Galina Chevreux created a doc.Letter about the events in Russia Jay Shri Mataji!Dear brothers and sisters!

Here you can find a chronological sequence of Russian events occurred forthe last few years. We believe that Sahaja Yogis should know the truth andhonest view to help us to keep Sahaja principles in our world family. The"Peter and Paul" virus, the idea of creating an organization in Sahaja Yoga,corrupting Sahaj ideas with the materialistic management and dominationsystems are spreading not only in Russia but in other countries also. Buttoday we all bear responsibility for preserving the purity of Sahaja Yoga,purity of ideology, which we have been taught by Shri Mataji, and no one cando it except us.

Religions are founded by Incarnations, but religions were always corruptedby people. But Sahaja Yoga must always remain as Vishwa Nirmala Dharma.Perhaps the easiest way is to tell that these problems do not concern us. Butthe borders of the countries are only illusions for Sahaja Yogis - we are allone subtle body, and one part of the body is affected by a disease, the wholebody suffers. Being a detached witnessed we should not be insensitive andthe solution is in our hands as well as in the hands of our brothers andsisters from Russia.We described here only few facts that will provide sufficient insight into thenature of the existing problems in the Russian collective. All of the followingare only some examples of the manifestation of this destructive energy.Perhaps some of the dates are not as accurate, many facts are missing, andabout some we can only guess. But the material sufficiently illuminates theessence of the whole picture, new Mahabharata chapter on the newKurukshetra field.

Overture

Before 2005 there was a conflict between Alexander Solodiankin and SergeyPerezhogin connected with the fact that for some time Sergei Perezhoginwas a leader of Russia together with Alexander Solodiankin, and then in2000 Shri Mataji removed Alexander from the leadership and left onlyPerezhogin (in year 2000 .) In addition, the conflict was cause due to thenegative attitude of Sergei Perezhogin to marriages that are in violation of mariadas arranged and "blessed" in Togliatti collective by AlexanderSolodyankin. In 2005 the events took place where S. Perezhogin wasremoved from his position and a new coordinator, Dmitry Korotaev, wasappointed by Alan Wherry and Bogdan Shehovich, following therecommendations of Solodyankina.

2005 Which-hunting



After Sergei Perezhogin resigned from the leadership he was accused of corruption. Six months later, despite the fact that the allegations found noevidence at all, Perezhogin was removed from the collective and accused increating groups. Most of the charges were fabricated, and then circulatedthrough all over Russia and the world. To promote the negative impressionon Sergei Perezhogin, all video and audio medias with translations he made(he was interpreter for Shri Mataji's speeches) were destroyed also manybooks by S.Perezhogin translations. It was recommended for all Russians, todestroy all media and books too! But these were Mother's talks!

This was followed by threats of removal from Sahaja Yogis for those whokept friendly relations with the former leader and those who were activelyinvolved in spreading yoga. Russian Council and coordinator requested fromthose who were close with the former leader to write a written apology, as

well as a waiver of any contacts and relationships with the former leader.They demanded a complete renunciation of all contacts and threatened withremoval from the collective. Later, those who refused to write a writtenwaiver of contacts were also removed from the collective.

Labeling and hatred kindling started in the Russian collective. After anyslightest disagreement with the actions of a new government, yogis could beaccused of joining groups, in mistrust, in participating in attacks on thefamily of Shri Mataji, etc. 2006. Let there will be only one yogi in thecollective but the one who is fully devoted to the Mother!

The Russian Council forges the "voluntary" resignation of ValentinaKushnarenko from the

World Council

Many of those who where active sahaja yogis during previous years refusedto sign a letter of apologies to Shri Mataji's family and to Russian councilwere removed. Unofficial lists of "untrustworthy" were discussed in Moscowand other cities, list of "candidates for possibleremoval". Many yogis got a warning of possible removal from the collective.2007 Creation of a new Caliphate! Confession and repentance! Division of the collective! All seminars and festivals around Russia were prohibitedexcept the one in Togliatti.

