Dear ISPS Board Members Dear Brothers and Sisters
ISPS the way forward together
We offer our deepest Pranam to our dear Mother who out of her
compassion and love revealed Her
Swarupa as the Mother of the Universe to her children. May Shri
Ganesha make our heart pure andmay every good intention be
auspicious and fruitful.
We are writing this communication to the Sangha because many
parents and also Yogis who do not
have children at ISPS have addressed us The World Foundation
(Shri Mataji bestowed the remit of
education on the WF) for clarification and advice about the
recent incidents at our global school in
India. After a very turbulent term in 2013 without principal
there is a growing concern that such
situation would repeat itself. The dismissal of the principal
Mary Kuhn and a considerable number of
her merited staff has obviously led into a situation that is
perceived as highly unstable. Mutual trust
has suffered a lot due to these events. This might have been the
reason why the World Foundation
was asked to give assurances with regards to many aspects of the
school for example the safety ofthe children and that ISPS will
keeps on running according to Shri Matajis benevolent vision.
Naturally we all want ISPS to be that treasure of vibrations and
love that we could see beautifully
manifesting for example in the 2014 term. Parents want to send
their children to a place where they
are well taken care of and where they should be able to find
their own approach to this wonderful
life of being in a continuous state of connection with the all
pervading power. It should be a school
where children find the purity and clear atmosphere that would
allow them to enjoy their own bliss
which comes to them from inside by the merits of their past
lives. Together with their brothers and
sisters they should be able to develop their identification as
Yogis and the strength and
understanding to deal with a world which does not care for
spirituality, all this without losing neithertheir loving attitude
nor their dignity. This is the main reason why parents send their
children away
for such a long time to such a remote place and maybe it is the
only one.
We have good schools all over the world with globally respected
academic degrees and many of
them are free. We need ISPS to deliver a satisfactory academic
basis - no doubt, but children are not
going there just for their academics. They can have that aspect
covered somewhere else. It is nice to
have a good infrastructure but the more buildings are built the
fewer children attend. There is a lot
of good intention from all sides and with a genuine open
dialogue we should be able to establish
trust and a sustainable future for ISPS as a light that shines
from the Himalayas to enlighten the
world where children and parents feel happy and safe.
We have not achieved this as yet. The World Foundation again
offers its full support to the
Board/Society of ISPS to find terms for a sustainable future of
ISPS and a benevolent collaboration,
which would ultimately lead us beyond the continuous ups and
downs of the last decade. Through
the guidance of Shri Mataji we have established certain
standards of transparencywhich are the
basis of our credibility. We cannot go without those standards
in any Sahaj institution no matter the
country. The accounts have to be open and transparent at all
times and it needs to be very clear to
the sangha who is accountable for decisions. Decisions need to
reflect and respect the collective
wisdom to be sustainable. Especially for a global project like
ISPS, it seems essential to us to expand
the board with representatives who are professional
educationalists and who would be appreciatedby the world Sangha. We
are eagerly waiting for a sign of the ISPS board/Society to enter
into a

genuinely open dialogue in order to collaborate as brothers and
sisters at the Lotus Feet of our Holy
Mother.
Being worshippers of the same beloved Mother we should not have
any doubts that this offer would
find its acceptance. Unfortunately at present circumstances the
World Foundation cannot answer the
question with regards to the safety of children or about the
future course of ISPS positively.Responsibility for sending the
children at present lies entirely in the hands of the parents.
May we at this point also ask the Board/Society of ISPS to
kindly share the different answers to
collective parent letters openly with other parents and the WF.
It would be very helpful to
anticipate answers to further questions also.
The World Foundation humbly request the ISPS Board to urgently
answer the points highlighted and
underlined above on collaboration, financial transparency,
accountability for decisions, open
dialogue and the sharing of answers to parents questions.
ISPS has during the years always been a great opportunity to
face ourselves and luckily for so many
years Shri Mataji had in person taken care of every little
detail. As SHE is now in HER Nirakar Swarupa
it is up to us to live up to the responsibilities that SHE had
left to us. We are grateful to everybody
who during the history of ISPS has taken up responsibility and
we value each and every contribution
that has been made out of pure heart.
We have all come to our Yoga to experience peace and silence in
our heart and mind. This is all that
matters to us, because we want to remain in the realm of reality
within the silence of the spirit. We
want to listen to the soothing wind on our heads and feel the
subtle bliss flowing down. No noise, no
agendas, no blocking thoughts. We have in this mail offered from
our heart ways to come back to
that state.
May our Dear Mother please bless us all,
