Homage to a Guru of the Universal Great BrotherhoodGuru Jose Manuel Estrada was a very charming man who used every opportunity that he had to give a clear teaching to his friends and followers, with the purpose of carrying on the tradition and teachings of his Spiritual Master Dr Serge Raynaud de la Ferriere. Many asked him about his unusual clothing, his hair, his beard. His response was: "These are the clothes of an Initiate within the Sacred Tradition, clothes which enfold a profound symbolism, and should be lived." Guru Jose Manuel Estrada provided us with teachings not so that we could admire him, or worship him as others have done with other Gurus, but in order to provide a continuity of the wisdom and teachings that Master Serge Raynaud de la Ferriere brought us which originated from millenia ago. He encouraged us to follow his example and his work. Guru Estrada was one of the original four disciples of Master Serge. Each of these disciples projected their teachings and Mission according to their personality and characteristics. Guru Estrada taught his followers to love, respect and understand the teachings of each of these Sat Arhats, as well as to all members of society. During our first steps of Initiation within he Institute, The Yami School (neophytes), and the pre-initiatic schools, Guru Estrada encouraged us to eliminate any mistaken ideas contrary to the message of unity and love which should always prevail within the Universal Great Brotherhood (a brotherhood which encompasses all of humanity). The Guru would say: "it is the fault of the intellectuals that the world is in the state that it is in because they never get to the point, they only play with ideas. They adorn words which is not wrong, as long as they act on their beliefs because the world is tired of theories." Guru Estrada had no favorites within the Institute however he was pleased by disciples capable of continuing the ancient teachings from millenia ago, since these teachings contribute to the development of awareness within people. In slide number five we can see the Master giving Mario Riveras of the Universal Great Brotherhood the highest grade within the Shaolin (Chinese Martial Arts) tradition. The Universal Great Brotherhood encompasses all traditions, philosophies, spiritualities, religions, & paths, with the purpose of the perfectionment of the individual. The words of a true Master can be as great and as imposing as that of a mountain, and it can also be as lasting. Long after the Great Initiates and Masters are gone, their words remain through the mouth to ear unwritten tradition, since words that are written can always be destroyed or changed by many means. If we can remember that the universe is curved then the words that are pronounced will always return. Words can be erased, but will always have been read by disicples who will never forget it, write it, teach it and share it. In this way the Great Guru Jose Manuel Estrada will continue to influence our hearts and our minds The power point is by Leonardo Phillips, presentation: Mario Botello, English description Evelyn Frances.
