SIGNS & MIRACLES - Miraculous fruit and vegetables

British Muslims are proclaiming a "miracle message" from God which was found written inside a tomato. Fourteen-year-old schoolgirl Shasta Aslam
purchased tomatoes in the northern British town of Huddersfield. When she returned home, she cut two of the tomatoes into small pieces. But as she took a third from the bag, Shasta asked her grandfather: "Which way shall I cut the tomato?"

He told her to slice it top to bottom. The veins of the tomato spelled out two messages. One half of the tomato said: "There is only one God", and the other: "Mohammed is the messenger" - both in perfect Arabic letters.

Shasta is a Muslim and believes this is a miracle: "These words are a message from God," she said. Shasta's mother said: "God has sent us a sign." Hundreds of Muslim worshippers and others have come from distant places to see the tomato, which is being kept tightly wrapped in plastic clingfilm in the
refrigerator.

In July, UK newspapers reported on two simultaneous aubergine miracles in Hindu communities in Bradford, north England. Mrs Parmar, on slicing nine aubergines for a curry, was amazed to discover, on every slice, the Hindu symbol for God. Hundreds of worshippers have flocked to see the miraculous
vegetable, which is now on display at the local Brapadi Temple.

At the same time, in another district of Bradford, Mr and Mrs Mistry on slicing an aubergine discovered the sacred symbol "OM". The aubergine is now on a shrine surrounded by incense at the Shree Temple in Little Horton where people are queuing for up to an hour to see the miracle. The symbol appeared after Mrs Mistry decided to chop the aubergine horizontally instead of vertically as she had done with the other vegetables. She told friends: " I don't know why I changed. If I hadn't, the sign would have been lost for
ever."

Many journalists are now beginning to link these reports to the Hindu milkdrinking statues, the Florida rainbow-Madonna and other miracles.

Editorial note

Benjamin Creme's Master confirms that Maitreya was responsible for these miracles, and inspired the individuals concerned to slice the tomato and aubergine in a particular way.

According to Benjamin Creme, editor of Share International magazine, all the miracles are signs of the imminent emergence of Maitreya, the World Teacher, and his group, the Masters of Wisdom. They are the custodians of the Divine Plan for this planet and are returning now to show us the way out of our current difficulties and bring the new teachings which will guide humanity towards its next evolutionary step. Soon we will see Maitreya on television, interviewed on a major American network and hear his call for sharing and justice, as the only way to peace.

Benjamin Creme writes: "Over many years Maitreya and his group of Masters have saturated the world with miracles. All religious groups look for signs. It is through the signs that they know the teacher is in the world or is coming into the world. You only have to keep awake and you will see that signs are everywhere. In every country in the world, in every religious setting, there are signs of one kind or another."

His telepathic contact with a Master of Wisdom allows Benjamin Creme to receive up-to-date information on the Maitreya's emergence and to expand on the Ageless Wisdom Teachings. Through this contact Benjamin Creme's Master regularly confirms whether a phenomenon is a miracle that was manifested by one or other of the Masters. Most the miracles are manifested by Maitreya Himself, the Master Jesus or the Master Who was the Madonna.
