Re: JAGRTI SALE: 

FALSEHOOD EXPOSED

Namaskar Brothers and Sisters,

This kind of [land] selling - spurious and illegitimate - has been done in Mexico, with AM properties, in recent years.

The "so called" legal president of Ananda Marga de la Republica Mexicana (AM legal  association for AMPS in mexico), Yogendra, has been systematically selling AM properties - most of them in the city of Monterrey in the northeast  area of Mexico-: land, houses, cars and others material goods  inherited to AM by Gagan (besides, Yogendra  appropriated a big bank account in Texas). All the sellings have had the approval and complicity of SSNY Acarya Vimalananda Avadhuta.

No margii has been consulted, no AM field worker had or has been consulted (not even senior acaryas like Dada Shantatmanandaji who was posted in Mexico).

As soon as they know that you oppose these [land] sellings they start to make false accusations regarding every opposer.

They also changed the by-laws of the organisation in order to gain control of the local organisation with the help  of lawyers and  fake margiis (non-margii people who are presented in the legal meetings required by law).

These kinds of actions should not be permitted in our organisation.

in HIM,

Rajesh

JAGRTI SALE: 

FALSEHOOD EXPOSED

Namaskar,
There are many places where our Ananda Marga jagrtis, Baba Quarters, and land holdings are being sold and in queue to be sold.

Note 1: FIND OUT THE RING-LEADER

You may have heard that Ranchi administration has placed the New York sectorial office up for sale. The cited para below in brown font tells more about that. This has been going on for some months - initially in secret. And now it looks like really a sale is going to happen soon.

When the report first surface months ago, and margiis complained about it, then NY SS Ac Vimalananda Avt and his cohorts denied any such activity. Now it is clear who the alleged liars and criminals are. Because they are pushing like anything to make the sale. This is all going on under the direction of Ac Rudrananda Avt. GS Ac Citsvarupananda Avt is “yes man” to Dada Rudranandji; and PP Dada Vishvadevanandji himself is a coward and a puppet. So the real key figure and ring leader behind all this is Ac Rudrananda Avt. It is his voice at the top that has given the green light for this sinful dealing.

Everyone should be aware that Ranchi has been involved in similar types of work in Mexico and other places where they are selling off AM properties without margiis’ knowledge. And if we do not raise the voice, the same outcome will occur with NY sectorial office, and properties / jagritis in your area also.

For those not aware, here is some of the news that is spreading around the world about the sale of NY Sectorial office. As you can see, those at the helm have been trying to keep this news hidden.

Subject: Sectorial Jagrti of New York sector/ Dhyan Mandir
To: Ananda Marga Ranchi

Namaskar to all Disciples of Shrii Shrii Ananda Murti

"Today I am writing to  you  from  Jamaica, New York cave with all modern facility (basement) where  I am living. I am rented it to be alive. Although there is huge Jagrti in Corona [Queens, NY] of AMPS whose camp headquarter is Ranchi, India.

Let me tell you that I am worker of AMPS I am making an appeal to you all  to help me to follow the legacy of Baba. According to policy and principle of Samgha, the selling of Jagrti, Dhyan mandir is prohibited. It is not only a criminal act but sinful act. But Acarya Vimalananda Avadhuta was going to sell this Jagrti secretly with the help of Dhruva and New SOS Acarya Diiptimananananda Avadhuta. It got leaked out.

I have no idea where this heinous conspiracy was made. Selling of Sectorial Jagrti  was never discussed nor approved by SEC. It was even never discuss by any WT or Margiis. It was one man decision which is Acarya Vimalananda Avadhuta. Or If it was done by secret gang or group. I have no idea. I have made an appeal through  Facebook to AMPS Purodha Pramukha Acarya Vishvadevananda Avadhuta to intervene in the matter. MY appeal to him is to order SSNY Acarya Vimalananda avadhuta to stop the selling. If at all, if it is sold, it should be sold to any Disciple of Shrii Shrii Ananda Murti Ji .

