Mahaprayan Ghat: burial place for ordinary people
Namaskar,
Here below is the mahaprayan commemoration of one ordinary human, Rajendra Prasad. It is not something godly and not for Taraka Brahma. As we know, the concept of "mahaprayan" is something very mundane; it signifies the death of a human being; it is a common phenomenon across the Indian subcontinent.

As evidenced below (see image & caption), the occasion of mahaprayan is everywhere; it is widely observed for the death of a regular citizen. It is not something special, unique, or divine. It is not something godly and not for Taraka Brahma.
"Mahaprayan Ghat": just like your local cemetery
In this particular mahaprayan observance, attendees and admirers are observing the death anniversary of Dr. Prasad - whose ashes remain at Mahaprayan Ghat in Patna. The name of the cemetery itself is "Mahaprayan Ghat" and this cemetery situated on the riverbank houses the ashes of countless human beings. So "Mahaprayan Ghat" is an ordinary cemetery just like the local cemetery in your neighbourhood.

All should be aware that the mahaprayan program is not a new phenomenon that started in 1990. As we see, Dr Rajendra Prasad had his mahaprayan in 1963, and for ages and ages before that so many humans have had their mahaprayan. Since the Sanskrit language came into existence - thousands of years ago - the mahaprayan term conveys the idea of the death of a human being.
Sadly, some have been indoctrinated into believing that mahaprayan is something divine for Taraka Brahma. They were brainwashed in this way. The truth is that in India and so many lands where Sanskrit is used, the mahaprayan program has been in vogue. Verily there is a "Mahaprayan Ghat" in Patna - a cemetery for normal humans.
Every Ananda Margii should be clear on this point: Mahaprayan is the observance of someone's death. That someone may be a neighbour, or a bank clerk, or a school teacher, etc. The death of any citizen regardless of their social standing is their mahaprayan.

Treating Baba as mortal, is sinful
Remember the program of mahaprayan is used to indicate the death of an ordinary human being who has made their departure from this world. That is why such a gathering is not done for Taraka Brahma because He did not depart - He is the eternal Parama Purusa. So the mahaprayan is for regular humans, i.e. mortals. And to apply this to that vast, timeless Entity - the Parama Purusa Baba - is sinful.

"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." (1)
Conclusion
Some think that we should live happily and not care about all these things. That is the wrong approach and defeats the purpose of creating the organisation. All kinds of societal dogmas were in vogue, and Baba has given Ananda Marga ideology to eradicate those dogmas. Naturally then, we must not allow such dogmas in our very own organisation, AMPS. If we ignore those dogmas it defeats the purpose of the formation of Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha. The use of the mahaprayan program for Taraka Brahma Parama Purusa is a dogma. There is no annual mahaprayan observance for Lord Shiva nor Lord Krsna. The mahaprayan dogma is polluting our Ananda Marga society.

Magic Of The Science Breathing - Svaravijiṋána
Lord says, "The process of breathing has a great influence on the human mind and self, or soul. Suppose a person is running: his or her breathing immediately becomes heavy. In that condition he or she cannot think properly; the sensory organs such as the tongue, nose, etc., cannot function properly, and as a result one's perception is impaired. Moreover, the process of breathing, depending upon whether the breath is flowing through the right nostril or the left nostril or both nostrils, influences people in various ways..."
"When doing a heavy job while breathing normally, a person might have serious difficulties – perhaps ones limbs might be broken – but in a state of baddha kumbhaka, or púrńa kumbhaka [with the lungs full], one can easily do the same work. While doing some over-strenuous activity in a state of shúnya kumbhaka [with the lungs empty] one might even die."
"Suppose you are climbing to a high place or lifting a very heavy load. If you do not follow the system of breathing while lifting the load, your hands may become painful or your bones dislocated. If you do the same work in a state of shúnya kumbhaka, you will have great difficulty – you may even collapse. If, on the contrary, you perform any strenuous activity in púrńa kumbhaka, taking a deep breath, you can easily do it. All this comes within the scope of that svaravijiṋána. You might have read in the Rámáyańa that Hanuman, by taking a deep breath, made his body swell and lifted a whole mountain. Although it is a mythological story, it refers to the science of svaravijiṋána." (Namah Shivaya Shantaya, Shiva – the Focal Point of Everything)
