A French Centre wrote an Open Letter
Ines message feel me enthusiastic.
I would like to help meeting between abhyasis from here and there with this blog. This open Letter of a Center is an additional stage. It is the proof that there can be collective awakenings about the overflows of Shri Ram Chandra Mission. That is marvellous.
«Je viens de recevoir par un ami vos coordonnées... alors que ce matin même, nous achevions dans notre centre une lettre ouverte exprimant toutes nos inquiétudes et notre désaccord par rapport à la tournure que prend la SRCM.»
«Je pratique depuis... 17 ans cette année le Sahaj Marg et j'ai pu éprouver les bénéfices de cette méthode. Mais aujourd'hui, je suis dans l'incompréhension la plus totale quant aux options financières et "commerciales" que prend la SRCM.»
«On se pose la question... ne va-t-on pas vers une spiritualité élitiste qui serait à l'opposé du but et des objectifs initiaux de l'association créée par Babuji?»
«Je suis "contente" que ce blog existe; il a au moins le mérite de constituer un forum d'échanges libres et authentiques...»
It is fantastic!
The place of this Open Letter is here.
We must publish it. Its diffusion must be the biggest. Our actions are complementary. It is necessary for us to combine them for having the best effects...

Total Obedience
No free expression
Richard is right, money is not the lonely problem.
Richard is right, money is not the lonely problem.
Free expression is impossible in SRCM. Abhyasis can't communicate plainly and openly.
Our well-known Brother Clark Powell made a blog in May 2004. Chari didn't be pleased, then he said to stop the blog in the beginning of Juliet: "I have been seeing the mails between you and others proliferating, and this causes me disquiet. By this mail I finally request you to stop your website invertendo.com permanently and oblige. I thank you for your obedience."
Why do proliferating mails cause him disquiet ?
Why can't abhyasis speak to each other without Chari's agreement ?
Why is Chari afraid when he doesn't manage something by himself ?
What does he want to conceal ?
In his last trip near Satkhol, Chari was asked by an ahyasi. "What is it that you are most lokking for in an abhyasi who comes to you ?" and his answer, report by Clark Powell in sahaj Sandesh, was : "I don't know what I am looking for. But the easiest way is total obedience. Unquestioning obedience."
But could we accept total obedience when confidence is out ?

Always more money !
... for Shri Ram Chandra Mission
"All the abhyasis subscribed to have a copy of this book for our Centre", said Elodie. "It was in English, Chariji forbade us to translate it and even to read some extracts in small groups. The official reason was that a French version would come later."
Actually, in autumn, Chariji asked French abhyasis for US$ 300 to obtain this French version. They had to pay before the end of 2005, for a delivery in the beginning of 2007. And he forbade them to purchase it in groups. Why ?
But it is not US$ 250 or US$ 300 which is necessary to pay anymore, that is US$ 1000 ! And Shri Ram Chandra Mission announce that it would be limited to the first 2000 suscribers…
It was just to have a big rush of all the abhyasis because Shri Ram Chandra Mission wanted 2 millions before the end of 2005.
And now, in 2006, after the rush, Shri Ram Chandra Mission told us we have more time to pay for the French version of "Whispers", and there is no limit of number for AVCF anymore…
Our Beloved Master Chariji laugh at all of us.
Why everything is suddenly so expensive ? Sahaj Marg is not only reserved for the richest abhyasis. Babuji said : "meditation is free". How us, "poor" abhyasis, are we going to do ? It is already necessary to pay our plane tickets and the registration seminars. It is also necessary to pay to have publications which increase all the time. It is not possible anymore !
Why does Chariji want always more money ?
I do not understand anymore.

In the last spring, Chariji asked us to buy blindly the book "Whispers from the Brighter World".
It was not yet printed at this time, it had no title and Chariji refused to say what there was inside. He told us to pay US$ 250 only because we trusted him. Later, it would be too late even if we gave him millions dollars.

Chariji did not stop in so good way. Immediately, Shri Ram Chandra Mission proposed an Audio Video Corpus Fund (AVCF). Since a long time, we have the possibility of life subscribing to our magazine "Constant Remembrance" since a long time. Then, Shri Ram Chandra Mission do so much for all the audio and video publications. Why not ?
But it is not US$ 250 or US$ 300 which is necessary to pay anymore, that is US$ 1000 ! And Shri Ram Chandra Mission announce that it would be limited to the first 2000 suscribers…

Long life to Sahaj Marg...
...without this mad Shri Ram Chandra Mission
I am practicing Sahaj Marg since a long time. I never found equivalent spiritual method anywhere else.
I am practicing Sahaj Marg since a long time. I never found equivalent spiritual method anywhere else.
I would like to dedicate this blog to the glory of Sahaj Marg. But today I cannot understand Shri Ram Chandra Mission anymore, nor our beloved Master Chariji.
They ask us for more money all of the time. Why ? What happened ?
I asked for explanations. But in my Centre, they refused to answer me and even to listen to me. This situation cannot continue any more.
Sahaj Marg is a magnificent method of education, but Shri Ram Chandra Mission is taking a wrong way. The method is good but the organisation is sick and become mad. I don't know for our beloved Master Chariji anymore.
Others abhyasis also ask questions. Because they refuse discussion inside Shri Ram Chandra Mission, I invite you to do it in this blog.
Rather than to keep silence about the problems, I think it is necessary to talk about, not criticize for criticizing, but to improve the functioning of Shri Ram Chandra Mission and to find solutions.
To protect the future of Sahaj Marg.
