Perilous marriage

Namaskar,

There are numerous marriages where margiis have married non-margiis. And still this is going on. As Sadguru Baba has clearly addressed this matter we should be aware of the stand of Ananda Marga teachings on this issue. And everyone should be aware about the pitfalls and ramifications.

Marriage is like two wheels of a vehicle

Married couples are like two wheels of a vehicle, and the whole vehicle is their unit family. So a married couple has to carry and share the responsibility in a proper way. If one wheel is yanked off the automobile and a replacement wheel is taken from a bullock cart, you can imagine the situation. Will the vehicle be mobile? Never, or only after pushing it; and if it does move a little, it will never be smooth. Rather, the journey will be bumpy and tortuous.

For successful margii family life, the married couple should be complementary to one another. That means both should be on the path of Ananda Marga, otherwise it will not work. If any sincere margii brother marries a non-margii sister, or vice-versa, their life together will never be facile or fully functional. It will be akin to placing a wheel from a bullock cart on an automobile. It will not run properly, and it might not move at all.


How could a non-margii take marriage oath

In marriage, Baba has given the mantra and meaning, which is treated as an oath. The mantra begins with the following vow; first the groom repeats it and then the bride.

Ananda Marga Caryacarya marriage vow says, "I say on oath in the name of Parama Brahma and Marga Gurudeva that out of my own free will I will accept Shriimatii / Ms. ... as my wife." (1)

In this above quote, the oath is taken "In the name of Parama Brahma and Marga Gurudeva." Here the point is that if the oath taker does not believe in Marga Gurudeva, then taking an oath in His name has no meaning for that person. To take an oath in someone's name, one must have adoration for that person or entity.

For example, if one margii takes oath in the name of Marga Gurudeva, then that has deep meaning. Because the margii has heartfelt feeling for Baba, our Marga Guru. But if that same margii takes an oath in the name of Allah, Jesus, or Hanuman, then what will be the sense of that when the margii has no feeling for them.

Similarly, if a non-margii brother or sister takes the oath on the name of Marga Gurudeva, then what meaning will that have when they themselves do not feel that Baba is their Guru. If they had the feeling that Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji is their Guru then they would have taken initiation. Without that, it is just hypocritical to take an oath in Marga Guru's name. Officially on paper the oath can be done, but in the real sense no oath has been taken.

Without faith on Sadguru oath is fake

In the tantra of Ananda Marga, an oath is taken very seriously. One must have a deep feeling, connection, and commitment to take an oath. Moreover, here we are talking about marriage, a lifelong vow and duty. So the marriage oath is an important matter. It must not be taken on the name of one entity for which one has no feeling. Otherwise that is just hypocrisy.

This marriage oath is Baba's clear-cut injunction on marriage. Because this oath is being taken on the name of Marga Gurudeva. And as is already stated, when one has no heartfelt feeling or adoration for Marga Gurudeva, then that oath has no meaning. So this oath is very direct, and it is given directly by Baba. A non-margii cannot take or live up to this oath.

On this basis, it is proven that both parties intending to marry within the Ananda Marga marriage system must be initiated margiis who accept Baba as their Guru.

The Ananda Marga marriage oath continues, "I take upon myself all the responsibility for her food, clothes, education, medical care, etc, from today". (2)

The groom has to take this vow first, and then the bride does the same.


Non-margii spouses have other allegiance

If a non-margii takes this vow of responsibility for the neohumanistic, dogma-free education of their spouse, then how are they going to fulfill that vow? Already their own mind is coloured with all the dogma of some religious or materialistic outlook, then whatever education they provide to their spouse will be colored by that dogma. The non-margii cannot fulfill the marriage oath of providing a dogma-free education to their spouse. So as a non-margii, this part of the oath too has no meaning.

On this point of education, the worst thing will be if a program is being held at a mosque, or church, or pseudo-culture party and side by side there is an event at the jagrti on the same day. The non-margii spouse will like to go to their chosen event, and the margii will want to go to the jagrti. Each will like to bring the other to their preferred site, and in result the house will become a battlefield. This will be multiplied if their child is involved in this tug-of war.

Not only that, one day there will be a religious festival or materialistic carnival, and the non-margii will like to bring their margii spouse to join them at this non-veg feast. Yet that will be against the marriage vow. Baba has given the point of neo-humanistic education in the marriage vow, and non-veg food goes against neo-humanism. Plus, the point of food is also included in this same marriage vow.

