Faux wts

Note: This letter is only for those who have reverence for Sadguru Baba and try to learn and follow His Ananda Marga ideology.

Namaskar,

Ananda Marga Philosophy says,  “Householders have to care for two families whereas the renunciates have to care for only one. The householders’ two families are their own small family consisting of father, mother, brothers, sisters, husband or wife, sons, daughters, etc. and the larger human family, that is, the entire universe. The householders will have to maintain a balance between both these families.” (1)

http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com/

Ananda Marga Philosophy says,  “The householders will have to look after the larger family as well, but for that they may take the assistance of the sannyasins. Sannyasins do not have a small family of their own – their family is the entire universe. In order to maintain that family they, in turn, may take the help of the householders.” (2)

Wts (proper, bad, worst)

Note: True Wts strictly follow all Guru’s teachings - all Wt conduct rules. That means that when they become a WT, they are to cut all ties and relations with their laokik parents / families. They keep zero connection with them: No phone calls, no talking, and no correspondence - period. This is the way that true Wts conduct themselves - they are A-grade. Nowadays, in our AMPS, such WT workers are in the extreme minority. On estimation, we can say that they comprise less than 24%, conservatively speaking, as the percentage is probably even less than that. That is the unfortunate state of affairs.

2nd grade WTs

B-grade WT workers keep connection with their laokik parents - writing and talking on a regular basis, or less frequently. They are pseudo-Wts as they wholly contravene Guru’s guideline by keeping in contact with their laokik family etc. However, although they communicate with their laokik parents - and are mentally and emotionally attached with them - which is against the code of conduct, at least they are not giving organisational money to their parents. They are 2nd grade WT workers.

Within this B-grade level of Wts who are in attached with their parents, there are two subdivisions. The first thinks that it is wrong and unethical to give money to their laokik families, and that is why they refrain from doing so. They are comparatively better than this next group. Because this next group wishes or would divert organisational money to their parents if their laokik parents needed money. But the fact is that their laokik parents have sufficient financial resources, thus there is no need to give them money. But should the time come that their families needed money, then these Wts would readily give them organisational money etc. These Wts are worse, and all credit goes to the parents for not needing or accepting money because the tendency of such WT workers is to steal money from the organisation for them.

Some are coloured jackals

Lastly, we come to C-grade Wts: They are in attached with their laokik families and funnel huge financial resources to them. We cannot call them as sannyasis - they are coloured jackals. Many of them are holding high posts and wearing avadhuta dress, but they keep attached with their parents, and steal money rampantly from the organisation in order to support their laokik families. They embezzle and co-opt huge funds for their laokik parents and construct large mansions for them. And sometimes those Wts go and stay there as well - and even plan on inheriting that house in the future.

Verily, such degraded Wts do so many favours for their laokik families. They  pay bribes to officials to get jobs for their laokik family members; they  purchase luxury homes for them; and they visit and stay with them as well. Some of these Wts leave their Wt-ship, but then they can no longer reap the benefits. So they are foolish. In contrast, those who are “smart” and cunning remain. They never leave and just treat AMPS as a milching / milking cow - constantly stealing and diverting monies from the organisation. They  keep huge bank balances, walk around in avadhuta dress, have a big post, but internally they are completely black and live deceptive lives - fully engaged in laokik family life, perpetually stealing money from the organisation. And they may keep a girlfriend or boyfriend.

Some wts lead deceptive lives

But do not be surprised. Such C-grade, characterless Wts are rampant - they are everywhere. Certainly you have seen them many times and you will continue to see them again and again. But you may not recognise this fact. However, if you dig a bit deeper you will come to know about their antics. And you will understand that what I am expressing here is 100% correct.

This type of Wt is not limited to a particular group or faction like Kolkata, Ranchi, EC, etc. All factions are involved in this - across the board. Your duty is to find out where their laokik families live and then go and visit or send someone to spy on them and then the truth will be revealed.

Reminiscing about laokik / worldly life is anti-dharmic and against the Wt conduct rules. Because at that time their name and personality were different and they have since gotten a new name and their father, mother, everything has become Guru Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji. Thus if they reminisce in their writings, talks, and discussions about their ex life then it means they are outrightly disobeying Guru’s spiritual commandments. That should always be condemned.