Introduction of "permits" for attending international Pujas and seminars.Permission also required from the coordinator for visit collectives in othercities. They introduced rules requiring the passport data report for visitingthe Russian seminar in Togliatti. The spread the information that Shri Matajiwill come for the seminar in Togliatti in 2007 and raised moneyfor Her arrival. They were collecting money in spite of the accurateinformation that Shri Mataji is not coming. Many yogis went to a seminarspending their last money, thinking that Shri Mataji will be there.



Peaching and denunciations spreads in the Russian collective includingwritten denunciations. 2008 Power usurpation. Totalitarian command andcontrol, the "Peter and Paul" virus Spring 2008. The negativity saturnalia. Thecorruption of Sahaja Yoga principles.The Russian Council started to prevent Sahaja Yogis from attendingInternational pujas and national collective programs. By that time thenumber of Russian yogis reduced twice since 2005.

Yogis disloyal to the council were taken out from international Puja by force(Chindwara 2008) without reasonable explanations. Any expression of disagreement with the decisions of the council is followed by the threats of removal from the collective. In any case of expressing the independentopinion yogis are prohibited to participate in Sahaja activities.

Summer 2008. Creating a centralized cash flow. Attack of the Guru Principlein Russia.The information about the arrival of Shri Mataji for a seminar in Togliatti wasspread. Collecting money from the whole of Russia to organize Shri Mataji'svisit. Buying the land for Sahaja camp in Togliatti. So far there is noinformation about the funds collected, how it was spent, who owns the landand all the property acquired for this money). After the Guru Puja 2008lecture council gives explanations for Sahaja Yogis "what was actually meantinthis lecture and how to understand it properly". Threats of removal for those

who want to follow direct instructions given in this Puja.

Autumn, 2008. Attempt to restore Sahaj Dharma in Russia.

Petition with the request to the World Council to send a committee toinvestigate the legality of actions of the Russian Council. More than 300signatures from different cities of Russia, mainly from Moscow and St.Petersburg.

Winter 2008-2009. Laying hands on the collective property.

Russian Council state its exclusive right to use photographs and lectures of Shri Mataji. It starts with control over all means of communication in thecollective. 2009 Investigation. Search for justice. Voice of Dharma.

Winter 2009. Collection of facts.

Collecting evidence at the request of the World Council to ascertain theveracity of the facts of violation of dharma.



Summer 2009

Ignoring the decisions of the World Council by D.Korotaev World Councilcommits D. Korotaev to let everyone attend Togliatti camp during the visit of

Shri Mataji. A number of Sahaja Yoga were not allowed through the gate.Some Sahaja Yogis from the "blacklist" were let inside only after they fill awritten expression of loyalty to the Council. The World Foundation wants toallow everybody to attend Pujas, but only after coordination of the visitwith Korotaev, for many yogis this is inacceptable.

Fall 2009. Problems of the World Council

Because of problems with the NIPC, the World Council refuses to solve theproblem in the Russian Sahaja Yoga, as any action against the Russiancouncil may be interpreted as an action against the family of Shri Mataji, withwhich the World Council had argument (growing since 2006 and relating tothe issue with the Intellectual Property).

December 2009. Search for a Solution

The representatives of the World Council requested Anand, the grandson of Mother, to look into the problems in Russia, as Anand cannot be suspectedof acting against the family of Mother.

2010 Investigation of the Russian Council.

Complete separation of the collective. Interregional SY organization.

January 2010.

Political intrigues. Falsification of letters and lies. Dissolution of the WorldCouncil. Anand starts to understand the problems of Russia. He wrote aletter which directly speaks about theperversion of the teachings of Mother by the Russian council members.Russian council accuses Anand in "damaging the reputation of manymembers of the Russian Council." Yogisof Russia were told false information that Anand, Gregoire and other yogismade apologies in connection with the stated charges. Their words were cutout of the letters context which led to a complete distortion of theirmeanings and to fraud.

2010 February-April. Misinformation of Sahaja Yoga.

"Power" is such a sweet word. Anand collects information on the actions of the Russian Council. Tens of detailed letters describing the violations of the



principles of Sahaja Yoga were collected from various parts of Russia. Letterscome from Ukraine and other countries also. Russian Council represents thecollective "news" that in accordance with the Will of Shri Mataji they created anew, united organization in 2009. In this regard they say that the Council tocontinue its work over the next 5 years, i.e. until 2015.

