WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS PHOTO

~ Part 2~

(Note: This is part two of this series a link to part 1 as been appended in the Links sections below.)

Namaskar,
As we all know, in our neo-humanistic system of education "of utmost importance is awakening the thirst for knowledge in the mind of the student. That means the classroom must be a medium for cultivating a sense of curiosity and inquisitiveness within the student learner. We can say this is one of primary objectives of Ananda Marga education."

So any book about our Ananda Marga system of education must reflect these values in all respects.

See the below book cover and examine the photo. Before reading this letter, note down the plus points and drawback of that book cover. When you have completed your list then read the letter. If you got all the points covered in this letter then you have a keen eye and passed this quiz with flying colours. If you missed certain points then go back and review. And if you have points on your list that were not covered in this letter, then please write in to educate others.

​

THE IMPORTANCE OF A PROPER COVER

The cover of a book creates a "first impression" so naturally any book about our neo-humanistic system of education must have a cover that represents those ideals.

So it is a great loss that this book has a cover that undermines the very purpose of writing such a text. Please consider the following points.

LACK ANY TYPE OF SCHOOLS SUPPLIES AND LEARNING MATERIALS

(1) Books and learning materials: Nowadays, education focuses on reading and writing as well as technology and other important aspects for preparing students for this ultra-modern world. So families select schools that have proper resources and funding for the student supplies. Unfortunately, on the cover of Dadaji’s book, many of students shown do not have any supplies or resources to use. There are two books for upwards of ten kids. It is a scant display. It makes seems like the students utterly lack any type of schools supplies and learning materials.

WILL BE DISSUADED FROM READING BY SEEING THIS PHOTO

(2) All in all, the entire scene is painful to look up. Young children have such a sincere desire to learn and follow, but clearly they are not getting any guidance. It reflects very poorly on the Ananda Marga education system. Furthermore, Dadaji is claiming that two of the sections of his book address “the art of teaching” and “child psychology.” Yet by seeing the photo, who can think that Dadaji is an expert in these areas. Who will want to read his book. Rather they will be dissuaded from reading by seeing this photo.

DADAJI IS INVOLVED IN HIS OWN READING

KIDS BECAME BORED AND DISTRACTED

(3) Dadaji is not guiding the student during the lesson: The cover ought to convey a positive image, yet the cover of this book shows how Dadaji is not engaging the students in any learning. The children want to learn but Dadaji is not guiding them. Instead he is involved in his own reading when really he should have planned ahead and prepared his lesson beforehand. Instead he is doing his class preparation now. In the meantime the kids became bored and distracted. Clearly they want to learn. But Dadaji himself is immersed in his book – he is not looking at the young learners – and all the kids are looking all around the room. They are not paying attention – period. They look distracted and disinterested. This entire scene paints a very bad picture of our Ananda Marga system of education. Because on the one hand our stated aim is to “awaken a thirst for knowledge” yet clearly this is not achieved in this classroom setting. The photo tells an entirely different story.

BOY LOOKS SCARED & FRUSTRATED

HE DOES NOT WANT TO BE NEAR DADAJI

(4) Dadaji’s relation with the student: Part and parcel of our Ananda Marga system of education is the great reverence and affection that students have towards their teacher. Yet in the photo the boy that Dadaji is holding onto clearly does not want to be near Dadaji. The boy looks scared, frustrated, and uncomfortable. And in that state of mind, how can a person learn. So although Dadaji is trying to make it look like he has a relationship of love and affection with his student, that is clearly not conveyed via this photo.

JUST A PHOTO-OP

(5) Just a photo op: It looks like this could be just a photo-op and Dadaji wanted to show how diligent and studious he is, but he forgot to guide the children. So they look lost and bewildered. So if really it was a photo-op this demonstrates that he was unable to teach or direct the children. Instead at the last moment he grabbed one small child to show how much love and affection he (Dadaji) has for the kids. But he clearly does not treat the children that way on a regular day-to-day basis because the child looks uncomfortable and startled by this display. All in all, this as a photo-op this was very poorly arranged. And if it was not a photo-op then the situation is even worse. Because it depict how this is situation normal for the kids, i.e. everyday they just sit around hoping to be taught but the guidance from Dadaji is utterly lacking. So in turn, those kids innocently look around not knowing what else to do.

(Note: Points 3 - 5 were presented in the first letter as well. For clarity's sake they were added here as well - Eds.)

NOT AN INDICTMENT AGAINST DADAJI

Here let me emphasize that Dadaji might be a really terrific educator and children might be learning a lot from him. So this letter is not an indictment against Dadaji.

THE BOOK COVER FAILS TO REPRESENT IDEALS & VALUES

All I will to convey is that our neo-humanistic system of education is unique and ranks far ahead of any other system of education. There are so many sterling aspects: schools, curriculum, student life, spiritual ideals, code of conduct, learning etc. There are numerous stellar qualities. Yet those are all blatantly undermined by the photo that sits directly on the cover of Dadaji book about our AM system of education.

The only practical approach is to change the cover, as well as thoroughly scour the book contents. Because when Dadaji was so care-free in selecting a cover for his book, it may be that the text itself is an injustice to our Ananda Marga system of education. These are the points of critical challenge that must be addresses with regards to Dadaji’s book.

Sadaguru Baba has delivered an ideal system of education for humanity. Our books and materials should be properly representative.

GURU’S GUIDELINES:

EDUCATION IS TRILATERAL DEVELOPMENT

Here are a few of Baba’s many guidelines:

[A] In our Ananda Marga system of education, we are to ensure the growth of the entire human personality – physical, psychic, and spiritual.

“The real meaning of education is trilateral development – simultaneous development in the physical, mental and spiritual realms of human existence. This development should enhance the integration of the human personality. By this, dormant human potentialities will be awakened and put to proper use.” (1)

AWAKENING A THIRST FOR KNOWLEDGE

[B] Here below is that key point where Baba states that a vital role of education is awakening a thirst for knowledge so students may learn and expand their psychic horizons.

“Education must awaken the thirst for knowledge in the students’ minds. The students themselves will create environmental pressure by persistent demands for answers to queries like: What is the answer? Is it correct? The longing, “I wish to know… I wish to understand and assimilate the entire universe” should be created. Such a thirst for knowledge should be created in the minds of students. A learner, in Arabic, is called “tálib-ul-ilm”, meaning “a genuine seeker of knowledge.” So a tremendous thirst for knowledge must be awakened in the students’ minds. They will constantly pry their teachers, their parents and their neighbours with questions like: Why is this so? What is that? Why does that happen? Why does this not happen? etc. They are ready to assimilate the entire universe.” (2)

SENSE OF UNIVERSALISM – COMPASSION FOR ALL

[C] Another key facet of our Ananda Marga system of education is universalism.

“The sense of universalism should also be awakened in the child. Etiquette and refined behaviour are not enough. Real education leads to a pervasive sense of love and compassion for all creation.” (3)

GURU’S SPECIAL ACRONYM:

E-D-U-C-A-T-I-O-N

[D] Here below is Baba’s special acronym about the meaning and aims of education.

“As I have mentioned before, the word E-D-U-C-A-T-I-O-N itself has special significance:
E – Enlargement of mind
D – DESMEP (D Discipline, E Etiquette, S Smartness, M Memory, E English, P Pronunciation)
U – Universal Outlook
C – Character
A – Active habits
T – Trustworthiness
I – Ideation of the Great
O – Omniscient grace
N – Nice temperament” (4)

MORALITY: THE MOST IMPORTANT SUBJECT

[E] While many systems of education strive for the assimilation of worldly knowledge, in Ananda Marga our approach focuses on the development of the human being where morality is placed at a premium.

