, and to see the
face behind the familiar voice that we connect with over the
internet, all brothers and sisters in this great plan of
God.
God is indeed, the Greatest.
* * *
What a
wonderful Feast! For me the highlight of the whole
Feast was the two-part lecture given by Maitreya on
the Seventh Seal. That really brought home what a
wonderful Mission God is doing! Thank God for
His Revelation and for His Holy Days!!!
* * *
The Feast is always a time to
reflect, reconnect, and re-establish our faith in God.
It is a time to be with other like-minded people, a time to
meditate, a time to laugh, and a time to share. The
only thing I do not like about the Feast, is that it ends
too soon! I do wish we could live like this all the
time; that is our goal, to create Communities of Light and
the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
* * *
This feast, as
usual, was a really great and Godly feast. We truly
worked together as a community based on God. We had a
lot a fun and learned a lot from giving and hearing the
incredible lectures.
* * *
At the Feast
time I lived a great joy when I met for the first time some
members of the Mission. I knew them by their voices,
through the Internet, but now I can put a face on these
voices. Though we never met before this Feast we spent
a week all together and shared the whole Feast as if we
always knew each other. It was such a
natural relationship. We were One in God so easily
without endeavors. Now all of them have a place in my
heart. One day a lot of people will live this Joy too
in the Communities Of Light.
May these days
come as soon as possible!
* * *
Sal-Om Maitreya-Ji,
We really had a good (God)
Feast. For me, it was the best one ;). I felt so
clean, so purified, and pure! My heart was expanded,
and full of Love for everything and everyone! Love is
really a Divine Grace. May I keep that tremendous
feeling until the next Feast of Tabernacles and forever.
I am so grateful to God to guiding me for all my life to be
here and now in the Mission of Maitreya. It is
actually the best place to be in the whole universe.
May all people understand that pretty soon. Thanks God for
sending Your First Begotten Son to the earth once more and
to have permitted that I found Him and His Teachings. My
only prayer to God is to be kept on the
Eternal Divine Path
and to continue to follow the Path, to sacrifice for that
ideal and to become an Elect and eventually, by His Grace,
to reach my Goal, the Pure Consciousness. And also to
help others to find the Path and to follow it altogether in
the Communities of Light. May His Kingdom come and
humanity live in peace!
In the Love of God,

This year was the first time
I went to the Feast of Tabernacles in the main center of the
Mission of Maitreya.
Great days.
My first intention was to
soak in the Energy of the Source.
And to bring it back overseas
and become more and more a Wearer of the Light as Paravipras
are.
And what happened?
This Feast was the most
opened to the world I lived.
And we met a lot of people
from all over the world through the Internet!
And a lot of Hearts received
the Message at the speed of the Light!
Even ten kilometers upon the
earth, in the airplane I was close to a very beautiful soul.
And we spent almost all our
time in talking about THOTH, Maitreya's
teachings and spiritual practices.
Also I have been impressed
by the complete dedication of the members living in the
mission.
Dedication is not a vain word
in their mouths.
May humanity follow their
example and create a lot of places in the world where people
can grow and progress in Communities Of Light.
And live in God's Peace,
Harmony and Joy.
"Ye
are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hid."
(Matthew 5:14)
<10>But those who
continue their struggle and progress further in the path
to become the light of the world will shine and they
cannot hide it.
"Neither
do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel,
but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all
that are in the house."
(Matthew 5:15)
<11>These people should
accept their responsibilities to humanity and become a
guiding light for them.

I was at home
during the Holy Days this year. Not being physically
present with my "Mission Community" is somewhat different as
when I am with all there Singing the Universal Mantra and
Dancing the Kirtan together. I did miss sharing in the most
delicious, splendid meals that are prepared with such
devotion, care, and joy. There are so many wonderful
functions going on daily during the Feast. The days
are filled with God!
However,
wherever we are during the Holy Days it is a time to think
about God and his creation and celebrate this in heart,
spirit, and mind. And, as Maitreya tells us,
"You are never alone.................." We are always
One in this spirit of unity whether we are present in New
Mexico, or in our own home/centers in the US and other
countries.
And, as our
Teacher tells us, "God is the doer!" And,
THOTH is always nearby on my desk for
reference. The Mission reached out to many "truth
seekers" during these eight days of our Feast of
Tabernacles. Our Prayers are being answered; to reach
as many people as possible and to tell them about The
Greatest Sign; the greatest teaching on earth! This
was the Feast for reaching out!
The Christ has
returned and is here guiding humanity into the Golden Age!
In Faith,