May 2010. Committee for investigate violations of Sahaj Dharma is created.

Sir C.P. initiates a committee to investigate the activities of the RussianCouncil. Chris Kiriya с ou is appointed as the head of the committee . He hasan experience of participating in such committees. Chris tries to act thesame way as was done earlier: requesting financial reports, collectingevidences, he wants to understand how and what is happening. In responsethe Russian Council is spreading false information about the committee.

June 2010. Attempt to restore justice.

Hold on to power at any cost! Chris received dozens of letters from all overRussia describing various injustices and violations of the Sahaj principles.Russian Council urges Sir C.P. not to send a committee to Russia,threatening members of the committee with the troubles and problems bythe FSB (former KGB). Russian Council conducts a rapid poll in support of theRussian Council which was held with numerous violations. The result - 92%in support of the current council. The Council disseminates the falseinformation about the termination of the committee. The committee set upon behalf of Sir CP issues the report.

The Report was passed to the country coordinators, to Sir C.P. and publishedon the website http://news.sahaja-yoga.ru. The report highlights the moststriking manifestations of asahaj policies. (The report is here -http://news.sahaja-yoga.ru/Rep ortOnRussia.doc ) Russian Council under theleadership of Korotaev announced urgent "elections". The Internationalcommittee organized by Sir C.P. requested to stop the election because yogis

can notmake choices based on false information, when they are misled and do nothave the information about the true state of affairs.

Russian Council hurryingly conducts elections, ignoring the instructions of the committee.As a result, the elections were held with a number of violations, violatingboth basic election principles and Sahaja principles. For example:

1. Only 10-20% of the yogis were participating in elections - compared with

the 2005 year. The rest of yogis were either expelled from the collective orstopped coming to the programs due to disagreements with the Russian



Council, or simply were not informed about elections.2. Counting of votes was conducted in not transparent manner. There wereno independent observers, nothing could prevent the ballot-stuffing.3. There was no candidates nomination, i.e. everybody were writing theirown suggestions. Since there was nothing like the preparations, those wonwho made agreements in advance.4. In general, the method was carried out without taking into account thespecifics of Sahaja Yoga (vibrations were not taken into account), but alsothe simple rules of ordinary elections were ignored (the registration of voters, candidates, independent counting of votes).5. Elections were held despite the express instructions of the Chriscommittee. The authority of the committee in this matter were higher thenthe authority of the council which was under the investigation.6. Many yogis refused to participate in elections believing that the electionswere conducted in the way that does not conform to the Sahaj principles.

Their opinion is ignored and not taken for discussion, although it was basedentirely on the lectures of Shri Mataji. On the ground, everywhere we couldfind different violations or corruption. While some yogis took these electionssincerely, it does not change the fact of global violation of the Sahajprinciples. The result - simple rearrangement of main figures - thecoordinators of the regional councils have been transferred to the RussianCouncil, etc. Formal rotation within the same group of people who served asleaders for the past 5 years.

Moscow Sahaja Yogis wrote a letter to Shri Mataji with more than a hundredsignatures asking for blessings for opening the new hall and programsindependent from the council. In June - July the new hall was opened andrecognized by the international Sahaj community. The same halls wereformed in most major yoga centers in Russia.

June 2010 - Shri Adi Shakti Puja. The dissolution of the Russian Council.

The Russian Council has been dissolved, Dmitry Korotaev asked Shri Matajifor forgiveness for his mistakes and in front of witnesses promised Her inwriting to "leave all the Sahaj posts." That has not happened so far. ChrisKiriyacou appointed interim coordinators - A.Solodiankin and J.Marakasova,who, however, didn't take any actions as interim coordinators. Thenewsletter of the Russian Council spreads misinformation regarding NIPC.Nips requests to take away the website and the mailing list from the RussianCouncil. The Russian Council refuses to hand over a mailing list, andcontinues to use it, sending out misinformation to yogis. An independentnewslist were created in Russia from scratch (news.sahaja-yoga.ru). DmitryKorotaev is removed from the world country leaders mailing list. Dmitrycreates its own, fake newslist for world leaders (list-sahajayoga.org insteadlist.sahajayoga.org), and subscribes all leaders there, and then tries to

misinform them.



