Sahaj Marg: Between Spiritualism and Spiritism
What then is Sahaj Marg? Meditation on the heart or the assiduous reading of "Whispers from the Brighter World"? Spirituality or Spiritualism (called "Spiritism" in Europe)? Life of the soul and the spirit or the dialogue with the spirits of the afterlife?
With Lalaji things were clear. His teaching of Sufism and Santmat had only one purpose: meditation, so spirituality. But from the beginning of Sahaj Marg, Babuji cultivated ambiguity: his ten commandments invited to meditation while his diary was already sinking into the throes of spiritualism (dialogue with Lalaji and Vivekananda). Sister Kasturi reconciled Sahaj Marg with meditation and the spiritual journey through her famous Anant Yatra. But Chari consigned everything to oblivion by introducing the concepts of obedience and service, incongruous in spirituality. The totalitarian drift of a master who wanted power, relegating spiritualism and spiritism to the roles of tools for personal ends, a simple practice for personal development.
Then, a new turn in 2005 with the discovery of the anonymous French medium, and the publishing of the "whispers" of Babuji. SRCM plunged into spiritualism to never get out.
Note that Sharad Chandra Saxena opposes Chari with the same weapons, those of spiritualism.

A Sahaj Marg (tm) Renegade (Elodie's Testimonial)
Taken and translated from an article: "Renegade", by Elodie on her French blog in Europe: Pour Que Vive Le Sahaj Marg.
Elodie
November 13, 2012
Renegade
Among the values which my parents transmitted to me during my education, two of
them helped me build the adult which I became: the freedom to think for
myself and the superiority of the spiritual life over the material life.
It is in this spirit that they met Babuji and chose him as a spiritual master nearly 40 years ago.
My brother, my sister and I were bathed in this environment from a very
young childhood and we have logically adhered to it once we reached an older age. Meanwhile, Babuji was replaced by Chari without it bringing any change in our commitment.
We met our companions (partner?) within the Mission, my parents were
appointed preceptors by Babuji, my brother and my sister-in-law by Chari, the union of
my little sister was blessed by Chari, my older nephews and nieces were
educated at LMOIS (Lalaji Memorial Omega International Schoold). A real "Mission" family, as Chari dreamed.
I had the feeling of belonging to a larger family and one based on the values that I had been taught by my parents.
Sahaj Marg represented everything I aspired to since always, a wonderful
dream shared with my partner and which I was eager to pass on to my
children.
Some grains of sand have jammed up this wonderful drive gear. In 2005, the announcement of Whispers by Chari and the interruption of
satsangh by his son for an auction have been the electro-shock that pushed me
out. I broke with the Mission, I broke up with my family and I also later broke up with my former partner.
First supported by my partner and finally also rejected by my last support, I found myself without family and friends, and terribly alone. Added to this was the fact that I had to admit that I had strayed into a dead end and one totally contrary to my principles. I had been used and manipulated without my knowledge and against my will without my noticing it for many years. It is not the easiest thing to recognize. My family was always - and still is - a willing hostage of a pseudo-spiritual deception, a vast and deadly scam.
I suffered terribly from loneliness and from the difficulty of admitting that I had left myself be abused for so long and so substantially.
My son and daughter were my strength, but what has truly saved me, it is our
exchanges and analyses on this blog as well as the relationships I have forged
with some great spiritual personalities, remarkable in my eyes.
Let there be no mistake, I do not write this to encourage your pity or your compassion, I do not want it. I write this for you who doubt, for you who are wondering if your future is in this sinister mission or outside.
Leaving this sidetrack is an indispensable necessity if you still believe in
spiritual values and if you refuse to serve any longer as a cash-cow to a
crook; but the way to stop the addiction is long and difficult.
Realization is a slow and complex process, although some events may precipitate it. My first questionning of the Mission appeared with insignificant doubts. When I questioned my parents or a preceptor, either I got some guilt-inducing responses questioning my practice, or I ran into a wall. I have now forgotten my trivial questions of the time, but I will never forget the attitude of those who replied to me. I was a bad abhyasi, I was not using the Mission correctly, my love for Chari was not strong enough, etc.. etc..
How is it possible that one thus eludes any questions on a spiritual path? From a preceptor, I undoubtedly would have accepted it. I had more trouble accepting when it came from people which I then took for real friend (s). I absolutely refused when it was my family. It was in total contradiction with the values which my parents had transmitted to me, how could they hold on to such language?
I doubted more and more, incredibly disappointed by the behavior of people I
considered members of this large family which the Mission was then for
me, until the events of 2005, which precipitated me out. Chari demanded from us 250 euros for a book not yet printed and with an unknown subject, based on trust (confidence?). I had no more confidence left and 250 euros for a book the group-purchase of which was
prohibited, as also was photocopying or lending, that is a bit
expensive. The commercial aspect had become too obvious.
My departure and the creation of this blog are not the end of my story with Sahaj Marg, far from it. One does not abruptly go from doubt and loss of confidence to a full dis-endoctrination. There are steps, many steps.
The process is not sudden and total, it is slow, difficult, sprinkled
with doubts and some very personal issues, very sentimentally charged and
very emotional.
It still took me a long time to see Chari as he truly is, and not with the eyes
of a fanatic disciple, enamored of his/her spiritual master.
I have long believed that the excesses of the Mission were due to
individual members who composed it, precisely because of their human condition. Sahaj Marg remained the best spiritual method and Chari was its undisputed master. I still believed in the possibility of a Sahaj Marg rid of its human misdemeanours and hoped to re-render it its noble acclaim.
With the discoveries and the evidence that accumulated on the blog, I was
very much obliged to gradually accept the omissions and lies of Babuji and Chari. I managed the desecrating of Chari by discovering the contents of Whispers it was the final straw that broke the camel's back. The divergent discourses of Sister Kasturi and Narayana (ISRC) also helped me.