“In PROUT’s educational system, emphasis should be given to moral education and the inculcation of idealism – not only philosophy and traditions. The practice of morality should be the most important subject in the syllabus at all levels.” (5)

EDUCATING TOMORROW’S CITIZENS

[F] In some social settings, such as capitalism, the aim of education is to prepare people to be good employees, i.e. members of the workforce, or cogs in the capitalist machinery. In stark contrast, in our neo-humanistic system of education, every learner is seen an dynamic member of society.

“Special importance should be attached to children’s education because todays child is tomorrow’s citizen.” (6)

MORE TOPICS DISCUSSED

[G] And in His book series – Human Society – Baba thoroughly reviews the below topics in His chapter on education.

The Role of Teachers
The Problems of Students
The Education System
The Ideals of Teachers
The Responsibilities of Parents
Sáhityikas – the Teachers of Society
Media (Cinema, Pictures & Dramas, and Radio etc)
Commemoration Ceremonies

Namaskar,
In Him,
Arvinda

Note: HERE AGAIN IS THAT BOOK COVER + SOME POINTS ABOUT IT

After looking at this cover, be sure to read the points noted below.

1. See how Dadaji is just involved in his own endeavour. He is not watching the kids.
2. The children came to school to learn something; but that desire is not being met.
3. It looks like Dadaji is merely posing for photo-op. And at the last minute he grabbed that child to come close. But Dadaji is just doing this in front of the camera. The child is not accustomed to this - the proof is how uncomfortable the child looks.
4. Whether a photo-op or real classroom setting, sadly the children are not being guided in the proper manner. So they are just looking around the room in a distracted and disinterested manner. 
5. The classroom is lacking school supplies: Not everyone has a book and clearly there is a lack of other learning materials.
6. And there are more points - tell us yours.
7. The overall concluding idea is that this photo should be removed as soon as possible.

As you can see from the cover, the Dadaji who wrote this book and approved of the cover is Ac Sarvananda Avt.

Re: Meeting With Dada:

Stories of Guru Giving Tests

Respected Indrajit jii
I agree with you and this is the fact.
now so called Dadas are so called MAHANTs sitting to only fight to dominant other group on a huge cost of Marga collection. They pay crores to advocate to get their supremacy on another. What a shame.  When we go to prachaar, people taunt on this.
They have crossed all limits to de-face our organization.
They are too shameless to even acknowledged what wrong they are doing.
They should be thrown out from organization.
With warm regards
G Kumar

**************************************
Gay Lesbian: Carnal Pleasures Like A Beast

"Contentment is not at all possible if the individual is running after carnal pleasures like a beast. As a result of extroversial analysis, the objects of enjoyments go on increasing both in number and abstraction and that is why ones mental flow never gets any rest. Under such circumstances how can one attain perfect peace of mind?" (A Guide to Human Conduct, Santos'a)

Note: Here Baba is warning us how those involved in the sensual pursuits of materialism will never find satisfaction in life. Nowadays in materialistic communities, people are plunged in pornography, gay / lesbian living, and other sex-oriented pursuits. The gay community is particularly notorious - and in some places they even indulge in group sex at night in the public parks. Seeing this, impressionable youths get misdirected. Through films, advertisements, and everyday circumstances, youths are indoctrinated into the false notion that they can find fulfillment and happiness through sensual pleasures. In the end, so many get degraded, contract diseases, and live of life of frustration and suffering, and undergo an early death. This is the tragedy nowadays. People are not taught how to truly satisfy their human longing - how to achieve a real state of contentment and bliss. They never learn how to goad the mind towards Parama Purusa and instead drown in the mire and wasteland of animalistic sensuality.

~ तुम दिव्य संसार से मेरे पास आये हो ~

प्रभात संगीत 1065: अंधार सागर पारे के गो एले.....

हे परम सत्ता! तुम कौन हो जो andhakar ke महासागर को पार कर, दिव्य संसार से मेरे पास आये हो? तुमने आकर असंभव कार्य कर दिखाया। तुमने उन फूलों को खिला दिया जो कभी खिले ही नहीं थे। जिनके मन जड़ हो चुके थे तुमने उनको आध्यात्मिक बना दिया। तुमने अपनी दिव्य आभा की वर्षा कर इस संसार को मधुरता और प्रेम से भर दिया। ए दिव्य, हे प्रभु! तुम आये और आपनी कृपा कर मौत का फंदा [maran’ nigar’] तोड़ दिया, साधना सिखाकर मुक्ति का मार्ग दिखाया। तुमने मुझे अंतहीन जन्मों और मृत्युओं के चक्र से छुड़ाकर मोक्ष की राह दिखाई। हर परिस्थिति में मददकर और अपने पास बिठाकर तुमने मेरा भय दूर कर दिया है। तुमने मेरे हृदय को अपने प्रेम से भर दिया है। तुमने अपनी अहेतुकी कृपा से मेरे मन में दिव्य आनन्द भर दिया है। ए दिव्य सत्ता! तुम को पा जाने के बाद अन्य किसी वस्तु को पाने की चाह नहीं रहती। तुम्हारी  कृपा से तुमको पा कर मैं ने सब कुछ पा लिया है। मेरेी सब इच्छायें पूरी हो गयीं हैं अब और कोई भी इच्छा बाकी नही है। मैं जो कुछ चाहता था सब कुछ तुम्हारी कृपा से पा चुका। हे अपरिमित सत्ता! तुम कौन हो?

हे परमपुरुष! अपूर्णता से पूर्णता की ओर  जाने वाले मेरे मार्ग में, जीवन के हर क्षेत्र में, तुम हमेशा  मेरे साथ रहते हो। तुम  मुझे इतना प्यार करते हैं कि मुझे भय ही नहीं है कि तुम मुझे छोड़ने वाले हो। दिन में, रात में, हर समय तुम मेरे साथ हो, मुझे मदद करने और मार्ग दर्शन  देने के लिये हमेशा  इच्छुक रहते हो। बाबा, तुमने अविद्या का काला पर्दा हटा दिया है और मेरी आॅंखें खोल दी हैं । अपनी कृपा से तुम मुझे गलत रास्ते से खींच कर सही रास्ते पर ले आये। तुमने मुझे वह दे दिया जो मैं सोच भी नहीं सकता था। मैं ने कभी नहीं सोचा था कि मैं परम पुरुष को पा सकॅूंगा , मैं यह स्वप्न भी नहीं देख सका, पर आज तुमने मेरे लिये मेरी आsha’ओं और अपेक्षाओं से भी अधिक दे दिया है। तुम कितने दयालु हो बाबा!

हे मेरे प्रभु! तुमने मुझे आवश्यक  सब चीजें दे दीं। तुमने मेरी भौतिक मानसिक और आध्यात्मिक सब प्रकार की आवश्यकताओं की पूर्ति कर दी, है। ए मेरे परमप्रिय! मेरे ध्यान और साघना में तुम हमेशा  आकर ऊषाकालीन लालिमा के साथ मुस्काते हो। यह तुम्हारी कृपा है, यह सब तुम्हारी ही कृपा है। भूत काल में मैं अनेक भौतिक वस्तुओं की चाह रखता था | पर अब तुम्हारी कृपा से मेरा मन एकाग्र हो चुका है और हे परम पुरुष! तुम्हारे अलावा मैं अब किसी को नहीं चाहता। तुमने मेरे मन में तुमको पाने की इच्छा जाग्रत की और हृदय में अलौकिक रूप से आकर वह पूरी भी कर दी। जब तुम मेरे साथ हो तो अब और किस चीज की मुझे आवष्यकता होगी? नहीं , मुझे अब कोई अन्य इच्छा नहीं है। बाबा! कोई बात नहीं कि मैं कितना जान पाता हूॅं , वास्तव में  मैं कुछ नहीं जानता , पर हे दिव्य सत्ता! तुम जो इतने कृपालु और स्नेही हो, कृपा कर अपनी दिव्यता का बखान तो करो?

