THE ASALA FESTIVAL

Once each year, at the time of Full Moon, in the month of July, in honor of Beloved Gautama, Lord Divino recites Beloved Gautama's sermon which he gave regarding his revelation of Truth to the world after his Ascension. 

Lord Divino, the present Buddha, gathers together those disciples and chelas who wish to be a part of the magnetizing of Gautama's Love during this ceremony, which takes place on the southern slopes of the Himalayas, in the lovely private gardens of Beloved Divino, at a Focus which he maintains in that vicinity.

Here there is delivered again the very first sermon which Beloved Gautama gave and Lord Divino adds to it a simple address of his own, developing the Truths within the revelation of the former Buddha to fit the needs and requirements of the current hour. This is given in the original Pali language but, as in the Christian Pentecostal miracle, everyone present hears him in his own native tongue. 

The radiation and blessings drawn from this outpouring from Lord Divino, coupled with that of the Lord of the World, Gautama, commences twenty-four hours before the actual ceremony takes place and continues for twenty-four hours afterward. It is wise, therefore, to put oneself in spiritual rapport with this ceremony by keeping the attention as much as possible upon the Beloved Divino all during the forty-eight hours concerned with this ceremony. Adding, of course, your deep Love and Gratitude to the mighty Gautama for his sustaining Love and Light!