I needed the analyses of Cricri, Michael and Alexis, and the support of 4d-Don,
to understand and accept intellectually that I had succumbed to this pseudo-spiritual trap for suckers, without noticing. My encounters with spiritual personalities from all sides finally demystified Sahaj Marg. This is not a unique and universal method as claimed by Babuji, I am now convinced, and I have much evidence. There are many other spiritual paths which are at least as interesting.
Today, seven years after slamming shut the door on the Mission, I dare say that I have come to a new equilibrium.
The consequences are many.
My family has almost cut its ties with me and I am infinitely sad and
disappointed at their renunciation, even if I do not lose hope of seeing them one day
finally open their eyes to the puppets they have become. I lost all my false friends, but of that, I congratulate myself today.
And for my self-preservation, because one never turns the page completely, I refuse
to meet directly with anyone who had anything to do with Sahaj Marg, near or
far, it is still too sensitive.
After having been much influenced and abused, I am unable to give my full confidence to a
spiritual guide, whatever his merits, it has become for me a basic
survival reflex.
I lost my family and my truly false friends, but over time I developed some new
relationships and true friendships in my surroundings, a thing that
was impossible when I was in the Mission. For that matter, as long as we stay, we do not realize how much the Mission imprisons us and cuts us off from our immediate surroundings.
I lost a Master and a pseudo-spiritual method, but I have met many exceptional spiritual personalities. My spiritual stagnation at the heart of the Mission has ceased, I have again taken up my spiritual quest, I met wonderful guides and found my inner God.
Paradoxically, leaving Sahaj Marg, breaking with the Mission and its master
has allowed me to reconnect with a real spiritual experience and to regain my
freedom of thought. I have finally become myself.

Sahaj Marg (tm) and Myths for a New Religion
Taken and translated from an article: "Des Mythes pour une Nouvelle Religion", by Élodie on her French blog in Europe: Pour Que Vive Le Sahaj Marg
Even though Chari is moved to act from time to time, he prefers to make the abhyasis responsible for their own condition, the wage of their non-progression in his eyes, rather than questionning the hierarchy he created. Still, let us remember the basic principle is that it is the master, and in a pinch, the preceptor, who is the principal architect of the spiritual progress of his pupil, as Lalaji and Babuji before him, clearly stated. As Michael said, one can judge the quality of the Master by looking at his disciples. Chari's adepts prove to us every day his mediocre spiritual worth.

Myths for a new religion
Sahaj Marg, the alleged "unique" and universal spiritual method modernized by Babuji, can work very effectively as long as the master remains in close contact
with his disciple.
It's more complicated with preceptors, some are ill-intentioned, others are quite honest but not always competent. When a preceptor acts for his own personal ends, it becomes useless to hope for spiritual growth. When a preceptor is led by the teacher, all the benefits of the method are possible. It would be fair that the disciple be able to choose his preceptor with as much care as he chooses his master.
The first disciples of Babuji, such as Kasturi or Varadachari received all the benefits of Sahaj Marg. But his method has competely failed in its globalization, because of the preceptors.
The first disciples of Babuji, such as Kasturi or Varadachari received all the benefits of Sahaj Marg. But his method has competely failed in its globalization, because of the preceptors.
With the exception of an elite which has the good fortune of being able to approach the Master, most abhyasis today stagnate spiritually. Chari has appointed so many perceptors, often without even knowing them, that mal-intentioned or incompetent preceptors have become the majority.
Even though Chari is moved to act from time to time, he prefers to make the abhyasis responsible for their own condition, the wage of their non-progression in his eyes, rather than questionning the hierarchy he created. Still, let us remember the basic principle is that it is the master, and in a pinch, the preceptor, who is the principal architect of the spiritual progress of his pupil, as Lalaji and Babuji before him, clearly stated. As Michael said, one can judge the quality of the Master by looking at his disciples. Chari's adepts prove to us every day his mediocre spiritual worth.
Nobody is fooled, only a small elite who meets the master progresses spiritually. A savage struggle is established between the abhyasis so as to gain the attention of their Master. Love for the master has grown, the cult of the personality became established and Chari gave the rules: Obey and Serve.
Alexis has already described the effect: an autocratic and totalitarian guru, the adepts have become groupies, fans of the star.
The spiritual effects of Sahaj Marg have become so attenuated in contact with the preceptor caste and Chari, that they do not bring anything better than a vague conventional
tool for personal development. Chari's Sahaj Marg is only effective as a self-help or as a stress management technique.
If Sahaj Marg has become ineffective, how has Chari retained as many followers?
Why has the disciple of yesterday, who has become the adept of today remained in the Mission
when he/she has lost almost any chance of seeing his/her spiritual quest become realized. Has he/she forgotten his/her original purpose? Has he/she been brainwashed? And what else?
Undoubtedly, there a little of this and other things also, but mostly, Chari is a clever and dangerous manipulator. He has shown an ability to recycle the myths which act as vehicles for Sahaj Marg(tm) and to build from it a religion.
Three myths come immediately to mind, there may be others: the myth of
the Central Region, the myth of the Special Personality and the myth of a
grand plan that is beyond us.
Everyone knows that the purpose of Sahaj Marg is the divine fusion, the
promise of a quick access to the Central Region or the luminous World
(Brighter World). This undefined place, described by Babuji is erected as the holy grail, the ultimate goal to reach as soon as possible.
Long eclipsed by Chari so as to impose himself, Babuji has recently been resurrected by
the "Whispers", as the timeless (eternal) master of the Mission, the Special Personality
designated by the spiritual hierarchy of all the great saints of
history.
Babuji put in place a spiritual method for all spiritual seekers,
but he also evoked a collective grander design to achieve: to make
the whole entire world fall into spirituality. Whispers is the last stone which was missing from the edifice. the formalization of these myths at the center of a religious sect.
