Dear ISPS Parents,
As you know by now, Mary was relieved from her duties as principal of ISPS a day or two after children and parents left the school at pick-up time in December. The cause of her termination that was given orally was a work visa issue, but there was no reason written in the official termination letter she received around Christmas. It is my full understanding that Mary's work visa could easily be extended, however.
There was absolutely no open communication from the GB/Society beforehand about their intention to let Mary go at the end of the year. Moreover Mary did an excellent job as principal and most parents would agree to this (as well as the students themselves; the best and truest judges to this statement.) The real problem at ISPS are the GB/Society members who do not seem to really care about the subtle and spiritual evolution of ISPS. Otherwise why would they fire a very good principal, whose priority was/is vibrations? I feel that ISPS can't improve sustainably on the governance side with the current GB/Society members.
Why don't we use vibrations? But somehow the GB/Society does not want to do that when it comes to staffing and/or student admissions......all but one or two of the foreign staff have now been fired from the school (is that Sahaj?) and most of the (good) staff who were employed by Mary and myself are also being fired (is that how Sahaja Yogis would behave?). Could it be that the GB/Society members are not Sahaja Yogi (nis)? Why would we allow non-yogis to decide the fate, future and progression of a Sahaj school?
Therefore I humbly encourage each and every parent to use their own (divine) discretion whether or not to send their child(ren) to ISPS in 2015. I'm sending my child to Cabella school where the collective governance is not only well-known, but also clearly following Sahaj practices and principles, including making all financial information clear and available to all.
We all hope that Sadhana Didi will stay true to her words and send out an email to all parents soon, giving an accurate picture about ISPS finances (including the ISPS Society accounts) as well as a list of ISPS Society members. Let's at least be honest with everyone. Open and transparent communication with all parents would be the minimum one should expect from the GB/Society.
It is my hope and prayer that the New Year will bring lots of positive changes all over the (Sahaj) world. The children are the future of Sahaj and therefore of this entire world. Mary and I have experienced, over nine months last year, their great promise, great joyfulness, great openness and love, and we feel, along with you all, no doubt, the responsibility of their proper Sahaj education.
In this sense I'm wishing you ALL the best and a Happy New Year.
From my heart,
Marcel Kuhn
