History
In the Ascended Master Teachings Morya is considered one of the "Ascended Masters," also known as the "Chohan of the First Ray" (see Seven Rays). H. P. Blavatsky originated the belief, professing that Morya and Master Koot Hoomi were her guides in establishing the Theosophical Society. Blavatsky also wrote that Masters Morya and Koot Hoomi belonged to a group of highly developed humans known as the Great White Brotherhood. Although Master Morya's personality has been depicted in some detail by various theosophical authors, critics point out that there is little evidence that Blavatsky's Masters, including Morya, ever existed.[1] Author K. Paul Johnson wrote that Blavatsky gave conflicting versions of her meeting with Morya and suggests Blavatsky fictionalized the story, basing it on her encounter with an Italian political activist.[2][3] Author Paul Zweig writing in the New York Times characterized Blavatsky's claims as fraudulent, saying they were invented "out of whole cloth."After Blavatsky's death, theosophists and others continued claiming to have met Morya or to have received communications from him. William Quan Judge, the leader of the American Section of the Theosophical Society, stated privately that he had received letters from Morya and other Adepts. Annie Besant, head of the European Section and co-head of the Esoteric Section with Judge, made public statements supporting the genuineness of those letters; but she later accused Judge of falsifying them, asserting that her suspicions of him were confirmed by the visitation of a Mahatma, presumably Master Morya, to whom she was linked.[4] The ensuing controversy led to the break-up of the Society in 1895, but leaders in the increasingly fragmented movement continued making claims about having received communications and visitations from the Masters connected with the cause. Theosophical writings offered vivid descriptions of Morya, his role in the Brotherhood, and his past lives. [5]
Incarnations
Morya's earliest notable claimed incarnation is recorded by Annie Besant and C.W. Leadbeater (from, the source states, their research into the "akashic records" at the Theosophical Society headquarters in Adyar (Tamil Nadu), India conducted in the summer of 1910) as having been the Emperor of Atlantis in 220,000 BC, ruling from his palace in the capital city, the City of the Golden Gates.[6]According the Ascended Masters teachings, some of the later incarnations that Morya is said to have had include:[7][8]
- Melchior (one of the three wise men--the one who gave myrrh to Jesus)
- King Arthur of Camelot
- Thomas Becket (Archbishop of Canterbury)
- Thomas More
- Akbar (Mogul Emperor)
- Shams Tabrizi
Ascension
Students of Ascended Master Activities believe that Morya ascended in 1898, becoming an Ascended Master and Chohan of the First Ray, and that his spiritual retreat is located at Darjeeling, India.[9][10][11]References

end quote from wikipedia:
My own experience with El Morya became enhanced when I attended The Archangel Gabriel's and Hope's quarter at Summit University when it was located in Pasadena at the College of the Nazarene there. Because he founded the Summit Lighthouse through Mark Prophet and then his wife Elizabeth Clare Prophet, by the time I went there in fall 1977 I was able to meet Elizabeth Clare Prophet and so did my mother and father at that time. So, El Morya was a part of this teaching then. However, then I separated form the Summit Staff by Spring 1978 but still attended conferences at times into the 1980s, and was especially amazed at the Saint Germain Conference in the early 1980s when violet lightning and purple rain came down directly caused by the dynamic prayers of that Conference.
El Morya has once again revealed himself to me and I have been finding Ganesha statues recently too. So, it is also interesting learning about
Morya Gosavi today. I'm not sure what the connection is entirely at this point. Maybe something will be revealed in the future.
My recent experiences with El Morya:
Recently, I became reacquainted with Morya. Since I grew up with just calling him that when I converse with him this is how I refer to him. Just like when I'm communicating with Arcane I call him Arcane or when I communicate with Saint Germain I call him Saint Germain or when I'm communicating with Jesus I call him Jesus etc.
When I left the Summit Lighthouse staff in Spring 1978 I was sort of confused at why I wasn't being led by God to be a part of one religion or another. I had felt sort of lonely since I had to leave the Saint Germain Foundation that my parents belonged to because I was too 1960s for them and too progressive in my thinking especially around social changes during the worldwide Social Revolution here on Earth at that time.
So, when I also was leaving the Summit it was confusing to me and I sort of at that time gave up the idea of belonging formally to any church anymore. I usually wound up in any church as part of the staff or leadership because of my nature. But having got there I always found hypocrisy which is in the heart of any church and I always became upset by this hypocrisy within all churches. It is basically the adage,"Do as I say not as I actually do." And since I'm no fool I had to go my own way eventually always.
So, I learned that becoming an adept and gathering spiritual knowledge regarding what was necessary for the enlightenment of all mankind became my quest. And I found I had to discard the hypocrisy of all churches to be successful in my quest. So, my quest was always the truth so the most people could live good, true, and successful lives while not killing themselves or others and learning compassion for all life in the universe.
This is not an easy task no matter where you start in your life. Because there are so very many confused in various ways kinds of people in the world. And even though most of them are sincere in what they are doing one has to learn how to filter whatever they are saying. And this becomes more important every day of your life. Eventually, I learned the most powerful and universal path was a path of compassion. Though worshipping truth is important the problem with truth is that it kills as often as it saves people. So, observing truth as a two edged sword and learning to respect the truth but also seeing how it often kills people is something to meditate and contemplate in all our lives.
So, in my late 20s I began to practice compassion more and more because I began to see just how practical and useful compassion is both towards myself and towards all beings. This led me to eventually Tibetan Buddhism which was a good fit for me in my onward spiritual path. I'm one of the 25% of Tibetan Buddhists who also believes in God who is also a mystical Christian simultaneously. I find no conflict here at all because to westerners Buddhism is a philosophy rather than a religion. But, to me personally, Christianity and Buddhism are connected by compassion and forgiveness which are two of the most powerful concepts ever thought up.
Morya showed up recently because I was describing the Summit Lighthouse to someone who hadn't heard of it before. As I explained about Mark Prophet and Morya coming to him to tell him to start this new religion I realized I hadn't been talking to Morya like I used to and I felt ashamed. I contacted Morya and said,"Morya. When I left the Summit I haven't been talking to you as much and I feel ashamed." He said, "Don't worry about it! Everything in it's perfect timing!" I spoke to him about how I had stayed in contact with Archangel Michael who is also Blue Ray like Morya and he seemed to think everything was perfectly okay. There is a hierarchy of masters like Jesus and Saint Germain and Morya and Dwalkhul and others that are all Chohans of the various rays of light.
For example, Morya is the Chohan of the Blue Ray and Saint Germain is the Chohan of the Violet Ray etc. And each ray has it's purpose.
In the Summit Elizabeth Clare Prophet taught that the Blue ray is the first ray to establish a new order. So, her point of view was that Morya was the Chohan of the Blue Ray bringing in the first ray of the Aquarian Age was is beginning. For example, Jesus was the emissary of the Piscean age. Even the little fish that people use to represent Jesus on the backs of some cars are a representation of Pisces the Fish.
So, my relationship with Morya is back in full and I'm seeing Ganeshas more and more and that is kind of interesting and also my wife bought me a picture of Morya because I haven't had one for awhile on my altar or wall in my bedroom. I have always had a picture of Saint Germain and Jesus on the altar or wall of my bedroom since I was born because it changes the field of energy 24 hours a day and keeps it clear from all negativity.
Morya wishes to thank me for writing about him and mentioning about him to you.
