A Whisper From The Spirit of Babuji of Sahaj Marg(tm)!!
This excerpt is from the New Sahaj Marg Bible, called Whispers from the Brighter World, which are allegedly from Babuji's spirit which now dwells in their Brighter World (heaven?). As must be noticed, Babuji is not in the un-reachable "central region", and still has an "identity" and a "personality" (Special??), and is allegedly still communicating with a lowly "Medium", and not with the President of SRCM (California-1997), or his Masterly "spiritual representative", unless the MEDIUM is considered so. Babuji is only one of the spirits that this anonymous French Medium is channeling.
The others include Lalaji, Chari's mother, Chari's wife, and other un-named "elevated souls", and some "beings of light". Add to that an entity called an "egregore" and you have the SPIRITUALISM that is now Sahaj Mart (tm) !! Oops ... that should be " Marg"! as in the "easy path"!! "Easy" and "Natural" apparently !!
As long as one does not have or does not want friends and a family to love! ... But don't worry, they will find you new friends, a new family, a wife/husband (no gays please), a pet, money, power, etc.. etc.. just like a snake-oil saleman of old, or a "Con-man" or an "opiate dealer" ...
And your "carbon footprint" and the planet? ... Businessmen and developers will care for the "environment"? Want to buy a Bridge?

From the Channeled Message - allegedly from the SPIRIT of Babuji
(...)
"The word sect stirs real mass hysteria, particularly in Europe, and in France mainly. (not so... The anonymous lady Medium is from France. Chari's European headquarters was (1999) at Augerans Castle (the old Peugeot (auto manufacturers) Castle), near the village of Dole, in eastern France) Instead, religions that in the past and even nowadays, did not do only good are accepted. (not true ... Christian religions are and have been losing ground in Europe for centuries. Hence the exodus by some "addicts" and "co-dependents", to try out "new religions" and "harmful sects" such as Sahaj Marg!) That is the way it goes, so many centuries of power over people can't just be swept away. (But it was and is still being "swept away" little by little by men of science using "logic and reason". And then came the "Reformation" and the "Enlightenment" or the Renaissance followed by the Industrial Revolution!! Sahaj Marg is not any better than the SPIRITUALIST religions of the past.) The teachings of the Masters of the past that have influenced humanity were distorted, utilized by powers of money and personal thirsts for power. (As the "Raja Yoga" of Patanjali was "distorted" as taught by SRCM, which begins at step # 7 of an eightfold path? As SRCM(California-1997) has now become SPIRITUALISM with a MEDIUM channeling the messages from the "spirit" of Babuji from beyond the grave? ... The messages are then sold as Whispers From The Brighter World, (first for $250.00USD, and now at a reduced rate of $150.00 USD!! Not cheap this alleged "spirituality"! But it is a "distorted (butchered) spirituality" or more accurate a Spiritualism sold by the Powers of MONEY (businessmen) and persons who thirst for power ... Who sits on a THRONE (a chair for CHARI) at every gathering?? (Does Chari-ty (so as to get "tax-exempt" status) really mean CHARI's tea?) Thus is the world; everything is dirtied. (TRUE... and then cleaned by "reason", not more faith in other Opiates, spiritualism and materialism created by the Business elite! ) These Masters gave a moral code, a code of life, clean and beautiful, entirely oriented towards the Creator and the creature." (only some ... not all... as now, some Masters of past Religions were materialists, nationalists, and spiritualists, and some were addicted to POWER, FAME, etc ... Religion does not necessarily serve the "CREATOR or its creature", it serves the "organization" and the "inner circle" (businessmen) ... Chari's Ashrams of Marble with "lions of gold" and the displays of "idolatry" are not "serving the "Creator or the creature" or the creation that is the PLANET!! ... The structures of concrete and marble serve Chari and the EGO of the "inner circle of SRCM (California-1997), the nationalists, and the businessmen who use RELIGION to invade foreign markets! And who would be served (or serviced?) by women (their scriptural "milk maidens"), which they "control"!! (In Sahaj Marg, 75% are women controlled by MEN only !! Women can't be Masters according to Chari!! Teach that to your daughters!! And tell them WHY!! Chari said so!! )

