The Master Has Gone —
The Divine Teacher Has Come!

(Recorded by Anna Zubkova and Ekaterina Smirnova,

reminiscences and revelations recorded by

Vladimir’s Antonov disciples were also used.)

In the life of a true spiritual Master, there comes a moment when the only thing left that holds such a spiritual warrior on the earthly plane is his strong desire to serve God and people through his body. And our teacher, Vladimir Antonov, remained on Earth for as long as he considered it useful and necessary. In the months before leaving his body, he began speaking to us about the end of his mission. We did not know when exactly this would happen, but we kept hoping that this would happen not tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but sometime in the distant future…

…The clear understanding that the time for this had arrived, was made apparent to me in the evening before he left his body. He came with the whole Consciousness. His presence could be felt much more strongly than it usually was when he led or gave advice from a distance.

This time everything happened much more brightly and incredibly… It was as if all the best states of Divine Calm, Love, and Light that he had given to us over our many years of study together, embraced me as a soul all at once, penetrating the shell of my body, and flooding me with an incredible feeling of recognition of His Divine State!

It lasted for about an hour. There was a conversation without words about all the important things that I wanted to tell him and that he wanted to tell me… It was then that I realized that he would be leaving his earthly body very soon. It happened the following night.

* * *

… On the morning of the day when the cremation of his body was supposed to take place, all the Divine Teachers with Whom we have worked over the years* gathered for a Triumphant Meeting.

The remainders of my "human form" manifested in the thought: “Let’s say goodbye…”

I was corrected: “Let’s greet Him! Or more precisely, let’s celebrate the full inclusion of Divine Vladimir, Divine Murka* — into Our Ranks! Now He is here, among Us as an Equal, in all the fullness and power of Divine Love!”.

Among all the Divine Consciousnesses Who either manifested Their Appearances or dissolved Themselves in the One Ocean of Shining Light, I clearly distinguished Vladimir’s Mahadouble, Who welcomed me with a gesture of His hand. It was a similar gesture to the raised-palm gesture with which Sathya Sai Baba has often greeted us.

I would like to give here some examples of perception or communication with Divine Vladimir, Divine Murka, from those who have ever worked under his leadership:

“Yesterday morning, I went into the woods to check on the mushrooms.

There were no people in the forest! It was beautiful and the sun was shining!

There was a complete sense of Murka's presence, which was, moreover, not limited by any form.

(Upon returning from the forest, I found out that he had left his body).

He was the Living Light — free, gentle, joyful!

I was picking up the mushrooms together with Him and communicating easily!

Together with the “shell” of his material body, all restrictions have gone: He is free!

Sathya Sai Baba said: ‘Our ranks have grown!’.

There was a shared Divine Joy because the Creator has grown through the addition of one more Divine Soul!”

“Murka disincarnated last night.

Friends, we all have a chance to get even closer to God…

Our beloved Master has left…

In the first minutes, when I heard this news, I was ready to react like a normal person reacts to the death of a loved one…

But something was wrong…

At the same moment, I felt an influx of incredible Love and Tender, Golden, Living Light in my heart… And I immediately recognized Him — it was Murka!

A familiar image filled my physical body inside with the Divine Radiance.

After a while, when Murka had been inside me for a long time, I realized that He was happy and His intense Happiness was radiating and charging everything around with joy.

From what I have understood so far, it has become much easier now for Murka to help all of us on the Spiritual Path.

His intention to continue helping every one of us became obvious.

All we have to do is just attune our perception to Murka, to His new state as the Divine Master, Divine Murka, Who was the Spiritual Guide for all of us during the lifetime in His body.

Just open your hearts and invite Murka to fill your whole being with His Shining Image!

For us incarnated people, the best way to understand God is through a familiar image, familiar words. When we are connected with a Divine Teacher by some significant events during our lifetime, it is much easier to understand Him in the new status of God…”

“My Dearest loved ones! I would like to share my experience with you.

In the last few months, I often asked God: What is the best way for me to live the rest of my life in this body? Which path is the shortest way to Him, and which one should I take? These questions are important, after all, because we don't know how much time we have left to live in our bodies here on Earth.

Before my trip to Portugal, Katya wrote to me saying that Vladimir has such a concept as an ‘Unceasing resolute prayer’, that is, a sincere and driven appeal to God. It is when a person turns to God with all his or her heart, soul, and mind with questions of vital importance in search of a solution. Vladimir uses such a prayer when he seeks methods for further spiritual advancement for himself and others.

And today, looking for answers to the same questions, I thought: ‘What would Murka do in my situation?’ I asked Him about it.

My anahata filled with warmth and overflowed with His love. I couldn't hold back my tears of joy…

And He replied:

‘Always live with God!

‘Live in mergence with the Primordial all the time. Live in His Calm, Love and Subtlety.

‘Live for God!

‘Look at everything from God's point of view: at people, at all situations.

‘Coordinate all decisions with Him for the near future and for the long term.

‘Create a plan for the transformation of yourself as a consciousness and act now! Don't put it off!’”

