The Wesak Festival has been held down
the centuries in the well-known valley in the Himalayas […] in order:
- To substantiate the fact of Christ's physical existence among us ever since His so-called departure.
- To prove (on the physical plane) the factual solidarity of the Eastern and Western approaches to God. Both the Christ and the Buddha are present.
- To form a rallying-point and a meeting-place for those who annually—in synthesis and symbolically—link up and represent the Father's House, the Kingdom of God and Humanity. [Page 46]
- To demonstrate the nature of the work of Christ as the great and chosen Intermediary, standing as the Representative of the Spiritual Hierarchy and as the Leader of the New Group of World Servers. In His Person, He voices their demand for the recognition of the factual existence of the Kingdom of God here and now.
Perhaps one of the major messages for
all of us who read these words is this great truth and fact of the physical
Presence on Earth at this time of the Christ, of His group of disciples and
executives, of Their representative activities on behalf of mankind and of
Their close relationship. This relationship comes out at certain of the great
spiritual festivals where the relationship demonstrated includes not only the
Kingdom of God but also the Father and the Father's Home. There is the Festival
of Easter, the Festival of the Buddha Who in physical Presence expresses the
spiritual solidarity of our planet, and the Festival in June, peculiarly the
Festival of the Christ, when He—as leader of the New Group of World
Servers—employs the new Invocation on behalf of all men of goodwill in all
lands; at the same time, He gathers up the inchoate and unexpressed demands of
those masses who seek a new and better way of life. They want love in daily
living, right human relations and an understanding of the underlying Plan.
(Alice Bailey, The Reappearance of the
Christ)
