Is ISRC Claiming The Hermetic KYBALION?

DID Babuji write the Kybalion?

Is the Institute of Sri Ramchandra Consciousness (ISRC) now claiming the KYBALION through Babuji, without giving proper credit? Do they claim that Ram Chandra wrote these "sections" which were (also?) allegedly written by the "three initiates", and published in the "Kybalion" in 1912? The Kybalion was apparently written by "the Three Initiates", and published by the Yogi Publication Society of the Masonic Temple of Chicago, Illinois, USA. As Babuji was born in 1899, could he have been one of the "Three Initiates" at the age of 11 (or less, as the Kybalion was written prior to publication)?

Credit should be given to the "Three Initiates", the Yogi Publication Society, and the Masons of Chicago, Illinois, who in the period prior to WWl, in 1912 published a great book of philosophy, theology and physical principles, called the Kybalion, which are attributed to "Hermes Trismegestus" (thrice majectic), an alleged contemporary of Abraham, the "scribe of the gods", and who according to some legends, was originally from "Atlantis", and was the historic Thoth, the Egyptian of Pyramid era. Thoth, the patron of knowledge, secrets, writing, and scribes, is portrayed as a man with the head of an ibis holding a scribe's palette and a stylus. He was also shown as a full ibis, or sometimes as baboon.

From: IMPERIENCE from the Institute of Sri Ramchandra Consciousness (ISRC)

(Site of K.C. Narayana, son of Dr Varadachari, founder of the Sahaj Marg Research Institute (SMRI... now SMRTI) and Babuji's apparent choice for "Master and President of the SRCM". Unfortunately he passed away, and the confusion with the succession of SRCM started, culminating with the schisms of Babuji's Family, K.C. Narayana, Sister Kasturi, and other senior preceptors in India, Europe, and the USA)

http://www.imperience.org/Celebrations/2006BasanthPrinciplesRevSriKCN.htm

This article, is at the site above which is a 'break-away" group from Chari's Shri Ram Chandra Mission (SRCM). Chari has now re-registered the SRCM in California-1997, and he patented "SAHAJ MARG" as a "trade mark" in the USA,. The article seems to borrow heavily from The Kybalion, without giving the proper "references". If that is not an oversight or is an error, and that the claim that it is from the writings of Ram Chandra, the Founder of SRCM, registered in India under the "societies act", are correct, then it seems to be a case of "plagiarism" on the part of Babuji, as the date of Publishing of the Kybalion is 1912.

I have shown the article's "list of Principles" (nine (9)), and underneath, the "Principles" (seven (7), from the sections in the Kybalion so as to show the exact wording of each original "principle". All important claims are in "hypertext" for referencing.

The Principle No.1- The Principle of Mentalism has been changed, to The Principle of Consciousness, and the two Principles, No. 4- The Principle of Invertendo, and No. 5- The Principle of Parallelism, are additions by the ISRC author. (K.C. Narayana?) making a list of "nine" as opposed to the mystical "seven" or the spiralling octave (8). (Seven colors of the rainbow (light), seven notes to the western music scale (sound), etc... etc... Raja Yoga, the "eightfold" path, 24 notes (3 x 8) Indian music scale). Why NINE?

NOW the ARTICLE from IMPERIENCE

(...and the PRINCIPLES and the Philosophy of the Natural Path):

Philosophy of the Natural Path

(...)

Master has clearly stated certain fundamental principles and in this article I state them with the anticipation that the readers will read the original works of the Master Sri Ramchandraji Maharaj of Shahjahanpur, India.

1. The Principle of Consciousness.

“THE ALL” IS Consciousness. The Universe is of the nature of Consciousness. This principle refers to the Natural understanding that everything in the universe, matter and energy, is a form of consciousness. Rocks, trees, people, planets and constellations are all Consciousness at different levels of density. This suggests the unity of all things, as well as the latent power of the human mind.

From the Kybalion

I. THE PRINCIPLE OF MENTALISM

"THE ALL IS MIND; The Universe is Mental." -- The Kybalion. This Principle embodies the truth that "All is Mind."

2. The Principle of Correspondence

“As above, so below, as below, so above.” In one sense, this law states that the “whole” of a body is reflected in one “part.” This has been referred to in physics as the holographic nature of the Universe. This law describes many natural relationships, such as a cell of an organism containing the entire genetic information of the whole body. In spiritual life we understand as in the microcosm so in the macrocosm.

From the Kybalion

II. THE PRINCIPLE OF CORRESPONDENCE

"As above, so below; as below, so above." -- The Kybalion.

3. The Principle of Vibration

“Nothing is in a state of rest; everything moves; everything vibrates.” Everything vibrates, and its vibratory rate determines its quality and place in the world. A person, for example, can have a high vibration (peace, happiness, confidence, esteem) or a low vibration (depression, hate, greed, jealousy, fear, etc). Through methods of the Natural Path, one can change a low vibration to a high vibration, and move steadily in spiritual life.

From the Kybalion

III. THE PRINCIPLE OF VIBRATION

"Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates." -- The Kybalion.

4. The Principle of Invertendo

The flow of consciousness through vibrations inverts itself as it moves from the higher levels to lower levels and vice-versa. This inversion is the basis for formation of knots and consequent concentration of power within the knots.

5. The Principle of Parallelism.

The Divinity is the base of everything. It is self contained and is in a state of dynamic balance. It is found in everything as an active principle. Divinity when it manifested created an outward expression of itself which reached its Zenith in the human beings. Master calls the former ie. The presence of Divinity in everything is a function of the Line of Divinity. The manifestation of the Divinity is called by him as the Line of humanity. Since they are from the same source and of the nature of consciousness they are parallel. But nature of the Line of humanity is towards manifestation and activity while that of the Line of divinity is self contentedness and balance. Therefore though they are parallel the Line of humanity runs apparently in the opposite direction. All sadhana has to be to reduce the activity of the Line of humanity and bring it in consonance with the nature of divinity or balance

6. The Principle of Polarity

“Everything is Dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled.” The law of polarity teaches us to see things as localized on a continuum between two opposite “poles”, or extremes. Good and Evil are two poles within which we place every form of conduct or nature and are essentially relative. Among other things, this law aids us to see a grander, more unified view of all that exists.

