La SRCM et l'argent

jeudi 3 janvier 2008

Ile Maurice

(Dernière actualisation le 18 février 2009)

Estimations :
- 3 précepteurs en 2005-7
- Abhyasis : une cinquantaine
- 30 à 50 abhyasis par million d’habitants

Une affaire de famille
Le Centre-in-charge et sa femme sont tous deux précepteurs, ainsi qu’un troisième larron. Afin de développer son affaire, le CiC n’hésite pas à demander des financements extérieurs pour qu’il puisse quitter son job et exercer à plein temps son rôle de "travailleur spirituel" (sic), à raison de 50 000 US$ par an…


Un "travailleur spirituel" à 50 000 US$

D’après une information de 4d-Don

Sur ChangeMakers.net, une initiative de l’association Ashoka qui regroupe des entrepreneurs sociaux, on découvre une demande de financement du Centre-in-charge de la SRCM sur l’Ile Maurice pour qu’il puisse quitter son job et exercer son rôle de "travailleur spirituel" (sic) à temps plein.

En ces temps de crise et faute d’argent, on financerait donc maintenant des travailleurs spirituels plutôt que des travailleurs sociaux, et à 50 000 US$ l’an, excusez du peu !
Cela me rappelle l’Eglise catholique qui, à défaut de promettre le paradis sur terre, le promettait au ciel…

Dear Sisters/Brothers,

AWAKENING OF LOVE IN HUMAN HEARTS

First of all I would like to express my deep and profound appreciation and gratitude to the Ashoka Changemakers for the noble cause that it is serving .I am writing for a special assistance for grants .
I am 52 years old and am a professional Accountant (FCCA). I work as Bursar (Financial Controller) at the Mahatma Gandhi Institute,plus as freelance Auditor and Accountant, but my real interest is in spirituality, in the realisation of the Divine Self present in the Human Heart and serving my Master in spreading spirituality which brings better understanding, harmony, love and unity among all people and other living beings of the universe(including Nature)- and ultimately realization of the Divine Self /oneness with the Ultimate. I wish to serve the noble cause being served by my Master .

I am the Centre-in-Charge and preceptor of a spiritual organisation called the ''SHRI RAM CHANDRA MISSION''(Mauritius Centre) which has its Head quarters in Chennai, India (www.srcm.org & www.sahajmarg.org )The Spiritual Master is Shree P. Rajagopalachariji .My wife is the Vice Centre in charge and is also a preceptor. She does not work but gives meditation sittings everyday, to women 4 to 5 hours per day. Shree Ram Chandra Mission is a non –sectarian spiritual organization and is represented in almost all countries of the world.

We have built an Centre above our house (since October 1999). The Ashram consists of a meditation hall, a kitchen, two rooms, and one room for the Divine Master and three terraces. We have put the Ashram freely at the disposal of the mission here for holding of its spiritual activities (group and individual meditation sessions, spiritual seminars, lending library, talks etc

Grant for Full Time Spiritual Worker

I always cherished the wish that I can devote my whole time to Spirituality in the service of my Master, imparting spiritual training to humanity under the Sahaj Marg System of meditation. But this is only possible if I win a lottery which I can put in a fixed deposit or get a life endowment which can generate annual interest of about US$ 50,000 for my living and family commitments(refund loan on the centre, other loans contracted, studies for my two children and for spiritual commitments). . Presently I devote only my mornings(sometimes) and my evenings, saturdays and sundays in conducting individual/groups meditation sittings to people. As a Professional Accountant (FCCA-UK) I can now study for a Masters or for an MBA to allow me to get a higher post(promotion) with increased salary. But deep inside in my heart the call is to better serve my Master in spreading spirituality-including promoting the oneness of humanity and the interconnectedness of all life and facilitating the integration of an emerging holistic consciousness into daily action—

I am submitting a humble and sincere request for realising my wish for a full time spiritual worker through a Life Endowmwnt with monthly income of Approx US$4000. NOTE: No fees are charged for Meditations..As a result of my spiritual practice and the Grace and blessings of my beloved Master I have got the spiritual enthusiasm to become a full time spiritual worker for the rest of my life.

Mauritius is a multi-cultural society ,with so many religions .The meditation for which I serve is universal (non sectarian) and people from all religious backgrounds who practice this meditation, generates love and are contributing effectively to make this world a better place.

As a full time spiritual worker my commitment will be as follows:

1. To cater for the spiritual upliftment of humanity in general, without any distinction of religion, caste, greed, sex or nationality.
2. To travel to different parts of the country and give talks on the spiritual way of life.
3. To introduce interested people and spiritual seekers into meditation.
4. To travel to different parts of the country and to give individual sittings and group sittings(meditation sessions)
5. To set up one main spiritual complex and other meditation centres throughout the country.
6. To impart (read and explain) the spiritual teachings of the spiritual Masters.
7. To bring understanding, harmony and unity among people of all faiths so that they can live in peace.Promote the concept of ONE humanity and the interconnectedness of all Life.
8. To recommend the making of additional preceptors for Mauritius.
9. To ensure my personal continued spiritual development by going to see my Master in India and staying in the Ashram for about four weeks (at least once a year but 2/3 times a year if possible).

NOTE: My wife who is the preceptor in charge for imparting spiritual training to women and also the vice-centre in charge of th e Shri Ram Chandra Mission of Mauritius will also assists me in the spiritual tasks .
10. Doing any other spiritual tasks as directed by the Living Spiritual Master.
This spiritual path definitely leads to transformation and the goal is to merge with the ultimate/realization of the oneness of all Life.(We are part of the whole).

It has to be pointed out that spirituality is above all religions and open to ALL persons without regard to any caste, creed, religion, nation, race etc...

From the depth of my heart I humbly and kindly request you to consider realising my dream for a full time Spiritual worker.Please advise me on steps to be taken or other foundations or individuals to be contacted.Could you kindly hand over this humble request to individuals/other foundations.
I shall inform and get the permission and Divine Blessings of my Master in case this project is approved. Also I shall prepare a yearly report /survey analysis on the transformation of people by the project.
Hoping to receive a reply as soon as possible, I thank you deeply in the name of God and in the names of all those who shall benefit from this project

Yours sincerely
S.GOWTUM MOTAH
MAURITIUS
