Leaves of Moryas Garden I (The Call) is the first book from the Agni Yoga Series which is composed of fourteen books. In them is found a synthesis of ancient Eastern beliefs and modern Western thought and a bridge between the spiritual and the scientific. Unlike previous yogas, Agni Yoga is a path not of physical disciplines, meditation, or asceticismbut of practice in daily life. It is the yoga of fiery energy, of consciousness, of responsible, directed thought. It teaches that the evolution of the planetary consciousness is a pressing necessity and that, through individual striving, it is an attainable aspiration for mankind. It affirms the existence of the Hierarchy of Light and the center of the Heart as the link with the Hierarchy and with the far-off worlds. Though not systematized in an ordinary sense, Agni Yoga is a Teaching that helps the discerning student to discover moral and spiritual guide-posts by which to learn to govern his or her life and thus contribute to the Common Good. For this reason Agni Yoga has been called a ';living ethics.'Agni Yoga Society

In the East this epoch is noted as the Epoch of Maitreya, the Epoch of Great Compassion, and the Epoch of the Mother of the World.

In the Hermetic Writings of old are found references to "the Woman clothed with the Sun." Is this a symbol or a sublime Reality of the Higher World?Ancient religions, inspired by Messengers of the Planetary Hierarchy, accorded great reverence to the Feminine Principle in Creation, the Mother aspect of Deity.The highest manifestation of this Feminine Principle has been called by many names, among them, Mother of the Universe, World Mother, Isis, Ishtar, and Sophia. To the Gnostic Christians She was known as the Holy Spirit, one of the Divine Triad; but ecclesiastical Christianity has regarded the Holy Trinity as entirely masculine, thus depriving its adherents of a sublime and ennobling Concept.In the following pages will be found selections from the Teachings of Living Ethics-given by the Lord Maitreya-which illumine the Image of this Majestic Being, the Matriarch and Initiator of the Planetary Hierarchy, the spiritual Mother of all the Christs and Buddhas of human history-the spiritual Mother also of every child of Earth whose heart is attuned to Her's.
