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

Sahaj Marg's Mecca?
Will Kamlesh Patel change Sahaj Marg? Is he very different from Chari? His recent speeches and recent events show us that unfortunately this is not the case.
Friday, Avril 17th, 2015, Fatehgarh, Kamlesh bhai said, “The Hierarchy wants to convey that the time has come for the Mission to grow rapidly.”
Saturday, Avril 18th, 2015, Lucknow, he recalled Master Chariji’s advice for growing the Mission – “Every abhyasi brings one new abhyasi every year.”
In his first public speaking, Kamlesh Patel called for unity. He then strongly emphasized discipline. Today, he re-launches the proselyte project of the Mission.
If
one believes the Whispers (From the Brighter World), these psychic messages from the "hierarchy" of
the (alleged) previous masters of Sahaj Marg, SRCM is growing and needs to accelerate
the movement. Hence the increase in the powers of the preceptors by Patel, hence the
creation of this new heartfulness.org website to lure people on
a spiritual search, and hence the relaunching of proselytizing.
Kanha project - in pursuit of extravagant projects
In 1999, Chari inaugurated the Babuji Memorial Ashram at Manapakkam, the first
"jewel" of Sahaj Marg, the first major sumptuous project of the Mission.
April
26, 2015, on the eve of the celebration of Babuji's anniversary
in Lucknow, Patel attended the erection of a statue of Babuji at the building under construction at Kanha Shanti Vanam. 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.
The
statue of Babuji will from now on sit above a bright star-shaped building, which
will itself be the focus of a future building in the shape of a heart, to portray the aerial view of the esoteric symbol published in whispers (From the Brighter World) .
This
project Patel called the "Mecca of Sahaj Marg" (April 10, 2015) was born
"with a handful of extremely dedicated abhyasis, thirty kilometers south
of the new international airport in Hyderabad," because the "Mission's growth has also signified that we were financially able to tackle larger (more important?) projects. "
Nothing is Too Beautiful to Celebrate the Greatness of This Spiritual Path
"The Masters of the past united cast their gaze on this grand work which is being built at Hyderabad. There will be the "high place" of Sahaj Marg, where great things will be accomplished under the impulse of the current Master, Kamlesh Patel."
"(...) Nothing is to beautiful to celebrate the greatness of this spiritual path as it will be perceived in the future. Precedents have thus marked this world; why could Sahaj Marg not accomplish this also, in the framework that is its own! (...) Large buildings around the world tell of this humanity, and this in its various forms (...). Yes, this site will be visited and appreciated, it will be highly charged, and that by God's grace (...)." (
Whisper of March 31, 2015)
Thus, "our masters have created a future for us; a future where we will be safe, free to practice and grow in these beautiful places, spiritually charged." Says Patel. As if the followers of Sahaj Marg were neither safe nor free to practice today.
Codenamed "Kanha Shanti Vanam"
Remember
what we learned from Alexis last November, that this project matured by Chari
since 2008 from a living place with an ashram and living space for the abhyasis, a colony based on 4
charities created in 2010 with the acquisition of 200 to 300 ha (hectares) by this handful of a dozen (or so?) extremely dedicated abhyasis, most of which are large investors and entrepreneurs.
Let us not forget that the mission's foreign capital comes by over
50% from three people: two computer designer and pharmaceutical Indian American start-up, and (a Russian?) oligarch from Transnistria.
Settlement (colonial?) Projects Sahaj Marg
By pursuing Chari's draft, Patel subscribes definitely to the continuity of his predecessor. His program can be summarized as: Unity, Discipline and proselytism, more than ever inspired by the mediums.

Bulletin No: 2015.42 – Tuesday April 28, 2015 :
(…) Our beloved Chariji Maharaj had a special project close to his
heart. Not many people knew about it, except towards the end. Actually,
at its inception, probably only he and Mr Varma, the engineer, knew. The
initial idea was to create a special grand memorial to his dear Master,
Babuji Maharaj.
He had already created a gem, the Babuji Memorial Ashram in Manapakkam,
and at the time he was like a child, confiding he was not able to
believe that this had been possible. Then time flew and new developments
emerged.
The idea of a beautiful samadhi for Babuji in Shahjahanpur developed
along its own lines. The limiting factor there was space. The Mission grew in leaps and bounds and there was a greater need to
have larger spaces for abhyasis to gather and also to live.
The growth
of the Mission also meant that we were financially able to tackle larger
projects. Then came the acquisition and development of a huge area by a
small band of extremely dedicated abhyasis, thirty kilometres to the
south of the new international airport in Hyderabad. Chariji Maharaj
chose this place for an unparalleled memorial.
His path had some years back crossed that of a very talented sculptor,
Mr Prajapati, who resided in Jaipur, and he started commissioning
statues from him to embellish the ashram in Manapakkam. Then came the
plan for a huge statue at Kanha, to sit on top of the building dedicated
to the new culture created by Babuji. This building is in the form of
the heart-shaped esoteric symbol and it can be seen from aircraft flying
in and out of Hyderabad. The total height is limited by the Airport
Authority regulations at fifty-two feet. Over time it has become clearer
that people from all over will flock to this memorial and it will
become a well-known centre of light; it is so spectacular.
On Sunday the 26th of April the statue of Babuji Maharaj was finally
installed, under the supervision of beloved Kamlesh bhai. On its own, it
stands at thirty feet, and it is a true work of art.
The face is so
expressive and serene, and the fine hand-beaten work is lifelike in its
detail. It is made of an alloy of five metals, and approximately one
hundred sheets of metal cast from moulds made from the clay original
were welded seamlessly together. The statue weighs thirteen tons.
As we waited the night before, the extremely fine atmosphere of this
place nurtured us. It is amazingly light. We were all left speechless at
the grandeur of the design of the whole thing, and the dedication of
the band of workers who are making the dream of the Masters come true.
It feels as if Chariji Maharaj is overjoyed to see this.
We can only be
grateful at the manner in which our Masters have created a future for
us; a future where we can be safe, free to practice and to grow in such
beautiful, spiritually-charged places.
