| “It is our understanding that the earlier books were given telepathically to Helena Roerich by Master Morya and Master Koot Hoomi, and in one instance by Maitreya Himself, to galvanize and inspire the world’s disciples in the face of the impending war. These new VOLUMES, though apparently also written in the 1930s, have a much more conversational tone than the ones published at that time. “(1) What is the purpose and authorship of the ‘Supermundane’ books and (2) why have they been released only at this time?” (Oct 1996)† [Mr. Creme]: “(1) They were given mainly (although not exclusively) by the Master Koot Hoomi. Their purpose is the same as the other books of the series — enlightenment. “(2) It was not the Hierarchical intention that their publication should be held back until now. That is a decision of the Agni Yoga Society.” |
| b.) “If Helena Roerich received the Agni Yoga teachings from the Master Morya primarily for the purpose of informing the world of the fact of the Hierarchy, will she be in incarnation at the time of the Reappearance of the Christ to further help with the externalization of the Hierarchy?” (Nov. 1990)* [Mr. Creme]: “I am afraid there are a number of MISCONCEPTIONS revealed in this question. Firstly, while the Master Morya gave the majority of the teachings, other Masters, in particular the Master Koot Hoomi, also contributed, while the first book, The Call, is by Maitreya Himself. ..” c.) “The Agni Yoga Society recently released two new VOLUMES, Supermundane, the Inner Life, Volume One and Volume Two. These books are quite different in tone from the earlier series of Agni Yoga books, released between 1924 and 1937. |
