MASTER MORYA'S PORTRAITS PAINTED BY GREV KAFI

 

Grev Kafi is the pseudonym of a couple of Russian painters (Gregory Kabachny and Evdokia Fideliskaya) who are great followers of the Roerichs and to honor Master Morya they painted the following paintings:

 

 

 

FIRST PAINT

 

 

In this painting they put the portrait of the master Morya inside a frame in the style of the Catholic Orthodox Church and with Russian words.

 

Several Masters surround Morya, on the right stands Buddha and on the left stands Jesus. I do not recognize the other Masters, although the face above Buddha could represent Zoroaster, and the face at the top right could represent Quetzalcoatl.

 

Above Morya is the sacred Sanskrit word OM which in Theosophy represents the  LOGOS.

 

In the lower right corner they put an adaptation of the peace symbol made by Nicholas Roerich and which consists of three spheres placed in the form of a triangle within a circle, but they added the letter M (Morya's initial) in the center.

 

In the lower left corner there are two Sanskrit words that mean "Maitreya Sangha" inside a little square that is used as a seal for the Agni Yoga teachings.

 

And down in the middle they wrote in Russian:

 

Mahatma Morya

Lord of Shambhala

 

Which is very pretentious and incorrect because although Morya is a member of the trans-Himalayan Brotherhood of Masters which headquarters is in Shambhala, but Shambhala is in the Gobi desert while Morya mainly worked in the Tibetan mountain range.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SECOND PAINT

 

 

 

 

In this painting they put Master Morya standing, his right hand holds the hilt of a great sword of medieval type, and his left hand holds the chintamani stone that in the Buddhist and Hindu traditions is a mythical stone which allows granting wishes to whoever possesses it and who was much mentioned by Nicholas Roerich.

 

Down in the left corner they put the peace symbol made by Nicholas Roerich.

 

Down in the right corner they put the square with the Sanskrit words.

 

And behind Morya they put the Earth as a background scenario which seems exaggerated to me because although the Master Kuthumi specified that: "Morya spoke well and truthfully when he said that love for all humanity is his incessant inspiration" (ML45, p. 266).

 

But Morya is not the Guardian of Humanity, but only one of his guides, and the Master Pastor pointed out that this function of being the Guardian of Humanity is performed by Christ (who should not be confused with Jesus as Catholicism does, nor identified with Maitreya as did Charles Leadbeater).

 

 

 

 

 

 

MORYA'S FACE

 

To make their paintings Gregory and Evdokia relied on this portrait of Morya that they find on the internet:

 

 

 

But this portrait is not completely genuine since the most authentic portrait we know of Morya is the one painted in 1884 by the German artist Hermann Schmiechen and there the features change a bit:

 

 

 

In addition, witnesses who saw master Morya specified that his beard is not brown but black and that his eyes are not blue but also black.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE RAYS THAT COME OUT

 

The esoteric instructors explained that when a human has his crown chakra highly activated, at a subtle level he emits an energetic light upwards, and that the angels also have energy rays that come out diagonally from their backs but the clairvoyants mistook for wings. .

 

That master Morya has an upward ray, may be, but instead putting the diagonal rays seems inappropriate because angels are much more evolved than humans.

 

This thing about putting lightning rays on Morya they copied from Nicolás Roerich who painted Morya like this in his work “Fiat Rex”:
