Baba
Dangerous slogan
Namaskar,
We must not forget that when Baba founded AMPS then all were allowed to join AMPS as human beings, after leaving their clan membership and religious dogmas outside. We never called out, "All Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Christians, Harijans, Buddhists, and Jains are invited." Rather, in Ananda Marga we raised the slogan, "All humans are one!" - "Manav manav ek hai!"
https://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com/
But you might have heard nowadays how people have taken to using these following jingles / slogans:
- Slogan #1: "Irrespective of one's group affiliation, all are invited."
- Slogan #2: "Representatives of all the groups are allowed."
- Slogan #3: "All groups are invited."
- Slogan #4: "Margiis of every group are welcomed but only Wts of my group are allowed" etc.
Why this fad - "all groups are invited" - is so dangerous
In Ananda Marga we raised the slogan, "All humans are one!" In contrast, the idea of recognising and appreciating all the groups is very nasty and dangerous. Long back, in the previous century, the British exploiters infused this divisive ploy of communalism to destroy the unity of India. By giving fuel to the various groups (Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, scheduled caste, scheduled tribe etc), they created severe distrust and disunity in human society. And verily throughout their colonies around the globe, the Britishers used this same 'divide and rule' policy to chop humanity into numerous groups, castes, factions, creed etc to exploit and destroy.
Unfortunately in AMPS this same approach is gaining popularity nowadays. This notion - "all the groups are allowed" - is poisonous like a venomous snake. Whatever unity we have nowadays will be destroyed and more division and balkanisation will occur if this disastrous trend - "all groups are invited" - is continued and supported.
We must not forget that when Baba founded AMPS then He never permitted those advocating clan distinctions and religious dogmas etc to enter into AMPS. Rather, all were allowed to join AMPS as human beings, after leaving their clan membership and religious dogmas outside. We never called out, "All Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Christians, Harijans, Buddhists, and Jains are invited." Rather, in Ananda Marga we raised the slogan, "All humans are one!" - "Manav manav ek hai!"
Here below we further investigate why this slogan - "All groups are welcomed" - is so dangerous and deadly.

Against NH: some Wts represent themselves as group members
With respect to our AMPS, some Wts strongly identified themselves as members of a particular group. And they argued and fought for representation in Centre based on their group initiative and membership. Yet all the while they put on the sheen that they were living in a united AMPS. From the outside, the organisation was undivided.
It is an exact replica of what happened in India pre-1947 when the Britishers injected the communal award. That time also India was undivided, yet was suffering from severe infighting along communal lines. Then on that fateful eve in 1947, all the internal pressure imploded and mass unrest, killings, and division occurred. Likewise, since 1990, the various groups within Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha have openly fought with and killed one another, and ultimately they split AMPS into multiple parts. Just as India was divided into multiple parts in 1947.
Sadly, the scene in AMPS exactly mirrors the communal climate during the Indian Independence movement and the division thereafter. The end result has been ongoing struggle and strife in our AMPS with a premium placed on group interest. We must not forget that when Baba founded AMPS then all were allowed to join AMPS as human beings, after leaving their clan membership and religious dogmas outside. We never called out, "All Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Christians, Harijans, Buddhists, and Jains are invited." Rather, in Ananda Marga we raised the slogan, "All humans are one!"
Slogan "All humans are one!"
Today, when various Wts arrive on-site at an open, public gathering like an Ananda Marga ceremony, as members of a particular group, then the whole atmosphere becomes noxious. It resembles communal India. It authors more hatred and clan sentiment.
https://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com/
Baba has completely rejected this approach: Groups should not exist. No Wt should identify themselves in this way. Just as there never should have been a communal award in India, but rather a concerted, unified effort against exploitation. Similarly, in AMPS Wts must not hang on to their own group identity; that should be obliterated.
And verily, Baba has given the perfect antidote for overcoming the narrow-minded mentality associated with groupism. We must not forget that when Baba founded AMPS then all were allowed to join AMPS as human beings, after leaving their clan membership and religious dogmas outside. We never called out, "All Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Christians, Harijans, Buddhists, and Jains are invited." Rather, in Ananda Marga we raised the slogan, "All humans are one!"
For true unity
Baba’s teaching is to remain united by fighting against injustice and carrying out an anti-exploitation movement. Then true unity can be built in Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha. Holding onto group affiliation breeds distrust, resentment, and hatred.
What should be done? The practical approach for overcoming this problem is to only allow those Wts attend who adhere to the code of neo-humanism and universalism. That means one should condemn all forms of exploitation and groupism.
Those Wts who stand up against the exploitation of bhukti pradhans, and oppose the so-called mahaprayan, and rise up against all forms of exploitation etc are to be embraced. Those who remain stuck to their own group or clan interest must first rectify themselves before being welcomed on-site. This should be the norm for every Ananda Marga function.

