Mahaprayan is for xyz persons + 2 more

Baba

Mahaprayan is for xyz persons

Namaskar,

Mahaprayan is a widely used convention that means the death of Tom, Dick, Harry, & even John Doe. Throughout India, especially in my Bengal, the mahaprayan program is used for the death of any common human being.

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, “The period of mourning should not extend beyond twelve days.” (1)

The purpose of this letter is to help my fellow margiis understand that mahaprayan is regular commemoration for mortals in the same way as people in the west use "passed away" and "died" etc.

This below image says it all - it demonstrates how mahaprayan is used on a daily basis for those who have died. In the caption of each of the below photos, the mahaprayan word is written in Bengali script. Ask any Bangla-knowing person and they can confirm this for you. These are from Google images.

So please see below: Beneath each and every photo, mahaprayan is written in Bangla script. And also below each and every photo is a link (in green font) to the website, and if you click on it you will arrive at a huge heading stating mahaprayan of xyz. So you can imagine how prevalent mahaprayan of xyz is in my Bengal. Below is a screen print of one partial page of Google images.

Again, please see above: Beneath each and every photo, mahaprayan is written in Bangla script. And also below each and every photo is a link (in green font) to the website and if you click on it you will arrive at a huge heading stating mahaprayan of xyz.  So you can imagine how prevalent mahaprayan of xyz is in my Bengal. Above is a screen print of one partial page of Google images.

All of the above photos are from Google images. Just type mahaprayan and the death day announcements appear of so many common citizens. Each listing is entitled “mahaprayan” as their family and friends publish the mahaprayan listing of their loved one.

So as we see, the concept of "mahaprayan" is something very common; it signifies the death of a mortal being; it is a common phenomenon across Bengal.

As evidenced above (see image & caption) and in this series of letters, the program of mahaprayan is everywhere; it is widely observed for the death of mortals. It is not something special, nor unique nor divine. It is not something godly nor lofty, and not reserved for Taraka Brahma, as propagated by my dada Sarvatmananda ji.

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, “The period of mourning should not extend beyond twelve days.” (2)


Adaptation of an Islamic tradition

Initially, my Tiljala faction presented this annual mahaprayan commemoration to margiis as being some type of divine and heavenly occasion that was exclusively for Mahasambhuti. But now the whole situation has changed positively. Today, mostly everyone understands that mahaprayan is just one copy and adaptation of an Islamic dogma (click here to reach to Islamic shrine of 700 years old in Ajmer India where they do 6-day annual death ceremony of Islamic leader).

For mahaprayan a tomb is needed. And only Muslims were doing that for mahaprayan. And my Tiljala mahaprayan organisers have followed suit.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com

We can see how in Tiljala our Dadas have implemented that same Islamic tradition by encircling the tomb to perform the tomb worship during the annual mahaprayan death day commemoration in our Tiljala campus etc.

So while the Muslims do their ceremony for deceased human beings, my Tiljala organisers are doing this annual death (mahaprayan) ceremony to Taraka Brahma Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji. The precept is that Guru is dead.

Regardless of how dogmatic the religions are they never do the annual mahaprayan of God, but unfortunately my faction of AMPS commemorates the annual death day, i.e. mahaprayan of the object of ideation - God. That is the irony: the God of my group died.

When everyone understands that mahaprayan signifies the death day of any mortal, then this dogma will be dropped forever.

Namaskar,

To date, certain of my group leaders have thoroughly convinced some of my fellow margiis - especially Bangla speaking and some non-Bengali speaking sadhakas - into thinking that mahaprayan is something divine.

Hypocritical behaviour

Sadguru Baba is guiding you, and in the next breath they say He is dead - mahaprayan.

True bhaktas know that there is no such thing as mahaprayan for Sadguru Baba. As the Sadguru He never passes away, He is omnipresent. So those Wts who believe in & propagate that Sadguru is dead are confused. Actually they are displaying hypocritical behaviour. Why?

When our acaryas give initiation, or revise anyone’s lessons, or give further lessons of sadhana, they say, “I am just a medium - Sadguru Taraka Brahma Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji is teaching you and He is ever-present."