From the Kybalion

IV. THE PRINCIPLE OF POLARITY

"Everything is Dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled." -- The Kybalion.

7. The Principle of Rhythm

“Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates.” The law of rhythm helps us to see the patterns that are an inextricable part of life as it relates to time. Days, nights, breaths, sleep, and wake cycles, the birth and death of nations, people, and solar systems all follow the law of rhythm. By being aware of these rhythms, we are able to make decisions, form and break habits, and see the possible outcomes of actions, and understand the world in which we live.

From the Kybalion

V. THE PRINCIPLE OF RHYTHM

"Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates." -- The Kybalion

8. The Principle of Cause and Effect

“Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is but a name for Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the Law.” We learn through this that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. There are no phenomena which do not have a cause or which is not the effect of something else. By carefully studying life with this law in mind, we come to be more aware of our actions and ourselves.

From the Kybalion

VI. THE PRINCIPLE OF CAUSE AND EFFECT

"Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is but a name for Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the Law." -- The Kybalion

9. The Principle of Gender

”Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles; Gender manifests on all planes.” The law of gender states that in the creation of anything, two forces are necessary: an active (masculine) force, and a passive (feminine) force. It is to be noted that this law is not limited to biological events.

From the Kybalion

VII The Principle of Gender

"Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles; Gender manifests on all planes." -- The Kybalion

These Principles describe the laws of nature as expressed in the Philosophy of Natural Path. Their breadth is wide enough to illustrate phenomena as diverse as electricity, emotions, cosmology, ecology, etc. Understanding these laws allows one to use them to act in a manner harmonious with Nature and life. Though simply stated, the principles are extraordinarily profound in meaning, and one’s comprehension of these laws increases as one attains higher levels of awareness.

From the Kybalion

The Seven Hermetic Principles, upon which the entire Hermetic Philosophy is based, are as follows:

THE PRINCIPLE OF MENTALISM.
THE PRINCIPLE OF CORRESPONDENCE.
THE PRINCIPLE OF VIBRATION.
THE PRINCIPLE OF POLARITY.
THE PRINCIPLE OF RHYTHM.
THE PRINCIPLE OF CAUSE AND EFFECT.
THE PRINCIPLE OF GENDER.

These Seven Principles will be discussed and explained as we proceed with these lessons. A short explanation of each, however, may as well be given at this point.

THE ESSENTIAL KYBALION

Excerpts from THE KYBALLION

- by The Three Initiates

"The lips of wisdom are closed, except to the ears of Understanding"

"Where fall the footsteps of the Master, the ears of those ready for his Teaching open wide."

"When the ears of the student are ready to hear, then cometh the lips to fill them with Wisdom."

"The Principles of Truth are Seven; he who knows these, understandingly, possesses the Magic Key before whose touch all the Doors of the Temple fly open".

"THE ALL IS MIND; The Universe is Mental."

"As above, so below; as below, so above."

"Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates."

"Everything is Dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled."

"Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates."

"Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is but a name for Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the Law."

"Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles; Gender manifests on all planes."

"Mind (as well as metals and elements) may be transmuted, from state to state; degree to degree; condition to condition; pole to pole; vibration to vibration. True Hermetic Transmutation is a Mental Art."

"Under, and back of, the Universe of Time, Space and Change, is ever to be found The Substantial Reality - the Fundamental Truth."

"THAT which is the Fundamental Truth-the Substantial Reality--is beyond true naming, but the Wise Men call it THE ALL."

"In its Essence, THE ALL is UNKNOWABLE."

"But, the report of Reason must be hospitably received, and treated with respect."

"The Universe is Mental--held in the Mind of THE ALL."

"THE ALL creates in its Infinite Mind countless Universes, which exist for aeons of Time--and yet, to THE ALL, the creation, development, decline and death of a million Universes is as the time of the twinkling of an eye."

"The Infinite Mind of THE ALL is the womb of Universes."

"Within the Father-Mother Mind, mortal children are at home."

"There is not one who is Fatherless, nor Motherless in the Universe."

"The half-wise, recognizing the comparative unreality of the Universe, imagine that they may defy its Laws--such are vain and presumptuous fools, and they are broken against the rocks and torn asunder by the elements by reason of their folly. The truly wise, knowing the nature of the Universe, use Law against laws; the higher against the lower; and by the Art of Alchemy transmute that which is undesirable into that which is worthy, and thus triumph. Mastery consists not in abnormal dreams, visions and fantastic imaginings or living, but in using the higher forces against the lower--escaping the pains of the lower planes by vibrating on the higher. Transmutation, not presumptuous denial, is the weapon of the Master."

"While All is in THE ALL, it is equally true that THE ALL is in ALL. To him who truly understands this truth hath come great knowledge."

"The possession of Knowledge, unless accompanied by a manifestation and expression in Action, is like the hoarding of precious metals-a vain and foolish thing. Knowledge, like wealth, is intended for Use. The Law of Use is Universal, and he who violates it suffers by reason of his conflict with natural forces."

"To change your mood or mental state-change your vibration."

"To destroy an undesirable rate of mental vibration, put into operation the principle of Polarity and concentrate upon the opposite pole to that which you desire to suppress. Kill out the undesirable by changing its polarity."

"Mind (as well as metals and elements) may be transmuted from state to state degree to degree. condition to condition pole to pole; vibration to vibration."

"Rhythm may be neutralized by an application of the Art of Polarization."

"Nothing escapes the Principle of Cause and Effect, but there are many Planes of Causation, and one may use the laws of the higher to overcome the laws of the lower."

"The wise ones serve on the higher, but rule on the lower. They obey the laws coming from above them, But on their own plane, and those below them they rule and give orders. And, yet, in so doing, they form a part of the Principle, instead of opposing it. The wise man falls in with the Law, and by understanding its movements he operates it instead of being its blind slave. Just as does the skilled swimmer turn this way and that way, going and coming as he will, instead of being as the log which is carried here and there-so is the wise man as compared to the ordinary man-and yet both swimmer and log; wise man and fool, are subject to Law. He who understands this is well on the road to Mastery"

"True Hermetic Transmutation is a Mental Art."

