A certain website "committed to objective, academic, respectful and honest discussions" recently published a letter by a certain Sreehari ("Raja") Marathe.
Marathe writes as though he was a member of the ashram but is actually a
"sannyasi" in the Osho movement and a devoted disciple of
Amritanandamayi Ma. He writes as though he knows everything about the
working of the Ashram Archives yet in fact knows virtually nothing about it. He writes as
though Heehs had accepted him as his spiritual guide, not to mention
psychiatrist....
When Marathe recently visited Pondicherry, he got so upset by Ranade's approach to conflict resolution (which includes, to the best of my knowledge, having civil and criminal court cases filed against him through proxies) that he tried to make me an accomplice to a retributive action of an even more objectionable nature (if that is possible).
The aforesaid website states that "All posts are copyright (c) their respective authors and may not be used outside this website without prior permission." It has nonetheless published my response to an email by Marathe without my prior permission:

Raja,
Being a registered user doesn't make you an editor. After consulting with the other editors, we feel that SCIY is not the appropriate place for your letter.
Best,
Ulrich

Hi Ulrich:
I have not figured out as to how to post entries https://www.sciy.org in the correct place (although I am a registered user!), hence I request you to publish this letter in its entirity at the site. Alternatively please send me links telling me how to do it.
Thanks and regards,
Raja
