Dear brothers and sisters,
We are happy to announce the launch of the Shri Mataji Photo Preservation Project.
Managed by a voluntary, international team of Sahaja Yogis with the appropriate skills and qualifications, the aim of the project is to collect all the photos of Shri Mataji in a single archive, to make digital copies so that they are conserved and protected for future generations and to catalogue them for easy reference.
A small office has been set up in Cabella and the necessary equipment has been purchased. We are now ready to request Sahaja Yogis from all over the world to contribute any photos of Shri Mataji in their possession that they feel are worthy of the archive. Whether you bring a print, a negative, a slide or an electronic file, we will make a copy with the utmost care and return the originals to you.
Most of us are photographers ourselves and we recognise that our personal photos of Shri Mataji are like priceless jewels. But we also know how important it is to share these precious moments in time, not only with our brothers and sisters now, but also with the whole of humanity in the future. Please help, and persuade your friends, especially the older Sahaja Yogis in your collective, to help as well. The success of the project depends of the good will and collaboration of everyone.
You can mail your photos to:
Shri Mataji Photo Preservation Project
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Sahaja Yoga World Foundation
Via Martiri della Libertà 11
15060 Cabella Ligure (AL)
Italy
or you can hand deliver them to the World Foundation stand at one of the four upcoming pujas in Cabella.
Do you want to get more involved?
We are looking for volunteers who might want to come and stay in Cabella, between now and October, and be trained to do the job of scanning the originals. It’s a simple job which requires no prior experience, just the deep understanding of the value of Mother’s beautiful images. The Foundation will offer board and lodging. If you are interested please write to photoarchive@sahajaworldfoundation.org.
With love,
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi Sahaja Yoga World Foundation |