How To Become A "Saint", By Chari!

So our business is to teach the truth through meditation: you meditate; you do the cleaning. You remove all the moss from the trunk of the tree, or the green things on the water surface, clean it; or the dust from a mirror, classic example. You remove the dust and the mirror reflects. You don’t change the mirror. So cleaning removes the dust of, the accumulation of, I don’t know how many aeons of living we have done. You look in and you perceive the truth. Having perceived the truth, (you, not having perceived "sainthood" as kasturi has, according to your Master, you live a lie that has been "conjured" up by your "medium for hire", and you live a lie of teaching the path to "sainthood" without having any credentials of having the "gift" of being a "saint" confirmed by anyone in authority. You made your own "authority"... and show your ego. You will still go and sit on your throne at your (2009) "birthday bash", much like dictator "Mugabe" of Zimbabwe, and other egotistical and self-titled and self-styled saviour of their people (according to the "dictators" themselves, through their "henchmen")) you cannot live by a lie again. That is how transformation comes.

Saints are not created by God. Saints create themselves, through this process. You may call it asceticism, you may call it askesis, you may call it anything. (and you, you don't know what to call it as you don't know how it feels to "be one" (saint) ... you can only say, much as most autocrats: "subject to my regimen" and "keep me happy under all circumstances" and you will get it "later"... when I'm gone!! In the other world...) But it is a process of voluntarily subjecting yourself to a regimen of discipline in which you go in a sinner, and at the other end of the tunnel, out comes a saint. (it did not work for you, except according to you and a few "profiteers" and "addicts to the "shiny" ashrams, with golden lions, and marble, or, the "material" ) So I hope all of you will follow this practice of Sahaj Marg assiduously, knowing what it can do, (look at me! eh? You too can "UNITE" the world in "brotherhood", and care about "the environment" as I (Chari) did? NOT...

The Reality Check: You DIVIDED what was UNITED, and you removed (through your preceptors, who you now blame for the "destruction of love" ) the "love, forgiveness, and "brotherhood" that was already there ... You lure or attract the "negative" (materialists, power addicted, profiteers, etc..), not to transform them but to use and manipulate them. And you divide the "positive", the do-gooders, and/or the true seekers from one another, unlike your Master, Babuji.) feeling what it is doing to you all the time that you are meditating, and believing that the outcome will be exactly what I said.

No...Wrong... The outcome will be, and IS quite different ...it is a DIVIDED outcome, ... not a "saintly" feeling at all, and not as you said at all!


You and your "Method" are a scam!!

What is Lalaji's REAL lineage? Sufi, Santmat, or ... ?

4d-Don's comment: It seems that "re-naming" and "usurping" is the common practice in the "spirituality" business in India!! Give something a new name, and it's yours. At least among this "gang"!! We will have to coin new MATERLIALIST phrases for their modus operandi: Spiritual development... Spiritual tourism...Spiritual fundamentalism... Spiritual Business ... etc... etc...

God is not only a "male" (Chari) but a "business MAN" ...
(Now we have another group that want "Charitable development money" from the "corrupt and materialist West".)

Ah! the Materialist and Spiritualist India! What can they teach us that is better than another Materialist RELIGION? Should we not be teaching them? Is there any true SPIRITUALITY left in India? In the world?

Is there now more spirituality (as there are material resources) in the WEST? Is that the reason for the desire of so many spiritual citizens of the world to MIGRATE to the shores of the NEW (brighter?) WORLD? Intellectual "brightness" is certainly not reflected in Sahaj Marg, where intellect and its tool, logic, are sacrificed to the feudal "blind obedience" to the LORD and MASTER (Male). Western material "brightness" (Charitable money) is certainly desired by the businessmen "spritual set" of INDIA for the development of yet another of their many "new religions". (75,000 gurus)

When I asked about the absence of references to Sant Mat on his website, Dinesh Kumar Saxena said this:

Dear and respected brother!

Thanks. There is much difference between Sufism and "Sufi nisbat". In fact sufi nisbat is "santmat". I do not understand about your question. I also do not want the clarification, because it does not serve any purpose. I would advice you to follow the path what so ever are already following. You would not be able to under stand the "sufi nisbat", unless we sit face to face. This in fact the knowledge to be to be transmitted man to man and not through merely words.

I hope you will not mind my plain and simple dialogues.

With my Master's love

On his website, Dinesh said: "Mahatma Ramchandra (Laalaaji) Maharaj of Fatehgarh (UP) was a saint-preceptor of Naqshbandiya-nisbat Sufi (esoteric-lineage)."

Naqshbandiya = Sufi nisbat = sant mat?

So why no reference to Radhasoami?

Lalaji and would therefore not be a Master of Sufism, but of Sufi nisbat... but what about Santmat?

Laalaaji Nilayam Charitable Trust

In a website created on 26 February 2009, the grandson of Lalaji, Dinesh Kumar Saxena tells us that he created a charitable organization, the Laalaaji Nilayam Charitable Trust (LNCT) at: www.adhyaatmadhaaraa.org). Its goal is to raise funds to rehabilitate the "holy places" that have marked the life of Lalaji and organize tourist pilgrimages. It is planned to renovate the house of Lalaji (Laalaaji Nilayam) and to increase its capacity, to erect a life-size statue of Lalaji and to acquire many other places of worship.

The oldest male of the Holy Family represents Lalaji, he is also at the head of NaqshMuMRa (Naqshbandiya Mujaddidiya Mazhariya Ramchandriya). So today the role goes to Dinesh Kumar, retired from the railways since 2002 and soon 65 years old, since the death of his elder brother in 1974. Previously, this function was performed by Akilesh Kumar (28/06/41-15/05/74) who was not 3 years old at the death of his father and who died before he was 33 years old, but who still had the time to create a periodical entitled "adhyaatma dhaara. Their father, Narayan or Jagmohan Narain (2/11/01-28/08/44), preceded them from 1931 to 1944.
In fact, it should be a little more complex than that: when you look at their Sufi "golden chain", (see here also for a different "golden chain") we see other intermediaries characters, but Dinesh does not mention them ...

