Reply 		GUYS I’M CURED!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
Guys, I’m so glad to posted all those utterly, utterly inspiring and illuminating messages on this website. Only here I find the sincerity that is necessary to maintain my faith in our beloved Master. All those ‘official’ lies – especially on the official MATAzised websites – is not only trash, it makes the whole SRF thing completely untrustworthy. And, worse, it stains the memory of our Guru! How do these people manage to be so false? How gullible do they believe Master’s disciples are? WOW!!!!
German native, I was initiated into Kriya by Br. Satyananda in Brazil (where I stayed a couple of years). Then I came to L.A. and took advantage of the privileged location to render numerous visits to SRF sites. At the beginning, I was delighted. But then, after a short period in which I tried to ignore the facts…
But let’s go step by step:
1)        WHY I AM SO THANKFUL. Until yesterday I thought that monastic life is the non-plus-ultra for a true disciple. That must sound soooo crazy for someone who knows just a little bit of how things really are at the SRF ashrams. Yet I passed an inspiring weekend at Hidden Valley, and found things rather impressive! Br. Bimalananda did a beautiful satsanga… another disciple stated that he (as a householder d.) only had spent about two months there, but that his spiritual progress was such that he sometimes had to pitch himself to believe it. Really, I thought when things turn out real bleak (death of a loved one, lottery win, whatever) I would once spend some months there!
2)        SOMETHING SIMILAR happened with my visits at Hollywood temple. I found Br. Bakdananda just fantastic. At that time, he was awarded by the temple attendees a 30 years of service award – now I learn that it is because he was “passed over” out of jealosy and ill will from the part of the @#%$ MATAs. Yes, he is a true disciple, and an awe-inspiring example to live by.
3)        I WELL REMEMBER another week-end visit I made at the Encinitas ashram. I don not remember the names of the two monks who took care of us (about 10 visitors). The “lead” monk had the bearing and the charms of a Wall Street investment banker (later, he took over some Hollywood temple services); the other one was a rather young Italian guy. They were both OK, yet they could not totally avoid making fun of some of the satsanga questions that had been made.
4)        IT ALL BEGAN with the photograph in SRF’s booklet “In Memoriam” about Master’s last days on this physical plane. On that photo - SRF version! - you see Master beside the Indian ambassador and his wife, receiving a gift box from a disciple… Staggering: I recognized that photo… In a booklet by Kriyananda I had purchased years ago, without knowing anything about the rivalry with SRF, that photo had also appeared. But it was slightly different: there you could see WHO that disciple was: Walters himself. Gee… I again compared the photos: and could draw only one conclusion: no doubt, SRF had tampered with its version – airbrushed! WOW!!!!! So much for the truth-loving, exemplary chief disciples of Paramahansa Yogananda! Better still: I posted that issue on the official SRF message board for explanation. OF COURSE, it NOT EVEN APPEARED, but was filtered. SRF, THIS I MY ONLY EXPLANATION, IS A QUASI-STALINISTIC ORGANIZATION THAT HAS BETRAYED ANYTHING OUR BELOVED MASTER STANDS FOR.

Dear SRF monks and nuns, stop thinking that everybody else is just a gullible, childish idiot. Remember what our Guru wanted: yes, I had something to do with truth… oddly enough! Intriguing, though, why Master let that happen. Well, I guess it’s something similar to what happens in Masonic Lodges: far from being perfect, they represent a second-tier microcosmos in the middle of which the right people can thrive and live on their first-tier ideas. That first-tier thing is mediation itself – not even the $§%$&ing MATAs could kill that idea. That men like Bimalananda and Bakhdananda impart their wisdom on us is still worth the effort. Yes, no doubt, it’s still worth it. Nevertheless, things must be improved. The sole fact that someone with the plain, empty, middle-of-the-road eyes like Faye Wright manages to make herself consider an illumined saint for five decades is an insult. By the way, that Encinitas investment banker told us some allegedly impressive stories about her, and I bear witness, there was hardly anything impressive in it. The best thing he could tell us was this: Miss Wright once visited their room at HQ, and, upon leaving, asked: is everything OK with that lamp? Thunderstruck, they found that a screw was missing, and that it could have fallen off the ceiling. Well …. You ought to be a very, very benevolent reader to concede that this, after sixty years of meditation, partly under the guidance of a Christlike Master like PY, constitutes something really extraordinary. Is that really all you could afford??!!
So, pleeeease, monks, nuns, MATAs, whoever - stop trying to fool us!!! In love and relentless devotion.

As Gandhi says the most important thing is TRUTHFULNESS.

If the organization is not abstaining from evil-doing (yamas), how can the organization survive. this is the first step according to The Yoga Aphorisms of Patanjali.