July 2010 - Guru Puja. Collective split in Russia.

The separation process in the Russian collective starts to take visible form.Yogis which have information, who are shocked with lies and a violation of the Sahaj principles are trying to convey this information to their collectives,but they are not allowed to do so, they are declared insane, they do not havethe opportunity to speak with the collective, etc. The independent hall iscreated in Moscow, big collectives are trying to create independent groups,and hundreds of yogis are going to new collectives.

The Russian Council refuses to stop its activities and send its representativesto an international coordinators meeting. On the international meeting inCabella they publicly tell the untruth about what's happening in Russia, theyrefuse to admit mistakes and stop their actions. Those present at themeeting were shocked with this lie and asked them to stop speaking.

The International Coordinators meeting unanimously decided(http://sahajayoga.org/swan/vi ew/swan_852_2010.asp ):

1. The Coordinator and all Russian Council members ought to step downfrom their posts with immediate effect, until a genuine, open, fair andrepresentative process of renewal can take place.2. During this period of transition there was an unanimous recommendation

that the Togliattiseminar and marriages be postponed. Marriages to take place throughnormal channels of themarriage committee on proposal of representative local leaders.3. Every yogi has a right to meditate and use Shri Mataji's photograph.Russian Council does not inform the collective about the Internationalcoordinators' decision, and all information spread by international collectivedeclared as false.

An informal meeting was held in Cabella where representatives of the

Council were invited to find solutions and to bring together the collective, touse collective introspection, to develop a system of cooperation based on theprinciples of vibration and Sahaja Yoga etc. All the proposals was refused.

July 4, Dmitry Korotaev and Alexander Solodyankin are excluded from theboard of NIPC directors. Anand requests requests Russian Sahaja Yogais toact without regard to the Russian Council (letter July 14,http://groups.google.com/group /sahaj-news-russia/browse_thread/thread/0c62566609f26e27# ) .

August - September 2010. In spite of everything!



Russian Council acts despite the decision of the International CouncilMeeting. They conduct the seminar Togliatti, create a "new" council, whichwas sent to Genoa for the approval and blessing. On the internationalcoordinators meeting at Shri Ganesha Puja the word was not given to thecouncil members. The proposed list of new council was not blessed andapproved. The World Foundation requests Nirmal System, a commercialcompany, to provide financial report of its activities - the request wasdenied. The Foundation representatives told that during the whole period of cooperation with this company no report was given, although it wasrequested. The World Foundation breaks the contract with the Nirmal System(refusing to extend it in connection with allegations of financial improprietyand copyright abuse). Nirmal System refuses to consider the contract brokenand continues to operate.

Thus, since September 2010, all Nirmal System products connected with ShriMataji's Intellectual property (books, lectures and videos) is counterfeit andproduced in violation of Sahaja dharma. On the puja in Cabella the "secretaryof international affairs" of the new "council", Julia Marakasova, issued arecommendation to stop all communications with foreign yogis, urging themnot to go to a meeting dedicated to finding solutions on how to unite theRussian collective, conducted by Alex Henshaw (Hong Kong coordinator).Thus, the separation of Interregional Sahaja Yoga Movement (council'sorganization, known as MOD) from the world sangha continues.

Autumn 2010. Sir C.P. requests the Dmitry Korotaev to resign. MOD - thererules ball!Sir C.P. says that Dmitry Korotaev must leave from the leadership andrequests elections after the Russian collective will become united again. Herequests the ex-coordinator to begin the process of creating financialactivity reports for 2005-2010. Sir C.P. says that all property should betransferred to the new council which is to be elected in the future. DmitryKorotaev prints this letter from Sir changing the translation, as if Sirrequested to transfer everything to "the Council, which has already beenelected before."

After trying to request a financial report from the Russian Council threats of prosecution follow. After that, Anand request the World Foundation toprohibit visiting the international Pujas for Tishin (new coordinator) and hisassociates.

