Questionnaire:
yes & no



Namaskar all,
At this time of the year the Tiljala campus is a frenzy of activity in preparation for the so-called "mahaprayan diivasa" programmes. The preparation supercedes that of preparation for Ananda Purnima.  Huge scale lobbying for margiis to attend this programme is going on. At the same time there is growing opposition to this programme.

The BIG dilemma:  "Should Margiis attended this programme which is increasingly being labelled as dogma?


Here are a few statements regarding  "Mahaprayan diivasa" . If you agree with the statement say YES and if you disagree say NO. If you are uncertain simply read Baba's books.


(1) The mayaprayan programme was NOT given by Baba in Carya-Carya.
                 
        YES      NO


(2) By adding in the appendix (mahaprayan diivasa) to Caryacarya Part 1 implies that Baba's teaching is incomplete.

        YES      NO


(3) The directives given by Baba to His devotees is full of optimism. Mayaprayan (Death) programme is a pessimistic outlook.  It is a yearly reminder that Baba is dead and gone.

        YES      NO


(4) The Prabhat Samgeet “Tumi esechile kauke  na bale" was never commissioned by Baba to be the theme song for Mahaprayan.

        YES      NO


(5) Mayaprayan diivasa is NEVER observed for Lord Krisna. Krisna is very much alive in the hearts and minds devotees.

        YES     NO


(6) Nowhere in Babas numerous books is it stated that a memorial be created for Baba. It is unPROUTistic (a waste of resources).

        YES      NO


(7) Prostrating and dancing around "Babas mahasamadhi" is tantamount to tomb worship because this spot resembles a Muslim tomb like the one in Ajmer. The focus is now shifted from Baba's photos and the Pratik to a tomb.

        YES     NO


(8) Baba has stated clearly that the mourning period should NOT extend beyond 12 days, yet this “sad” mahaprayan programmes has being going on for 22 years.                            

        YES      NO


(9) If the (mahaprayan diivasa) is not removed now from Cc, it will become official  and for the next 20 years, 100 years, 3500 years devotees must observe this day as a solemn (sad) day.

        YES      NO


(10) The Tiljala campus can never be a thirtha (place of Pilgrimage) because Baba did not approve of any “holy place” or thirtha

        YES      NO


(11) Food should not be be consumed at any shraddha as the food has been infused/prepared with an element of sadness. The "mahaprayan" directive states clearly that this occasion is  solemn as has to be observed as such.

        YES      NO


This exercise will help you decide on the question of mahaprayan. Thanks for your time and effort.

In Him who is eternal,
Amrit
