Full Moon 2008

To whose temple the Arch is starlit,

In whose temple the Sun is the image of gold,
To whose temple the Moon goes every month
And brings the message out every full-moon,
And whose message the Moon sings as a word of sixteen letters,
His religion I belong to, His temple I visit,
His name I utter, His glory I live in.
To Him I offer the lotus of my day,
To Him I offer the lotus of my night.

These seed thoughts from the Spiritual Psychology meditations of Dr. Ekkirala Krishnamacharya give the
note for the Lunar Messenger of the Circle of Good Will. The moon is the reflective principle and symbol
of the mind. When pure and calm, it reflects impressions from higher circles. Especially the time of the
full moon is conducive for higher alignment, if we are poised enough. The alignment of the sun, moon
and earth in the sky helps experiencing the magic of the light of the soul and its manifestation down to
the physical.
The Lunar Messenger is published every month in time for the full moon. It contains thoughts from the
teachings of eternal wisdom. Its purpose is to inspire us to put them into practical life.
