Chohan-meistari
Drottinn eða meistari; höfðingi. Hver geislanna sjö hefur chohan sem einbeitir sér að Kristsvitund geislans, sem er svo sannarlega lögmál geislans sem stjórnar réttlátri notkun hans í manninum. Eftir að hafa andað og sýnt fram á þetta lögmál geislans í gegnum fjölmargar holdgervingar og tekið vígslu bæði fyrir og eftir uppstigningu, er frambjóðandinn skipaður í embætti chohan af Maha Chohan, „mikla Drottni,“ sem er sjálfur fulltrúi Heilagans anda á öllum geislum.
The work of the chohans
The chohans are selected from among the most qualified ascended beings who have arisen from earth’s schoolroom. They are assisted in their task by legions of angels, elementals and other ascended brethren who carry out the plan of God for the most complete expression of the seven rays that is possible for the mankind of earth. The chohans always obey Cosmic Law; yet they are given certain latitude, in keeping with their individual evolutions, capacities and endowments, to direct mankind in the most adroit manner, giving such loving assistance and spiritual direction as may be the requirement of the hour.

Definitions and origins
“A Lord or Master. A high Adept. An initiate who has taken more initiations than the five major initiations which make man a ‘Master of the Wisdom’” (Alice A. Bailey, A Treatise on Cosmic Fire, p. 66, n. 24).
“A Rajput term used by Indian writers to denote high spiritual rank” (Christmas Humphreys, A Popular Dictionary of Buddhism, p. 57).
“Chief, Cho-Khan, ‘Rock of Ages’” (The Mahatma Letters to A. P. Sinnett from the Mahatmas M. & K. H., index, p. 9).
“Chohans, Tibetan? [Lord]. Seven Mighty Beings who, having passed the Sixth Initiation, have the power to focus within themselves the Ray-Streams or Attributes of Logoic Consciousness” (H. P. Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine, 5th Adyar ed., 6:452).
Chohan may be related to the Tibetan chos (pronounced cho), meaning dharma, religious doctrine, or religion, especially the doctrine of Buddha. In a general sense, the meaning of chos encompasses all phenomena, matter, and knowledge of worldly and spiritual things. The Tibetan word jo-bo (pronounced chō) means lord or master, Buddha or the image of Buddha. The Mongolian word khan or qan (pronounced hahn) also means lord, ruler, emperor, or king. The Tibetan chos-mkhan (pronounced chĭ-kĕn or chō-kĕn) means one who practices or is skilled in the dharma.
