Namaskar Vaidyanathan,

Below is an email I got from bandhu, along with the accusations and threats. I never asked him be a manager, just a servant, like the rest of us. Now I am getting tired of all this.

In Him, Dennis

Wow, what power, and control. He asks Bandhu to do something, and then overrules it. Untrustworthy? This is not the first time he has done it. Control freak? Perhaps a very poor manager. No, no; how can he be?

O! He thinks he the "number one devotee".

Dennis,

Though you had asked me in writing to ask Ms. Jojo Feng to leave, which I did with your knowledge and permission; you whimsically wrote to her that she can stay here for another month or two. This is in total contradiction of your own communication.

Since your writing to her by email, attacks in the shape of verbal abuse, and fabricated charges are being reported to you in writing. The attacks by Jojo Feng, viciously supported by Margo Martin, have gone beyond anything worthy of a spiritual place.

You yourself have a history of blaming and promoting rumors against Bandhu, not only through our spiritual congregation but even with our neighbors. You've personally accepted and agreed, when challenged by me, that yes, you have used accusatory expressions against Bandhu. You have called me by various derogatory expressions.

That said, I (Bandhu) will seek whatever protection he needs to seek. That may bring your name and the Ashrama's name to tarnish. I may need to protect myself against these baseless accusatory attacks by Margo Martin and Jojo Feng, because you are covertly and, or overtly responsible for such deplorable treatment of Bandhu.

Bandhu has tirelessly worked for the spiritual well-being and has furthered the reputation of this Ashram. He has also spent his own money in doing so, without being a burden on the Ashrama for even a penny. He has also stopped Margo Martin from stealing ashram's money.

Bandhu is once again requesting you to immediately allow and let Bandhu make this decision about Jojo, for NY Ashrama in your absence, to not let this situation escalate to a level, that will not be advisable for the reputation of "your ashram".

A copy of this communication may be sent to certain long term devotees, who may be able to help you see things with a clarity that you can not ask the local person responsible, and designated by you, to manage a place when you keep intervening, and overriding decisions, remotely, at whim and without any managerial dialogue.

Better sense prevail, Mr. Harrel. Please act fast. Time is running out.

Truly, and only in the name of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi,
🕉
Bandhu Shri