In the absence of individual spiritual progress, Chari's adept has a false impression of participating in the largest collective and
spiritual adventure of all time, to make humanity fall into another dimension.
The Grand Design is there, and for that, he/she have the reinforcement of
the "Special Personality" who is now established in the World of Light, in the
midst of the great saints of all times.
Every day in Whispers, Babuji is apt to reveal to ordinary mortals, some of the mysteries of this inaccessible and incomprehensible path, of which we can
not understand all the ins and outs, but we are the linchpin.
All the necessary ingredients for the emergence of a new religion are
in place: a dogma, some sacred texts, Heroes with the qualities of saints, a strong
belief system which overcomes a feeling of threat and the need for protection, some certainties, some simple principles and some immutable truths.
A Recent human fabrication, Chari's Sahaj Marg now offers a total vision, a "unique" model, a worldview where each problem finds its solution.
It guarantees the abhyasis that they will emerge victorious of the turmoil, as
long as they identify with the ideal that transcends them, and to comply with the
requirements laid down.
I am here paraphrasing Serge Moscovici, a specialist in social psychology, in "The Age of Crowds", cited by Alexis. Here is a direct quote to conclude: "Religions are the work of the "sons", of the successors of the founding fathers (...). They exonerate and at the same time legitimize them, by concealing their crime to the point that nobody sees in them, their authors."
Babuji was a remarkable spiritual personality, but he certainly is not THE Special Personality, if it can be that one can exist one day. Access to a Central Region is not an end in itself, it is the journey and spiritual quest that matter. As for the mysterious Grand Design, it is an mystification without name which cements the abhyasis around their chief and allows all kinds of abuse. We do not know what it is, we can not even imagine, but we are asked to adhere blindly.
With Whispers, Sahaj Marg(tm) has achieved its transformation into a dangerous religious sect, empty of all spiritual content.

At Sahaj Marg (tm), It's Full Powers For Kamlesh D. Patel
Translation of an article by Élodie: "Les Pleins Pouvoirs Pour Patel", on her blog: "Pour Que Vive Le Sahaj Marg", in Europe.
4d-Don's Humour!
A Fairy Tale From The Brighter World
Curtains open to harp music in the background as a "being of light" enters from STAGE RIGHT, calling:
"Spiritualist delivery from the "Central Region of the Brighter World"...
"Message for Chari!! Message for Chari!!"
"Will there be any return mail?? Will that be "Air mail", "Space mail", "Quantum mail"?
Will that be registered as "SPECIAL" delivery? ...This service is meant only for "special entities", and is delivered at or beyond the speed of LIGHT??
(Oh! My God ... Give us a break!! Give your head a shake!!)
N.B.:
The Sahaj Marg(tm) spiritualist clan makes up a fairy tale, and then they believe their own "TALES" ... How sad!! Would you buy "drugs" from this clan led by a spiritualist druggist ??Why do they need doctors and drugs? They can allegedly simply write and mail Babuji a letter in the Brighter World, the in-accessible Central Region!!
Are "miracles" now part of Sahaj Marg(tm)?
Could this be an example of the Board of Directors of Spiritualist SRCM (California-1997) dealing with "Improper and Evil Practices - Stoppage of" with their non-existing invention called: "Standard of Spiritualism" as mentionned in Chari's SRCM (California-1997) Constitution and "Bye" - Laws, ... See: Page 14, Section 11 ??
Another fantasy which exists in their MIND only !!

Full powers For Patel
What actually happened on August 15?
Chari began by resigning all his duties, but at the request of the Working Committee, he remains the president of SRCM, while giving full powers to his (newly-appointed?) vice president Kamlesh D. Patel.Patel is not quite yet the third president of the Mission, he probably will be after the death of Chari, but he now has all the power. Thus, as of today, Chari is nothing but a sort of honorary president.
Who is this Plenipotentiary Vice President ?
Kamlesh Desaibhai Patel was born in Gujarat (State in Western India bordering on Pakistan) some fifty years ago. He emigrated to the United States, to Staten Island, in the state of New York, more than 20 years ago, and became a pharmacist in Brooklyn.He is an early-comer to Sahaj Marg, an abhyasi from the earliest period, preceptor for almost as long, going through all the positions of responsibility (area-in-charge region-in-charge, etc..), to positions as director of the American Foundation (Sahaj Marg Spirituality Foundation -SMSF) and chief mediator of the new World Service Team of SRCM. He made several "donations" to the SRCM, among which ten acres of land for a retirement center.He has been appointed by Chari as his successor, the next spiritual Representative of his divine master, Babuji and future President of SRCM for life, in a written document written at the Diamond Jubilee Park at Tiruppur, July 26, 2011, and co-signed by U.S. Bajpai, AK Bhatter Bhatia and Sanjay, but officially announced two months later. This second Tiruppur statement has received approval from Babuji, in a message to Chari, confirming the choice of the person to succeed him.
Following his appointment, Patel moved to the Garden of Hearts (Chennai), at the Babuji Memorial Ashram.
Sources: 4d-Don and Alexis
The reactions were not long to arrive!
Navneet and Puneet (sons of Umesh) remain silent, but that is not the case with their cousin Sharad Chandra Saxena, the eldest son of Babuji's grandchildren and his sidekick Shubh Chintak Kishore. In 1982, Babuji (allegedly) told him: “nature will punish him [Chari] during his last living days. (…) Sharad all I have, I have transferred it to you. Here after you will be the one and only powerful person”. Today, Sharad adds: “Recently, when I came to know about Chari’s physical condition, I remembered His said words; now nature has started taking its part.”
