MPD against spirituality

Namaskar,

Ananda Marga ideology says, “Dúrát sudúre tadihántike ca”. Dúra means long distance and sudúra means very very long distance. Sometimes you may think that your sound and your expressions may not but audible or visible to Him. If you think like this then all your efforts, all your acoustic expressions or all sorts of mental endeavour will be of no avail. Because when you think that He is at a long distance, He is not at a long distance but He is at a longer distance. If you think that He is not near you, He is at a long distance, then actually He is at a longer distance. If you think that He is near, then He is not only near, He is more near. He is much closer than you can ever imagine. Those who have developed their inner vision will realize that Parama Puruśa is within one’s self. When He is within you own “I” feeling, why then do you wander or roam here and there to know Him, to find Him, like a King who has all the riches with him but goes out begging from door to door? (1)

#1: What we think about or remember again and again stays in the mind. For example, if one is disciplined in their sadhana practice then they will effortlessly know how to do all their lessons, whereas if one is half-hearted in sadhana then they will forget their third lesson mantra - or even all their mantras. That is what happens. Those things just become a faint memory.

#2: We should cultivate positive remembrances. If we remember that Baba is with us - if this is our main ideation in life - then that sweet reality will be permanently part of our mental structure. That idea will always be in our heart.


Negatively affected by thinking: Baba is gone

#3: Whereas if one goes to so-called mahaprayan and spends 10 days thinking again and again about the cremation, this type of negative memory will destroy one's inner link with Him. And not just during those ten days but before and after the trip, for weeks and months, one will be absorbed in this defective approach. Until finally one will not be able to rid that defective idea from the mind. Such is the effect of the so-called mahaprayan program. No sadhaka should let such a catastrophe befall them. Nor should we suggest others to fall into this misery either.

Indeed the very idea of so-called mahaprayan is sinful when its main effect is to cause the mind to degenerate in such a stark manner. Let us concentrate our energies in alerting those who are unaware about the dangers and dogmas associated with so-called mahaprayan.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com

#4: Our margii brothers and sisters who attend so-called mahaprayan inevitably suffer the drawbacks and pessimism associated with this dogmatic function. And it takes the other 11 months of the year for them to regain their balance - only to again go to so-called mahaprayan and again be adversely affected by thinking that Baba is gone. This is the negative cycle of attending the dogmatic mahaprayan program. We should help them break this cycle.

How MPD is antithetical to spirituality

#5: In our Ananda Marga everything is blissful:

"A'nanda'ddhyeva....a'nandam' prayantyabhisam'vishanti."

Ananda Marga philosophy says, "This universe has emanated from the Supreme Bliss or Ánandam; it is being maintained in Ánandam, and will finally dissolve in Ánandam." (2)

In Ananda Marga everything Is blissful. Thus where is there scope to indulge in sad ceremonies like the dogmatic mahaprayan program. This outrightly goes against the spirit of our Marga.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com

#6: The positive idea in Ananda Marga teachings is that 'Baba is with me' and this brings courage, dynamism, and spiritedness. With that idea in mind, the bhakta feels that they can do anything and everything.


Baba is with all

Here is Baba's divine reminder that He is always with us. And this sweet teaching is the most advantageous thing to remember in this vast universe.

   Ananda Marga ideology says, "Parama Purus'a, that Supreme Father, is with each and every entity. No man, no expression, is ever alone in this world. He is always with you. Science says this, philosophy says this. And under no circumstances should a man suffer from a complex of helplessness or hopelessness or fear. You are the dignified children of Parama Purus'a, and He is always with you."
   "He is with the universe, that is, the entire universe is His object. And not only that, He is with each and every expressed unit entity, with each and every individual also. That is, collectively He is attached to the world, to that expressed world; and singularly He is with you. You are never alone."
   "...Parama Purus´a, the Supreme Father, is always with you and you are never alone...
   "And the main advantage is - the advantage is a very great advantage, and that is - you are never alone. And because He is with you, you are the strongest person in the universe. He is with you. You are never alone. It is the greatest advantage." (3)

Thus no one should suffer and fall into the dark abyss of so-called mahaprayan and get lost in the faulty notion that Baba has left. No one should impose that false memory on their mental plate again and again. This tragedy should not happen to anyone.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com


Bhaktas are misled

Yet unconsciously, unbeknownst to the attendee of so-called mahaprayan, this happens. It is just like if one visits a bar then they invariably have at least one drink, even if they are not a drinker per se; similarly, if anyone goes to Tiljala to participate in the dogmatic mahaprayan program, then in at least one corner of their mind they are bound to think that 'Baba is gone'. Such is the negative effect of participating in so-called mahaprayan.

