HEARTFULNESS, a Radical Transformation of the SAHAJ MARG Image? 

From Spiritual seekers to consumers of well-being

Today is the anniversary of the death of Chari. One year - how time flies. Yet the current SRCM (Shri Ram Chandra Mission)  already looks very little like what it was just a year ago. It's as if an eternity had passed since his death. Has anyone even taken the time to think about it?

The Sahaj Marg of Babuji and Chari was a method for spiritual fusion with the divine. The Heartfulness Meditation of Patel is about an experience of well-being.

Sahaj Marg was (allegedly?) a unique method, relatively esoteric, reserved for a small elite club of spiritual seekers, after a short journey of initiation, and whose objective was ambitious and universal. Heartfuness is a personal development technique as there are so many in the "well-being market", an individual's target, immediate and practical.

In less than a year, they have gone from an esoteric sect to an individual "well-being market". But does it produce the same type of following?  The "abhyasis" (seeker?)  of SRCM were fanatical followers; Heartfulness targets the consumers of "well-being".

Below are illustrations with some testimonials / recent articles on the "need for spirituality" and the "benefits of meditation," all from followers of Sahaj Marg meditation, aka : Heartfuness:


Benefits of Heartfulness (Sahaj Marg Meditation offered by Shri Ram Chandra Mission)
 
Internal skills development such as clarity of mind, self-confidence, empathy, awareness and focus are just a few of the benefits of Heartfulness relaxation and meditation. Our unique cleaning technique helps in liberating oneself from those hard to get rid of habits and tendencies. We also experience higher energy in our activities and a great sense of purpose and fulfillment. In a nutshell, it strengthens our strengths, weakens our weaknesses and makes us more holistic.

The Need for Spirituality
 
Effective relaxation technique for children
In today's world, children undergo lot of stress. There is immense pressure to perform well. Fortunately there is one technique that not only helps them to relax but also improves their ability to concentrate. Their performance improves naturally.
This relaxation technique has worked wonders for my son (…). I am sure it will have the same results on your children.

 
5 Impediments to Spiritual Growth
 
1. Mindless spiritual practice
2. Desires
3. Attachments
4. Not listening to your heart
5. Lack of decision making

 
How I Lost 50 Pounds in 3 Months While Meditating in Sahaj Marg
 
Start meditating
Cut your current food intake in half
Avoid all sweets, unhealthy fats, and processed items
DON'T Calorie Count!
Eat when you are hungry
Cut your red meat/meat intake
 
Conclusion
 
After losing 50 pounds, I haven't felt better in a long time. I love how I look, and more importantly, how I feel.
I'm happy to say that after my 50-pound weight loss, I am in a normal cholesterol range, out of risk of diabetes, in a healthy weight range, along with being on no medication!

 
3 Days Without My Phone With My Guru Kamlesh Patel, And This Is What I Learned
 
1. Phone withdrawal symptoms are real
2. My surroundings became noticeable
3. My relationships grew deeper
4. As a society, we are moving away from the beauty of silence and calling it "awkward silence"
5. Everyone doesn't "need" an answer now
6. Should spaces that are meant to connect, encourage cell phones?
 
Conclusion
 
My three days was a struggle, but something that I think everyone in the professional world should experience. Not only to feel grateful for the power that technology has on all of us, but to appreciate the importance of being present.
 
For many of us, doing even three days may seem impossible. I challenge you to take a step back and analyze your priorities and what you value in your life. Start with letting go of your phone for ½ a day, or even having designated places in your home that should be focused on connecting on a human level, versus connecting on the web.

 
The search for the Divine has given way to stress management and personal well-being.  Some cited here include: developing skills, clarity of mind, confidence, empathy, inner peace, concentration, anger management, relaxation techniques, performer, (her) role as mother, calming a child, slimming diet or whether to switch between phones.

The revolution is underway. Heartfulness has very little to do with Sahaj Marg and the Shri Ram Chandra Mission. We went from the spiritual quest to a consumerist utilitarianism.

But beware, behind it remains present the historical heritage of this sectarian movement, its masters and its fanatical followers. Do not get caught in their nets with impunity.  Masked, they are more dangerous than ever.

