SRCM-Sahaj Marg Zoom-in on 1982-84

1982-84 Timeline

April 6, 1982: Letter from Babuji to Chari
April 12: reply from Chari
April 16: Babuji names his son, Umesh Chandra Saxena, President to succeed him
June 28: SA Sarnad is appointed secretary of the Mission
September 2: letter from (Babuji) in Paris to MD Jahagirdar
April 19, 1983: death of Babuji
July 10: meeting
February 6-7, 1984: Working committee
February 8: General Assembly
February 15: Circular of the appointment of Umesh Chandra Saxena as President, sent by the Secretary Sarnad SA

The Context

In 1964, Chari becomes abhyasi of Babuji. By 1970, he is secretary general, and according to him, appointed to succeed him (Babuji) in 1974. According to an anonymous (JM), Donald Sabourin and Kasturi witness the appointment of Chari; according Narayana there are no witnesses. According to Kasturi, Babuji has dictated to her, his own statement of appointment. Meanwhile, Dr KC Varadachari (said by many to be the "Guru in waiting") died on January 30, 1971 although Babuji had (apparently) prepared him as his successor. Babuji is experiencing some health problems that lead Kasturi, Raghavendra Rao and Chari, in 1973, to propose the partition of the Sahaj Marg world's geography among them, which he categorically rejects. In 79, Babuji requests of Narayana that he will have to work closely with Chari after his death. In Munich in 80, Babuji says to anonymous (JM) that he has left the power to Chari ...

1982-84 Babuji directs (by mail) some serious reproaches to Chari and ten days later he secretly designates his own son to succeed him. Two months later, he appoints SA Sarnad secretary of the Mission to replace Chari, then in France, sick, he writes to Jahagirdar to tell him that Chari is drifting from the initial teaching, and is illegitimately presenting himself as his successor and that he tried to poison him several times in the last 4 years but that he has found his successor who's identity shall remain secret.

Babuji dies on April 19, 83. A first meeting is held in Shahjahanpur 3 months later. It is a meeting of Kasturi, Chari, KC Narayana, Raghavendra Rao and the son of Babuji, Prakash, among others. Chari and Prakash both claim the succession. Chari's candidacy is supported by Kasturi and Narayana, the letter of appointment of Prakash is considered a forgery. A poisoning attempt (allegedly) takes place against the clan of Chari. No decision is taken and another meeting is scheduled for 7 months later.

The working committee will meet once again, but without Kasturi, Chari, Narayana, or Raghavendra Rao. The (succession) documents provided by Chari are in turn considered false (see scans of the succession papers at: Surviving Sahaj Marg-Freedom to Speak-Freedom to Speak (items 2 and 2a) . And this time it is Umesh, the second son of Babuji who is applying. He is designated as the successor of Babuji at a general meeting. Sarnad, the secretary of the Mission sent a letter to that effect to all the centers. Then, dramatically, Sarnad joins Chari's clan and we don't hear from Umesh until 1994, it is Srivastava who chairs the Working Committee.

But what really happened?

Put together, these events that are now more or less known to us, suggest that we still lack many of the elements, that are left in silence, so as to understand completely.

Some comments and questions are still unclear and unanswered. What has thus led to Babuji suddenly changing his minds about Chari, without any mention of it to Narayana or Kasturi who are the pillars of Sahaj Marg? We have no information about the first meeting following the death of Babuji when he made a momentous decision. Why did most of the celebrities of Sahaj Marg not participate in the second meeting? Why does Srivastava become the President, and why does the secretary of the Mission join Chari when the name of the successor is announced everywhere?

And what will happen Now?

At the last moment, Lalaji appointed his son at the expense of his nephew who was favored by Huzur Maharaj (Lalaji's Master). Babuji has also (apparently) appointed his own son. What will Chari therefore do? Eventually, will he change his decision (AJ Bhatter) in favor of his son PR Krishna, or one of his grandchildren, Barghav or Madhuri?

"Lalaji is OUR Master!" they all claim

An edited selection of comments taken from Shashwat's Orkut discussion community: Freedom from SRCM-Sahaj Marg

Shashwat's edited words from the article are in "blue"... (with some small spelling and grammar corrections, and some POV (insults, etc.), edited in red by this author)

NOTE to readers:

Babuji, the founder of Sahaj Marg and the Shri Ram Chandra Mission (SRCM) registered in India in 1945, according to his own diary and journals, (see Autobiography of Ram Chandra) met Lalaji only a few (2 or 3) times during his lifetime (when Babuji was 18 yrs old). Babuji also attended Dr. Chaturbhuj Sahay ji's RamAshram satsang a few times. Lalaji died in 1931 and Babuji was never a regular attendee or a "preceptor" of either group. Babuji, then a bureaucrat (court clerk), founded Sahaj Marg and Shri Ram Chandra Mission in 1945, 13 years after Lalaji's death. He did not join the other Lalaji groups then in existence.

See this letter from Babuji in 1963, to Bhagwan Barosey in which he states: "The Mohamadan systems have all breathe their last, and this (Sahaj Marga) the only ONE has emerged out in their place."

One wonders if Lalaji (in revelation) told his "Sufi followers" in the RamAshram that they were now to follow the Sahaj Marga of the SRCM in the future? There is no admission of this from Lalaji's family, the Sufi community, the RamAshram of Dr. Chaturbhuj Sahay ji, or the other branches of ISLAM. Such wild and disrespectful claims would certainly make Babuji a "target" of followers of other "Mohamadan" religions and other "spiritual groups" in general, and in particular, fundamentalist Muslims in Europe circa the 1980's, during his trip to Europe. (from: NaqshMuMRa Nexus of Lalaji's family where his grandson is the Master and "Dean" of NaqshMuMRa).

There are also other less-organized schism groups of Sahaj Marg in India and Europe.

Sister Kasturi's letter (see halfway down the comments) or on this blog at: Sister Kasturi Speaks

Lalaji's Family Web site: NaqshMuMRa Nexus
(see their "golden chain" (list of Masters) of SUFISM that began with the Prophet Muhammed and that includes Lalaji as #36, and his grandson as #40... note that the name of the Prophet has been replaced by "my Master, my God", by Dr Chandra Gupta to whom this site authored by PK Gupta, (Sufi Saints and Sufism) is dedicated. (see section on "Sufism in India" for Lalaji's story and lineage in Sufism).

Again, as in Sahaj Marg where the Master and God are both "MASTERS", replacing the first "Master" of the "golden chain", (the Prophet Muhammad with "my Master, my GOD" seems to be politically "expedient" to say the least, and seems to be an ineffectual and weak attempt to "whitewash" or hide the Islam connection, at best.

Note: since the above post ran, on Jan. 27, 2009, The above "golden chain" has been removed and another put in it's place. Why? The new "chain" does not show the information referred to above!!

NOW THE ARTICLE:

Shashwat Said:

SRCM claims that lalaji is the founder of the system of sahaj marg, not only this, the Master and President of SRCM(California), P. Rajagopalachari, also claims that Lalaji has ordered that members of his cult (of a Personality) must marry each other.


If we try to find out the roots of the problem we are facing today (i.e sahaj marg), we may end-up finding various versions of lalaji and his theory of transmission, Chari's gang claims that Lalaji re-discovered Raja Yoga, here is what they claim in their website:-

"He rediscovered and refined the ancient raja yoga method of pranahuti, whereby divine energy is transmitted by the Master into the heart of the aspirant in order to expedite his or her spiritual development"

Now there is something also called a Raja Yoga system of "Pranahuti", this is not Patanjali's Raja Yoga but a raja yoga of "Pranahuti" and it is ancient as well, the same group also claims that this system is a modified version of Patanjali's Raja Yoga wherein they start from the last stage of Patanjali's raja yoga, these hopeless attempt to present sahaj marg as modified version of Raja Yoga speaks volumes about true nature of this system.

Sahaj Marg has got nothing to do with Raja Yoga, it is simply a product of hallucination on the part of Babuji, and Chari has simply made it worst.

Lalaji on the other hand seems to be a follower of Islam (Sufism), we have three groups (among many) which currently claim exclusive successorship from Lalaji, they are:-

1. Ramashram Satsang

2. Santmat

3. SRCM

There are a few more, but they do not claim exclusive ownership to Lalaji, we are aware of Lalaji's family linage, and they are also into the business of selling divinity.

