SMSF-USA RETREAT CENTER UPDATE

Report by brother S. Krishna Sai, Austin, Texas, USA

Rev. Master had approved the idea for a Sahaj Marg Spirituality Foundation Retreat Center for the Americas earlier this year, on the auspicious day of Janmashtami (Lord Krishna’s birthday), during the Inaugural CREST course earlier this year. It is with great joy and happiness we share that Rev. Master has approved the purchase of a 28-acre ranch property in Austin, Texas. The future home of SMSF-Americas Retreat Center will be located about 15 miles south of Austin. It presently has a primary 3 bedroom home (Master’s Cottage) and a 1 bedroom guest home (Caretaker / Director’s Cottage) with a work room which may be converted into a meditation hall. It is a working ranch with a lot of usable flat land, a creek and livestock corral type fencing around the entire perimeter of the property and a secondary fence around the house. It is located in the hub of Yoga/spiritual activity in Central Texas.

Rev. Master gave us the following guidance on the purpose of a retreat center during his talk on 9th August 2006: “… souls yearning for rest from glamour of this world, from the insistence on money-making, from the demands of power structures – lay all that behind us, and go there and relax, bring our souls to pristine purity and meditate, introspect, do some writing if you wish to do so …”


In Europe it's Castles, in America it' s "ranches"...and in the hub of "spiritual" Texas?? (a center of "immigration" destination with their "religions"??)


Search for the "TRUTH" on Blog of Abhyasis

This appeared on a blog by an abhyasi and was soon removed. You can see why! The blog was a search for "the truth".

Warm house of Poor

Today was Krishna Bhaiya's house warming. He built a new house in Bangalore, Sarjapur Rd. Its a huge house. Master conducted satsang. Yesterday I expected that Krishna will give an open invitation to Blore abyases for Satsang but, there was no announcement regarding the same after morning satsang. I felt a bit upset as I have seen that middle class ppl are now a days giving open invitation to all abhyases for marriage reception. Why not Krishna?? He is big guy? After all ppl cannot be so disturbing. I am sure everyone understands that they should not disturb master.

He must be having his reason? But today morning we came to know that its an open invitation to all blore abhyases to attaend the satsang. I was GLAD.
Some abhyases were telling that master went all the way to Nasik for house warming of a rich abhyasi who built a palace like house.

I dont have any issues with master going and inaugrating big houses. Those ppl must be close to him or he may be bound to oblige. Somewhere i feel there is a contradiction in what Sahaj marg is teaching and following. Master tells make a simple house & one house is enough. Then why abhyases are making 3 0r 4 houses?

I dont have credibility to tell master not to go for house warming of riches. But, I havnt seen or heard that he has gone to the house warming of poor too.
I feel there is a gap widening between poor & rich in abhyases. Many abhyases feel tat master gives attaention to only those who are rich. Physical nearness is only for rich...poor has to just stand in queue waiting forever.

love

Answer to :Warm house of poor

Hi,

In my last post i was upset as why sahaj marg phylosophy is not followed by master's own son. Well i got the answer, we should see only our master as example not even his son. Well his son may have built many houses but not master. So we should not get upset by somebody doing something which does not match the phylosophy of sahaj marg. Master is working every moment for upliftment of humanity. He has no other aim.
I just need to help him in this. This should be my role. Thas all, period!!!

The truth should be supported by "spirituality" and is but this group is not a "spiritual" group.

When the truth is "snuffed out" like that, then you can ponder what will happen to your truth should you "cross" the "Mission".

Heads Up!!!

If it smells like a duck, and walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it's probably a "duck".

This is from the MIELKE out of France

SRCM Ashram Maintenance

The maintenance du Babuji Memorial Ashram was taken over by Prakash Sandhya who uses young volunteers to carry out this task. Prakash Sandhya is the owner of See Change Consulting Pvt. Ltd. (www.seechangeworld.com), a consultation firm from Chennai. He also directs other information companies such as Micronet Business Machines. But he has written two works called "You Too Can Sell" and "You Too Can Be Rich".

He works regularly for Intel Asia, ICICI Bank and other large corporations…

Mr. Prakash is a contributor to the Sahaj Sandesh. His last contribution was about the OMEGA school.

Ah! the simple and "spiritual" life.... Preach "simple" and live "rich"!! Why are the Religious called "hipocrites"? It' s not only for Religion but it is now also for the "all-new and improved" but "modified" spirituality out of INDIA!!

Sahaj Marg and SRCM(California) is another example of the "rich" playing at RELIGION and SPIRITUALITY...they are simply selling a "PRODUCT" which is now "trade Marked", just like all other commercial products. See the list of "ownership" of the Sahaj Marg Spirituality Foundation. See who controls the MONEY! and the SRCM(California) Societies in every country. It is all "ON-LINE" in this and other blogs...
