Baba
Report: inner truth about AM in Brazil
Namaskar
Recently, a report has been floating around how there is complete unity and harmony in Brazil. So we can best understand the situation, here is an eye-witness report about what is going on there and what are the motivating factors. First, however, is a quick overview of Sadguru Baba’s teachings on unity.
AM philosophy states, “Human unity is purely an ideological unity, which means unity in the psychic sphere.” (1)
By the above, it is clear that unity can only occur in the absence of any form of groupism. That means one must be beyond all narrow-mindedness and embrace the tenets of universalism, whereby one adheres to a strict moral code of conduct based on the tenets of yama and niyama and neo-humanism. So unity is not just the gathering of a crowd at a sporting event or airport, nor is it a black pact made behind closed doors. Rather, it is a high ideal that one must aspire towards. Now let’s get to our eye-witness report on the happenings in Brazil.

Eye-witness report: Fake show of unity
Local margiis say there is no such thing as unity in Brazil. The so-called political board is no doubt equally populated between males and females, and the different groups of AM pose as being unified, but that is not the case. Essentially, there are tumultuous waters beneath the surface.
The reason why the board is mixed is not because of good will and cooperation, but rather because they cannot tolerate or trust each other, and they all want to grab the biggest piece of the pie. Moreover, there is a distinct lack of motivation to work together; every group has their own separate agenda. The main thing is that jealousy and mistrust cause them to think that if they turn their back then the other group will grab it all. So their portrayal is basically a facade to outwardly show to the world that AM works the best in Brazil, but that is all just a superficial display. If anyone takes a deeper dive, they will quickly see that their so-called unity is non-existent.

Power seats in Brazil
The president of AM in Brazil - i.e. Nirainjan - is a rich man who has power and influence only because of his money. Indeed, Niranjan himself has his own private jet. How is that Proutistic or ecological for a spiritual aspirant to have their own private jet, while so many living in the favelas (ghettos) of Sao Paulo do not even have clean water to drink. The fact is that Nirainjan is a close friend of Dada Haripranananda, who himself is known as a political figure. So Niranjan and Dada Haripranananda are in it to increase their own post and power. That is the motivation behind their pact.
At present, there are three SS Dadas in Brazil and they are all strategically vying for maximum power just like a horserace. In that case, who can claim there is unity and cooperation.
All about money
It is well known that Dada Haripranananda and so many other Wts in Brazil are solely there for the money. The so-called neohumanistic schools are just a front for private business enterprises. For instance, Dada Jinanananda is the richest Wt in Brazil; he is deeply involved in making money. And such Dadas bring in massive profits from these schools. These schools are not for the children but for the bank accounts of these Wts.

Finally, as you know, Brazil is a very religious and sectarian country that has a giant economy with over 200,000,000 inhabitants. In that case, there is a lot of money at play since the populace is accustomed to donating to religious groups. Thus, the current AM is just existing as another sect to garner a maximum amount of donations. So they are talking to the locals and painting a grand picture for the sole purpose of drawing in maximum financial backing.
Conclusion
Sadly, the situation of AM in Brazil is the same as AM in other countries as they are just fighting for (a) power, (b) influence, and, most important of all, (c) money. No one should get led into believing that there is perfect harmony and unity in Brazil. Sadly, there is a big battle going on between the various groups.
To establish unity, one must make an honest evaluation of themselves and ensure their motives are grounded in spiritual morality and their conduct is in accordance with Sixteen Points. The attainment of social harmony and unity is a holistic approach of building an outlook free from the dogma of selfishness and rallying around the dharmic teachings of AM ideology.
In Him,
Omprakash

Ananda Marga ideology states, "Every entity of the world is the limited manifestation of the one Cosmic Consciousness. Whom will you fight against, or whom will you flee from? You are undecaying, immortal and birthless. When you are established in your own true self, none of the belligerent unit entities can stand against you, nor can your mind be disturbed by their limited forms. Such an all-embracing Cosmic Sentiment cannot be inculcated in others by sub-human individuals with narrow views." (2)
Note 1: Useful idiots
One of Stalin’s great ploys was to invite western journalists to communist Russia whereby he would arrange for them to get a very glorious tour of the cities and countryside to show them that communism in Russia was like heaven on earth. Thereafter, the journalists would return to their home countries and write fantastic stories about the greatness of the Russian communist state. Stalin would refer to such journalists as his “useful idiots”. The point being that Stalin gave these gullible journalists a bogus and manufactured view of Russia in order to befool them so they would spread his propaganda around the globe. All the while, beneath the surface, the Stalin regime was torturing and killing millions, but he kept all that out of sight from those journalists who continued to do his bidding. That is why Stalin would refer to those journalists as “useful idiots”.

It seems the same ploy was used on brother Pashupati of North Carolina, USA. Pashupati went down to Brazil, and he was given a tour and explanation of AM in Brazil, and he believed it completely. And when he returned back to the US he wrote a very glowing review of AM in Brazil, despite the fact that the various factions of AM in Brazil are embroiled in terrible squabbles and plans to oust each other. In that case, how is this any different from Stalin’s useful idiots.
