At Sahaj Marg(tm), Portrait of Kamlesh Patel Comes into Focus

Taken and translated from an article: "Le Portrait de Kamlesh Patel se Précise", by Alexis on Élodie's blog in Europe: "Pour Que Vive Le Sahaj Marg"

The Portrait of Kamlesh Patel Comes into Focus
 

Kamlesh Desaibhai Patel,  Plenipotentiary Vice President ?

Who is he? What does he do?

 Kamlesh Patel DesaiBhai was born in 1956 in Gujarat, a state in western India bordering Pakistan. He emigrated to the United States in the state of New York more than 20 years ago, and he lived in Staten Island with his wife Pratima K. Patel. They have two children, Akhilesh and Sahat, now aged around thirty.

Having reached 56 years of age, Patel, the pharmacist from Brooklyn is no longer a simple little neighborhood pharmacist. In fact, he controls in one way or another, many pharmacies, mainly in Brooklyn: Marg Pharmacy Inc,  Pharmacy Inc Carewell, Lindenwood Rx Center Inc, Woodhull Rx Prescription Center, Slope Drugs & Surgical Supply, etc..  He is also financially associated with Santosh Khanjee in a chain of hotels.


Patel was 27 years old at the death of Babuji.  Has he known him personally? In any case, he was an abhyasi before his 30th birthday. As with his wife, he is a preceptor for almost as long. This is a "top of the heap" member of Sahaj marg, who has passed through all the positions of responsibility (area-in-charge region-in-charge, etc..), to positions of Director of the American Foundation SMSF, grand mediator of the new Global Services Team of SRCM, successor to Chari since July 26, 2011 in replacement of the "resigned" Ajay Kumar Bhatter, and is now
Plenipotentiary Vice President since the Special Bhandara of August 15, 2012.

Following his appointment in 2011, Patel returned to India to settle at the Garden of Hearts in Chennai, facing the Babuji Memorial Ashram. 


Vice President and Plenipotentiary successor, really? 

The SRCM magazine, Echoes of India in September 2012 devotes no less than 4 pages to the Special Bandhara, describing the event in detail, its organization and its prerequisites.  It summarizes the statements of Chari: 

“Master said that the Vice President shall exercise the powers, duties and responsibilities of the President under Master’s direct guidance and supervision.” [underlined by me]

I do not remember hearing that. Is this how we interpret things in India? So, what exactly did Chari say at the Bandhara?


“(…) [Prepare the documents today]: “as Vice-President who shall enjoy the powers of the constitution and shall do everything as if it is done by the President.” Appoint Kamlesh Patel as Vice-President of Shri Ram Chandra Mission, who will enjoy all the powers of the constitution and by-laws, and all actions done by him will be as done by the President.” [underlined by me]
 
Chari's illness and the Bandhara have created turbulence within the Mission.  History repeats itself: in 1982-84, the Indians refused that Chari succeeds Babuji and now they struggle to recognize his successor.  Confusion reigns and disintegration threatens.


Through his pharmacies, in his family's or in his own name, Patel has made very large donations to the Mission, thus setting himself up as one of the mission's earliest funders (financiers).  Today, he fears for his investments and urgently calls for an emergency gathering so as to preserve Unity. Convinced that he paid dearly for his position, he sees the obstacles pop up one by one on his path.  The Indian are reluctant to accept him, not to mention the banderillas launched against the SRCM by Sharad, Babuji's grandson. (see Society for Babuji's Mission and many recent articles on this blog)


Will he be refused his return on investment?  Nothing is gained, he will have to do battle to impose himself ...

Anonymous posted this comment on: "La littérature inédite de Babuji"…



"With in a short period of His mahasamadhi, practically all the important papers and documents disappeared – how ?"

"how?" is one question that needs not hide another: Why?

If people can accept that, since Babuji's Mahasamadhi, Chari has plotted to secure his position, they will surely accept speculating further before this event.

With the rise of Evil in the 19th and 20th centuries, genuine spiritual masters came from Hind to propagate the doctrin of the Living God and the practical means to achieve this stage of development.

After the 1960s, stealth activity started to spread from the western world, such as cult infiltration, subversion of doctrins, and poisonning of the leaders.

Neutralizing patterns could also be found in Sri Ram Chandra Mission as early as the beginnings of the 1960s, although the ground was not fully set for a take-over before the mid-1970s.

Is it seriously possible that Chari, after losing Babuji's support, could ever succeed reaching and keeping the supreme position by himself, without secret international support?

Anyone interested in understanding why the doctrin of the Living God is a threat to power will find in these moves a brilliant and highly organized interference patiently building the future, and in Chari, the mere tool of an evil plot against humankind's spirit, godliness, and freedom.

