Comment From Ex-Preceptor, Appointed by Chari of SRCM (California-1997) and Sahaj Marg(tm)

Michael is an ex-preceptor of Sahaj Marg(tm),  appointed for the Boston area by Chari, the self-appointed President of SRCM (California-1997).  Michael has two blogs:  Inner Circle of SRCM, where he has detailed his experience in Sahaj Marg and with the SRCM (The Shri Ram Chandra Mission); and a more personal blog: Skai Journey.   Michael sent this comment:

Don,

I just posted this on Jai Hind's "Beware of Sahaj Marg" site:

Having lived long enough to have personally known, Babuji, Chariji, Babuji's Sons, Ragavendra Rao, SA Sarnad, not to mention one of the last surviving associates of Lalaji who died recently at the age of 103, I am going to comment to the many folks posting here, claiming to "know" about the system of Sahaj Marg, offering their advice and wisdom to Jai Hind for simply documenting HIS experience.

1. Sahaj Marg is not part of Lalaji's legacy. Lalaji encouraged a multitude of spiritually inspired people, without creating exclusivity or claiming to be the "only path" to some elusive goal. Babuji, after meeting Lalaji only a few times, and a decade after his death, claimed his exclusive successorship. Yet Sahaj Marg bears little resemblance to what Lalaji taught. *

2. "The Goal" everyone is clamoring to acheive in SRCM is a falsity! There is no Goal, no elusive "Brighter World". There is only an Infinite Journey that lays before you and always has laid before you! You can choose to languish in starry eyed trances around the words of self proclaimed (and dead) gurus, or embark upon the Journey that is yours, and yours alone to travel. Even your revered Babuji hinted about this when he said, " Its as simple as turning ones head from here to here"...

3. For whatever reason Babuji created this SRCM system, the result is multitude of charlatans and opportunistic family members claiming to be his successors, representatives, holders of his legacy, or, worst of all, directly communicating with him from the dead.

SRCM blatantly claims to be the exclusive means for humanity to achieve the highest "Goal" possible for human beings. Such claims deserve scrutiny. Call it "judging the system" if you'd like. HOWEVER, such claims go against ALL that true Spirituality represents. Yet, SRCM members feel free to judge anyone who might speak up about it. Even I have been called an "Enemy of Spirituality" by SRCM for speaking the truth on behalf of a much larger and more ancient spiritual legacy that SRCM ever will be! Jai Hind seems to be bearing the brunt of it from posters, who display little or no direct knowledge of the very foundations of the organization and system they defend.

I truly hope and pray that those of you who have posted here are ultimately blessed with the ability, through whatever means, to see the Infinite Journey that has always awaited you - A Journey where a direct relationship with Creation/Creator is your birthright!

Love,

Michael


* According to Lalaji's family's on-line site, (NaqshMuMRa Nexus) The first "non-Muslim" Sufi Master, Lalaji (1873-1931,  58 yrs old)  had 212 disciples.

See Also:  Babuji's letter (Feb. 14, 1963) which seems to be claiming that "Sahaj Marga" has "emerged out in their place" and is apparently now replacing Lalaji's "Mohamadan systems" which "have breathe their last", as shown on NaqshMuMRa International Fellowship section of the site.

Becoming a Preceptor of Sahaj Marg(tm)

Translation of an article by Alexis: "Devenir Précepteur", posted on Élodie's blog in Europe: Pour Que Vive Le Sahaj Marg.


October 21, 2013 

Becoming a Preceptor ... of Sahaj Marg(tm) 


What are the chances that your candidacy will be successful?

To become a preceptor today, you need to apply and receive the recommendation of your center-in-charge (CIC) and the area-in-charge ( ZIC ).

Certainly, you must have read the classics of Sahaj Marg (The Complete works of Ram Chandra, My Master, etc. ), if possible, several times over.  You must have participated in the celebrations and the bhandaras (birthday parties)  organized by the Mission, visited the Manapakkam ashram and volunteered to serve the mission.  It is also good that the members of your family be good abhyasis.  

