It gave the opportunity to bring down higher energies to the Earth, to transform gross matter of the physical world making it more subtle and raising its energy potential. It was a cosmic experiment necessary for preparation of the new evolution step. In hard conditions of the physical world, the Cosmic Hierarchs were forming the fiery energy of Helena Roerich. The Mahatmas called her “The Mother of Agni-Yoga”, but not only for her cooperation in creating the books of the Living Ethics. But at the same time, she was an outstanding philosopher and co-worker with the Higher Powers – that’s how elevated was her spiritual talent. She was a highly-educated person, a writer, and a public figure while remaining a loving wife and a caring mother. In this amazing Russian woman, the heavenly and the earthly merged in great harmony. In one of the museum expositions in the IRMT, you can see the reproductions of the graphic drawings by Helena Roerich from the funds of the International Centre of the Roerichs (Moscow), witnessing the conscious contact of Helena with the worlds of higher matter. Helena made the writings and Nicholas embodied those ideas and images in his beautiful paintings, calling them “the artistic commentaries” to the Living Ethics. She compiled and systematized them to reveal the Higher Worlds, the Cosmic Hierarchs, and the Cosmic Laws to the people. The Teachers’ messages came to her not only in words but in mental images. The work at the Teaching of the Living Ethics required great efforts from Helena Roerich. And the Cosmos, in its turn, is a spiritualised system where the Spirit presents one of the Nature powers. The man is compiled of those three worlds. According to the Living Ethics, besides our gross physical world there is the Subtle World, and then the Fiery World, the world of the radiant matter. The books spoke about the cosmic evolution of man and its details, about the existence of the worlds of other types of matter and other types of energies, other dimensions. In a small study on the first floor of the house, Helena Roerich worked on the books of the Living Ethics, or Agni-yoga – the philosophy of 'Cosmic Reality', which is very closely connected with the ideas of ancient India. The co-work with the Great Masters started in 1920 in London and continued here, in the Kullu valley. Their call was calm, persuasive, and full of wisdom.” (1) They brought true creativity, spiritual joy and meaningful silence into the chaos of our lives. In 1926 in one of his letters, he wrote: “I make a deep bow to Indian Teachers. The signs, indicating the Higher Presence, slight touches, some words breaking through the Cosmos – all these were defined by the artist in one word as “the Call”. The spiritual association of Helena and Nicholas Roerich with the Teachers started a long time ago before the real encounter. They are the personalities, who, according to Svetoslav Roerich, “have already passed through the great and majestic path of self-liberation”, 'Higher Beings' standing on the higher steps of cosmic evolution. They were installed under the branchy deodar opposite an old house which in the 20th century became known as “ karma bhumi” for the Roerichs - the field for creative and spiritual fulfilments.Īs we know, the Roerichs managed to penetrate into the depth of Indian spiritual life and become co-workers with the Spiritual Teachers, Sages, Mahatmas – the titles they are given in the East. In October 2019, on Nicholas Roerich’s birthday, monuments of the great Russian artist, scientist and thinker and his wife Helena Roerich were installed in the International Roerich Memorial Trust in Naggar, Himachal Pradesh.