Quarrel on food choices

The married couple vows to take responsibility for each other's food and nutritional needs. ("I take upon myself all the responsibility for his / her food..." (3)

And in Ananda Marga way of life, one essential aspect is taking sentient food. So convincing your spouse to attend a non-veg event is contrary to our Ananda Marga marriage vows. On this point, the non-margii wife will be unable to fulfill her vow.

And the margii brother will be similarly unable to fulfill his vow to educate and take care of food of his non-margii wife. Because she will not accept his efforts to bring her to the path of neohumanism, preferring instead to pursue her dogmatic practices. Plus, as his non-margii wife is a meat-eater taking onion and garlic, the margii brother will be unable to bring her to the path of vegetarianism and sentient food.  And the same is true if the wife is a margii and the husband is a non-margii.

So altogether this entire oath will be a disaster. Again this first oath states, "I take upon myself all the responsibility for his / her food, clothes, education, medical care, etc, from today". (4)

But when margii and non-margii marry, the key aspects of food and education cannot be attended to properly between the two parties. Rather, crucial differences between the margii brother and the non-margii sister - and vice versa - are likely to lead to ongoing scuffles and clashes on these central points of food and education. Due to which, the household will be disrupted and will not function well. Indeed there will be terrible emotional angst and pain, and the arguing and intensity will multiply when they have children.


Mismatched marriage ruins mental peace

The next section of the marriage oath concerns mental progress.

According to Caryacarya, the groom must vow that, "I will be vigilant in every way to safeguard her mental peace and ensure her mental progress from today." (5)

For mental progress in Ananda Marga, the main point is to study Baba's books and learn Ananda Marga philosophy. But here, a non-margii spouse is not going to take interest. Having refused to take initiation, he or she will not have any regard for Guru's teachings. So that margii is destined to be frustrated in their efforts to see to their spouse's mental progress.

Similarly, the non-margii must take a vow to attend to the margii spouse’s mental progress. They must take the oath on Baba's name that, "I will be vigilant in every way to safeguard his mental peace and ensure his mental progress from today." (6) But when that non-margii is not familiar with Ananda Marga ideals, then how are they going to ensure their spouse’s progress.

A non-margii wife will not encourage her margii husband to read Ananda Marga books etc. Rather it is likely that she will sidetrack him away from Ananda Marga ideals. And same is the case if the husband is a non-margii and the wife is a margii. So in this sphere of mental progress, neither the margii will be able to fulfill their vows
toward their non-margii spouse, nor will the non-margii spouse be able to fulfill their vows toward their margii husband.


Fake vow

And the last part of the Ananda Marga marriage vows concerns spiritual progress. The margii must state, "I say on oath in the name of Parama Brahma and Marga Gurudeva that...I will be vigilant in every way to ensure [their] spiritual progress from today." (7)

Here it is obvious that the main factor in spiritual progress is to do kiirtan and sadhana with full love and bhakti for Guru Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji. Yet a non-margii spouse is not going to do kiirtan or sadhana when already they have refused to take initiation. So in that condition how will the margii be able to be vigilant to ensure any spiritual progress for their spouse, which they have taken a vow to do?

And the non-margii must take an oath on Baba's name that they will "be vigilant in every way to ensure their spouse’s spiritual progress from today." (8)

It is quite obvious that a non-margii having no interest in sadhana will be unable to have concern for the spiritual practices like kiirtan and sadhana of their margii mate. Rather generally, the opposite occurs. The non-margii spouse opposes the time spent in spiritual practice.

So we have seen that in the spiritual sphere, as well as in the physical and psychic spheres, the margii will be unable to ensure for the well-being of the their non-margii spouse, and the non-margii spouse will likewise be unable to watch for the well-being of the margii. In this setting, when that non-margii has no faith in Baba or in the 16 points, then for such a couple to take the marriage vows, which Baba has given in Caryacarya, are basically meaningless.


Conclusion

For the above-stated reasons, we can understand by the very meaning of the Ananda Marga marriage oaths, that Baba has given direct injunction that only margiis - only a margii groom and a margii bride - should be permitted to take these vows. Those not established on the path of tantra and Ananda Marga will never be able to live up to the ideal of those marriage vows. As His disciples we should be keen to help and guide people in this way.

Here Baba shows us what will be the fate of those who enter into unmatched marriages, i.e. marrying non-margiis.

