Today i feel so relieved that i did not participate in subtle system

SYs shoe-beating Deepak Chopra, who is in their black book of false

gurus. Despite being new to Sahaja Yoga i did not follow this herd

mentality that is typical of most SY collectives. Few SYs have the

independence of judgment to think for themselves. If a SY throws the

negativity, say of Deepak Chopra's existence, into the havan the rest

just follow like sheep and bleat his despicable name. Countless SY

havans have been initiated over the decades to rid the world of all

types of negativity, including Deepak Chopra.

 

My seven years in the SY collectives were the worst years of my life

and that of my family, and till today we still shudder at some of our

experiences. But the Devi that my children kept daily meeting between

1993-2007 more than compensated for all the abuse, and will be so for

the rest of our lives.

 

i did not ask the Adi Shakti about Deepak Chopra because in my heart

i knew he was a very special person. His books intrigued and inspired

me, and expanded my comprehension of consciousness, spirituality and

the Divine Mother. That was in the 1990's.

 

Today we have his masterpiece, " The Third Jesus: The Christ We Cannot

Ignore " . It has helped me a great deal to support the message of the

Comforter and Her teachings as well. But for the majority of subtle

system SYs he remains a false guru, an outcast writer to be shunned

at all times. Such is their poverty.

 

That is why is it advisable not to provoke them with The Third Jesus,

as the Savior has warned us:

 

" Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls

before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn

and tear you to pieces. " (Matthew 7:6)

 

Deeap Chopra has done far more to uphold and promote Jesus than the

entire SY organization combined ......... for the last three decades.

i am willing to chisel this truth in stone. As a firm believer of all

religions, prophets and Holy Scriptures i find these words of Deepak

Chopra so harmonious, enlightening and comforting.

 

" Christians want to feel that their religion is unique, which is

certainly achieved by claiming the one and only Son of God. But by

the same token, they risk being left out of the great human project,

which began centuries before Christ and continues to this day. This

is the project of transcending the physical world to reach the realm

of the soul. "

 

Yes, the sending of the Comforter, Shri Mataji, is the continuation

of " the project of transcending the physical world to reach the realm

of the soul. " For those of us taking part in the Resurrection we know

it is the culmination of the great human project; the collective and

harmonious triumph of all religions, prophets and Holy Scriptures; the

promised Blossom Time to evolve into the eternal spirit!

 

What Consciousness inspired Deepak Chopra to pen this priceless gem,

 

" This is the project of transcending the physical world to reach the

realm of the soul. "

 

the heart and soul of all religions, prophets and Holy Scriptures?

 

And we should all remember that Deepak Chopra was never a SY, but yet

exalted Jesus before the world. So who are these anti-Christ elements

in SY organization who have always condemned Deepak as a false guru?

And why do they refuse to uphold the Saviour, the Comforter and Her

message of the Resurrection? Why is that the anti-Christ negativity

has penetrated and firmly entrenched itself in the SY Church today,

just as it did when the Catholic Church established itself? And who

promotes Lord Jesus more - the SYs or Catholic Church?

 

That is why is it advisable not to provoke SYs with Jesus, the

Comforter sent by Him, and Her message of the Resurrection as the

Savior has warned us of the foolish and ignorant reacting:

 

" Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls

before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn

and tear you to pieces. " (Matthew 7:6)

 

regards to all,

Priase for LIFE AFTER DEATH

 

" Here is the paradox: life's greatest mystery—death—seems to be its

opposite and its very denial. However, anyone who reads Deepak

Chopra's penetrating and insightful investigation into this great

mystery with an open mind will come to realize that the opposite of

death is birth, not life. Life, which in essence is consciousness, is

eternal and has no opposite. There is no death, only the

metamorphosis of life-forms, consciousness appearing as this or that.

This is the liberating truth the book continuously points to. "

 

—Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now!

 

 

" In his captivating book Life After Death, the immensely talented

Deepak Chopra invites us to join him in an exhilarating and

irresistible eternal dance whereby death equals love and freedom.

