Dear Vijayji:
Thank you for the candid response. I do not want to interfere with your
efforts towards reaching at a compromise, because if you do reach a
compromise, we all stand to benefit from it. You must have noticed that
Sri Nachiketa Tiwari, Sri Bon Giovanni and Sri Jai Maharaj are opposed to
any reorganization. You have not (unless I missed it) engaged in a
discussion with them why their opposition must be dismissed. Please
understand that in a democratic setup, not always the "right thing to do"
is the thing that is approved by the majority. I believe that is the
greatness of democracy as that provides a means to bring together
opposing sides. A call for vote is not a bad thing, and it is perhaps
preferable than analyzing personalities, which is what we are doing now,
trading charges.
I complement you for declaring that you are indeed Hindus. I believe
that helps. The second issue of "conspiracy" is still at large, and you
can put a stop to that too. For example, you could say that the
critical, disagreeing views of how the SRH functions, under Ajayji's
moderatorship, as has been presented to us as "evidences" by several
people; are fabrications, merely bad cut and paste jobs, you really never
had an ulterior motive; or, accept that those were your intentions and
you have since then distanced from that stance. A third insinuation is
that the silence of the proposed moderators is evidence that they do not
want to be a party to this reorganization plan anymore.
That would be my short list for you. I do not know right now what to
advise Ajayji, so I am refraining from it.
I apologize for crowding the SRH myself, right after complaining about it.
With best regards,
Dhruba.