October 3, 2010 A call for prudence.

Sir C.P. asks Sahaja Yogis to unite (http://news.sahaja-yoga.ru/TotheyogisofRussia.jpg) and choose the new Russian and local councils. On newprograms, independent from the council, everybody is invited to meditate



together, but a substantial number of yogis do not recognize them. Thus,the creation of united government is impossible.

Navaratri Puja. Message from Sir C.P. on the establishment of the NewRussian Council.Sir C.P. confirms that a new council is to be elected and that Dmitry Korotaevand his council should not have anything to do with the organization andholding new elections. Korotaev's group ignores coordinators meeting onNavaratri puja. Message from Sir C.P. again was misinterpreted in thecouncil's mailing list . Sir sends another letter with explainations(http://news.sahaja-yoga.ru/Le tter23102010.jpg): "Dmitry Korotaev has done his

job, his tenure has come to an end, he and the current Russian Council havebeen expected to and must step down from all posts immediately and handoverall tasks to the new organization. Dmitri and the Council should not beinvolved in elections going forward, allowing others to take up the new

initiative.

This does not happen.December 30, 2010. The intentions of Sir C.P. to withdraw his membershipfrom the MOD. The power behind the throne! On the meeting with RussianSahaja Yogis Sir expresses his intention to withdraw his membership fromthe Board of Trustees of the Interregional "Sahaja Yoga" movement (MOD).MOD "Sahaja Yoga" – an organization founded by Dmitry Korotaev,Alexander Solodyankinym and Vadim Tishin in 2009. To this day, DmitryKorotaev is official head of the organization, its co-ordinator.

2011. Troubled times. MOD continues to run the show!

March 25, 2011 Sir's requirements.

Sir C.P. withdraws his membership from the MOD and requests to remove hisname and the name of Shri Mataji from its documents, specificly saying: "Toprevent the association of my name and my Wife's name with yourorganization." MOD "Sahaja Yoga" does not publish the letter. They say thatSir C.P. withdraws his membership because Shri Mataji is not with us

anymore. In some collectives the representatives of the MOD announced thatthe letter is a forgery. The scan of the original letter:http://news.sahajayoga.ru/Lettersigned.jpg http://news.sahaja-yoga.ru/Letternotarized.jpg

Currently all major cities have several groups. The majority of Russian sahajayogis under various reasons continue to cooperate with Dmitry Korotaev'sorganization and transfer money to Togliatti. The organization became moreimportant than the collective manifestation of Dharma and Sahaj principles.Yogis supporting their MOD by their actions do not have the unity inside, the

unity is only outside. The other group of the yogis, who refused to supportthe MOD, is fragmented, they do not have any central leadership and operate



at their own discretion. Yogis who support the MOD are afraid to interactwith an independent part of the collective. The central government in Russiais no more, as there is no single unifying principle. The MOD is active, aswell as a private company, "Nirmal System", which is commerciallydistributes Sahaja materials. Where the profit from these activities of thecompany is going - nobody knows as there is no reporting of financialperformance of MOD.

Financial affairs for the 2005-2010 year are still a closely top secret.

The fact remains that there is no more united Sahaja Yoga collective inRussia ...*** *** *** The letter of Anand Varma (grandson of Shri Mataji) to SahajaYogis of Russia:

June 30, 2010 As you have every right to use the intellectual property of ShriMataji, why should you worry about these council people? Leave them alone.You can start not one but 100 programs if you want. You do not need anypermissions or authorizations. You can do exactly what a coordinator cando. Have your program, your own contributions and system in place to runyour meetings.

I have sent a similar letter to other Yogis in St. Petersburg. Please do as youwish in a positive light and do not criticize or politicize this process. Itshould simply be another portal to Glorify Shri Mataji and Sahaj Yoga.

PLEASE ESTABLISH YOUR GURU TATTWA WITHIN YOUR COUNTRY. WE ASOUTSIDERS CANNOT DO THAT FOR YOU. I HAVE PLACED THE LETTER FROMST. PETERSBURG YOGIS AT SHRI MATAJI'S FEET.

Best WishesAnand______________________________ ______________________________