Chopra, with his distinctive wisdom and ingenuity, takes us deeper

into a timeless consciousness that encompasses all of life. Life

After Death is a scintillating amalgamation of science and spirit as

it lyrically intertwines ancient tales, modern literature, and

Chopra's own intriguing encounters. Life After Death is a stunning

work, a magnificent achievement, and an inspiring antidote to

mankind's anxiety and despair. "

 

—T. Byram Karasu, M.D., Silverman Professor and University Chairman

of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Sciences at Albert

Einstein College of Medicine; author of the bestselling The Spirit of

Happiness

 

 

" Deepak Chopra presents a compelling portrait of the afterlife, one

he bases on the wisdom of religious teachings and supports with the

findings of scientific research. The result provides readers much

food for thought as well as the opportunity to approach death in a

new, more hopeful way. "

 

—Jim B. Tucker, M.D., researcher at the University of Virginia's

Division of Perceptual Studies, and author of Life Before Life: A

Scientific Investigation of Children's Memories of Past Lives

 

 

" The shortest distance between the human heart and truth is a story

according to one wisdom saying. The story Deepak Chopra tells of

Savitri in his insightful and wonderful book Life After Death: The

Burden of Proof not only makes the human heart and truth kiss, but

also penetrates to the heart of this extraordinary insight into life

after death. Reading this book as a Catholic priest and spiritual

teacher, I am amazed at the way Dr. Chopra is able to make sense to a

Christian of the profound truth of life and death from his own

culture and deep learning. I encourage everyone—be he or she

Christian, Buddhist, Hindu or atheist—to read this extraordinary

work. Your mind and your soul will be uplifted and enlightened. "

 

—Rev. J. Franccis Stroud, S.J., DeMello Spirituality Center, Fondham

University

 

 

" East meets West in Life After Death. This treasure of a book is

graceful and thoughtful, inspiring and enlightening, practical and

mystical, an adventure of the mind and heart. If Deepak Chopra is

correct—and contemporary afterlife research supports his belief—we

should not fear death, but `respect it as a miracle' and celebrate

our inherent ability to conceive and experience the eternity of life.

Prepare to be awakened. "

 

—Gary E. Schwartz, Ph.D., professor and director, Laboratory for

Advances in Consciousness and Health, University of Arizona, and

author of The Afterlife Experience and The G.O.D. Experiments

 

 

" In this book , Deepak brilliantly creates a remarkable tapestry for

opening our hearts, minds, and consciousness to explore for ourselves

the mysteries of life, death, and the mind. He cleverly interlaces

mystical stories, childhood memories, thoughts on creation,

scientific data about many areas, and questions that will allow the

reader to reexamine and to question old beliefs about our own

identity. With an open-minded approach, this book stretches our mind

and our imagination to explore a reality of truth that is far beyond

our physical reality. "

 

—Gerald G. Jampolsky, M.D., author of Love Is Letting Go Of Fear and

founder of the International Center for Attitudinal Healing

(Sausalito, California)

 

 

“Deepak Chopra continues to be a significant figure in the emerging

dialogue of world cultures and faiths. Here he deepens the

conversation by tackling the ‘Big One’, the eternal issue of death

and the possibility of life on another plane. Instead of focussing on

beliefs, he turns to the medium through which most people receive the

ancient wisdom of a tradition: stories. Thus he expands the whole

idiom in which such questions are understood by recalling the ancient

Indian insight that we exist at the intersection of multiple

realities and that the line between life and death is not a wall, as

we often imagine, but one permeable crossing point among many, many

others. Also by drawing on the most recent science, he makes this

book thought-provoking for people of any faith or none at all.”

 

—Harvey Cox, Harvard University, author of When Jesus Came To Harvard

 

 

“Deepak Chopra, M.D., has become a physician to our time. His latest

medicine is Life After Death: The Burden of Proof. With care and

humility he uses story, the teachings of the masters of wisdom in the

East, new science, and cosmology to hospice the fatally constricting

reductionism of the materialist worldview and open our minds and

souls to a universe permeated with consciousness, spirit and Life. Be

prepared for a truly masterful exposition on the nature of karma that

brings together Eastern philosophy and modern neuroscience. Chopra

reminds us that both ancient wisdom and frontier science point us

toward a Reality that will persist long after the sound bites of

contemporary culture have bitten the dust. I loved the book.”

 

—James O’Dea, president, Institute of Noetic Sciences

 

 

”Harvesting the wisdom of East and West, of science and spirituality,

Deepak Chopra carries the reader on a profound exploration of the

greatest of mysteries. It is a revelation to waking consciousness of

the source of our existence, the passion of our unending journey, and

the Field of Being that calls us into Union.”

 

—Jean Houston, Ph.D., author of A Passion for the Possible