All these groups present a different picture of Lalaji and color Lalaji according to their own vision and do not present the true picture. We need to know and understand a few things here. They are:-

1. What has caused Sahaj Marg to come into existence!

2. Why and how Sahaj Marg turned out to be such a worst kind of brainwashing cult!

3. Is there anything spiritual in Sahaj Marg? If yes what?

4. How did Lalaji become involved in something of this nature which is it hell bent on destroying the foundations of our society (the family)?

5. Why does Sahaj Marg break up the family?

6. Why and how does sahaj marg make its followers weak (feeble-minded, gullible, .. believing fantasies, untruths, spins by "spin doctors"...) and cowardly? (obedient to the point of having no ability to challenge the Master's (or his representatives's words) ?


We need to find out answers to these questions and I intend to start a discussion on these 6 topic in our forum, so that all those who are reading our forum may get a glimpse of what is Sahaj Marg in REALITY?

I intend to start with Lalaji, and I will take 3 references for the same, to start with, we will analyze the:

Ramashram satsang version of Lalaji's history, here is their link:-
http: //spiritual-meditation. org/background. htm

They say:-

Rev. Lala ji Maharaj was formally initiated by his Master into the Spiritual Transmission system of Meditation on 23 January 1896 and was finally proclaimed a great saint and spiritual Master on 11 October 1896 in a large convention of saints and advanced devotees. After the demise of his spiritual Master, Rev. La1aji Maharaj took up the mission of spreading the Spiritual Transmission linked Meditation system to the needy aspirants in a big way from 1911 upto Aug.14, 1931 when he merged into supreme consciousness for ever. His most beloved disciple Rev. Dr. Srikrishan LaUi Maharaj was proclaimed as saint vested with full spiritual powers by Rev. Lala ji Maharaj in his life time itself, who continued the mission of his Master from 1931 onwards from his Ramashram located at Sikandarabad (UP.)

Another version of Lalaji is available here:-

Astrologer Jolly:
http: //astrologerjolly. tripod. com/ramashram. htm


When Mahatma Ji was eighteen, he came in contact with a great Sufi Master, Maulana Fazal Ahmed Khan Saheb. Khan Saheb was totally above the preposterous idea of man-man divide in the name of religion. "Khuda mazhab mein nahin, muhabbat mein hai" (God is not in religions, He is in love) was his fundamental belief. He was a siddha, an enlightened master. His followers included people from all faiths. He found in Mahatma Ji an able soul who could further his mission to awake general masses to devote themselves to the path of God. Like his master, Mahatma Ji was a great humanitarian. He lived a simple life. Many of his disciples carried his mission of spreading the light of truth. A number of such organisations are today working pronouncing that the wisdom of sages are meant for the common people and boundaries dividing the mankind are only man made. Thakur Saheb Shri Ram Singh Ji was a Sant in the lineage of Sufism and Santmat in India. A great generous and reformist Sufi mystic, Maulana Fazal Ahemad Khan Saheb chose to bestow his grace on his able desciple belonging to Hindu faith, Mahatma Shri Ram Chandra Ji Maharaj (Lala Ji). Thakur Saheb was one of the great disciples of Mahatma Shri Ram Chandra Ji Maharaj.

This is another linage of Lalaji.


And finally the version of Lalaji presented by Chari's gang:-
http: //www. sahajmarg. org/welcome/masters/lalaji. html

His personality, mode of living and general behaviour earned Lalaji the respect and affection of his neighbours. He was much loved by Hindus and Muslims alike, and though he loved his followers with all their faults, he was also a strict disciplinarian. In contrast to the practices of his time, he was very much against rituals and idol worship and in favour of the remarriage of widows as well as the education of women.

Display of any kind was repugnant to Lalaji, and he advised aspirants to stay away from powers until they reached their goal and discipline was perfected. He felt that every aspirant needed a spiritual Master, and that great care should be taken in selecting one. His doors were open to all, and he would frequently transmit to his followers until 2 o’clock in the morning. He regarded morality as essential to
Self-realisation and love as the greatest spiritual practice.

On August 14, 1931, Lalaji passed away, leaving Babuji to continue his work for the upliftment of humankind.

Of these 3 version of Lalaji, at maximum only one can be true, which in turn means, two of these groups are (seem to be) liars and are (seem to be) fake, manipulating people and fooling them in the name of someone who died a long time ago !!!

We need to analyze these 3 groups to start with our quest to find the roots of our problem, which is in Sahaj Marg.

I hope we will have some good discussion on this topic and can come to a conclusion.

All the 3 groups in question claim that Lalaji left his most beloved disciple to carry forward his work, first one is

1. His most beloved disciple Rev. Dr. Srikrishan LaUi Maharaj was proclaimed as saint vested with full spiritual powers by Rev. Lala ji Maharaj in his life time itself, who continued the mission of his Master from 1931 onwards from his Ramashram located at Sikandarabad (UP.) http: //spiritual-meditation. org/background. htm

2. Maulana Fazal Ahemad Khan Saheb chose to bestow his grace on his able desciple belonging to Hindu faith, Mahatma Shri Ram Chandra Ji Maharaj (Lala Ji). Thakur Saheb was one of the great disciples of Mahatma Shri Ram Chandra Ji Maharaj. http: //astrologerjolly. tripod. com/ramashram. htm

and

3. On August 14, 1931, Lalaji passed away, leaving Babuji to continue his work for the upliftment of humankind. http: //www. sahajmarg. org/welcome/masters/lalaji. html


They all cannot be true at the same time, only one of these groups is honest and a genuine one, the question we need to answer is which one?

Testimonial of a SRCM Preceptor, Secretary for USA

Taken from a post on Michael's (Texas, USA) blog: Inner Circle of SRCM (in the comments) and also on Alexis's (France) Blog: Le Projet Sahaj Marg. Michael was a member of the "inner circle" of Chari when the alleged "take-over" took place.

Here is the testimonial of "A(nonymous)", an Indian who was a member of the SRCM created in 1945 by Babuji. He joined as a simple abhyasi in 1987 and was made preceptor around 1996. Chari re-registered the SRCM in California in 1997 and the Sahaj Marg Spirituality Foundation, founded by Dr. K.C. Varadachari, professor of Philosophy successor and guru-in-waiting to Babuji, but who passed away before Babuji, in Austin Texas, changing it's name to "Sahaj Marg Spirituality and Teaching Foundation (SMRTI)).

According to Navneet, President of SRCM (Shahjahanpur) Umesh's son and Babuji's (founder of SRCM) grandson, his father Umesh, the ex-president of SRCM(Shahjahanpur), is now deceased from an alleged "poisoning". The SRCM(Shahjahanpur) is now in Supreme Court of India in a suit against Chari, the current President and Master of SRCM (California) for control of the name of his grandfather's society and its assets.

(see many legal documents at: Freedom From Sahaj Marg

At age 17 (1987) i had strong desire to understand the meaning and purpose of life. Studied Vivekananda, and started meditating on my own. I came across 'Reality at Dawn'. I was impressed and decided to meet Babuji.(I am an indian living in India). I met a local preceptor Mr.M. After couple of meetings he said "I know what you are looking for, I request you to join our mission. Give me six months of time. Do what i say for six month. At the end we will sit on same platform. If you feel i have wasted your time, your free to give me any abuses you like".

I was touched by the humility and openness. I told him, i would not question for one year.
Later during sittting and talks i realized, Babuji had passed in 1983. I went to Shahjanpur for 'Lalaji's Birthday celebration', the same year. I was already feeling the difference in my condition/experience the grace at Babuji's Samadhi and his house. As i got involved i learnt that there is some issue going on with Babuji's Sucessor. Mr.M told me that Babuji left none. We have a working president Dr.S.P.Srivastava.

I used to meet my preceptor almost three times a week. During talk, i understood that Chari is claiming the sucessorship and came to know about all the legal issues in India too. He mentioned to me that, while Babuji's body was still burning at Shahjanpur, Chari had the paper circulated that he is nominated as the president of mission. Chari was general secretary of the mission till 1980(?), he was removed from all postions after that. Chari was the only person appointed by Babuji to make new preceptors. My preceptor was made a preceptor by Chari!.

But he refused to accept chari as the representative. The personality he described to me about chari and what i read from your blogs are identical!