"The ostensible explanation for getting them was that he (Chari) would publish them, but the real idea was to get them under his personal custody and keep them at some secret place so that they never see the light of the day. Because those were the literature/writings of the Speical Personality/saint, every word of them was full of secret/real meaning, power and was original. He thought that his own writings would be no match to them. So he made all out efforts to get as much of them as possible." + "when Chari cunningly and forcibly took possession of the Mission Head-quarter’s Ashram at Shahjahanpur, there were thousand of printed copies stored there of Rev. Babuji’s diaries (seven volumes, each of which in thousands) - which were in urdu language and were got converted into Devnagri script (Hindi language) for mass consumption, all of them were consigned to flames to prevent its further sale and publicity, under instructions of Chari."

This gathering activity is indeed a deliberate clearing process.

However, the reason may not be that personal and simple, if traces left by spiritual masters in their writings are the seeds of dangerous ideas, secrets, and possible political developments.

But dangerous to whom?

Surely not to the puppet Chari, who's mission was to replace knowledge of the Truth with harmless imaginary.

Sahaj Marg too had its Vatican II.

Please, consider these few directions with care, gather more, look deeper, and think wider.

Why is it assumed that the initial intent of the SRCM founder was faultless? It too established a power based cult which required that all Naqshabhandi Sufi's submit to a single man or be cut off from Spirituality.

Sadly, cults are not new to the 19th century. Any organization which imposes an exclusive hierarchy upon the masses, and insist that individuals submit to this hierarchy and experience the divine indirectly through a hierarchy is a cult.

To look deeper and wider requires looking outside SRCM, because the truth exists outside, and not within the organization.

lot of confusions, i believe in spirituality. so now where and how i can practice? whom to believe

Hi anonymous..

A body needs another body to commune with and complete itself (to pro-create).

Mind needs another mind to communicate with and exchange "ideas", and grow in knowledge.

Spirit needs only ONE (God?)... our ONE-ness!!

Go to ONE (ONE-ness) Directly ... BE at ONE with ALL ...

Avoid self-titled "representatives" or "Proxies" of ONE (specially when they are "DIVIDED" internally and serve the divisive material ... money!! )

Spiritual Sovereignty is the:

State of "BEING" Sovereign...

In your body, mind and spirit BE SOVEREIGN ... and commune with all the other "sovereign" (Free) BEINGS, freely ...

Avoid RELIGION and SPIRITUALISM (Mediums, egregores, messages from the OTHER WORLD, all the scams of the wealthy businessmen to dense the population and then to control (and sell to) their fellow humans, etc...), empowering themselves.

Go to ONE directly ... go directly to ONE

... do not perform rituals (at their appointed time) for the sake of being in a group. Be Strong... do not let the groups confuse you ...

Commune with ONE at any and ALL times ... in your own words, thoughts, actions, etc...

You are a BEING... so BE!! BE at ONE and BE ONE!!

You, Spirit and ONE-ness are "INSIDE"... not in a "light" (light is not SPIRIT but it is of the material ... electrons), nor in the form of another person (idolatry) or in a "temple", or in another "space" (religion) ...

BE tucked inside ONE-ness, the ONE, where you live... where you ARE.

BE a Sovereign and FREE BEING...

thank you don. what you are telling is true. you gave me the answer. from thousands of years seekers are doing meditation. trying to realize the God or the ONE.. i think meditation is a natural process. but problem is there are thousands of meditations. which one to do?

Michael said...

Anonymous,

In true Spirituality there is no practice, there is only BEING.

The more time spent thinking that you aren't already One with Creator, seeking to become One with Creator, the less time you actually get to BE One with Creator.

It only seems confusing, yet its so simple!

As for whom to believe, try believing in yourself, being One with Creator - repeatedly!

Hi Anonymous...

I agree with Michael (above comment)

Since you are FREE and a "Sovereign Spirit" (a BEING which is part of ONE, the ONE-ness of all) ... then, the choice of the method you chose is YOURS and yours alone ... and the method you chose may change as you change.

BE on the Path where you are, beginning with your interior condition!!

Have tolerance for all paths which lead "inside"... Avoid all paths which claim to be Spiritual and yet, demand that you "do" on the outside ...

We do on the outside to satisfy the body (ours and the bodies of others) and to satisfy the MIND (emotions) ...

In SPIRIT, we simply ARE!! And as such, we are ONE!! ETERNAL!!

We do not "become" more spiritual ... we already are SPIRIT and ONE!! We can simply realize it.

Hi all...

De-mystifying the Process...


Simple (animal) Consciousness:

I realize I have a leg and that the leg is attached to me and I can move it and displace my whole body at will.

Self-consciousness (some-most humans):

I realize that I realize that I have a leg, and that the leg is attached to me and I can move it and displace my whole body at will. (I also have the awareness of being able to alter not only my position but my "body" and my "mind" ... I have the ability to abstract, to imagine, to dream, to think, to plan, etc...)