Clearly, Dinesh says that Lalaji was not only the "aadiguru" of Sahaj Marg, but especially the one and only great spiritual master of the non-Islamic Naqshbandi Sufi lineage, following the teaching of the great Sufi saint Hazarat Maulana Fazal Ahmad Khan Sahib Raipur who he followed from 1911, for 16 full years. However, Dinesh does not say a word about the teachings of Sant Mat that he would have followed ...

According to Dinesh, his grandfather "Laalaaji is eternally waiting for those who have yet to come." He would have said in effect: "the task which could not be achieved during my life time, it would be the prime duty and the best charity of my forthcoming generations, to complete it."

So it is what NaqshMuMRa and LNCT through Dinesh are doing today, but not only them because Dinesh also cites the SRCM, the Sahaj Marg and Chari, but without adding a word about the descendants of Babuji or Kasturi or Narayana's (ISRC) ... This is also true (there is mention... (see here) ) of Ramashram satsang led by the successors of some great disciples of Lalaji, the Akhil Bhartiya Santmat Satsang (ABSS), which follows the teaching of Brij Mohan Lal (nephew Lalaji) or even the Golden Sufi Center initiated by Radha Mohan Lal (another nephew of Lalaji). An interesting eclecticism ... especially after the harsh words of Babuji in 1963 about the Sufi teachings in India.

Who will be at the head of NaqshMuMRa and the LNCT tomorrow? Apparently, the descendants of Raghubal Dayal, brother Lalaji, are now excluded. Women also! So will it be the son of Akilesh, Vinay Kumar born in 1965 or Samir Kumar in 1970? Or will it the responsibility of the son of Dinesh, Himanshu Vikram born in 1980?

SRCM(tm)... The Global Picture! The Gazis?

Taken and translated from a comment by "cri-cri" on Elodie's French Blog: Pour Que Vive Le Sahaj Marg

Cri-cri (Christian) was an abhyasi with Chari for 18 years. He has a Phd in, and is working as a, research psychologist and is also a "psycho linguist". See his blog (in French with some English): Analyse de la SRCM

Note: Cri-cri use of the word: "Mazie" as a play on "Nazi" and "Mondiale" the french word for "Global". So the English equivalent is "GAZI" which means: Global Nazism or Global Fascism as opposed to "National Fascism.

(PS: 4d-Don's edits are in "red italics").

About the "divine light", precisely. Let us take the time to look at it more closely, it is interesting ...

What is the most powerful cult in France, which, as in the USA, has the support of the power establishment because it operates in its wings since the Revolution? What is the most powerful lobby in France, which as in the USA, is controlling public opinion and politics in the country? What relationship is there between Satanism, the Illuminati, globalism, the famous lobby that does not exist, and France? What relationship do these factors have, apparently unconnected with one another, with the drifting of the teachings of Babuji at the SRCMtm? What causes this sulfuric relationship between the United Nations, a supranational organization of Shadow Governments, used for the judicial review of nations, and the SRCMtm? Why was Babuji contacted by the United Nations, an organization led by Gazis (Global Fascists-see note above)) since the time of its creation as a League of Nations?

Apart from the fact that the SRCMtm uses the same models and the same manipulative methods as the Gazis, which provides us a trail with which to assume that it has been infiltrated and is aligned, a key theological point has gone unnoticed by all. However, it is fundamental, basic and subtle. It is common to all mystical and religious systems, as so many that have been given to humanity by the Gazis, pyramids as control mechanisms, integrated into the global Tower of Babel (the UN - Biblical reference).

In religion as in the Sahaj Marg, there is a constant reference to the divine light. The divine light is an a priori given, that everyone accepts without thinking, never again to think of questioning this. Babuji speaks, sometimes using the terminology of "divine light" as a synonym for God, and placing the "divine light" as the basis for the practice, since it is the "divine light" in our heart, upon which we are asked to meditate.

Satanists and Freemasons, like Christians and Muslims are all servants of the "divine light", some being atheists and others believers, depending on whether they are in its worship or not. Some differences of refinement exist in the manner of coming together in its service and adoration, as required by the form of dogmas and practices, and to adapt the system to the general mystical culture and psyche of the individuals. At the front of the stage at the historical-political sideshow, every system presents its supreme and its cults, rituals and myths, which are all essentially the same practice.

All are subjugated by the notion of hierarchy as our "god's" representation is reduced to the archetypal father, superior, supreme and absolute. The followers are naturally the infants at the bottom of the pyramid and they hope to climb the ladder to get a place in the sun (...get to "adult" status, free and responsible), usually after death - ie never . Priests (preceptors) are busy at the intermediate levels, and all look towards the top, where the elite and God keep the "light" of the latter in the pure air of the social heights.

As we seek to return to its roots, let us recall that theologians define Lucifer, the "angel of light", as a fallen angel because he (male) separated from God. Lucifer is an angel (archangel?). Starting from this idea of degeneration, theologians have developed the idea of rebellion and depravity, and the "angel of light" (Lucifer) has become the symbol of evil, then evil itself. However, it is a recent mythological development (middle-ages) by the Religions of the Book. In antiquity, especially among the Greeks and the Romans, Lucifer, god of light and knowledge, retained its full original meaning of "bearer of light". Lucifer was seen as beneficial and positive.

Thus, the planet Venus was called Lucifer because it heralds the arrival of the morning sun. More surprisingly, Lucifer would have been the name respectfully given to Jesus (the) Christ in his lifetime, "the bearer of light" (ref). Because this is the etymological meaning of the word "lucifer", it did not initially mean evil or demonic.

Light is the first manifestation of God (the Creator), ITS first creation. (see below (*): Christian Bible (KJV) - Genesis 1-3)

The "angel of light" is demeaned because it is expelled by God, mechanically, by the mere fact of creation.