टिप्पणीः
मौत का फंदा [maran’ nigar’]- सामान्यतः सभी मनुष्य जन्म और मृत्यु के चक्कर में घूमते हैं पर जब वे परम पुरुष के संपर्क में आ जाते हें तो मौत ही ही मृत्यु हो जाती है और वे अन्तहीन जन्म और मृत्यु के चक्र से बच जाते हैं। परम पुरुष को मृत्यु की मृत्यु कहा गया है क्यों कि उनके संपर्क में आकर एक हो चुके व्यक्ति की मौत के बाद फिर से जन्म नहीं होता। अर्थात् मृत्यु की ही मृत्यु हो जाती है। इसलिये मौत के फंदे से बचने का एक ही उपाय है नियमित रूपसे साधना करना।

MEETING WITH DADA:

STORIES OF GURU GIVING TESTS

Namaskar,
In the early months of 2012, many came to know about the alleged sexual crime committed by Dada Mukunda.

Some time later I happened to come across Dadaji and got opportunity to speak with him. After exchanging common courtesies, we began to speak about his past - and how and why it happened.

DADAJI HAS NO REPENTANCE FOR HIS WRONGDOING

I asked Dadaji, "Do you have repentance for your wrongdoing."

Dadaji responded, "Repentance? Why repentance, I did not do anything wrong."

Hearing thus, I was surprised: How could Dadaji deny any wrongdoing for such heinous acts on such innocent, defenseless victims.

Dada Mukunda could see that I was incredulous, so he began to explain more about his perspective.

PARAMA PURUSA GAVE ME A TEST

SO I WAS NOT AT FAULT

"Before all that happened, my mind was fine. Then one day, Baba gave me a test and shifted my mind in another direction; and then I began doing all those misdeeds. So you see - that was not me - per se. Rather, Baba made my mind like that. He was purposely giving me a test - to see how I would respond."

Dadaji continued, "Well, clearly I failed that test. But that was not my fault. Baba put my mind in that condition. That was His test. So I have no repentance. Guru creates the situation and gives tests. That all occurred on Baba's desire that I should undergo one test - which I clearly failed."

DOES PARAMA PURUSA TEST EVERYONE - OR ONLY YOU

Then I asked him, "Did Baba do this type of test only with you, or does He test others in this way also?"

Dada Mukunda replied, "Oh yes, this is very common. Baba is always giving tests to people in this way. Don't you know?"

"For example, take the alleged case of Dada Tiirthanandji. Dadaji became infatuated with one Didi and together they left their acaryaships etc. That was a test. Tiirthanandji was doing fine then Baba decided to give him a test. On this matter, Tiirthanandji is completely innocent - the whole blame goes to Baba. We cannot blame Tiirthanandji - no way."

My curiosity was peaked. I asked if Dada Mukunda had any more examples.

PARAMA PURUSA GAVE TEST TO DEFECTORS

SO THEY ARE NOT AT FAULT

"Yes, yes, there are many more examples - some famous and some not famous."

"Take the classic case of Dada Madhvananda in 1970. At the time he was a first-class avadhuta and an A-grade person. He was the chief of VSS and very obedient. Then Baba gave him one test. In result, Madhavanandji became a defector and brought one murder case against Baba. This was not Dada Madhavanandji's fault - this was just a test given by Guru. So when everything was done by Parama Purusa then why blame Madhavanandji. It is Baba's fault."

Then I said, "Okay, that was long ago, what about a more recent example."

Dadaji replied, "I will certainly answer your query but first you must know that Dada Tapeshvaranandji was also given test by Guru in this way. In those days of 1970, Dada Tapeshvaranandji completely lost his faith in Guru and became a defector. But it was not his fault. Guru was giving him a test and Guru was accountable for this. Because verily Guru realised He gave too strong a test and brought back Dada Tapeshvaranandji. This proves that it was not Tapeshvaranandji's fault for defecting against Guru. Similarly, no blame can be attached to Madhavanandji. The only difference is that Guru gave the test to Madhavanandji but never undid it. Whereas with Tapeshvaranandji, Guru brought him back. So these types of defections are not sin - the person involved did no wrong - rather Guru was giving tests."

I nodded and before I could again ask my question, Dada Mukunda ventured forwards.

MURDERERS AND EXPLOITERS ALSO CANNOT BE BLAMED

JUST GURU GAVE THEM TESTS

Dadaji said, "Now let address your query of more recent examples. Sure, take the case of B group Dadas who  allegedly murdered Ac Abhipremanandji Avt. That murder was not the fault of those Wts. They were undergoing a test given to them by Guru. Guru made their mind in that way and a fight ensued. So it was not their fault. All is upon the shoulders of Guru. He gave them that test. At the time, Guru was also giving Abhipremanandji his test. So all played their roles given to them by Baba."

I interjected, "Really, do you have other examples?"

Mukundanandji added, "Sure - Take the situation of Dada Sambhutyanandji with the Fake BP Manual and decimation of margii rights. No one can rightly blame Sambhutyanandji for any wrongdoing or injustice. He was always a good Dada and then Baba gave him a test and made his mind in that way. So it was not Dadaji's fault; rather all blame goes to Guru and His test."

"For that matter, the same can be said of B group and their ongoing distortions of Ananda Marga scripture. Baba gave them a test and made their mind in that way. So here again no blame should be attached to B group / Tiljala for the mass distortion of Ananda Marga books."

At that point I became really curious and asked, "Is Parama Purusa only doing this with Wts? Is that the special system?"

PARAMA PURUSA GIVES TESTS TO ALL:

DELHI GANG RAPISTS NOT TO BE BLAMED

Dadakji quickly retorted, "Absolutely not. All are involved in this."

Then Mukunda explained that this same theory of Guru giving tests applies to non-margiis also.

"Those Delhi gang rape perpetrators are merely under test from Parama Purusa. They did not decide to commit any vile act. Only Parama Purusa put them in test and changed their mind. That is the first and last cause. So the courts have it completely wrong. Those gang-rape assailants are innocent and not to be blamed."

DADAJI'S BOGUS JUSTIFICATION

USING ANANDA MARGA PHILOSOPHY

After listening in disgust, I inquired, "Dadaji, about this philosophy of yours,do you have any supportive proof of this from Ananda Marga teaching?"

Dada Mukunda stated, "Most certainly. You must have heard that avidya maya is controlled by Parama Purusa. So whatever wrong anyone does is the work of avidya maya so ultimately Parama Purusa is responsible. Avidya maya is a blind forces and therefore cannot work without the help of the Supreme Controller - Parama Purusa. So Parama Purusa is 100% responsible - He is the ultimate cause. Numerous professors, philosophers, and engineers have reasoned in this way."

Immediately, I thought that this was a complete misinterpretation of Ananda Marga philosophy because any rational sadhaka knows that Parama Purusa cannot be blamed for a person's wrongdoing. Even then I was curious to hear more from Dadaji.