S.C. Kishore adds that the courts have only designated Chari as intermediary president, and that, thanks to his ill-gotten money at the head of the Mission. Accordingly, he has no right to appoint the next president. He (allegedly) would also have manipulated the financial accounts of the Sahaj Marg Mission, diverting it from its objectives. According to Kishore, anyone can increase the number of abhyasis, but few can guarantee honesty in the financial management of the Mission and the purity of Sahaj Marg. Babuji has (allegedly) appointed his grandson Sharad, and S.C. Kishore to take things in hand, under his direct supervision See: (www.societyforbabujismission.org.in under "Latest Events").
The claims of the descendants of Babuji so as to recover the mission is far from extinct. Is it to reinstate the purity of the system or to benefit at their turn from the accumulated wealth? Everyone will decide for him/herself.
From his side Narayana, son of Dr. Varadachari, and as well the followers of Sister Kasturi, have never accepted that Chari may be the spiritual representative of Babuji. It is not today that they will change. Http://lalajibabujikasturiji.blogspot.com/ on August 11, Ek abhyasi quotes Babuji:
"Persons who claim that they have made their conscience as their guru, are under a wrong notion because the fact is that not the conscience but their ego becomes their guru which leads to undesirable results.
(…) 'Please do not take any thing for granted even if God in human form comes and says that He is God unless and until He makes you understand according to your level of wisdom that why and how He is so.' This will develop clarity in understanding which will tell us about the fake spiritual leader from whom one should get rid of soon".
(…) The exceptional thing with Babuji Maharaj is that he never treated himself a guru rather he used to say and has also written in his book "Reality at Dawn","God is the real guru or Master and we get light from Him alone. But as it is extremely difficult for a man of ordinary talent to draw inspiration from God direct, we seek one of our fellow beings who has established his connection with Almighty. He must, therefore, treat himself as the humblest servant of God serving humanity in the name of the Great Master. All through his (Lalaji) life, he treated his associates as brethren. The idea that they were his disciples never once crossed his mind. I think and feel it as an essential thing for a guru to give up his masterly position and feel himself an ordinary servant of humanity. If he feels himself as a Master and hence far above his associates, it will be Ahankar (ego) of the worst type in a guru."The critical watermark of the behavior of Chari, the ordinary man, is obvious.
No applause came to punctuate Chari's proposal to appoint Kamlesh Patel as the head of the Mission. The applause of the 2,000 abhyasis in the room began to resonate when the Working Committee had asked Chari to remain as president and he accepted. Patel, ostensibly very emotional by Chari's proposal, must have felt very alone and began to measure the difficulties which lie ahead for him to one day being recognized and approved.
He will have to win the souls of the abhyasis one by one intern-ally, if he wants to one day enjoy the same popularity as Chari. And now externally, one can also notice things stirring, the last thirty years (1983-2012) may well have been a parenthesis in the history of Sahaj Marg, that could be closing at Chari's death. For once, Chari's nightmare of seeing his SRCM (California-1997) disintegrate into 240 small missions could be prescient. For spirituality in general, it is the best we can hope for.
Elodie
Copy of the transcript of the SRCM statements from the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shri Ram Chandra Mission, August 15, 2012 at Manapakkam:
Parthasarathi Rajagopalachari (PR) :
Dear brothers and sisters,
I thank you all for coming to this Extra-Ordinary Annual General meeting at such short notice, especially after most of you have been to Tiruppur – after a wild goose chase there. Circumstances beyond my control have brought out these events, and it is with great personal effort that I am here before you today. Your response, your overwhelming response, indicates to me that what my dear Babuji Maharaj writes again and again in Whispers is true: that hearts are beginning to open to Reality, that people want the spiritual life more and more, are willing to commit themselves more and more, and give themselves to it more and more, which is a very good sign. Now I have been in bed for forty-five days, since the fifth of July. The first two, three weeks went very bad. Subsequently also it is not so very bad, but bad. I think, personally I think, it will take a few more weeks for me to be on my feet though my doctors say, “Today,” “Tomorrow,” “Today,” “Tomorrow.” I have been thinking a lot about the Mission. Over the past two and a half, three years, I have sent messages to Babuji Maharaj that my eyesight is failing. He knows about it. Of course, he says, “These things happen,” but the practical implication is that I can’t read emails, somebody has to read them; I have to dictate, somebody has to type them, and that is not something that a president should be doing. It is not correct. When I sign cheques I have to ask brother MDS, “Where is this going? What for? What is the amount?” and then sign, because I can’t see. Now, during the last one month, my signature itself has become a scribble, sort of. So I have come to the conclusion that it would not be proper for me to continue as President. After all, Kamlesh Patel is ready. He has been nominated and accepted worldwide. All the legal things have been put in place. There is nothing … the working committee must just take a signature from him saying, “I accept to be the President,” like they did in Hyderabad in ’83, and that is that, you see. So to make sure that I would not be going on the wrong track, I wrote to beloved Babuji Maharaj. Somebody read it.
Kamlesh Patel :
This letter is written by our beloved Master:
11 August 2012, Saturday, 12:15 pm
Beloved Babuji Maharaj,
I prostrate at your feet. I have been very unwell for four weeks now, during which I have suffered a great deal. I have turned eighty-five years old. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Solely in the interests of the Mission and its proper guidance, I propose to transfer all the powers of the President, under the constitution and by-laws, to brother Kamlesh Patel and request the working committee to announce him as the third president of the Mission on the fifteenth of August 2012. He is ready for the job and all the legal formalities have already been put in place. I have therefore called for an extra-ordinary general meeting of the Mission on the fifteenth August morning, which is to accomplish this fact. On that morning, I shall cease to be the President and Kamlesh Patel shall take over as the next representative.
[Working Committee Member continues reading]
On that morning, I shall cease to be President, and Kamlesh Patel shall take over as the next representative. I have to humbly make this suggestion because my body is very weak. During these four weeks I have been spoon-fed by my children and unable to get out of bed. I do not foresee any improvement in my health status. If the hierarchy so decides, I shall continue as the Master of Sahaj Marg. Dear Master, I require clear instructions in this matter.
