The Story of El Morya

In his final embodiment in the 19th century, El Morya was born El Morya Khan, a Rajput prince in India. He later became a monk and frequented the spiritual retreats of the Himalayas. Known as Mahatma Morya, Master M., and the Master of Darjeeling, he worked closely with the masters Koot Hoomi and Djwal Kul in The Great White Brotherhood to bring the ancient wisdom of the East to the Western world.The Great White Brotherhood (also called the Great White Lodge or Ascended Masters) is a concept in Theosophy occultism, and New Age belief systems. 

• The Core Belief: Adherents believe in a supreme hierarchy of perfected, spiritual beings ("Ascended Masters") who guide human evolution and pass down hidden spiritual teachings. 

• 
  

• Meaning of "White": The word "white" does not refer to race; instead, it represents the spiritual aura of pure white light, divine wisdom, or "white magic". 

• 
  

• Notable Figures Associated: Believers often list historical and religious figures among the masters or guiding forces, including Jesus Christ, Gautama Buddha, Moses, Saint Germain, and Mother Mary. 

• 
  

• Historical Origins in the West: The concept was popularized in the late 19th century by Helena Petrovna Blavastky and the Theosophical Society, who claimed they received telepathic or psychic messages from these hidden adepts. Later esoteric groups, Alice Bailey, the I AM Activity, and the Church Universal and Triumphant expanded on the idea.

In 1875, El Morya and other masters sponsored the founding of the Theosophical Society through Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Henry Steel Olcott, and their associates. El Morya directed Blavatsky to teach Western seekers about karma, reincarnation, spiritual evolution, and the universal truths underlying the world's religions. El Morya also corresponded with other Theosophists, and some of these communications were preserved in The Mahatma Letters.

In 1898, El Morya ascended, but his work was far from finished. His mission to bring the ancient wisdom of the masters to the Western world would continue through another messenger in the twentieth century.

Decades later, the ascended master El Morya appeared to a young Mark L. Prophet. When Mark encountered the turbaned Eastern master, he could not reconcile this unfamiliar figure with his Christian faith and asked him to leave. Years later, Mark came to understand that the path of the ascended masters was also the path taught by Jesus. El Morya returned, and Mark accepted him as his guru, beginning a demanding course of spiritual training and discipleship.

In 1952, Mark began publishing the Ashram Notes, teachings dictated by El Morya from his etheric retreat in Darjeeling, India. In 1958, El Morya sent Mark to Washington, D.C., to establish The Summit Lighthouse. On August 8 of that year, El Morya dictated the first Pearl of Wisdom, beginning a series of weekly teachings that continues today.

In 1961, El Morya guided Elizabeth Clare Wulf to Mark Prophet, who began training her as a Messenger alongside Mark. Elizabeth received the mantle of Messenger in 1964, ensuring that the work would continue following Mark's ascension in 1973.

Today, El Morya serves as Chohan of the First Ray of God's Will and continues to guide chelas in developing courage, faith, self-mastery, and obedience to God's will. His work through Blavatsky, Mark Prophet, and Elizabeth Clare Prophet reflects a continuing mission to awaken souls to their divine potential and establish God's will on earth.