DADA T'S BOOK MISGUIDED DADAJI

Awed by what I heard, I asked, "Who first told you this philosophy that Guru gives tests whereby disciples commit crimes?"

Mukundanandji replied that, "It is commonly known and has been highlighted in Tapeshvaranandji's book - in the chapter "The Seven Tests of Guru." Don't you know about this book. It is so famous and every sincere Ananda Margii knows that Guru gives tests. Professors, intellectuals, engineers, all know that Guru gives tests. He creates the situation and Guru gives tests. So everyone is aware that when any seeming wrongdoing occurs then Guru is to be blamed for giving tests."

I was both baffled and shocked by all that Dadaji had to say. I spoke aloud, "Really, these are all cases of Guru giving tests?"

Dadaji told, "I could give you innumerable more examples of Baba giving similar tests to Dadas and Didis. There are endless cases - I could talk all day and night about this.

Hearing thus, I thought, "God save us from this perverted philosophy where Guru gives tests so that disciples fall from the path."

ANANDA MARGA PHILOSOPHY:

WRONGDOERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR MISDEEDS - NOT PARAMA PURUSA

Here is the true teaching from Ananda Marga philosophy.

   Ananda Marga scripture says, "The more microcosms advance along the path of Pratisaincara, the more developed they become, and the more freedom they are granted to act independently. Of course they can only enjoy as much freedom as the Supreme Authority chooses to give them. The amount of suffering caused by reactive momenta depends upon how microcosms use or misuse this freedom. It serves no purpose whatsoever to blame the Supreme Entity for this suffering. After all, you have been given the freedom, the full liberty, to perform the original deeds as you think fit. Since every action contains a seed of reaction you will have to undergo the reactions of your actions. These seeds or reactive momenta are expressed through your non-original deeds (sam'skára múlaka) over which you have no control."
   "A person is reborn in a physical structure and physical environment which are congenial for the expression of the unrequited sam'skáras. The Cosmic Mind directs the disembodied soul to that particular environment where it will get the maximum opportunity for the expression of its latent sam'skáras. Thats why some people live miserable lives in squalid conditions and suffer from poor health while others lead joyful, healthy, and worry-free lives in a comfortable environment. Yet no matter what circumstances one finds oneself in, one must realize and accept that no situation is without hope. For ones psychic expansion, one will have to keep ones mind fixed on the Supreme Entity, one will have to advance towards that Absolute Entity while removing all obstacles from the path." (AMIWL-7, Form and Formless)

उच्च पदों पर बैठे पुरोधा ---अपने स्वार्थसिद्धि हेतु संस्था को कोर्ट कचहरी में उलझाकर रखे हुए है।

Re: Dogma: “X Is The Only Son Of God”

दादा नमस्कार,  बहुत दुःख होता है ये देखकर की अपने ही गुरु के बनाए हुए संस्था को अपने व्यक्तिगत स्वार्थ के लिए अलग अलग ग्रुप में बांटा गया और उसके बाद भी आदर्श प्रचार छोड़कर एक दुसरे के कुप्रचार में हम लगे हुए है,परम पुरुष बाबा हमेशा अपने व्यासासन से कहते थे की समय बहुत कम है खूब साधना करो खूब कीर्तन करो जन कल्याण करो आदर्श का प्रचार करो। और आज उच्च पदों पर बैठे अपने को पुरोधा और आचार्य पद के हकदार समझनेवाले सीनियर लोग शायद इन सारी बातों को भूलकर अपने स्वार्थसिद्धि हेतु संस्था को कोर्ट कचहरी के चक्कर में उलझाकर रखे हुए है। परम पुरुष बाबा ने कहा है कि अपने जीवन को विपन्न करके भी anandamarga की रक्षा करोगे। लेकिन अपने को परम पुरुष बाबा के करीब रहने का दावा करनेवाले लोग आज संस्था को विपन्न करके अपने व्यक्तिगत जीवन की रक्षा में लगे है। आज की इस परिस्थति में आनंदमार्ग के लिए इससे बड़ा दुर्भाग्य और क्या हो सकता है। आज गृही और कुछ सच्चे wt जो परम पुरुष बाबा के निर्देशों को मानते है वो भी चाहे तो कोर्ट में जा सकता है लेकिन परम पुरुष बाबा के निर्देशों को मानते हुए चुप है क्योंकि anandamarga ही ऐसे लोगों का जीवन है। । लेकिन इसे कुछ लोग मार्गियों की कमजोरी समझते है। वैसे लोगो से अनुरोध है की परम पुरुष बाबा के बताये तरीकों से आत्ममंथन करे। और अपने में सुधार लायें तो यूनिटी के लिए अलग से कोई प्रयास नहीं करना होगा स्वतः सारी problem परम पुरुष बाबा की कृपा से खुद बखुद solve हो जायेगी।

मैंने प्रारंभिक वर्षों में तुम को नहीं तलाशा  इसके लिये मुझे गहरा अनुताप है।

प्रभात सँगीत  379 प्रथम जीवने  तुमि आशो निको ,तार lagii मने कोनो   क्लेश  नाइ

भावार्थ

ए परमपुरुष, मेरे प्रियतम! मेरे जीवन के ऊषा काल में तुम मेरे निकट नहीं आये। परंतु मेरे मन मे यह दुख नहीं है कि--तुमने मुझे उस समय अपने संरक्षण में क्यों नहीं लिया, मेरे निकट आकर मेरे अभिन्न क्यों नहीं हुए। इसके लिये मेरे मन में कोई क्रोध या मानसिक कष्ट नहीं है। परंतु मेरे मन में पछतावा अवश्य  है कि मैने  उस समय तुम्हारी खोज क्यों नहीं की। यही कारण है कि मेरा हृदय पूरे समय रोता रहता है जलता रहता है।  मेरी सचमुच गलती है कि मैंने प्रारंभिक वर्षों में तुम को नहीं तलाशा  इसके लिये मुझे गहरा अनुताप है।

ए पुरुषोत्तम, उस समय तुम मेरे कितने निकट थे हमेशा mere dil me साथ-साथ रहते, तब भी मैने तुम्हें न तो पुकारा और न ही साधना सीख कर तुम्हारी खोज की। उस समय मैने कोई चिंता ही नहीं की | मेरे जीवन के सभी प्रारंभिक रात और दिन, व्यर्थ के विभिन्न कामों में नष्ट होते गये। अब इस जीवन के मध्य में उन दिनों की बहुत याद आती है और मैं अपार कष्ट का अनुभव करता हूॅं।

ए परमपुरुष ! इस धरा पर सभी लोग बहुत कम समय के लिये ही आते हैं | अनेक काम करते हैं, और फलहीन होकर समय व्यर्थ नष्ट  होने पर तुमको, अपने दुर्भाग्य के लिये कोसते हैं | पर इसका कोई लाभ नहीं है | सबको अपने संस्कारों का परिणाम भोगना ही पड़ता है। जब वे अपने अहंकार का cha’ta’ अपने सिर के ऊपर से हटा लेते हैं तब उन्हे पता चलता है कि तुम्हारी कृपा बृष्टि तो सदा ही सब पर होती रहती है। ए परमपुरुष ! Baba,  तुम तो सदा कृपालु हो, तुम वही करते हैं जो मेरे लिये सर्वोत्तम होता है, मेरी केवल यही इच्छा है कि सदा तुम्हारी शरण में ही बना रहॅूं।

INFIGHTING IN B GROUP

Namaskar,
Here is an overview of the deep division and infighting that is occurring within the Tiljala faction. Many are aware about this - for those who are not, here is a summary.