Ananda Marga philosophy states, "Feeling of dislike takes place through the word jhanjhan. The wife of a certain gentleman that I knew was quite ill-mannered. One winter evening I saw this gentleman sitting quietly at the foot of a tree. I asked him: “Why are you sitting under this tree on a winter evening? You'll freeze.” He replied: “You know, my young friend, if I go in the house I'll hear only khankhan jhanhan. It's a lot more peaceful out here.”" (9)

Namaskar,
In Him,
Vidya’

Thievery: Ananda Margiis vs materialists

Ananda Marga ideology states, "Those who have attained the kámamaya kośa will say that it is not proper to steal since, if we steal, others may also steal from us. This is the trend of thought of the materialists. Their thinking is distorted with selfishness. One should not steal for the sake of keeping the mind pure. That is the correct approach." (1)

Note: Materialists as well as followers of certain religions think that, “If I steal from others then they might steal from me. For this reason, I should not steal from them.” Or they may think, “I should not steal otherwise I may get arrested.” This is their reasoning.

Upon careful analysis it is evident that selfishness is the operative factor. That is the motivation why those followers do not steal. So this type of approach is not asteya. Upon superficial view it may look like asteya, but it is not asteya. Because it is goaded by selfishness and still the tendency exists to steal.

In our Ananda Marga, our approach is radically different. A sadhaka thinks that, “I do not need anything other than Parama Purusa. The goal of human life is to realise Him. So I should always goad my mental energy towards Parama Purusa - not towards mundane things, let alone someone else’s worldly possessions. That is why I do not even have the desire to steal anything.” This approach is wholly devoid of selfishness. This comes within the realm of asteya, and that is what ideal Ananda Margiis follow.

Here are more reasons:

• We do not steal because by committing theft the mind is adversely affected. And first and foremost we want to keep the mind pure.
• One step above that is, “Because Parama Purusa does not want me to steal, that is why I do not steal.”

In Him,
Tattva Deva

Example how ritualistic devotion is sham / penance

Ananda Marga ideology says, “People’s life becomes mechanical, if they are overwhelmed with the sentiment that they must do such acts, must perform such yajiṋa, must rise in this manner and sit in this manner and get up in this manner and so on. Such a person is not happy and this type of ritualism cannot be called real Karma. To serve others at one’s sacrifice is called penance. In the absence of love any service or penance is for show and is therefore fruitless. All ritualistic devotion, sham penance, counting beads etc. are meant only for public show and true love and the Supreme goal are lost from sight. Brahma cannot be attained through actions, since the sweetness of joy is lacking in such ritualism. On the other hand the divine bliss is easily attainable to those who base their Sádhaná on love.” (1)

When education becomes deadly + 3 more

Baba

When education becomes deadly

Namaskar,

Here following is one key teaching from Baba about how those who accrue knowledge, without the spirit of welfare, pollute their own mind, and endanger the greater society.

Ananda Marga philosophy states, "The endeavour to assimilate things in the spiritual world is harmless and blameless. And the attempt to assimilate something [get university degree] in the psychic world, if it is directed towards the welfare of humanity, is also harmless. Otherwise, it pollutes the minds of people and makes them intolerant: it leads to conflicts between dogmas and theories and degrades people to the level of animality." (1)

Why people look upon others with suspicion, fear, ambivalence, hatred, & skepticism

Most are increasing their intellectual capacity so they can gain the upper hand to achieve their selfish agenda. With their insatiable hunger for acquiring more, people are hoarding psychic wealth. Out of greed, they harm innocent people. This leads to conflicts. There is a blatant lack of concern for others - what to speak of the high ideals of selflessness and sacrifice. Those ideals are essentially absent.

For these reasons, people have literally lost their regard for their fellow human beings. They look upon others with suspicion, fear, ambivalence, hatred, jealousy, and skepticism. All trust is gone. That is the unfortunate trend of this modern era. And again the chief cause is one: Acquiring knowledge devoid of welfare motive and using that for selfish endeavors.

Bear in mind, knowledge is very important. One should learn. When accompanied by a benevolent intention, that knowledge can be used to help others do great things on this earth. However, when goaded by self-interest, that same knowledge will only harm society. In that case, knowledge is dangerous. Those who thirst after knowledge for selfish reasons are deadly. That is the main problem on this globe nowadays - knowledge for selfish pursuits leads to conflicts in the form of war, exploitation, and the imposition of harmful doctrines. These poisons are engineered by demons who have a lot of knowledge but are extremely selfish and crooked. They are the cause of countless massacres, and much bloodshed and infighting.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Beware of intellectuals who acquire knowledge without any service mentality; they are very dangerous. That is the teaching of Ananda Marga philosophy. We should be careful.

