SEE WHAT IS PRINTED ABOUT TILJALA MAHAPRAYAN IN BANGLA NEWSPAPERS

Namaskar,

Here below is cutting of a daily Bangla newspaper  - Bartaman.  The main point of the article is that this is the 24th annual death day observance of Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji.

  For those who do not know what mahaprayan is in India, please see below.

Mahaprayan is done by Muslims to observe the death of those mainly of the Islamic faith. Those followers bury their deceased and then perform yeay tomb worship on the anniversary of their death.  So 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. It is widely observed for the death of a human. So it is not something divine. It is not something for the eternal Sadguru. And it is not a new phenomenon that started in 1990. For ages and ages, so many humans have had their mahaprayan. Since the Sanskrit language came into existence - thousands of years ago - the concept of mahaprayan conveys the idea of the death of a human being.

MAHAPRAYAN OF MUSLIM FOLLOWER:

MAULANA ABDUL LATIF CHAUDHURY

Here below is a public announcement in the newspaper about the mahaprayan of a Muslim man named Maulana Abdul Latif Chaudhury. This is a common phenomenon in my Bengal. The term mahaprayan 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 not an Ananda Margii.

The last word of the title of the below newspaper article is the term 'mahaprayan' in Bengali script:

In this article - as well as in its regular usage - the term mahaprayan is used to insinuate the death of a man who has made his departure from this world to God. That is why this word is not used for Baba because He did not depart - He is the eternal Parama Purusa. So the mahaprayan term is for ordinary humans, i.e. mortals.

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 created 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.

 

 SANMATI SAGARJI'S MAHAPRAYAN

See below this mahaprayan ritual that it typical of India. There is a pile of wood and placed the deceased there; and there are people all around - well wishers and loved ones and they are pouring milk on the deceased before final cremation. They do this to purify the body. And soon they will burn the body. This mahaprayan ritual is done just before lighting the body. Note: See how the mahaprayan term (highlighted in blue) was used in the top-center of the below image.

 

Namaskar,

in Him,

A Few Important Points

“Casteism is a burden on the Hindu society. All the year round they preach casteism but on the polling days they decry it. This is wholly undesirable. It is better to avoid all titles. Titles signify the caste. If casteism is to be wiped out, it is incumbent to discard the titles. It is commendable if everyone adopts uniformity on title – Deva. Persons using a particular word more often will influence their minds with the meaning of that word. People are reluctant to use the word dása because this word signifies slavery. Whenever the so-called low caste people catch an opportunity, they declare themselves as belonging to the so-called elevated caste, etc. It is an ideal to become deva and for this reason Deva title should be adopted.”

“Titles of the present society have undergone considerable changes during the past fifty years, the cause being that everyone aspires to pertain to an elevated caste. The so-called Shúdras also use the sacred thread. This is only an effort towards the concealment of one's identity. By this means, they conceal only their disregarded status. This is to be regretted. It is consequent on social debility that they harbour the desire for changes in their situations. It is out and out purposeless to convene All-India Conferences or particular castes. All of them desire to assert and establish their rights. This is simply misuses of energy and money.”

“The consent of those embraced must be sought for before renaming them in Saḿskrta. Language has got nothing to do with religion and as such, there is no reason for anybody depreciating the use of Saḿskrta. In this connection it may be added that the great emperor Aurangzeb used the term sudhárasa (juice of nectar) for mango (original Saḿskrta term for mango is ámra) and saddharma for Islam.” (Táttvika Diipiká)
