Allegations about Isha - Part 8 - Conclusion & My take

Part 7 of the series is here: http://kazhugupaarvai.blogspot.in/2017/02/allegations-about-isha-part-7-who-is.html

[Disclaimer: I am not associated with Isha Foundation. All the information below is available in public domain. Will add more references and images soon.]

I have been tracking the allegations against Isha Foundation in the recent times to find what the truth is. However, there is a spike in the negative comments recently! What are all these allegations about Isha starting afresh? Some of these are not even new! Just saw some posts today from popular magazines. This is why I started this blog, to dig out the truths and post them. Read my earlier posts to know more...


Trend analysis of these allegations

  -- If you have noted anything in Indian politics in recent times, we all know that opposition parties will always raise ruckus when the in-power government tries to do some good.
  -- These groups raising noise against Isha Foundation are just like that. They seem to do this whenever Isha starts something big.
  -- Check the trends of such attacks for yourself! They have always happened before some major event conducted by Isha.


Conclusion - What is my take for now?

Isha Foundation is not a 100% clean organization - no one in the world is. Between White and Black, there are several shades. But for an organization run by volunteers exclusively, they have done a phenomenal social work so far. Let's point out the faults, but with proper facts and give them an opportunity to correct it.

The intention of these groups is to keep defaming Isha. But I think what they are doing is providing free publicity. Hope they realize this soon. In the mean time, general public should use their own intelligence instead of getting swayed by such people, especially appealing emotionally.