FAKE BHUKTI PRADHAN MANUAL

First of all we should know some basic facts about Dada Sambhutyanandji. Dadaji is not some great sannyasi dedicated to the ideals of neo-humanism. Remember, this is the same Dada Sambhutyananda whose name appears on the cover page of the Fake Bhukti Pradhan Manual (1997). So Dadaji is directly and indirectly responsible for so many crimes and violations against margii rights. And he has never expressed an iota of repentance about this.

Keeping this in mind - read through this step-by-step summary.

THE CORONATION OF KINSHUK

& SAMBHUTYANANDJI'S COURT CASE

1. The fighting began with the coronation of Kinshukji as PP.

2. Dada Sambhutyanandji and Dada Japanandji both opposed Kinshukji's coronation as PP because Kinshuk is a family man.

3. To this end, Dada Sambhutyanandji filed one case in Purulia court claiming that only a sannyasi can be Purodha Pramukha.

SAMBHUTYANANDJI IS OUSTED FROM TILJALA

4. Thereafter, those at the helm of Tiljala immediately ousted Sambhutyanandji from their campus. Indeed, you may have heard some time ago how Dada Sambhutyanandji was complaining how his belongings were tossed out of the Tiljala compound. Ever since then he has been residing in North Bengal.

5. All the while, Tiljala has been trying to defend their selection of Kinshuk as PP. Their aim was to delay the case for as long as possible.

B GROUP'S PETITION REJECTED BY COURTS

6. But on 21 June 2014, Tiljala / Kolkata's petition for a dismissal was rejected by the Purulia court. So in the near future, the real case will begin.

7. But none should be confused. This fight is not based on their dedication to a high ideal, but is born out of narrow, selfish, petty interest. Both Sambhutyanandji and Tiljala are just concerned with their own post and power - period.

8. Remember, Dada Sambhutyanandji is not some great sannyasi dedicated to the ideals of neo-humanism. Dada Sambhutyananda’s name is printed in bold letters on the cover page of the Fake Bhukti Pradhan Manual (1997). Dadaji is directly and indirectly responsible for so many crimes and violations against margii rights. Yet, he has never expressed an iota of repentance about this.

9. Furthermore, this is the same Dada Sambhutyanandji who steered the ship for B group to create their own governing body and split from the main organisation.

10. And now Dadaji is proclaiming that only a Wt can be PP, not a family margii.

BOTH PARTIES GOADED BY SELF-INTEREST

11. It is well-known that over the years, Ac Sambhutyanandji has held great pride in his involvement in separating B group from the main structure and in working as Sarvatmanandji's right-hand man in creating the Fake BP Manual etc. Dadaji proudly speaks of these accomplishments. Yet now he is at odds with Tiljala over the appointment of Kinshukji as PP.

12. Those governing B group felt that appointing Kinshuk as PP was the best way to bring glory to their group. They are using Kinshuk as a pawn to grab more power for themselves. By this way they can befool margiis, as those margiis will think they are being represented and listened to since Kinshuk is PP. But in reality, Kinshuk is just a stooge - he is a rubber stamp for B group leaders to push through their agenda. That is why Tiljala personnel feel that Kinshukji is the ideal person to be PP.

13. So both parties - Sambhutyanandji and Tiljala - are standing on the basis of their own self-interest. They are both driven by their own egos. Theirs is a selfish battle - nothing more. There is not a shred of dharma or ideology at the center of their fight. Just it is a petty fight for power. 

Namaskar,
in Him,
Liilakrsna

RE: Be Careful About Food

BABA

Namaskar,

Your recent posting, "Be Careful About Food" (link appended below) is useful and needs to be resent from time to time for new margiis, non-margiis, and older margiis who have become relaxed about16 points.

As an addendum, strict vegetarians have to be very careful and buy only non-GMO produce, at least in the U.S.A. Many foods are cross-bred with a specific fish gene to help the produce stay fresh during colder weather. Such foods as corn, soybeans, strawberries, and some tomatoes are known to have this animal gene in it. Apparently, this has been going on since 1996. So, buyer beware. Below are a couple of very reliable sources about the biotechnology.

Namaskar!

"B group leaders, are moving from village to village across West Bengal to introduce Kinshukji as the only son of God."

The B Group is joking, right? I can't believe what I have just read about what is spoken in India?!!!

This is absurd. They are forgetting he was adopted by Baba, too.

This has to stop now. We must call for the immediate step down of Kinshuk as PP. We must do it now!

In BABA,
Vyasa

Kolkata’s dismissal petition  dated 30.08.2013 rejected by Purulia Court on 21.06.2014                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Dismissal petition dated 30.08.2013 filed by defendants Ac. Kingshuk Ranjan Sarkar and 13 others praying in the Court of Civil Judge(Sr. Divn.), Additional Court, Purulia to dismiss the Title Suit No. 178 of 2012 filed by Ac. Sambhutyananda Avt. and others against Ac. Kingshuk Ranjan Sarkar and 13 others on the point of maintainability has been rejected by the Ld.

Civil judge (Sr. Divn.), Purulia on the points of violation of “Carya’carya”, Constitution of AMPS, Court Order and election norms and rules praying, among others for declaration that defendant No. 1 (Ac. Kingshuk Ranjan Sarkar) is not the Purodha Pramukha and the President of Central Committee of Ananda Marga, the President of AMPS and that the so called election or selection of defendant No. 1 and the P.P. of Ananda Marga on 25.03.2011; formation of Central Committee of Ananda Marga by him on 25.04.2011 and his declaration of himself as the President of Governing Body of AMPS and any formation of United Administration by defendants are illegal and null and void ab-initio and further declaration that all the acts and/or any order or declaration made by defendant No. 1 or by any of his secretaries or officers or agents or men on and from 25.03.2011 onward  be declared as illegal and null and void ab-initio.                                                                                                                                                               &nb sp;                                                     Along with the aforesaid suit an application for temporary injunction restraining defendant No.1 from acting as Purodha Pramukha and President of Ananda Marga and Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha and other relevant reliefs was also filed in the Ld. Court.                                                               But ever since filing of the suit, the defendants, afraid of facing the truth in the Court of Law, have been evading and adopting dilly-dallying dilatory tactics to unnecessarily delay the due process of law.                                                                                                                                                            After a long avoidance, under the pressure of the Law court, when the date for hearing of injunction application was fixed then the defendants applied their last resort to further delay the hearing, on the last 30.08.2013 they filed an application on the point of maintainability on flimsy ground stating that the suit is not maintainable, hence, the suit be dismissed. After having undergone much topsy-turvy and delay of almost 10 months, the said dismissal application filed by defendants came up for hearing and after hearing the parties the Ld. Court of the Civil Judge (Sr. Divn.), Additional Court Purulia on 21^st June 2014 rejected the dismissal application of Kolkata and accordingly has fixed the next date for further proceeding of the suit.                                                                                                                                                                                                      ;                                                     All the foregoing in the case prove that the defendants are afraid of facing the trial in the Court of Law and in principle they are already defeated and thus suffering from defeatist mentality.

DOGMA:

“X IS THE ONLY SON OF GOD”

Namaskar,
These days B group is broadcasting two central claims:
1. Kinshukji is the only son of God;
2. We - B group - are the blessed ones because we have Kinshukji.

Here following is more about what's going on.

KINSHUK IS THE ONLY SON OF GOD:

PROCLAIMING THIS TO ALL

Verily, now Kinshukji and his team, as well as other B group leaders, are moving from village to village across West Bengal to introduce Kinshukji as the only son of God.