Conclusion

Ananda Marga is akin to a chariot which has two wheels. One wheel is the wt, and other wheel is the family person. The wt has one family, and that is the entire world. The Margii has two families: their unit family, and the entire world. In this critical juncture when our AMPS is not functioning properly, the duty of family Margiis is increased. It is the duty of Margiis to know and have a chart of wt conduct rules. And to constantly watch whether wts are following Guru’s conduct rules. If they are not following, then according to Caryacarya one must bring them onto the right path. In this way, the whole society will be benefitted, by Baba’s grace.

Namaskar,

in Him,

Ananda

Note 1: One sub-standard Wt
One sub-standard Wt recently wrote like this in their blog. Here substandard means not following Guru’s guideline which they have taken the vow to follow. And based on that vow they have been granted the sannyasi dress whereby margiis of the whole universe respect them for their dedication and following Guru’s commandment. But this Wt betrays Guru and fellow Ananda Margiis as well by not adhering to the acarya, Wt, avadhutika / avadhuta rules. Here purposely the name has not been mentioned.
This is a moderate, anecdotal example of contravention of WT rules. There are many severe and extreme cases which are not enlisted here. Directly below is what this Wt wrote:
I now treasure the countless experiences with my father, who took me nearly every weekend, sometimes alone and sometimes with my siblings, on adventures in nature. Sometimes we rode our with bicycles through cranberry bogs, sometimes we drifted silently in a boat through a cypress filled swamp, sometimes learning to recognize deer tracks in the forest. We rarely spoke during those times, as my father was

Feelings of A-grade bhakta

"A'mi toma'y keno bha'loba'si..."  (Prabhat Samgiita #1891)

Purport:

O' Parama Purusa, when I ask myself why I have fallen in love with You - and why I cry for Your proximity and smile in joy when I get You - and when I pose all these questions to my mind, then I do not get any answer. Just this loving feeling for You is beyond my capacity to explain. It is Your liila.

O' Parama Purusa, I love You - even then You do not look towards me. And when composing Your love songs then You do not use those songs to communicate with me. Why I love You, I do not know - neither You look towards me nor do You share the feeling of Your heart through the medium of Your songs. Indeed You do not do anything that touches the inner feeling of my heart. I am unable to make the bouquet of flowers blossom that resides in the inner core of my heart. It is so painful.

In the pre-winter evening I think about You; in the moonlit night of the spring season I see Your image. In that way secretly and silently I go on painting Your glory. And at the same time I listen to Your flute in my heart.

O' Parama Purusa why I love You I do not know. And when I ask myself why I have fallen in love with You, I cannot find any reason or logic. Just by Your grace it has happened - my heart is longing for You & and I laugh and cry for You. Baba Your liila unfathomable...

Note: It is the common human experience that when anyone comes across anything beautiful, then they like to share that with those whom they love. That is why in those attractive seasons pre-winter and spring, when the weather is perfect, then automatically the bhakta wishes that such beauty could be shared with their beloved.

Sad Proof: Delhi Prout preaches Marxism

Namaskár,

A growing trend in Delhi Prout is to propagate communism and portray it as a saviour from the demon of capitalism. Take for instance the article “How Capitalism Fosters Bullying” published on page 33 of Prout English magazine’s December 2016 issue. The article has been copied from a communist website verbatim and has no Proutist analysis. Yet, the article appears in the Prout magazine. One can see in the highlighted portion of the below image, how the article is praising Marx and his philosophy.

http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com/

Above is the snapshot of page 33 of the December 2016 issue of Prout magazine. The highlighted portion shows how the article is praising Marx and his philosophy.

Both capitalism and communism are detrimental

A vast majority of people do not read Bábá’s books. They rely only on books written by Dádás. It is very important to read Bábá’s books as well as incorporate His teachings in one’s own life to internalize His philosophy. Those who do not internalize His philosophy are but “so-called Proutists.” Such so-called Proutists, due to their superficial understanding of Prout, make many ideological mistakes. According to one such, widely mistaken understanding of ideology people think that as Prout is against capitalism the ones who oppose capitalism are the friends of Proutists. By that flawed logic, the communists are also friends of Proutists as communists are strong opponents of capitalists. However, Bábá in numerous places has pointed out that both capitalism and communism are materialistic philosophies and turn humans into animals. Thus, the understanding that communists, being enemies of capitalists, are friends of Prout, is flawed. According to AM ideology, both capitalism and communism are detrimental to human progress and the only way to goad humanity to its goal of Parama Puruśa is Prout.