But your language and computer skills must be up to speed, and it is better for you to have a good internet connection and know how to send out e-mails.

Your CIC and ZIC will certainly have to confirm that you practice regularly and that you know the Master, the Mission and the Method (3M's).

But they will mainly assess your ability to express yourself well, especially when faced with a non-abhyasi public.  They will indicate how many new followers you have ensnared and convinced. They will also evaluate your performance in terms of organization and volunteer work.  In short, they need to assess your energy and dynamism in recruiting new followers.

Make no mistake, the candidacy application form resembles that of a Sales Representative, whose sole function is to solicit potential customers . The current preceptor's job is prospecting for new recruits. The compensation is Chari's "eternal gratitude" towards you.

What must one not to do to approach the Master and hope for his gratitude?

4d-don's comments: 

The main sales tactic in selling ideas, beliefs which require faith and obedience, is to use photographs and videos of crowds listening to speakers in the magazines ... the more "influential" or known the target, the better.   "Success = Numbers".   Preceptors are chosen by their "star status" (no cave-dwelling hermits here)  and their ability to motivate individuals and crowds, much like RELIGIONS do.   If their crowds are not numerous enough, then the preceptors are expected to organize "get togethers" in other towns and to get and show "numbers" in the magazines, specially of the children ...  Yes, like Religions and Cults of Personality, and spiritualist groups like Sahaj Marg(tm) they all try to grow by indoctrinating the children before they reach the age of reason, and opportunistically from birth, as the preceptors attempt to inter-marry the disciples to one another.  The youth are certainly targeted before the age of 18 yrs old, counter to the  recommendation of their Founder, Babuji ...  

The "get-togethers", the bandharas (birthday parties) and the congresses in other towns and countries are places to sell the new books, videos, iconography, and to "match" the disciples ... (the buddy method as used by religions everywhere to keep the flock "connected"... or create a favourable egregore as ordered by Chari: See here)


Your photograph is being taken at all "events",  and your image is being used to sell a spiritualist product!! (Anonymous Medium, egregore, "cult of a Person", New Religion, etc...) for a privately controlled, undemocratic "society". 

... With your permission I'm sure!!  

P.S.  And you, the membership, don't control the society ... All the wealth (money and the property) is in a private foundation (SMSF)  and controlled by a few of the "elite" (large donors and businessmen)  ... Sahaj Marg and SRCM(California-1997)  is a "dictatorship" for LIFE!!  It is set up that way!!

Divine Personality... From Sahaj Marg's Babuji and "Whispers", to Sister Kasturi and Her Disciples

Taken from an article by Élodie: "Personalité Divine", on her blog in Europe: Pour Que Vive Le Sahaj Marg.


October 14, 2013
 

Divine Personality
 

From: Whispers from The Brighter World of Chari, to the "Astral Transmission" of Chillapa from "Institute of Universal Self-Consciousness Movement (IUSCM)", or the "Divine Administration" by the followers of Sister Kasturi, one swims in delirium.


Whatever the personality who speaks, whatever the organization, Sahaj Marg reveals an apocalyptic and frightening vision of the world of the future.

 
Ultimate reality, control of the universe and its total destruction are elements of the Divine Plan developed in the Frankensteinian laboratories of Sahaj Marg.

