It is the proclamation that He was the Son of God which ultimately cost Him His life, compounded by refusal to back down. Subsequently, the post-Easter period saw His frightened followers spreading the Good News privately. Despite secrecy many were martyred and fed to the lions as sport to amuse the Romans. However, over time the Good News was proclaimed openly and led to the rapid rise of Christianity. The same happened during the time of Prophet Muhammad - initial resistance to God's message, plots of assassination, the Hegira in 622 where Muhammad flees to Medina; and in 630 Muhammad returns in triumph and captures Mecca. This led to the phenomenal rise of Islam as His followers boldly proclaimed Mohammed's message, and many were martyred in the process. The cornerstone of the rise of both Christianity and Islam is that the believers braved life and limb in order to stand steadfast to the Truth. They all announced the message of the Incarnation. Fast forward to 2003. The world is far safer than what the devotees of Jesus or Prophet Muhammad had to endure. It is filled with all types of technological marvels to reach every corner of the globe in the blink of an eye. Never has it been so much easier to spread the Adi Shakti's message of the Last Judgment and the Resurrection to the human race. But what do we have? SYs living in collective caves fearful of even venturing out to proclaim the Truth. They feebly whisper about subtle systems to the masses made deaf by the roar of exotic autos and din of disco music. No one is paying the least attention and yet they persist, year after year, decade after decade. Then there are a few who decide to boldly take Shri Mataji's message to the masses. They have repeatedly listened to Her late 70s and early 80s speeches where She exhorts Her followers, time and gain, to declare Her advent and the truth of the Last Judgment and Al- Qiyamah. Websites are set up to present proof of Her divinity and evidence of the Good News. After nearly 4 years and hundreds of thousands of visitors later, no voice of dissent is heard. Not even a single human, not even the most unforgiving Muslims, dare lift a finger to denounce the sites. Instead of appreciating the tremendous work to publicly announce Shri Mataji's message and the utter lack of resistance to Her Last Judgment and Al-Qiyamah, small groups of Saugstads, Kuntal Soods and Yogi Mahajans work diligently to undermine those who risk than, man and dhan (body, mind and wealth) to follow Her explicit instructions. These Pauls and Peters of Sahaja Yoga use their influence to demonize those who dare defy them, and instead choose to announce the Truth as Shri Mataji has done over the last 30 years – loud and clear that it is the Age of the Last Judgment! Since they are unable/unwilling to do so they insist that all SYs toe this line. Well, the time has come for these Saugstads, Kuntal Soods and Yogi Mahajans to finally act. Either take up this issue with Shri Mataji and tell Her that i have begun to undermine the spread of Sahaja Yoga, or just keep quiet. It is all in black and white and i am not one who will back off. Saugstad, it is time to show your emails to Shri Mataji. jagbir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
