Sahaja Yoga leaders who are even afraid to talk about the Resurrection

From: "jagbir singh" Date: Fri Jan 13, 2006 12:31 am Subject: SY leaders who are even afraid to talk about the Resurrection Dear Violet,

Your sad experience with fellow SYs is but the tip of the iceberg of problems that plague the organization. Shri Mataji's silence and withdrawal, and the chain of events preceding this sudden departure, should be taken as a positive sign. We must be able to see Her Play behind the drama that is being witnessed. i am happy that She has decided to withdraw and retire from affairs to let us SYs take individual effort and responsibility to propagate Her Divine Message. Violet, meditate and you will find joy, strength and encouragement from the Silence. The Adi Shakti never does anything frivolously and Her Mahamaya nature continues to confuse those nearest.

All self-realized souls should try to imbibe this in their routine. Over time you realize how the Paramchaitanya (All Pervading Power) works to help you. This scared relationship cannot be explained because of its subtle nature.

Depending on leaders or senior SYs may be alright for newcomers. But why is there no encouragement to seek answers from within, even though Shri Mataji has told us time and again to introspect? i think this is because few leaders or senior SYs are knowledgeable in Shri Mataji's Divine Message, except perhaps about chakras, catches and cures? i came to realize early that except for those topics they were just like me on other issues. Thus when i begun questioning them on the Divine Message i was shocked at the mediocrity and scarcity of facts, a tribute to its petty, nay pariah, status. It was as if the Holy Scriptures were not important to understand Sahaja Yoga. Now i know they were right all along—there is scarcely any verse on chakras, catches and cures. Since the 3 Cs are discussed daily there is no need to enter the Silence. Most SYs become 3C experts and insist newcomers learn the same and religiously follow the rituals.

Violet, you can see now there is actually little reason to go within since most questions are about chakras, catches and cures. It is only when you want answers that concern the Divine Message does it become necessary to go within. If you comprehend the Holy Scriptures in relation to Shri Mataji's talks, the Silence will help you find answers. You absolutely need such knowledge but many SYs are satisfied with Grade One stuff.

Try asking leaders/senior SYs about the Last Judgment and Resurrection in relationship to the Holy Scriptures and Shri Mataji's talks and you will realize how ignorant many are. Sure they know a lot of stories and facts about Shri Mataji's life, or details about contemporary affairs. But does this external knowledge nourish your spiritual growth?

So again we come back to the same question: "What spiritual knowledge do they possess that requires consulting them for expert advice?”All spiritual/religious knowledge has already been given by Shri Mataji to last us a lifetime. We can only go within and seek answers in Silence. That is the true meaning of being our own masters.

i agree it is easier to get better answers from someone who was never conditioned by any religion, and is just interested in projecting the Truth from all.

It is the only tool left to control those who refuse to conform to their methods, or are not afraid of being open and honest. If too many SYs become their own masters there will be little leverage left. The threat of excommunication works by isolating the guilty party. It is time to realize that it also enables the exiled to come closer/seek solace from the Shakti within. Ultimately She will become the most loyal friend they can have. Excommunication is actually a blessing in disguise, one that i have always enjoyed.

This is a cruel thing to do. i am saddened by the method used to create self-doubt and guilt. Are these people self-realized souls? Is this the way the Inquisytion hounds those SYs who want to answer questions by relating to their own experiences? This is really a mean and adharmic act that must have the blessings of management SYs. i say so because they must have discussed your participation on the forum and presume i may have possessed you. In that case i must be possessed too since all my children are already possessed. Remember ex-world leader Yogi Mahajan?

Such SYs have special words to label you.”Ego"," left- sided"," catching"," possessed"And"going out of Sahaja Yoga"Are the more common terms.

Some leaders think they are an authority to be reckoned with, and obeyed. If you do not sooner or later you will be discussed and labeled. Violet, for you to be pasted with a"possessed"label means you do not defer to authority i.e., your opinions clash/contradict with that of leaders/senior SYs. Remember, i have possessed you and made you adamant about being truthful about the Divine Message. All who want to be honest and truthful about Sahaja Yoga will be possessed too. It is a ready-made label for conscientious protestors.

But don't be surprised that some SYs are willing to brand/harass you on their bidding. They may think they are actually helping you. Now i know how exorcists feel about helping possessed victims.

Perhaps the greatest tragedy is that of SY leaders who are even afraid to talk about the Resurrection. But Violet, all the top leaders have fallen one after another and bit the dust. i do not see any leader rising anymore and those in charge will fade away over the years. Without the Divine Message official Sahaja Yoga is just like a pea amongst hundreds of yoga pods available in the market. Few seekers are now interested in the free self-realization and chakras lessons. All the hype of so many people getting self-realization at so and so place is getting quieter and infrequent. Despite all the propaganda some SYs have begun to read the graffiti is on the wall that the emperors have no clothes.

So let them label you as possessed. That is their final parting curse for being your own master, one who is able to articulate the Divine Message of the Resurrection to fellow humans. Just remain firmly established in Truth and Dharma till all obstacles are overcome. One day your oppressors will be a distant memory, a bad dream you would rather forget. Begin to enjoy the bliss of a global collective being created to propagate Her Divine Message of the Resurrection. Look forward to discharging your duties towards the Adi Shakti by collectively helping to commence Satya Yuga by 2013. Just forget them.

Jai Shri Mataji,
