Sahaja Yoga successor organisations / Vishwa Nirmala Dharma (post-Nirmala Srivastava)

Sahaja Yoga was founded in 1970 in Nargol, India by Nirmala Srivastava (1923-2011), known to followers as 'Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi' ('Holy Mother'). Srivastava taught a distinctive form of kundalini-awakening through her own grace, with herself identified as the incarnation of the 'Adi Shakti' (primordial feminine divinity). The primary Sahaja Yoga entry already in this dataset (sahaja-yoga-nirmala-devi) covers the Srivastava-era foundation, the global expansion, the documented coercive-control patterns including the residential ashrams in Cabella Ligure (Italy), Vaitarna (India), and Dharamshala (India), and the Sahaja Yoga international schools controversies.

This entry covers the post-2011 successor period. After Srivastava's 23 February 2011 death at age 87 in Cabella Ligure, leadership of the global Sahaja Yoga organisation passed to a family-led Vishwa Nirmala Dharma trust headed by Srivastava's daughters and grandchildren. Multiple post-2011 developments include: (1) Vishwa Nirmala Dharma trust governance disputes: documented internal disagreement about Srivastava's true succession wishes; (2) continued residential operations at Cabella Ligure, Vaitarna, and Dharamshala with documented continuation of coercive-control patterns; (3) Srivastava-veneration intensification: post-death veneration of Srivastava as 'Adi Shakti' has if anything intensified, with members reporting continued visions and instructions from her; (4) splinter groups: multiple smaller successor organisations have emerged from members dissatisfied with the family-trust governance; (5) Sahaja Yoga schools in India and elsewhere continue to operate; documented complaints about the schools' coercive-residential character continue.

Documented coercive-control patterns continue from the Srivastava era: (a) total worldview replacement around Srivastava-as-Adi-Shakti doctrine; (b) severance from non-Sahaja-Yoga family in committed members; (c) financial extraction via 'sankalp' donations; (d) residential ashram coercion including documented restricted contact with outside; (e) marriage matching within the organisation; (f) the schools-controversies producing ongoing documented child-coercion concerns.

The CLCI 23 (High, lower-range) reflects the documented continuation of Srivastava-era coercive-control patterns under successor governance, the residential ashram operations, and the schools controversies. Primary entry sahaja-yoga-nirmala-devi covers full historical detail.
