Dear All:

Those of you following my Twitter Account will be aware Siddhanta Foundation abandoned the project and left me with 1.5 month of No Salary + Unpaid Staff Dues.

I dont personally care – as this is my Burning Passion to empower and democratize Indian Knowledge Systems. I only saw them as a helping hand

So whereas I am frantically looking for my next International Job and have paid part of Sept Salaries by a small Loan from HDFC + Loan from a Friend/ Long Time Supporter.

I still have 3 Lakh + in Dues to pay. If anyone has in the past benefitted from our work and has dispensable income for this Noble Work, then my Personal PayTM is attached above and below.

I would have liked to use the Trust QR Code but there are so many formalities I need to do like Address Change/reKYC/then the QR code paper-work and given the urgency I hope Patrons will understand.

The Usual Methods:

Paypal for International Patrons:

The Story in Short with Siddhanta Foundation is:

The Group saw some Major Donation Possibilities with my endeavor. They agreed to take over all expenses plus a stipend for me.

But as I kept breaking records after records – they oblivious to either the extent (5.5 Lak/pages in a Month !!) or the major rarities we were materializing – the Question they kept throwing at me – why are we not reaping any monetary benefits from this ?

I asked them to mobilize there dozen odd idler team and several attempts to even create a Dashboard Page for there web-site failed cos the team is mostly analog antiques and digital skills beyond whatsapp and google are unknown.

They strictly operate like Govt Offices – files move/emails move then they come back and they travel around there is lots of movements all rigorously documented but no work and the actual achievement is the Movement. and they are great achievers in this respect.

So in six months a Web-Site couldn’t be created by their pathetic Team – sycophants and idlers – fleecing there Multi-Millionaire boss to lead a peaceful meditative life Govt. Office Style.

Specifically why I had to leave:

When I had first been asked to take the Lead under Siddhanta I had of my own will broached the subject of my Personal Acquisitions of Indological Digital Data of over 13 years and also that I would love to let them have a copy.

This was a act of Supreme Generosity – all my well-wishers had advised me against it. I was told I should not even mention it – and now I know I was never proven more wrong.

But as always – since I view things from a Missionary perspective – and I have not denied my Data to any Serious Scholar or Institution in the Past and everything I have is with a lot of other people. I still broached the subject.

I did good on my promise when there Synology Server was brought to Delhi. 2 HDs I couldn’t transfer due to a format Issue which the Server Vendor also affirmed is not compatible.

This remaining transfer I asked them to give me two Hard drives and as always it took Siddhanta two months to arrange that.

August Salaries were due – I asked them to transfer salaries and expenses for staff and then last my Stipend.

I was told that until the Data is not handed completely they will not release payments.

This was outrageous and downright humiliating.
I spent 3 Crore Rs+ in 11 odd years to create that Data. This doesn’t include the labor I have lovingly put into it – just salary and expenses.

It is all mostly online + acquisitions from other scholars who I meet in exotic places/events like World Skt. Conference/Bkk and who exchange data with me generously largely because of my solid credentials. I offer you on a silver platter – the data is half transferred. There is may be 1 more week left yet you stipulate such a humilating condition.

I told them very clearly that Data is mine – now since instead of requesting me you twist my arm I refuse you my Present.

They said then no salary or staff expenses.

I offered there penny-pincher Foundation my Dues as a Present and walked away and now with no savings because anything I save will always be usurped by my penchant for eternal preservation I am in this conundrum.

For the Second Time my UPI/PayTM is below for your most kind patronage.
