They have lost touch with global reality and the pace of progress of other yoga schools. Their deafening silence and stubborn reluctance to tell the Truth -- WHY you need to get your awakening and WHY you need to get closer to the source and WHY Shri Mataji is here and WHY all religions need to raise their Kundalinis and WHY humans prepare themselves for the very near future -- betrays both a lack of common sense and vision. They just have no idea of what SYs are against or what the vast majority of humans think yoga is all about, or that it is unethical to tell others that Sahaja Yoga is about self-realization and subtle system without explaining the far more important and relevant WHY to keep seekers permanently. And there is nothing they have been able do otherwise for the last three decades to stop the quick exit of most newcomers to SY programs. But other yoga schools are thriving and mushrooming all over, especially over the last decade. Let me give you just one example of a successful yoga teacher Bikram Choudary. He " opened his first yoga school in 1973, in San Francisco, and now claims over 900 schools worldwide.... Choudhury claims that the 26 postures he has strung together in a sequence, and which his followers perform, twice per session, in room heated to 105 degrees, is his intellectual property. He says, further, that these poses cannot be taught, either in the same sequence or any derivative thereof, without the teacher having graduated from his personal training program, the going rate for which is $1,500 per person.... In the US, where the popularity of yoga is underlined by an estimated 19 million practitioners and annual revenues in the region of $25 billion, his Bikram Yoga school is front-runner – thanks, in no small part, to celebrity clients ranging from pop diva Madonna to tennis superstar Serena Williams. " 19 million people are paying $25 billion to learn about yoga! SYs have spent so much energy, time and money over decades. Yet Sahaja Yoga continues to grow ever obscure despite all we have done. So if our leaders want us to keep on this chakra charade they will just get what they deserve: 40 million people paying $50 billion to learn about yoga, and none joining the free Sahaja Yoga classes. Maybe the empty public programs in North America, Europe and Australia are still not sufficient cause for alarm. Well, we will wait and witness the situation going from bad to worse. But for how long will this chakra charade continue before the common sense of WHY prevails - 5, 10, 20 years? jagbir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
