<<... Sadhana didi's talk about legal obstacles and visa obstacles was just an act, a replacement had already been found for Mary and Marcel, and not a single legal or visa obstacle has ever been communicated, not to parents or to Mary and Marcel.

Open Letter to Sadhana Didi
December 12th, 2014
Most respected Sadhana Didi,
Prior to the arrival of Sir Marcel and Ms. Mary Kuhn, we, the undersigned parents of the ISPS students, were aware that the situation with respect to the wellbeing of the children at the school was difficult.
However, since the arrival of this couple as Principal and General Manager we find that things have greatly improved and the entire school has opened up like a flower.
We are greatly impressed by their work and we strongly believe that Ms. Mary and Mr. Marcel’s active participation in the overall activities of the school are the main reason for such a great improvement.
Therefore, in order to ensure the continuity of a satisfactory school performance in ISPS, we would like to request you to reaffirm the position of Ms. Mary as the Principal and Mr. Marcel as the General Manager of the school.
Please note that the undersigned parents would not guarantee their support in the hiring of any new Principal.
Furthermore, we believe that Ms. Mary and Mr. Marcel should be empowered with all the necessary authority to look after the well-being of the children and the school by allowing them to be involved in the human resources management of the school.
This should involve having the ability to recruit and let go personnel.
Finally, there is a great concern regarding the significant increase in school fees.
Therefore, we would like to request a plan outlining the use of the additional funds.
In addition, we request that all financial information be transparent and disclosed to Ms. Mary and Mr. Marcel for them to share with the parents on a regular basis.
We kindly request your feedback regarding the above mentioned matters at your earliest convenience, as your response will affect the parents’ decision regarding the students’ return for the 2015 school year.
May the school continue to grow in Sahaja Yoga and continue to benefit from the teachings and blessings of our Holy Mother Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi.
Jai Shri Mataji!
The parents of the ISPS students

Please support Mary and Marcel who have made a difference to the students and school at ISPS and are committed to their roles at the school.
As an ex-student who attended for 7 years and graduated 10th class board exams, I know first hand the ups and downs, and challenges faced at the school.
We have two children of our own now who we intend to send in a couple years, and are committed to supporting the school to be the best place it can be.
I have also worked with Mary and Marcel and know that they are both Sahaja Yogis with integrity and a balanced approach to doing the best job that they can, whether it is to establish Sahaja Yoga in new parts of the world, as they have, or to support the improvement of the Sahaja Yoga sangha, no matter whichever country they were residing in, at the time.
All my support goes to them and the school to find a solution to overcome whatever obstacles may be present today.
I know as a student that having consistency and retention in the school management and staff, always improved our experience.
Jai Shri Mataji.

I will not send my children to ISPS simply because the academic level of the school is not good. And talking with teachers, this year academics were neglected even more. ISPS is not just a refuge for children where they stay away from bad influence of western or westernized societies but it is also a place where they exercise their enlightened attention to excel in academics and live in a good community of Sahaj Yogis behaving respectfully and lovingly with others. Good academics should be a simple by-product of good environment at the school and should be used as a tool to keep children engaged. Senior teachers and academic counsellor were sure that this years academic results of board exams will further prove this to be true. Mary and Marcel might be good leaders but i hear not so good reports from academics side and also from staff management side. They presence at ISPS has been to provide a leadership only and not a direction. Of course the communications have been good from isps since they arrived but i expect more.
