See the Sin of PP Dadaji

SEE THE SIN OF PP DADAJI

Note: This letter is not for those who do not have reverence for Guru, Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji.

Namaskar,
Recently one incident took place that undermines the most foundational point of tantra - the status of Guru.

As every disciple knows, in our Ananda Marga only Brahma is the Guru.

3-9. Brahmaeva gururekah náparah.
[Only Brahma is the guru, no one else.]

Purport: Brahma alone is the guru. Brahma alone directs the units to the path of emancipation through the media of different receptacles or bodies. No one except Brahma conforms to the real significance of the word “guru”. (Ananda Sutram)

And here again we can understand that Brahma has come in the name and form of Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji.

"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." (CC-2, Sadhana, pt #1a)

So Baba is the Guru and we are all His disciples, including PP dada. Thus all must have reverence for Guru.

PP DADA IS SITTING HIGHER

Yet at the recent Jamalpur DMS 2014, one grave sin was done - here is what occurred: Purodha Pramukha, i.e. Dada Vishvadevananda, appeared on stage at the DMS sitting on an elevated seat that was higher than Guru's place. PP Dada was veritably blocking the photo of Rev Baba. The image is above for your review.

By placing PP Dada's seat hight than Sadguru Baba's place they are not just violating a social code but committing sin. To cast PP Dada or any human being on a pedestal higher than Guru is mahapapa - terrible sin.

Yet that is what occurred at the 2014 Jamalpur DMS: PP Dada's seat was higher than Baba's place.

Those involved are sinners and hypocrites. They pose as being great sadhakas wholly devoted to Guru, yet their actions and dealing tell otherwise. Raising the status of PP dada above that of Guru reveals their mindset and true colours. No true devotee could ever do like this.

So first such central dadas are committing sin and then sending this above photo out on their mailing list.

SEE BELOW THE IDEAL WAY OF DISPLAYING BABA'S PHOTO

Below is a very good way to display Baba's photo - see what margii devotees in one Ananda Marga unit have done.

Above is a very good way to display Baba's photo - see what margii devotees in one Ananda Marga unit have done. In the above gathering, look how there is one avadhuta seated. At DMS PP Dada should be sitting in a similar way. Or regardless of where PP Dada sits, Revered Baba's photo must be 5 feet above the seat of PP Dada. Baba's photo must not be below the seat of PP Dada as happened at the summer DMS 2014 at Ananda Nagar, as in the first photo of this email.

The central idea is that at our Marga gatherings Saguru Baba's photo must be, at  minimum, 5 feet above the seat of PP Dada.

So while this will serve as as guideline for DMS, the below is an ideal and optimal way to set up every jagrti and kiirtan hall etc.

SOLUTION:

PRESERVING SANCTITY OF GURU'S PHOTO

As we know, in our dharmacakra halls and jagrtis etc, Guru's photo must be prominently displayed at all times - with due reverence and regard. Best then is to have two photos on display - one lower (around 4 feet off ground), and one higher (around 7 feet off the ground.)

If everyone is sitting in sadhana or Guru Puja then both photos should be displayed. Because everyone is low to the ground and no one will block or disrespect Guru's image.

And if someone is standing or giving a talk, or if akhanda kiirtan is being done, then the lower photo, which is only four feet off the ground, should either be turned around or covered by a small curtain. That way those standing will not block or hover over Guru's photo. At the same time, the higher photo - which is around 7 feet above the ground - will be in full view of all. Those standing will have no chance of blocking that photo. Thus the sanctity of Guru's photo will be maintained and the devotional environment preserved.

THEY ARE COMMITTING SIN

So first such central dadas are committing sin and then sending the PP photo out on their mailing list.

REVERENCE FOR GURU

"Trtiiyaḿ gurupújanam. I must have reverence for the guru. What is the guru? Gu means “darkness”, that is, darkness in the psycho-spiritual sphere. And ru means “dispelling agent”. That is, he who dispels darkness from my psychic and spiritual body is the guru. Gu means “darkness”, ru means “dispeller”. “Trtiiyaḿ gurupújanam. That is, you must have respect for the guru." (AV-12, Shiva's Seven Secrets)

Thus every sadhaka must cultivate great reverence for Guru, by His grace. That is the requisite quality of every disciple.

BEST SEAT IS ALWAYS RESERVED FOR THE MOST RESPECTED

So these Dadas have contravened a basic, fundamental rule that even ordinary citizens follow. At any gathering, the best seat is always reserved for the most respected person. At conventions, the president gets the best seat; at forums, the invited speaker gets the best seat; at weddings, a special place is reserved for the bride and groom. But, this basic ethic the Jamalpur DMS organisers could not follow.
