"Babuji y exprime son opinion, comme quoi le "Sahaj Marga" a remplacé les différentes confréries soufies qui lui apparaissent comme dépassées." dit Elodie

There has been a common anxiety of the intellectuals about the roots of “Sahaj Marg” (a spiritual-system propagated by Shri Ram Chandra Mission, Shahjahanpur), whether or not is an offshoot of Sufism, mainly because on the grounds of its declared “Aadiguru” (founder-spiritual-Master), Mahatma Ramchandra (Laalaaji) Maharaj of Fatehgarh (UP) was a saint-preceptor of Naqshbandiya-sufi-nisbat (esoteric-lineage).
Recently we have received a scanned-copy of a personal letter signed by the Founder President of ‘Shri Ram Chandra Mission’, Shahjahanpur (UP). The sender of this document is Shri S.R.D. Kudesia (Sampat Baabu) of Fatehgarh (UP). Shri Bhagwan Bharose Vaidya, the addressee of this letter was Sampat Baabu’s father and an adherent of Rev. Laalaaji Maharaj, right from his Govt. service-period in Fatehgarh-courts.
The concerned parties may use of the contents of the document, subjected here above.

Feb. 14, 1963
My dear Bhagwan Bharosey
I have gone through your letter address-
ed to Dr. L.P.Srivastava. I am very thankful to you for having
graced our annual function by your kind presence. Your company,
short though it was, was very joyful to me and I long to have it
again
I am also grateful to you for your appreciation of my
thought which usually none even gives time to hear about. I am
where I ought to be and I sincerely wish that all of us may be up
to know and practise what is actually real.
Times have undergone radical changes but to my greatest
regret I find our brothers sleeping yet. The Mohamadan systems
have all breathed their last and this, 'The Sahaj Marga' the only ONE has now emerg
ed out in their place. Its teachings and methods widely differ
from those of the old systems in many respects. One having a deve
loped vision and being sensitive to some extent at least, can
easily mark well the difference between the two. The method of
training and the nature of Faez are all purely Hinduised and they
are free from all superfluous things introduced into the ways of
transmission under those systems. The spiritual connections
of all Mohamadan Sansthas - Naqshbandi, Chishti and all -
have been cut off. The fact has been discovered by most of the
prominent Mohamadan saints of standing, even, and I know
of one who acknowledged this fact before my brother disciple
Shri Rameshwar Prasad Misra.
I do not mean to induce you or any body else to accept it
on my words but I simply point it out to every one to study and
judge for himself. The changing nature of the world is a clear
indication of it. Every one should now qualify himself for the
new system which has come down direct from above. Then alone
shall he be capable of transmitting on others the desired effect
My revered Master has prepared me for this sort of work. During
his life time he valued my letters to him so highly that he pre-
served them safely. All of them depict something or the other
of the Nature's course which is being displayed today.
I have authorised Dr. Lalta Prasad Srivastava to impart
spiritual training to Abhyasis through transmission. I am con-
fident that he will do his job well and shall be thoroughly
capable of standing all tests.
With best wishes,
Yours sincerely,
Ram Chandra
