 there may be others feeling the same thing
astral 7 says


Quote:
it has no significance whatsoever


your posts don't get read by me anymore [others in other threads have given you hints as to why, and that other boards exist for you to express your thoughtful posts]

i happened to see the first line in this post above from 01/17

your posts have long since lost an appeal to me in the slightest......others may feel the same way

there is some significance in your posts
a little
your posts won't be missed by me, and already aren't read

circle

p.s. treat durga ma with respect
unlike some matas, she spent her hours among us
she turned down a position of power, faye wright didn't
durga is family to me, be careful

what goes around comes around

 Re: there may be others feeling the same thing
Thank you for contiunuing to read my posts, it shows an openness and other good qualities in you.

I edited the first lines of that post, hope I am clearer now.

However, I doubt Daya Mata feels herself to be in a position of power, don't see any signs of that. She mastered her ego in SRF long ago. Yogananda was such a superb teacher - and to think that that was only a small part of what he did!

She does feel herself to be in a position of service to us all and a position of serious responsibility.

Such is the love of a true friend and devotee, that even though it was the last thing she wanted, she accepted this position and does this service and more because Paramahansa Yogananda asked her to do so. Such is the divine love and friendship that exists in this sacred Kriya path of Self-Realization Fellowship between Guru and disciple.

Durga Mata did many wonderful things for Yoganandas church, but if you recall turning down of the appointment was for health concerns. I had not much to do about power or not wanting it. Unless we are missing something here.?

Who did she spend her last Hours among, Didn't she spend many of her last days at the Self-realization fellowship ashram?

You need to read the whole sentence that Astral7 wrote:

"If this is a true fact, it has no significance whatsoever
ABOUT DAYA MATA HERSELF! why it was even brought up on
this board is strange."

I don't see anything disrespectful about Durga Ma in this. He is making a statement about Daya Mata not Durga Ma. It seems clear to me that you are not interested in reading people's opinions that are not in line with your own - that's fine. However Astral7 has as much right as anyone else to post here. I don't agree with him but I don't think he has been rude - which is probably more than can be said for others.

Anyways, I asked sometime ago for proof that Daya Mata did not receive Kriya from Yoganandaji and no one has come forward with it. It seems that some people are very inclined to take the things they read here against SRF or even Yoganandaji as gospel. I see this sort of reaction as just another manefistation of the mental flaw that made many of us starry-eyed SRF believers in the first place.

 Re: Soulcircle
People too easily believe what is said here on this board? Yeah, right. Very few people see this board really. Maybe 15 to 30 per day? That is a lot? So many SRF members believe everything they hear from SRF too! I think a little balance is a good thing. I saw so many lies put out by SRF myself that I don't think they deserve much respect. Look at the stories posted here. Which do you think are incorrect?

SRF Walrus leaders: This thread, like many others, is getting way off the title subject.

"Ma Durga was obviously far more advanced than Daya Mata. Yogananda gave Ma Durga Kriya and not Faye Wright. Fact."

This is quote from one of GregsBrother's posts. Why is this a fact? Is there any evidence? If so I would be very, very interested in seeing it. I don't really really have any vested interest either way since I am not involved with SRF any longer and don't have any particular personal attachment to Daya Mata. But it would be interesting to see if there was any truth behind it this statement that Durga Ma give Kriya to Daya Mata.

Anyways, I have seen this sort of thing happen elsewhere on Walrus where some comment is elevated to the status irrefutable truth. I think it is somewhat naive and is probably the same mental mechanism that has lead to a lot of the silly mythology that has been built up in SRF. Extremes in thinking - in either direction - should be avoided in my opinion. Many of the erstwhile starry-eyed SRF believers are now the ones calling SRF a Nazi concentration camp, etc. They were misled before and are probably being misled now.

"I saw so many lies put out by SRF myself that I don't think they deserve much respect."

So what's your point? I didn't ask you to respect SRF and actually I don't really care if you do or not. I am not the enemy.