Bábá says, “Both capitalism and communism have failed to provide the proper ideological inspiration and desideratum to human beings. In the interests of the welfare of humanity, these systems should be replaced. PROUT is against the exploitation by capitalism and the false dogma of communism as both are detrimental to the all-round progress of human beings. You have to fight against all sorts of corruption, meanness and so-called secularism if Parama Puruśa is the goal. Only then will you be able to maintain adjustment with this objective world.” (1)

Harms of propagating communism in the garb of Prout

The editors of Delhi Prout magazine are publishing copied articles from communist aligned websites and thereby are offering the communist ideal to the readers in the garb of Prout.  This is very harmful as instead of educating the masses to solve the burning socio-political issues using the teachings of Prout, the Prout magazine is misleading the masses with the outdated communist teachings. The reality is that the editors of Prout themselves are confused that Prout is the same as communism. No wonder, therefore, that the editors are misleading the readers.

Missing a great opportunity

Bábá always emphasizes the need for magazines and periodicals to propagate the teachings of AM. Philosophy for general people is often a dry subject. However, when philosophy is applied to day-to-day life events then it begins to make sense. Bábá has provided this opportunity to Márgiis of making Prout teachings available to the masses. He wants that Márgiis should comment on the burning socio-political issues in the light of Prout and thereby make people aware of His teachings. However, the editors of Prout who are entrusted with this work are not utilizing this opportunity.

Bábá gets His work done regardless. Back in the 1950’s Bábá spoke about the need for equal rights for women in India. Many non-márgii organizations have contributed and have made progress in equal rights for women. Likewise, Bábá’s work of bringing forth ecological balance has been executed by non-márgiis. If we do not grab the opportunity someone else will. As disciples of Sadguru Bábá we must live up to His teachings and do His work. If the Prout magazine editors do not do their work properly, they will miss the opportunity and someone else will do it.

Conclusion

Delhi Prout is entrusted with propagating the ideals of the Progressive Utilization Theory (PROUT) by means of publishing news and views on the happenings in the world in light of PROUT. It is however very sad that instead of propagating the ideals of PROUT all that Delhi Prout magazine is involved in is the copying of articles verbatim from various websites, often the communist-oriented ones. The mistaken thinking of our Delhi Prout editors is that as communism opposes capitalism, Prout is the same as communism. This, however, is  completely wrong. Both communism and capitalism are materialistic philosophies and are detrimental to society. Prout, on the other hand, is based on spirituality and is the only way to progress in the collective sphere. Bábá always emphasizes the use of print media to propagate AM ideals. PROUT is the socio-economic part of Bábá’s spiritual philosophy and Bábá has provided us the opportunity to make the masses aware of Prout. If we do not do this great and exalted work ourselves, Bábá will give this work to someone else.

At His Lotus Feet,

Bhakti

O' human being, with the invitation of bliss on this….

"A’nanderi ei nimantrańe, tumi eká kándo keno, base..." (Prabhat Samgiita #1971)

Purport:

O' human being, with the invitation of bliss on this auspicious occasion, everyone is dancing and the whole atmosphere is filled with the fragrance of flowers. Everything in this entire universe has become charged with such a divine and spiritual vibration. Mahasambhuti Baba has taken advent and brought forth a new ideology. In this joyous moment of the advent of the Divine Entity, why are you crying alone in an isolated corner? Why are you not joining everyone in the blissful celebration of this grand festival. O’ human being, you should come and join everyone on this exquisite occasion.

Today, everyone is dancing in laughter and joy. The waves are also dancing on the ocean. Even the molecules and atoms are dancing. For whose longing are you remaining aloof. Why are you keeping yourself by the wayside? The day is full of new vigour and a divine vibration.

O' human being, there is no need for hopelessness and despair. Parama Purusa Baba, the Creator of the universe, is also yours. That very Entity Who is very sweet and Who is helping everyone and Who loves all, that very Divine Entity Baba also loves You. And you are also His.

