Introduction
Jesus lived in India for extended periods on two occasions, once before and again after his reported early death. Kaleshwar was his friend during that life and also Mother Mary’s teacher for a time. As such, he witnessed the crucifixion and helped Mary heal her son’s broken body by yogic means. Later, he would return to illuminate the circumstances of Jesus’s ‘successful failure’ and provide new impetus for fulfilment of its mission at the end of our Kali Yuga.
Dear All,
Most of you won’t have heard from me in over ten years. During that time I have been engaged in largely solitary work of research, writing and meditation that is only now coming to fruition. This talk will be the first public sharing of what I have learned. It comes at a time of great transition: from West to East, certainty to doubt, Pisces to Aquarius and Kali Yuga to indefinite peril. It also arises in a ‘2012’ window that is still open, during which ancient spiritual cultures have felt moved to share their treasures with a modern world that has largely disdained and exploited them. This points to a great remembering that is trying to happen despite seemingly fathomless depths of greed, violence and separation that afflict us collectively. I began developing a frame to promote such remembering in 2011. My attempt appeared to fail in 2021 only to be revived within days by miraculous exposure to the work of a great Indian saint (Sri Kaleshwar, 1973-2012). It has taken me over four years to become clear enough regarding this material to share what has been the most important learning of my life in terms of the spiritual access it allows and hope of civilizational renewal it engenders. This follows from Kaleshwar’s reintroduction of the Sacred Feminine (below). It is advisable to read all the pieces cited here ahead of the Kaleshwar volume that will soon be available under ‘Books’…
I first connected with Sri Kaleshwar in October 2021 by magical means. He was singing the Maheshvari prayer, about which I knew nothing. Days before, after ten years and five volumes, my writing had hit a wall. I knew the problem was inadequate representation of the Sacred Feminine and had hoped that Grail inspiration would see me through. It didn’t. Now, as I heard Kaleshwar’s voice, my Heart cracked open. I learned about his reintroduction of Divine Mother teachings and knew that I had found my Way again. He even sent dreams to illuminate it and has lived in my Heart ever since. A first dream directed me to learn basic Five Elements and Holy Womb systems from his teachings. The last directed me to introduce Maha Kali, Mother’s most radical and terrifying form, to intellectual audiences that might not otherwise take notice. This was compatible with my original plan to clarify foundations for a universal spirituality, only now it involved drawing on what turns out to be our oldest fully spiritual tradition. Well into a fourth year and final stage of this process I realise how nuanced it has been, how little it has been of my own design and how provisional the outcomes presented here still seem…
