MPD obsolete
Namaskar,
All
feel that Parama Purusa Baba is eternally along with them - residing in
their heart. This is the way of each and every Ananda Margii and indeed
this is the way of bhakti.
So
by His infinite cosmic grace all are moving along on His blissful path,
keeping Him close. In this era of materialism He has blessed each
bhakta with the divine gift of spirituality: The feeling that He is
always along with you.

Mahaprayan: ruins spiritual life
So
if anyone thinks, “Mahasamabhuti has left this earth on a particular
day”, and imposes this idea again and again on the mind, then their
spiritual outlook will be adversely affected. It will be extremely
detrimental. So one must not emphasize and reinforce this point of
physically leaving, and that means not observing mahaprayan. Then the
positive and deeply spiritual feeling that, "God - Parama Purusa - is
always with me", will be easily established.
Those
who pay heed to the dogma of mahaprayan get lost in the notion that
Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji is gone. That is the very serious
reaction of so-called mahaprayan. The program of mahaprayan literally
implies that He is gone. So those who participate and observe it suffer
spiritually.
Not compare Him with ordinary mortal human being
Every
Margii knows that Parama Purusa takes the special form as Mahasambhuti.
By that way - by His grace - we have come in contact with Him. And that
form of Mahasambhuti is the manifestation of Sadguru. And that form
still continues to have a deeply significant role in our day to day
life, each and every moment. Every sadhaka who practices Guru sakash,
Guru puja, and dhyana understands this fact.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com
Because
for us, for Ananda Margiis, Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji is our Guru. And
in our lives we feel His grace. In order to have a link with His bhaktas
and teach His philosophy, Parama Purusa came in physical form. And when
He felt there was no longer any need to continue to maintain the
physical form, then He just maintains His internal link with each and
every sadhaka through His ota yoga. So He is eternally residing along
with us.
He
is the Divine Eternal Entity who is ever-present in the mind and heart -
eternally showering the blessing of His varabhaya mudra. So His
auspicious advent is exclusively His special grace, and we should not
compare Him with the likes of an ordinary mortal human being. The form
of Mahasambhuti should not be compared with an ordinary human body.
Those who are doing like this have missed the boat of spirituality -
just they are caught in their own dogma.
For
all these reasons, we cannot accept that the form is gone. Because we
see Him in that divine form always. We relate our entire existence with
Him with the help of that very form. And with that form we visualize Him
in our mind.
In
that way, we do dhyana and sadhana of that form. So the form of Taraka
Brahma is very significant for every sadhaka. And that form remains the
source of all inspiration. And by the help of that very form, doing
dhyana of that very form, one day by His grace the bhakta will become
one with Him - Parama Purusa.
Bhaktas & God: cannot keep away from one another
If anyone thinks that He has left, it means they are comparing that Magnanimous Personality with an ordinary human being.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com
The
top idea is that bhaktas and God cannot keep distance from one another.
Without Him, bhaktas will die. So neither God can leave His bhaktas,
nor can bhaktas leave their Lord. Then how He can go. He cannot. By His
divine grace He lives in the bhakta's heart.
Sadly,
those inventors of mahaprayan dogma really think that their Lord is
just one ordinary mortal. Yet every true bhakta knows that His presence
is beyond time, space, and person. In this life and in future and always
and up till eternity He is remaining along with us. Then how He can go.
Those who have realised that Taraka Brahma has taken advent, know that He is surely not one human being. He is still present.
Following MPD dogma = life of contradiction
Those
stuck in this dogma of MPD live a life of contradiction. On the one
hand they may sometimes think that Baba is with them and that He will
help them solve their problems etc. Sometimes they are thinking in this
proper and positive direction. But in order to clutch onto their
mahaprayan dogma, the next moment they start thinking that Shrii Shrii
Anandamurtiji is an ordinary mortal who has gone away.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com
If
they will always think that Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji is that eternal
Divine Entity, then they will see and understand their mistake and
realise that He is not gone but is there inside the heart. And that He
remains all the time in Vrindaban, of the bhaktas mind-Guru Cakra.
"Vrnda'vanam parityajya pa'damekam na gaccha'mi..." (PS 4425)
"I
am always eternally present in Vrindavan, in the hearts of devotees.