Conclusion

Ananda Marga philosophy states, "The endeavour to assimilate things in the spiritual world is harmless and blameless. And the attempt to assimilate something in the psychic world, if it is directed towards the welfare of humanity, is also harmless. Otherwise, it pollutes the minds of people and makes them intolerant: it leads to conflicts between dogmas and theories and degrades people to the level of animality." (1)

Baba’s main teaching is that if anyone acquires knowledge and studies in order to serve others then that is great. However, those devoid of a service mentality gain knowledge to establish themselves, cheat others, and show their grandiloquence in debates and discussions. They will prove day as night and night as day for their selfish agenda. Such persons harm the society terribly. Their main goal is to establish themselves by stepping on others. In His book on neo-humanism, Baba has named such persons as “demons in human form.” Nowadays, there is no dearth of such people in AMPS, unfortunately. They have created all kinds of dogma and done so much harm. If you look around you will find some in your area, or unit, or country. Beware of such people.

(Rachel Kaiser)

For bad people education becomes deadly

There are three spheres of human life: physical, psychic, and spiritual. As per Baba’s teachings, people may accumulate in all three realms according to the following parameters:

(A) Physical accumulation: Everyone should accumulate enough in physical realm so they can meet the minimum requirements of life. Any accumulation beyond that needs to be done with the approval of the collective body.

(B) Spiritual accumulation: The spiritual field is also infinite and as one makes progress in this realm, they will be better able to apply their knowledge for self-realisation (a’tma’ moks’a) and the welfare of humanity.

(C) Psychic accumulation: The psychic world is infinite and people should be encouraged to accumulate psychic wealth in the form of knowledge based on a service motive of helping others. Failing that, devoid of any service motive, the knowledge gain will be harmful for all. For example, many do not have service motive but even then they acquire knowledge, but due to lack of service motive they start harming others. For example, take the cases of selfish, degrading, and harmful dealings by terrorists, scammers, cheaters, and exploiters etc. Due to a lack of service motive, such anti-social elements misuse their knowledge for preying on innocent people causing much pain and suffering. Their debased actions harm millions of people every year.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Acquiring knowledge devoid of any welfare motive

In His above teaching, Baba clearly warns us that when people gain knowledge [get university degree] goaded by self-interest and not the motive of welfare, the outcome is extremely harmful. That is the main guideline which Baba has expressed above. Tragically, that is what we see happening in this modern era.

This earth has become "poisonous", where people have lost faith in their fellow humans. The root cause is one: Assimilating ideas without the spirit of welfare, i.e. acquiring knowledge for a selfish agenda, devoid of concern for others.

In their persistent quest for expansion, people are gaining more and more knowledge. Yet when that knowledge is not fortified with a benevolent outlook and a welfare motive, it is misused. People are employing their brains and intellect for harming, cheating, and deceiving others. In result, this earth has become unlivable for the common person. The chief cause: the acquisition of knowledge devoid of any welfare motive, just for selfish ends.

~ In-depth study ~

The person who is most responsible for this type of demonic behaviour is Osama bin Laden. With his knowledge and oratory skills he popularised the dastardly approach of using suicide bombers to kill thousands of innocent civilians.


False propaganda by priest: poverty is a result of their previous life misdeeds

   Ananda Marga philosophy states, “How far is relative knowledge acceptable to human society? As long as there is no conflict between absolute knowledge and relative knowledge, relative knowledge may be tolerated, but the moment relative knowledge does more harm than good to society, it should not be allowed to work in society, because by taking advantage of relative knowledge opportunists get the scope to exploit the psychological weakness of human beings. For example, the concept of selfless action in the Giita and the theory of the migration of souls have been interpreted in such an unscientific way that the society is greatly harmed. The boot-licking Vipras of the capitalist trick the hungry Shúdras or workers into believing that poverty is a result of their previous misdeeds. Hence they will have to be prepared to wait until their next life before receiving the inexorable decree of fate. This makes a group of people passive fatalists. On the other hand, it paves the way for the ruthless exploitation of the capitalists.”
   “Once a reputed professor of Calcutta made a statement which became popular amongst Indian students that the beef-eating race enjoys independent political life. Many enthusiastic students were misguided by that. Today in the communist countries of the world thousands of people are being killed in the name of communism.”
   “So the value of relative knowledge should be assessed in the light of universal humanism. If relative knowledge promotes universal humanism, it will be tolerated by the society, but once it goes against the spirit of universal humanism, it will forfeit the right to exist.” (2)


