Baba
Mahaprayan of British tennis player
Namaskar,
Here below is a public announcement in the newspaper about the mahaprayan of a British tennis player. Using "mahaprayan" to signify the death of a human being is a common phenomenon in my Bengal. The mahaprayan program is everywhere; it is widely used for all kinds of people to signify their death. It is not something special or unique. This below person was just a normal human being.

The last two words of the title of the below newspaper article are 'maha' & 'prayan' in Bengali script. They have been marked in red.
Here is the mahaprayan announcement about this British tennis player. If you type this in as a Google search you will see it there as well.
In this article - as well as in its regular usage - mahaprayan is used to insinuate the death of an ordinary person who has made his departure from this world. That is why this program must not be used for Taraka Brahma because He did not depart - He is the eternal Parama Purusa. So the mahaprayan term is for ordinary humans, i.e. mortals.
Yet, the period of mourning should not extend beyond twelve days. That is the rule as per Baba’s guideline in Caryacarya, but B group has been mourning for the past 35 years.

Must follow Baba's example and root out dogma
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 bestowed the teachings of Ananda Marga 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.
Here again it should be emphasized that the concept of mahaprayan means the death of an ordinary human - this is the meaning. So it is not something lofty, great, or divine, and is not meant to be used with Taraka Brahma.

More about tennis player from the BBC
Following is more about the deceased, BBC wrote as follows:
Elena Baltacha: Former British number one dies of liver cancer
Former British number one tennis player Elena Baltacha has died of liver cancer, aged 30.
Born in Ukraine and raised in Scotland, Baltacha revealed she had the illness in March.
Baltacha, who was British number one for nearly three years.
So it is very interesting. The BBC used the word "died", and in my Bengal they used "mahaprayan."

Death directly translated as mahaprayan
So two different newspapers delivered the same news in their own language with their own terminology: One used “died” and one used “mahaprayan.” This demonstrates that this mahaprayan concept is not something lofty or divine - and it is not a program for Taraka Brahma.
Some opportunistic people, knowingly or unknowingly, want to ruin Baba's grandeur and soil the greatness of Parama Purusa. That is why they are projecting Baba as an ordinary mortal.
Every Ananda Margii must stop and think
So I ask you: Pause and think. This letter is not about groupism; this is an issue of bhakti. Guru is being abused. Don't you think Guru is with you always? In the tantra of Ananda Marga, sadhana starts with this feeling that, "Guru is with me." One must have this basic feeling. So naturally every Ananda Margii thinks Sadguru Babs is with them. Then why are we allowing this dogmatic annual death ceremony, i.e. mahaprayan.