“I picked up the plan sheets from Vladimir's desk. A stack of sheets with the printed plan of spiritual work for various years was lying on his work desk, as usual. From the many notes made in the margins at different times, emphasizing the importance and relevance of various points, and from a few other signs, one could tell that these sheets had been thumbed through many times and had been thoroughly studied…

While I was reading, I began remembering what we did in different years of our work together… The vivid images of our trips together to the forest and the sea began resurfacing in my memory… I always understood the importance of these trips, but especially now. Decades of working together side by side have passed and, over this time, Vladimir, myself, and others merged as souls. I really felt the two of us and our team as one whole. The mutual Goal, the shared tasks, united us stronger and stronger, year after year.

Vladimir and I didn't need many words to maintain our interest in each other, as other people do. We were always comfortable just being around each other, silently enjoying each other's presence, whether we were meditating or just relaxing. In such moments, we were not separate entities: the merging of souls happened naturally, by itself, without any effort. This is like a kind of magic — the magic of fusing two souls into one!

Now nothing limits Vladimir: neither time, nor matter, nor space. He can appear among us at any moment, merging His Image with any of His disciples. He recreated his Forms on His favorite places. His state is a delicate, tender, almost transparent, dissolving Light, which dissolves others in Himself. It seems that so far, He has a very modest sense of Himself in this new state compared to Those Divine Teachers Whom we have known for a long time. But the important thing is that He demonstrates by His personal example that it is absolutely possible to achieve Divine self-realization using the methodology that He has created! Let's try not to miss this opportunity!”

“It is an interesting experience correcting the translations now. It feels as if Vladimir sometimes is correcting these texts together with me, like a gentle flame kindly guiding the correction process. Before, I would correct a text, send it to you, Vladimir would make his edits, send it back, and I would make additional corrections. Now it is as if He and I are working together, instead of working separated by living in different countries.

I must admit that I always considered Vladimir as a very stern and strict teacher, somewhat cold. But feeling Him now, I know that this is not true. He is gentle and loving. I thought that maybe He would not love me that much since I am no longer very devoted to the Path, but His love feels unconditional.”

From Keenan's message to Katya

“Thanks for sharing your experience with Murka! I really enjoyed reading it! I saw your interaction so vividly. :)

Yes, he gave the impression of being a rather strict and demanding teacher. He was absolutely devoted to God and the work he was doing for Him. And he expected the same attitude from others. Because without such an attitude it is impossible to achieve any serious success on the Path… He waged a ‘merciless war’ against the imperfections which would not let anyone overcome such a challenging Path to God. He called all things by their proper names and not many people like that... But he himself has always kept a state of Divine Love inside.

It is not so easy to see the deep essence of a person when we see only his or her body. We tend to judge people like judging a book by its cover…”

Response from Katya

… We sit on the shore of the bay under some beautiful pine trees. Traditionally, we eat sandwiches with mushrooms and drink coffee in such a way that the Divine Teachers can also enjoy this taste and aroma through our bodies, and They can look through the eyes of our bodies at the beauty around us… Among Those Who are present here, there is also Vladimir!

Adler spoke first:

“Your task now is not just to somehow support what already exists, what was done together with Vladimir! Your task is to continue to develop everything that was created and to spread the Knowledge about God and the Path to Him all over the Earth! We All will help you! We will prompt you what to do and when to do it, who to involve, what and when to publish. We will tell you how to act in every situation!”

Then Sathya Sai Baba spoke:

“Your task now is to transfer the center of self-perception into God, into the Divine We, and then, through your bodies, to manifest the Divine Will on Earth. Even if in the beginning these actions will not be life-changing or super important for the world, they will be teachable moments for you. Learn to live from Divine Oneness all the time. (Sathya Sai Baba shows the meditation ‘The Infinite Wall with the movable bas-relief of the body’: behind one’s body is only the Ocean of God, and the protruding part of one’s body, the ‘bas-relief’, is just like a very small part of this Ocean, acting in the Creation, but coessential with the Ocean, filled with the Divine Consciousness).

“That's how you should learn to live and act now!” — Sathya Sai said in summation.

Then all the Divine Teachers Who were present moved back some distance and made room around our bodies for Divine Murka… He embraced us with Himself.

… Everyone who was present there continued to feel this very brightly for a long time afterwards…

… We came to the long-familiar place of power of Babaji. This poem was born in Mergence with Babaji and Divine Murka:

This message was received through tears of joy in the Divine Love…

* * *

… The ashes were scattered over Vladimir's favorite places of power along the shore of the bay.

The lightest particles scattered in the wind and dissolved in the air, the quartz crystals became part of the soil, the urn for the ashes became the flame of the campfire…

So, the full dematerialization of the body was completed…

… Maybe not exactly as dreamed…

But the most important thing happened: the Light of the Soul merged with the Divine Light in the United We of the Primordial Consciousness!

The enormous stage of Vladimir's work through his earthly body is now completed, the next stage of Serving God and People in Spirit — by the Divine Consciousness merged with the Creator — has come!

Now everyone can learn to perceive His Divine Presence and communicate with Him. And, of course, not only at those places where He has been bodily — everywhere one can embrace Him, talk to Him, and learn from Him! There is an opportunity to work at many places of power in different countries under the guidance of Divine Teachers using the unique methodology of spiritual perfection developed by Vladimir Antonov.