Education without the spirit of welfare is dangerous

Ananda Marga philosophy states, "The degree of intolerance has increased immeasurably. People have lost faith in their fellow human beings; one state has lost faith in other states. In all spheres of life these days, people think one thing, say another thing, and do something entirely different. That is, hypocrisy is now at its peak. Now the question is: What is the motivation behind this? It is the tendency to assimilate ideas [get university degree] without the spirit of welfare.” (3)


Case incident: Demon in human form

In the above posting, Baba points out how those who acquire knowledge, without a service motive and spiritual outlook, will misuse that knowledge to inflict untold harm upon humanity. And that is exactly what is displayed in this below news article. The key person, devilish Adam Jones, is using his oratory skills, film techniques, and communications talents to misguide millions about his conspiracy theories. With his heinous logic, he labels real incidents as false and blames the victims as fake - and mocks and tortures them. And his blind followers believe his every word. It does not end here it turns deadly also. All this and more is described in the below newspaper article.

In 2012, a horrific shooting took place at an elementary school where 20 children and 6 teachers were murdered in a mass shooting. This is a well-documented incident and declared as a national day of mourning etc. But, for his monetary gain, one liar and swindler named Adam Jones completely distorted the facts and convinced his followers that this mass murder incident was just some type of staged ploy to take away your guns. And Jones’s blind followers embraced those false claims as truth. And they started threatening those parents who lost their kids that they will attack them. And that he blames those grieving parents as being mere actors.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

This is a classic example of the type of demon in human form Baba is warning us about.

May 23, 2018
WASHINGTON — After the body of Jesse Lewis, age 6, was recovered from his classroom at Sandy Hook Elementary School, his father, Neil Heslin, cradled him for a final time. At the top of Jesse’s forehead was the gunshot wound that ended his life. “It meant a lot to be able to see him,” Mr. Heslin said in an interview. “When he was born, I was the first to see him, and I was the last one to hold him.”

Alex Jones, an online conspiracy theorist whose InfoWars website is viewed by millions, seized on this agonizing recollection to repeat the bizarre falsehood that the 2012 shooting that killed 20 first graders and six adults at the elementary school in Newtown, Conn., was an elaborate hoax invented by government-backed “gun grabbers.”
On his radio show, Mr. Jones said Mr. Heslin needed to clarify “because the coroner said no, the parents weren’t allowed to have touched the kids or have seen the kids.” He played a video in which the InfoWars “reporter” Owen Shroyer says of Mr. Heslin, “He’s claiming that he held his son and saw the bullet hole in his head.”
“That is not possible,” Mr. Shroyer said.
More than five years after one of the most horrific mass shootings in modern history, the families of Sandy Hook victims are still enduring daily threats and online abuse from people who believe bogus theories spread by Mr. Jones, whom President Trump has praised for his “amazing” reputation….

...Now, for the first time, the families are confronting Mr. Jones in court.
“When anybody’s behind a machine, whether it’s a gun or a computer or a car, a dehumanization takes place that makes it easier to commit an act of violence,” Veronique De La Rosa, the mother of Noah Pozner, another victim, said in an interview. She is suing Mr. Jones, she said, because she wants to force him to admit to his devotees that “he peddled a falsehood, that Sandy Hook is real and that Noah was a real, living, breathing little boy who deserved to live out the rest of his life.”...

...Sandy Hook families have been followed, videotaped and harassed by people demanding “proof” that their loved ones died. Monuments to the slain children in Newtown have been stolen and defaced. An Alex Jones devotee went to prison last year after phoning and emailing Leonard Pozner, Noah’s father, with death threats, including “LOOK BEHIND YOU IT IS DEATH.” The family relocated to a gated community with 24-hour security. Their daughters, who survived the shooting, check doors and windows before going to bed, and sleep with the lights on….

 ...In an earlier video on his website, titled “Alex Jones Final Statement on Sandy Hook,” he says: “If children were lost in Sandy Hook, my heart goes out to each and every one of those parents, and the people that say they’re parents that I see on the news. The only problem is, I’ve watched a lot of soap operas, and I’ve seen actors before.”...

