Mirambika Crisis – Vatika and Ravindra Agarwal’s Reiz work together
Here are a few screenshots of website pages of the commercially interested defenders of the Pickles Dallas Gloat plan to marginalize Mirambika and set up an engineering college in its place. Vatika and Reiz (part owned by Ravindra Agarwal, the SAES appointed leader of those gullible parents who have been conned into intervening against the petitioner parents) have a working partnership! However, in order to appear innocent, the Bijliwala is alleged to have commented that Divya Bhalla is so close to the Ashram Management that she can’t be let into discussions concerning how to restore Mirambika to its rightful place and also that Rahul Batra can only be PJ’s cheerleader because he prostrates at TD’s feet – just as AIADMK leaders do before Jayalalitha – in gratitude for the admission of his younger daughter in Mirambika in breach of the DOE norms .
Would the conscience of gullible parents who have been conned into intervening against the petitioner parents stir up now? Would they still continue to follow the Bijliwala?

Mirambika Crisis – Oriya Consciousness – Fakir Mohan Senapati’s novel Chha Mana Atha Guntha, or Six Acres and a Third
As the land obsessed PJ, the new age Mangaraj, forgets the SAES’s objectives and the teachings of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother, it is time to remind our dear Oriya brothers & sisters that blind faith in the pretentious followers of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother will not lead to any gain for them or their progeny.
Luckily, the great Oriya writer Senapati’s novel Chha Mana Atha Guntha, or Six Acres and a Third tells us a similar story set in colonial Indian society during the early decades of the 19th century. It tells a tale of wealth and greed, of property and theft. It is the story of an evil landlord, Ramachandra Mangaraj, who exploits poor peasants and uses the legal system to appropriate the property of others. Toward the end of Mangaraj’s story, he is punished by the law and the “Judge Sahib” orders that his “zamindari,” be taken away. It is sold to a lawyer, who — as rumor in the village has it — “will come with ten palanquins followed by five horses and two hundred foot-soldiers” to take possession of Mangaraj’s “zamindari”. The ordinary villagers react to this news by reminding one another of an old saying: “O horse, what difference does it make to you if you are stolen by a thief? You do not get much to eat here; you will not get much to eat there. No matter who becomes the next master, we will remain his slaves. We must look after our own interests.”
So, dear Oriya brother & sisters, listen to your conscience and rise against your good faith being exploited by those who do not represent Sri Aurobindo or the Mother or are ignoring their teachings. In Court and outside, they have repeatedly admitted their obsession with possessing the Mirambika School land by hook or crook and they will now use your names & signatures to justify the slow but sure demise of Mirambika to set up a technical / engineering college in its place. They have used innocent Oriya Diyas to convince you that that college will be for Oriya students but that’s a blatant lie. No engineering college can pick and admit students by choice. It has to be open for all Indians alike so don’t be conned into supporting a sin against Mirambika, which indeed represents the vision & blessing of the Mother. Don’t let Mangaraj pass on his ill gotten “zamindari” to his real estate jackal friends while you say “Mate ekutiya chadi diyantu!
Mirambika Crisis – full swing construction of Maqbara e’ Mirambika is on
In an attempt to somehow keep alive his pipedream of establishing & running an engineering college from the Mirambika Building (which is subject to the 6th May 2015 status quo order of the Delhi High Court), under the disguise of ‘roof repair’, PJ aka Shahzada has ordered full steam construction atop and around the Matri Commercial Store, UCO Bank and MIS uniform & book store bang along the Sarvodaya – Begumpur Road.
Mirambika crisis – decoding the ‘majority’ supporting the Management’s offences
Here’s a brief description of various constituents of the motley crowd gathered by the Management to support its case before the Court:
Parents Sans Conscience – Striving to preserve and increase their benefits from the Ashram, SAES and the proposed technical college, they don’t give a damn to Mirambika or its children or to law, ethics or morals. Unless they withdraw from supporting the Management’s 14/4 actions, etc, each of these parents will be exposed in the Court.
Diyas – Selfless lovable unpaid tapasvees, most from very poor corners of Odisha, completely dependent on the Ashram for food, water & shelter, though some of them have been given the impression that they are a part of the Management, they have no choice or say in the matter. For the Diyas, Mirambika is their only child so when someone threatens to suffocate it unless they support the Management, they just sign any paper. They also know that if they say or choose anything that the Management does not like, they’ll be victimized till they vanish like Rajesh Bhaiyya.
Parent Diyas – These are parents who volunteer to help at the School. They are handpicked by the Management and they sing and dance to its tunes. If they have no children studying in the School, they should refrain from meddling in its affairs by signing letters etc in support of the Management.
Ignorant Parents – They were induced to sign a letter or two prepared by M/s Me2, Endee, Achlysi, Sirpuny, Toilet Seat Terrier, Cloudini & others on the basis that the same would be used to support Jayanthy Didi and the School in case the DOE talks of derecognising the School. These parents now find the Management using their letters in Court for exactly the opposite purpose i.e., justifying the illegal shift and relocation of Mirambika into an illegal premises. As of yesterday, three such parents have publicly disassociated themselves from the foregoing exercise.
EWS Parents – Threatened, bullied and blackmailed into signing in favor of SAES by Eggroll & Gang. Innocents caught in the crossfire, they fear that their children would suffer if they do not support the Management. Some quietly shifted their children to MIS on the Management’s command and in exchange gave letters supporting the Management’s 14/4 actions, etc.
Hocus Pocus Parents – Some parents who have moved their children to MIS or are in the process of shifting their children to MIS, Vasant Valley or some other school have also signed up to support the Management’s 14/4 actions, etc. These hocus pocus parents have no locus in the matter and should withdraw from participating in Mirambika matter.