Thus, those types of dogmatic remembrances such as so-called mahaprayan, which go against the spirit of Ananda Marga, should be discarded - eliminated. Such occasions only push the mind in the opposite direction. Moreover, the construction of a Baba memorial is also wholly defective and against Ananda Marga ideology because such a memorial, by definition, portrays Baba as a mortal human being, not the Eternal Guru.

Most of those attending so-called mahaprayan are well-intentioned sadhakas who were goaded by certain organisers to attend. So they are good bhaktas who were simply misled. We should help bring them into awareness about the negative message and effect of so-called mahaprayan. They are our brothers and sisters and we should patiently help them.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com


Conclusion

Those attending so-called mahaprayan knowingly or unknowingly cultivate the idea in mind that Baba is gone. Because the whole nature of the so-called mahaprayan program is based on an inherently faulty concept - that my Lord is gone forever. So in either the front or back of their mind, those attending the so-called mahaprayan program are involved in a serious dilemma that ultimately pushes Parama Purusa far away, i.e. completely gone, from their mental plate.

So that is the tragedy at hand. All are our brothers and sisters and it is the bounden duty of every Ananda Margii to help others progress on the path towards Him. Let us all try and help guide those few who fell into dogma.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com

Remember, Sadguru Baba is the Eternal Entity who is with us always, and the dogmatic mahaprayan program is akin to having a death ceremony for someone who is still alive. 

Namaskar,
At His feet,

Why so-called mahaprayan

Mahaprayan means death. The term then can only be applied to jiivas, unit beings, and never to Parama Purusa Baba. He is eternal and timeless. He never leaves His bhaktas. He is the permanent shelter of all. That is why it is completely wrong, illogical, and inappropriate to use the term mahaprayan in association with Him. Yet that is the "name" of the program that is held each year in Tiljala. Since Baba is the Parama Purusa who exists across time and space and always resides in the heart of each and every bhakta, rational sadhakas refer to this program as so-called mahaprayan. The term so-called indicates that that thing is fake or wrong. And indeed this program is fake or dogmatic - as Parama Purusa never dies- hence so-called mahaprayan.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com

Ananda Marga Caryacarya says, "The one formless, beginningless and infinite Parama Brahma (Supreme Consciousness) is the only entity to be attained by living beings – That alone is Jagat Guru (the Supreme preceptor), That alone has revealed Brahmavidyá (intuitional science) to us through the medium of the name and form of Anandamúrtijii. Unit beings must be made to appreciate Its majesty." (4)

For Ananda Margiis the most desirable idea in this universe is that 'Baba is with me'. So this idea should be inculcated again and again. A bhakta's thinking should be: 'Baba is watching me, He cares for me, and He loves me...' For Ananda Margiis this is our routine remembrance. From morning till night, all our practices and thoughts revolve around this pinnacled idea - that He is with me.

Whereas the fake or so-called mahaprayan program enforces the false or negative notion that Baba has left this earth and is no longer with me. That is why at so-called mahaprayan it is regularly seen that people are distraught and crying. Their mind gets confused as they recall that day in Oct 1990. Such ideas race through the mind. So many sadhakas have experienced this.

Here are more points on this key topic. Namely, why the so-called mahaprayan program is ultravarious to Ananda Marga ideology and against the sentiment of bhakti with Ista (Baba).
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com


Only 12-day period of mourning - not annual death day program

Baba lovingly teaches us never to engage the mind in any pessimistic thoughts. That is why Baba forbids us from celebrating the death of any worldly family member - year after year. There is no annual death ceremony in our AM way of life. Rather Baba has granted a 12-day period of mourning to show respect and that is all.

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, “The period of mourning should not extend beyond twelve days. If you wish, you can perform the shráddha ceremony any day within this period according to convenience.”