...Mr. Jones exhorts his followers to investigate what they call “false flags,” events concocted by the government or other powerful entities determined to usurp citizens’ rights. Mr. Jones issued a rare apology last year after spreading a fake story that Mrs. Clinton and Democratic operatives were running a child pornography ring inside a Washington pizzeria, which had led Edgar M. Welch, a Jones listener, to enter the pizzeria in 2016 with an assault-style rifle, firing it. No one was hurt, and Mr. Welch is now serving a four-year prison term.
Last year, InfoWars posted a video on its website with the headline “Idaho Yogurt Maker Caught Importing Migrant Rapists,” falsely claiming that a Chobani factory in Twin Falls, Idaho, that employs refugees was connected to the 2016 sexual assault of a child. The charges fueled an uproar in the town, and Chobani sued Mr. Jones. As part of a settlement, Mr. Jones admitted on his radio show that he had “mischaracterized” Chobani, and retracted the false material…. (Courtesy of The New York Times)

They misguide not only thousands, but millions

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Those who are demons in human structure are all in categorical forms [fall into various categories]. Although these structures, these frameworks, look like human beings, they are exceptionally clever and cunning. By inculcating various sentiments, they misguide not only thousands, but millions, of people to the path of malevolence, just for some petty social status or other temptation. Common people never think deeply about this; they have not been taught how to think deeply about it; they do not ponder over it even now. Until today this aspect of knowledge has been generally unknown to the world. That is why common people, not fully understanding these cunning people, are inclined to give them undue importance. They write voluminous books about these clever people and accept their words as authentic, thus bringing about considerable harm to the society, the state and the common masses. Simple ignorant people do not realize that they themselves are being harmed or that they, being misguided by those clever people, are harming others.” (4)

Those who misuse their faculties are also doomed to destruction

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “The knowledge of the learned, the strength of the strong, the intelligence of the intellectuals – all these faculties have been given not to be merely preserved but to be utilized. Those persons who do not utilize their faculties have no right to ask for anything from the Lord, and those who misuse their faculties are also doomed to destruction. The misuse of one’s qualities not only brings harm to the world, but it also exhausts one’s own inherent strength.” (5)

Example of poisonous, narrow, and lowly mindset

Here is an example of the aforesaid point: how some people are very devious and come on this earth to misguide others. Such perverted people are very dangerous to society. Here below is the example of such a rotten mentality. In WhatsApp, one person wanted to belittle Baba’s neo-humanistic grand personality for his own lowly ulterior motive. And he wrote like this on a WhatsApp forum:

[5:33PM, 10/24/2016] Sidhil Jii: “Shri Prabhat Ranjan sarkar was a Bengali …”
[5:40PM, 10/24/2016] Sidhil Jii: “There is nothing wrong to say Shri PR sarkar  a, Bengali”
[12:00AM, 10/25/2016] Sidhil Jii: “I really don't care how many agree with me . I write what's seems to be correct n realistic in my point of view”
In Him,
Ragatmika'
(Rachel Kaiser)

Note: This person is a so-called margii and on this forum he is often trying hard to belittle Baba and misguide others. The action of this person proves time and again that he is the incarnation of negative  microvita; his behaviour is abhorrent. To keep the mind pure, genuine sadhakas keep themselves away from him like the plague.

I have come on this earth for...

“Karuńáketan krpá karo more, tomár tarei dharáy ásá…” (Prabhat Samgiita #4303)

Purport:

O’ the Abode of Karuna, please shower Your grace on me. I have come on this earth to please You, and do sadhana, service, and sacrifice for You. There is no other purpose to take birth. In this world, there is happiness and sorrow, but for me You are the Polestar. All my joy and sadness, pleasure and pain, is related with You. Some may become elated or suffer for various worldly reasons. But for me, my everything, the full spectrum of my feelings, is related with thinking of and ideating on You. When I feel close to You that is my bliss and when I feel distant then I cry in despair. My smiles of jubilation and tears of pain are all centering around You.

Since the dawn of creation, the way You think I am floating in Your thought waves, flowing through saincara and pratisaincara. And now I have reached this stage of being human, by Your grace. All along You have always been with me and have surrounded me in all the directions with Your ota and prota yoga. My position is just like a drop or bubble roving in You, O’ Great Entity. Whatever I do and whatever I think You are always with me, never leaving me on any occasion.