Here's a final example given on 09/10/2013 by "Ek abhyasi", disciple of Sister KasturiThese are Excerpts of the words of Babuji as reported by him in "Divine Administration":


“Infinite or Ultimate Reality is the only Power. The creation and destruction are automatic following one another after a required interval of time as decided by the Ultimate Reality. God does not have mind otherwise He too will have to undergo the process of Bhoga of Sanskaras. God is pure power. As per plan of Nature there has always been a Divine Personality in human form to control the entire Universe. He possesses the Divine power as required in the circumstances. He comes in front only when there is a Divine necessity, otherwise He passes away unnoticed from this world. Though God always keeps a watch on the entire Universe, yet there is a freedom of action to all human beings. Divine intervention comes only when man crosses the limits in any field. In such cases Nature starts repairing work. A situation comes when even the limit of repairing work exhausts and in that case Nature adopts the process of destruction. At the time of total destruction, nothing remains and even the identities merge in the Ultimate Reality. Then again re-construction of the Universe starts. The cyclic process of Birth, Growth and Decay goes on.”

(...) 

“ Normally a Divine personality controls the universe. Incarnations come down rarely. Special Divine personality descends on earth once only at the time of close of chapter of the Universe with maximum powers possible in human form. He is nearest to the Centre/Absolute Reality. He may remain in human form or not but his control and regime extends upto Mahapralaya. The other Personality or Incarnation in human form works under the guidance of Special Personality. All are to help in the execution of His Divine Plan.”


I thought Sister Kasturi more sane than Chari, I thought Sahaj Marg could be an interesting form of spirituality.  In reality, there is nothing to save, no one to trust and focus on. All the disciples of Babuji agree on the Apocalypse and destruction to regenerate humanity.
 
The Sahaj Marg of Babuji and his disciples, whoever they are, is a pseudo-spiritual system, terribly far from any personal fulfillment, except for dreaming about the end of the world.

Better go back to a simple individual spiritual quest.

At Sahaj Marg(tm) ... But, Where Are the Grandchildren of Babuji?

Taken and translated from an article by Alexis, "Ou sont passés les petits-enfants de Babuji?",  on his blog: Le Projet Sahaj Marg... Also posted on Élodie's blog in Europe: Pour Que Vive le Sahaj Marg (comments).

Where Are the Grandchildren of Babuji?

 

Sharad Chandra Saxena has been very quiet since last June!
 

Does he not know that the website of the Society for the Development of the Mission of his grandfather, Babuji has ceased to exist ...

Would Babuji have removed him from the important role that he had given himOr was it Chari who finally decided to again muzzle the ranters as he muzzled his cousins ​​Navneet Kumar Saxena and Puneet?
 

Certainly, the lineage of Babuji is struggling to counter the influence of Chari and his grip on Sahaj Marg ...

The last archive for SocietyforBabujisMission.org.  is dated April 18, 2013.

 

Appeal to the people: Who has news from the descendants of Babuji?

Alexis ...

This Stinking Pool Of Humanity and Sahaj Marg(tm)

Taken and translated from an article by Élodie: "Cette Mare Puante de L'Humanité", on her blog in Europe: Pour Que Vive Le Sahaj Marg.

Comments by 4d-don: 

If Chari, the Master of SRCM(California-1997) (or his entourage) is smelling something foul around himself, the probability is most strong that this foul smell comes from himself or from his slavish and obedient fans, who follow their "idol" to the point of not taking care of their own families, friends and/or society.   They seem to gravitate towards the smell, not away from it.  And that is because of Chari's gift to them of this cultish fear for the future, this apocalyptic "spiritualism" which Sahaj Marg has become.  The foul smell of Fear attracts some and repels some.    

Smell, like sound and light (including many chemical toxins, poisons, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides,  etc) ... reduce in intensity with distance.  So practice "prudent avoidance".  And my suggestion to all "spiritual" seekers, if your Master smells something foul around himself, it could be YOU!! Or it could be HIM and/or his corrupt organization, or it could be his fantasies (lies)!!  It is not US or the rest of the REAL world,  we are too distant from all of YOU!  And we smell LIFE's nectar as sweet!! 