Baba has written that such death day occasions should not be celebrated year after year as this bring sadness and pessimism in the mind. Rather He has concluded our shraddha ceremony with the sweet idea, "Let everybody be happy...let everybody see the bright side...". This is the blessing He has given.

But tragically, the dogmatic and sorrowful so-called mahaprayan program is being observed year after year, going against the spiritual and social tenets of our Ananda Marga. Some innocent and well-intentioned margiis attend - this letter is meant to help bring them onto the right path.

WT conduct rules: glory 

WT conduct rule states: "We are all the children of the same Father, we are all the members of the same family. By fighting against all kinds of evil forces, we will establish the glory of our Father and the glory of our family." (1)

Note: A few bad Wts and their stooge margiis are going astray from this fundamental rule by spreading the poison of groupism and creating division throughout our AMPS and the greater society - all of which is against the ethic of neo-humanism. This is all happening due to greed, lust of power, desire for prestige etc. Unfortunately, such persons are still walking around in WT garb and continuing to harm His mission. Such is the effect of their divisive ways. They have destroyed the sanctity and unity of the family. Now is the time for ideologically-minded margiis and Wts to rally and rectify such workers, thereby building a monolithic AMPS.

Note 2: Those who are sincere margiis adhere to this above cited rule since the spirit of this conduct rule is common to one and all because neo-humanism is for all.

AM’s stand on gay life

More and more in the west the gay movement is rampant. That is why this following teaching is very important. There is no room for confusion about the stand of Ananda Marga on this issue. 

Ananda Marga ideology states, "Love and passion are mutually antagonistic tendencies. The attachment for a finite thing is an expression of extroverted energy, whereas the attraction for the Infinite is an expression of the introverted energy. That is why these two can never co-exist. Therefore the aspirant has to skillfully to transform passion into love." (1)

Ananda Marga is the path of introversial movement towards the Supreme Entity; it is not the path of sensuality and lust. These two opposites cannot co-exist. They are mutually exclusive. Either one may goad their mind towards Parama Purusa, or they may indulge in animal propensities. There is no scope to do both. 

That is why there is no option for leading a gay / homosexual lifestyle in Ananda Marga teachings. Because a gay lifestyle is based on the baser propensities - sex for sex sake. Every dedicated Ananda Margii will easily grasp this point - it is just a matter of simple mathematics. Whereas, it is far more difficult for those goaded by those lower propensities to understand. That is why it is said that until the mind reaches a particular level, one cannot assimilate the teachings of Ananda Marga ideology. Ananda Marga is for standard human beings not those with an animal mind and a human body.

USA: small kids killing kids

  Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Today the cinema seems to be very popular with people of all ages. As a result film technology will gradually rise to ever-greater heights of technical excellence. The opportunity provided by the cinema to establish good relations with people can be very well utilized for educational purposes.”
   “Seduced by the bestial instincts hidden in the secret recesses of their minds, people surrender to base propensities. But improvements in education and the social environment can help to bring this beast under control and make it obey their commands. To achieve this the first thing people have to do is to wage war against their animal propensities, which is no easy task. So cunning exploiters, by encouraging animality, are able to bring people under their sway.”
   “The cinema industry suffers from this malady. This industry is controlled by a handful of business persons who make films according to popular taste and demand. While ordinary people naturally run after those films which in their ideas, language or visual images cater to their base propensities, such ideas, language or images instantly distort the ideals of the idealist beyond recognition. It is quite in character for purely commercial film producers to exploit these human weaknesses to their own advantage, and this is exactly what is happening.” (1)

US is top in school killings by other kids

Typically, a country experiences a lot of violence during a civil war or in a failed state. The case of the US it is very different. Even during times of peace, per capita, the greatest number of crimes occur in the US on a daily basis. Children are also not spared. This is the curse of capitalism and wealth. 

Due to violent video games and gruesome movies, even small kids in the US are becoming more cruel. See the below article. An 8-year-old boy was harshly bullied and killed by other students in the school. The solution is that there should be restrictions on the production and distribution on violent movies and video games. Just as contraband and drugs are prohibited, in the same way no one should be allowed to watch these films. At the same time, the feeling of universal fraternity should be inculcated and taught from one’s childhood. Then they will look upon the next person as their family member. All human beings are the progeny of the same Cosmic Father. Without this teaching this problem cannot be solved. 