Infact, Chari send out a letter to my preceptor, that his preceptorship is cancelled, and his powers are revoked. He showed that letter to me when i went for a sitting to his home. Asked me to sit for a sitting and tell him how true it is. I felt no difference in the sitting, it was still the same grace i have been receiving.

Unfortunatly, my preceptor left us in 1993. Babuji that i know, SahajMarg i know, the grace i feel is all due to his efforts. In my very close association with him for six plus years, I have never, not even once, seen him lose his cool or a change in the tone or pitch of his voice. I was like his son, so there nothing hidden from me or as a matter of fact anyone. There was no 'inner circle'.

I had developed good relation with preceptors of neighboring cities too by that time. And i saw very similar personalities. None of them accepted Chari as the successor though.

Since they wanted to run the Mission, they met with the president S.P.Srivastava and decided on ways to make new preceptor and made new one for my city. I took regular sitting from him and felt similar grace too.

I have also heard from my preceptor that Andre Porey was a strong contender for the successorship. Babuji had more liking for him, but Lalaji disapproved him, since Lalaji felt that Andrey Pore or people around him are not introvert and would utilize the power for material purpose. I recollect this as i read your post on people dressed in black showing up for meditation.

As far as i know, my preceptor told me that till the end Babuji was always saying that i did not find one to nominate.

The center was working fine, but we got a letter now from Umeshchandra saxena that he is the sucessor representative. We all got copies of the letter that Babuji Maharaj wrote to him on mission letter head with Babuji's Signature.

I have seen the letter that Umeshchandra produced and the one that chari has produced. I still have copies of both. I rejected the copy chari produced simply by reading its content. Babuji, as i have known him from my preceptor, does nothing without mentioning his guru Lalaji Maharaj. A successor nomination letter without the name of Lalaji Maharaj is 'impossible'.

The letter that umeshchandra produced seemed more in line with Babuji's style. "By the grace of God and Lalaji Maharaj..."

I must mention here, my preceptor told me that when Babuji used to travel west, he used to leave few blank signed papers on mission letterhead for administrative reasons. Since he worked in court, he was very perticular and always checked back on the papers when he came back. In one of his last trips, he saw three blank signed letters were missing. He registered a complain at local police station for records.

Since one of the senior preceptor (he was one of the few, who had soul connection with Babuji-initiation) in neighbouring city, accepted that letter, we all accepted it.

I took sitting from umeshchandra when he came to my city. The sitting reminded me of the condition i felt, at Babuji's Samadhi and Babuji's house. Tremendous grace. But i was very perplexed with the petty talk and other behaviour of Umeshchandra. I question this to the Senior preceptor-whom we were relying on.

He agreed with my observation, asked me to watch and not react. I kept did not question much.

Umeshchandra has accused Chari of 'poisioning' Babuji Maharaj in court papers! He said that something was done to Babuji in his trip to west. I recollect this when i read michael's post of Babuji falling down.

Umeshchandra, later asked me to come and stay at his house near Delhi. I went there for four days, and he made me a preceptor. He seemed sincere in trying to run the mission as Babuji intended. I saw all the menuscripts that Babuji wrote while he as getting dictations from Lalaji Maharaj, Lord Krishna, Swami Vivekanada, Lord Jesus Christ, Lord Buddha etc. (there is a autobiography published from it, not many people has that copy)

Later I came to US on work (1996). Having made preceptor and US secretary of the Mission, i tried to see if i can find some good abhyasis. I tried to contact old abhyasis's from a list i got from Umeshchandra. I even attended a sitting conducted by a local preceptor made by Chari. I did not divulge my identity- said i am an abhyasi from India. I noticed that there were no pictures of Babuji Maharaj or Lalaji Maharaj in the center. There was a picture of Chari. I did not find any grace in that sunday group sitting.(my sensitivity is very good to surrounding, i can catch good and bad vibrations, thoughts etc.)

After the sitting a book was being read written by Chari. I never went there again or talked with the preceptor.

I created a website 'sahajmarg.org'. Put some basics of Babuji's teaching and the issue of sucessor representative. I scanned the court papers, Chari had presented in the court as successor representative and the one Umeshchandra presented.

This started a legal battle here in US. They(Chari's zonal secretary) contacted the domain registrar and disputed the domain. The issue went to arbitration. I worked with Umeshchandra, and presented the response to the arbitration. The decision came in our favour that we can keep the domain name. I was delighted, and so were people in india, this was probably the first time, we had won something.

This did not last long, as Chari, approched the federal court, virginia to dispute the outcome. I too hired an attorney to fight the case. My financial power and other means were extremly limited. There is nobody here that can support me in this issue. It was a drag on me personally and finacially.

When, Chari(zonal seceratary) realized, i am fighting it out, they hired one of the biggest law firm in US to fight the case (100K + would be their fees)

In 1999, I went to india to attend Babuji's centenary celebration in Shahjahanpur. I saw obvious change in Umeshchandra at that time. He did not have any Job or financial backing. He had started depending on the Mission to support himself. I did not have any problem with it, since he was doing a full time job as the president. But i saw, that the attitude was to get more money in the mission, so that he and his family can use more- support a lifestyle.

I saw politicians invited at the celebrations on the stage. They are bad everywhere, but in india its - i don't have words here.

I saw i was being used for some publicity. There were fears for Umeshchandra's life due this dispute and he was carrying a revolver in his pocket at shahjahanpur ashram.

I was sad. I realized Umeshchandra is not the representative. I discussed with the senior preceptor on whose word we had accepted him as president. He used to manage all the accounts for the ashram. He acknowledged, grave money mismangement in the mission.

I came back to US, very sad. I still had to deal with the court case, since Chari's attorney refused to accept Shri RamChandra Mission, Shahjanpur, India as an identity and was personally dragging me in the case for violating his trademarks.

My attorney, advised me to backoff, He told me he does not have means to fight the biggest law firm in US, and even if we won, they can always challenge the decision and go to supreme court and drag this for a long time. I did not have the money, or power and now no faith in Umeshchandra.

I signed the papers that i have nothing to do with the SRCM, nor will my kids! have anything to do with it.

My heart cried...still does.

Let me add one more...

There is a CD/cassette available of Babuji's talks with Danish abhyasis (1974?) The western abhyasis are impressed with Chari and inquirying about Kasturi and Chari to Babuji. A lady asks Babuji, "is Chari a saint?", Babuji gives some vague answer, but she repeats the question. Babuji answers "Chari is Bachelors of Science"!!!

These are Masters own words, recorded, published even by Chari's organization.

(I have added paragraphs and done some small edits for readability)

Jai Said:

Hi friends,

I am an Indian from Australia. I was involved with this group for about 1 to 2 years and then finally left it in 2006. I am going to express my experience about this group.

I am an open minded person and joined this group in year 2004 because of my interest in spirituality. Initially I was very happy to know that in this system there is a Guru and one can grow individually in spirituality. Meanwhile Chariji visited a local ashram (in India) on the eve of Babuji's birthday. I took my first sitting during that eve. Before sitting into the hall my cousin (he is also in this cult group) told me to wipe out 'TILAK' ( a symbol which hindus make on one's forehead during worship). I was very surprised with his demand. I didn't like it but did accordingly thiniking that there may be some reasons for that. ......Gradually I started doing practise sincerely and kept doing whatever my local preceptor told me to do. During the course of my meditative practise I came to know that these people and Chariji are strictly against religions (specifically Hinduisum). According to the talks of Chariji and behaviour of his followers one thing was manifest that anything related to Hinduism is not accepted by them and was prohibited.....


They are against everything related to hinduisum...i.e. other meditations (which take more time to bring enlightment and have goals other than enlightment according to Chariji), yoga, breathing exercises (Pranayama), idol worship or any means of worshiping the God. Even they were against the mudras which are used in traditional yoga system to achieve good health and healing....I was technically or indirectly told to leave my religion. I was feeling that I am going to change my religion or have changed it at some extent. According to Chariji other meditations lead us to achievement of supernatural powers and that is not the goal of an individual and whatever types of meditations or spiritual methods exist on the earth, MISLEAD an individual......It is the only and only his meditation (trade marked..) method which leads us to the right goal..( mine is better than you approach) and he also claimed that he is the only capable master on this earth (selected by the mother nature) who is given the responsibility of the people of this earth....

I was quit surprised with this kind of silly statement made straight away to me. From inside I was not agreed with this statement.