So in one breath our Wts say that Sadguru Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji is guiding you, and in the next breath they say He is dead - mahaprayan. That is both hypocritical and sinful. Hypocritical because they are telling one thing and doing something else. They are telling that Guru is no more in their mahaprayan program, yet when teaching sadhana they are relying on Him. And it is sinful because it is abusive against Guru.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com

It is similar to your own children playing before you and talking among themselves that, “My mother is dead.” As a mother, how will you feel? And not only that, they go one step ahead. Before your eyes they start commemorating your annual death day ceremony How do you feel about their ignorance?

True bhaktas never participate in the dogmatic annual death day ceremony / mahaprayan of the ever-present God. That is against pre-1990 Caryacarya.”

Sinners are distorting Baba's audios

Namaskar,

Baba's discourses should not be remixed with any background sound, music, kirtan, etc. The reason is - in future people would then try to remix Baba's voice with any audio and video.

Dharmendra & others who ruin Baba's voice are unworthy disciples

• Already Dharmendra ji (Tatanagar) has been remixing Baba's voice with the Mahabharata serial and other videos which are not correct, but sin.

• In "Youtube", Facebook, and WhatsApp groups, one can find many such remix audios and videos with Baba voice. 

Baba's voice is the voice of Parama Purusa / Taraka Brahma. Therefore we must maintain the sanctity of His audio and video. In 16 points, Baba says," Non compromising strictness to Ista and Adarsha ". Baba is our Ista and His voice must not be allowed to be used anywhere with any music, etc.

It is just like how unemployed people get depressed and get suicidal and start harming themselves with a knife by cutting their wrist etc. Similarly, these sinners are harming their own Guru's material and are hungry for attention. They are psychically diseased people whose only goal is to get attention. This is the pathetic condition of this present era. I know one child who was desperate for attention the he would pick up a scissors and cut his parents' clothing.

It is sad they are distorting Baba's audios in the aforesaid ways.

In Him,
Kripal Yadav

Demise of AM Mexico: all properties lost

 Baba

Demise of AM Mexico: all properties lost

Note: In this news update, the term so-called is used to indicate that the person in question is not a true Ananda Margii. 

Namaskar, 

Since long, the situation surrounding our AM land holdings in Mexico (jagrtis and master units) has been quite tenuous and complex. Here are a few key points every concerned Ananda Margii should know, lest a similar debacle unfold in their region / sector. 
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com

Phase I: Vimalananda’s money deal

(#1) As the then Sectorial Secretary of NY sector, Vimalananda employed his obedient servant, Juan (i.e. so-called Yogendra), and systematically removed all of the Ananda Margiis from the Ananda Marga Mexico board. By this way, they snatched legal control over all of the Ananda Marga properties in Mexico. This was done solely under the direction of Vimalananda, despite the repeated pleas and protests by local Wts and margiis to stop this from happening. 

(#2) The then SS Vimalananda vowed to take control of all of the land assets and buildings of Ananda Marga in Mexico in order to enrich himself. Without any doubt, Vimalananda was the lead conspirator as Vimalananda was getting sizable payouts to cut numerous deals. Naturally, Vimalananda gave a huge portion of those monies to Centre, otherwise this whole scandal would not have been possible. So this entire illicit land sale and money laundering scheme involving the AM Mexico properties was going all the way up the chain of command: It was all happening with the blessings of Dada Rudrananda. 

(#3) Drunk with personal greed, Dada Vimalananda was keen to drive that train on and on and get all the riches from the Mexico land sales using his chief stooge Yogendra. And, that is exactly what happened. Verily, Vimalananda failed miserably in his duty to Guru to protect the properties and interests of Ananda Marga in Mexico. Sadly, Vimalananda betrayed our trust and his oaths to Guru in order to satisfy his own lust and greed.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com

Phase II: Properties lost

(#4) Initially, many could not believe that Vimalananda could have behaved in this way. But slowly, step by step, all the facts have come to the fore and everyone has come to realise the selfish and nefarious dealings of Vimalananda. 

(#5) The thing is this: Vimalananda purchased his stooge, i.e. so-called Yogendra for a few shillings, and then by using his then SS post he authorized the sale / capture of 12 Ananda Marga properties in Mexico, worth a total of around 10 million US dollars. Indeed, it was brother Gagan who bequeathed all of these properties to Ananda Marga Mexico before his untimely death, i.e. murder. Verily, from start to finish, the whole episode is catastrophic and reads more like a mafia saga than the workings of a social service organisation. 