Ohio 8-year-old boy was killed by classmates

~ Courtesy of NBC News ~

“The homicide detective, which was shared with The Associated Press, describes what he saw in the surveillance video. The detective said it appeared that the "primary agitator" hit one child in the stomach, sending him to the floor on hands and knees. The 8-year-old then approached the aggressor and tried to shake his hand but was pulled to the floor, the detective wrote.

The aggressor "appears to celebrate and rejoice in his behavior as (the boy) lay motionless. For many minutes, many students step over, point, mock, nudge, kick" the boy, the email said.” (NBC news)

Unique way to cure deafness

Note: If one deaf person arouses the devotional feeling to listen to Sadguru’s discourses and spiritual teachings and meditates on eitehr of His two mudrás (janusparsaha and varabhaya) then the deafness will be cured.

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “If a deaf man sincerely wants to hear what the Sadguru is saying, the positive microvita radiated through these two mudrás are sure to help him – they will certainly help him...

.. raising positive microvita from the lunar plexus to the occult plexus is called “krpá”. And raising them from the lunar plexus to the pinnacled point of human glory is called “karuńá”. Without krpá there cannot be karuńá, there cannot be any galloping jump. Raising negative microvita above the psycho-physical plexus is “rusti” or “risti”. You should always try to avoid rusti and always try to receive the glamour of krpá or karuńá.” (1)

Sad state: Wts & rakhi dogma + 3 more

Baba

Sad state: Wts & rakhi dogma 

Namaskar,

Sadguru Baba's dharmic proclamation is "dogma no more, dogma no more." Thus when we see any dogma taking root in our Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha then we must be vigilant to yank it out. Around this time, some of our Didis make their plans for participating in the dogmatic Hindu ritual named raksha bandhan, or simply rakhi.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com

Yet this ritual radically undermines the status of females and reinforces male domination. It is completely against the dharmic codes of Ananda Marga ideology. So we must take swift steps to derail raksha bandhan dogma.

How the dogmatic raksha bandhan is observed

Many outside Delhi sector may not be familiar with the Hindu dogma of raksha bandhan. So here is a very brief description. Each year on or around the occasion of Shravanii Purnima, females tie a special string or bracelet - known as  a rakhi - around the wrist of a male they trust. By this way, such females are acknowledging their own weakness and requesting that particular male to protect and guard them.

Sadly, this annual dogmatic ritual reinforces the inferiority complex that females harbour. All know that in India the rights of females are limited - there is a long history of female exploitation and male domination. So a ritual like raksha bandhan, where females surrender to their male protectorate, only further undermines the status of women. Yet sadly, some Didis are still participating in this dogma. They are selecting various Dadas with whom they wish to tie a rakhi. And apparently they have been doing this the last few years, so already this dogma is taking root. Yet, prior to 1990, no one dared do such a thing.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com

And verily, Baba's guideline is that everyone on this earth - male or female - should stand tall. And He delivers a staunch warning never to bow down at the altar of dogma and pseudo-culture like raksha bandhan.

Ananda Marga philosophy states, "If one’s spine is shattered, it is impossible to hold one’s head erect. Can those whose necks and backs are crushed under the weight of pseudo-culture, be expected to hold their heads high in any sphere of life? Hence it is the bounden duty of every rational person to save innocent people from pseudo-culture." (1)

Organised female humiliation ritual

Yet, by participating in rakhi, year after year, innocent females are cementing the idea in their mind that they are unable to stand up for themselves. Females are surrendering to male superiority, and this begins at a very young age. This raksha bandhan ritual is the epitome of pseudo-culture - it is wholly irrational, illogical, and debilitating.

Our Didis are supposed to pave the pathway for smashing such cultural dogmas like raksha bandhan. But instead, they themselves are participating in this ceremony of female submission. This runs completely counter to the spirit of tantra and what it means to be a wholetimer Didi. Such Didis are literally ruining themselves and throwing society back into the stone ages by accepting this raksha bandhan ritual.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com

The raksha bandhan dogma violates our AM way of life entirely and crosses the line of humiliation and degradation. For any sister to senselessly surrender at the altar of male domination year after year does not amount to protecting and advancing the female cause. Rather it undermines the very stature of women.