With my love,
Your son,
Parthasarathi.
PR : I received his reply promptly.
Working Committee Member :
Master has received this reply from revered Babuji Maharaj.
Saturday, August 11, 2012, 4 pm
My dearest son, That idea is agreeable to us. You may implement it according to the wishes you have expressed. You must imperatively free yourself from anything that currently weighs heavily on you. As we have said previously, the essential part of your activity is going on in a masterly fashion. Make all the decisions you deem appropriate. Make it all clear and irrefutable. You know human reactions better than anyone else, as you have suffered first-hand from them so much. Likewise, your future successor will endure a lot of it. Take care of yourself, dear great Parthasarathi. You are so precious to our hearts. The remainder of your Earthly life is important in terms of clarifying things. We cannot avert all the turbulence prompted by your health problems. You know the matter well; it is needless to insist on it. Do everything you deem necessary for your peace of mind and the welfare of the Mission. More than ever, we are at your side. Be at peace as much as the current situation permits. When you come and rejoin us on the heavenly fields with the whole of your bodies, you will be able to truly assess the incredible work you have accomplished for this great Mission. We carry you with utmost love and we support you in every respect.
We all here wish you all the best.
Babuji Maharaj
PR : Apart from these messages, which are my personal exchanges with Babuji Maharaj, he has been sending open messages every day for the last two, three weeks, emphasising the importance of whatever it is. I am not running away from anything. You all know I have never run away from anything. But when I cannot do anything, what is the alternative? So that is why I have taken this decision. The working committee may deliberate on it and let me know what they want. All right?
[Working committee members suggest that Master continue as President and brother Kamlesh be nominated as Vice-President.]
PR : With all powers.
Aap log samajh gaye na mera prastaav? Bhaion, beheno, spasht samjhe na?
[Did you all understand my proposal? Brothers and sisters, did you understand clearly?]
Mera vichaar hai ki bhai Kamlesh Patel ko abhi President bana den aur mein chutti le loon. Lekin hamare buzurg log kehte hain ki Kamlesh Patel ko abhi Vice-President bana deejiye with all powers.
[My thought is that brother Kamlesh Patel can be made the President now and I can take leave. But our seniors here are saying, “Please make brother Kamlesh Patel the Vice-President now, with all powers.”]
[applause]
Abhyasis : Yes.
PR : All right, I agree.
[applause]
To aaj hi kar deejiye kaagazaat waagazaat
[Prepare the documents today]: “as Vice-President who shall enjoy the powers of the constitution and shall do everything as if it is done by the President.” Appoint Kamlesh Patel as Vice-President of Shri Ram Chandra Mission, who will enjoy all the powers of the constitution and by-laws, and all actions done by him will be as done by the President.
[Master gives a brief sitting]
PR : Kai doctor – sab yahaan ghire huey hain hamaare. Unka kehna hai hamen yahaan se seedha bistre (pe) jaana hai, kafi strain ho chuka hai. Mujhe afsos hai ki har ek se hum mil nahi paayenge, na vidai le paayenge. Voh hoga, phir kabhi milenge. Sab ko aashirvaad hai.
[My doctors, who are all around me, tell me that I should go straight to bed and that I have strained myself too much. I regret that I will not be able meet each one of you individually, nor say goodbye. It may happen when we meet again.
Blessings to all of you.]

Could this be an example of the Board of Directors of Spiritualist SRCM (California-1997) dealing with "Improper and Evil Practices - Stoppage of" with their non-existing invention called: "Standard of Spiritualism" as mentionned in Chari's SRCM (California-1997) Constitution and "Bye" - Laws, ... See: Page 14, Section 11 ??
Another fantasy which exists in their MIND only !!

Full powers For Patel
What actually happened on August 15?
Chari began by resigning all his duties, but at the request of the Working Committee, he remains the president of SRCM, while giving full powers to his (newly-appointed?) vice president Kamlesh D. Patel.Patel is not quite yet the third president of the Mission, he probably will be after the death of Chari, but he now has all the power. Thus, as of today, Chari is nothing but a sort of honorary president.
Who is this Plenipotentiary Vice President ?
Kamlesh Desaibhai Patel was born in Gujarat (State in Western India bordering on Pakistan) some fifty years ago. He emigrated to the United States, to Staten Island, in the state of New York, more than 20 years ago, and became a pharmacist in Brooklyn.He is an early-comer to Sahaj Marg, an abhyasi from the earliest period, preceptor for almost as long, going through all the positions of responsibility (area-in-charge region-in-charge, etc..), to positions as director of the American Foundation (Sahaj Marg Spirituality Foundation -SMSF) and chief mediator of the new World Service Team of SRCM. He made several "donations" to the SRCM, among which ten acres of land for a retirement center.He has been appointed by Chari as his successor, the next spiritual Representative of his divine master, Babuji and future President of SRCM for life, in a written document written at the Diamond Jubilee Park at Tiruppur, July 26, 2011, and co-signed by U.S. Bajpai, AK Bhatter Bhatia and Sanjay, but officially announced two months later. This second Tiruppur statement has received approval from Babuji, in a message to Chari, confirming the choice of the person to succeed him.
Following his appointment, Patel moved to the Garden of Hearts (Chennai), at the Babuji Memorial Ashram.

The reactions were not long to arrive!
Navneet and Puneet (sons of Umesh) remain silent, but that is not the case with their cousin Sharad Chandra Saxena, the eldest son of Babuji's grandchildren and his sidekick Shubh Chintak Kishore. In 1982, Babuji (allegedly) told him: “nature will punish him [Chari] during his last living days. (…) Sharad all I have, I have transferred it to you. Here after you will be the one and only powerful person”. Today, Sharad adds: “Recently, when I came to know about Chari’s physical condition, I remembered His said words; now nature has started taking its part.”