A Prickly Story Of Sahaj Marg! by a "ROSE"!!
Beware of THE SCAM:
Here are some of the "come-ons" or "lures" used by the Pseudo-spiritual Cults of a PERSON:
"the Master just thought about you" ... "the Divine inspired me to contact you" ... "you are special" ... "you are chosen" ... "you are unique" ... "This is your one chance. There won't be another like our Master in 10,000 years" ... "you are chosen to save your people from ?? (hell, perdition, re-incarnation or cycle of birth/death, etc...) "... "our Master is a Special Personality" ... "our system is unique" ... etc., etc., etc.,
Here are a series of E-mails I received from ROSE (see blogs listed below for Rose's past testimonial and expose) some allegedly forwarded from the President of SRCM (California-1997), and some allegedly from Parthasarathi Rajagopalachari (aka Chari, the Master and President of SRCM (California-1997).
Could these "e-mails" be the work of "the anonymous MEDIUM" or some other volunteer "henchmen" using Chari's name and his e-mail address with the express duty of contacting those who have left the "flock" and enticing them back in by pretending to be CHARI? LYING? Are the Sahaj Mart (tm) volunteers being trained to LIE in the name of being on the path to the GREAT MORALITY? (Is this direct (or tele-) marketing??) Notice the "form letter" look of the e-mail. Or are these e-mails really from Chari himself (not his spirit)? Why now? Why Rose? Have all the others who have left Sahaj Marg also been contacted? Do you want to SHARE?
If you are one who has left Sahaj Marg and are being harassed by their volunteers there is a TEMPLATE for a "Cease and Desist" (restraining) order available here.
Ah! The Spiritualist Intrigue in the name of ONE or ONE-ness (UNITY)! Where is the respect of the "individual"? Arranging marriages from photos and deciding to allow one to meditate or not ... from a photo?
Could it be that the "someone" who is sending e-mails to Rose is not up to date. Even though another ( N.S. Nagaraja) has been appointed as the "zone-in-charge" for Europe, they are still sending a copy of Rose's e-mail to AK Bhatter (see below). This is the same AK Bhatter who was chosen by Chari (and allegedly Babuji from the "Brighter World") to be the successor of Chari. He has since resigned ( see here for the whole TRUE story ) ... (hmmm)
You (the reader) decide .... (for continuity, begin reading at end of file, last e-mails first... and read them in reverse order)
P.S. I rewrote the headers as the "edit points" were giving me problems in Blogger! I have the e-mails that were sent to me by Rose. If anyone wants to verify their authenticity (with the IPS info and other stats), send me an e-mail address! ... (I am obviously not a techie! )

Dear Mr Rajagopalachari
My daughter confessed to me a few minutes ago that she had received an email from you last week and that you had been conversing back and forth since then.
I am writing to request that you stop this and advise her not to contact you anymore.
I do not want her to be dragged back into sahaj marg. I respect your organisation and everyone in it but i think that its not the right path for her.
Respectfully
Love and blessings to you and your family

Kasturi vs Chari, Narayana, And The Others!! The Sahaj Marg "Illuminati"!!
Article titled: Chari, Narayana and the Others!

