Dear Violet et all,

 

Shri Mataji did form the WCASY specifically to streamline, organize

and support efforts to stimulate the further growth of Sahaja Yoga.

It was to _revive_ the sagging/stagnant progress of SY collectives.

WCASY was supposed to be the new central command. So instead of

loose cannons of individual leaders firing off erratically on their

own in all directions there was supposed to be a central command post

pinpointing the targets and blazing away in a concentrated burst of

devastating firepower ........... the shock and awe blitz.

 

" The World Council - WCASY

 

In December, 2003, before She left America, Shri Mataji created The

World Council for the Advancement of Sahaja Yoga. The purpose of this

body is to stimulate the further growth of Sahaja Yoga and to provide

support to the efforts of all the national collectives.

 

The World Council for the Advancement of Sahaja Yoga is composed of

34 members designated as world leaders. Advisors of the Council for

financial, legal and communications affairs have also been

identified. The Council is expected to meet twice a year.

 

The announcement from Shri Mataji reads as follows:

 

" The world is in turmoil today. People everywhere are anxious about

the future. What they need is the soothing, uniting, elevating

spiritual message of Sahaja Yoga. They have to be enabled to

experience " Self Realization " and thereby attain inner

transformation. Only then will they begin to regard all human beings

as members of one global family regardless of their race, culture

etc. Only then will they discard hatred and violence.... Sahaja Yogis

have a momentous responsibility at this crucial time in human

history. They have to spread Sahaja Yoga in all the parts of the

world by written and spoken word.... For this purpose, a well thought

out approach is required. "

But instead of uniting in purpose and duty the bickering generals

unfortunately began turning their canons on each other ..........

with devastating damage. Within a short time WCASY was bombed out and

now looks more like a crumbling and pock-marked bunker than anything

resembling an organization to enlighten humanity.

 

Then the fighting intensified and took a new level of intensity and

viciousness. It was the discovery of a new alliance between generals

that triggered the internal purge and hand to hand combat:

 

 

" Dear Avinash,

 

honour to you for sharing openly with us your introspection.

 

I was expecting an official reply from our coordinator and our

secretary who are usually very efficient in burocratic matters, but

it seems that ”your voice is calling in the desert”. We probably have

to consider that a few members of the Council are not aware of many

situations, but most of them know and find more confortable and

secure to hide their head under the sand. Your questions are just the

same i’m receiving since months from hundreds of sahaja yogis who are

hearing rumors and indiscretions from different parts and are

insistently pushing to know the truth, what’s going on, and asking

why the WCASY is not giving any information. We have been always

judging with disgust and sarcasm the various Pauls and Abu Baqr in

the recent history of religions and now, while Our Guru, Mother and

Incarnation is still alive we have to witness the foundation of a

new “church” which could be anything else but NOT sahaja yoga. We all

know NOW about a drug given to Sri Mataji by ....God knows...wich

seems to have devastating effects, and we all know about the

existence of a letter written by Her personally a few years back in

which She is expressing Her will in case of sickness of Her body.

 

(http://www.adishakti.org/images/sm_1998_letter.JPG)

 

Yes, Avinash, i’m totally sharing all your feelings and concerns and

i don’t want one day to be judged by my children and by the history

as one of those who were hiding and witnessing. I’m very happy to

offer my head to be chopped off in your support for this noble cause,

being careful only with any action wich would directly or indirectly

cause any damage to the image of Our Holy Mother and to the

credibility of sahaja yoga.

 

With love . Guido. "

 

 

The USA viewed this as an unforgivable treachery and sent their hit

man Alan Wherry in a clandestine operation that ended in the

assassination of General Guido Lanza, Sergey Perezhogin, Avinash and

a few others. Traitors who helped him track down these prisoners of

conscience were immediately elevated to generals.

 

Flushed with the blitzkrieg of victory and having tasted the blood of

their enemies the WCASY set new frontiers to conquer. The negativity,

now fully swollen and blinded by its own power, set their sights on

the ultimate power of God Almighty - the Will of His Shakti !!! In a

blasphemous maneuver of satanic proportion they claimed themselves to

be representatives of Her Will ..................... and proudly

announced the success of their diabolical mission. There are no words

to describe the mentality of these mad men.

 

The negativity that has overpowered WCASY so quickly has today

morphed it into anything but a spiritual organization of realized

souls to advance Her Advent and Divine Message. Do not empower them

in any way.

 

But let’s look at Shri Mataji’s speech again.

 

" The world is in turmoil today. People everywhere are anxious about

the future. What they need is the soothing, uniting, elevating

spiritual message of Sahaja Yoga. They have to be enabled to

experience " Self Realization " and thereby attain inner

transformation. Only then will they begin to regard all human beings

as members of one global family regardless of their race, culture

etc. Only then will they discard hatred and violence.... Sahaja Yogis

have a momentous responsibility at this crucial time in human

history. They have to spread Sahaja Yoga in all the parts of the

world by written and spoken word.... For this purpose, a well thought

out approach is required. "

 

Shri Mataji is clearly referring to SYs. There is not a single

mention that only WCASY members are supposed to “spread Sahaja Yoga

in all the parts of the world by written and spoken word.” WCASY

members are only supposed to streamline, organize and support efforts

to stimulate these efforts by SYs. For this purpose a well thought

out approach is required, and can be easily achieved with three

simple words: “Tell the Truth.” It is the only option that has never

been approved by leaders for decades.