Fake wts agents of groupism
Some are confused and think that inviting all the Wts groups shows their large-heartedness. But this is completely bogus and will never bring unity. That is encouraging small-mindedness: “Join a group, any group, and you are welcome at our gathering.” Such persons are sponsoring group sentiment, i.e. the communal award.
Baba’s guideline is that there must not be any groupism. Inviting all the groups to a marriage or a baby-naming ceremony etc is not the right approach. The standard must be set that those who wish to attend and participate in AMPS functions should adhere to ideological principles.

"Sa'garebela'y gun'e baluka'y cale gelo mor..." (Prabhat Samgiita #4607)
Purport:
There is one place that is called “darkland” (asuryá). It is so dark that even the sun cannot shine there. If anybody goes there they will not even be able to see their own hand. Another name of that land is the 7th hell, the darkest land. Those who lead a life based on materialism, and fail to do sadhana, end up there. That place is so dark, in whatever direction you look, it seems that only more and more darkness is oozing out from that place. Those who get human life but follow materialism meet such a fate. They are so degenerated that they commit unjust acts to justify those. This is all due to the darkness in their mind.
O’ Parama Purusa, my entire day has passed on the shore by the sea counting the tiny grains of sand. I see now that the deep, dark night descends. You did not care to look at me. You did not forbid me from passing my time like this, nor did You tear me from the snares and bondages of my mundane attachments. Parama Purusa, I have spent my life submerged in petty gains and material indulgences and You did not prohibit me or dissuade me from these worldly allurements.
O’ my Lord, You are so gracious, You gave me immense wealth and blessed me with the intelligence to destroy my petty ego. You are so gracious, You gave me sufficient strength to serve the suffering and help those in need, even then my conscience did not awaken. Although You gave everything but because my mind did not develop in a spiritual manner, I have spent all my time counting the grains of sand. I could not ultise the strength which You have given me. And instead I just wasted my time sunk in my own selfish, petty desires.
O’ my Dearmost, now in the depths of this darkness, I roam this desolate beach in search of You. By Your grace, I am no longer interested in the oysters or the sand. My Lord, when will that resplendent, spiritual dawn arrive where I get that very Divine Entity to whom I belong. Parama Purusa, I belong to You, I want only You.
O’ my Divine Entity Baba, my whole life has passed - wasted in vain - collecting material, worldly achievements. At the end of the day, by Your grace, I realise that I should no longer waste my time. Baba, I want You and only You, the eternal and most loving One...
Note for Prabhat Samgiita #4607:
[#1] The first stanza does not refer to a physical place but a layer of the mind.
Ananda Marga philosophy states, “The seventh hell is rasátala, the very crudest of all stages of existence. Obviously in that state human beings are no longer human beings: their minds, their intellects are reduced to extreme crudity, a stage of no return.” (1)
[#2] Baba has introduced this song with an ancient vedic shloka. He has done this with a small number of songs in His Prabhat Samgiita collection and on some occasions the singers sing the shloka as well. Here is the shloka presented before Prabhat Samgita #4607.
Asu'rya'h na'ma te loka'h andhena tamasa'vrta'h;
Ta'm'ste pretya'bhigacchanti ye ke ca'tmahano jana'h
This shloka has also been explained in some of His discourses as well.
Ananda Marga philosophy states, "A person who is moving away from Parama Purus'a is heading towards total annihilation, towards mahatii vinas't'i." (2)
The meaning or sense is that there is one hell or layer of darkness in the human mind, and if one gets stuck there they cannot understand the spiritual realm. Instead they think that mundane things are great. Such was the predicament of the bhakta in the above Prabhat Samgiita, until finally, by Baba's grace, the sadhaka's mind emerged from that darkness and longed for Him.