I will try my level best to inform some guys who are attached with this group. My younger brother is also attached with it but I can not get him out immidiately as I am here in Australia. I told him about your community and made him go through the threads. So today he is less attached with them (does not go to satsang) but still takes sitting from his preceptor. My cousin sister was also interested in meditation so she organized some sittings with her preceptor and then she also had to move to US for further study. After arriving to US she contacted local preceptor and took some sittings. Now during this stint of time I also warned her and made her watch your community, so initially she got angry with me because she felt a flow of reiki during her first 3 sittings. So she was convinced that this system is not fake. But I told her that it can be reiki at the most....it is not a meditation anymore and to do reiki she must not be dependent on any kind of guru. Now after sometime she ealized that people at srcm are 'pushy'. They always say the 'do this , do that, attend satsang, come to the vanue, visit your preceptor once in a week, pray to God, blah blah..." and she got sick of it. She stoped visiting preceptor and annoyed the 'compulsions' inflicted upon her......she felt that : 'one should waste his precious time after this useless activities thereby leaving other social duties and activities' this was the approach of srcm people...

so finally she stoped it. One more important aspect of srcm meditation is that one does not need to cleanse 'Chakras' i.e. root chakra, throat chakra etc. to achieve enlightment because their 'progress' happens from different path of points depicted in their books. Now anybody who has done any meditaion or breathing exercises will not be convinced by this aspect. Even I was not convinced by this bullshit. Because I was doing breathing exercises even before joining srcm and I AM DAME SURE THAT WITHOUT CLEANING ALL CHAKRAS AND TUNING THEM WITH ONE ANOTHER ONE CAN NOT GO AHEAD TOWARDS ENLIGHTMENT. That is the only path to rise one's energy. And nobody are exceptional with this funda. If he is Chariji or Swami Vivekanand or Swami Ramkrishna Paramhansa or Osho or Master Zen or Buddha or Gurdjieff or me or you or even Sage Patanjali himself.........HE HAS TO CLEAR ALL THE CHAKRAS/ENERGY POINTS TO MAKE PROGRESS. And this dude Chariji got the short cut even in the spiritual path....How bizzare...

But all these observations do not originate in the one who is totally new in the field of spirituality. And that is the case with new comers at SRCM. They can not apply logical reasoning or can not compare with their old spiritual experience because they do not have it. So they easily get impressed and think that they have got the best system and Master. I was attached with spirituality (breathing exercises)eventhough I believed what they said and fell in this trap so think about those who are very pioneer in spirituality. Even today I am feeling some emotional blocks and can not react properly sometime when it comes to worship or religious matter. And I know what is the reason behind. The preceptors trasmitt the energy (reiki more specifically) during first 3 and consecutive sittings. During these sitting they try to programme new comer mind (subconscious mind) in such a fashion that they start divert their interest towards srcm and against religion or other methods they are following. Now this will seem silly to you guys but it is a deep psychological phenomenon which very few people know about or come acress. It is easy to programme one's own mind but it is very difficult to programme the mind of other person. Now to send suggestions to the new abhyasi they start sending energy and gradually the person who is accepting this energy starts feeling soothing state of mind with very low frequency of thoughts. Now this is the state of mind in which the thoughts (filled with the energy) sent by the preceptors enter the realm of subconscious mind of that Abhayasi. Unknowingly the new abhyasi turns towards SRCM and against religion.....

This kind of sittings become frequent for a new abhyasi and the impressions about SRCM becomes deep. More of it before starting meditation or sitting you are instructed to put a thought that it is not preceptor but Chariji who is transmitting this energy. And the moment an abhyasi thinks that way he starts programming his mind that 'Master is transmitting" and he unknowingly becomes dependent on Master/Chariji. And again and again this thought become powerfull as it is told to do so even before meditation and sitting and even cleaning.....Many of you guys may be knowing that the thought we focus deeply on or we think frequently becomes reality after sometime and these people are using this technique to make a deep impression on one's mind.....Think...how can I 'believe' a person whom I have seen in the photo or have heard the talks of him? If somebody from SRCM tells you that Chariji is the 'Siddh Purush" and they expect us to be believeing even with out varifying it. They tell us to put the faith in Chariji just on the basis of their own belief on Chariji.....how can this be possible.....we people even do not trust our friends without passing considerable amount of time after them. Once we realize that a particular friend is worth trust then and only then we put the trust in him. So we people think before trusting a friend and here at SRCM we are told to believe some one as your Guru!!!!!!!!! How is it possible....If we do so then we are 'obedient' abhyasi and if we so not then we are not good abhyasi..

I have seen consequences of getting emotionally dependent on Chariji. During a birthday celebration of Babuji I saw an abhyasi ( aged around 70) telling his misdeeds to Chariji. There were abhyasis from other places gatehred around him and was listening him. I also joined that group and listened that senior citizen. According to his talk he was very rude, proudy and indisciplined to Chariji since he joined the path. He lived many years with Chariji and was almost right hand of Chariji. But during his relationship with Chariji he did something wrong (may have gone against Chariji at some point) and Chariji removed him from his inner circle and told people not to have any emotions for him. Now while I was listening to his story one of the abhyasi told me that 'Chariji has told all abhyasis not to involve with this guy'. At that moment it strike my mind that it is not that senior citizen's fault due to which Chariji removed him from his inner circle but it must be Chariji's action to which that old abhyasi had to go against. And to get him under control Chariji must have removed him from his inner circle and told other abhyasis not to have any emotions to him. As he was emotionally dependent on Chariji he could not live normally as he was feeling isolated and deserted. But whom could he complaint against chariji? Whom could he convinence in his favour? May be hsi wife also was not supproting him as she was also zombie. So to repent for whatever he has done to Chariji, he states himself a criminal and he also states that he is shameful for his deeds but the time has gone now.........

Now after listening his story I thought that it can be me in the future or can be any of the abhyasi. And I really did not want to emotionally relay upon someone like Chariji. Chariji even does not meet anybody during his birthday celebration and people queue and wait for him as if he is a super star. I was also one of them who waited for his arrival but he even does not look at us. And I relly did not like this kind of behaviour. I felt very ignored and insulted. I am not very important person and neither I am a super star but I have a self respect and I really do not like to be ignored like this. Who the hell Chariji is? Who the hell he is to critisize Hindu and other religions. He is always comparing his tradition with hinduism and tries to prove that hinduism is not efficient to achieve enlightment. He is full of criticism and full of hate against hindu religion. One thing I have noticed that he is not speaking much against Islam. It is becasue he does not want to die...( I am not against any religion but just stating my observation)...he knows it very well that if he will speak too much against Islam, the rigid muslims will not spare him and will make his life in trouble. But he knows that Hindus are not much aggressive so he critisizes Hinduism and hindus.....

Logic or Intimidation at Sahaj Marg?

Dear Brother Karan:

This is regarding your community on S. R. C. M on orkut. I thank you on behalf of Master and all abhyasis for your good intentions to propagate the cause of S. R.C. M. However, lately we have also been watching certain people trying to target ids/communities like yours to spread misinformation about S. R. C. M. and its activities. Your id/comunity could be also a target of such people soon. We would therefore urge you to join hands with Revered Master and remove your community and any mention of S. R. C. M. from your profile with immediate effect. We would also urge you to remove any such reference on any other blogs if you have ever done so. This would help us to spoil all wrong intentions of the miscreants before it spreads using technology. Hope you understand and would walk the said path with Master.


With love and regards,

To the Miscreants

Interesting that this person uses his "Jt. Commissioner of Police" title, along with "SRCM Preceptor" and "Working Commitee" membership ... Now that is a typical example of "Loving", "respectful", and "professional". NOT... lol (4d-Don said: Fear mongering and Intimidation? YES!)

Instead of accusing "some" of being "miscreants", he should address the now-exposed, and (reported, "alleged" verbal) attacks by his group on other religions, groups inside his own religion, marginalized minorities such as the "gays" which Chari calls: "un-natural" and their protection in "legislation" an "abuse of rights of man legislation".

About other religions, he attacks their rituals such as the catholic "confession", their validity and credibility, calling them "corrupt", and he even says that they "promote" war and violence and SRCM teaches that to the "children" in their VBSE School curriculum.

That type of "miscreant" behaviour should be reported to the UN DPI Program by some SRCM(California) "insiders" who still have "morals" and ethics.

