Dear John,
Sorry for the delay in responding I have been with very intensive travel and now back I see an incredible number of exchanges regarding this Maha Yoga action that, by the way you alerted us about.
I am still going through the emails but I do not think I will engage in discussions back and forth. I am not the head of the legal team at NIPC, although I help as you had seen whenever possible to protect Shri Mataji's IP in the net. We had a meeting and a response was provided the the Maha Yoga group. I did not know who was behind this Maha Yoga, so this does not have anything to do with the conversation in America between Sahaja Meditation and this group. It seems very inapropriate to expand a Maha Yoga brand using Sahaja Yoga knowledge. Shri Mataji created Sahaja Yoga, which is complete in itself.
Anyway I forward you the message sent this week to the Maha Yoga team for your information.
With best regards,
Horacio

Jai Shri Mataji
Dear Maha Yoga members
As you are aware action has been taken concerning the violation of Shri Mataji's Intellectual Property rights which has resulted in the removal of Shri Mataji's talks from the Maha Yoga youtube channel. This has nothing to do with the Sahaja Meditation and Sahaja Yoga debate in America. It is an Australian Sahaja Yogi that brought this matter to our attention. We will also assist you in putting your youtube channel back online but without the library of Shri Mataji's talks.
Before we comment further, it is important to affirm the inalienable right of every Sahaja Yogi to spread and practice Sahaja Yoga freely. It is impossible to do this without having access to the full and authentic knowledge of Shri Mataji, just as She shared it with us. For this reason all of Shri Mataji's talks and videos are available to everyone in the world at every hour of every day on NirmalaVidya.org and on Amruta.org. In addition, Shri Mataji's talks and videos are in the possession of Sahaja Yogis all over the world and this is the way it should be.
This does not mean however that anything can be posted anywhere by anyone at any time.

This does not mean however that anything can be posted anywhere by anyone at any time.
Action has been taken concerning the videos of Shri Mataji posted on the Maha Yoga channel for the following reasons:
- the Maha Yoga channel put its "brand" of Maha Yoga on all of the videos of Shri Mataj. This is inappropriate. These videos do not belong to Maha Yoga channel or association and nor should videos or audios of Shri Mataji be associated with any type of "brand".
- hundreds of videos of Shri Mataji were uploaded in their entirety to the Maha Yoga channel. This poses legal issues and practical issues as potentially hundreds of youtube channels could each post "their own" hundreds of talks of Shri Mataji. A link to a video of Shri Mataji can be created by anyone which leads to the above mentioned internet sites using the same youtube channel and on which all of Shri Mataji's talks are uploaded;
Lastly, we strongly urge you to engage again with the larger collectivity in the America. Shri Mataji spread Sahaja Yoga not Maha Yoga. If you want to avoid using Sahaja Yoga or Sahaja Meditation in order to approach Corporations or government bodies please be aware that Shri Mataji authorised Sahaja Yogis to give realisation through the Center for Evolutionary Learning (CEL).
We do express our reservations about the use of Maha Yoga to spread what is in fact, Sahaja Yoga, but this is more a matter for you to sort out with the collectivity in America. Please give us the name of a Sahaja Yogi we can work with to get your youtube channel running again.
We await the name of this Sahaja Yogi and in the meantime will not be engaging in a back and forth by email.
With sincere respect,

Dear HoracioWe really need some information from NIPC about the takedown notices that your US lawyer has sent to youtube regarding the MahaYoga account.The Mahayoga youtube account is run by established Sahaja yogis, and has been going for four years.
- Are you objecting to specific videos on the account, if so, why?
- Are you objecting to the use of 'Maha Yoga' as some sort of brand name?

NIRMAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CORPORATION,(NIPC) has made A COPY-RIGHT STRIKE on Shri Mataji's talks on Maha Yoga Youtube channel. The Maha Yoga Channel was launched four years ago, and has nearly 5000 subscribers from all over the World. There are many American new yogis from, Washington DC, VA, MD and other states joining Sahaja Yoga YouTube live classes every week.
Not even a warning was issued before they took this drastic action. It is a step taken towards expediting shut down of the Maha Yoga YouTube channel.
Please check the content of the channel here https://www.youtube.com/mahayoga . Similar contents are posted in thousands of Youtube channels in USA and all over the World. Some of those channels have advertisements and make money on Shri Mataji's talks. There is no monetization on the Maha Yoga channel. We have always been transparent in serving Shri Mataji's mission and message.
It is evident in many talks and in 2008 Guru Puja talk that, we all Sahaja Yogis have been given full freedom by Shri Mataji to carry Shri Mataji’s work. We do not understand why after such a long time that NIPC knows of our operations, without warning or discussion suddenly the Maha Yoga Channel is being singled out.
The Channel is purely for Shri Mataji's divine work, the channel is linked to www.TheMahaYoga.org, which we use for Corporate and Federal Public Programs. We spend our personal money to conduct all PP and meetings in Washington DC, VA, MD states. Please check the FB page to know more https://www.facebook.com/TheMahaYoga/
According to the 2008 Guru Puja talks, Shri Mataji gave full freedom to spread Shri Mataji's work, by using the Photograph and by not taking any money. We do not take money. We use our own money for all Public programs and events. We purely bring only Shri Mataji's message to the attention of the seekers. And we are relatively successful in gaining recognition and participants. Then why we are being controlled? Is it because we are not following a ' Sahaja Meditation ' approach in USA?
From 2008 Guru Puja talk
..." So now I am no more available in the sense I’ve done My best and I think I won’t be able to do this again. It is not my old age but I want to give you a complete freedom to spread Sahaja Yoga. You have got it free and you also have to give it to people free – not to charge them "...
Those of our Brothers and Sisters worldwide who wish to support securing freedom of using Shri Mataji's photographs and talks to purely carry forward Shri Mataji's Message to Mankind in the position of Her ordained children and instruments, as we have been doing nothing wrong, kindly contact NIPC and NIPC Director Gagan Ahluwalia, gagan.ahluwalia@globalstep.com and ask them to desist from threats, desist from trying to shut down the Maha Yoga Youtube channel
Thanking you kindly for your action in support,
Jai Shri Mataji!