Mirambika Building – quoting from A History of Architecture by Sir Bannister Fletcher
It is said that the the Mirambika Building is based on the Mother’s yantra and she blessed it for the purpose of integral education of children. May be, the fact that it is being disturbed to be used for another purpose is inviting the negativity that besets us all today. Hope those controlling and managing SAES think about the foregoing and take corrective action before such negativity completely destroys 30 plus years of work by so many selfless people. This may well be an opportune time to read the following from ‘A History of Architecture’ by Sir Bannister Fletcher
“The building was conceived as a place to hold an innovative program of education, research, training, and scholarship. Mirambika is a ‘free progress’ school where the stress is on child-centric value-oriented education. There is a very light curriculum that is customized to each child, no strong subject divides, no mainstream examination or testing – instead, there is continuous and ongoing feedback and evaluation.
The spaces were designed to be organic, amorphous, and such that the boundary between inside space and outside space would vanish. This reflected the spirit of the organization – breaking of all barriers, actualizing the self and achieving excellence through consulting the inner consciousness.

The building is planned as a space filling modular grid on a basic structural dimension of 7.2 m, with concrete ribs subdividing the slab into eight or four equal panels. Though they are very few, walls can be shifted to any of these locations on the ribs, and and the floor which is made under them will need to be ground, while the electrical services in the ceiling are redundantly arranged so that they can just drop down according to flexible arrangements of the spaces below. Water based services (sinks, toilets, water play areas) are placed in defined, relatively inflexible, locations. Even the planning was done in parts by a participatory process so that after the basic modular structure the infill walls and windows were indeterminate.
The building is furnished with white terrazzo and china mosaic roofs, extensive courtyards and vegetation for cooling and ventilation, and integrated solar hot water.
The design team was apprehensive that the type of building detailed – almost like a verandah, with few walls, therefore open to dust – might prove a liability due to heat and dust, but as it turns out, the dust-free environment of the Ashram around has allowed this building to actually be comfortable in all seasons.
This project is considered a pioneering interpretation of learning space representing an evolution towards openness and acceptance of the natural environment, and is mentioned in the twentieth edition of one of the main reference works in architectural history.”

May God save the Mirambika Building – a true labor of love – for the purpose that Mother pronounced i.e., integral education of children.