Chari, Narayana and others
Here are excerpts from Sister Kasturi's exchanges with some French disciples - always in February, 2010 - about Chari, Narayana, Srivastava and other contenders, until Cyril publishes the full text.
Sister Kasturi puts things in their proper place. There is no other master than Babuji, and there will never be another. It's their ego that leads all the contenders.
Elodie
Abhyasis (A.): after the death of Babuji, I followed Chari, but after a few years I felt that there was something not right and I left.
Kasturi (K): There is a reason for that, if he still loved Babuji, Chari would still work and do a good job, but once he started thinking: "I do the work" and not "Babuji is doing the work", he began to deviate. Very often I have heard from his own mouth: "you will not receive anything from Babuji, you will receive the transmission only through me". I then left. When you leave the power of the center, how can you then receive the energy.
Babuji Maharaj always refused donations, he erased even the idea of the gift, but Chari began accepting more and more money because he was increasingly separated from Babuji. In spirituality there is one thing: the "I" is separate from the Divine, Babuji used to say: "the Divine is mine" (I am one with the Divine). But I tell you one thing, whether Chari or anyone, if that person starts thinking: "I am this, I'm that, and that Babuji is nothing", while as Lalaji said: "Babuji came here in this world to take us all into the Centre ". So Chari is wasting his time, perhaps in one lifetime, maybe in two lifetimes, he will have to come back to Babuji. If we have the pleasure of remembering Babuji and feel that it is He who gives the transmission, then in a very short time we will start to feel the change in our thoughts, our actions and to see an improvement through the constant remembrance of the Divine and His presence in us, whatever we do we'll do it for His pleasure.
(...)
Why do the abhyasis accept Chari as master while it is the Sri Ram Chandra Mission, it is the work of Ram Chandra? Babuji asked him to manage the work of the mission's organization, to be a director, but why did he start saying "I am the Master", while we are nothing? Neither Vivekananda nor Babuji ever said: "I am the Master!" , and if Chari had made you preceptor, and you started to declare" I am the Master! "You would have been in error. Very soon he (Chari) will be forfeited, and the truth will break out, Babuji is at work!
(...)
Currently there are many president's, the son Dr. K.C. Varadachari has appointed himself president, as did Chari, another Master who is self-proclaimed. But none of them can do any work and even if someone is very high, if the permission of God is not there, the work can not be done. So how can they say they are doing something when they do not have permission. Babuji always took three days to prepare an abhyasis and a preceptor to give him permission to do the work, but I saw for myself a new abhyasis who had begun to meditate about seven days before appearing before Chari and to be made a preceptor the same evening, he knew nothing about the method of Sahaj Marg, that's how they proceed. K.C. Narayana's son Varadachari did the same thing and created the Institute of Shri Ramchandra Consciousness (ISRC) , Dr. Shrivastava also came here several times, telling me, "I am the president".
We must prepare ourselves to serve, not want to be Masters, it is also a service when you talk to someone new about our system.
(...)
A. : We come here to get your teaching and to be with you and Babuji, the question is why do so few people come to see you?
K. : It is not thus, many people come, but separately eg if you come during Basant Panchami or on the anniversary of Babuji you could meet a lot of people, a group of 50 or 60 etc...
But the day will come, because many leave Chari, K.C. Narayana, Shrivastava because he is the Master and they will all return to the sacred feet of Babuji. Chari will also have to return to the feet of Babuji, because he did not come down (from the Ultimate) through the prayers of Lalaji. It is Babuji who has trained him, the same way that I go to prepare you to be a preceptor, I am not the Master. It is thanks to His power that I'll be preparing you to be preceptors.

@ Elodie
Would you have masochistic tendencies? You do whatever it takes to help us bring down the Kasturi myth.
Until now, her image was better because she did not speak to willy nilly, she did not criticize the other contenders and she would not take the place of the boss (Babuji).
For the critique, we'll come back to it! We already knew what she thought of Chari, but now she adds that with KC Narayana and SP S (h) rivastava.
In the leadership race, she added Srivastava (whom I had a little neglected), so that makes one more. And she does not mince her words vis-à-vis Narayana. Either she is well informed or she reads our blogs and shares our opinion. Funny! I recall that I had just worried about Narayana because of his personal blog (or family) and that I had deduced that this customization was probably hiding something.
So basically (grosso modo), Kasturi confirms all the conjectures we made about them. Could we be right about everything, except about the subject of "herself"? Bizarre!
The only surprise, the children and grandchildren of Babuji are the only ones to pass through the meshes of her net. As if she was unable to say a bad word about the offspring of her God. Criticizing his descendants would be a crime of "lèse majesté" ...
So, admittedly, she does not claim the role of master or president, it's true. But she says they are all wrong, they will be "forfeited" and all the abhyasis will revert to Babuji, she is ultimately the only proper representative. The speech is subtle, but it is almost the same as claiming herself as the Grand Boss.
She does not speak badly or in round about fashion, but ultimately she chats quite a bit, and the information filters through. She has limited access to her blog, but the door remains ajar and her "followers", Indian and French (and you), take on the charge of conveying her messages ...
In short, Kasturi reinterprets the History of Sahaj Marg to her convenience, she criticizes the others and the information filters and she claims to be the only one to correctly transmit the teaching of Babuji whom she deifies!
What is so different, if it is not in form only, more subtle?