If Sahaj Marg is going to UNITE the World under the Chari Banner, then he is going about it like a spoiled juvenile delinguent and is causing more divisions even in his own GROUP. Barak Obama seems to have more UNITING power than the self-appointed "representative of GOD".

The religions who want "freedom of SPEECH" so as to SPEW their hatred of other groups should not try to "intimidate" other's FREE SPEECH. Those who expose them as "miscreants"? What's next? Are there no MIRRORS in INDIA? The SRCM like all religions have no "correcting mechanisms", once something is said or "endorsed" it has to be defended to the end. LOGIC can't defend their POSITIONS so they try "intimidation" and then violence and war ... Krishamurti was right! Faith leads to VIOLENCE! Well NOW IT WILL BE ON TV and on the NET... For all to see... We just need the "MEDIA" of the 5th estate, the INTERNET, to be TOLD...and we will do that!! We are doing that! We are THAT!

Those who fund these "miscreants" will remember this when the next "gay" person is beaten up by some "lunatic fringe" of these FAITH-BASED "literalists", fundamentalists and adherents to obedience to religious dogma by decree from the top of their PYRAMIDal corrupt paradigm. (As Sister Kasturi stated,...) IT's the MONSTER you, who fund it created, YOU REIN IT IN...or EXPOSE IT and Bring it DOWN! DISMANTLE IT! Give it back to the PEOPLE who gave it to you!

4d-don Said:

When the power (police, military) of the secular "democratic" state with its communal "tax base", is used to enforce through intimidation, the edicts and decrees of a specific religion, or a specific pseudo-spiritual group such as SRCM, registered in another country (California, USA) what we, the citizens have is a societal drifting towards a "theocracy", and we, as a society, are losing a "democracy" with it's "FREEDOMS". . Such use of the power of the state is a retrograde motion back to the feudal medieval days of the "divine rights of kings" and the aristocracy. Such intimidation tactics are not sanctioned by the UN in their DPI program criteria, and "free" information should flow "freely".

The right to "own land and property", the freedom of "free thought and speech", and the freedom to "assemble" is what democracy is built on.

It is time for the funders of this SRCM(California) group to forsake "OBEDIENCE" and to exert their democratic "power" and their freedom of SPEECH, or lose it for themselves and for future generations. Our democratic freedoms were not a gift from the aristocratic and autocratic "elite", which includes RELIGIONS, but they were "taken" by the PEOPLE, and at a cost. Some sacrificed their lives for these FREEDOMS. We all have a responsibility to protect them, so as to pass them on intact and/or enhanced, to the next generations.

Those who sell our "democratic freedoms" for volunteer "titles without power" will be recorded and remembered, just as we recall those who in the past, have betrayed their ideals, their countries, family, friends and compatriots for "beads and trinkets", (30 pieces of silver) and other illusions of power such as the religious cons of "salvation" or "liberation", or a "better seat" in the "other world", in the "brighter world" or in the AFTERLIFE.

RISE UP! RISE UP!

In solidarity with Barak Obama, "YES WE CAN!"

LIBERATION from Sahaj Marg

In the King James Version of the Christian Bible, (Genesis, Chapter 1, verses: 10, 12, 15, 18, 21, 25)

After Creating the many parts of the Created Universe, it is repeatedly stated:
" ... and God saw that it was good ".

Any sin and/or salvation, which translates to SAMSKARAS and LIBERATION, in Sahaj Marg, would have come with the creation of Homo Sapiens, MAN, and would come much later. According to many Christians, Jesus of Nazareth, their Christ or Messiah (Saviour), was part of the Creator which is a TRINITY of God the Father, God the son (Christ), and God the Holy Ghost (the Spirit of Love between the Father and the son... No female properties at all) This was imposed as an article of faith in the Nicene Creed, by the Roman Emperor Constantine at the Council of Nicea, in 318, and was to be professed by all "Christian".


If the Christian "Creation myth" is accurate, then the Creation was begun by the "desire", and then the WILL and the ACTION (Motion) of the ONE, the UNITY, the first CAUSE, to BE as the ONE, and to become MANY, as the ALL. There is no place in the ONE's Creation for a mistake, an error, a sin, a samskara, or a "slavery to a desire" that then had to be "forgiven", or to develop a "desire" to be LIBERATED from.

The LIGHT did not, and still does not desire "liberation" or "salvation" from it's samskaras or "SINS", nor does the sub-atomic or atomic "matter/energy", nor does hydrogen, and all the other elements. The galaxies, suns, planets, animals do not "sin", nor do the vegetation (trees). JUST MAN, or "HOMO SAPIENS" , the so-called wise ape ...

And since there does not appear to be "justice" in this life, Christians, Muslims and Jews believe in a heaven, a hell, and the rest of the "carrot and stick" myths of religion (angels, demons, purgatory, limbo, etc.) : TEMPTATION and FEAR. This sense of the need for "Universal Justice" was to be addressed by the "birth and rebirth" cycle of the re-incarnation theory of the spiritual East, which apparently culminates with "LIBERATION" from this cycle.

Then comes Chari, who from Babuji's "modified" eightfold path of Raja Yoga, starting at step #7, re-introduces the "Brighter World" (heaven) and we're right back into the SPIRITUALISM of "mediums, and "messages from the dead" of the SRCM(California) as exemplified by their fund-raising book (for $250.00 donation (no tax)): "Whipers from the Brighter World", where apparently one goes to after LIBERATION.

In Chari's Speech: New Year's Message for 2009 he states:

"And I pray to you, beloved Master, to grant us this privilege of rejoining you in the brighter world as soon as possible".

And in his Speech: New Year 2009... Character is Pure Love

"My Master used to say if you would spend one part in one thousand, of the time and effort that you lavish on this body, your future in the other world - the brighter world - is assured."

So if some "religious" and/or "spiritualist" adherents desire "LIBERATION" from this perfect Creation of the ONE that badly, or from this Life or what they call "slaves to one's desires" in their Sahaj Marg prayer, which is repeated many times daily by the abhyasis, then PLEASE LIBERATE us of your PRESENCE in the PRESENT or the GIFT that is Life, and become "not born, ever again" or LIBERATED of this "not GOOD" (Bad) Creation of the ONE. This creation that is stated as "GOOD" according to this "creation MYTH" from the Genesis chapter of the Jewish Bible, which by the way, is also used by Christian (Protestant and Catholic) and Muslims. This combined group makes up the majority of the human population on this, our HOME planet, EARTH!

If abhyasis and other religious adherents can look at the sunrise, and the sunset and see that miracle as simply, an "unwanted desire", a "valley of tears", and something to be "liberated" or saved from, then PLEASE leave your living space to someone else. Someone who can truly physically, emotionally, and spiritually appreciate this gift, and who will be "grateful" for the privilege, the grace and the joy of simply being a humble "witness", in awe, reverence, compassion, love, charity, hope, and in UNITY (ONE-ness) with all of LIFE.

If one can look into the eyes of a newborn baby (a son, daughter, grand-children, etc...) and see only "a sinner" or a "slave to desires", and then run to a foreign country or town, so as to be LIBERATED from that "desire", then please LIBERATE that child of your negative PRESENCE, so that this innocent PRESENT (gift) from the ONE, can grow in the PRESENCE of those who consider Life a GIFT or a GRACE from the ONE, and as inherently "GOOD", and not something that is simply a "slave to desires", or a "sin". The child is an expression of the REALITY of the cycle of LIFE (birth and rebirth, "re-incarnation", according to some religions), and not something for its parents to be "LIBERATED FROM", but to be humbled in front of, and in joy, humility, gratefulness, charity, compassion, hope, etc...

Then look at the Starry Sky at night, and see the millions and billions of stars, planets, comets, asteroids, galaxies, and more unseen that their ONE (Yahweh), according to this Jewish "creation myth" also called "GOOD", and if you still want to be "LIBERATED" from that to the point of running to a foreign country and placing a MAN on a pedestal and "adoring" and "adulating" him, so as to be saved or "LIBERATED from that PRESENT, then LIBERATE the spot of your PRESENCE so that some other may occupy it and live in awe, gratefulness and reverence, before the "GOOD" creation of the ONE, the UNITY.

Same applies for the flowers, the forces of Nature (wind, tides, storms, floods, fires, volcanoes, etc...). They are all GOOD and they are a privilege and a gift to witness. MAN, his religions, and his organizations and structures are the PROBLEM!