Sahaj Marg and Vedic Hindouism

Sahaj Marg and Vedic Hinduism

According to an article of Alexis (on his blog) :

France: Le lobbying hindouiste du yoga   http://sahajmargetshriramchandramission.blogspot.fr/2015/12/france-le-lobbying-hindouiste-du-yoga.html




SRCM France at the origins of the Vedic Federation France 

June 18, 2015, the SRCM France and 7 other organizations of the "Vedic tradition," formed a new association, the Vedic France Federation.

Beside Art of Living of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and Embracing the World of Amma, this federation has 4 organizations mentioned in the list of sects of the French Parliamentary Report No. 2468 1995: Brahma Kumaris France, Shri Chinmoy Centre, Association Parisian Bhakti Yoga (eg Krishna Consciousness or ISKCON), and "to all Masters all honor", the Shri Ram Chandra Mission.  

The other 2 groups involved are the Ramakrishna Vedantic Center and TathataVrindham France.

The Association is headquartered at the headquarters of the SRCM in Paris; Ekta Bouderlique (preceptor of  Sahaj Marg) is the secretary.

Excerpts from the press release of the Vedic Federation France dated Friday, October 2nd, in Paris: 

"Launched on the advice of the Embassy of India in France and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in response to the growing aspiration of the public and the authorities, eight major associations of the Vedic tradition (...) have come together as a representative interlocutor of Vedic spirituality.

(...) The Federation, bearer of the spirit and core values ​​of the Vedas (...) will propose for it a website, conferences, yoga practices and meditation seminars, publications of articles, books, research."

 France and its territories would presently number more than 500,000 Hindus.  Yoga is one of the most popular spiritual practice in the world, with over 250 million practitioners worldwide, including at least one million in France. Last year, the UN has also decided to dedicate an International Day, ( June 21st), at the proposal of Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India.SRCM as well as its Hindu cronies expect to benefit  ...

Heartfulness Or The Hypocrisy of Spiritual Benevolence?

Translation of an article by Élodie: "Heartfulness ou l'hypocrisie de la bienveillance spirituelle", on her blog in Europe: Pour Que Vive Le Sahaj Marg.


November 15, 2015

Heartfulness Or The Hypocrisy of Spiritual Benevolence?


At the time when, prey to violence and barbarism, France tends its wounds yet again, a stunning emotion invades us. This is the time for compassion and solidarity for the City of Light which has been struck in the heart.

But beyond these immediate emotions and misunderstandings that overwhelm us, we must recognize our share of responsibility for the reprehensible destiny of these jihadists children.

Our World is not a pleasant dream, it's the least we can say. We do not offer an enchanting perspective to our youth and to our children. Of that we are totally responsible, totally and solely responsible.

It is obvious that we must give meaning to life. Benevolence and Spirituality are certainly a part of the values ​​that we have to place again in the foreground. "The 21st century will be spiritual or it will not be (exist?)."  How many times have we heard that affirmation?


There are some oriental, (Hindu, Buddhist) values, which we would do well to learn from. But all these groups who claim to be "Eastern spirituality" are not the same. Vigilance must remain the order of the day.

The Heartfulness Meditation program of Kamlesh Patel, SRCM and Sahaj Marg brilliantly exploits an opposition to darkness and the emptiness (vacuum-ness?) of our world with a supposed spiritual benevolence which they openly display.

They would have us dangle a Utopia of the "Best of Worlds" through meditation on the heart. But the ideology of benevolence spread by Heartfulness is only a hypocritical facade for some mysterious goals very  much more dark and obscure.

Let us constantly keep in mind some signals that show that Sahaj Marg is not as white as the image it wants to give us: 

Obey and serve - Pieces of Anthology on Obedience - Salient Features: #4 
http://pourquevivelesahajmarg.blogspot.fr/2009/02/morceaux-danthologie.html
 
 "(...) Obedience must be total. (...) If a man is obedient, his goal is already in sight. (...) The total obedience is what is required for those who choose or who wishes to be perfect. (...) It is not for me to think, just obey. (...) There is only freedom is that of obedience to the Master. (...) We should be like a dog, who is just happy to be at the master's feet and look at his face! Babuji, himself, used the example of the dog. So do not think I insult you. Babuji always praised the devotion of a dog for his master. It was one of his constant jokes: if you invert the word "dog" (dog) you get the word "God" (God). See, he wanted a dog-like devotion in us, unquestioning obedience. (...) Obedience is the first law of spirituality. I place it above love (...). It is not easy to love, but it is easy to obey. (...)"
Parthasarathi Rajagopalachari 