Hello Alexis
I'm not a masochist, I could not imagine how you were able to be so delirious from almost nothing.
It makes me sad, I guess that Cyril is sad too. Perhaps I should not publish these extracts, given the use you make of them. But I feel it is my responsibility and I assume it.
In what I read, as in what I published, I only saw one thing. Sister Kasturi points to the egos of all these pretenders to the succession of Babuji. She recalls the message of Babuji who said that to make progress in spirituality, one should forget one's ego. Under these circumstances, how could these people be, even a little bit, the successors of the teachings of Babuji?
She never places herself as a contender, but instead as a simple disciple of Babuji, it is the only "function" she agrees to.
Finally, these texts are from conversations she had with some French abhyasis. She never planned to distribute them. Cyril has transcribed them for dissemination to the group only and has kindly sent them to me. I probably should not have distributed these extracts.

Hello all,
I had some contacts with a disciple of Kasturi who assured me that Kasturi was the only one to spread the teaching of Babuji in all its original purity. I had the time and dared to make a few doubts (is it really possible to spread this teaching in all its original purity?). Before my critical sense (or at least my query), the e-mail discussion was interrupted...!
This blog specializes in research on the Sahaj Marg and has re-awakened our critical sense.
But it is always the same, when one ventures to say that Sister Kasturi, grooso modo, is speaking the same language as the others, one is accused of the crime of "lese-majeste" -., given to the emotional attachment of the moment.
In this, your reaction Elodie, is no different from the abhyasis who are shocked that we do not recognize Chari's true worth.
They all say: "Out of my church, no salvation! " It is odd, is it not?
This reminds me of a book by Jean Klein "Who am I?"
"How can we distinguish the false prophets from the wise?
From the opening to the ultimate, free of any physical research of the teacher, one lives outside the psychological field and its projections and transfers.
A teacher who sees himself as such, needs those who see themselves as followers.
In India, and now in the United States, some do a lot of shopping for gurus and disciples. When one meets the guru, one knows, because it is not outside of one's self, and one becomes more and more independent. If If you do not feel deeply your own autonomy, you can be sure that you are bound by your projection and reaction. "
More to come...

I have spoken to Kasturi and i did not felt comfort and warmth of an enlighten or even loving person when i was talking to her for more then half an hour... to be honest, i wanted to hangup within 10-15 mins itself, but still i wanted to get answers to my questions hence i tolerated her!!!
It was an absolute contrast when i was speaking with Manbhawati devi... she was much like a motherly figure and her each word was dipped in pure love.. i spoke to her for more then two hrs, she use to ask me to stop recording inbetween and told me many secrets about chari and his goon, but i found love and devotion in each word she spoke.
With Kasturi it was hate and negative feeling exactly same as what i felt with chari..
Just wanted to let people know, my experience with kasturi.

Elodie
Come on, Pull yourself together. This too will pass. How is it that you exercise discretion when it comes to Chari and you lose all critical sense when we pronounce the name of Kasturi? You never seem to get rid of this you need to hang on something?
Of course she is "less evil" than Chari. It's against the SRCM of Chari that the Great War is declared. It is there that one finds the real contenders to succeed him, adding also Navneet who is trying to get back the cake through the courts.
The others, outside, are just outsiders. They have 1% of the market share of Sahaj Marg at best.
But ALL rewrite history to suit their sauce, criticize the others, and claim to be the only true guarantor of the legacy of Babuji.
Would Kasturi be right and all the others wrong?
Come on, let's be serious, and accept that we analyze Kasturi as all the others.

