Baba

Quandary?

Namaskar,

On some key issues a few get confused. Some think that certain points have been approved of by Baba, while others firmly maintain that such issues have not been approved. There are many instances where two parties hold diametrically opposing perspectives on what they feel Baba supports. This is the type of confusion that some are bringing to the table. For this reason it is worth taking a closer look into this topic by referencing Baba's direct guidelines. That is the best way to proceed.

How to know His perspective

First, here below Baba very clearly and conclusively guides us about the proven and tested ways to understand His divine viewpoint. By applying His below measuring rod, any sadhaka can easily understand Baba's stance on any issue. Here then is Baba's given method.

Ananda Marga philosophy states, "Generally there are three ways to ascertain the views of great personalities: first, by what they said; secondly, by what they did, even though they may not have said anything; and thirdly, even though they may not have said or done anything, by what they did not say - one way or the other - on a particular issue." (1)

According to Sadguru Baba's above guideline we can easily ascertain His perspective and views in certain key ways:
1. By studying His discourses;
2. By following His practical example, by His action;

Naturally, we should understand Guru's perspective, adhere to His teaching, and follow His example / direction. Then we will be in position to properly resolve any points of contention regarding what Baba supports and what He does not support. By this way one can save oneself from committing sin and falling prey to self-ruination.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Conclusion

Here again then is that first parameter for determining Baba's guideline on any particular issue: By studying His discourses. What Baba has said refers first and foremost to His discourses - i.e. His books. So His recorded and printed teachings of Ananda Marga ideology are the first way by which to understand His perspective. What He says in His books we should certainly do and follow. This is how to adhere to the path of dharma and save oneself from committing sin and falling prey to self-ruination.

The second method of knowing His viewpoint is by seeing His action: What Baba has done in His day to day life - by following His practical example, by His action. Baba's sterling example stands as one perfect way to live a dharmic life. He has graciously come to show one and all how to lead a glorious existence. His actions demonstrate this. Here below Baba guides us that by His various actions like performing sadhana regularly, He is guiding sadhakas how they are to lead their life.

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “He [Mahsambuti] needs no sadhana, but just to set an example to others, He performs sadhana with the masses." (2)

Here then - as a basic rule - we should certainly follow Sadguru’s guidelines from His discourses and adhere to His example and do what He has done. By this way one may avert sinful dealings and refrain from degrading oneself.

How Baba opposes mahaprayan dogma

The issue of the mahaprayan dogma has two distinct sides. Some are in favour and some are opposed. Some say Baba appreciates the annual commemoration of His so-called departure that He is gone, while others hold that Baba is eternally present as the Cosmic Entity Parama Purusa and thus He opposes the MPD dogma. We should therefore analyse this issue according to Baba's practical example, i.e. His actions. Then we can know what His perspective is on this issue of "mahaprayan dogma." We begin with findings related with the second step or second parameter: By His action, i.e. following His practical example.

As we all know, each year Baba guides us to announce and celebrate the birth of the second Mahasambhuti, Lord Krsna. On that glorious day - Janma's't'amii - Baba would announce general darshan. After bringing recognition to the day, Baba would invariably take some time to talk about the life of Lord Krsna, His dharmic teachings or scenes from the Bhagavad Giita. And Baba would often grace those present with varabhaya mudra.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

No MPD of Lord Krsna

For instance, all-knowing Baba is certainly aware of the day the second Mahasambhuti Lord Krsna left this earth. Yet by His example Baba carefully guides us not to place importance on the exact day, time, or place of Lord Krsna's physical departure. Baba guides us that we should not give value to this occasion in any way - neither as a day of observance nor as a day of celebration. Clearly He has taught us - by His example - not to organise the MPD of Lord Krsna. Because Sadguru Baba does not support the idea of the eternal Taraka Brahma Krsna having an MPD date. As Baba’s disciples, we should pay heed to His blemishless example and represent His ideals by our own conduct.

I personally have attended so many janmastami programs with Baba; this was always a day that was announced and celebrated. As His disciples then, always the birthday of Lord Krsna is to be honoured. But in Baba’s presence there was never any such MPD program for Lord Krsna. The so-called annual death day of Lord Krsna was never announced or observed.

