Shri Mataji: "No hypocrisy, otherwise you will spoil ... name of Sahaja Yoga"

July 20, 2009

Dear devotees of the Comforter,

Namaste - i bow to the Paraclete who resides in you! Today is the first anniversary of Blossom Day. We celebrate July 20 as Blossom Day, the day Shri Mataji in a farewell speech gave all Her devotees unprecedented powers to spread Her Advent and Message.

i will just quote a few lines to emphasize the title of this post:


Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi “So today I want to tell you, what are the qualities we needed for a guru. First of all he should be a detached person. That doesn't mean you give up your family or anything. But you should have a detached attitude that anybody from your family does wrong, you should go away from them, sort it out. Secondly, through your realization you can see that you can spread happiness, and remove their problems. You have seen whatever I have done you can do it. You have got power to do it. But no hypocrisy. No hypocrisy, otherwise you will spoil the name of Sahaja Yoga. So if you are sure about yourself, then really you should become guru, and carry the work of Sahaja Yoga. I think I gave you all my blessings, and all my support that now you take over and become guru.”

Shri Mataji, 2008 Guru Puja

According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary hypocrisy is"A feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not ; especially: the false assumption of an appearance of virtue or religion.”
We have repeatedly and openly stated that Sahaja Yoga is the Great News of the Last Judgment delivered by the Paraclete sent by God Almighty in the name of Jesus Christ. Unlike the official SY organization, we have never feigned claims that spoil the name of Sahaja Yoga. For example, the official UK Sahaja Yoga sites claims that"Sahaja Yoga is a registered UK charity offering free meditation and stress management courses across the UK. On this site will you will learn about our free meditation classes, the work we do to support local communities and our culture.”

The UAE Sahaja Yoga homepage, like a number of other official national sites, suports the UK approach:

"STRESS MANAGEMENT
What is stress?
Stress is anything that brings mental and emotional pressure that leads to fear, anxiety, worry, apprehensions, anger and even excitement and the body responds in a prompt, speedy and inefficient way. According to medical professionals, 90-95% of illnesses in modern era can be blamed on psychological forces; 98% headaches originate due to stress and stress also manifests itself into many other physical ailments like indigestion, acidity and life-killers like heart attacks.” (end)

Neither do we give the false/vague assumption of an appearance of virtue or religion. For example, the official Sahaja Yoga site claims that"Sahaja Yoga is a unique method of meditation based on an experience called Self Realization (Kundalini awakening) that can occur within each human being. Through this process an inner transformation takes place by which one becomes moral, united, integrated and balanced. One can actually feel the all pervading divine power as a cool breeze, as described in all religions and spiritual traditions of the world.”

Last, but not the least, no one can accuse us of the following:

"It is astonishing that the sahaja yogis, who believe Shri Mataji to be the savior of humanity prophecied by many religious scriptures, have not the conviction to promote her to the world openly, honestly and unashamedly as that. Promotion of the savior will draw more serious attention from many more people than do the current vague claims about stress relief and peace of mind. This lack of conviction speaks volumes and is the same reason they fail to respond to those who challenge SY. You simply can't be one thing and then attempt to portray yourself as another - no matter how clever you are, it shows and people see it very clearly. This is called hypocrisy. It indicates the vast majority of sahaja yogis are in a state of denial.

On the premise that Shri Mataji is indeed the Adi Shakti, on what basis do the sahaja yogis take it upon themselves to discriminate as to whom is delivered the message of her present incarnation and by what convoluted process that message is selectively delivered? To take upon themselves to make such discriminations is an expression of an elitist, missionary culture motivated by power and authority over others. The message must be very plain and simple if every person on the planet is to be afforded the opportunity to draw their own conclusions about the goddess incarnate. Why do the sahaja yogis make something so simple so complicated?. Why are they doing so poor a job in telling the world of Shri Mataji, when as the goddess she will surely stand and be recognised as the reality they claim she is?

My parting word is that like it or not, Shri Mataji and her sahaja yogis must face the issues presented by those who challenge them. Intelligent response is required and what remains to be seen is whether they are capable of this. The longer they avoid it, the more SY will be clearly identified to be lacking in credibility and its members in integrity. The more they will appear to be a cultish throw- back to the dark ages. I recommend the sahaja yogis today change their whole approach and start promoting SY as what it is - a religion focused around a personality who has claimed, and is understood by them, to be the Adi Shakti, divine mother of the universe. This is, after all, the year of exposure for SY.

May truth prevail.”

As i have said, we have repeatedly and openly stated that Sahaja Yoga is the Great News of the Last Judgment delivered by the Paraclete sent by God Almighty in the name of Jesus Christ: https://adishakti.org/forum/shri_mataji_i_am_the_one_paraclete_about_which_christ_has_talked.htm

On this Blossom Day, we are indeed following to the letter Shri Mataji's advice that there should be"No hypocrisy, otherwise you will spoil the name of Sahaja Yoga.”