Moralists always face prosecution from the wicked
Ananda Marga philosophy states, “It was considered nothing short of blasphemy to translate the religious scriptures from Saḿskrta into Bengali. The Nabab Hussein Shah personally tried to develop the Bengali language. With his active support Krttivása Ojah translated the Ramayana, Káshii Ram Dash translated the Mahabharata and Máladhra Vasu translated the Bhágavata from Saḿskrta to Bengali. This caused a furore among the community of scholars. They tried to brand Hussein Shah as a saboteur of the Hindu religion because, according to them, to translate the holy scriptures into Bengali was to defile the Hindu religion. Máládhra Vasu had to bear the stigma of being a Moslem convert and was widely ridiculed as Guńaranjiṋa Khan. So incensed were the Saḿskrta scholars over the translations of Krttivása Ojah that he was declared an outcaste for committing an act of sacrilege. All this took place only 450 years ago.” (1)

प्रभात संगीत 4140 के संबंध में टिप्पणीः-
1. करुणाः- . शाब्दिक रूपमें करुणा का अर्थ है दिव्य कृपालुता। जब भक्त को साधना के मार्ग में आगे बढ़ते हुए कठिनाइयाॅं और समस्याओं से जूझना पड़ता है तो परमपुरुष को भी उसके कष्ट की अनुभूति होती है। भक्त जब अपने रास्ते में आने वाले बंधनों और अवरोधों को दूर करने का बार बार प्रयत्न करता है और अपने आध्यात्मिक जीवन में आगे नहीं बढ़ पा रहा होता है तो उनसे अपने भक्त की यह असहायता नहीं देखी जाती और वे विशेष कृपा कर उसके कष्टों और कठिनाईयों को दूर कर देते है। इस विशेष कृपा को उनकी करुणा कहते हैं, इसके प्राप्त हो जाने पर फिर साधना के रास्ते में कोई बाधा नहीं आती।
2. अलखनिरंजनः- अलख का अर्थ है ‘जो दिखाई नहीं देता‘, निर का अर्थ है ‘नहीं‘ और अंजन का अर्थ है कालांबिंदु। परम पुरुष के अनेक लक्षणों में से एक यह है कि वे दिखाई नहीं देते और निष्कलंक हैं अर्थात् पूर्णतः
‘‘शुद्ध और परिपूर्ण‘‘। इस संसार के जीव अपने पिछले जन्मों के संस्कारों से बंधे होते हैं जो उनके मनों पर लगे कालिख की तरह होते हैं परंतु परमपुरुष संस्कारों के बंधन में नहीं बंधते हैं वे निष्कलंक और अदृश्य
रहते हैं अतः उन्हें अलखनिरंजन कहते हैं।
3. भ्रान्तिविमोचनः- अर्थात् सभी प्रकार के भ्रमों / संदेहों को दूर करने वाले। परमपुरुष का यह एक नाम है। वे अपने भक्तों पर कृपा कर उसके सभी संदेहों और अज्ञानता को दूर कर देते हैं। वास्तव में अविद्या माया के
प्रभाव से भक्तगण सही को गलत और गलत को सही समझने लगते हैं और गलत धारणायें अपना कर भावजड़ता या डोगमा में पड़ जाते हैं और क्षणभंगुर चीजों को स्थायी मानने लगते हैं। परमपुरुष अपनी कृपा कर भक्त के सभी संदेह और भावजड़ता को दूर कर वास्तविकता से परिचित करा देते हैं, और भक्त कल्याण के पथ पर आगे बढ़ने लगता है। इसी लिये वे भ्रान्तिविमोचन कहलाते हैं।

Pakistan-India Kashmir crisis
Pakistan-India Kashmir crisis
Prout philosophy states, “While PROUT advocates that all people have the right to settle anywhere in the universe, it may be questioned whether the Chinese infiltration of Tibet can be supported on this ground. The reply is definitely “no” because this is an intentional infiltration – it is an expansionist move.”
“Similarly should one support Nepalese expansion in the eastern states of Sikkim and Bhutan? If we trace back through history we find that the Nepalese migrated from Nepal because of famine and for no other reason. Hence, this migration should not be criticized. However, recently a few persons have started a “Maha Nepal” movement. The propagandists of Maha Nepal are neither the friends of Nepal nor of India. The reaction to this movement will go against the interests of Nepalese settlers. By using the same logic as these protagonists India may also claim the Bhojpuri, Maithili and Bengali speaking areas of Nepal Terai. But such a situation would certainly be undesirable.”
“The case of the Jews who expanded into Palestine is similar. Palestine originally belonged to the Jews and the Arabs drove them out.”
“Likewise, the Pakistan infiltration into India cannot be treated as a justified move. The planned way in which this infiltration is going on indicates that it is motivated by expansionism.” (1)