By Baba's above actions - i.e. by the second parameter for determining Guru's perspective - by following His practical example, by His action, it is clear that He does not approve of the observance of the so-called departure day of the 3rd Mahasambhuti Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji. Rather He opposes this MPD dogma. Those who celebrate so-called mahaprayan dogma are going against Baba's wishes. No one should do this great sin and invite their self-destruction.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/


Abide by His teachings; follow in His footsteps

It is a divine fact and irrefutable truth that when Taraka Brahma takes advent and manifests Himself as Mahasambhuti on this dusty earth then He puts forth one great example for all to follow. This is well understood by each and every Ananda Margii - by every sadhaka. All feel in their heart and mind that Baba is that Divine One - the embodiment of dharma - whose each and every thought, word, and deed guides us perfectly along the path of Supreme Benevolence. By His divine grace and by following Him in each and every way, all human beings will reach that blissful and divine stance.

Ananda Marga ideology guides us, "Parama Purusa is a ship, nay a very big ship. Getting on it, devotees will sit and cross the cosmic cycle comfortably." (3)


Through the medium of Shrii Shrii Anandamúrti jii

So again, the first step of Baba's 3-point system for determining His perspective is what He has said.

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, "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." (4)

By this first parameter, "by what [Sadguru] said", it is quite evident that Ananda Marga ideology does not support the narrow notion that Parama Purusa Baba is a limited entity who has gone away. Rather He is that Eternal Divine Entity that remains with us always. Thus by checking with what He has said, it is clear that Baba does not support mahaprayan.

But Tiljala issues a press release every year announcing how the death day of Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurti should be observed. Yet according to Baba's above stated parameters and measuring rods, the annual MPD program (mahaprayan divas) dogma is completely bogus.

You are hiding within Your creation

"Moder dhará rúpe peyeche,tomár rúper sáje..." (Prabhat Samgiita #0324)

Note: Only those bhaktas who feel a devotional vibration in their heart can understand this song in the depths of their core.

Purport:

O' Supreme Entity, this world has become beautiful because of Your infinite charm. That is why I behold You everywhere - in all Your variations. When I look at any expression then I see that You are there. You are manifesting Yourself in that form. O' Parama Purusa, You are presenting Your grandeur in the rupa of all these entities - animate and inanimate. You are One but Your disseminations are many. You show Yourself in innumerable shapes. You are hiding within Your creation.

O' Divine One, You are present everywhere - in all the flows. Nothing is outside Your mental arena; everything is within the purview of Your mind. That is why nothing is ever lost. Baba, I am in Your domain and I do according to Your desire. This entire universe is in Your mental vision and I am one part of that. I am working according to Your wish. Because all is Your thought projection.

O' Supreme Being, O' Baba, You are present in each mental conception. Whatever human beings think is known to You since You are the Witnessing Entity of that very psychic process. You are extremely vast: all are encapsulated within You. You are so small: You are present in everyone's mental arena. You are smaller than the smallest and bigger than the biggest. Even by mistake I do not think that besides You anything else exists. You are the totality.

O' Prabhu, I always think that You are the quintessence, it is Your grace...


~ Notes for Prabhat Samgiita #0324 ~

Note 1: Here is a portion of RU address of 28 May 1983 wherein He is giving this same type of idea as has been demonstrated in the above song.

Ananda Marga philosophy states, "Neohumanism includes within its scope not only human beings and animate creatures, such as plants and animals, but all inanimate entities as well, for the scope of Neohumanism extends down to the smallest particles of sub-atomic matter...Why should the love and affection of developed human minds be restricted to human beings only? Why should it not include all living beings, including plant life? This is the new explanation of humanism - neohumanism - for within neohumanism the entire animate world is included...And that golden day is sure to come when that perfect stage of structure, that is, unit existence in the intra-atomic world, will be reached, when human intuition will realize that the essence in the sub-atomic world is pure Consciousness." (1)

Note 2: Materialists think that everything comes from matter while Ananda Marga philosophy states that everything comes from Brahma. This then is the fundamental difference between the static world view of materialism and our spiritual outlook. Needless to say, our spiritual perspective changes the whole view of this universe as well as our relation with it. Materialists think that the world is for their  self-satisfaction only whereas in Ananda Marga we think that we have come to this world to serve others since all are the expression of Parama Purusa.

