Judgement from the Working Committee
Auroville finally takes Shraddhalu to account for his actions. As much as anyone Auroville’s Savitri Bhavan has facilitated Shraddhalu’s moxy for distorting reality by allowing him to continue to speak with authority at their venue even though he has run amok in the rest of the world. In his fundamentalist crusade he has promulgated all manner of falsehoods in waging criminal and civil battles against Peter Heehs and the Ashram Trustees but now, the Working Committee in Auroville has finally stepped in. Shraddhalu not only had the audacity to lead a mob that he had bussed in from back roads of Orissa to protest the Ashram under the Darshan balcony itself, but members of his gang attempted to rough up a senior Ashram Trustee. The Working Committee of Auroville has declared:
“In the light of the events which have taken place on 27th February at the Ashram, the Working Committee on 29th February has requested Savitri Bhavan to discontinue Shraddhalu’s talks.”
Its up to Savitri Bhavan now to comply or continue to cuddle Shraddhalu.

Savitri Bhavan has in fact complied with the request to have Shraddhalu take a break from his talks at there. Kudos to them for arriving at a reasoned decision.
Poor Sraddhalu, the institutions of the world have failed him and now he will have to find another way to bring his dreams into life.