O' human being, why are you feeling helpless and passing the days in a dark corner. Come join together with all on this unique celebration...

Distortion: False things about samadhi in AM books

Baba

Distortion: False things about samadhi in AM books

Namaskar,

All senior margiis know about those special demonstrations given by Baba in 1969-70, and also that He performed other demonstrations before and after 1969-70 as well. This is also described in certain discourses on samadhi published in the Ananda Marga Philosophy in a Nutshell (part 5). Those discourses are related with the samadhi demonstrations of 1969 in Ranchi. And the publishers included a description of those demonstrations in the printed discourse. Unfortunately, those insertions create a lot of confusion.
http://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

For instance, in the chapter "Ra'ga'nuga'  Ra'ga'tmika' Sama'dhi", on page 324, the description of the demonstration (appended below) gives the message that such-and-such person got samadhi. That makes it look like the sadhaka got samadhi due to his own efforts. But, the truth is that Sadguru Baba blessed that person with samadhi. The sadhaka did not do anything per se - on their own. Just it was Guru’s causeless grace.


Baba demonstrated samadhi on x, y, z sadhakas

So the key point is that the participant did not acquire samadhi by dint of their own efforts in sadhana. But the description inserted into the Ananda Marga Philosophy Nutshell book gives the notion that those sadhakas got samadhi by their own efforts and gains in sadhana. So again, here lies the serious distortion of fact: Because the undisputed truth is that Parama Purusa Baba graciously bestowed samadhi to that sadhaka. It is most unfortunate the writer hid the truth, for whatever reason. Now it is incumbent on us to fix this. Otherwise it will be an injustice to all those future generations of readers.

Often those subjects selected for the demonstration were not very elevated souls. Rather many of them ended up leaving Ananda Marga. From this one can easily deduce that those demonstrations were given by Baba for the purpose of imparting a teaching to the society. Those demonstrations were not dependent upon one's individual elevation, merit, or their spiritual standard.

Baba chose those people to show that even xyz persons can experience samadhi. If only great sadhakas were used in demonstrations then the common people would think that those grand spiritual realisations were beyond their reach. Yet when they saw local people and commoners experiencing the divine force, they gained the requisite conviction and felt that they too could reach to those heights, by His grace. Only firmness in Guru is needed. So there was tremendous benefit in Baba’s selection of such persons.


Why Baba has given samadhi demonstrations on x, y, z sadhakas

The question is why Baba opted to give demonstration on samadhi. When Mahasambhuti Sadguru propounds any philosophy then He gives both a well-knit, logical, philosophical side and the practical side as well - i.e. a demonstration. Without that people will not be able to believe that samadhi really exists. So if Baba would not have given demonstrations of all those different samadhis, then many would not have believed that samadhi is something real or attainable. The demonstrations were needed to teach one and all that spiritual realisation is not just something theoretical. That is why in 1969 Baba presented this part of His spiritual philosophy by giving various demonstrations.

As we know, the main cause of getting samadhi is His causeless grace. That is how aspirants receive samadhi - regardless of the level of attainment. Without the grace of Parama Purusa one cannot advance in the spiritual realm. Yet, this very basic truth has been undermined by the way they inserted the descriptions of those demonstrations. Because those descriptions have been written as if the sadhaka attained that samadhi exclusively by their own efforts. When, in reality, it was all due to Baba’s divine grace.

Still there are hundreds of senior margiis around the globe who can bear witness to the fact that these samadhis were only done by Baba - HE graced them to happen. Senior margiis watched on countless occasions when Baba took His stick and touched those sadhakas. And the end result was that all those x, y, z persons got samadhi in the way He desired. All these facts are known today. But we should not forget that tomorrow, that means after 80 years, then most of the persons who were witness to those demonstrations will no longer be present. Then these false narrations of demonstrations from Ananda Marga Philosophy in a Nutshell will be treated as truth, ie. wrong will be accepted as right.

Readers will not know the fact that Baba was directly behind all these samadhis. The future society will be deprived of this cosmic truth that Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji has given such demonstrations, and that this was the way in which He played His divine liila.


Conclusion

Those who do not have proper bhakti may think this is one ordinary matter. But those who have bhakti can easily think that the distortion of truth is detrimental and harmful. But on this higher-most spiritual teaching, how can we accept this distortion in our own Ananda Marga scriptures.