More about Prabhat Samgiita #324: This is a neo-humanistic song given on 10 March 1983. This same theme was evident in the RU address and DMC discourse of 28 and 29 May, respectively. In both those discourses, this same type of idea was given but in greater detail. In that RU address, the idea was that everything is the expression of Parama Purusa, and that Parama Purusa is expressing Himself throughout this manifested universe.

Marriage: child without father + 4 more

Baba

Marriage: child without father

Namaskar,

In our Ananda Marga, one of the chief aims is to build up one human society for raising children in a healthy way. To achieve this and help humanity grow in all the realms of life, Beloved Baba has given the Society Building Dept. The Society Building Dept has two main types of work: (a) Creation of Wts, and (b) formation of revolutionary marriages.

And the ideal of marriage is not just some lustful relation. Rather it is a revolutionary approach for developing society and raising children, wherein both father and mother collectively share the joint responsibility of rearing offspring and providing for the family. In our Ananda Marga, marriage is done for making a unified human society and raising children in a healthy way.

On the one level there is the unit family consisting of the wife, husband, children, grandparents, etc. The collection of laokika family members is the unit family. And the collection of many families moving in one direction towards the cosmic goal is the society, 'Samanam ejatiiti samajah'.

Materialism:  marriage is for sensual pleasure—no higher value

In those days of old, Lord Shiva, the Father of tantra, started this grand system of marriage to ease the burden on the mother for raising the child, and to provide the child with a safe and secure environment in which to grow. So the main motive of marriage is for the welfare of the child and growth of all family members.

However, these days in the so-called advanced societies—and wherever materialism has taken hold—the institution of marriage has been severely compromised and hampered. All sorts of negative habits and customs have degraded marriage. The main reason is the degeneration of human values, extreme materialism, and lack of ideological understanding. Or we can look at it this way: When animal propensities dominate the human intellect then that negative ripple effect is felt on all levels—nothing remains untouched. Matrimonial relations also get adversely affected.

That is why wherever materialism has taken root in society, people commonly get married one day and divorced the next, i.e. the next day or the next year etc. The point is that divorce becomes rampant because marriage is only for sensual pleasure—not any higher value. And those who are very debased do not like to marry at all. Such persons are termed as libertines. They just continue their lustful relations in full swing without ever taking on the dignified responsibility of marriage. This is a most serious problem these days in society. Such libertines are just like animals because you might not have heard of any wild animal getting married.

Ananda Marga philosophy states, "At the beginning of evolution, humans used to lead libertine lives without any consideration for family obligations...the male libertines would not take the responsibility for their offspring. They used to wander freely...The life of the libertines was just like that of the animals". (1)

So libertines always lead a life of irresponsibility and degradation. Unfortunately, present day society has actually degenerated and fallen back to the prehistoric ages, or even worse than that.

One women, five males / husbands, 5 children

The negative effect of materialism has sadly turned humans into animals. Males and females are living together and never getting married and having children out of wedlock. And often they switch partners and have more children and in this way move from one relation to the next. So one unmarried woman might have 5 children along with 5 different males / fathers—and vice-versa. This is the common malady these days, in materialistic countries.

Seeing this, any rational and ideological person will surely conclude that the spirit of marriage has not been followed at all. Because on the one hand many marriages are just based on loose, superficial compromises and do not even come close to touching the strong ties of dedication and sacrifice needed for the purpose of building up a strong society for raising the child in a healthy way. And even worse than that are those who remain unmarried but go on living with various members of the opposite or same sex for their animal pleasure. They just engage in sensual relations only for beastial enjoyment—all the while remaining unmarried.

One result of all this is that there is no end to the exploitation of women and children. For namesake in so-called advanced countries it looks like women have a lot of freedom. But in the practical sphere it is not so.

For example, we can examine unmatched marriages. In European / western countries, under the force and allurement of wealth, unmatched marriages are quite common. For instance, many rich, older, professional men get divorced and rid themselves of any family responsibility and instead become infatuated with young girls. In this way there is a lot of sexual corruption going on and that gets multiplied by those libertine males who bounce from one female to the next and do not get married for even one day. Just they continue indulging in all sorts of negative affairs. That is why such characterless libertines are termed as confirmed sinners. They are enemies of society for raising children in a healthy way.