If any margii or group of margiis have money please buy this holy place. It is vibrated with 25 years of sadhana and kiirtana. It is purchased and made by blood and sweat of Dadas, DIDIS, LFT and Margiis of New York sector. It breaks the heart of those people who work so hard to get it, maintain it and made it beautiful. It is already on sale. Almost everyday people are coming to buy. But  if it is sold to non margii, they will eat meat drink wine and do all nonsense work. The Place of worship will be polluted. Margiis can buy this property and rent some part of it and keep Dharma cakra hall which is also called Dhyana Mandir.

Going of Jagrti in the hand of Non-Margi is dishonoring GOD, GURU, and people who put blood and sweat to purchase it, maintain it and made it beautiful. Please come forward  to Make Baba Happy. This is special Jagrti because it was purchased on special instruction of BABA. I am very sick these days. I am not allowed to go alone. But soon I will get transportation which will take me from mu residence.

I could have written this letter long time ago. But I failed due to ill health or staticity  due to poor health. Ananda Maraga Inc Need to pay the money to Lawyers for Legal battle which is around 350000 to 400000. I could have easily arrange this money If I was in Good Health. Baba have always blessed me when ever such crisis came in my life.”

Thank You.
Acarya Iishvarakrsnananda Avadhuta

Mahaprayan of One Senior Avadhuta

Baba

MAHAPRAYAN OF ONE SENIOR AVADHUTA

Dear brothers and sisters,

Namaskar.

It is with much sorrow that I share with you news of the mahaprayan (death) of respected senior Dada - Acarya Shantatmananda Avadhuta. Dadaji’s mahaprayan occurred today, Tuesday, 16 Dec at 2pm IST. Dadaji had been ill for some time and now, alas, respected Dada Shantatmanandji passed - i.e. mahaprayan.

Many are aware of Dadaji’s longstanding service in our Ananda Marga. Dadaji was very senior and became a WT early on, and over the last five decades, Dadaji has lived and worked all over the globe propagating the teachings of Guru Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji. He held such posts as sectorial secretary, trainer Dada, and numerous other positions of responsibility.

May we all take solace in the fact that respected Acarya Shantatmanandji Avt was a devotee of Sadguru Baba. Certainly he will attain mukti or moksa, accordingly. Baba will lovingly bestow His grace.

With deepest regards,
Namaskar,
at His lotus feet,
Lalita

Note 1: MAHAPRAYAN (DEATH DAY) IS ONLY FOR HUMANS

PARAMA PURUSA IS ETERNAL

Here it should be qualified that there is both real mahaprayan and fake mahaprayan. Real mahaprayan marks the death of any ordinary human being. This is the proper use of the term: To note a person's departure from this earth. That is the meaning of the mahaprayan term and that is the standard way the term is used in Indian languages.

Then there is the fake, or so-called, or dogmatic mahaprayan. That is when certain vested interests try to apply the mahaprayan term to Parama Purusa Himself. This is grossly inappropriate because when Parama Purusa Baba is that Divine Entity who is beginningless and endless and resides always in our heart, then it is entirely wrong to proclaim that He is gone.

That is why rational margiis are protesting; because the Oct 21st program is so-called mahaprayan. So-called means that something is fake. Parama Purusa is eternal, thus for some vested interests to declare "mahaprayan of Parama Purusa" is nothing but so-called mahaprayan.

Mahaprayan only really happens in the case of human beings, not Parama Purusa.

Note 2: MAHAPRAYAN COMES FROM THE ISLAMIC TRADITION

* Mahaprayan (Death): Many are aware that mahaprayan (death) is the common term used in India and especially in Bengal to describe the death of an honoured or even ordinary person. In that way, the obituary columns of the newspapers of Bengal regularly cite the mahaprayan (death) of various persons of society who died or passed away.

Some may get confused and wrongly think that the word 'mahaprayan' (death) is one extraordinarily devotional term to be used in association with Parama Purusa. But that is not at all the case. Rather to do so is only to undermine the eternal presence of Parama Purusa. That is why no devotees ever use the word 'mahaprayan' in reference to Lord Shiva or Lord Krsna. Because Lord Shiva and Lord Krsna exist eternally. Then there is no question of Their mahaprayan (death).

Baba is Parama Purusa so He is eternal and there is no question of His mahaprayan.

