Jai Shri Mataji!

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Many of you suggested we ignore all this nonsense from the phony "Sy Research" group which has been our tact for the last couple of years. However, the new people starting out in SY may not fully appreciate the absolute lies and deceit being tossed about by this group. Therefore, we have posted below a response from the European Collective that know who these people are, and what they are really about. Additionally, we will be asking swissonline.com to have them remove the libel (false accusations using real peoples names) from their website. And don't forget to ask them to remove your name from their distribution list (sy.research@swissonline.com). Finally, let's move on with our lives as Sahaja Yogis and enjoy this beautiful sahaja life Mother has given us.

Much love and all the best from the Internet Team

MESSAGE FROM EUROPEAN SAHAJA YOGIS ON SO CALLED "SAHAJA RESEARCH GROUP"

DEAR FRIENDS,

In a recent message it was said that the yogis would comment on the communication of the so called "Sahaj Research Group" that may have reached you by now. We know there is a deluge of protests from all corners of the earth. This group spoke a lot about their love, care respect and affection for us how truly touching while insulting our religious convictions, faith, beliefs...and, yes, intelligence! But of course they want to save us from heresy, deprogramme us and welcome us back into the emptiness of their little crusade.

For older yogis in Europe this group may not be news for they are aware of the relentless attacks from this busy "HATE CLUB" which has dumped its subtle and not so subtle bile and venom into our esites. Most of us knew them: remember Juan and Jose Etcheparebordas, the jokers of the Court and fools they really were but we did not know. They have tried to trouble the Austrian, French, Italian and Swiss collectivity in so many ways but were disappointed not to get a response. Pitiful actors they were, but they now felt ready for a larger stage and a broader audience! There are a few others, ... same caliber.

For new yogis, reading by mistake their artistically manipulated stuff, it would not be pleasant. Their purpose, to sow doubts on Shri Mataji: you know, you are all right, the yogis are all right, even sahaja could be all right , just let us forget about Shri Mataji why not? ...small people but large ambitions.

After scrutiny of their text an experience to be rated between amusing and nauseating we hope you are not confused. If you have questions, talk to trusted yogis around you that could answer. In the meantime a few broad points need be recalled.

The Preambula is: Here we are. Jesus had 12 disciples and one Judas. Shri Mataji has more disciples but unfortunately... these people have chosen their camp. We have chosen ours.

The Sahaj door is open: to come in this is why we got this sorry lot in the eighties but also to get out; they feel cold out there and they want us to join.

Point1: Sexual morality. We abide by Lord Ganesha. Everybody knows that and it is one of the reasons why modernity fans attack us. But the door to our collectivity is wide open, and some people that came in sahaj with sexual addictions could not clear out; by the way, it is the case of some of the crusaders of the HATE CLUB....You do not blame the sky because of the cloud.

Point 2: Knowledge: in choosing our camp, we do not trust the lies of people we don't know but rely on OUR OWN experience of sahaj and of yogis, of joy, of meditation and friendship with other children of Mother. Otherwise we insult our own true knowledge.

Point 3: Who said we need no money? any project in a material world need material resources. Will they deny us the right to raise these resources? We claim this right and we shall exert it. But we do not take money out of sahaj for selfish purposes. This is completely proven and established.

Point 4: Where we feel loved and secure, at one with ourselves, there the truth resides. Not in confusion doubts and fears. We do not believe the old Freudian trick that "you do not dare to face the truth". The truth is we are all right, we are a yogi, a yogini and Mother is Our Protector. Shall we take away the protection?

Point 5: When someone has tasted paradise and then loses it by his/her own fault, this person must, by all means, justify his/her error and thus redefine the whole landscape to fit this existential blunder. The HATE CLUB cannot accept that we wisely kept what they foolishly lost.

Point 6: Of course we do not want to suffer in our Agnya but we do not know quite the trick to forgive such a vile attack against what we hold Sacred, Pure and the Holiest of the Holy. So let us pray to lord Jesus Christ that he may help us through this, in whatever ways and forms he might chose to do so. After all, we are celebrating Easter soon!

Point 7: And whether they like it or not, whether they hate it or not, small scale Judases, pitiful devotees of the ADFI and other sects busters, fake masters, powerful of this earth and rulers of our material world, Shri Mataji is Adi Shakti, residing in the Sahasrara of the Virata.