Libertines from the past and present

There are two types of libertines. One is from the far distant past during that pre-historic era when in their lustful enjoyment the by-product was the baby, a child. And the fathers were escaping from any responsibility by remaining unidentified. And the second batch of libertines is from today when certain degraded male libertines have come on the scene.

Their superficial shape may be slightly different from those libertines of the past, but their mind and actions are 100% the same as those libertines from those bygone days. Because today their relations are only for negative sexual enjoyment. And they prevent the birth of any child by using the latest medical devices and techniques.  

In the pre-historic era such techniques were not available so they did not have any opportunity to do such things. So in truth there is no difference between those pre-historic sub-humans, libertine people and the present day so-called civilised, debauched persons. It is immaterial what social post they are occupying—whether one is a grand corporate CEO, or whatever. Both libertines, i.e. from the past and present, are the same because they live only to satisfy their lustful passion. That is their driving force. All together, there are many examples of such libertines.

Father forced to help raise his children

In the prehistoric past, libertine ways were dominant and the males were escaping from their responsibilities. So to destroy this negative situation, the patrilineal order was invoked. And it worked, for some time. But now so many are sexually active but not maintaining husband-wife relations. Or they do so for some time and then split apart. In this way, the number of libertines is on the rise.

Ananda Marga philosophy states, "The patrilineal system is much better, for it awakens in the father a proper sense of responsibility for his children and precludes the possibility of the children's identity remaining unknown or concealed. And the father is compelled by circumstantial pressure to take the responsibility for bringing up his children; and therefore [he] makes an effort to properly preserve the structure of the family." (2)

Baba has clearly given this above Proutistic guideline as the standard for curing society's ills and leading the way for society for raising the child in a healthy way to move ahead. These degenerated libertines have their own philosophy and it is like this: 'Whatever adults wish to do in their private sexually dealings, that is their own business and no one else should interfere in this regard. Because no one has the right to interfere in anyone else's private life. All have complete freedom in this regard.’

This is how those degenerated persons are thinking. Their only intention here is to hide their own misdeeds and negative behaviors with the set strategy that they go on engaging in those sinful activities.

Father's dharmic duty in the raising of the child

In Ananda Marga, we espouse the patrilineal order whereby fathers must take responsibility and play a prominent role in the safety and welfare of the child. Lord Shiva first introduced this system. Before that the matrilineal order was in vogue where mothers alone struggled to provide all the needs for the child. Indeed, this was nothing but a carryover from animal life where mothers attend to all aspects of rearing the offspring. Support is needed from the father. Thus in Ananda Marga, the patrilineal system is looked upon as ideal. Tragically, in materialistic areas, the patrilineal order is fast falling apart.

Ananda Marga ideology says,

"Vi – vah + ghaiṋ = viváha. The root verb vah means “to flow, to lead”. Viváha means “leading one’s life in a new way with a special type of responsibility” [in both Sanskrit and Bengali]. In the most correct Sanskrit, however, the word for “marriage” would be formed vi – úh. An alternative spelling is with u (not ú). Vyuh + kta = vyud́há (meaning “a married person”)."

"An unmarried person remains somewhat free from responsibilities. As a result they get the chance to discharge some greater duties outside their small family. Even though they go outside the house for other work, it is not against anyone’s interests. Vyud́há means a ‘married person who shoulders a greater family responsibility and begins a new style of life.’"

"Hence, when an unmarried girl or boy gets married, his or her life begins to flow down a different channel. Various responsibilities devolve on them. They can no longer afford to take their responsibilities lightly." (3)

Marriage is a key element of society for raising the child in a healthy way. Today more and more the patrilineal order is falling by the wayside and libertine life is on the rise. This is the atrocious scene which must be overcome—both on the individual and collective level.

Solution

In this present-world scenario, where for example in the United States approximately 50% of the children are born out of wedlock, those children are not getting ongoing help in their physical, psychic, and spiritual needs from their father. And to a large degree this results in lack of support from their mother also. Because the father is absent from the scene, and the mother is busy twenty-four hours a day in work to procure the basic requirements of the child. So she does not have time and energy to fulfill the child’s emotional needs. In result the child feels alienated, rejected, and when it grows it becomes violent. And it does not feel any love or connection with the society. Rather, it feels that nobody cares about them. In result, in frustration and depression, such children want to kill and attack random people whoever they come across. That is why we see in the present generation, the rates of violent crime have drastically increased. This is directly related with the absence of parental love.

