When Sahaja Meditation was launched, it was mentioned clearly not to use Mother's picture, no use of yoga name or no old chakra chart (with Shri.Chakra). After few years they said Ok its fine to use mother picture. Please let's not deny this fact.
If you remember Angela, at the PP in Jewish center 4-5 years ago in MD, on the stage we had confusion whether to put Shri.Mataji pics. For this PP, we did advertisement by using poster with hand, small kid blowing flowers, and a very small stamp size picture of Shri.Mataji on the back. What result we got?
Not even 10 seekers showed up for the 400 capacity hall, it was all yogis only. One of the council member had a dream night before, that nobody showed up for this big PP.
One of the most disastrous PP in DC sahajayoga history. We followed all that was prescribed by SM formula. God knows how many angels were dissatisfied with our so-called effort to hide YOGA and Mother's picture. Forget about money spent in thousands.
As a VND officer you have been over-seeing that DC council follows Sahaja Meditation, which they are implementing diligently on the whole DC collective.
C is best when used for Clear Cut Communication, Collaboration and Co-operation but is ugly when used for Controlling and Censoring.

Dear Prasad,
This is about as great as a distortion of actual events as I have seen.
I clearly remember the public program you are talking about in DC because I was asked to help with the programs (there were 4 programs advertised on consecutive days).
1) The programs were advertised at short notice at a new location were few yogis lived
2) The reason for the late advertising was a big discussion because the Sahaja Meditation cards did not have Shri Mataji's picture and the organizing team threatened to cancel it. As a compromise, we reprinted the cards with Shri Mataji's photograph on the back. Also the posters were printed with Shri Mataji's photograph.
3) The meeting had an altar type picture in front on a table in addition to a large projected chart with Shri Mataji's photo
4) It is true that few people came for the first night, but the second night had many more and we had around a hundred people signed in total the for the 4 programs.
5) At the end of the 4 day programs people were given a meditation kit with a guided meditation and a photocard containing a photograph of Shri Mataji to meditate on.
6) We had around 15-20 people attending the follow ups for months, including one or two advance 1 day seminar where we did footsoak and played Shri Matjais lecture. These seminars were attended by people after the follow ups had closed. Some came back a year later for a 1 day seminar in the same area.
7) The followup meetings were closed after a few months because of lack of attendance of yogis and we could not keep the hall.
8) I was in contact with some of the people attending for years and they came to meditations in our house. We also had some of our regular NIH people attending who settled after these program.
So I don't believe that it was the worst program in DC history, nor was it following the Sahaja Meditation instructions to the book.
Just recently you were sending an email saying how many people you gave realization in DC using Sahajayoga Meditation. Did anybody stop you from doing that? There are several others in our collective conduction Sahaja Yoga meditations. Were they stopped from doing them?
I feel with you regarding your desire to have more focus on Sahaja Yoga Meditation, but to distort facts like this will not help anybody.
I want to apologize if I offended anyone with my emails. Maybe expressed unsuccessfully so, but I do strongly desire that we can act together as one collective. I fully agree with Brennan' suggestion for a meeting at Adi Shakti puja to find a solution which helps us yogis and the American public, which Shri Mataji has blessed with so much attention.
Love, Walter