 

So what can we conclude from this sad tale of WCASY? All i see is the

self-destruction of ambitious leaders/madmen capable of building a

powerful SY church to distort Her teachings and advent. We now have

nothing to fear for the future. We now have the total freedom to

discharge our momentous responsibility at this crucial time in human

history the way it was never done before - telling the plain truth!

 

 

regards to all,

[Guest guest]

Dear Jagbir et all,

 

Thank you Jagbir for your answer which was very comprehensive and informative

too. i don't recall ever reading the letter from Guido to Avinash, which really

supports what we also know to be the truth. Not to mention also what Mr.

Perezhogin said. It is therefore of great comfort to know that we had some

courageous World Council Leaders, who were prepared to be 'as you say'...

'poisoned', 'garroted' and 'strangled' (figuratively speaking) in order for the

Truth to be known. It's a pity that more Council Members are not willing to be

as conscientious too. Maybe more will be... given time.

 

It behooves us to remember this pattern then... that firstly a WCASY Member

speaks up and tells the plain truth. Then they are villified, by labelling them

" morally corrupt " in one way or another. But, they are only labelled " morally

corrupt " after telling the plain truth, which is most significant. Therefore, i

agree with your conclusion:

 

" So what can we conclude from this sad tale of WCASY? All i see is the

self-destruction of ambitious leaders/madmen capable of building a powerful SY

church to distort Her teachings and advent. We now have nothing to fear for the

future. We now have the total freedom to discharge our momentous responsibility

at this crucial time in human history the way it was never done before - telling

the plain truth!

Dear All,

 

We have a letter in which Guido thanks Avinash for sharing his introspection,

and now we can read about that. Communication via the internet is just so

collective. This could never have happened through 'snail mail'. In this medium,

it is also generally discernible by people, whether what one is saying is the

Truth. It's just that when a person says something with confidence and complete

understanding from the heart, that this in turn reaches other hearts too.

 

" Like Christ said, " l AM THE LIGHT, I AM THE PATH " . Or anybody else can say that

but you can make out that it is not Truth. With the confidence, with that

complete understanding, coming out of your heart people can make out, 'this is

absolute Truth' and then all kinds of falsehood must be denounced. (Shri Mataji

- London, England - Guru Purnima Day)

 

" This ether now as you know, we are using for our television, for our radio, for

every sort of a collective work. So we have to be in charge of the ether element

as yogis. And that is the subtlest of all, in the sense that you permeate

everything with that, and is above all. Like plastic also permeates into

everything into matter, into everything up to the air. But it cannot enter into

ether. So the negativity cannot enter into ether. So when you enter into your

ethereal zone, you actually enter into the area which is thoughtless awareness.

So to achieve your ethereal state, you have to expand your thoughtless

awareness. And the sustenance of that is done by Christ, by the Spirit. So you

can realize now as a yogi, your state of mind should be ethereal. (Shri Mataji -

Shri Krishna Puja - Geneva, Switzerland - 28/08/83)

 

Since i have re-read Guido's letter to Avinash, there are things i would like to

comment on, which i appreciate.

 

1. i can make out that Guido really appreciates it and therefore says thank you

to Avinash for sharing openly his introspection with Guido. It is lovely to see

and read about.

 

2. Guido tells Avinash that he was expecting an official reply from the

coordinator and secretary who he states are usually very efficient in

bureaucratic matters. Guido then states, however, that it seems that it is like

a " voice calling in the desert " . Guido is mentioning to Avinash about " many "

situations that most Council Members know about (bar a few), but that these

Council Members prefer to hide their heads in the sand, rather than address the

issues.

 

3. Guido tells Avinash that his questions are the same questions 100's of SYs

from all over are asking too. These SYs are all hearing about rumours and

indiscretions and are insistent on knowing the truth about what is going on and

why WCASY is not giving anyone information. Guido further says how we have

always judged with disgust and sarcasm regarding the 'Pauls' and 'Abu Baqrs' in

the recent histories of religion, and now while Shri Mataji is still alive, we

have to witness the foundation of a new church, which is anything but Sahaja

Yoga.

 

4. Guido also makes mention about the drug (which we know is risperidone) that

was given to Shri Mataji, which seems to have had devastating effects on Shri

Mataji. He also states that " we all know about the existence of a letter written

by Her personally a few years back in which She is expressing Her will in case

of sickness of Her body " . So... folks, when Guido is saying " we all know about

the letter " , it means that many SYs know about this letter:

 

(http://www.adishakti.org/images/sm_1998_letter.JPG)

 

5. Guido then tells Avinash that Guido himself is in total agreement with the

concerns Avinash has expressed. Guido tells Avinash that he does not want to be

judged by his children one day... and by history... as one of those SYs who was

hiding and not witnessing what is going on. He tells Avinash that he is very

happy for his head to be 'chopped off' in support of a noble cause, in which

Avinash is also involved. Guido just says to be careful with any action that may

directly or indirectly cause any damage to the image of Our Holy Mother and to

the credibility of Sahaja Yoga.