Genealogical tests for the child

What is the solution? First of all, we should demand genealogical tests for the child to identify the father. And the father should be forced by law to supply physical, psychic, and emotional support to the child every day for certain hours until the child is fully grown. And if the child wishes, then that father must continue the relation with the child and help the child as long as the father is alive. In this way, the social disconnect or vacuum will be significantly reduced. And the next step will be that those procreating out of wedlock will be punished in a court of law. When society progresses further in the right direction, then only will the second step become possible. And we should demand that this be done for the all round development of the entire society.

Namaskar,

In Him,

Kalyanii

Wedlock for whites are 29 percent; Hispanics, 53 percent; and blacks, 71 percent

While the national average for the United States in 2014 is 40 percent, the proportions of births out of wedlock for whites are 29 percent; Hispanics, 53 percent; and blacks, 71 percent. The proportions of such births for those groups were lower 50 years ago. Many of the children born out of wedlock live in https://yaleglobal.yale-a.edu/content/out-wedlock-birth1-rise-worldwide…

Why his mother was going off with that other fellow

Ananda Marga philosophy says, "Long ago there used to be a popular and interesting folktale. In very ancient times, as with other animals, there was no custom of marriage among human beings. As far as it can be ascertained, this situation certainly continued until the middle of the Rgvedic age and likely until towards the end of that age. It was said during that time that there was once a five-year-old boy, the son of a certain sage, who became perplexed when he saw his mother going off with another man and asked his father why his mother was going off with that other fellow like that."

"The sage answered his son: “That’s the rule. Any woman can stay with any man whenever she likes. She can also leave him whenever she likes. In the same way, any man can go off with any woman at any time.”"

Ananda Marga philosophy says, "The sage’s son asked: “Then what will I do?”"

"The sage replied: “Children who are breastfeeding will stay with their mother. Once they become too old for that they can stay wherever they like. Wherever they stay they have to make arrangements for their food in exchange for labour.”"

“But that’s no good!” the sage’s young son exclaimed. “No good at all.” (4)

How libertine men became frightened of Shiva

Ananda Marga philosophy states, "In most cases, it was generally seen that the father did not bear the responsibility for the maintenance of their offspring or any other kind of responsibility towards them. All responsibility fell on the mother’s shoulders. For this reason wicked men used to put straightforward-natured women into extreme difficulty. The womenfolk used to spend their time under great duress. If not all, at least most of the men did not shoulder any responsibility for their offspring. Most of them were libertine. This is not to say that there were not any libertine woman, but the number of such women was less. Moreover, the affection they felt towards their children was a very strong bond of attachment which they could not easily break. This situation among humans, which was similar to that of animals, had been going on for approximately one million years, that is, human beings appeared about one million years ago."

"The women of that day stood at Shiva’s door and said: “O Sada'shiva, save us from this beastly, distressful condition. There is no man or woman strong enough today to lay down rules in this matter and to put them into practice with a firm hand.” Shiva’s heart melted; he understood their pain. He introduced the custom of marriage and firmly fixed the rights and responsibilities of the father. For the first time human beings felt the contact of a peaceful environment in social life."

"Still some wicked-natured men remained and some libertine women as well. Then, with the help of his followers, Shiva obliged those wicked men to marry by punishing them with the rod and rope. Just as there were libertine men, there were also some libertine women. This libertine group became greatly frightened of Shiva." (5)

== Section 3: Ananda Vanii ==

Every creature is living manifestation of the Supreme 

Original Ananda Vanii states: “You have no right to hate even a single living creature. The best you can do is only to serve. Remember, you are to serve bearing in mind that every creature is verily the living manifestation of the Supreme Consciousness. Remember also that the credit of service is not yours; it is due to the Supreme and the Supreme alone, whose ideation has inspired you to acquire the capability of rendering service.” (Ananda Vanii #23)

Note: Sadguru Baba has assigned a number to all His original and true Ananda Vaniis. In contrast, Fake Ananda Vaniis do not have any number. By this simple formula, one can easily recognise which is a true Ananda Vanii and which is fake. For the upcoming occasion of January 1st 2017, all Ananda Marga units should use one of Baba’s original and true Ananda Vaniis, not a fake one. By this way, one will surely get His blessing.