Dear brothers and sisters
Jai Shri Mataji.
Wish you all Happy Christmas and Happy New Year.
We hope you are all enjoying the blessing of Shri Mataji being in Central Committee.
Thank you for dedication and your work for Shri Mataji.
We Haritha and Prasad Salunkhe, from Washington DC, USA, are seeking your refuge, need your protection and support in working for Shri Mataji and spreading Her message.
We are not Maha Yogis, not leaders nor we seek money. We are just NirmalaDaas, subservient servants of Shri Mataji. We feel the urgency and the pain of families in our community, so we want to continue to spread Shri Mataji’s message to everyone without any fear and hindrance.
As guided by Shri Mataji’s talks, we are contacting you for help.
Just FYI, summary of our story:
VND changed the method of Sahaja Yoga and formed a new method Sahaja Meditation (SM). It created many problems in all US collectivities. From 2012 many yogis opposed SM in USAyogis google group and other groups.
From Washington DC, we stood up for using only Sahaja Yoga method but VND & DC collective ostracized us. Being in the collective, there were no options left for spreading Sahaja Yoga, so we announced in 2013 and left the SM collective and stated, we are not part of SM but only Sahaja Yoga.
For all practical reasons, to work with Federal Govt. & Corporates, and based on Shri Mataji’s talks and vibrations, “Maha Yoga” organisation was formed in 2014 and we used Shri Mataji’s desired name ‘Maha Yoga’. In all Public Programs, we present Shri Mataji’s method as it is.
Please check MahaYoga website for all substantial details and also check miracle pictures. https://sites.google.com/view/ themahayoga/
Now, (Nov 27th, 2018) after 5 years, being aware of our activities, NIPC (Nirmal Intellectual Property Corporation) is coming after us. NIPC claims, it has sole legal authority on Shri Mataji’s Intellectual Property. Without prior warning and ignoring all our requests, NIPC used Cowan Liebowitz law firm in NY, made multiple copyright strikes on Maha Yoga youtube channel and closed down the channel. Our youtube channel has custom url www.youtube.com/MahaYoga, which, we got after a long time of hard work. There are 5k subscribers. Twice a week, many people meditate with us through youtube live. We did not brand any video, we simply uploaded videos on Maha Yoga channel for our seekers easy access. We did not make any money on Shri Mataji’s Intellectual Property. By Shri Mataji’s grace we spend our own money to run Maha Yoga Organization.
After reaching World Collectives, US leaders and other US collectives for help, NIPC responded
and stated that we do not have any rights to use Shri Mataji’s intellectual property. They stated, if we go to local collective (which is SM) and use CEL approach, they can give Maha Yoga YouTube channel back but without Shri Mataji’s talks
We do not accept their terms because,
- SM and CEL do not use Shri Mataji’s pure methods.
- Based on our miraculous experiences in Maha Yoga events.
- We have spent thousands of our personal money for Maha Yoga organisation.
For all the above reasons, we can not close down Maha Yoga organisation.
That is why we did not respond to NIPC’s email, and just waiting for your help.
Based on NIPC’s actions, they can take legal actions against Maha Yoga anytime, if not now, they can come after Maha Yoga and us in the future.
Without freedom to use Shri Mataji’s Intellectual property we cannot do anything in the public.
We would like to know what Shri Mataji agreed in the ownership transfer document, which was given to ‘Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Sahaja Yoga World Foundation’ (SMNDSYWF).
- Did Shri Mataji give permission to SMNDSYWF to pass ownership to Nirmala Vidya llc?
- Did Shri Mataji give permission to Nirmala Vidya/NIPC to copyright Her Intellectual Property?
- Did Shri Mataji agreed to give freedom to Sahajayogis for using Her intellectual property for spreading Sahaja Yoga?
Based on many Shri Mataji’s own words, Shri Mataji never agreed to copyrighting Her intellectual property. Below is one talk related to that.
