Thank you Sampalee for bringing these salient points that reflect SY
collectives worldwide. It is the same sad situation all over the
world, whether in Kiev, Kolkatta or Kuala Lumpur. Contrary to what
senior SYs may think, it is those standing up to demand reform and
have the courage to change things who will ultimately triumph where
others have failed. i presume that the first World Council for the
advancement of Sahaja Yoga came up with nothing, given the silence
despite great expectations. It was the FIRST meeting. Have we really
become bankrupt of ideas and sense of direction? All we know is that
Shri Mataji donated the bulk of Her properties to SYs. Other than
this there is nothing else to give hope that things will change.
But things must change drastically. Your observation with a
compassionate eye and Alex's scrutiny with a critical mind brings
into sharp focus the pressing problems that need to be addressed
less they spread to the Yuvashakti. However, i believe they are
already infected and that is why SYs behave like paranoid puppets
afraid of this non-SY world. It will take years for this mindset to
be healed and i am really getting concerned with their obsession
with the mundane, whether it is catches, cures or creepy crawlies.
If they are so sick and afraid how can the much advertised and hyped
claim that Sahaja Yoga leads to the development of healthy bodies
and mind be true?
Alex has good reason not to send anyone to the local collective
since he is afraid they are going to end up becoming paranoid
puppets. Chances are they will most probably leave in
disillusionment and never come back, or become infected and diseased
if they enter a catch-conscious collective. This is a lose-lose
situation, a powerful negativity that continues to consume the
prodigious energies SYs have put over the years to spread Sahaja
Yoga.
A friend of mine rang me up yesterday. He was a SY for a few years
and left in the mid-1990s. For the last few months he has been
meditating again after i questioned his fallen state and reminded
who Shri Mataji was and why She was on Earth. So after nearly a
decade he had expected the North American collective to be in the
thousands. i replied that it was less than 1000, with South America
thrown in. He was shocked. He questioned: "Didn't they start
announcing?"
Thus, that is the real problem retarding our progress. We SYs are
just not being honest about Shri Mataji's core message, and
transparent in the problems affecting Sahaja Yoga. Unlike the
devotees of Sai Baba (or Amma, Chinmoy, Rev. Moon etc.) SYs just do
not have the guts or conviction to even meekly whimper in public
what they so bravely roar in the privacy of Her pujas. This is the
biggest hypocrisy and one that makes me most ashamed.
Yes, Sai Baba has a lot of power with politicians, businessmen and
even Muslims worshipping him. His devotees have been declaring that
he is the Bhagwan (and Adi Shakti as well) for decades. So have the
devotees of Amma and all others. All this has brought forth much
success in the form of numbers.
But the internet is just beginning to expose and destroy these false
gurus, and opening the eyes of their misled followers who will look
for alternatives. At the same time religious organizations are being
battered with criminal wrongdoings and scriptural falsehood. Their
disillusioned faithful are leaving in droves. The modern age of mass
communications enables instant transmission of knowledge that leaves
none immune. People are beginning to know about 'bad religion' and
are increasingly seeking spiritual paths that self-empower and allow
self-enlightenment. This seismic shift in consciousness is just
being set in motion. All these new race of seekers will look for a
great guru. Those who know want, and will wait for the arrival of,
the promised Messiah.
The great Adi Shakti Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi completed Her job
years ago and laid the groundwork to overcome all false gurus and
bad religions. There is absolutely nothing left for Her to do as She
has entrenched Herself in all scriptures, one that even a billion
fanatical followers cannot dislodge. SYs should not insult
themselves by wondering how to spread Her message, or why so few are attracted to Sahaja Yoga. The writing is now on the wall. All we can
pretend is not to acknowledge the simple plain truth.
Yes, we are also wondering how on earth can genuine-like SY fare so
badly in relation to cult-like sai baba. But have no fear because the
camel will drink the water, ............... eventually.