Hearing this propaganda, margiis became surprised - because every Ananda Margii thinks of themselves as the child of Parama Purusa. This is the common feeling. And Baba has always stated how all are His children.

"All are children of the Supreme Father, all are progeny of the Supreme Entity, children of the same Father." (1)

So, for Ananda Margiis, it is quite odd to the ears to hear that only Kinshukji is child of Parama Purusa. Because they feel in their heart that He is the Cosmic Father and all His progeny.

BOGUS IDEA:

ONLY KINSHUKJI IS THE SON OF GOD

Yet now B group is trying to erase this devotional feeling from their minds and introduce the false and bogus idea that only Kinshukji is the son of Parama Purusa and everyone else has no familial relation with Supreme Father. Besides Kinshukji, all others are step-sons and step-daughters, or distant neighbors etc.

This is the type of indoctrination that is going on. It is reminiscent of the dogma associated with one of the Semitic religions that preach that their saviour is the only son of God and all else have no direct relation with the Divine. B group is following in the footsteps of this religious dogma and forgetting the highly unique and devotional aspect of Ananda Marga that all are the progeny of Parama Purusa.

PROPAGANDA:

B GROUP IS THE “BLESSED FACTION”

In addition to claiming that Kinshukji is the only son of the Supreme Father, B group is also broadcasting that they themselves are the blessed ones because the have brought Kinshukji into their camp. So B group members are blessed and all others are wretched and cursed. That is their essential claim.

To this end, they are moving from village to village, unit to unit, in the western part of West Bengal to present Kinshukji to all the margiis. In each place, Kinshuk is surrounded by his entourage as B group is bent on "tutoring" margiis about Kinshukji's grand stature, as well as why B group is the blessed faction. So in each location, there is big pomp and show along with a feast and other celebratory events etc. This is how B group is getting the word out in hopes of establishing themselves as unparalleled.

"JUST A WASTE OF MONEY"

Seeing the grand scene that B group is making, rational margiis are frustrated and wondering why they are being asked to donate funds for this purpose: "It is just a waste of money." Instead margiis want their funds and donations used for social service projects. After all, in West Bengal itself, there are countless villages that do not even have clean water etc. So that is why margiis are thinking that B group's promotional tour is just a big waste of resources, time, and energy.

DESPERATE TO CLAIM GURUHOOD

Even then, B group is working endlessly to boost their image and impose an inferiority complex on all others. Such pseudo-dharmic leaders want to establish their own guruhood by stating that the word of their group is the word of God and the final truth.

Needless to say, every sadhaka should be 100% cautious when they hear such dogmatic claims: Really Kinshukji is the only son and everyone else is an alien; really B group is the blessed faction and all else are heathens. No rational Ananda Margii can think in this way.

BABA'S STRICT WARNING

Here Ananda Marga philosophy strictly warns us about the fanatical rants of extremists who claim themselves to be the blessed ones while all others are lowly and despised. Such persons can never to anything good for humanity.

"“Your God is the only God. You are His blessed sons and daughters, and others will burn in hellfire.” By these sermons, unity among human beings can never be achieved." (2)

READING AND STUDYING BABA'S BOOKS, AND DOING MEDITATION

Hearing the two preposterous claims by B group, most margiis are not swayed. Because for years and years sadhakas have been meditating on Parama Purusa as the Supreme Father, and have thus realised they are His children.

The only answer to this matter is that margiis and Wts should double-up their efforts in reading and studying Baba's books, and doing more meditation as well. By this way the idea will set deeper in the mind that they are the children of Parama Purusa. And they will not get sway by "loose-canon" types of claims as B group is doing these days.

Everyone should be alert and remember in their depths of their heart that they are the blessed child of Parama Purusa.

"You know that you are the loving sons and daughters of Parama Puruśa." (3)

"All the microcosms are part and parcel of Parama Puruśa: all are His progeny, His dear children...Parama Puruśa dearly loves His children...[and] wants them to progress physically, mentally, and spiritually." (4)

Namaskar,
in Him,
Surabhi Benerji

Note 1: CONCOCTING EVIDENCE TO PRESENT TO THE COURT

One other dynamic that is functioning here is that both H and B group are holding maximum programs with margiis around India in order to strengthen their position in court. Both want to stand in the courtroom and present evidence that they are the ones that margiis have embraced as the real AMPS. For this reason, both H and B group are going around, taking photos of all their gatherings with margiis, videoing their processions, and recording how the Jai slogan is being raised for their party. Each group is aiming to present anecdotal evidence to the court that they are accepted as the true leaders of AMPS. For this reason they are holding one DMS after another. Yet this is all one game for their courtroom drama and quest for power. Is this not shameful.

Quiz:

They Have Confined Them Within A Small Dungeon

Intro: Kindly read the below quote from Baba's teachings. At the end of the quote a question has been posed. If your answer to the question is correct then it means you read Baba's books carefully; and, if your answer is wrong or you do not know the answer, then it signifies that you need to pay more attention when reading Guru's teachings. After all, if sadhakas are not diligent in studying Baba's books then who is going to read them - non-margiis?

Confined Them Within A Small Dungeon

"They have taught people to view each other with suspicion. By restricting social welfare activities to their community, they have kept the rest of the people in the dark about the true state of affairs. They have not let the people know whether they were actually the promoters or detractors of human welfare. By raising an iron curtain, a veil of dark ignorance, before them, they have taught people to chatter a few chosen, tutored sentences. They have confined them within a small dungeon, with its doors and windows locked – they have converted them into owls of darkness. This is the inevitable outcome of those pseudo-philosophies." (Namah Shiváya Shántáya, Disc: 14)

Quiz: Who is Baba referring to in the above quote?

Most probably, as an Ananda Margii, you know what the answer is. However to fully satisfy your curiosity and get the complete answer, kindly read the section directly AFTER the below Ananda Vanii.

Ananda Vanii

   "The humans of today are possessed of spirited intellect and accomplished wisdom. They are keen to advance with rapid step shattering the shackles of dogmas. They will no longer be entrapped by the illusion of opportunism. The rays of the crimson dawn of a new humanity on the eastern horizon have started weaving textures of colours on their eyelids and in the subtle recesses of their minds. As for those who have been dreaming of keeping humanity imprisoned by dogmas, their days are numbered; their blissful dreams are being shattered to pieces. I call upon all enlightened people and say: “Go ahead with courage. The humanity has been awaiting you. Establish it in the excellence and grandeur of glory." (Ananda Vanii #55)

Ananda Vanii

Answer: In His above teaching, Baba is primarily referring to communists - they keep the common people in a dark state of repression and oppression. There is no scope to see things in the light of day - everything is hidden under cloak of darkness. The free and open exchange of ideas is not permitted. The media is wholly controlled by the state and the people have no idea what is happening in the world around them. Only they know the spoon-fed slogans given by those communist leaders.

Some dogmatic religions like Islam also adhere to this type of censorship where the people are forced to blindly follow their religious codes, without question or reason. Basically wherever the priest, or mullah etc is leveraging tremendous control over their community and not allowing open discussions, then that is also applicable here.

First and foremost however, this teaching is an indirect reference to communism and those exploitative communist leaders.