(#6) It should also be borne in mind that the totality of the disaster in Mexico did not end with the reign of Vimalananda as SSNY. No doubt Vimalananda started the problem, but when he left then Abhiramananda came onto the scene as SSNY in Feb 2016. And that very year itself Abhirmananda did a tour of Mexico and nearly all of the senior sadhakas of Mexico pleaded and alerted Abhiramananda about how Vimalananda had used this stooge, i.e. so-called Yogendra, to sell the properties. The margiis desperately wanted this to stop. But rather than taking action and stopping this problem, Abhirmananda used the stooge (so-called Yogendra) and boosted him up to the sky and hailed him as a celebrity at the main retreat site (Ananda Kanan, Missouri, USA) of NY sector. From 2016- 2020, Abhiramananda gave so-called Yogendra huge respect in front of all of the NY margiis and workers. And by this way, Abhiramananda was able to use so-called Yogendra to control all of the properties of Mexico. Verily, so-called Yogendra had no courage or impetus, rather it was all done by Vimalananda and Abhiramananda. That is who hijacked all of the AM properties of Mexico. It was these two SS dadas, i.e. Vimalananda and Abhiramananda, who used so-called Yogendra as their pawn. By this way these two Wts, via the order of Centre, sold everything, i.e. all of the Mexico properties, and they swallowed that money. And that is how this whole horrific crime unfolded. That is how all of the elite and expensive AM properties in Mexico were lost, looted, and squandered.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com

(#7) The ramifications for local workers in Mexico have been disastrous. The Wts were forced to live in rented houses and undergo all kinds of financial hardship, while Vimalananda allowed and ordered so-called Yogendra to turn all those AM properties into night clubs that sold alcohol and hosted degrading dance parties etc. And some they just sold outright. This was all done for Vimalananda’s bankroll. 

(#8) This is the type of downfall that can happen when the heads of an organisation are corrupt and dominated by greed. Bereft of any feeling of service, sacrifice, or ideological values, they just became pawns of materialism and wanted to live a life of comfort and indulgence. 


Conclusion

(#9) At present, Vimalanda’s obedient servant (so-called Yogendra) is taking legal action to grab the last remaining property that is in the hands of AMPS, where all the margiis and  acaryas do the weekly dharmacakra and conduct seminars, i.e. the brother's jagrti in Monterrey. Thus far, so-called Yogendra has the upper hand as a lower court ruled in his favour to kick out the Wt who has been there since long, and now local Wts and margiis are working swiftly to appeal. The situation is tenuous and desperate as this is the last remaining property. 
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com

(#10) All of this was easily avoidable in 2007 when Vimalananda gave so-called Yogendra the green light to sell AM Mexico properties. If, at that time, those at the helm had a little bit of ideological vision and were not dominated by their own lower propensities, this massive loss of AM houses, buildings, and land holdings could have been prevented. Tragically, greed took over and Vimalananda became openly involved in selling AM properties along with his sidekick, so-called Yogendra. That is why all those close to the situation refer to them not as acaryas but as Guru drohi, i.e. those who have knowingly and actively gone against the wishes of Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji. 

In Him, 
Indranath

The main conspirator in all of this is the then SS Dada Vimalananda who employed his faithful stooge, i.e. so-called Yogendra (Juan Osegueda), to carry out his plan. 
 
Epilogue

The remaining piece to the puzzle sparks intrigue. With the loss of all of the properties in Mexico, there has been no response by the controlling party, i.e. Dada Rudrananda’s Ranchi administration. Typically, they will fight tooth and nail in the courts to maintain control of any small or big property. Yet, in this scenario in Mexico, Ranchi Adm has seemingly lost every single property, and they are doing nothing about it. And these were an expensive and dynamic array of properties that held many valuable antiques etc. But Ranchi Adm is keeping mum. That is why it is thought that Vimalananda is just using his stooge so-called Yogendra to get handsome financial payouts. And it is for this very reason that there has been no response or counter maneuvers by Ranchi Adm to reclaim all those lost properties in Mexico.
