Boston

The Master left New Haven by car and arrived in Boston on 12^th October at 8 p.m. and blessed the city and the people with His unending Love.

During His three days here, He stayed irk Brookline at the home of His Representative, Mrs Mildred Prendergast. Morning meditations were held at the Beacon Street Motor Hotel, just a few minutes’ walk away. The afternoon heart to heart talks were given in the Brookline Motor Hotel, just across the street.

The evening public talks were given at Lowell Lecture Hall, Harvard University, Cambridge, and were very well attended.

A child care centre was set up and worked beautifully, much to the great appreciation of the parents. It was located in the Brookline Motor Hotel, and the mothers were on a rotating schedule for the care of their children. Thus, the children were well taken care of during the Master’s talks and were gathered in one place for the blessings of the Master.

Master spoke, as He had so often elsewhere, of the main purpose of life being to know yourself, and of how it can be done: through meditation, rising above body consciousness, and self-introspection, with the help of a Living Master. He encouraged the dear ones to ‘hurry up!’ saying:

Your breaths are numbered: wrong use of your breath will shorten your life. Whatever you pray from your heart, think in your brain, and speak through the mouth is a True Prayer and will be granted by the Grace of God. Pray, ‘I want nothing of this world or the world hereafter, just lead me to the Word made flesh so that He may make me such as He.’ Pray, ‘Let me become the humble slave of Your servant till my last breath is taken.’ This is the prayer of the truly devoted.

On 14^th October the Master was interviewed by Jay Richard Turner of the Siddhartha Foundation, Waltham, Mass., for a program called ‘On the Path to Higher Consciousness’ over Radio Station WBUR. This was an in-depth interview, with the Master giving a very detailed exposition of the Inner Science, and closing with meditation instructions at the interviewer’s request. Other persons who came to see the Master included Dr Michio Kushi, well known macrobiotic teacher; the Editor of East-West magazine; and the Baron Frary von Blomberg, Co-President of the World Fellowship of Religions, who discussed many topics with Him and sought His guidance.

On Sunday morning, 15^th October, the Master gave Naam to 63 blessed souls at the Brookline Motor Hotel. What a blessing for Boston!