Lucifer (light) is the master and the administrator of the world. God is the creator of the world, and its director is Lucifer. God does not administer, IT creates and delegates.

Lucifer, the nearest cosmic (mythical?) entity to God, is the transient with a double power. If it is the one that leads us to God and enlightens us and guides us during our journey, it is also that which masks the subtlety of the CREATIVE NOTHINGNESS by his (male) luminance.

Lucifer is the creature, which is opposed in essence to God the Creator.

He is not opposed to God as stated in Christian theology, because he (allegedly) revolted against God, but he is opposed because he does not belong to the same (state of) Reality.

Lucifer is the flagship of the universe, wherever we look, he reveals to us the access to God himself. (the SHE/HE/IT).

Finally, the existence of Lucifer informs us that the "Creation process" continues as we speak, that from the CREATIVE NOTHINGNESS something continues to escape, that powers the great universal machine.

Lucifer or God, which of the two is the true spiritual goal? We believe that it is God. Yet what are the Gazis doing through the spiritualist and religious systems, they ask us to worship the "divine light" as if it were God? Are they not leading us astray, even at the root of our approach, by focusing us on the top of the pyramid instead of out of it?

Then, by focusing the minds on something other than what was said to be the "goal", is the true goal not to prevent something particular from happening in the bosom (heart) of humanity? Who is causing the confusion in manipulating these belief systems and spiritual teachings that are given to humanity?

When a religion such as Christianity teaches us to worship the Christ (= Lucifer), the only son of God (= first creation), and to venerate the "divine light" as the glory of the Holy Spirit (= first event), are we not in a system that is organically Satanist, which teaches its followers to worship Lucifer without telling them, while making them believe that they will love and serve God, and that they should fear Lucifer as evil and the enemy of God? Why do we fear Lucifer? The schizophrenia of the human mind is obviously caused by design. By whom and for what purpose?

As is shown to us in the developments inside the SRCMtm, what we consciously believe is irrelevant, because to the "divine light" we are all equal, so we are all interchangeable. Also, the SRCMtm accepts in its totalitarian system, any "person" (= non-individual) regardless of gender, ethnicity, culture, nationality and beliefs, unless those beliefs put in doubt the process of submission to the top of the pyramid (in which case the sect gives a pariah status to these individuals: they become like Lucifer, the fallen angel because they rebelled against God and refused to serve).

Since today, part of humanity is awakening to a higher level of mental development, in which religious schizophrenia based on the Manichean opposition of good and evil no longer functions to control the masses, Gazis offer us an update of their mental software with the new religious-mystical panacea for centuries to come. Among the candidates, Sahaj Marg has the advantage over earlier religions of being a more subtle schizophrenia, more difficult to detect, which would be beyond this duality of good and evil - though.

Yet, like all other religious/spiritual belief systems that invade and degrade humanity, Sahaj Marg complies strictly in the same way as any logical monotheism.


The teachings of Babuji are inherited from Sufism and Hinduism, of which they keep the same basic manipulative patterns, respectively: the pyramid and the God-man. Via its inherited Islam, is an ancient mystical knowledge that existed in the Middle East since the beginning of history. Via its inherited Hinduism, to which Sahaj Marg is directly linked by affiliation to the spiritual avatar Krishna, it incorporates an antediluvian relic that may have some common origin with the founders of the Egypt of the Pharaohs. This can be seen from the Hindu myths relating to the antediluvian civilization of Hind. It (Hind) would have amounted to the Aryan territory, which included India and the Middle East (where Mecca was a place of Shiite pilgrimage), then extended from Central Asia to Western Europe and the North. According to academician Dumezil Georges, mythological linguistics and fossils corroborate the hypothesis of an Aryan antediluvian civilization extending over a territory as large. This is further confirmed by genetic analysis of human groups in that area of the world.

Egyptians of the Pharaoh period are known to have had a devoted worship to the "divine light" as symbolized by the supreme sun god. (Ra) But it is not the only civilization to have been dedicated to this cult. On the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, worship of the sun, perhaps from the same origins, was also practiced. The cult of the "divine light" is found in Jewish mythology, Judeo-Christianity and Judeo-Masonic, from which emerges the Illuminati (illumination, light), which still flirts with Satanism (or Lucifer-ism -read in its Indo Europeans roots as "light"). All these ideological systems represent manifestations of the cult of the "divine light".


Why did Babuji ask us to meditate on the "divine light in the heart" rather than on God? Can someone "inform" us on this sliding at the root, which it seems to be, and which is not without consequences?

It is not surprising that monotheism creates a violent society and a psychology of conquest, competitiveness and domination, and an equally pathological psychology of masochistic submission, a servile passion for faith, devotion and "sacrificial" love.

On the one hand, to be closer to God, one must climb the levels, so the struggle against others for one's own ascent (eg abhyaisis competing with Preceptors for a physical nearness to the Master and to be noticed by him/her). This fratricidal struggle, called a "spiritual brotherhood" by SRCMtm, rests on the lower levels and is sustained by the vital energy of the slaves at the base (= devotional activism). To be close to God, one must also increase the stature of the structure so as to climb higher, therefore, one must expand the base to make this possible. That means ever more people enslaved in round-ups of the masses in the name of their own salvation, for which Chari is asking his prefects to provide figures. We're in a paradigm of quantity, ie materialistic.

On the other hand, to serve God, we must submit, and as God is absolute, the submission can be nothing less than total. You see, the pyramid, the Promethean tool of civilization, is the cause of totalitarianism which originates outside of humanity and which is imposed on the human animal, so as to take it to the meat company (slaughter house) submissive to the point of gratefulness (to a "thank you"). With the pyramid, the human soul is set in motion in an aspiration to rise, and is then restricted in a pyramidal structure by the constraints generated by this desire for elevation. This is called mental engineering, and the origins of this system is not human but was implanted on Earth, in the Middle East, several millennia ago.

A model imposed by whom and for whom?