Moral Degradation, according to Chari - Speech entitled "Morality is Essential" of October 12, 2010 (Seminar for Character Development for functionaries, Chennai India):

“(…) Today I read in the newspaper, I had it read, that India has slipped in the world list of nations to tackle hunger, even though there are less hungry people in India now. The way we are doing it does not compare with the way in which other countries are doing it. People like Bill Gates, he is willing to give billions for AIDS. Even the Pope, when Babuji Maharaj and I were in the Vatican some years ago, said a special prayer for AIDS sufferers. Why specially AIDS people? This shows our moral degradation. They don’t want tuberculosis patients, paralytic patients, heart patients; the idea being that these people are rich enough to afford their own cure. That is moral degradation — when a Pope says a special prayer!

So you see, it is from below to the top or the other way down, when churches condone same-sex marriages, perform same-sex marriages. Soon a day will come when perhaps, in Athens or Barcelona or somewhere, you will find a man marrying a cow (…).” 

If churches (religions?) close their eyes and condone gay marriages, a man may soon marry a cow. That is the limit of Chari's benevolence of Chari: Bill Gates, the Pope, the religions, AIDS, sex and homosexuality are all in the same bag of his intransigence. 


With Whispers, it is the Apocalypse that is promised to us:

"Within a quarter century, the earth will experience great turmoil. This will be the beginning of a very difficult cycle for earthlings to live through. Fire will literally fall on some parts of the world, while torrents of rain will stream on others. Cataclysms will follow one another for many long years, holding in suspense the frightened of mankind. (...) In future centuries, the current configuration of the continents will be upset. (...) The atom will turn against mankind, who has not been able to domesticate it, and its overwhelming power will be devastating. (...) The mutation of this planet must go through all of these disasters, to truly perform. "(2/28/01)" Sooner or later, mistakes must be paid for; this civilization is going too far into excess. A sudden brake will be placed on this destructive system; it is in the order of things. "(09/10/04)

Mankind is speeding to its doom, divine punishment comes, it will be the Apocalypse. But a new race is looming on the horizon, an elite will save the world.

Chari was homophobic. Babuji was a racist (and sexist?) . The medium, Peyret is apocalyptic. And Patel, (what is he)?  Benevolence has never stifled (choked?)  them; not even tolerance. The history of this movement is not a bed of roses, it is made of betrayal, violence and jealousy.

For what, or for whom do they roll? But that's another good question. But not for us, for sure.

Sahaj Marg: Babuji's Grandson Does Not Disarm
 
From an article by Alexis (on his blog): Le Petit Fils De Babuji Ne Désarme Pas
 
After two years of silence, Sharad Chandra Saxena (grandson of Babuji) wakes up on http://www.babuji.org.in, disseminating a letter sent to Kamlesh Patel July 14th, 2015 (http: // www .babuji.org.in / spotlight-detail.asp? id = 119) -  read below.

Despite the legal defeat of his cousin, Navneet Kumar Saxena by the SRCM, Sharad wanted to show Kamlesh Patel that he did not stop there.

Hostilities remain open ...

My dear Mr. Kamlesh Bhai Patel,

The newspapers report about the raid by the Government agency in a big way on the premises and establishment of Sri Gopal Agarwal s/o late Kashi Ram Ji Agarwal of Shahjahanpur. The raid operation lasted for two days during this week. Sri Gopal is considered to be a prominent and honourable members of your Society.
 

I strongly feel that such things defame the Society and suitable action at the society level against such persons is the need of the hour.
 

You would be well aware that Rev. Babuji never gave undue importance to business people for the reasons best known to Him. But somehow Parthasarthi Rajagopalachari had always been after businessmen ! One thing, however, seems to be sure that to-day businessman cannot afford to be simple ?

 
Please acknowledge and with Regards.

In the service of Divine Master Rev. Babuji. Shahjahanpur (UP)

Properties: Sahaj Marg Real Estate

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

 Properties: Sahaj Marg Real Estate

 Madhuvanam Real Estate, an article by Alexis

Madhuvanam Real Estate and the society Sahaj Kalyan Gruha Pvt. Ltd. are selling a complex of 1,000 apartments on ten hectares on the site of Kanha Shanti Vanam, near Hyderabad.
  
