Who is the Maha Chohan?

The Maha Chohan is the representative of the Holy Spirit, and is an office in hierarchy of the Holy Spirit of the Father/Mother God.

The current holder of this office was embodied as poet Homer, who wrote the Illiad and the Odyssey. He earned this office by holding the comfort flame on earth for millions of lifestreams and for elemental life. By consecrating his four lower bodies as a chalice for the flame of the Holy Spirit, he was able to step-down the Light of the cosmic beings, and most particularly, Sanat Kumara, the Ancient of Days.

Maha Chohan means "Great Lord", and directs the seven chohans of the rays. Adeptship on each of the seven rays is a qualification for holding this office. The Maha Chohan initiates our souls in preparation to receive the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit.

The Power of God is in the Holy Spirit.   It is by this Power that God created the universe and everything in it. The angel Gabriel told the virgin Mary, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.  So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God” (Luke 3:35).

An Affirmation taught by the Maha Chohan to say often:

"Come Holy Spirit, Enlighten me!"

Pentecost

Pentecost is derived from the Greek pentekost, meaning fiftieth.  It is commemorative of  the descent of the Holy Ghost on the apostles.  It is fifty days after Easter and ten days after Christ's ascension.  The Jews also celebrated fifty days after passover in a feast called Pentecost.  The Christians adopted the name from the Jewish festival.

The coming of the Holy Ghost was foretold by several of Christ's predecessors including John the Baptist and John the Beloved.  It was a day of great conversion, speaking in tongues, and baptism.  From this day, the early church grew from a band of unsure devotees to an evangelical movement of tremendous stature.

The full story of the day of Pentecost is recorded in Acts 2:1-4. 

1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Novenas to the Holy Spirit

The Novena* of the Holy Spirit is the chief of all novenas because it was the first that was ever celebrated, and that by the Apostles and Mary in the upper room, and was distinguished by so many remarkable wonders and gifts.

*A novena is a nine day prayer for intentions.

Novena Of  The Holy Spirit
by St. Benedicta of the Cross

Who are you, sweet light, that fills me
And illumines the darkness of my heart?
You lead me like a mother's hand,
And should you let go of me, 
I would not know how to take another step.
You are the space
That embraces my being and buries it in yourself.
Away from you it sinks into the abyss
Of nothingness, from which you raised it to the light.
You, nearer to me than I to myself
And more interior than my most interior
And still impalpable and intangible
And beyond any name:
Holy Spirit eternal love!

Are you not the sweet manna
That from the Son's heart
Overflows into my heart,
The food of angels and the blessed?
He who raised himself from death to life,
He has also awakened me to new life
From the sleep of death. 
And he gives me new life from day to day,
And at some time his fullness is to stream through me,
Life of your life indeed, you yourself:
Holy Spirit eternal life!Are you the ray
That flashes down from the eternal Judge's throne
And breaks into the night of the soul
That had never known itself?
Mercifully relentlessly
It penetrates hidden folds.
Alarmed at seeing itself,
The self makes space for holy fear,
The beginning of that wisdom
That comes from on high
And anchors us firmly in the heights,
Your action,
That creates us anew:
Holy Spirit ray that penetrates everything! 

Are you the spirit's fullness and the power
By which the Lamb releases the seal
Of God's eternal decree?
Driven by you
The messengers of judgment ride through the world
And separate with a sharp sword
The kingdom of light from the kingdom of night.
Then heaven becomes new and new the earth,
And all finds its proper place
Through your breath:
Holy Spirit victorious power! 

Are you the master who builds the eternal cathedral,
Which towers from the earth through the heavens?
Animated by you, the columns are raised high
And stand immovably firm.
Marked with the eternal name of God,
They stretch up to the light,
Bearing the dome,
Which crowns the holy cathedral,
Your work that encircles the world:
Holy Spirit God's molding hand! 

Are you the one who created the unclouded mirror
Next to the Almighty's throne,
Like a crystal sea,
In which Divinity lovingly looks at itself?
You bend over the fairest work of your creation,
And radiantly your own gaze
Is illumined in return.
And of all creatures the pure beauty
Is joined in one in the dear form
Of the Virgin, your immaculate bride:
Holy Spirit Creator of all! 

Are you the sweet song of love
And of holy awe
That eternally resounds around the triune throne,
That weds in itself the clear chimes of each and every being?
The harmony,
That joins together the members to the Head,
In which each one
Finds the mysterious meaning of his being blessed
And joyously surges forth,
Freely dissolved in your surging:
Holy Spirit eternal jubilation!