So these improper narrations about samadhi which have been inserted into Ananda Marga Philosophy in a Nutshell should be fixed without any delay. They should be rewritten to express the beautiful way in which Baba graced His ordinary x, y, z disciples with samadhi. Otherwise it is harmful and misleading and, the more time that goes by it will become increasingly difficult to correct.

Ananda Marga philosophy states, "In the realm of dharma, the only true guide and controller, motivating force and protector of the people, is an excellent and comprehensive ideology which provides definite clear-cut and bold directions for all aspects of human life-- from one's personal daily routine to one's social activities and collective motivation, to the spiritual inspiration which brings one closer to God. A scripture which does not fulfill these conditions is not worthy of being called a scripture at all...Thus the Scriptures containing spiritual injunctions must be totally flawless." (1)

In Him,
Namaskar,
Gurucharan
http://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

~ In-depth study ~

Those samadhi subjects were ordinary people

In many instances, after getting nirvikalpa samadhi during a demonstration, that person left Ananda Marga. And many of them were not believing in Ananda Marga ideology. Because in 1971 when Baba went to jail some of those very samadhi guinea pigs were propagating to general margiis that, "Look, now Baba has lost His power." This was the standard of those subjects of samadhi. It can easily be deduced that these samadhi demonstrations were given by Baba with the explicit purpose to teach the society that samadhi is real. Samadhi can be achieved by anyone when a person’s mind is high, by His grace.

And to prove this point, often these participants were not very elevated souls, and Baba graciously granted them samadhi for a very short period. After that they gradually returned to their normal state of mind. Great sadhakas could get samadhi anyway, so Baba chose ordinary people as a sampling for samadhi demonstrations so everyone can understand that even ordinary x, y, z can get samadhi if they are sincere in sadhana and get the divine grace of Parama Purusa.

It is just like one drama on stage. If one character is using the dress of a king then that character is the king for a few hours or a few minutes. And when the drama is over, then he is his usual self. A similar thing happened with those sadhana demonstrations. The main role was Baba: He selected x, y, z persons and with His direct grace He elevated them for a few minutes or hours and granted them samadhi. That was the demonstration.

The central idea is that the whole credit goes to Baba - not to certain x, y, z, individuals. But unfortunately that part has been discarded from our Ananda  Marga Philosophy book.

Bogus: x, y, z achieved samadhi due to their own efforts

Here below is a description of the demonstration as it was wrongly presented in the book, Ananda Marga Philosophy in a Nutshell part 5.

“On May 10, 1969, at Ranchi jagriti, a sádhaka attained rágátmika samádhi. He sat in dhyánásana and with his mind concentrated on each cakra, and began to do dhyána on the supreme object of ideation. He realized that each of his cakras is being controlled by his Iśt́a. Not only that he felt also that his Iśt́a is perceptibly present in his blood, nerves, indriyas, etc. He began to take deep breaths. After remaining in that state, he started to roll on the ground.” (2)

The above described demonstration has been inserted into the book, Ananda Marga Philosophy in a Nutshell part 5. And this inserted description of a samadhi demonstration makes it look like the sadhaka achieved samadhi due to his own efforts. But, the truth is that Sadguru Baba blessed that person with samadhi. The sadhaka did nothing; the sadhaka was meditating on Baba. Here in the above quote ista means Baba. Baba graciously granted samadhi upon the sadhaka.

So this inserted paragraph gives readers a false impression that the sadhaka was really great and that is why he got samadhi. Yet, the truth is opposite. It is unfortunate that such descriptions have been inserted into our spiritual shastra. Those insertions should be corrected.

False display: AM books must be fixed

We know those good bhaktas who are with us today may not be with us in 10, 20, 40, or 100 years into the future. So with full heart and energy, we should move ahead at the earliest and ensure that those descriptions of Baba's demonstrations are recorded properly. For such a great and important work that is so intimately related with Baba's grace, there brooks no delay.

Ananda Marga ideology states, "I have learnt that whenever you wish to perform a noble deed, do it immediately. Do today whatever you propose to do tomorrow. "Shubhasya shiighram ashubhasya ka'laharan'am.”” (3)
