Hi,
If you recall history, Sudar Singh translated during the year 1947.
Paul Twitchell became the L.E.M. 1965. If memory serves the first
seminar was in '66. However, Darji did not have a successor, nor was
there any confirmation or formal ceremony. Just as the path was in
limbo during the "masterless" (no L.E.M.) years so too is the path
experiencing history again. Who knows when Darji's successor will
appear ?
As with the tradition of the Boucharan Masters Darji had chelas to
formally continue their unfoldment with him after he translates. This
formality took place during a dream journey for those chelas whom were
still interested with Dap Ren's guidance and influence while the
chelas continue to spiritually unfold. This time honored traditon
applies only to the chelas whom the Master initiated during his
tenure. If any chela chooses not to continue then the dream journey
shall not happen, but being what ASU (ECK) is then the chela would be
there for the initiates' to register with the list of names. Paul
Twitchell spoke of this tradition long ago, and I have an old
discourse that has this information. The chela continues with Dap Ren
if the chela so chooses. As a side note I have an old discourse that
declares there "shall be no mighty temple of Eck". Also Paul wrote
thet Eckankar would never become a religion. To what extent and how
much did Harji break from truth within the teachings one may never
know, but Paulji did talk and write about the L.E.M.'s commission.
Just like tha Abbot of a monestary traditons were never to be changed
nor the teachings less than accurate and pure. The Masters are
anything but supportive of religion and political correctness they do
not do. For such attributes are of the social conscousness. There is a
general understanding among the Masters that he who desires to be the
L.A.M. or in the early days the L.E.M., then that person is unworthy.
I wonder why this is so ? But Mr.Marche claims such title too, some
other fellow claims he has been a Living Master since 1988 I think,
but received the rod of power I think around 1996 or '97. I lost
connection to his website long ago, yet believe him to be a fraud as
well. Supposedly he finished writting the rest of the Shariyat
volumnes up to 14 I think. I visited his websit for a day or so then
left. Maybe someday Darji's successor will appear.
Bye