Comments and Clarifications by U.S.A. Ex-Preceptor, Michael!
See Michael's SRCM Blog: Inner Circle of SRCM (see older articles for Michael's SRCM experience)
and Michael's Personal Blog: Skai Journey (see older articles for Michael's SRCM experience)
Dear Don,
Since the recent drama within the SRCM I have continued to follow some of the recent Blog activity. I am now so disturbed by what I see, I believe I can no longer watch. I am forced to ask many questions that can never be answered. Questions like:
- Why do so many choose to experience Truth through the words of another human being bold enough to claim to be enlightened, anointed, a Master or a Saint?
- How does one, inspired to pursue a spiritual path, begin with the assumption that they are not worthy of experiencing spiritual Truths directly?
- Why are the alleged spiritual “Truths” uttered by the “Enlightened Ones”, always impossible to substantiate and always seem to require that the disciple completely abdicate any responsibility for discrimination or verification via direct experience or research?
- Why do these “Truths” always seem to conveniently promote the “interests” of the “Enlightened Ones” espousing them?
I am sad. I am sad to see that even those disillusioned with the SRCM deception continue to believe unsubstantiated, invented and revised facts and history . I am sad to see yet another religion being created that puts the service of the religious organization above the individual’s spiritual journey.
Does it really matter whether Babuji was a “Special Personality” if the legacy he left behind is a hand-full of bickering disciples who revise history to defend their authority? Are there any Saints, Gurus, Presidents or Guides living today in the SRCM legacy who teach that we all are divine and capable of experiencing spiritual Truths directly? I see self-serving and false humility masquerading as “Service to the Master/Mission”. I see facts created out of thin air or channeled from an unseen world that can only be taken on faith. I see demands for unquestioning trust and obedience in a single spiritual authority.
There was a time when I desired to pursue the Truth of SRCM - to discover what Lalaji really represented and how that translated to SRCM. In this pursuit I met one of Lalaji’s last living, direct disciples many years ago. He remains alive today. He gave me some hope that at least Lalaji’s legacy came from a place of integrity. Now that every faction of SRCM has conceded that SRCM does not come from Lalaji, dare I say there is no value in pursing the matter any further. Such a pursuit only serves to satisfy the curiosity of the onlookers of a train wreck.
There are a few things, however that I have come to know to be Truth:
1. The effectiveness of a meditation practice is NOT what is experienced during meditation, but is in fact the behavior of practitioners when they are NOT meditating.
2. We are all on an Infinite Journey and there is no goal reached that completes that Journey. The Infinite Journey itself IS the Goal.
3. The only Faith required on our Infinite Journey is the Faith in the fact that we are already enlightened.
While we’re on the subject of truth, I would like to set straight some erroneous statements being made about me:
- I was NOT a member of Chari’s Inner Circle – I was merely allowed to get close enough to look in.
- Chari did NOT arrange my marriage. He merely gave it his blessing, although had he not, the marriage would not have happened.
With this said, I think I have seen enough and will go back to ignoring the drama and getting back to what really matters in my life.
Love,
Michael

Kasturi Revisits Lalaji, Babuji and the Sahaj Marg(tm) of Chari!
Article: Lalaji and Babuji
Like the tale of Alice in Wonderland, the 1865 novel written by the "opium smoking" English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, the tale of Shri Ram Chandra Mission (SRCM-California-1997) and Sahaj Marg (tm) gets curiouser and curiouser as it "evolves" and is re-visioned by ONE and ALL ...
Addictions seem to carry similar symptoms!! Be they addictions to substances and/or "power", or the religious addictions (Opiates of the Masses) to "specialness", "uniqueness", "the chosen", and/or to one's own self-delusion and self-importance!!
We, self-deluded Homo Sapiens, on a small rocky living planet EARTH (Gaia), orbiting an average star (Sun or Sol) in an average barred spiral Galaxy (Milky Way) , in an average cluster (the Local Group) are not that "important"!! WE are simply a part of LIFE, and not more important than the leaves of grass ...
The addictive and suggestive Masses love a parade and a party ... Sahaj Marg (tm), the product of SRCM (California-1997), has a market !!