Here it should be known that the convention of an annual death day ceremony (i.e. shraddhainjali or mahaprayan) is a foundation of the Islamic tradition. Muslims are well known for this, and their approach of an annual death day ceremony was adopted by those in Tiljala. So no one should think that mahaprayan is some type of sacred event. It is done on the death day anniversary of Muslims.

And for those who need still more technical proof then all this can be clarified quite readily by referencing the dictionary. Specifically in the Samsad Bengali-English dictionary on page 742. Checking there it will be confirmed that the word 'mahaprayan' means death. Which is why it used to refer to the passing away of even common citizens.

Note 3: STORY- SITTING ON BABA'S LAP MEANS DIED?
(contributed by one margii)

Recently after dharmacakra, a senior margii was recounting his experiences of having dharma samiiksa with Baba.

He said, "After being punished by Baba, then He called me close and placed me on His lap - I remained there for some time soaking up His love - and He blessed me."

We all enjoyed hearing about his personal account with Baba during dharma samiiksa. When he finished telling his story, there was a call for questions. Various people posed their queries.

"HOW DID BABA BRING YOU BACK TO LIFE?"

Towards the end, one new margii raised his hand and asked, "How did Baba bring you back to life?"

Everyone stared at the new margii in amazement. There was a look of astonishment all around - people were really shocked to hear him say this.

The new sadhaka sensed that something was awry.

He said very matter-of-factly, "I thought that sitting on Baba's Lap means that he (the margii) died - that is why I asked that question."

This was quite eye-opening for those of us in the room: Through our language and expression we had unknowingly taught someone to think that being on Baba's lap is the equivalent of death. Because it seems that nowadays people only use the phrase "Baba's lap" when a person has died, such as "Let him rest peacefully in Baba's lap", as if in order to sit on Baba’s lap one has to die. But that is false. Sincere sadhakas regularly sit on Baba’s lap in their meditation. It is His grace. It is just like a child need not die in order to sit on hi father’s lap.

SITTING ON BABA'S LAP

MUST NOT ONLY REFER TO DEATH

At that moment I thought that everyone, new and old, should be clear about the real and devotional meaning of this phrase, "being on Baba's lap." It should not become stigmatized such that it only means death. Because in its true sense, the phrase "being on Baba's lap" really does carry a highly devotional and sweet feeling.

It is just like how a small child sits on its parent's lap. In a similar way, a spiritual child (human being) sits on the lap of Parama Purusa. By Baba's grace this can happen anytime in one's sadhana, especially in dhyana. Such a phrase then should not become  stigmatized because too many people only use it at the time of death.

We should be careful that we do not relegate "Baba's lap" only to the point of death.

The connotation of death must not become synonymous with "being on Baba's lap." Because the phrase - "being on Baba's lap" - is a devotional experience that can happen today itself in sadhana, and especially in dhyana. The phrase "being on Baba's lap" should not lose this quality and only mean death. It should not meet the same dark fate as happened with the term harijan.

"SITTING ON BABA'S LAP" MUST NOT MEET SAME FATE AS "HARIJAN"

As we all know, these days in India nobody uses the term harijan to mean "a devotee". Whereas 70 years ago it was used in that way. The term harijan did mean bhakta. But ever since the time of Gandhi when he glued the harijan term to the lowest so-called caste, i.e so-called untouchables, nobody uses the the harijan to mean devotee. Never. Because the term harijan has been stigmatized to mean "untouchable". Nobody uses it to mean "devotee", but that is the original and true meaning of the word.

The phrase, "sitting on Baba's lap", should not meet a similar fate. It should not lose its devotional quality and just refer to one's death. That will be very negative.

BABA WOULD BLESS DEVOTEES AND PLACE THEM ON HIS LAP

There are thousands of recorded stories by sadhakas where they use the phrase, "on Baba's lap", when describing their experiences of being with Baba: He used to bless them and bring them on His lap. People should understand the deeply devotional value of this expression, and not just think that Baba's lap means death, i.e. that you can only sit on His lap at the time of death. Still today there are thousands of margiis walking this earth who sat in Baba's lap. And not only that, there are countless more sadhakas who were blessed by Baba in dreams and dhyana wherein they sat in His lap. And still today this deeply devotional experience is attainable by sadhakas, by His grace.

