Discreet Sahaj Marg? Really ?An Article by Alexis on his blog: « Le Sahaj Marg agit à sa manière, discrètement » ?!
On November 3, 1999, Babuji / Peyret (the Sahaj Marg Medium) said in a whisper: "Why should we hide?"
Today, they claim, "Sahaj Marg is on its way, discreetly" (October 20, 2015)
Discreetly, really?
The Heartfulness Meditation program implemented by Patel is the opposite of discretion. On October 31st, the Heartfulness Institute (HI) published in the
Bulletin for abhyasis (No. 2015.118) a summary of the Heartfulness approach
(see excerpts below):
No, really, Heartfulness is the opposite of discretion: "we are able to touch all sections of humanity." Heartfulness, is the setting in motion of Sahaj Marg, a vast proselytist offensive
of greater magnitude.
"Heartfulness: has a wide Social Media presence" on
Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube, LinkedIn or Instagram (see the Board (index?) of social networks, http://spiritualityfoundation.org/en-us/social). Not to mention the webinars, meetings or seminars between abhyasis on the web ...
And it is not finished...
“We hope to have TV and Podcast media available very soon.” and “Radio
City Wellness will be broadcasting two programs on their web radio
channel called ‘Radio City Wellness’ from the 16th of November until the
25th of December 2015. The Heartfulness Relaxation technique at 7:00
a.m. (IST) every morning, and 'Shanti Sutra', in which a Heartfulness
trainer will talk about a practical approach to the Sahaj Marg system

"Sahaj Marg is on its way, discreetly." To live happy, live hidden? Nothing is less true today. SRCM is no longer low profile, that period is over.
Chari proscribed (discouraged?) abhyasis discussions on the web and social networks. With the arrival of Guru 2.0 Patel is a new era that opens to Sahaj marg. In the shadow of Heartfulness, rigor ....
But Heartfulness Meditation, is in full light. This is also its sole justification. As Babuji / Peyret say: times change ...

“(...)
We all now understand the need to approach Sahaj Marg as a movement. It
is needed for ourselves as well as for the Masters’ vision of a
transformed humanity.
So,
in this landscape where meditation has become a mainstream activity,
devoid of its religious connotations, how do we differentiate ourselves?
(...) We have to approach them scientifically and, most importantly,
experientially. This is very important especially in the urban and
western worlds.
(..)
With 15-year-olds now allowed to meditate and villages opening up via
V-Connect, we are able to touch all sections of humanity.
(...)
Always follow the same steps of conducting meditation without
transmission first, as this provides a scientific comparison with the
later meditation with transmission, and thus an experiential
introduction to Sahaj Marg practice and transmission.
(...)
Heartfulness has a large Social Media presence, so you may draw the
attention of participants and also add the following links to any
printed handouts. [Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube, LinkedIn,
Instagram]
(...) We have several tools and opportunities for connecting with people to share Heartfulness on two levels: local and global.
Locally:
Online Meetup sites
(...). The Welcome Desk is an important means to
create a suitable atmosphere for newcomers in our ashrams and centers.
We have found that connecting to organizations that have their own
internal means of informing and inviting their members, such as yoga
studios, churches or temples, is most conducive. We also offer yoga and
other classes in our ashrams, especially in the West, to improve the
usage of the ashram and interaction with the community. For corporate
initiatives (C-Connect) we have a full range of programs from
multi-session courses to introductory 50-minute workshops. We have had
success from a grass roots perspective with abhyasis reaching out to
their management or HR and Wellness teams.
Globally:
The Heartfulness Institute (HI) is planning to have four occasions each
year to interact with people cohesively on a global scale:
January 1 – New Year’s Day
April 30 – Will be celebrated as ‘One World, One Humanity’ Day
June 21 – UN International Yoga Day
September 21 – UN World Peace Day
(...)
For seekers becoming more established in the practice, introduce them
to the mobile apps such as Sahaj Connect and the Heartfulness Mobile
App, to help them develop a regular practice. We hope to have TV and
Podcast media available very soon.
Creating
an Inclusive Environment: As newcomers and visitors attend group
meditation and gatherings, we will become increasingly sensitive to the
ways in which we interact and present ourselves during all gatherings
(...). We may need to use inclusive language, minimizing foreign terms
that are unnecessary while local translations are appropriate.
(...) For
each one of us, an overall attitude of care and commitment toward
newcomers can do as much as any other outreach effort. Making a personal
connection with someone new, so they feel welcome and noticed, may give
people all the encouragement and sense of belonging they need in the
beginning. At the same time, while helping and guiding newcomers, we
need to develop great patience with them, allowing them to grow at the
pace that’s right for them. Creating a welcoming atmosphere includes
harmony in the center.
(...) We
are looking for volunteers with a wide range of skills or aptitudes.
(...) Teaching, Training, Social Media, Writers,
(...) Graphic Design,
Software, Information Technology
(...) Experienced
Public Speakers Needed : HI is seeking professional and accomplished
public speakers, professors and industry experts to participate in
speaking engagements for C-Connect, U-Connect, the Omega Science and
Spirituality Clubs, and others.(...).