== Section 4: Important Teaching==

Ostentatious showing of sadhana will achieve nothing

Here Baba condemns the use of such dogmatic malas and rosary beads etc.

Ananda Marga ideology states, "I have said it before and I say it again, that Sádhaná means fight against Avidyá. This fight is internal, not external. External or ostentatious fight will achieve nothing. In such a fight one's entire capability culminates in the acrobatics of dressing and decorating of one's exterior with málá (a rosary or string of beads for saying prayers), tilaka (a conspicuous mark between the eyebrows with sandalwood-paste or vermilion, jholá (a little sack for the rosary) and candan-chápa (or the mark of sandalwood paste on the forehead, arms and chest). Instead, spiritual aspirants have to fight against their inner, base propensities, and when they will wear the crown of victory, they will then realize that there is absolutely no difference between them and Brahma – they have become Brahma Himself."

Namaskar,

In the recent DMS in Jamalpur, PP Vishvadevananda propagated an imaginary story from his DMS dias to establish Jamalpur as a tiirtha or holy land. This fictitious story was dispersed in the name of Baba, and that is most shameful. Here below are the details.

One phony and outlandish, imaginary story was created by Madhuvratananda, the well known stooge of Rudrananda. And that fabricated story was spread by the spineless PP Vishvadevananda. The story was given in the form of a speech. And the critical para from PP’s speech was disseminated by Madhuvratananda in WhatsApp etc. That false account which he publicized, is found below highlighted in yellow.

In brief, the fictive narrative of PP goes like this:

When Karna, one of the characters of Mahabharata, was dying then he made the following request to Lord Krsna:

O’ Lord Krsna, in future when You come as Mahasambhuti in the form of Shrii Shrii Anandamurti, then: You please take birth in Anga desh Jamalpur and make it a tiirtha/holy land.

At that time, Lord Krsna assured Karna that “Yes, I will do so.”  To fulfill Karna’s one desire, when Lord Krsna took form as Shrii Shrii Anandamurti, He made Jamalpur as a tiirtha or holy land. This was the fictional story of PP Vishvadevananda.

In conclusion, to fulfill this desire of Karna, Lord Krsna took advent as Shrii Shrii Anandamurti in North Bihar Jamalpur. And that is why Jamalpur is our most holy land. This was the end of the fabricated story of PP.

Here below is PP’s so-called Jamalpur holy land propaganda in Hindi:

कृष्ण कर्ण से बहुत प्यार करते थे किंतु धर्म और अधर्म लेकर विवश थे ।

कहते है कि महाभारत युद्ध मे मरते समय अंग राजा कर्ण ने भगवान कृष्ण से दो आग्रह किये थे पहला इस धरती से जाति ब्यवस्था को समाप्त कर दीजिए ,चुकी मैंने जाति के कारण बहुत ही अपमान झेले हैं । दूसरा अगले बार जब भी आप इस धरती पर सशरीर आएंगे तो अंग देश मे ही आइये। भगवान कृष्ण कर्ण के दोनों आग्रह को तथास्तु  कहकर स्वीकृति दिए। 3500 वर्ष पूर्व कर्ण को दिए वचन को पूरा करने के लिए बाबा आनन्दमूर्ति का जन्म अंग भूमि जमालपुर में हुआ और जाति को समूल खत्म करने के लिए अन्तर्जातीय विवाह के रूप में आनंदमार्ग विप्लवी विवाह का सूत्रपात किये।

बाबा आनन्दमूर्ति कृष्ण आगमन के 3500 वर्ष बाद वीरेश विजय मलिक बशु के रूप में कर्ण को मुक्ति देना चाहते थे, इसलिए अपनी चित शक्ति (ectoplasmic stuff) के द्वारा वीरेश विजय के प्रकाश छाया (luminous body) को प्रकट कर उनके द्वारा उनके मन के बातो को सुना और द्रवित हो गए और अंत मे बाबा आनन्दमूर्ति ने वीरेश विजय मल्लिक वशु जो महाभारत कालीन कर्ण थे , उनको जीवन मृत्यु से मुक्त कर दिए। इस प्रकार कर्ण की आत्मा जो वीरेश विजय मल्लिक के रूप में अंग भूमि में फिर से आये थे बाबा ने उन्हें सदा के लिए मुक्ति दिए।

श्री श्री आनंद मूर्तिजी 'बाबा' ने सबसे अधिक समय जमालपुर में ही बिताया और आनंद मार्ग की स्थापना किये ।सभी दर्शन यही पर दिए ।यह विश्व के आनंदमार्गियो के लिए अति महत्वपूर्ण है ।

Here below is the English version:

PP’s so-called holy land propaganda

Bellow is the translation of the above Hindi passage, by Sukul ji.