Monotheism, ie the worship of the "divine light", in place of the cult of the CREATIVE NOTHINGNESS, is nothing other than applying the model of the pyramid to spirituality, that is to say to life, and to channel and to use it. Monotheism is Satanism.

The model of the pyramid is the heavenly hierarchy in creation. The pyramid is thus a logical system that has nothing to do with God but with the creation, nothing to do with the Creator, but with the creature. At the top of the building is not God, but the administrator of the constitution, the only son of God, Lucifer (Light).


If we want a truly liberating new paradigm for the future, we must stop practicing Satanism in its various forms. God means the end of pyramids in our humanity. This is the end of religions and Satanism, and that is the end of myths. Yet, the onus is still on us to see the most subtle of mythic hoaxes so as to have a chance to really change things and finally liberate humanity which is now a prisoner in a mental trap that is particularly invasive.

According to Babuji, there is no God one can pray to, because God has no mind. So how do we achieve it? According to Babuji, yet it is not even possible to reach God in our lifetime. He relates in fact his own attempt to cross the final boundary that separates us from God, and the failure which he faced. Our only option would be to draw close to God as much as possible and to continue this journey without end (and probably without beginning). Also,who lies to us, offering us the realization of God as a cheap product? Is it possible to reach God and how does it work? If this is not possible, what does one achieve when one reaches Realization? Does one become like Christ, the only son of God, the living God, Lucifer?


We accused Chari of usurping the role of Spiritual Master.

He usurps nothing when he dishonestly leaves out the Sufi origins of Sahaj Marg, while using violence and physical force to achieve his ends, or when he sets aside Lalaji and Babuji to fully occupy the Central position of the spiritual Master sitting at the top of the (pyramidal) Structure. By becoming the center and the top, he is instead perfectly consistent with the theory of the "living Master" of Babuji and the Sufis, the incarnation of God in charge of guiding the aspirants and to serve them. However, that has to be his goal.

Yet, like other followers of Babuji who made an immortal image of Babuji, forever filling the role of guide, Chari also denies Babuji's ultimate spiritual realization. Wasn't Babuji not supposed to have achieved total negation in his lifetime? However, by speaking from the afterlife through a medium, Babuji continues to exist as an individual human who survived death (!!!) when he was supposed to have lost his individuality in the process. Chari implicitly puts into question the status of divine Babuji, as Babuji did with Lalaji, by intercommunicating with him, and he tainted his spiritual lineage of a subtle form of existence which can only degenerate into idolatry with time. However, this is not usurpation, it is " imagination", attachment and auto-satisfaction and a misuse of powers of the mind under the influence of individual desires and external manipulations. Chari, not assuming this fully, and still subject to the guilt of his actions, attempts to clear these feelings by using an intermediary, the medium. This professional "medium" is responsible for making the communication credible (= messages do not come from Chari, so it can not be a fraud on his part), as well as to strengthen the legitimacy of Chari through the information "received " .

The usurpation of the role of Master takes place at an invisible level, that of the conceptual structure of the system that Chari has custom built himself, and under the influence of a manipulation that is invading from outside. Chari essentially introduced a basic drifting of the teachings, by an inversion of the values in the doctrine of Sahaj Marg. He organizes, directs, and controls, instead of surrendering to the divine will. With Chari, the Master is no longer a servant of humanity who is dedicated to the abhyasis so as to make them totally dependent assistants, but a predator, who hunts, who subdues and demands. Chari makes his abhyasis slaves in his service on the pretext that devotion is synonymous with evolution, not hesitating to call upon apocalyptic terror to instill a sense of urgency among his followers, promoting irrationality, and making them willing to accept anything.

From one dependency to another, you might say, what's the difference? If the result seems to be the same; it is not. In the first case, the basic principles of spirituality are respected, the abandonment and love of the disciple occur. In the second case, the abandonment does not exist in the real sense of the word. This submission is caused by the rape of the free will of the individual through deception, intimidation of his intelligence and manipulation. The same is true of real love (replaced by servility and sentimentality), service (replaced by activism so as to be noticed and loved by the guru), respect (fear of hell or reincarnation) and sacrifice. Sacrifice will never exist in such a society, based on personal gain, be it expressed in spiritual terms (release points, etc.)..or not. It encourages competition and profit, ie selfishness of its members. This is the Gazi tactic of all systems based on fear rather than confidence: they divide and conquer.

In both cases however, the dependence of the believer which follows the process indicates that the foundations of the approach is incorrect, and they are because everything happens within the pyramid. Can it be otherwise?

Chari usurps the role of Master in fully realizing the totalitarian potential of the pyramid of power based on a materialist conception of spirituality, while assuming his own divinity so as to politically abuse in a human society. Lack of ethics? Not at all: "The end justifies the means". This is Gazi ethics, and a different ethics which of course evolves differently depending on whether one is at the top or at the base of the pyramid.

By doing so, Chari does nothing but realize the final agenda of the Satanist Gazis, contained in the teachings of Sahaj Marg and held in seed form, inherited from their legacy of Islam and Hinduism. Chari relegates the divine to the background, as a mystery of faith, and as the unknowable, and therefore unattainable. So while with Babuji, God was a promise ever near at hand, with Chari, God becomes a pretext and an instrument of power, as in any religion. With Chari, God is lost in the dazzling and the fascinating " divine light", whose advantage is to hide the crass ignorance of the guru in the field of spiritual guidance. Promise Kept?

Celebration of SRCM(California-1997) Master's Birthday!

Taken from a translation of an article by Alexis on Elodie's French Blog: Pour Que Vive le Sahaj Marg

Alexis has a blog called: SRCM=Danger and one called: Le Projet Sahaj Marg, translated to:
The Sahaj Marg Project.


4d-Don said: Does this "channeled" message not smack of "EGO" to some of you? Someone (a living person) made this up and it was not "BABUJI" ... Receiving messages from the dead (ghosts, spirits, etc..) is called "spiritualism" ... not spirituality and certainly not "Raja Yoga".