The Religious as well as the atheists have been given a GIFT, the gift of LIFE and the grace of BEING a part of the ALL (Creation), to be "SOMETHING", and as spoiled children some desire to be "NOTHING", not alive, or to be elsewhere, as in HEAVEN or in the BRIGHTER WORLD where there are apparently "no desires" or no problems (pains, joys, drama, LIFE) ... JUST ??? BLISS? A sensation? Whatever!!

One can understand that desire for NOTHING-ness or something "not so wearing", from tired "old farts". And they wish to die and go to heaven or to the "Brighter World" soon so as to get their rewards or their "just desserts". They don't seem to enjoy this LIFE or appreciate its GIFTs anymore. As some have worshiped the MATERIAL and have adhered to faulty or flawed (religious) "philosophy" and/or logic, and not the spiritual "GOOD", the things of "value" in LIFE, now, in their old age, the Material is losing its lustre and they desire the "other" or "the brighter" or "better" world, and "soon".

But the children have not lived yet... Leave them enjoy the gift that has been given to them in as positive a MANNER as is possible without the constant NEGATIVE myths of Materialist businessmen who play at religion in their sunset years. They pollute the spiritual world with their "mind", as they have polluted the "material world" with their attitude of "the devil may care" , and/or "someone else will clean up the mess when I'm gone". As long as they "achieve" and "make money" they call that "success".

And when they reach the "other side", they may even try and develop their mythic "Brighter World" and put in a "parking lot", for the sake of their Holy achievement of PROFIT (spiritual capitalism), no doubt. And they will no doubt still expect blind "obedience" from the saints of that "world" !!

NO MORE!! It stops here!! We now can, thanks to the INTERNET, warn others and expose their "scams".

Let us hope that when Chari's "death wish" for the mythic "Brighter World" comes to pass, he will not, like some other cult leaders, take some or all of his obedient followers with him.

If it happens, he may not know what he has done then either! It comes from having "no philosophy" except "achieving"!! ANYTHING!!

So in the "afterlife", should there be an "afterlife", wether one remains conscious of having been a CARBON entity (6 protons, 6 neutrons, 6 electrons, (666) with an atomic body), wether one becomes a consciousness of PLASMA or an ionic/ghostly entity, wether one becomes a consciousness of the "Sea of Quarks" or a "sub-atomic/gluon" entity, wether one be a consciousness of an Electromagnetic or of an "energy/ether entity", wether one be a consciousness of MIND or a Mental entity, or wether one be a consciousness of the one-ness of SPIRIT or a spiritual entity, STILL, as the ONE (what some call by the Germanic/Gothic word: GOD) continues ITS Creation of the continuum of the ALL, IT will not need to ask our permission to use the "matter/energy", that we are or have been conscious of, and any deals or covenants made by RELIGIONS around a promised "heaven", a "brighter world", or "liberation", will be irrelevant, and the ONE IS... and the CREATION of the ONE, called" the "ALL" or the "MANY", will BE. To that, one can add if one choses:

The Religious, "AMEN"...(So be IT), or "Thy (ONE) WILL be done" or as the fictitious Jean-Luc Picard of the Starship Enterprise on Star Trek is made to say: "Make it so!? ;-))

That is the only choice you and WE will have. But we have choices to make in the NOW, so as to make this a better place for the sake of the children and for future generations!!

SRCM(California) and more Real Estate Projects

From Alexis, France: Confidential Information Letter No 72, of Jan. 8, 2009.
See also: Alexis's blogs: Le Projet Sahaj Marg, and SRCM=Danger


SRCM (California)
A small enterprise that knows no (financial) crisis:

At SRCM(California), the collection of funds for building projects is unwavering

Against all odds, the contributions (fees collected from abhyasis) of the SRCM France increased by 100%, despite the remarks by Chari, despite the financial crisis and economic recession.

Against all odds? No, not really!

Last May, when the Board of the SRCM France met at Vrads (...Castle, Denmark), Chari was not only in favour of doubling the French contribution. He also suggested creating, in all secrecy, an International President's Fund, based in Switzerland to collect small and large donations, the idea being that the Master could draw upon this pool for whatever reason he sees fit. No written communication would be made, but only oral announcements at the (Meditation) centers to request monthly donations in the mirror-image of the former SMSF fund for the "centers of light".

Parallel and equally discreetly, Committees for Real Estate Projects were established to assist Santosh Khanjee, Krishna(Chari's son), and PR (Chari) in their search for real estate bargains. These would be private projects (deals) and the legal and tax aspects can be complex. These "living sites" (homes, bank foreclosures), in addition to being homes for private individuals, could possibly house a cottage for the Master and a meditation room. The plan is then to make them available, free or for rent, to the Mission. Lawyers, architects and real estate professionals are brain-storming the mechanisms that are the best suited. Individuals and societies will be sought out.

You had not heard about it? Naturally, there is not only questions of spirituality at the SRCM! One just has to be part of the "inner circle" (top brass) to realize it.

Once again, the nagging question comes up: the SRCM (California), is it a spiritual organization or a vast enterprise for raising funds for investment and financing of real estate projects?

In brief:

* November 28 - As Bombay licks its wounds, our friend Chari is sorry to see his cottage at Manapakkam invaded by water (70 cm), while there were up to 2 meters in the refectory of the Babuji Memorial Ashram

* Chari is planning a trip to the West in early 2009 (mid January to March). Nothing is definite, but there are rumours about the USA, France, Switzerland and Denmark.

* Chari announced that his birthday celebrations would be held at Vadodara in Gujarat, from 23 to 25 July 2009. Will this announced celebration be put in question, following the financial crisis?

* 150 euros is the amount of the contribution of SRCM France, which was doubled for 2009

* After 4.5 years of loyal service, Bernadette Van Steven ceded her position as vice president for France to Patrick Fleury on 1 January 2009.

Addendum:

Patrick Fleury, a resident of France, was previously appointed by Chari to sit on the Board of Directors of SRCM (Canada), as he removed some "residents of Canada", and replaced them with some foreigners and those "loyal" to Chari, thus controlling from "India, Europe and the US" the "charitable donations" accumulated in Canada and the US. Charitable dollars that abhyasis were allegedly told would to be spent on "charity" in Canada, the country where they were contributed and collected.

See: Canada Revenue Agency, Charities Listings:

Enter: Shri Ram Chandra Mission
City: North York, Ont.

See: List of Directors and Financial Statements
For Residence of Directors, see: SRCM and the UN, appendix to Template Letter

Notice change of directors and their place of residence, and the change in assets as internationally, the Lalaji Memorial Omega (Private) School is built and Spurs Ranch Retreat, near Austin, Texas, USA, and CREST centre are purchased, and commercial and luxury (castles in Europe) properties are bought and sold and/or used as "headquarters", Meditation Centers, retreats, etc ...

And the many large "Birthday Celebrations of the Masters" and the TOURS go on at SRCM(California). Which part of those "Charities" did the "Canadian donations and contributions" go to? As members of the organization, you have a legal right to know! Remember! Transparency!! And maybe, you could share the information with the PEOPLE!! Anonymously!!

For those who can still count and have a "social conscience", please count the "carbon footprint", the "societal cost" of those "navel gazing orgasms" that are the Master's Birthday Parties for the sake of adulation of the Idol? One can understand these "orgies" of narcisism and ego, when done in the name of Religion, as a "ritual" of POMP and CEREMONY. We can understand, but we don't accept them as "charity" and don't want to "fund" them with our "tax exempt" dollars, that are meant to support legitimate "CHARITIES". The legislation is not intended to support all and any PROSELYTIZERS of RELIGIOUS tenets, myths, dogmas, and its Material Orgies to its IDOLS. The KING of Sahaj Marg can sit on his throne and hold court and be adored by his subjects, at his own expense supported by the "entertainment" dollars of his fans and his "stable".

But in the name of a so-called SPIRITUAL Group, that claims to not have "rituals" or "pomp" or "EGO"? In the name of SPIRITUALITY that claims to be a modification of a a system called: "Raja Yoga"? It's stretching credibility to call this "Charity" and hence think that it should be considered "tax-exempt" in a another country, Canada!! Where is the "ethics" in the SPIRITUAL or "New Religion" movement? Let alone the "MORALITY"!!