 

This is history now. Guido does not have to be ashamed, nor does Avinash, who

both have stood up for Our Holy Mother. i remember a dream/vision i had about

3-4 years ago, for no personal reason. In this dream/vision many of us SYs were

following Shri Mataji and She was in this sort of horse-drawn carriage with

someone sitting beside Her. i could only see the person's head from the back, as

they were riding forward. i was told this person was Shri Mataji's son. Then the

person turned around, and i recognised him as Avinash. i was really surprised.

But, maybe now i can see that i was forewarned in a dream/vision that Avinash

would stand up for Shri Mataji. As Sahaja Yogis and as Gnostics we do get such

advice and warnings in dreams/visions. i feel now that this dream/vision has

come true, and that Avinash is Her son, who has stood up for Shri Mataji... and

so is Guido.

 

Jai Shri Mataji,

> But instead of uniting in purpose and duty the bickering generals

> unfortunately began turning their canons on each other ..........

> with devastating damage. Within a short time WCASY was bombed out

and

> now looks more like a crumbling and pock-marked bunker than anything

> resembling an organization to enlighten humanity.

>

> Then the fighting intensified and took a new level of intensity and

> viciousness. It was the discovery of a new alliance between generals

> that triggered the internal purge and hand to hand combat:

>

>

> " Dear Avinash,

>

> honour to you for sharing openly with us your introspection.

>

> I was expecting an official reply from our coordinator and our

> secretary who are usually very efficient in burocratic matters, but

> it seems that " your voice is calling in the desert " . We probably

have

> to consider that a few members of the Council are not aware of many

> situations, but most of them know and find more confortable and

> secure to hide their head under the sand. Your questions are just

the

> same i'm receiving since months from hundreds of sahaja yogis who

are

> hearing rumors and indiscretions from different parts and are

> insistently pushing to know the truth, what's going on, and asking

> why the WCASY is not giving any information. We have been always

> judging with disgust and sarcasm the various Pauls and Abu Baqr in

> the recent history of religions and now, while Our Guru, Mother and

> Incarnation is still alive we have to witness the foundation of a

> new " church " which could be anything else but NOT sahaja yoga. We

all

> know NOW about a drug given to Sri Mataji by ....God knows...wich

> seems to have devastating effects, and we all know about the

> existence of a letter written by Her personally a few years back in

> which She is expressing Her will in case of sickness of Her body.

> Yes, Avinash, i'm totally sharing all your feelings and concerns and

> i don't want one day to be judged by my children and by the history

> as one of those who were hiding and witnessing. I'm very happy to

> offer my head to be chopped off in your support for this noble

cause,

> being careful only with any action wich would directly or indirectly

> cause any damage to the image of Our Holy Mother and to the

> The USA viewed this as an unforgivable treachery and sent their hit

> man Alan Wherry in a clandestine operation that ended in the

> assassination of General Guido Lanza, Sergey Perezhogin, Avinash and

> a few others. Traitors who helped him track down these prisoners of

> conscience were immediately elevated to generals.

>

> Flushed with the blitzkrieg of victory and having tasted the blood

of

> their enemies the WCASY set new frontiers to conquer. The

negativity,

> now fully swollen and blinded by its own power, set their sights on

> the ultimate power of God Almighty - the Will of His Shakti !!! In a

> blasphemous maneuver of satanic proportion they claimed themselves

to

> be representatives of Her Will ..................... and proudly

> announced the success of their diabolical mission. There are no

words

> to describe the mentality of these mad men.

>

> The negativity that has overpowered WCASY so quickly has today

> morphed it into anything but a spiritual organization of realized

> souls to advance Her Advent and Divine Message. Do not empower them

> in any way.

>

> But let's look at Shri Mataji's speech again.

> " The world is in turmoil today. People everywhere are anxious about

Yogis

thought

>

> Shri Mataji is clearly referring to SYs. There is not a single

> mention that only WCASY members are supposed to " spread Sahaja Yoga

> in all the parts of the world by written and spoken word. " WCASY

> members are only supposed to streamline, organize and support

efforts

> to stimulate these efforts by SYs. For this purpose a well thought

> out approach is required, and can be easily achieved with three

> simple words: " Tell the Truth. " It is the only option that has never

> been approved by leaders for decades.

>

> So what can we conclude from this sad tale of WCASY? All i see is

the

> self-destruction of ambitious leaders/madmen capable of building a

> powerful SY church to distort Her teachings and advent. We now have

> nothing to fear for the future. We now have the total freedom to

> discharge our momentous responsibility at this crucial time in human

> history the way it was never done before - telling the plain truth!