The "Freudian slip" of the typo in the message: "heat" rather than "heart", and then later: "blaze" (as in a "fire") when refering to the Mission, could be a manifestation of their autonomous "egregore" (Groupthink) taking on a life of its own. It would seem that at the SRCM(California-1997) the red (lower) frequencies of emotions that create "heat" are increasing rather than the cooler "blue" (higher frequencies) of intellectual and the upper "chakras" of spirituality. The abhyasis (and their families, friends, etc...) are the ones being "burned" to create this emotional "heat".

The (synchronistic) similarity of increase in "heat" and "blaze", and the religious concept of "hell" do not go un-noticed.

First the "flood" at the Ashram, then the "fire" and the "blaze" that will "lend credibility" to the autonomous "egregore"? (notice the word: "lend"... not "give"!! A loan has to be paid back. Look for further emotions after the "party". Look for a "hang-over" just as with other "addictive substances" such as with the "opiates of the Masses"...religion, with its egotistical and orgasmic pomp and ceremony! Add to this recipe, a large touch of "nationalism".)

Babuji or any "enlightened" person would not constantly appeal to the "lower chakras" (heat, blaze) and counsel against using the "upper chakras". That is why the "philosophers" and the "saints" can not in good conscience adhere to this Group ... There is an absence of the qualities of "spirituality" (love, forgiveness, UNITY) and "intellect", and an over-emphasis on lower-chakra "emotions"! Not very elevating!

83 Years Old Soon

Kasturi was well informed. The only major event held by the SRCM(California-1997) this year is celebrating Chari's 83rd anniversary. Forgotten are Lalaji and Babuji, they (SRCM California-1997) are focusing on the only Master who really counts! Forgotten also is the site of Vadodara / Baroda in Gujarat, (where the celebration was to take place) mentionned two years ago, it is finally at Tiruppur in Tamil Nadu that will take place this Bandara ...

And it is (apparently) Babuji himself who announced this from his "Brighter World":


An Era of Hope and Opportunity

"... Prepare yourself for this birthday celebration, it will show to my son once again his growing importance from one year to another in the heat (heart?) of our brothers and sisters. He is loved and his action bears its fruit, beyond our hopes. May the blessed day of his birth on Earth go down in the history of our Mission as an event to remember. It makes it blaze and lends credibility to it. Be happy to be, once again, in this incarnation, living in the wake of this exceptional being ... "

Babuji Maharaj, Whispers from the Brighter World.


An era of hope and opportunity? Or a little too full of opportunism?

The Guru! (According to Babuji)

Taken and translated from a comment by cri-cri on Elodie's French Blog: Pour Que vive le Sahaj Marg. (see the comment in an article called : Recettes de Cuisine Sahaj Marg by Sam

Cri-cri (Christian) was an abhyasi with Chari for 18 years. He has a Phd in, and is working as a, research psychologist and is also a "psycho linguist". See his blog (in French with some English): Analyse de la SRCM

(PS... As there is a controversy in Sahaj Marg about a "female" being a Master (The feminine equivalent of Master is Mistress) , and since Sister Kasturi acts as a "teacher, guide, Guru or Master", 4d-Don has added the "feminine" in red italics where appropriate. It is not in the original Babuji writings nor in Christian's comment.)

4d-don said:

I am officially opening: 4d-Don's Guru Counseling Services for "needy" Gurus. ;-))

When a Guru expresses openly his/her needs (desire) for his disciples to "keep your guru happy under all circumstances", then the Guru needs the disciples and the disciples do not need the Guru and they should be offered FREEDOM and LIBERATION from such a drain on their vital energies, which probably renders and leaves them emotional. It is unhealthy and not "SPIRITUAL" or Natural!

The Guru is then either sucking the disciples' vital energies, such as their emotions (love and adulation...creating ego), mind (constant thoughts or obsession), and physical (constant requests for money, time, service, etc.) much like a "vampire", or he is milking his serfs as if they were his own group "cash cow" his target market. He (the inferior Guru) also takes much of the focus and time away from the ULTIMATE and SPIRITUALITY, which is the raison d'etre of SRCM, Sahaj Marg and other such religious groups.

If your Master needs you to "make your guru happy under all circumstances", then he can't claim to teach Babuji's Sahaj Marg. Babuji's teachings and writings seem to infer that Chari's actions are evidence of his being an "inferior type of guru" ... Read below and see, using the brain as well as your "all", of course!



The GURU!

One need only read what is written by Babuji. While some people have focused people's attention on the typology of followers he had written about, and especially on the poor (bad) followers who do not do what is needed, Babuji was also committed to speaking about the bad gurus, or the risks that there are in attaching (one's self) to a guru.

Moreover, while a theological schism opposes those that had (or have) the nerve to usurp the role of "Living Master" and those who did not have the gall, but who ultimately like to play the "guru", there again, Babuji is sufficiently explicit to shine some light and to show that it is not so simple.

Some selected excerpts to put the record straight with a few comments in [brackets] so as to see things more clearly.


Excerpts from The Voice of Reality, t2 Complete Works, Ram Chandra (SRCM Publishing, 1993)


"The support of the Master," pp. 94-104


[sadhana =regulate the mind]

Appropriate regulation of the mind is essential to achieve inner peace (...). This must be the primary goal of any sadhana undertaken for this purpose. A sadhana is useless if it does not guarantee a sadhak a moderation of the trends of his mind. (...) Nearly all Sadhanas in principle have the same goal, which remains neglected.


[Robot-Guru or robot-abhyasis in the great imperial machine of the Sri Rajagopal Chari Mission = danger of getting lost]

(...) At the moment, the gurus, in their eagerness to impress people, also employ similar methods that actually take us very far from the field of spirituality. And their followers, who have lost all discernment, are unable to grasp it in its various shades and tones. They only attach to what is colored, and their mental, functioning mechanically demands nothing more than a mechanical guide, leading them by mechanical means.