Cosmic or Universal Consciousness

I realize that most all other humans also have legs (and arms, heads, organs, etc... (just like me) and that they/we all can move their/our legs and displace their/our whole body at will.

I realize we are all one species made of cells, elements (carbon, etc..) which are fused (loved?? unified) inside stars from one prime element (hydrogen) made of a one-unit proton (+) and a one-unit electron (-) in motion and held together as a UNIT (by the weak force of the atom or electro-magnetism) and grouping together into extended "families" (molecules).

I realize that all elements are a material manifestation of "energy", wich is defined as "motion" and energy (4-forces) is "unified" as ONE Energy (Grand Unified Theory or GUT ... or the Theory of Everything or TOE).

We are ALL ONE ... in a self-replicating existence called LIFE (a wave/particle, energy/matter duality)

From ONE, comes MANY.

Or, ONE transforms into MANY (or ALL) ...

From MANY, comes the realization of the ONE-ness of ALL.

Or, when realizing its UNITY, all becomes ONE and in this realization, All consciousness consciously UNITE as ONE ...

Hi don

why dont you publish all these thoughts in a separate column. so who wants to get rid by cults and clutches will get some clues. please dont start a mission or become a guru!! ;)

4d-Don said...

Hi anonymous...

Lol Lol LOl (lmao)

Not a chance. I would then have to expose my "self" ...

Above is simply (partly) science ... it is not mysticism nor SPIRITUALISM (as Sahaj Marg(tm) has become ...

There are no "spirits", light beings, or mediums with their "channeled messages from the great beyond" in there

But thanks for the comment anyway...

lol lol

dearest Don, I agree ur views, I am watching ur page for more than 4 years, I was following srcm for 6 years, I was very happy those days, I use to have hell lot of anxiety, after I started practice my mind was under control, focused, my grades improved drastically. I use to feel happiness. my network was big, all happy faces. it was a joyful journey. I left the practice after I come across ur blog, I got brainwashed. no one really forced me to come back. but if I look back I don't know what I gained by leaving srcm, but definitely I have lost focus, joy and network. I know it is easy to say be yourself, but mind will always be opposite. I am planning to rejoin but I need ur practical advice on how to be focused and how to be happy without joning srcm. pls help me.

Hi Anonymous ...

It is reported that many tobacco smokers (and those who generally indulge in addictive substances such as coffee, sugar, and of course the more addictive street or recreational drugs), who eventually quit, have the same reaction to leaving their addiction: the feeling of losing something (like losing a friend, focus, joy, etc... some addicts claim). That is the nature of addiction and it is what "cults" of personality use as their "bait" or their "come-on": "Try it for 6 months, you'll like it!", they claim. But it is a trap to get one "habituated".

If someone is addicted culturally to being controlled by a group (religion, cult, etc...) or a charismatic GOD-man, then the only thing one can say to that person is: "go inside" and gather you own divine strenght (your own will power) and stand on your own two feet.

There is no great secret to being "INDEPENDENT" and/or a Free-thinking person ... one simply must not accept the so-called joy or "intoxication" which is created by believing in a fantasy or by believing in the invented fairy tales of others such as religions and cults.

No one will really save you but yourself, but on the road to "slavery" and addiction, many will go with you and you will be happy for some time. On the road to the freedom of individuality, you go alone and you deal with the ups and downs of life ...

There are always more followers than leaders ... When you leave being a follower and want to become a leader, then the vacuum created by the loss of the "group" must be filled with your own rituals or patterns ... you can't simply drift and think focus will come automatically ... it does not. Joy will come from the focus you place on your own "inventions", rituals, patterns, etc.... and a new network will also come from that new-found joy. Don't linger in being alone and out of joy and out of focus... Find some other endeavours in your life ... involve yourself with helping others ... BE Spiritual!

If you want to be FREE, and stand on your own, then go inside and find your true and strong SELF ... not an imaginary light (which is only present when electrons (matter) jump from one orbit to another inside atoms (matter), and is thus material, light is not SPIRIT).

In SPIRIT, you don't need my or anyone's help ... just access the divine strenght that you have inside your SELF ... Spirit only needs the ONE-ness of ALL! (what some call CREATOR or God).

Stand at the front of your own line and LEAD your own life ...

May you be blessed ... and ALIVE!!

Hi Anonymous...

Yes, one (most) can not know what ONE is, but I and many spiritual adherents can know what I don't want: SPIRITUALISM, which is relying on a Medium (a French Lady) to get messages from the dead (Whispers??)... Do not rely on anonymous mediums who get "whispers" from unknown "spirits" of the dead, "unknown beings of light", etc... .


Even Babuji agreed with me ... Find a living GUIDE, not a dead one.
Babuji used to say that if you saw him in a meditation, don't believe that it is really Babuji in REALITY!!

He was right in that case...