But to blame this beautiful ONE-Created world for that very unspiritual manifestation expressed in Sahaj Marg(tm) is very ostrich-like.  Sahaj Marg is in reality: Spiritualism.  Take your heads out of the sand and read your Masters' negative complaint,  then get up and go outside (out of the ashrams)  and walk in the sunshine, in Nature, and away from the source of the corruption and the SMELL (prudently avoiding?)  ...  SRCM and Sahaj Marg(tm)...  Now SIMPLY BE (spirit).  Then, BEING inside the perfection, the nectar of CREATION which has all smells, don't blame the corruption displayed by yourself or by the "creatures" around you, on the CREATOR or on its NATURE or on the "distant" US.   ... and the taste (and/or smell)  of Life can be sweet again, "as rain upon your tongue".  But you must have faith and believe!  REALLY!

Is Sahaj Marg(tm), so deceived and deluded by its self-created spiritualist dictatorship?  Does it constantly need a mirror?  Or do the "adepts", the self-appointed "elite", simply want to negatively "point at others" and foolishly claim that to be "Spirituality"??  OK... who farted?

This Stinking Pool of Humanity 

Excerpt from a speech by Chari entitled "Everything Depends on You," given in Chennai July 22, 2013 for Guru Purnima :

"(...) I told him," Babuji , I know from my personal experience of Sahaj Marg that in the end I think you'll be the only person to enter the Brighter World "- of the four or five thousand abhyasis at this time.  He said : "Yes, this seems to be the case . Maybe there there will be two or three more." You know what he said? Himself and perhaps two or three more! (...) And then nothing happens.  Gurus can come and go, India remains as it has remained, more and more corrupt, year after year.  Just see the Indian scene today, what it is, it stinks [it stinks]. So what do we do about it? Do we at least see Sahaj Marg as a small group which would, if only a little, be encouraging, comforting, and which would allow one to say, "Well, there is this small nucleus of people who try seriously to get out of this mess, this stinking pool of humanity [this stinking pool of humanity], who want to evolve and come out.  Again, as Babuji said , 'One, two, or three.'  " (...) " 


India stinks, the world is a stinking pool of humanity, but fortunately there is Sahaj Marg and if you make an effort, perhaps you have the chance to be part of two or three who will join the privileged Babuji in their Brighter World.

In the absence of the Brighter World, the Christians have the promise of Heaven, but they do not have the audacity to spit on this "stinking pool" which is humanity as does Chari.  No prejudice, he said; after having denigrated women, homosexuals and AIDS sufferers, Chari goes after the whole of humanity. What does that mean? 


It was the subject of Chari's speech "Prejudice and Self- Judgement" for the New Year, 2013:

“(…) Even this morning I received a message from my beloved Master, where he gives advice against prejudice, which means prejudging, which we have no right to do. No human being has a right to judge another human being. Even in the English language it is said, “Judge not that ye be not judged.” There is this great warning to us: If you judge, you will be judged. (…)” 

Babuji said on January 1st, that a human being should not judge another human being. Is that why Chari goes after the entirety of mankind six months later?  What contradictory messages!

It is characteristic of sects, when they fail to become attractive enough, there is nothing like trampling on others and denigrating the outside world. 

All of Chari's speeches and messages from "Whispers" boil down to a rough and simplistic idea that everything around you is Hell, it's better, much better in the mission, and if you obey and serve Chari and the SRCM well, then maybe you can enter (their Brighter World) Heaven. 

It is also characteristic of cults to offer a simplistic vision of the future world and alienate more and more the adepts.

This is what I wrote this summer:
 

Without failing to adhere to the SRCM system of meditation (Sahaj Marg(tm), the abhyasis want to believe that they are involved in shaping the future and will be the elite in that future.  But even this is far from being a given, as Chari advises them July 22nd,  in his speech titled:  "It all depends on You" (on Guru Purnima Day). When the Mission had 4 to 5,000 abhyasis Babuji would (allegedly) have told him that only 2 or 3 abhyasis would accompany him into the Brighter World.
 

Must Chari be one of those 2 or 3 peopleNothing is less certain  ...