S.C. Kishore adds that the courts have only designated Chari as intermediary president, and that, thanks to his ill-gotten money at the head of the Mission. Accordingly, he has no right to appoint the next president. He (allegedly) would also have manipulated the financial accounts of the Sahaj Marg Mission, diverting it from its objectives. According to Kishore, anyone can increase the number of abhyasis, but few can guarantee honesty in the financial management of the Mission and the purity of Sahaj Marg. Babuji has (allegedly) appointed his grandson Sharad, and S.C. Kishore to take things in hand, under his direct supervision See: (www.societyforbabujismission.org.in under "Latest Events").
The claims of the descendants of Babuji so as to recover the mission is far from extinct. Is it to reinstate the purity of the system or to benefit at their turn from the accumulated wealth? Everyone will decide for him/herself.
From his side Narayana, son of Dr. Varadachari, and as well the followers of Sister Kasturi, have never accepted that Chari may be the spiritual representative of Babuji. It is not today that they will change. Http://lalajibabujikasturiji.blogspot.com/ on August 11, Ek abhyasi quotes Babuji:
"Persons who claim that they have made their conscience as their guru, are under a wrong notion because the fact is that not the conscience but their ego becomes their guru which leads to undesirable results.
(…) 'Please do not take any thing for granted even if God in human form comes and says that He is God unless and until He makes you understand according to your level of wisdom that why and how He is so.' This will develop clarity in understanding which will tell us about the fake spiritual leader from whom one should get rid of soon".
(…) The exceptional thing with Babuji Maharaj is that he never treated himself a guru rather he used to say and has also written in his book "Reality at Dawn","God is the real guru or Master and we get light from Him alone. But as it is extremely difficult for a man of ordinary talent to draw inspiration from God direct, we seek one of our fellow beings who has established his connection with Almighty. He must, therefore, treat himself as the humblest servant of God serving humanity in the name of the Great Master. All through his (Lalaji) life, he treated his associates as brethren. The idea that they were his disciples never once crossed his mind. I think and feel it as an essential thing for a guru to give up his masterly position and feel himself an ordinary servant of humanity. If he feels himself as a Master and hence far above his associates, it will be Ahankar (ego) of the worst type in a guru."The critical watermark of the behavior of Chari, the ordinary man, is obvious.
No applause came to punctuate Chari's proposal to appoint Kamlesh Patel as the head of the Mission. The applause of the 2,000 abhyasis in the room began to resonate when the Working Committee had asked Chari to remain as president and he accepted. Patel, ostensibly very emotional by Chari's proposal, must have felt very alone and began to measure the difficulties which lie ahead for him to one day being recognized and approved.
He will have to win the souls of the abhyasis one by one intern-ally, if he wants to one day enjoy the same popularity as Chari. And now externally, one can also notice things stirring, the last thirty years (1983-2012) may well have been a parenthesis in the history of Sahaj Marg, that could be closing at Chari's death. For once, Chari's nightmare of seeing his SRCM (California-1997) disintegrate into 240 small missions could be prescient. For spirituality in general, it is the best we can hope for.

Copy of the transcript of the SRCM statements from the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shri Ram Chandra Mission, August 15, 2012 at Manapakkam:
Parthasarathi Rajagopalachari (PR) :
Dear brothers and sisters,
I thank you all for coming to this Extra-Ordinary Annual General meeting at such short notice, especially after most of you have been to Tiruppur – after a wild goose chase there. Circumstances beyond my control have brought out these events, and it is with great personal effort that I am here before you today. Your response, your overwhelming response, indicates to me that what my dear Babuji Maharaj writes again and again in Whispers is true: that hearts are beginning to open to Reality, that people want the spiritual life more and more, are willing to commit themselves more and more, and give themselves to it more and more, which is a very good sign. Now I have been in bed for forty-five days, since the fifth of July. The first two, three weeks went very bad. Subsequently also it is not so very bad, but bad. I think, personally I think, it will take a few more weeks for me to be on my feet though my doctors say, “Today,” “Tomorrow,” “Today,” “Tomorrow.” I have been thinking a lot about the Mission. Over the past two and a half, three years, I have sent messages to Babuji Maharaj that my eyesight is failing. He knows about it. Of course, he says, “These things happen,” but the practical implication is that I can’t read emails, somebody has to read them; I have to dictate, somebody has to type them, and that is not something that a president should be doing. It is not correct. When I sign cheques I have to ask brother MDS, “Where is this going? What for? What is the amount?” and then sign, because I can’t see. Now, during the last one month, my signature itself has become a scribble, sort of. So I have come to the conclusion that it would not be proper for me to continue as President. After all, Kamlesh Patel is ready. He has been nominated and accepted worldwide. All the legal things have been put in place. There is nothing … the working committee must just take a signature from him saying, “I accept to be the President,” like they did in Hyderabad in ’83, and that is that, you see. So to make sure that I would not be going on the wrong track, I wrote to beloved Babuji Maharaj. Somebody read it.
Kamlesh Patel :
This letter is written by our beloved Master:
11 August 2012, Saturday, 12:15 pm
Beloved Babuji Maharaj,
I prostrate at your feet. I have been very unwell for four weeks now, during which I have suffered a great deal. I have turned eighty-five years old. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Solely in the interests of the Mission and its proper guidance, I propose to transfer all the powers of the President, under the constitution and by-laws, to brother Kamlesh Patel and request the working committee to announce him as the third president of the Mission on the fifteenth of August 2012. He is ready for the job and all the legal formalities have already been put in place. I have therefore called for an extra-ordinary general meeting of the Mission on the fifteenth August morning, which is to accomplish this fact. On that morning, I shall cease to be the President and Kamlesh Patel shall take over as the next representative.