So raksha bandhan is a degrading and humiliating ritual. No one should think that it carries any spirit of welfare. Nor is it just one innocent gesture or cute game etc. Rather, it is a veritable poison for society.

Naive girls are duped

One part of the raksha dogma not mentioned above is that after the girl ties a rakhi on the male's wrist - and they may do this with many males - then those males give that girl a gift - in cash or kind. So some females think that, "This is great I will be getting some money." But the real result is that they are selling their soul and losing their humanity by subjecting themselves in this way. Doing this for money is not good.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com

Now is the time to step forward and end this dogma of raksha bandhan. And the first move is that our respected Didis must refrain from supporting and participating in this dogma. So we hope those didis who plan on participating in raksha bandhan this year reconsider their decision.

Lastly, this dogma is not a one-sided affair, no Wt Dada or margii brother should accept a rakhi from any Didi / sister - not under any circumstances.

More points against the rakhi dogma

(a) Males are physically stronger, and females are inherently weaker on the physical plane. So we should not turn this natural disparity into a business relation whereby only if you tie a rakhi will males protect you. Rather males should always help and defend females because it is their duty.

(b) In Caryacarya, Sadguru Baba has enlisted the festivals that are celebrated in Ananda Marga. And raksha bandhan is not listed there. It is wrong to add this dogmatic affair of raksha bandhan to our dharmic and neo-humanistic selection of Ananda Marga festivals.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com

(c) By creating a women's militia, Sadguru Baba gave the silent message that females are not inferior or subservient. Yet raksha bandhan goes against this ethic and infuses the dogma that females are dependent upon males.

Dogma: "We women too weak to stand up for ourselves"

Some may naively question, "What is wrong with tying a rakhi - it is an innocent thing to do." But those who know better understand what a dangerous dogma this is. And to best understand it one must put themselves in their shoes. For instance, if you ask any male in India if they want to tie a rakhi around the wrist of a female and accept that female as their protectorate, they will balk at the offer. No male will subjugate themselves in this way. It would be absolutely humiliating - they would become the laughingstock of the town.

So from afar it may look innocent, but if you ask someone else to do this they will not like to accept this lowly and demoralizing position. The message is basically, "We women are too weak to defend or stand up for ourselves, so we surrender to males for our protection and we bind ourselves to them by tying a rakhi. In the mundane plane we do not trust the women’s militia created by Baba. We think women are weak so those women's militias cannot protect us. Instead we are surrendering to our male counterparts to protect us. That is why we tied a raksha bandhan - thread of security - onto a male’s wrist." No rational person would accept such subjugation.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com

I would like to request the supporters of this dogma to open their eyes. Baba has given equal status to males and females. We should not allow anyone to impose this degrading mindset and belittling attitude upon our young girls.

Namaskar,
in Him,
Radhika’ Singh

Such didis should reconsider their plans

For raksha bandhan certain didis once again have specific plans to submit themselves to male domination by participating in the raksha bandhan dogma. Already these below didis are involved in planning and identifying which brother(s) they will tie with rakhis. However their names have not been placed here below as they have ample scope to change their mind and rectify their dealing - i.e. not participate in this raksha bandhan or rakhi ritual.

(1) Avadhutika  …. Acarya
(2) Avadhutika  …. Acarya
(3) Avadhutika  …. Acarya
(4) Avadhutika  …. Acarya
(5) Avadhutika  …. Acarya
(6) Avadhutika  …. Acarya

And there are many more - and we will release their names if those other Didis fail to give up this ritualistic dogma.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com

Parents even call their daughters as "son"

To further understand the plight of females, some parents even call their daughters "beta" which means "son." They do this because the term for daughter - "beti" - has been so badly stigmatized. The term "beti" (daughter) itself has become lowly. Such is the inherent condition of females in India. Thus to support or participate in the Hindu dogma of raksha bandhan that perpetuates male domination is unacceptable. Rather staunch efforts must be made to empower women.