That is the Guru cakra. I do not go even a little away from that. I am
eternally present along with the devotees."
So Baba is residing in the heart - that is where He remains.
"Dura't sudure tadiha'ntike ca..."
Ananda
Marga ideology states, "Only the one who looks into the inner most
recesses of oneself can realise the Supreme Entity.... the bhaktas or
devotees say, 'He is near, so near that the distance is immeasurable.'
Those who have eyes to see, see that Parama Purus'a is in the core of
their hearts; He is within the very existence of each and every entity,
so there is no necessity of moving about in search of Him. He resides
within the very "I- feeling" of everyone." (1)
Namaskar,
at His lotus feet,
Shivashankar Banerjee
Must not confine Him to a particular place
Vyapitvaî ca nirákrtaî bhagavato yattiirthayátrádiná
"The
Supreme Being is omnipresent, all-pervading and witness to everything,
everywhere. It is not proper to confine Him to a particular place and
say that He has eaten butter at this place or taken a dip in the Ganges
at that particular place, thus limiting Him to a particular region or a
particular country or the glorification of a particular sacred place,
and thereby limit His all-pervasiveness" (2)
Mahaprayan has no legs to stand on
Unfortunately,
mahaprayan is just an attempt to gain power and money by establishing
Tiljala as a tiirtha site. So the program of so-called mahaprayan does
not have any logical legs to stand upon. It is just the creation of some
to make a so-called holy land by holding an annual death ceremony on
their campus, and turn it into a long-term money-making event.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com
Those
organisers of mahaprayan do not understand or believe in the greatness
of Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji and do not believe that He is Taraka
Brahma. The only reason for this seems to be that they could not receive
the grace of the Lord.
The
contradiction is that: On the one side they are celebrating His
presence by doing Guru sakash, dhyana, japa, Guru puja, and raising the
Jai slogan, etc, and the next moment they are professing about the dogma
of MPD and telling that He is gone.
Sadly,
those inventors of mahaprayan dogma really seem to think that their
Lord is just one ordinary mortal. Yet every true bhakta knows that His
presence is beyond time, space, and person. In this life and in future
and always and up till eternity He is remaining along with us. Then how
He can go.
Future of mahaprayan obsolete
The
dogmatic appendix of mahaprayan should be removed from Caryacarya - 1.
Most are clear that this mahaprayan is just a dogma. So soon this
mahaprayan function will be obsolete like those dinosaurs.

Mocked by bad people
Please pay particular attention to the highlighted yellow section.
Ananda
Marga philosophy states, "Each individual has to keep physically and
mentally pure and serve the society in the best possible manner. The
collective psychic momenta of all the members of society makes the
collective momentum of the social order strong and powerful. Hence, as
an individual, one must be able to manifest and express a powerful
psychic momentum. Society must not impose any restriction on the psychic and spiritual elevation of its members,
nor should it allow anyone to accumulate physical wealth to the point
that it is harmful to the other members of society and leads to
exploitation.” (1)
Ananda
Marga philosophy states, “Caryacarya contains the guidelines for how an
individual can best contribute his or her efforts to the collective
momentum. It also provides guidelines for how the collective body shall
foster each individual’s physical and psychic welfare." (2)
In
His above teaching, Baba is talking about both the development of the
individual and the society. The citation concludes with this key
guideline highlighted in yellow.
Ananda Marga philosophy states, "Society must not impose any restriction on the psychic and spiritual elevation of its members." (3)
Unfortunately,
this above tenet is not always followed in our AMPS society. Those who
are sincere in sadhana and Sixteen Points are often ridiculed. Some Wts
are especially bent on mocking and speaking sarcastically about any
junior worker who is committed to their sadhana. Actually what happens
is that margiis are attracted to those acaryas who do more sadhana.
Seeing this, big, supervisory workers became extremely jealous. So they
do everything in their power to derail that sincere Wts from the path of
sadhana. They bully and mock that worker endlessly. And verily, some
wts have buckled under such pressure - sadly they became completely
broken. This is the very tragic state of affairs that has been in vogue
since 1990. Many have suffered. How ironic is it that ours is a
socio-spiritual organisation, yet if one is really sincere in their
asana, conduct rules, night sadhana, spiritual practices etc they are
mocked by certain top Dadas. The whole situation is shameful.