 O’ Great Ocean of Compassion and Mercy, You are the Controller of the universe. This unit being is expressing its surrender by doing sastaunga pranam to You Please accept. O’ the Ultimate Destination of the highest prema - ragatmika bhakti - all the desires, hopes, and longings of the physical, psychic, and spiritual worlds are satiated after realizing You. Baba, You are everything for me...

Symbolism & quality of lotus pose

Ananda Marga philosophy says, "Padma'sana [lotus posture] is just like a lotus in full bloom. Just as the roots and stem of the lotus remain under the water and only the leaves and flowers float about it-- and although it is born in the mind it sustains its love for the stars-- in the same way people sitting in this lotus posture and remaining in the world, can keep their minds above their mundane environment. That is why on the path of sa'dhana' this posture has tremendous importance." (1)

We should know about Dada

Baba

We should know about Dada

Namaskar,

You know Baba places great importance on the study of history as it enables both individuals and communities to learn from past mistakes and thereby progress. Failing that, without the study of history, people commit the same old blunders over and over again. In which case, they remain shackled by the crimes of the past and are unable to advance. So the review of history holds a unique place for the progress of any society.

As Ananda Margiis, we must know the history of Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha (AMPS). Please read this below letter as an historical account which was first posted six years ago on an earlier incarnation of this very network.

In Him,
Dr. Gopal
Ananda Marga News Bulletin Moderators

Date: Mon, 03 Sep 2012 21:36:27 -0000
To: am-global@earthlink.net
From: "Vijaya Das"
Subject: Cry of Sambhutyanand jii

Baba

Cry of Sambhutyanand jii

Namaskar,

Now, after 47 years of worker life and an ongoing allegiance with Saravatmanand jii and the Kolkata administration, at the age of 65 Ac Sambhutyanand jii Avt is publicly writing that he has been evicted from his room in Tiljala and all his belongings taken. A link to Dadaji's public letter has been appended at the bottom of this mailing. By reading his letter it looks like he has been expelled as he expresses that he has no place to go:  "I am nowhere, I have no address to locate myself. Where shall I go at the age of 65."


Senior citizens

Here are some thoughts on the present situation. 

1) To throw away the belongings (clothes, blankets, medical records) of anyone, especially a senior citizen like Sambhutyanand jii, is totally inhumane. Under no circumstances should such recourse be taken.

Sambhutyananda: stooge of Sarvatmananda

2) As we all know, this is not first time that the Kolkata Adm. has inflicted inhumane treatment on others. They have tortured many innocent margiis and workers who do not agree with their plans, policies, and procedures. Indeed, Ac. Sambhutyanand jii himself was always part of those harsh, inhumane acts. Because from day 1, Sambhutyanand jii was an active, dedicated spoon of Sarvatmanand jii. So he has all the inside knowledge about these misdeeds, crimes, and sinful acts.

3) Certainly Sambhutyanand jii is intimately aware of the many anti-ideological and violent acts of Sarvatmanand jii, Vicitra'nand jii, and Kolkata Adm. So today, when Sambhutyanand jii is on the receiving end of such inhumane torture from the Kolkata regime, he should not only raise his own personal issues and tales of woe, he should also discuss and reveal all the black deeds done by Kolkata Adm, many of which he was directly / indirectly involved in. Some of those incidents include torturing many workers, the murdering of Wts (e.g. Ac. Abhipremananda Avt), the distortion of Baba's books, the curtailment of margii rights, and many other black deeds.

Sambhutyanada wrote Fake BP Manual

4) Let us not forget that when Rudranand jii was central ISMUB Secretary, then Sambhutyanand jii jii was a sectorial ISMUB strong-arm. And when Sarvatmanandji became ISMUB Secretary then again Sambhutyanand jiia was a sectorial ISMUB Wt. Both in 1994 and 1997, under the leadership of Rudranand jii and Sarvatmanand jii, respectively, along with the support of Vandananand jii, Parmeshvaranand jii, respected Didi Ananda Giita and others, Sambhutyanand jii himself changed Baba's given BP election manual, snatched away margiis' rights, distorted Baba's discourses as only being given in Bengali, and authored the Fake BP Manual. Indeed, Sambhutyanand jii was one of the key members of the caucus who conspired to change the BP manual. In fact, if you look at the cover of the 1997 Fake BP Manual, which is still in vogue today, it is Sambhutyanand jii's name - and his name alone - that appears on the cover. So he was a key person in ISMUB those days, as well as the right-hand man of Sarvatmanand jii.