Lalaji and Babuji
According to Sister Kasturi, Lalaji prayed for seven months to request a " special personality". Then he (Lalaji) had the vision of a child of six days old in Shahjahanpur and told himself that if this child was able to absorb the transmission of power then it is because he is from the Ultimate. He immersed himself in Babuji and, from there, he (Lalaji) began living in him (the child) for his protection.
Lalaji, this great Muslim (Sufi) saint, came into this world to give us Babuji, a "special personality", and that's why we love Lalaji.
Today the body of Babuji is gone, but the special personality is still there, because his work is not finished. He will become silent when the work is completed. "Babuji continues his work, his power is active. He is the master of these times. " There can not be a successor to a special personality, because it comes from the Centre. "Very soon he (Chari) will be forfeited, and the truth will break out, Babuji is at work! "

The Dates:
Lalaji was born February 2, 1873.
At 18, in 1891, he began his work for the civil service ... He meets his Sufi Master (Huzur) at "18 years old" (1891).
Five years later, at age 23, Lalaji is initiated (the "bay't" Sufi ceremony) into the Naqshbandiya Sufi Group of Huzur, on January 23, 1896, at 5 PM.
Lalaji completed his Sufi "training" on October 11, 1896, nine months later.
Sahaj Marg (tm) site:
http://www.sahajmarg.org/lalaji-maharaj
NaqshMuMRa Nexus site:

Babuji was born: April 30, 1899. He met Lalaji a couple of times before the death of Lalaji in 1931.
So Lalaji is only a member of the Naqshbandiya Sufi group for 3 years, and already he prays for a "Special Personality"?
This "special personality", it is for his Sufi group (Naqshbandiya), or to start a "new group"? The Sahaj Marg that Babuji invented in 1945, 14 years after the death of Lalaji?
And this "special personality" (Babuji?), by February 14, 1963, he said that "Lalaji's Muslim groups", have "breathe their last" (are finished ... dead ...) and Sahaj Marga is the only "connection" with DIVINE?
Is that what Kasturi is preaching?? And where is the respect for the groups who continue the Sufi tradition of Lalaji? And where is the respect for other religions?
And Babuji did not continue the method of Lalaji, his master, but he invented the Sahaj Marg with Lalaji as its first Master?
Then according to Kasturi, Lalaji now has a place in Sahaj Marg?? She said recently that Lalaji has nothing to do with Sahaj Marg??
Did Kasturi "invent" another History of Sahaj Marg, too? Another "revisionist history"?

Hello Don,
What I understood from what Kasturi said, is that Lalaji played a role in the arrival on earth of Babuji as the "special personality". Lalaji is a precursor, but he did not invent the Sahaj Marg and is not part of the Mission. She describes him as "a great Muslim saint" .

@ Elodie
You've become the mouthpiece of Kasturi! I suppose that what you write is from what Cyrille has passed on to you, is that not so? It says nothing else about Chari?
Value does not wait for years...
I agree with Don. Lalaji was only 26 when he (allegedly) prayed for a special personality, it is only 8 years since he met Huzur, and barely three years since he was initiated ... Even better, he immersed himself inside a child who is only 6 days old! Hard to believe that a young fellow who's master has not yet appointed to succeed him, would take the responsibility of praying for the coming of a "special personality" and then to plunge into a baby, while that meditation is prohibited before 18 years of age ...
Kasturi... the revisionist
From what I understand in what you bring, Kasturi is rewriting the history by deifying Babuji. "Special Personality", it means everything and specially, it means nothing particular. Lalaji asks the heavens (the central region, the divine or whatever you want to call it) that it send it's representative on earth. It is heard beyond his dreams since arrives the Bab (Babuji) who fills all his requirements and more, because even after his death, he continues the job!
The similarity of the analogy with the Catholic religion is striking, even for an unbeliever. I seem to see Saint John the Baptist in Lalaji, announcing the coming of the Savior, Jesus Babuji.
Otherwise, there is a continuity of discourse on Lalaji by Kasturi, he is behind the coming of the Great Bab, but he is a Muslim, and Bab surpassed Sufism completely by creating the Sahaj Marg, THE ONLY new doctrine of value, and which buries all the others. Lalaji therefore has a marginal role in the Sahaj Marg and he is not a Master as there is uniquely only one, and there never will be a another, Great Bab.
It is true that it is difficult to succeed a God, then Babuji did not replace Lalaji, and Chari obviously can not succeed Babuji.
Kasturi... the medium
"Very soon he [Chari] will be forfeited, and the truth will break out, Babuji is at work!" Here, it becomes gigantic. After the French medium of Chari who announces that Ajay Bhatter will revert to being simply an abhyasi, here is Kasturi, the medium who tells us that the truth will break out SOON and that Chari will be forfeited.
The version of the history of Sahaj Marg according to Kasturi is that Babuji is the only divine representative on earth and beyond. Her focus on the personality eventually becomes as monstrous as all the "over the edge" of Chari. She has deified Babuji, the Sahaj Marg is summed up in one word, Babuji.
Dangerous, all that ...