[Working Committee Member continues reading]
On that morning, I shall cease to be President, and Kamlesh Patel shall take over as the next representative. I have to humbly make this suggestion because my body is very weak. During these four weeks I have been spoon-fed by my children and unable to get out of bed. I do not foresee any improvement in my health status. If the hierarchy so decides, I shall continue as the Master of Sahaj Marg. Dear Master, I require clear instructions in this matter.
With my love,
Your son,
Parthasarathi.
PR : I received his reply promptly.
Working Committee Member :
Master has received this reply from revered Babuji Maharaj.
Saturday, August 11, 2012, 4 pm
My dearest son, That idea is agreeable to us. You may implement it according to the wishes you have expressed. You must imperatively free yourself from anything that currently weighs heavily on you. As we have said previously, the essential part of your activity is going on in a masterly fashion. Make all the decisions you deem appropriate. Make it all clear and irrefutable. You know human reactions better than anyone else, as you have suffered first-hand from them so much. Likewise, your future successor will endure a lot of it. Take care of yourself, dear great Parthasarathi. You are so precious to our hearts. The remainder of your Earthly life is important in terms of clarifying things. We cannot avert all the turbulence prompted by your health problems. You know the matter well; it is needless to insist on it. Do everything you deem necessary for your peace of mind and the welfare of the Mission. More than ever, we are at your side. Be at peace as much as the current situation permits. When you come and rejoin us on the heavenly fields with the whole of your bodies, you will be able to truly assess the incredible work you have accomplished for this great Mission. We carry you with utmost love and we support you in every respect.
We all here wish you all the best.
Babuji Maharaj
PR : Apart from these messages, which are my personal exchanges with Babuji Maharaj, he has been sending open messages every day for the last two, three weeks, emphasising the importance of whatever it is. I am not running away from anything. You all know I have never run away from anything. But when I cannot do anything, what is the alternative? So that is why I have taken this decision. The working committee may deliberate on it and let me know what they want. All right?
[Working committee members suggest that Master continue as President and brother Kamlesh be nominated as Vice-President.]
PR : With all powers.
Aap log samajh gaye na mera prastaav? Bhaion, beheno, spasht samjhe na?
[Did you all understand my proposal? Brothers and sisters, did you understand clearly?]
Mera vichaar hai ki bhai Kamlesh Patel ko abhi President bana den aur mein chutti le loon. Lekin hamare buzurg log kehte hain ki Kamlesh Patel ko abhi Vice-President bana deejiye with all powers.
[My thought is that brother Kamlesh Patel can be made the President now and I can take leave. But our seniors here are saying, “Please make brother Kamlesh Patel the Vice-President now, with all powers.”]
[applause]
Abhyasis : Yes.
PR : All right, I agree.
[applause]
To aaj hi kar deejiye kaagazaat waagazaat
[Prepare the documents today]: “as Vice-President who shall enjoy the powers of the constitution and shall do everything as if it is done by the President.” Appoint Kamlesh Patel as Vice-President of Shri Ram Chandra Mission, who will enjoy all the powers of the constitution and by-laws, and all actions done by him will be as done by the President.
[Master gives a brief sitting]
PR : Kai doctor – sab yahaan ghire huey hain hamaare. Unka kehna hai hamen yahaan se seedha bistre (pe) jaana hai, kafi strain ho chuka hai. Mujhe afsos hai ki har ek se hum mil nahi paayenge, na vidai le paayenge. Voh hoga, phir kabhi milenge. Sab ko aashirvaad hai.
[My doctors, who are all around me, tell me that I should go straight to bed and that I have strained myself too much. I regret that I will not be able meet each one of you individually, nor say goodbye. It may happen when we meet again.
Blessings to all of you.]

News From SRCM(California-1997)- Sahaj Marg(tm)
Taken and translated from an article by Alexis: "Actualités de la SRCM", on Élodie's blog in Europe: Pour Que Vive Le Sahaj Marg.
Comments and insertions by 4d-Don are in "red italics"

News From SRCM(California-1997) - Sahaj Marg(tm)
Kamlesh Patel, at this very moment, is celebrating the anniversary of Babuji at Vrads Sande in Denmark in the company of European, Russian and American abhyasis, encouraged to go by Chari.
After the SMSF Foundation , in Dubai, a new Sahaj Marg Spirituality Foundation officially came to light on March 5, 2012, in Singapore.
SRCM UK has offered itself a property in Greater London, in the new neighborhoods developed for the Olympics. This is the future site of London's ashram.
In Sahaj Marg(tm), they all claim, it's not about "MONEY" or the Material!! But like all religions, the "dealers" (the businessmen who are the owners of the obedient slaves) can't wait to pass the collection plate and milk their obedient "cash cows", who long for THEIR fantasy version of "salvation" or "LIBERATION" from the material (their money) ... Lol lol
Another group of pseudo-spiritual addicts to the spiritualist "Opiates of the masses" (religion), buying (paying for) their "fix" of narcissistic BLISS !! If they don't obey (and pay), they will feel "guilty" or "left behind" !!
Kamlesh encourages Canadians to raise funds to acquire an ashram: "if 1,000 abhyasis each contributed $20 per month, that would be $ 20,000 per month and in a year we would have $ 240,000 - Had we started five years ago, we would be in a position now to acquire property! "
(As far as we know, five years ago, the number of Sahaj Marg disciples (abhyasis) in Canada was approximately 500 strong. Then, two boatloads of Tamil illegal migrants arrived on our western shores. (Chari is a Tamil, and Chennai, the headquarters for his SRCM(California-1997), is in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu).
