Le VBSE (Value Based Spiritual Education), sorte de guide d'une éducation dite spirituelle, est largement utilisé dans l'éducation et la formation des enfants par les adeptes du Sahaj Marg. Il serait aujourd'hui utilisé par plus d'une centaine d'écoles en Inde, selon la SRCM, à commencer par la LMOS. Quelques exemples et réactions :
Les élèves de la Lalaji Memorial Omega School
Chari annonce aux élèves de LMOS que l'école remplace leurs parents. C'est sympa pour les enfants, c'est sympa aussi pour les parents, abhyasis ou non, de voir ce que Chari pense d'eux.
Il a d'abord fondé l'école et cherché à la remplir, puis ensuite il explique aux gamins que leurs parents ont renoncé à leur devoir de parents. Je ne sais pas ce qu'un psychiatre dirait des dégâts psychologiques que cela peut engendrer chez un enfant…
"(…) Your parents have a happy time, you know they have the money to send you here. And nowadays, especially in modern society, parents don’t take responsibility for the upbringing of their children as they used to do in the past. So the school seems to have acquired, schools seem to have acquired a double role, that we have to play the part of your parents as well as the part of your instructors, as well as being your parents very often, because for those of you in the hostel, our wardens must be like parents: you must trust them, you must love them, and you must obey them—things which don’t always happen in the families. Take it seriously, don’t smile. Listen attentively, take it seriously."
Elodie a ajouté à cela une partie d'un discours de Chari prononcé à Vrads lors de sa récente tournée européenne en mai 2008 (citation issue de la Lettre européenne de juin 2008) :
“…Une vie morale doit commencer au berceau, avec les parents. Mais je suis désolé de dire que les parents dans le monde occidental ont à peine le temps ou l’inclination pour ce travail très vital dans l’éducation de leurs enfants. Aussi la Mission essaie de jouer un rôle pour que les enfants de nos abhyasis passent de plus en plus de temps dans ces ashrams partout en Europe et en Inde, de manière à ce qu’ils apprennent à vivre dans cette atmosphère, qu’ils l’aiment, qu’ils la chérissent et qu’ils sentent que lorsqu’ils la quittent, ils sont dans un monde qui est perdu et doit être reconstruit."
Les deux textes vont dans le même sens. Après la création du VBSE et son utilisation dans diverses écoles indiennes, Chari a éprouvé le besoin de créer sa propre école (LMOIS). Les parents n'ont pas le temps pour leurs enfants, ils renoncent à les éduquer, tel est le message. Plutôt que d'encourager les parents à mieux s'occuper de leurs enfants, Chari propose que la Mission s'en occupe à leur place, grâce à cette école et en les amenant dans les ashrams.

I would urge parents to become aware of the dangers in the "religious boarding school" model, where the authority of the teacher, who needs to be obeyed for the sake of discipline in the classroom, compounded with the "love" the teacher (guru) of religion, disempowers the children and such "imbalance of power" makes them potential victims for the pedophiles who are admittedly attracted to such schools and other such "imbalances of power". When there is victimization, as in the "Catholic Religious Boarding Schools", the victims are not believed and the victims are re-victimized, this time in PUBLIC by the media and the courts ... the love and trust demanded by Chari (above) is the same "love and trust" that convinced the "Catholic" parents to place their children in the care of the un-screened and un-trained "BROTHERS AND SISTERS", many (not all) of whom turned out to be pedophiles.
In the Catholic "religious boarding schools", we were told that "our families were not our families anymore" and that we were "married" to "Holy Mother the Church". The deviant priests, who could withold the sins of his victims, and not forgive them, thus had the power of "eternal damnation" or "eternal salvation" over the children. That is now called: "intellectual terrorism".
Of course, we now know that the power imbalance in the "catholic religious boarding schools" attracted many pedophiles (from Europe) and culminated in many charges of assault (physicial, emotional, sexual). The effect of this "systemic abuse" is still being felt by the victims and their families to this day.
On WIKI, editors with user id, "Reneeholle" and "Marathi Mulga" and others (members of SRCM (California) refuse to put the Caution by the Founder of Sahaj Marg, Ram Chandra of Shahjahanpur (Babuji) that is in their (SRCM) PR material and in many of their books, that states:
Sahaj Marg is only recommended for those over 18yrs old. (Babuji)
WHY THE REFUSAL to put in the CAUTION by the FOUNDER in an encyclopedia article? Why is that refusal supported by some WIKI "admins"?
See these communities on Orkut where Sahaj Marg seems to target children:
Children's Sahaj Marg (has 10 members, and does not have the SRCM emblem)
Sahajmarg Youth Hyderabad (Owner "SRK" also calls himself "DON"...suspicious??...it is not me)
READ my warning to Parents of Children who attend "religious boarding schools" (what is SRCM and their VBSE teaching your child?)
Value Based Spiritual Education (VBSE), at Lalaji's Memorial Omega (international) School (LMOIS) of SRCM (California)
A Heads-up from an "ex-Catholic"
READ THE VBSE curriculum...
Value Based Spiritual Education read the cute little stories in lessons 1- and 2 and read the section on ALL religions in Lesson 10. Notice the "justifying" of flawed philosophy, religious intolerance, and false accusations towards other religions... In light of the history of SRCM and Sahaj Marg, the accusation on other RELIGIONS rings hollow and sound like "growing the business" by bad-mouthing other "businesses".

VBSE Children's Program & Summer Camps
Echoes India de juillet 2008 s'attarde sur les camps d'été pour les enfants et les jeunes. Il cite pas moins de 8 exemples : "Ashrams around the country were abuzz with activity during the holiday season".
A Bangalore c'était 40 enfants de 3 à 18 ans, à Jaipur 40 enfants de 3 à 17 ans, à Hyderabad de 9 à 17 ans ou dans le Kerala 52 enfants dont seulement 12 de familles d'abhyasis, etc.
Qu'y ont-ils fait ? Exemples : "The morning started with reciting of Mission's prayer", "The day commenced with introductions and was followed by Yoga", "The plays carried the message, 'Religion divides, Spirituality unites' and 'God is everywhere'. The children had been preparing for this day since long at the children's centre every Sunday", ou bien encore un atelier pour teenagers : "the need to manage one's anger, frustration and negative emotions. Very exciting was the budget exercise where the teenagers were asked to plan a monthly budget of Rs. 10,000".
A Singapour, c'est un VBSE chidren's program qui est mis en place. Les enfants sont classés par groupes d'ages : juniors (4-9 ans) et seniors (10-19 ans). "(…) a play which highlights the value of striving to achieve perfection" (Sing Voice - avril 2008).
