I was at the event at New Jersey. This person put the flag near her feet to get blessing for his country. She told the authority to remove it before that someone click the photo and start distributing on Internet. I was think Alex blog is smart blog but I was wrong. We should use our discretion when we upload these pictures in the blog without putting the full side of story.Shame on you Alex. I lost trust in your blog.Maria

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi - Divine Mother, The "Guru" of Sahaja Yoga, Godwoman,
The one who tramples the national flag (sic)
Like Maggi Noodles, Instant Karma is available 'for sale' today and the peddlers and/or their followers are so haughty/illiterate/ignorant/callous that they cant see beyond their shadows.
I am a shamed 'Indian' today. This is a sad day.
SHAMEFUL PICTURES OF THE NATIONAL FLAG SERVING TIME AS THE FOOTMAT OF A 'GODMOTHER'
All those 'apparently' educated people who lie prostate at the feet of such 'divine mothers and fathers', shame on you.
One of them can be seen here ... There are thousands of others.
Think about it!!

Maria,
I have put your comments on the blog as well.
I dont know what the trust is .. but I have placed both points-of-view up there.
correction: truth (instead of trust)
Our Deepest Respect to our National Flag
We Sahaja Yogis have the highest and deepest respect for our National Flag, which is the symbol of our National Freedom. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi participated actively in the Quit India Movement. Her father Shri P K Salve was imprisoned by the British because he participated actively in Mahatma Gandhiji’s Freedom movement. It is inconceivable that any member of Shri Mataji’s family would tolerate even the slightest disrespect to our National Flag.
Possibly, at an Independence Day function held abroad, some foreigner Sahaja Yogi brought our Flag and without meaning any disrespect, kept it on the ground. The Flag was respectfully removed immediately on being noticed.
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi asks us all to respect National Flags of all countries.
This unintended but serious mistake is greatly regretted. Not even the slightest disrespect to our National Flag will ever be tolerated.
To all those whose feelings have been hurt by this wholly unintended and unfortunate error, we express the assurance that we fully share their anguish and we extend our deeply felt and sincerest regrets and unqualified apologies.