Sambhutyanada should confess all

5) Now Sambhutyanand jii should recount how this conspiracy was hatched? Who was on the inside? How did they go about distorting the Bhukti Pradhan Manual? Who was present in those conspiracy meetings? All these things he should tell - openly and frankly. The truth must be told. And in exchange, he should be granted clemency or fully pardoned. And all margiis and workers should look upon him with kindness and sympathy - once he comes forward with the truth.

6) Let us remember that Kolkata Adm. has not just taken away Sambhutyanand jii's belongings; that is not their only injustice. They have also snatched away margii rights, victimised countless margiis, distorted Baba's discourses, indulged in Bangalisation, and used expulsion as a weapon to get rid of those margiis and Wts who protested the injustices. Sambhutyanand jii should write the inside story of all these things as well. Because after all, he was a key figure in the B group machinery for executing all those injustices. Sambhutyanand jii's fingerprint is on most of those incidents. So he is fully aware about what transgressions and criminal activities were done. One of Sambhutyanand jii's roles was to appease and befool Hindi speaking margiis. On this front, he was Sarvatmanand jii's chief agent. Plus he was plunged into so many other notorious activities. Literally, he knows all that occurred.

7) Let Sambhutyanand jii come forward today and give his personal view about how he feels now about those distortions and miseeds. And once he gives a full account of all that transpired, he should be pardoned for his honesty and warmly embraced by all Ananda Margiis.

Sambhutyanada: enemy of Margii society

8) Failing that, if Sambhutyanada refuses to talk about all these injustices which he must know about, then margiis will not listen to him. No one will pay heed to his cry about his personal troubles. Because if two robbers fight for their share of the booty, why will common  villagers be sympathetic to either of their cries? Those who changed the BP manual and took away margii rights are themselves robbers.

9) If Sambhutyanand jii chooses to keep quiet about all this, then it should understood that he is still hiding behind and not at all repentant for what he did. Dadaji must reveal the truth about what happened. Indeed this is a very good and unique opportunity for Sambhutyanand jiia Dada to tell his side of the story and come clean. In response, he should be granted a full pardon.

Sambhutyanada must tell the truth

10) The history should be told about how all those injustices were carried out. There should be a first-hand account. Already, so many are aging and even dying, someone involved in those misdeeds should come forth and tell the truth. And Sambhutyanand jii is the right person to do this. He was a part of all that gang and knows first-hand all that they did. The history must be recounted. That will be the proof that really Sambhutyanand jii is interested in dharma and not just putting on a show and acting as a spy for Sarvatmanand jii by gaining everyone's sympathy.

Please Dadaji, be bold and honest - come forward and speak your truth.

Namaskar,
Vijay Das


Note 1: List of injustices carried out by B group

Here it should be understood that the original group leader is Sarvatmanand jii and it was under his rule and with his brain power that all such misdeeds and sinful activities were initially enacted. And all along, Sambutyananda was by his side, as well Parmeshvarananda, NIgamananda, Vicitrananda, Vandanananda, Rudrananda, Ananda Giita, Ananda Sampurna etc

1. Attacks and murders (e.g. Ac. Abhipremananda Avt) on our AMPS workers and margiis;
2. Destruction of BP rights and imposition of the Fake BP Manual;
3. Expulsion of whistle-blowers;
4. Countless intentional scriptural distortions such as placing "Translated from the original Bengali" on the cover page of all Ananda Marga books, even if those discourses were given by Baba in English or Hindi;
5. Elimination of the ACB system;
6. Curtailment of margii rights;
7. Creation of dogmatic pilgrimages in Ananda Nagar, Kolkata, & Jamalpur;
8. Issuing of Fake Ananda Vaniis;
9. Victimisation of countless innocent Ananda Margiis;
10. Bangalisation of Ananda Marga teachings;
11. Ruination of Prabhat Samgiita by using filmy singers etc;
12. Not recognising Silent Action as a fundamental right;
13. Only translating Bengali portions of Baba's holy DMC discourses which were given by Baba in three languages;
14. Using shraddha mantra for Sadguru Baba and the imposition of dogmatic Mahaprayan;
15. Construction of dogmatic memorials to limit Baba to a particular land or place;
And so many more ideological wrongs.

Sambhutyananda, Vandanananda, Sambhutynand, Sampurna, Parmeshwarananda, Wandanananda, Nigamananda
