Hello Everyone,

We hope you've been keeping safe, healthy and informed.

We're volunteers at Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan (DJJS).

About the Organization: Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan, established and run under the Mentorship of His Holiness Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji, is a registered socio-spiritual, not-for-profit organization. To realize DJJS's vision - From Self Awakening to Global Peace - we have chosen the grass-root level, to begin with. Currently, DJJS toils for the upliftment and empowerment of the most deprived, underserved and underprivileged strata of society. We envisage a world where compassion and empathy are the 'rule of thumb'. (Source: About DJJS)

Our Presence: With more than 350 branches all over the world, DJJS is headquartered in India and registered under The Societies Registration Act of 1860.

About His Holiness: Our Founder and Head, His Holiness Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji, is revered by millions of disciples and followers across the world. His Holiness is an epoch-making personality, a perfect Spiritual Master on the world stage who has mastered and subsequently revealed the eternal science of Self-Realization– Brahm Gyan to transform the torn and tormented humanity into a peaceful "global family". (Source: Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji)

Request to editors/administrators: We're reaching out to you as your platform Wikipedia is being maliciously used by miscreants for maligning information about His Holiness' divine and pious contributions to society. We found a page titled Ashutosh (Spiritual Leader) created by anti-social elements to spread falsehood and propagate misinformation about our revered Gurudev. This scam is deeply disturbing, offensive and unwarranted. The content posted on the page is nothing less than fake news and highlights the very opposite of truth and reality about His Holiness' noble deeds. Given Wikipedia is an open-source platform, we tried several times to rectify the details by editing the content. But the misinformation gang and opposing forces are reverting the changes. They're making use of editing feature to retain the old and incorrect version of the content. Hence making it literally not possible to sustain the fact-based truth. Request you to take down this page.

We have also enclosed a few of the well-researched resources and articles that are publicly available to prove the truth and showcase facts about His Holiness and DJJS's initiatives:

We want to help The Wikimedia Foundation towards its goal of hosting Wikipedia as a reliable source and protecting the values and policies that allow free knowledge to thrive. And, highlight once again the importance of bringing out the truth. The currently posted content lacks authenticity and integrity. It is defamatory to His Holiness - the divine teacher who has guided millions of people out of darkness and vices, has taken mankind towards light, and embedded humane values in society.

As the official administration of His registered organization, we would like to request you to take the page down . Millions of His followers are eagerly awaiting your cooperation and assistance in bringing facts before society and standing with the truth.

Please let us know if you need any additional information from the organization. Looking forward to your action towards enabling us in reflecting His Holiness Shri Ashutosh Maharaj Ji's correct and factual details on your platform.

Speedy keep: Bad faith nomination by a devotee of Ashutosh who does not like the current content of the article and has been temp blocked for edit warring there. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 11:53, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep. Clearly notable individual. Contrary to the questionable assertation that the article was created by "anti-social elements to spread falsehood and propagate misinformation", reliable sources in the article verify the details mentioned there. Edit-warring to change the "was" to "is" for a person who has been dead for nearly 10 years is preposterous. gobonobo ⁺ ^c 15:22, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