Background: (deemed to become) The Lighthouse of SRCM , the "Mecca of Sahaj Marg" (Kamlesch D. Patel, April 10, 2015), the object of the Kanha Hyderabad Shanti Vanam project is to create a campus of 200-300 hectares according to sources, including an ashram and a colony that surrounds it. 

Stage One - 2008: Real Estate Project Committees are established to assist Santosh Khanjee and PR Krishna in searching for good real estate and / or land deals. Private projects with sometimes complex legal and tax arrangements, these "living places", in addition to housing individuals, will include a cottage for Master and a meditation room. Plots of the colony would be resold under the regulations of private companies, abhyasis will cover the costs and the possible benefits 

Stage Two: - Nothing less than four charities were created between November 2009 and March 2010 to acquire and manage this huge campus Kanha Shanti Vanam (KSV), Yashoda Kanha Shanti Vanam (YKSV), Radha Kanha Shanti Vanam (RKSV) and Devaki Kanha Shanti Vanam (DKSV). 

Stage Three: - April 26, 2015, Patel attended the erection of a statue of Babuji at the construction site of the ashram. A statue of 13 tons and almost 10 meters high, a hundred sheets of metal cast in a mold from a gold alloy of five metals. Babuji's statue now sits above a bright star-shaped building, which will itself be the focus of a future building in the shape of a heart, to show the aerial view of an esoteric symbol published in "Whispers". 

Step Four: - Current step: Madhuvanam Real Estate and society Sahaj Kalyan Gruha Pvt. Ltd. selling a complex of 1,000 apartments on ten hectares on the site of Kanha Shanti Vanam.

Situated near Hyderabad and a pristine and lush green expanse, Kanha Shanti Vanam, Madhuvanam Real Estate invites you to join the security of a gated community, the benefit of having similar individuals for neighbors, world class apartments with a clubhouse with international standards, meditation lounges and many other facilities that will make your successful investment for the future. etc. etc.

Only a few individuals will have the privilege of enjoying this (1000 apartments), according to the principle to become a classic SRCM "first come (first payer), first served", though details and plans are still subject to change ...

"allotment will be made on first come first serve basis of complete payment. Details and plans are subject to change."

 The developer Madhuvanam Real Estate (http://madhuvanam.com/about.html) was established in 2012 by the company Sahaj Kalyan Gruha Private Limited, itself incorporated on 08/11/2012 (Ramachandra Mission Road, Domalguda, Hyderabad, Telangana, India) with 4 directors close to the head or members of the local SRCM.

Meanwhile, Radha Kanha Shanti Vanam opened subscriptions for a subdivision of residential plots, on part of the campus of the ashram (see http://www.kanhashantivanam.org/).

There are lready four charities, a real estate company and more than 15 cumulative directors, besides all that we do not know!

Is SRCM a small spiritual organization or a large land and real estate investments enterprise?

The "Healers" of Sahaj Marg

Translation of an article by Elodie: "Les 'Guérisseurs' du Sahaj Marg", on her blog in Europe: Pour Que Vive Le Sahaj Marg.


October 22, 2015 

The "Healers" of Sahaj Marg

Frodon said on:  Sahaj Marg From the Age of Twelve Years Old 

Good evening,

In response to Elodie, I do not have evidence of what I say, but I'm sure the preceptors taking future followers in therapy (false therapy, since a person performing a para-medical profession has no competence in practicing as a psychotherapist) seek both to increase their self-value and to "hook" (their target)  by suggesting that they have a gift of healing, and that they will in turn be able to establish themselves as as a (pseudo-?) therapist (psycho-genealogist, kinesiologist, etc ...).  

Some people consult them without asking them what their course of study is. I can give you, beside the blogs, links that can lead to followers (this time with supporting evidence) on the Net stating their claim to heal. I can also testify about abhyasis who before me state that they hoped to enrich themselves, exercising their false? therapy or that it is what they long wanted, to be in the "care" of people.  

