Guest guest Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 To all my brothers and sisters who are devotees of the Great Adi Shakti, i would like to present a scathing letter addressed to all of us regarding Shri Mataji and Sahaja Yoga: " 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. Alex " As far as i am concerned it encapsulates the critical issues that plagues this organization, issues that i have experienced first- hand. i will just give one incident. We had a public program going on and there was a Polish woman who kept returning every week to attend them. After more than two months she began to suspect that Shri Mataji was not just any ordinary human being but far more that what the SYs were telling her, i.e. a great guru. The reason she felt so was because not only she was feeling the Cool Breeze daily but Shri Mataji had solved serious problems at her workplace. (She had meditated and asked Shri Mataji to help her after her boss made working conditions unbearable.) So naturally she deduced that Shri Mataji was more than a great guru. She kept asking " Who is this Shri Mataji? " " Is She divine? " But none of the SYs answered her persistent questions honestly and were evasive. i told those in charge of this public program that we should be forthright and just tell her the truth that Shri Mataji is the Adi Shakti. However, they replied that they cannot do so as it would frighten her into leaving Sahaja Yoga! Since i was also quite new to Sahaja Yoga and a bit intimidated that i should obey those in charge, i kept quiet. (At that time i still could not believe that i was my own master .............. in every sense of the word.) But this Polish woman was persistent and kept asking, " Is Shri Mataji a Divine Person? " But the standard answer was that She is a great guru. Fed-up with the stonewalling this new seeker quit Sahaja Yoga, never to come back again. i was so disgusted by the whole incident that i stopped coming for public programs, and will continue doing so until the members of my collective are courageous enough to declare that Shri Mataji is the Adi Shakti, the least that is demanded to announce Her message of the Last Judgment and Resurrection. Till today Alex's letter continues to prick my conscience. So fellow SYs, it's time we welcome criticism and work to rectify the problems instead of putting our heads in the sand and not paying attention ................... and expecting them to just go away. The truth is that they just won't and, on the contrary will only make matters worse. So we " sahaja yogis must face the issues presented by those who challenge them. " Any feedback from those who have just joined this forum? Jai Shri Mataji, jagbir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 Hi, Some of you will notice that the post number jumped from 1 to 3, with number 2 missing. i would just like to inform that i was just testing how this forum works and deleted post number 2. Apparently any time any post is deleted by the moderator the post number also gets deleted. So actually nothing is amiss.