The imaginary story of PP starts here:-

Lord Krishna loved Karna yet he was constrained between pious and impious persons.

It is said that while dying in the Mahabharata war, Karna the king of Anga requested Lord Krsna only two  things, (1) to eradicate the caste system from this earth as he suffered whole life very much for it and (2) next time whenever you incarnate yourself on earth please select Anga Desh as your field of work. Lord Krishna accepted both the requests of Karna. To uphold His promise of 3500 years earlier made to Karna, Shrii Shrii Anandamurti took birth in the land of Anga Desh i.e. Jamalpur and created the system of revolutionary marriages so as to eradicate the caste system. The fabricated story of PP goes on.

Baba Anandamurti wanted to liberate Karna in the form of Veeresh vijay malik basu 3500 years after the arrival of Lord Krsna hence with His ectoplasmic stuff created luminous body of Veeresh vijay and heard his mental feelings. Baba liberated Veeresh vijay malik basu from the bondages of life and death, this Veeresh vijay malik basu who was actually none other than Karna at the time of the Mahabharata. In this way the soul of Karna came again on the land of Anga Desh in the form of Veeresh vijay malik and Baba liberated him forever. The fabricated story of PP continues.

Baba Shrii Shrii Anandmurti ji stayed a long time in Jamalpur and established the ideology and philosophy of Ananda Marga here. It is very important for Ananda Margis of the whole world. This was the end of fabricated story of PP.

(This is a part of the lecture given by Purodha Pramukh Vishvadevananda Avadhuta of Anandamarga.) (Translation by Dr T R Sukul)

One of Baba’s Shabda Cayanika stories was adopted and manipulated to suit this purpose of legitimizing the so-called “holiness” of Jamalpur land.

In Him,

Ka’la’gni deva

Searching God in “holy places”: foolishness

"Tomáre cái je ekánte, ananta,jáni more ghire ácho cári dháre,.." (Prabhat Samgiita #1027)

Purport:

O’ Parama Purusa, O’ Infinite Entity, I want to be with You in solitude, on a one-to-one basis as my most Personal relation, so I can open each one of my inner thoughts with You. In this world nobody is fully mine; today they are and tomorrow they are not. There are countless things to share. I suffer from three types of afflictions: physical, psychic, and spiritual. I want to open my heart before You when we are all alone. Although You are infinite - always surrounding me, but my heart is not satisfied. Baba, in my ignorance, so much time has been wasted in searching You in so-called holy places - like Rome, Jerusalem, Mecca, Varanasi, Dwarka, Puri, Badri, Shringeri, Ananda Nagar, Tiljala, and Jamalpur, various memorials and tombs. I was seeking You from one place to another with a garland in hand - from Kolkata to so many Baba's quarters and pious places. Now I am exhausted. It was my foolishness and a waste of time. Now, I just want You as my own in an intimate way.

O’ Parama Purusa, You are everywhere from the waves of the wild and stormy ocean to the quiet wilderness where birds are chirping beautifully. In this entire creation, You remain with every unit entity from the mammoth to a blade of grass. You are ever-fresh. Silently, You are with everyone and everything, O’ Infinite Supreme Entity.

O’ Parama Purusa, from the serene blue sky to the clear dark night filled with innumerable stars, You are everywhere. And You are also within the sweet nectar of the flower garden. From the small plant to large tree in the mountains, You are with each person - whatever is known and expressed in this created universe. And at the same time You are with the things that are unknown. You always reside with all in a very serene, calm, and tranquil way. Baba, O’ infinite Supreme Consciousness. I want You fully to myself so I can share all my hidden longings with You, those yearnings which I have kept for ages and never told anyone..