If you look carefully around you, there are in all villages and neighborhoods of some people with no serious study or training, with just a few internships in a year practicing as kinesiologist, pranatherapist, psychogenealogist, etc ... There is no need to be a abhyasi, but abhyasis are more open to these magical healing practices as the rest of the population, for sure. In the 1000-1500 abhyasis in France, they are legion, as it is a way to approach and to financially abusing the sick, the elderly or those in psychological distress, and thus to allow the group to grow and to collect the money without much promotion.

@ Elodie, I answer your second question. RYE the association was founded by teacher to promote Yoga in school. Most of the current literature on the sects mentions yoga classes as one of the modes of hooking  for the most common and often dangerous, psycho-spiritual groups with magical healing practices. SRCM recruits either from these false therapies performed by the abhyasis or the preceptors who guide their victims to the meetings at the ashram. I have testimonials that young families have been recruited in this way.  

The second factor for input to a sectarian group is youth. It is easier to "shape" a brain young! I can send you documents proving that abhyasi joined the RYE association,recently approved by the Ministry of Education, and offers yoga classes to families, and children in schools!  

Whereas the Peillon reform in primary schools and whose aim is entirely laudable, sports courses have been deleted because municipalities can not fund them; we will offer yoga to children with "facilitators" to more than vague formations and dangerous acquaintances with a guru !!! I can send copies of web pages in a number of schools involved in the partnership. Everyone can find them, just type "Yoga in Schools" in your area, then it's a long-term work for links with groups reported by the associations.

Sahaj Marg: Patel, the Guru 2.0

Translation of article by Alexis: "Patel, le Gourou 2.0", posted on Elodie's blog in Europe: Pour Que Vive Le Sahaj Marg.  Taken from an article: "Patel, le Gourou 2.0",  and app on Alexis'  blog: "Sahaj Connects, Meditation Anywhere Anytime".


October 11, 2015
 
Sahaj Marg: Patel, Guru 2.0 

According to a message from Alexis: Patel, Guru 2.0

Sahaj connect: Meditation anywhere/anytime meditation

He spoke about it, and he did! The smartphone app is already available ...

3: 39 AM, you wake up. It comes on like a need to piss, you suddenly need a sitting! No problem, log in and press the "now" button: in the cloud, an (any?) "available" preceptor from anywhere on the globe, or as if from nowhere, will answer ...
 
Then, Patel dreamed of a professional 24/7 meditation service accessible by insomniac abhyasis in full crisis! A terribly consumerist vision of spirituality to grab the maximum market share of 2.0 Meditation.
 
Since he (Patel is a pharmacist)  sold his pharmaceutical products on the web, he now wants to impose an on-line 24/7 spiritual consulting, enslaving his followers (will preceptors now be  volunteering to be "on-call", servicing all abhyasis?) to the ephemeral and versatile needs of the general public.

 

 HeartFulness, or the proposition of the  Uberisation  of Sahaj Marg

“For such a person, who is able to maintain the connection with the inner Self, there is no need for meditation. On a spiritual path like Sahaj Marg, there must come a time when we really become professionals in meditation. Our meditative state is then for 24/7. 

(...) With this Heartfulness approach, if you do feel stuck and you cannot go to a preceptor for a sitting, call them and request a remote sitting instead.”

(...) [Patel] also said that we are about to take Sahaj Marg to the next level. “I know in France you don't like this application Uber, but I like it so much. Say you are in Tokyo, and in the middle of the night you want a sitting, you can go online and someone awake in Los Angeles can give you a sitting. I think a day will come when our Masters will give us permission to work masterfully. Our job is to dream of such things so that they become possible.”

(In Bulletin No: 2015.107 – Thursday September 10, 2015)

Uberisation again:  “[Kamlesh] remarked that preceptors should be working all the time and not just while giving the sittings.

(Hyderabad,  8/08/2015 in Echoes of India, Sept. 2015)

Uberisation still: Sahaj connect,  Meditation anywhere anytime!

  

Nine (9) months and 1 novelty per day! For the SRCM, Sahaj Marg and the abhyasis, the revolution is in full swing.  First a Patel / Peyret duo for a (Medium/Guru) spiritualist governance. Then, meditation for all and by all  with HeartFulness. Finally the devaluation of the power of preceptors, tailored and exploit-able ... to a  "thank you very much"  ...

Alexis
