Dear Premies,

I am writing this letter to explain to you that Vijay Kumar Sumar, formerly known as "Mahatma Vijayanand," has shown his incapability to be able to function in this mission and thus I hereby declare him no more a mahatma of this mission.

After having had repeated opportunities to improve his understanding and thereby be able to continue in serving as a mahatma under my agya, his own actions have dismissed any possibility of him being able to serve in my agya at this time.

I hope this will clear any confusions that have been caused by him for anyone because of his situation.

All premies should understand that following my agya in a life of satsang, service and meditation is of most importance.

Blessings to all the premies.

Guru Maharaj Ji