Now Kamlesh Patel (Chari's successor-in-waiting, a pharmacist from Staten Island, New York, USA), alludes to 1,000 Sahaj Marg abhyasis in Canada?? ... First comes the tax-exempt religion registered as a "charity", and then the people smugglers? Is this also part of their "diaspora"? Will we also be a conduit for the "quick and easy fix" of Indian "pharmaceuticals", thanks to Sahaj Marg(tm) which is translated as "the easy path) ?? Maybe they will claim their "drugs" are really very "spiritual" ... lol lol And their corporate "pharmaceutical consortiums" members are really "Saints"... ;-))
Sahaj Marg(tm) is just one more builder of religious material "temples", being built (tax-free) by the nationalist, spiritualist, and very materialist wealthy businessmen, claiming to be "spiritual" and using the lost pseudo-environmentalists, and the pseudo-spiritual "do-gooders", to promote their "trade-marked" commercial empires, as the poor everywhere are marginalized and ignored !!
Take one of their holy Pills, kneel and bow to the businessmen invaders, and Obey!! Don't forget to bring your children for indoctrination, and lure your friends and family!!)
What is your "carbon footprint"? You hypocrites who rant about the terrible "materiality" of our modern world??
The works undertaken at the ashram of Cranbury, (NJ, USA) are entering their final phase.
A disciple of Babuji and Kasturi, is sending their messages since April 20, on two mirror blogs: http://lalajibabujikasturiji.blogspot.fr/ or http://lalajibabujikasturiji.wordpress.com/
This "anonymous" who calls himself/herself "Ek abhyasi" claims he met Babuji in 1962 at the age of 22 and followed his teaching, as that of Sister St Kasturiji ever since. He/she would therefore be 72 years old ?!

A Booklet, The Testament of Sister Kasturi
Taken and Translated from an article: "Un Livret Testament de Soeur Kasturi", on her blog: "Pour Que Vive Le Sahaj Marg".
Inserts and comment by 4d-don are in "red italics"
April 24, 2012
A Booklet, The Testament of Sister Kasturi
Before passing away, Sister Kasturi celebrated the birthday of Lalaji. On this occasion, she wrote a booklet entitled "Divya Prasad".
Primarily drawn from the autobiography of Babuji, there are excerpts of the interconnections (from beyond the grave) with Lalaji, Swami Vivekananda or Lord Krishna, but also other citations.
The powers of Babuji are (allegedly) limitless, he is the only master of the universe until the end of time. His powers are not transferable, even to any spiritual representative. Babuji only will lead the abhyasis to ultimate reality. For this, abhyasis have no other effort to do than to stay connected to Babuji, it is he who will provide the spiritual work. He is the servant of humanity, he treats the abhyasis like his brothers. A guru who considers himself the master, and considers the abhyasis as his disciples is the worst kind of guru that can exist.
Was it an ultimate message of wisdom aimed at the self-proclaimed successors of Babuji, such as Chari?
Elodie
From the Booklet:
“Once St. Sister Kasturi told – (…) An Abhyasi has simply to do the efforts to remain connected with Babuji while discharging all duties of life and all spiritual work will be done by Pujya Babuji Maharaj.”
Reality At Dawn (the book by Babuji) – “God is the real Guru or Master and we get light from Him alone. But as it is extremely difficult for a man of ordinary talent to draw inspiration from GOD direct, we seek one of our fellow beings who has established his connection with Almighty. He must, therefore, treat himself as the humblest servant of God serving humanity in the name of the Great Master. All through his (Lalaji) life, he treated his associates as brethren. The idea that they were his disciple never once crossed his mind. I think and feel it as an essential thing for a Guru to give up his masterly position and feel himself an ordinary servant of humanity. If he feels himself as a Master and hence far above his associates, it will be Ahankar of the worst type in a Guru”.
The intercommunications (visions, dreams, etc...) are taken from "The Autobiography of Ram Chandra". They are from Babuji's journals. Babuji is allegedly, (in his dreams), the "Master of the UNIVERSE" ??
27-7-44 Rev. Lalaji Saheb : “You have been made the sole Master of the Universe.”
8-2-45 Rev. Lalaji Saheb : “These powers can’t be given to anybody not even to the spiritual successors.”
19-2-47 Rev. Swami Vivekanandji : “Utilisation of the final destructive power (Kshaya Shakti) will be the last part of your programme at the end of the world. Resurrection will be brought by you. I mean the last finishing touch of destruction or total extinction of life will be dealt by you.”
Sister Kasturi also declared in a speech dated 22-1-87: “The Divine Master of the Universe Shri Babuji Maharaj will have thousands of Spiritual Representatives until the fulfilment of His SANKALPA (viz; Spiritual Upliftment of Mankind) in Shri Ram Chandra Mission, but none of them will be His substitute as He Himself, according to Lalaji Saheb, cannot produce his Substitute. Shri Lalaji Saheb once said to Pujya Babuji Saheb, “You cannot make your Substitute because you yourself are not aware of the limits of your power. Moreover, Spirituality is also not a subject of inheritance like another Material object.” He is the master of Divine Power and has descended on Earth to take the abhyasis upto Ultimate Reality.”
OH, MY GOD!!! Anyone can claim to be anything!! That does not make it so.

Sahaj Marg is in Mourning!
Taken and translated from an article, Le Sahaj Marg est en deuil, on her blog in Europe: Pour Que Vive Le Sahaj Marg.
February 24, 2012
Sahaj Marg is in Mourning!
Sahaj Marg has just lost its second and greatest figure after Babuji. This personality is gone, and it is Sahaj Marg which goes out and dies.
Do not worry, it's not that about Chari that this concerns. There will always be a pale imitation of the real Sahaj Marg, a vulgar substitute registered in the commercial register.
This is about Kasturi Chaturvedi, Kasturi Bhenji, that saint of Sahaj Marg who passed away on February 22, 2012, and the remains of Sahaj Marg have disappeared with her.
Pray for her joining Babuji in a Brighter World, for whom she had devoted her life.
