"We were all very shocked..." a 1980 witness

She writes:
«I don't agree with these ‘just meditate and let the Paramchaitanya look after everything’ statements. 
I remember in 1980s in UK , 
we used to go to the airport to welcome Mother or see her off. On one such occasion the leader’s wife brought a huge object on the trolley to present it to Mother. The object was covered with a cloth so no one could see what it was. It was supposed to be a surprise. Can you imagine doing something like this at the airport? 
So a security guy declared an emergency and went after Mother, shouting and screaming at Her. 
Only one yogi tried to protect Her and was wrestled to the ground. 
Mother turned to walk quickly away to get her plane and the security man pushed her violently. 
I saw the leader and his ‘deputy’ on the scene being very detached and talking and laughing during this incident, and Sir CP shake the hand of the security guy as not to cause a controversy. 
In the car on the way back from the airport a senior yogini asked the leader what they should have done during the incident. ‘We should have all bowed down,’ he said. She was puzzled, and then said ‘oh I see, and then the security guards would have tripped over us.’ I did not know if I should laugh or cry at such statements. 
We were all very shocked and many yogis tried to organise a serious protest against the airport authority of a racist attack, but the leader refused to allow it and accused us of being negative. 
When Mother got to India it was found that her spine had been injured, and that She was very unhappy about everything that had happened. She was very, very angry with the English. The leader was changed and she said we should have formed a cordon around her to protect her, and Mother told us to write letters to the airport authority to accuse them of racist attack. 
Can you imagine the negativity behind the whole thing?
The negativity is not to be compromised with. 
Many of us in the later years of Mothers declining health used to think that it was all a Maya and Mother will become well again and sort everybody out. 
The biggest Maya of all was that what many regarded as Maya was the grim reality of Our Holy Mothers last painful years and the turning of Sajaja Yoga into an outward show. 
This is something that as Mothers' children we can't forgive and forget. 
Do you think that Shri Ganesha or Shri Jesus have forgiven and forgotten? 
When I see the people who were close to Mother at the time in charge of Sahaja Yoga now I wonder what is going to become of them and of us all.
