Mahatma
El mahatma [sánscrito maha, "grande", y atman, "alma"] es el «ser de gran alma», quien, por su humilde comunión con la llama de la vida, ha atraído la gran percepción solar de la conciencia de Dios y la ha asumido como su identidad.
Such a one becomes a vehicle through whom the beautiful currents of divine grace may radiate daily into the world of form. Without such dedicated souls in their midst, millions would be deprived of the divine currents that are vital not only to their existence but also to the balance of forces on the planet. These Bodhisattvas are of great assistance to hierarchy in maintaining a vibrational contact upon the planetary body that is stabilizing to the planet.