Chari's New Year's Guilt Rant (continues)

Another New Year "Rant" from Chari duplicitously (as in "duality") called: Character is Pure Love

About TIME!! (Nature's way ... not by Chari and his "industrial revolution era", male and religious" TIME)

"How does the little busy bee improve every shining hour and gather honey all the day from every opening flower? Well, he does not. He spends most of the day in buzzing and aimless acrobatics and gets about a fifth of the honey he would collect if he organized himself!"

Heneage Ogilvie

Now Chari's GUILT RANT:

(Let me guess!! by the Guilt being shoved at you in this message, SRCM(California) needs more money! A Bail-out package ... in exchange for "bliss in the brighter world"! ... I bet he comes to visit soon ... Get out your wallets and buy your airline tickets ... Practice your "Goo Goo, Ga Ga!! Oh Master!! I am but your slave!!" And be ready to buy another "whisper" BOOK by a French lady Medium. A book of messages from "beyond the Grave" of the SPIRITUALISM that is SRCM(California) ... Try and convince your family and friends to come also or to send money to buy their "material" icons and materialist "goodies" also ... )

Everybody says, "Happy New Year." But for me, in a spiritual context it can be happy (Do you desire "happiness"??) only if you (Do you not mean "I"? as in YOU and not US?) have achieved something (We have all achieved something in the material plane of course, haven't you? Living is achieving! Some shoveled snow (talk about a waste of time, eh? ) ... We could have waited for it to melt ... Some (some of us who don't have servants) also washed the dishes but they got dirty again ... Another big waste of TIME of "no achievement" ... Some enjoyed themselves and "laughed", gee! I think that is a "waste" also,...but the SPIRIT simply IS ... all the TIME, no matter what we "ACHIEVE" materially) in the past year. If you have not achieved anything in the past year, (That is an arrogant statement and a spiritual impossibility. Living is Achieving... Spirit simply IS) it is another year wasted (not for the "truly SPIRITUAL"). And the new year today only reminds us that, alas, one more year has gone. (A year is one obit around our star (sun) and then counted by MEN of religion as if it had started on the birth of a GODMAN, and who would guilt others to do their bidding so as to enrich their own coffers and egos with the wages, TIME and wealth of their followers, their "serfs" ) What have I done? What have I achieved? And it must remind us very poignantly that I have less time in front of me and much behind me; (Erroneous understanding of TIME... From a SPIRITUAL perspective, which dwells in higher dimensions than the 4d of our carbon selves, and which I presume you are speaking from, (sarcasm) there is no shortage of TIME ahead or behind, because TIME, as a measurement of Change or MOTION, is an "ILLUSION". It is MOTION (spin and orbit of the planets, the suns and galaxies) that is the reality, and we as a consciousness of SPIRIT, and as entities of Matter (carbon) are always in MOTION and are thus always changing or "achieving", creating more SPACE with MOTION, to be measured as either meters in SPACE or as seconds in TIME, and/or felt as "DURATION" or a continuum) much that I've wasted, and the few that are remaining, ("Time" is "SINGULAR" and one-directional, from past to future, and is a "measuring tape" of MOTION or CHANGE... We don't run out of "inches" or "meters" and we who are intellectual and/or SPIRITUAL don't run out of seconds or months of TIME either, and we are not slaves of TIME, as we, in the SPIRIT, simply ARE. You preach to the "denseness" of the "emotional and to the materialists", using their guilt to profiteer and/or prosper in "numbers". When will Sahaj Marg BE Spiritual, and FREE from the guilt of not achieving, according to an addict to the material and power?) will I continue to waste or will I begin to use in a way that my future is assured? (The future of SPIRIT and hence of all those carbon entities who live "spiritually" as well as the future of those who don't, is assured and no MOTION is wasted in the UNIVERSE of the ONE. The Religious Belief systems of little (tiny) "Homo Sapiens", in a far away corner of the cosmos, is not what influences the relationship between SPACE (meters) and MOTION (meters / seconds) nor the "Universal CREATION of the ONE".

The "FUTURE" or "a future" is a TIME concept and is an "illusuory" uncertainty that we who are of the SPIRIT, call the UNITY of the NOW, along with the PAST, and the PRESENT. Would you also say that those who don't achieve in TIME, according to Chari or other Religious proselytizers, also have no "assured past" or no "assured present"? SPIRIT SIMPLY IS ... NOW! PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE... no guilt possible or no material or TIME "achievements" are necessary so as to be SPIRITUAL ... SIMPLY BE!! LOVE! GIVE! SHARE! We all know the attributes of SPIRIT!! Your material or TIME achievements will not "change" the Spiritual REALITY.

Babuji would not use GUILT the way Chari and many religions do!! Why do most religions do it? To build TEMPLES and support organizations that records the legacy of the Temple BUILDER as if he/she was an IDOL ... and later, a GOD-MAN (see Jesus of Nazareth) !!

We all save money in banks. (Not all of us... Some of us give or spend all we have and more, and constantly live near poverty, and then manage to share with some of the less fortunate also ... those who gather and accumulate from the labour and wealth of others, so as to produce more "MATERIAL" meeting places, for their own egotistical lusts, desires and ambitions, (goals) can't claim to teach the SPIRITUAL, but are really teaching and living a "MATERIAL" existence where their gauges of the achievements of others are preached for the sake of their own "EGO"). We save data in computers. We spend a lot of money looking after this body, you know: exercise, good food, health supplements, medication against illness. My Master used to say if you would spend one part in one thousand, of the time and effort that you lavish on this body, your future in the other world - the brighter world - is assured. (That last part: "The other world - the brighter world" is from Chari, ... There is no "other" or "BRIGHTER WORLD" in Raja Yoga, it is an "INVENTION to match the Christian and other Religion's "Heaven"... it is the "carrot" of the reward on the "other side" of many religions that keeps the gullible feeding the Pyramids of the POWER Addicted!)

We are inside the ONE and the ONE is ALL ... There is no outside the ONE for the fantasy of the "Brighter World" to exist in. We are inside the ONE, IT is inside US all...and not only in the HEART but also in the Brain, the hand, the toe and the rectum. Babuji said to "Fly with both wings" ... The heart and the brain. Don't ask the toe to "think" and don't ask the brain to "pump blood"... But the Brain will give the ORDERS... it is the NERVE CENTRE, the decision maker for those who would not be manipulated by the emotions and the con-men and charlatans who play and prey on them.

(...) To know the truth you must look at your heart, look into yourself, observe yourself. Forget the world, because they only tell you lies. (Chari is part of the "outside world" that according to him, lies to you... but some of the outside world also tells you the relative truth. Those who vilify all your family and friends and other religions and therapies so as to isolate you is also "milking" you of your TIME and MONEY and they can't pretend to "Unite the World".) Why do they tell you lies? Because they want you to help them, to give to them, to praise them. You know it. The moment you are praised, you know there is something, there is a soft touch as they say. So stop looking at the outside world. (Chari here must be speaking of himself as we all know that the abhyasis do not "praise" anyone but Chari, and they don't "give" to anyone but Chari, and they don't "help" anyone but Chari and his MISSION... Why does he LIE?... do you see his command: "stop looking at the outside world", meaning stop looking at HIM? ...

Would you lure friends and neighbours and their children to religious charlatan strangers, and teach them to "trust their hearts" or would you tell them to use their "BRAIN" to check them out? ... We know that "con" men like those who trust the "emotional heart" as it is easy to fool but the brain can protect with logic and intellect. Mostly it will protect from religious and other cons who rely on "trust" to gather their numbers.

SRCM (California), was re-registered in California in 1997. The matter is still in court. Why should this be a concern?

(...) The moment you transfer your happiness out of yourself into something outside, you are dooming yourself to disappointment, and possibly destruction. My wealth must be here [points to the heart] - not even here [points to the head] - here in the heart, because this goes with me through life after life through all eternity. Everything else outside - pretty or ugly, good or bad, useful or useless, worth keeping or worth throwing away - everything goes.

Is this FEAR mongering or is Chari talking about the "disappointment and destruction" of SRCM(California) and it is a message from "The SPIRIT" for all to GET OUT!!

The Master is eroding the abhyasis FREEDOM, the freedom to enjoy the God-given life of family, friend, pets, nature, etc., the Natural life by replacing what he considers part of "not achieving" or "wasting" time, with a slavery of self-observation, a sense of chrono-criminality or chrono-sin, manipulated by chrono-guilt. The GUILT of wasting TIME. The abhyasis is so obsessed with the goal and reaching the reward of the "brighter world", that TIME seems to run out on them. And to be "liberated' from the insanity, the depression of "no time" they try and please the Master so as to be "saved" or "liberated" from their self-imposed self-centered narcisism, and navel gazing. In the mean TIME, Life passes by, the families grow up, the friends leave or depart, thus accumulating the sense of guilt.