Mindset of atheist

Ananda Marga ideology guides us, "Self-awareness develops through clash. The awareness that develops through physical clash is termed jadábuddhi [crude physical intellect] because it is associated with jadá [matter]. The consciousness of animals and undeveloped human beings is matter-oriented. But even in developed human society, if someone is an atheist or a materialist, we can only term their intellect as jadábuddhi. Such people deny the existence of spirituality in order to hide their intellectual deficiencies. Their denial betrays their moral and intellectual bankruptcy. It does not speak of their glory, nor does it diminish the value of spirituality." (1)

Ananda Marga ideology says, "Devotion plays a positive role in the process of clash. Had there been no factor to maintain the balance among all the objects created within the Macrocosmic Mind, the entire structure of the universe would have fallen apart. For the sake of harmony and balance within the universe, there is a mutual attraction among all the objects; each microcosm attracts the other microcosms. All finite microcosms – the innumerable manifestations of the Supreme Entity – are entitled to that universal love with which It has bound each microcosm to Itself, entitled to the wave of that universal love, in which Its divine ocean of bliss is perennially flowing. Attraction is the innate characteristic of microcosms. When this attraction is for finite objects, it is called káma [“physical longing”], and when it surges towards the Cosmic Entity, it is called prema [“divine love”]. Of course, káma is nothing but a limited form of prema. When microcosms rush towards Parama Puruśa [Supreme Consciousness] attracted by the irresistible force of divine love, it is termed “devotion”. Since clash drives the microcosms towards subtlety, it follows that clash must be the sustainer of devotion." (2)

No place for private ownership

Prout philosophy states, “We must not forget, even for a single moment, that the entire animate world is a vast joint family. Nature has not assigned any portion of this property to any particular individual. Private ownership has been created by selfish opportunists, as the loopholes in this system provide them with ample scope for self-aggrandizement through exploitation. When the entire wealth of the universe is the common patrimony of all living beings, can the system in which some roll in luxury, while others, deprived of a morsel of food, shrivel up and starve to death bit by bit, be said to have the support of dharma?"

Human mind derailed into lowly dealings

Prout philosophy states, “In capitalism the rich, in their affluence, misuse the psychic urge and direct their psychic pabula to the pursuit of material gains. And the poor, in their extreme poverty, misdirect  their psychic urges and concentrate their psychic pabula on antisocial activities in their struggle for existence. In communism, the elite and party leaders misuse their psychic urges and direct their psychic pabula towards political manipulation and totalitarian repression. Under the oppression of communist rule the psychic pabula of the general people are suppressed into a state of doldrums. In both cases psychic urges are misutilised for sub-human activities in the physical, psycho-physical and psychic spheres. This must be stopped.” (1)

Note: In His above guideline, the Propounder of Prout philosophy is outlining the defects of both capitalism and communism. In capitalism, rich people direct their mental desire towards material wealth by cheating others. That is their misuse of their infinite human longing which should be used for spiritual pursuits.

Due to capitalist exploitation the general public is reduced to beggars and they survive by involving in anti-social activities like drug dealing, gang warfare, white collar crime, underground trade, human  trafficking and so many other nasty things and vices. Initially they start those vices due to lack of the basic minimal requirements to live and gradually those vices consume them. In result, they misuse their infinite human longing which should be used for spiritual pursuits.=

Up till their death

Communist leaders misuse their infinite desire to ruthlessly control and exploit the masses. Those leaders aim to become ministers and dictators where they will remain in the post up till their death. In communism, the leaders never want to give up the post. That is how they misuse their infinite human longing which should be used for spiritual pursuits.

Due to communist exploitation the common people are reduced to rubble. They are harassed, exploited, and suppressed, and have no scope to develop their free thinking or expression.  Everything is manipulated by communist propaganda and in turn human beings become animals. And the common people also misuse their desire infinite human longing for gross material pleasures when that longing should be goaded towards the Supreme.

Due to these defectives systems those at the helm degrade themselves and the common people are exploited terribly. So these two systems should be discarded.

Now I request AMPS leaders to stop eating off of the same plate as those communists as their bosom friend - thinking such communists to be saviour of universe. Unfortunately, some Prout leaders think communism and Prout are the same thing. That is why the Prout movement is not growing. The general public has well understood that communism is awful so if our Prout leader attach Prout with communism then the people will think that Prout is similar to communism. That is the sad plight taking place these days.
