The Ascended Master El Morya
Founder of the Summit Lighthouse


El Morya is Chohan of the First Ray, the blue ray, of power, goodwill and faith. He also exemplifies the blue-ray qualities of leadership, proper use of power and speech, and ultimate surrender to the divine will. He can assist all students who desire to embody these virtues, master the throat chakra and receive the Holy Spirit’s gifts of the word of wisdom and faith in the divine will.

El Morya is well known as the Master M who worked with the Master Koot Hoomi in the late nineteenth century to establish the Theosophical Society and to spread the knowledge of higher truths to a wider circle among mankind. After his ascension in the late 1800s, he continued working for this same purpose, most notably through Nicholas and Helena Roerich in the early 1900s and recently through The Summit Lighthouse and Mark and Elizabeth Prophet beginning in the late 1950s.

Some of El Morya’s most important teachings concern the will of God, the divine will that lies within each of us. He explains that by aligning with and embracing this will one gradually becomes reunited with his own Higher Self. Following the divine will also leads to outpicturing the inner blueprint of the soul and to fulfilling one’s unique mission in life. El Morya and the blue-ray masters always teach that if the student’s will is one with the will of God, he will succeed.

El Morya’s etheric retreat is located over Darjeeling, India.

The Ascended Master El Morya Khan is the Lord (Chohan) of the First Ray of God's Will and Chief of the Darjeeling Council of the Great White Brotherhood. He is the founder of The Summit Lighthouse and teacher and sponsor of the Messengers Mark L. Prophet and Elizabeth Clare Prophet. The Master's extraordinary devotion to God's word and work is a powerful stream that runs throughout his soul's incarnations on earth as he has stood staunch in the role of advocate, teacher, and exemplar before our spirits soaring unto Love.

El Morya was embodied as Abraham, the ancient patriarch who emerged from Ur of the Chaldees to become the prototype and progenitor of the twelve tribes of Israel.

Returning as Melchior, one of the three wise men of the East, he followed the star that portended the birth of the best of his seed who would fulfill all the promises of God unto his spiritual descendants.

As Arthur, king of the Britons, he summoned knights of the Round Table and ladies of the court of Camelot to quest the Holy Grail and to attain through initiation the inner mysteries of Christ.

Appearing again on Britain's soil as Thomas Becket as well as Thomas More, both martyred, he twice played the role of defender of the Faith and challenger of King Henry--also twice born (Henry II and VIII), and twice the oppressor.

In the sixteenth century, his soul's journey took him to the East in the person of Akbar, greatest of Mogul emperors, and in the nineteenth to Ireland to be her poet laureate Thomas Moore.

Next he appeared as El Morya Khan, perhaps the most renowned of the Tibetan mahatmas. Paradoxically, little biographical information of a traditional nature is available about El Morya Khan. It is known that he was born a Rajput prince in the Indian class of warriors and rulers esteemed for their courage and honor. The date of his birth is uncertain.

What makes the life of El Morya so notable is his far-reaching work in the merging of the ancient spiritual truths of the East with the traditions of the West. This was accomplished largely through the founding of the Theosophical Society in the latterpart of the nineteenth century and the subsequent instruction released through that organization by the Master Morya and his longtime friend, the Master Koot Hoomi Lal Singh. This instruction came in part in the form of personal letters addressed to but a handful of Theosophical students, chelas of the "Mahatma of the Himavat." These letters are now on file with the British Museum in London.

Found also within the society's literature are occasional awe-filled testimonies of the few Theosophists that were visited by this Himalayan adept who, for the most part, preferred to remain unidentified by the outer world. The writings of these disciples reveal that many strove for even the slightest contact with El Morya.

In 1898, El Morya Khan ascended to the heart of God.

During the 1920s and 1930s the Ascended Master El Morya worked with Nicholas and Helena Roerich, who set forth his writings in numerous published works. In 1958 he called Mark L. Prophet to disseminate the Teachings of the Ascended Masters asPearls of Wisdom, published by the newly founded Summit Lighthouse.

With Saint Germain and Mother Mary, he also trained Elizabeth Clare Prophet as his Messenger. Through the embodied Messenger he delivers the Teachings of the Universal Christ for the Aquarian age and conducts retreats on practical spiritual techniques for meeting the personal and planetary challenges posed by the prophecies of Saint John's Revelation.

The precious instruction of the Master Morya is available through his Messengers Mark and Elizabeth Prophet to all who will to be his students. In his book The Chela and the Path, the Master clearly points the way for all who aspire to a higher level of consciousness. With definitions, explanations, and meditations that the earnest seeker of truth can ill afford to be without, The Chela and the Path is personal instruction from the heart and mind of Morya to you.

El Morya's musical keynote, capturing the frequencies of his Electronic Presence, was set forth in part by Sir Edward Elgar in his "Pomp and Circumstance."
