Sal-Om,
May I say thanks God again for the most
wonderful Feast of Tabernacles 2010 shared
at the center with all of you.
I am so humbly grateful for the
experience and opportunity to be a part of
the activities from the Center.
Again, I give thanks to God for The
Mission of Maitreya and the
true love it emanates.
Thankfully and humbly, love to ALL.
Sal-Om,

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 - its 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!
Sal-Om,

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 people; 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.
(THOTH - Commentaries on
St. Matthew - Tablet Seven)

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,
See you All next year
Sal-Om

Divinity within you)