हे प्रभु! सभी तुम्हारी निकटताचाहते हैं।

भावार्थ

हे प्रभु! सभी लोग तुम्हारी निकटता और कृपा चाहते हैं। तुम सब जगह हो। तुम इस विश्व  के प्रत्येक कण, प्रत्येक चिन्ह और अणु परमाणु सब में छिपे हुए हो। सिद्धान्ततः तो मैं यह समझता हॅूं पर इस परम सत्य को अनुभव करना सरल नहीं है।

अपनी अपूर्णता के कारण कभी मैं तुम्हें दूर आकाश  में ढूंडता हूँ  तो कभी मधुर सुगंधित वायु में और कभी तारा मंडलों में। इस प्रकार मैं अपना समय तुम्हें बाहर खोजने में नष्ट करता रहता हॅूं। यह सब व्यर्थ ही चला जाता है क्यों कि मैं तुम्हें अपने हृदय के भीतर नहीं खोजता हूँ  जहाॅं तुम हमेशा  अपने दिव्य ‘‘श्री श्री आनन्दमूर्ति के रूप‘‘ में रहते हो।

तुम्हारे इतने आकर्षक और प्यारे स्वरूप को मैंने अपने भीतर नहीं खोजा इसलिये निराश  होकर तुम्हारी चाह में रो रहा हूँ , चिल्ला रहा हूँ ,
बाबा! तुम्हारी लीला अमाप्य है।  तुम महान हो, मैं तुम्हें अनगिनत बार प्रणाम करता हॅूं।

Donations Only From Stooges To Boost Centre's Status

Ranchi News: Ananda Purnima Feast

Namaskar
It is Baba’s given system that all margiis should donate – on a sliding scale – when holding a collective feast such as during Ananda Purnima etc. But this year at the Ananda Purnima celebrations in Ranchi, the in-charge Dadas arranged for only a few wealthy followers to pay. They did not collect from the general margiis of Ranchi bhukti. Instead they only accepted funds from their big-time donors and stooges to boost their status.

Many say this was done to “show-up” the local margiis. At present the margiis are doing silent action against top Ranchi dadas because those dadas wrongly removed the elected bhukti pradhan. This is an involved story which I request another person to write about in detail in another letter. Here the point is that because big dadas were feeling pinched by local margiis, then those dadas decided to retaliate. To push the margiis down and indirectly say that, “We do not care about your money”, those big dadas did not request or allow those margiis to donate any money for the feast.

Again this was not done out of any large-hearted feelings and great generosity towards the margiis; rather this was allegedly done out of spite and vengeance.

Yet by their entire manner, those Central Wts are clearly violating Baba's mandate regarding collective food.

"Priityanna: If a person wants to feed you out of genuine intimacy, you should take that food happily, even if it is just grains and vegetables. But if someone invites you only to make a show to people, never accept his/her food." (Caryacarya, part 2, Society, point #37)

Next Baba gives the example of donkey food and how offering food as a show of one's prestige etc goes against the collective well-being.

"If food is not given with that heart-felt feeling and if one's own life is not in danger due to starvation, in that condition then any food offered is donkey food, gardabha'nna. So one must not eat that food." (Summary of Shabda Cayanika - 20, p.163-64 [Bangla])

So that is donkey food - food given just for show or to impress others etc.

"Rich People Are In Our Pocket"

The meal offered at the Ranchi Ananda Purnima celebration was not given out of love and affection. This whole episode was done to humiliate others. Those at the helm wanted to give the message, "We have rich people - they our stooges - so we can feed you - we do not need what you have to offer." This was the arrogant and poisonous display of those Central Wts.

But since it was the grand occasion of Ananda Purnima, Ranchi margiis remained quiet and maintained the dignity of the gathering. They did not want to disrupt the whole scene, despite the ugly approach of certain big Dadas.

Beware, this is not an isolated incident. This is going on in various places, but mostly it goes unreported. Yet it is happening again and again. And it will recur in the future also because this is being orchestrated by Centre. So take it seriously - this is not ordinary news - rather this was a clear-cut case of undermining the dignity and respect of all margiis. 

In Him,
Divyanshu

The section below demarcated by asterisks is an entirely different topic,

**************************************************

My Group Is The Favourite Others Are Cursed

Intro: Kindly read the below quote from Baba's teachings. At the end of the quote a question has been posed. If your answer to the question is correct then it means you read Baba's books carefully; and, if your answer is wrong or you do not know the answer, then it signifies that you need to pay more attention when reading Guru's teachings. After all, if sadhakas are not diligent in studying Baba's books then who is going to read them - non-margiis?

"Some philosophies have taught their own [religious or caste] communities, “The members of this community are the favourite children of Parama Puruśa – others are cursed and unwanted.” Due to this defective teaching the people of one community have even considered the destruction of the members of another community as an act of virtue, and stained the stony altar of human society with the blood of innocent people. In the blood of these innocent victims, the blind adherents of such defective philosophies have taken a holy bath of “liberation”." (Namah Shiváya Shántáya, Disc: 14)

Quiz: Who is Baba referring to in the above quote?

Most probably, as an Ananda Margii, you know what the answer is. However to fully satisfy your curiosity and get the complete answer, kindly read the section directly AFTER the below Ananda Vanii.

Section: Ananda Vanii

   "The very import of the history of human welfare is the history of struggle and strife. Even the sweet gospels of peace could not be preached in an environment of peace and composure. Devils did not allow the apostle of peace to work peacefully – that is why I say that peace is the outcome of fight."
   "This endeavour at the well-being of the human race concerns everyone – it is yours, mine and ours. We may afford to ignore our rights, but we must not forget our responsibilities. Forgetting the responsibility implies the humiliation of the human race."
   "In order to march ahead on the road of human welfare, we will have to strengthen ourselves in all the arena of life. The complete seeds of welfare in all the spheres – physical, mental, moral, social and spiritual – are embedded in the sixteen points. Hence be firm on the sixteen points." (Ananda Vanii #45)

End Ananda Vanii

ANSWER TO THE QUIZ

Answer: Baba is indirectly talking about battles between the various Semitic religions such as the Crusades, Shia-Sunni fight, and aggressive / forced conversion etc. Here are the specifics:

Forced Conversion Attack Native Peoples

(a) Christians engaged in brutal forced conversions of non-Christians wherever they went. During the era of colonization, with the "sword" they forcibly converted the native peoples in so many lands across the globe. Gradually, they transformed their approach from "using the sword" to applying economic, psychological, and circumstantial pressure to convert people into Christianity. All along they reasoned that what they are doing is virtuous because they are "saving" such heathens from their uncivilised style of worship.

The Vatican has already admitted to taking part in the World War II Croatian genocide where more than 800,000 innocents were brutally slaughtered. ref, http://urbantruthnetwork.wordpress.com

(This cartoon is about religious hatred, pitting one religion against another - they are killing and eating member from the oppositional group.)

Forced Conversion & Attack On non-Catholics

(b) Catholics also have a long and brutal history of forcible converting non-Catholics. Their harsh approach created backlash and the rise of the Protestants. Thus within Christianity itself their is a history of such battles and forced conversion.

Forced Conversion & Attack On Non-Muslims

(c) Islam has a bloody history of conversion and still this tactic is in vogue. They forcibly  convert and attack non-Muslims with their physical might. There are innumerable instances of this. In addition, the Muslims apply economic pressure in the form of taxes and denial of business licenses. Plus, non-Muslims are sidelined and lose their rights and privileges. BY all such methods, people are pressured and forced to convert to Islam. And those Muslims feel their approach is virtuous as they are rescuing such persons from their other faith.

Shia-Sunni  Battles Forced Conversion

(d) Within the Islamic tradition, the battles of shia-sunni are well documented where forced conversion is done at gun-point and numerous other bloody strategies.