About Victorian era control of people's TIME by "Industrialists and Puritanical fundamentalist Christians"...

"The watch-chained Victorians (Puritans and industrialists) shrilly maintained that all hours were to be spent either building economic power or spiritual power, envisaging a system of "spiritual accountancy" whereby hours spent working or praying would accumulate future rewards, whereas playing, lingering, jolly-making, gambling, giggling, were coins of hours badly spent- every trifling, whistling one of which would cost you dearly in the afterlife".

Jay Griffin.

A Sideways Look At TIME

Achieve less, LIVE more! Pray less, BE more!

Chari is a fundamentalist, religious, Industrialist. "Achieving" is what he was trained to do, and is what he DOES. As with other "Johnny Come Lately's", Spirituality or simply letting it BE, or simply BEING is foreign to him. For him Sahaj Marg is a retirement project, a "side-line" for his "legacy", another chapter in his "autobiography".

As most "industrialists", he is trained to take over, control as a dictator, and manipulate for the sake of "achieving" more numbers. And looking at the state of the planet, the full cost to society (pollution, divisions, wars, etc...) for the legacy of unfettered industrial and now "cartel" capitalism and their mega-profit, is to be subsidized by society at large, and even subsidized by the societies of future generations. Likewise with the legacy of playing with people's lives with "new religions" created by spiritual neophytes. The societal cost of the divisions perpetrated by these neophytes for the sake of adulation and ego, is born by the families of the "disciples", the larger community.

As many other religions, Sahaj Marg, under the control of industrialist, fundamentalist Chari, has now drifted into the religious gutter of manipulating with GUILT and REWARDS. Fear and TEMPTATION. The carrot and the stick.

Sahaj Marg is now a religion of "SPIRITUALIST CAPITALISM", just like other mega-religious corporations such as the Holy Roman Catholic Church or the VATICAN: achieving salvation or liberation by banking "hours of prayer" so as to reap accumulated future "interest" in the other "brighter world". Babuji, the founder of this spiritual mess would shutter!!

He/she who willingly gives away the total control of his/her heart to the mind of another more-organized person or group, soon loses not only control over his/her own TIME, but also control over his/her own hearts including the ability to love anyone beside the organizer, without permission!! Such religio/political control is a spiritual dictatorship of the WILLING that destroys the individual's control and his/her ability to LOVE. Sounds Apocalyptic, does it not? Who would want such control over other people? Is there not a name for that disease?

Open Your Heart ! Chari !

Malampuzha Ashram Foundation Stone Laying Ceremony,
23rd December, 2005, Kerala, India

Chari replies to an abhyasi:

...Yes. But, in real fact, what a prefect should do is to win the heart of the abhyasi. We have a saying that ‘Love is God. God is love.’ If that is so, when you work on the heart where God is supposed to be, what are you doing?

Is this not telling? The Prefect's job is to "win the heart of the abhyasi".

Maybe the correct term for the proselytizing mechanism used by such "Cults of Personalities" is not "brainwashing" but first convincing people to think with, and to trust their hearts (become emotional rather than "rational"), and then performing "heart washing" or playing on the "emotions" with contradictory and confusing statements. Come on people, the HEART IS A PUMP, not a BRAIN! Use your "noggin" if you want to be FREE!!

Then Chari goes into the "training" of his soldiers, comparing them to "horses" (animals) so they will "behave well"...

(...) Suppose you have a coach and four horses, and you are harnessing them to the coach. And then the boss comes and says, “You drive him.” And he thanks you for taking him to wherever he wants to go. In reality, who is doing the driving? The horses. Why do they go? Because you love the horses. If you don’t love horses and you hate them—neighhhhhh [sounding like a recalcitrant horse]! So you pat them on the neck, you brush them, you kiss them, give them a cube of sugar, and then they will behave well. The feeling is important; the horse must look at you and recognize you.

(...) Do you understand? So in spirituality when you are able to harness the hearts of your people, they work as if they are not working for you, but for themselves—which is true.

And the preceptor or the prefect (priest) is to "harness the hearts of your people", so "they work as if they are not working for you" but that they think that it is for "themselves". They (the targeted "serf" ) will then have no (voting) power in the METHOD or the MISSION except as a "proselytizer" or as a recruiter!! If they protest, they will be removed by the PRESIDENT as per their own constitution ( a dictatorship). And they will do the work "willingly" if the prefect or preceptor has done his job well ...

And later....

So what are we to say? Every one of you should love in such a way that you have kavarchi, you know, aakarshana shakti [power of attraction]. And how will it come? When you are not there and only the other person is there. If you give a sitting just to put on record that today I gave seven sittings, that is for yourself, isn’t it? Babuji never said he has transformed so and so; he never said that. In fact once, one very senior officer of the government came. He said, “Babuji, can you show me two people whom you have liberated? Then I will join your Mission.” I was going to hit that fellow in the face, you see. It’s like telling an apple tree, “Show me an apple and then I will accept you are an apple tree”—and they are hanging from the tree! Isn’t it?

So one of the goals of the the preceptor or prefect is to work on his/her "power of attraction" so he/she will please the Master with "numbers" of obedient sheep !!

Notice the "anger" in Chari who was going to use violence in reply to a legitimate question. What are the names of the "apples" that have been LIBERATED by SAHAJ MARG?

Now he reverts to "name-calling" and insults the French people yet again. Ah the LOVE in the MAN!! And he transmits that to the World as SPIRITUALITY!!

So we have fools. And fools—why are they fools? Because again arrogance will not allow them to say that, “I do not know.” “Oh yes, I know everything. Spirituality—chi chi! It’s a cult.” Like they have in Europe, the problem of the cult (SRCM was named in 1995 by a French (and also a Belge) Government Comittee (30 members) as a "harmful sect". (translation to English) Only fools talk about something they don’t know, with the vehemence of somebody who knows everything about it. “Oui, oui,” they say. So you see, talking about something about which you know nothing in a way that you know everything, is the first sign of arrogance and ego. Pride! And then when we ask you the first question, you say, “Do you know anything that you are asking me a question?” “No, no, brother. You said you are a scientist. Can you tell me the velocity of light?” “Look in a textbook. Who are you testing?” One who dare not be tested will refuse to be tested, as if he knows everything and you are insulting him by asking! You understand?

NO!!

Does Chari "know" about GOD? Does he say: "I don't know!"? Or like an "arrogant fool", does he go on preaching to others about God being MALE, and what God thinks of "homosexuality", and claiming to know wether women can be MASTERS or not, according to GOD. "Methinks he doth protest too much" (Shakespeare).


When someone asks to be OBEYED in everything, then the rest of us can say that that person is creating the "CULT OF A PERSON" ... Only a "fool" would say differently. Since "name-calling" is Chari's forte, then we can also say that he displays a certain "megalomania" and "arrogance".


From now on, we want all MASTERS to be TESTED... It is starting to happen already. Self-titled GURUs BEWARE! ...

Any "contender" who desires to become a "spiritual Master", through "self-titling (megalomania), writing his/her autobiography (ego), shows by his/her desire that they are not "Spiritual Master Material", but are motivated by the glitter of the MATERIAL and lust for its illusion of POWER. Taking other contenders to court or using violence against other contenders would immediately disqualify a contender as that process shows a desire for Earthly or Material POWER and hence creates "idolatry" in the true seekers these "false Masters" would attract through personal or "animal" magnetism, also called "charisma". Charisma cannot be the gauge of Spirituality, nor is the number of "followers" a person attracts. Many Idols have many followers.

The journey of Spirit is an "interior" journey, as opposed to the exterior rituals of the business of RELIGION and "cults", which need material structures and un-democratic organizations (dictatorships), and "numbers". A person who registers his "spiritual path" as a "trade mark" meant for commercial products has corrupted (material-ized) his/her own spiritual path and can't be called a Master of Spirituality. That path would also corrupt (harden) and divide the followers of this person from their families, friends and societies.

"Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it." (New American Standard Bible, Matthew 7-13 attributed to Jesus of Nazareth, called the Christ (Messiah) be he historical or myth)