*आखिर प्रउत व्यवस्था ही क्यो....?*
आदित्य कुमार writes:
प्रउत व्यवस्था अंतर्गत *कृषि नीति* पर चर्चा करते हैं......
कृषि नीति:* वर्तमान समय में कुल आबादी के 70 % लोग कृषि पर ही अपना जीवन यापन कर रहे हैं। अनेक राज्यों में सिंचाई के साधनों तथा बिजली का अभाव है। कृषि मानसून पर ही आधारित है। समय पर खाद, बीज तथा दवाएं सरकार उपलब्ध नहीं करा पाती है। कभी सूखा तो कभी बाढ़ से फसलें नष्ट हो जाती है। कृषि उत्पादो के मूल्य लागत के बराबर नहीं मिल पाते हैं, इसलिए कृषि पर आधारित रहने वालों का जीवन स्तर बहुत निम्न होता जा रहा है। आय दिन गरीबी तथा भुखमरी से तंग आकर किसान या तो आत्महत्या कर लेते हैं या कृषि छोड़ शहरों की ओर पलायन कर लेते हैं। कुछ लोग मजदूर बन जाते हैं और कुछ लोग बीघा बेचकर कट्ठा खरीदकर छोटा मोटा धंधा करके गुजर बसर करते हैं। परिणामस्वरूप कॄषि उत्पादन का वृद्धि दर घट रहा है।
इसलिए आज वर्तमान परिदृश्य को देखते हुए श्री श्री प्रभात रंजन सरकार द्वारा प्रतिपादित प्रउत व्यवस्था के नीतियों को लागू करने की जरूरत महसूस हो रही है।
_*प्रउत व्यवस्था के अंतर्गत कृषि संबधित निम्नलिखित नीतियां है जिसे लागू कर कृषि और किसान के हालत में सुधार लाया जा सकता है......*_
(क) कृषि को उद्योग का दर्जा दिया जाए। जिस प्रकार उद्योगों को कच्चा माल, बिजली आदि बुनयादी सुविधाएँ कम मूल्य पर उपलब्ध कराई जाती हैं उसी तरह किसानों को खाद, बीज, दवाएं, बिजली, पानी आदि सस्ते दर पर उपलब्ध कराया जाए । इसके साथ साथ टेक्नोलॉजी जैसे कि बीज, ऑर्गेनिक खाद आदि का निःशुल्क उपलब्ध कराया जाए। तथा उत्पादन मूल्य को ध्यान में रख कर अनाजों का मूल्य निर्धारित किया जाए।
(ख) कृषि को सहकारिता के आधार पर संचालित किया जाए तथा कृषि में केवल 30-40 % लोगों को ही नियोजित किया जाए और उसे लाभकारी बनाया जाए।
(ग) कृषि उत्पादों को गाँव में ही तैयार किया जाए । अर्थात कॄषि पर आधारित उद्योग गांव में ही होने चाहिए। जैसे आटा, मैदा, सूजी, फलों के रस, चावल, दाल, बेसन, सत्तू, दलिया, पॉप कॉर्न, सॉस, गुड़, घी, तेल, चाउमीन, कुछ तरह के मसाला, चिप्स, नमकीन, कुरकुरे, आदि। सभी उपलब्ध कृषि उत्पादों को उपभोग के योग्य बना कर ही शहर में भेजा जाए, न कि कच्चे माल को। इस तरह गाँव में रोजगार उपलब्ध होने के साथ ही साथ किसानों को उचित मूल्य प्राप्त हो सकेंगे ।
जिस इलाके से कच्चा माल बाहर भेज दिया गया, समझिए उस इलाके का आर्थिक शोषण हुआ।
ये सभी उद्योग सहकारिता के आधार पर विकसित होंगे।
(घ) सूखे, बाढ़ आदि जैसी प्राकृतिक आपदा से फसल नष्ट होने या प्रभावित होने पर सरकारी खजाने से शत-प्रतिशत क्षतिपूर्ति की गारंटी दी जाए। इसके लिए कृषि व्यवस्था को "राष्ट्रीय आर्थिक प्रतिष्ठान" घोषित किया जाए।

Re: Confused Avadhuta
Namaskar,
Here following is an updated paragraph - kindly take note:
In this below image, an orange-clad avadhuta is leaning over towards a photo that is mounted on a chair. The chair is draped in a decorated white cloth, and the photo has a blue background and depicts a mustached man wearing a brown buttoned vest and a white cap. This is an Indian political leader. And this avadhuta is standing to the left side of that photo and garlanding that Indian political leader. It is so unfortunate. That avadhuta should have full reverence for Baba, but instead this Wt is glorifying and garlanding this Indian political leader.
In Him,
Y. Lingappa

We Can't Stay Here A Long Time
Baba says, "Human beings come onto this earth for a very short period, and within this short period they are required to complete everything. So there is a great deal of work to be done, but the time is very short. Thus intelligent people make the best use of every moment of their time - wasting one's time is the height of foolishness. Why? Because no human being will remain on this earth for long, and the very goal of human life is to attain Parama Purusa, the Supreme Stance. Human beings, while moving forward towards that Goal which is fixed before their minds, will have to perform many worldly duties. That is why it is said, 'Keep one hand on the feet of Parama Purus'a, and with the other hand do your mundane duties'." (AFPS-4)