Consequently, they (disciple) remain forever held back by the spells of their (guru) mechanical operations. They are not the only ones to blame in this regard. In fact, they are saturated to the point of being stunned by the slow poison which has been administered to them from the height of the soapboxes, by brilliant preachers who refer to themselves as saints and religious teachers of world renown. (...) This is the condition of the teachings and also of the teachers: the first is imbued with complacency and pride, while the second is overwhelmed by the desire of sensual pleasure, which he mistakenly took for a state of anandam.


[sadhana = abhyas + using a Living Master]


(...) The sadhana has two aspects: one, the abhyas, and the other, using the master. The abhyas are only intended to create in the abhyasi, internal conditions to attract the flow of divine grace, but it involves a personal effort. However, this personal effort is not enough by itself because it must be complemented by support from the Master. Indeed, all we need to realize our ultimate goal is God's grace and nothing else. (...) For this reason, using the Master is essential. In the early stages, divine grace flows into the abhyasi only through the Master. That's why it is often considered as the grace of the Master. That it comes through the Master's intermediary or directly, it is anyway, the same grace. Until the abhyasi is able to receive it directly, it is incumbent upon the Master to grant its benefit. Once he/she has developed the ability to attract the benefits directly, the work of the Master is virtually complete, although he/she should keep a watchful eye on him/her to protect him/her if necessary. That is the real function of a true Master.

However, the support of the teacher is an essential feature of sadhana, it is incumbent on the abhyasi to seek out a guide who is worthy of guiding him/her on the path and to help with his/her power transmitted through the process of yogic pranahuti.

[guru = servant]

(...) I do not, for the above reason, in no way advocate the Orthodox idea of a guru, because I think it is only mental slavery. Under our system, we have a common brotherhood in a spirit of mutual love, service and sacrifice that are absolutely essential in our search. We strongly condemn the idea of personal service required by the gurus on the pretext that the disciple will form pious samskaras. Nevertheless, we believe that a guide, in a spirit of service, should him/herself serve his/her disciple, not only spiritually but also physically if necessary.

[poor choice of guru=disaster]

The choice of an appropriate guide or guru is the next point to consider. The work of the guru, being the most significant and invaluable of a spiritual life, it is essential to take the necessary precautions in order to choose the man (or woman?) who will fulfill this task. The slightest mistake in this area is often quite disastrous.

[ guru= God only]

God alone is our true guide or guru and (SHE/HE/IT) only provides us light. (...)

[need for Living Master]

There is therefore a need for one of one's peers, who has enough stature to help in this direction. You can call him/her a guide, a guru, a master, or by any other name, but he/she is basically a help and a support, working in a spirit of service and sacrifice.

[superior guru= usurper]

(...) If a guru presents himself as a Master in this field, inflated by his/her sense of his/her greatness and superiority, clearly he/she has usurped the position of the true Master, God. In this case, it is quite certain he/she can not serve others as required. It is therefore essential that he/she considers him/herself as being humble and act in a spirit of love and service. He/she must devote themselves completely to the service of others, individually and collectively. This service can be physical as well as spiritual. He/she must always take care of spiritual service, but he/she must also be willing to fulfill the physical service if necessary. He/she must be devoid of any sense of grandeur, importance or pride.

[in the absence of better, take the least worse]

(...) If this person is not available at the time, the only solution is to join forces with someone who is well connected with the Great Personality because when the best is beyond our reach, we must find one who is the best after him/her.

[inept guru= null progress]

(...) The practical observation reveals that up until now, most of the sages could not reach up to these limits, except maybe some in the distant past. They lingered indefinitely in one or the other (state) without finding the exit and that, for the simple reason that most likely their guru had neither the stature nor the capacity necessary to open the path by making use of their higher powers.

[choice of guru = difficult task. Do people really choose or do they simply allow themselves to be overwhelmed?]

(...) There is no doubt that choosing a guru worthy of the name is a very difficult task.

[the difference between spiritual and idolatry]

(...) If a being is absorbed in God and another in its material manifestation, what will each one attain? One, the Reality and the other, its imitation. Should we blame God for this?

[the Master for Babuji is not Babuj, but God]

(...) I feel at one with all my associates because we are committed to the same Master, God, without the slightest idea of being elevated or lowly, big or small. Indeed, it may be that an entity, having a human form is considered big by his/her fellow humans, while in reality he/she is the smallest.


"Gita", pp. 234-235

[Blind faith also has drawbacks and does not guarantee success]

(...) Blind faith has advantages along with disadvantages. It can be of immense value when the chosen guide is really a guide of the highest level and someone who has reached the most high. But if, unfortunately, you attach yourself to someone who is not up to the mark, and who has deceived you by his/her scholarly discourses or by performing miracles, your blind faith in him will lead you in the other direction, only to illusion and deception. In this case, you do not see his/her faults since you agreed to follow him blindly. As a result, you will not be able to achieve the goal.

[first put to the test. Then look again and again]

It is therefore necessary that, before placing your faith in anyone, everyone should look twice, then again and again.



"Attachment and faith," pp. 235-237


[sectarianism=inhumanity]

(...) I believe that if one does not feel distressed by the plight of others, that person lacks the most basic humanity, or, in other words, he/she is not a man (woman...human?) . Therefore, I am not at all in agreement with those (...) who incite people to see father, mother, brother or son as their enemies. For my part, and no matter what the price whatsoever, I will never be inclined to follow this principle. Whatever their opinion, these people do, in my opinion, only lead others in a mechanism by their preaching, which could ultimately be fatal to their sacred cause. If we adopt this practice it will give rise to feelings of hatred and revulsion which are also harmful to our spiritual goal.

[Pray]

(...) Pride and arrogance are additional links to the already-existing chain of selfishness. To guard against this terrible scourge, one should remain in direct contact with God through sincere prayer as prescribed in our Mission.



"Types of gurus and disciples," pp. 285-288


[for the sheep is in the hands of the wolf]

(...) It is possible that these words seem very harsh but I am obliged to say that "for the sheep is in the hands of the wolf and the entire herd is dispersed."

[To idolize the Special Personality: reveals what kind of guru?]

(...) The gurus of the inferior type are those who tell us to revere ghosts and apparitions, and who claim to know some spells (have powers).