And yet, here is what Lalaji writes on 09.12.1930, a year before his death at age 58 years old (young) ... The cause of death is not included or explained ...
A letter dated 12/09/1930, written by Rev.. Laalaaji Maharaaj, Addressed to Shri Madan Mohan Laal, Who Was Then the center-in-charge of Shahjahanpur, IS in this context Meaningful. "... Because of your transfer from Shahjahanpur, There Is a Likelihood of Being spoiled the function. So on my behalf "and Own On That of my elders, I invite the attention of Pandit Rameshwar Prasad Br to Agree to take up this work in hand DURING your absence. May God Give Him courage and perseverance. That One Will dear, Perhaps, discipline and dismissal on condition of Honor after casting off That small portion of boyhood, WHICH IS very Negligible in Him now, due to Loved The Demand of age. May God help HIM. Brother Ram Chandra undoubtedly Has Ability and agility in this respect, I am sorry that purpose due to limitations of Loved father, narrowness of heart and space, and intricacies of Loved home, my sagacity Did Not allowed me For the Time Being to throw the responsibility on him." ...
He does not seem to speak of a "special personality" or even of a personality more "elevated" than the others ... If he knows he will die soon, he transmits no "power" or "spirit" to Babuji ... He speaks rather of his "narrowness of heart" ...
It seems to me that this group invents their "lineage" ...
Before the Internet it could pass, but now we have more information!

Hello Alexis and Don
I find you very hard with Sister Kasturi. She perhaps reinterprets a few things her way because of her great devotion to Babuji, but also she is the most honest of them all and probably the only one truly engaged in a spiritual quest without afterthoughts.
No Alexis, I am not the 'voice of Sister Kasturi ". I only summarize very briefly a small part of the exchange she had with the French disciples. Cyrille and his group will soon publish their exchange with her, they are her true representatives if at all. I'm just attracted by her spiritual dimension, she is the only one who seems serious in all the trash from the Sahaj Marg.

Cyril Borg Said: (Freedom From Sahaj Marg Community on Orkut)
Hi all
Recently, (February, 2010) Kasturi spoke to some of her European followers and Cyrille sent the transcript to Elodie who commented on her blog site in Europe: Pour Que Vive Le Sahaj Marg (long life Sahaj Marg)... (French... Translate with Google Translate)
http://pourquevivelesahajmarg.blogspot.c
The last sentence in Elodie's comments on this 25 page manuscript which will be published by Kasturi's disciples is a direct quote and reads:
"Very soon he [Chari] will be forfeited, and the truth will break out, Babuji is at work! "
The French word used by Kasturi is "dechu" which means: fallen as in "fallen angel", or dethroned (as in a "king"), or deposed ( as in a "leader") but also means: deprived, waned, faded (as in fortune, power, prestige, etc...)
Is Sister Kasturi now attempting at "prophesy" or is she now "channeling" and is becoming a "medium"? Is it just "wishful thinking" as she loses more ground to Chari who is now invading her Lucknow area for his "Parties and Feasts" ?
The Masses love a PARTY and a PARADE!! Chari will give them both as he sits on his THRONE to be adored by ALL...