Buddhist Kings Forced Conversion

(e) Long back also in the Buddhist era there were forced conversions. Those Buddhist kings were carrying out raids and battles to increase number of Buddhist followers. That approach is no longer in vogue.

In Ananda Marga:
Group Leaders Create Circumstantial Pressure to Convert Others Into Their Group

(f) Unfortunately, the way events are unfolding in Ananda Marga nowadays, things are moving in that same direction. At present, if you are not a member of a particular group, then they may bar you from attending a function, or you may be denied entry into a jagrti, or you may be kept out of certain parts of Ananda Nagar, or you may face certain difficulties etc. Or they may try and entice you to join their group by offering post, power, status etc. All these types of pressure tactics and allurements are already going on in Ananda Marga. And if awareness of our ideological principles is not emphasized, then most certainly, groups will start carrying out forced conversions where they physically attack non-members to increase their own membership / cadres.

सिद्धान्ततः यह समझ सकता है कि परम पुरुष प्रत्येक स्थान पर हैं पर भक्त के लिये यह पर्याप्त नहीं लगता। भक्त तो अपना व्यक्तिगत संबंध बनाकर निकटता से बातचीत करना चाहता है। साधक अपनी भावनायें और सुख दुख की बातें उन से करना चाहता है। इस प्रकार की लगन भक्ति की प्रारंभिक अवस्था कहलाती है, यदि इस प्रकार का वार्तालाप नहीं होता है तो यह माना जाता है कि अभी भक्ति का प्रारंभ नहीं हुआ। यह गीत इसी विंदु की व्याख्या करता है।

JACKING UP WILL NEVER WORK

RATHER IT IS SINFUL

Note: This letter is not for those who do not have reverence for Guru, Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji. Those who cannot use their rational mind should not read - this is s critical issue for the glory of Guru. If you think you are emotional, please do not read. Here we present the hard facts.


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.

SEE ABOVE PHOTO:

PP DADA IS SITTING HIGHER

Yet at the recent Ananda Nagr summer 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 summer DMS at Ananda Nagar: 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 about photo out on their mailing list.

JACKING HIM UP TO REAP THE BENEFITS

Certain key group leaders and handlers are trying to jack up PP Dada's image in order to reap the benefits. PP Dada is himself a stooge so he has no say in the matter.

IT IS DISRESPECT TO GURU

Everyone should consider and understand that the DMS organisers themselves published  and circulated this photo. Some naive people do not realise that the DMS authorities took this photo have been using it to propagate their event.

This has nothing to do with taking the photo from a particular angle or vantage point. This is the official photo of the event. So this has nothing to do with trick photography - this the real deal. They really did jack up PP Dada above Sadguru Baba's photo.

They gloat that their faction is the real Ananda Marga but look what they are doing.

SEE BELOW THE IDEAL WAY OF DISPLAYING BABA'S PHOTO

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

​

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.


In Him, 
Liila Shankar Yadav

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 bridge and groom. But, this basic ethic the Ananda Nagar summer DMS organisers could not follow.

************************************************************

Dogma Creators:

They Can Prove Day As Night, And Night As Day

Baba says, “There is one defect in jinanis. Two jinanis cannot agree on any point. Among them, many jinanis believe that agreeing means accepting one’s defeat. Indeed there are some godly qualities in jinanis. Such as they can speak in flowery language. Or that with their grandiloguence they can prove day as night, and night as day. If in daytime one jinani tells to anyone that it is night, or if during the night they tell that it is day, and if the next person does not accept what the jinani is telling, then the jinani will use the their logic and reasoning to prove that person as a top-grade fool. And he (the jinani) will make it look like this one simple thing the next person could not understand. Because of this in the sciptures is it said, ‘Mathitva…’ Meaning, that if an unfathomable amoung of milk is turned into butter and whey, then jinanis argue and quarel about the whey and in so doing the butter gets rotten and destroyed.” (varna Victira (H), p. 49-50)

Another Sin By PP Dada

Baba

ANOTHER SIN BY PP DADA

Note: Those who do not care about Ananda Marga ideology and AM teachings should not read this letter. This letter is not for them.

Namaskar,

After seeing the recent brochure where PP Dada is allowing himself to be highlighted (see below), we can all think how far this is consistent with Guru’s teaching.

In Prabhat Samgiita #337, Guru says,

“A’lokera path cha’r’ibo na’…A’mi nijere praca’r karibo na’…”

Here is the purport of this Prabhat Samgiita: 

O’ my Lord, I will not leave Your path of Ananda Marga ideology, the path of effulgence. I will never leave the path which You showed me - i.e. the path of divinity, singing the glory of Parama Purusa. By Your grace, I will change myself according to Your desire. I will make my mind straight, focusing on You & propagating Your glory. I will never glorify my own existence. I will never propagate my own personality. I will never praise myself in front of anyone. O’ Lord You have taught me to propagate Your glory - the glory of Parama Purusa alone. So I will never propagate myself…

Clearly by this Prabhat Samgiita composition, it is understood that Ananda Marga ideology does not appreciate self-praise. Before 1990, no brochure ever featured a cover photo of a dada nor of Baba; this was never done. Instead the ideals were highlighted. This was the dharmic system Sadguru inculcated.

Here Is The Photo

​

By this above photo - according to Ananda Marga philosophy, PP Dada and Dada Rudranandaji are committing sin.

Ideal Societies Never Accept Self Praise

Only in Pseudo-Societies

In fact, in any ideal society self-praise looks ridiculous. People are ridiculed for this. So people refrain from praising themselves.

In contrast, in so-called societies when people have a strong desire to be praised, then they hire some other persons for this task by giving them some payment or post. And they keep those hired persons nearby; and their duty is to praise. This is the regular tactic that is done.

Many ego-centric kings were like that in the past. They kept certain ministers only for the special duty of praising the king. This was the only work of those ministers. 

These days also, many politicians pay money to the newspapers to get their self-glorifying propaganda published. To highlight their own personality politicians do like this.

No Brochure Ever Made Like This

Before 1990, no brochure ever featured a cover photo of a dada; instead the ideals were printed.

So in Ananda Marga, this type of praise is not accepted because the aim in Ananda Marga is to propagate bhagavad dharma - the divine ideals, not mundane things. We are to propagate Parama Purusa because He is the real owner of everything.

Both of These Dadas Are Guilty

Now the unfortunate situation is that Dada Rudranandji wants to praise himself to get more power. So now Dada Rudranandji is propping up PP Dada Vishvadeveananda for his own (Dada Rudrananda’s) power play. So both are guilty in this setting. 

Thus the situation in Ananda Marga is unique. PP Dada himself is a stooge and Dada Rudrananda is propping him up in order to heighten his own [Dada Rudranandaji’s] prestige. But whatever the reason, PP Dada is also a culprit. He cannot be excused; he is not objecting about how this goes against Baba’s teachings. In place of propagating Ananda Marga ideals he allows his image to be placed there. The fact that he himself is a stooge is not an excuse. Rather he likes the adulation of being propped up in front of the people.

“One should not praise oneself or any other person. There are many people who are very fond of praising themselves by telling everyone what wonderful things they have done, but, as mentioned in this sloka, kiirtana is not for one’s own self but for Hari. Even though people are taught to do kiirtana for Hari, they still make the mistake of praising themselves too much. Sometimes their self-praise is so intense that others are obliged to say, “Please stop praising yourself so much.” They forget that their self-applause is rather boring for others. Human beings should realize that no one likes to hear the self-praise of others.” (AV-8)

Namaskar, 

In Him, 

Mahabali Singh