There are so many ways an aspirant can reach unto Baba's lap including in sadhana and especially during dhyana. That is the main idea that should be preserved. Sadhana is a devotional practice and one can sit on Baba's lap in dhyana. We should make it cent-per-cent clear to one and all that the phrase, "sitting on Baba's lap", does not mean death.

DOGMA:

NOW "ON BABA'S LAP" ONLY USED FOR DEATH

Here are quoted lines from recently posted emails on various forums, wherein the writer uses the phrase - "in Baba's lap" - with the occasion of death:

- "May he rest in HIS loving lap of eternity."

- "We are sure that Baba has taken him in His loving lap."

- "May his soul rest in Baba's lap forever."

- "Let her rest peacefully in Baba's Lap - which she always desired."

- "now he is in beloved Baba's lap"

- "May his soul get peaceful place in His lap"

- "He is now in BÁBÁ'S loving lap"

- "May Baba bless him with a seat in His lap."

- "May BABA accept him in HIS divine lap!"

- "May Baba take him in his eternal loving lap."

- "Please keep him on Your lap forever."

All of the above lines are commonly written in eulogizing the deceased. Of course, it is fine to write like that. Here the point is that this same phrase "in Baba's lap" should also be used when describing one's devotional practices and experiences. But these days mostly it is used in a eulogy and rarely used to recount one's devotional experiences - unfortunately. By this way, the phrase "in Baba's lap" is being misused and step by step the real meaning is being forgotten as now people more commonly use the phrase to eulogize those who have died, and much less so to express their devotional feeling. Unfortunately, the meaning and inner spirit of the phrase is getting lost.

People Of Bengal Not Supported Lord Krsna

Baba says, "During the war between the Kaoravas and the Pan'davas, the kings of Bengal did not take part. They thought there is no benefit in it." (Bam'la'r Itiha's, AV-10 [Bangla'])

The advent of Mahasambhuti on this planet is a grand event. Of course He does everything according to His divine plan. Those whom He graces work according to His direction and follow the command of Mahasambhuti. Those blessed souls who have a good samskara and strong devotion - and ultimately His grace - work unitedly under His shelter. Whereas those whose samskara is not good or are in a different flow keep themselves away. That is what happened in the Mahabharat era. From Afghanistan and Pakistan to Sri Lanka, and each and every nook and corner of south and north India, all the states including Nepal joined in to cooperate with Lord Krsna's divine plans and programs. While some like Duryodhana did not support. As Baba says in His above teaching, that time the leaders of Bengal did not support Mahasambhuti.

Something similar is going on these days also as some from Bengal are not supporting. They are disobeying Guru Baba: By their own whim they invented the dogma of mahaprayan and observe it annually. This was never given or approved by Baba.

~ Destroying All Isms & Dogmas ~

"Toma'r rather ca'ka' prabhu, egiye cale aharahah..." (PS #3469)

Purport:

O' Parama Purusa, O' Prabhu, Your victory chariot is moving forward ceaselessly, day and night - fighting against static forces, and pushing away all the darkness. O' my Lord, Your divine carriage is racing ahead. The gloom of staticity, dogma, and mean-mindedness is fading fast; it is being eradicated from this world. With the forward movement of Your golden chariot, the divine effulgence is spreading all around. It is such a beautiful & panoramic scene.

O' Supreme Entity, You are the Saviour of all. Nobody is left behind. All are marching ahead. If anyone does not have the strength to advance, then You Yourself lift them up and give them a place under Your shelter. So everyone is sitting on Your divine carriage, moving forward and singing the song of one Goal. Everyone is drenched in bliss (anandam); all are moving forward by Your grace. O' Prabhu, Your divine royal carriage is moving forward non-stop.

O’ my Lord, those who are travellers on the path of effulgence, path of sadhana, path of devotion, by Your grace, they feel they are kith and kin to one another. By smashing the iron prison of the mind, and destroying all isms like groupism and dogma, they blessed to receive a permanent place in Your shelter - at Your feet.

O’ Parama Purusa, O’ Baba, Your chariot of devotion is moving ahead. You have showered Your grace by giving me a place under Your shelter...
