Adam, before i reply please listen to 1980-4-12 Easter Puja part 4/4

How does this work Jagbir? Are not going against Sri Mataji by your

views because Sri Mataji has been encouraging all these things you

say we don't need? Are you suggesting she has not been accurate with

everything perhaps? and some things we have to dissect for ourselves?

 

But you are right though. Most people I have ever brought to the

programs do not really want to go to pujas or take part in the

external rituals- first reactions from people are usually along the

lines of 'is this really necessary?'. They kind of just go along with

it after some sweet talking - and eventually without knowing it

become brainwashed into it I suspect- I know this might sound harsh

to some people - just a viewpoint to consider. Even me, I felt I was

expected to go with the rest of the sheep otherwise I would not

really be welcome at the meetings. I am not saying there is no self

gain by these rituals etc but I think they are just keeping sahaja

yoga a small sect - problem is, when you're in there living it,

ofcourse you don't see it as a sect. I still believe sahaja yoga can

be extremely unhealthy for some peoples minds because of all the

things Jagbir has mentioned. My first few weeks were great until all

the other stuff got introduced to me gradually confusing me. Few more

months down the line I started to feel disturbed. The superstition in

sahaj needs to be eradicated quickly if we are to attract more people

and stop them from deteriorating psychologically. Some people at

these meetings carry on like they are qualified mental health

practitioners or doctors haha.....and the scary part is they don't

even realize it half the time. They issue out all kinds of advice to

people with serious conditions they themselves have never

experienced.. leading them on to believe their ridiculous treatments

will make a major difference...even cure you. It is a struggle for

them to recommend a doctor or someone who doesn't have a cool breeze

emitting from somewhere. Better to take advice from someone with some

cool breeze and no qualifications than someone with no cool breeze

but a lifetime of professional medical experience.

 

Right, better foot-soak with some salt.
