Wake Up

We must remain tolerant in the present situation. Our Culture is based on TOLERANCE. There is no reason to attack someone who does not believe our ideology. We must respond to them by our Work, Virtues and Unity.

At the same time the people and some prejudiced medias must think wisely before giving any statement for the work and parivar. No one can abuse the whole parivar for the act of the handful people.

In any case, this selfless work MUST go on at any cost. There are so many senior people in parivar who are quite learned and who have worked with Rev. Dadaji. They must come up with some concrete solution to the current crisis and direct the whole parivar.

Please DO NOT keep quiet and say everything will be okay. Wake up and do the best to save this work for the sake of GOD. No one should leave the battle. If there is problem in our own family do we leave the family or we try to sort it out? The same way think wisely & collectively. It is a question of Trust & Confidence of Millions of people.

Dear Blog Owner I have read some comments on you indirectly blaming that you should not hide your identity and that you are with anti group. But please go on your own way. I and many like me strongly believe that if any thing is there which will save this work and parivar, It is only this type of discussion and exchange of thoughts through such site. Please continue to do this. But, please see that all these feelings have reached to the top leadership in the right spirit and some positive actions are being taken as otherwise many our Brothers & Sisters will either leave the work or become idle. And this is what anti group is wishing. Do we all (including leadership) wish their success? NO, NOT AT ALL. Then, Please wake up and do something from all these comments.

Divine Brothers & Sisters. Please do not blindly say that every thing is all right or that we are cent percent correct and all are against us. We must introspect. If you really love this work then there is an extreme need to bring this work in its original purity. Don't be arrogant or over confidant. Love the work and think of the work for the sake of GOD.

Wake Up to What?

I am writing this with great pain within… please forgive me for using strong language…
Remember the person who asked pointed question has been silenced and Media is going to write it is their work… please please do not tell me that all media is biased… all editors are biased… why don’t you say that they are bised and prejudiced when they write good about parivar in the wake of all negative news… Media do not abuse the whole parivar it is trying bring the truth out and making people aware and make them think which is the very foundation of journalism (even after all these we do not wake up) – parivar is feeling abused on their own act of ignoring the facts and standing behind the current leadership blindly and those handful crooks who are also the responsible for the current state of the parivar – so stop blaming media and blame those handful crooks that parivar has given shelter to – during and after the criminal act – now do not tell me that media has made this all up and spreading bad words.

Do you truly know what selfless work is? Now is the time to introspect without losing objectivity and be selfless… There are millions who are doing selfless work everyday in the world without the label of any kind. As far as the senior people are concerned there is hardly anyone who can direct the parivar. Every capable parivar member is kicked out or left willingly. Whatever is left now at the top is cirlce of Yes-Men, Blood-Suckers/Parasites and Operators and may be few good followers who are clueless of what is going on. So there is nothing much to expect from those Yes-Men, blood–suckers who will leave as soon as there is no blood left to suck and so called learned operators they will be used untill there is no need anymore and how can expect anything from their so called leader.

You are on the money when you say that keeping quiet and thinking “All Will be Fine” is not the option anymore. Those who are still thinking must wake up and get their hand dirty clean the Swadhyay Garden and weed out these handful of crooks and yes-men (who are also your divine brothers and sisters.) I have heard that “Even the families disown their own members when there is no possibility of Peace and Harmony and I have also heard that Head of the family not only kick out their own loved ones but declare them their enimies and force their own family members to not to keep any relations with those who were loved more than life but now kicked out!”

I do not think blog owners are with the group or with the anti-group – this very mentality is bad such party line is created by politic thinking. Blog is just providing the tool for the thinking folks to discuss and find the solutions. Do not think that some Savior is going to come along and that also from the current leadership and direct the whole parivar. Again such mentality has bred vyakti Puja of Motabhais and will also provide fertile ground for it.

Please do not forget those standing on the other side of the fence now are your enimies they are also your divine brothers and sisters they have just chosen to stand on the other side because they think that it is right thing to do as you are thinking that you are on the right side. Please wake up from the illusion that who are curently IN are right and who were IN for past 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 years are wrong and were IN there for power and wealth or selfish motives. Wake up and smell the coffee before its too late – you will become intrumental in bringing “The Work” down. Stop worrying and start thinking on your own and that for your own sake, sake of your divine brothers and sisters at least and if not for the sake of God!

To whoever wrote the above comment, your statement "Every capable parivar member is kicked out or left willingly" and the fact that you're name calling makes me think you're on the wrong blog. this forum is for productive discussion and exchange of ideas.

Gentleman (of first comment)

It seems you are at all NOT interested in how the work & parivar go to the right direction. There was no intention of calling media as BIASED. Our objection against someone calling the whole swadhyaya parivar as gunda parivar and if you do not agree with me then you are difinitely not the part of parivar as it has not hurt you. How the whole parivar of millions can be gunda parivar. you are at all not interesdted in this noble work. who told you that there is no single man who can direct the parivar now. this blog is purely for discussion to find our the conclusion and not to appreciate or to criticise the medias' role. Media should also highlight the fact that this was the first incident took place in parivar for so many years. Parivar is not standing on such a weak principles.

Swadhyay is a repair shop of bad cars, it is not a showroom of fine cars.

So those cars leaving out before getting tuned keep rattaling. They need to come back and improve themseleves.
No one is perfect but we need to try.

In response to the first comment (Wake Up), it is quite clear to me that the parivar has been in deep slumber for a very long time. The issue that the parivar faces now has been boiling slowly for many years and has now spilt over! Work must indeed go on because the fundamental principles of swaydhyay have not changed, but its members have added their own agenda to so that what we now have is, unfortunately, only a flavour of what Dada envisaged it to be. The purity of thought is no longer there.

It has been in a slumber because of the environment the leadership has created over the many years where questioning actions has been frowned upon – sheep following the shepherd blindly is supposed to be the correct behaviour. Strangely, this is at odds with what dada always says to use your intellect and not follow blindly! The parivar and the world have changed since its inception, and because of the environment that has existed all these years, it is difficult now for the leadership to come to grips with the current crisis. I hope they and the parivar are courageous enough to admit, firstly that there is a problem in the organisation and only then solutions can be found to solve the problem. If they just bury their heads in the sand and hope that it would go away is wishful thinking and naïve.

There are, however, many in the kendra happy with situation ie that the ‘problem’ that existed in the form of Trivedi is now no longer. With such fundamentalist views in the parivar, I think change will be painfully slow to come.

"lotus"

the symbol of swadyaya, swadyaya is like a flower, each swadyayee is a petal if one petal is infested does it not affect all the other petals? does not the disease destroy the life and beauty of the flower? isit not the duty of each one of us to protect and preserve the beauty and fragrance of this flower from being destroyed? swadyaya of ours is a big wonderful flower with many petlas. onlywhen this is understood and becomes deeply ingrained within us, will there be any real peace and unity.
