Baba
Namaskar,
The below photo depicts how mahaprayan Mahaprayana is done by all kinds of communities to observe the death of a human being.
In the below photo from my area are followers of the Jain religion. Shrii Bhiksu died 212 years ago. And this ceremony is observed annually on the death day of Shrii Bhiksu.
So here we are reviewing how Jains also do mahaprayan.
See how many have turned out for the occasion of the 212th anniversary of the death of Shri Bhiksu. They are keen to honor the annual death day.
As you may have noticed, the very top headline of the article contains the mahaprayan term in Hindi - counting from the right side it is the third word:
If you search for this in Google then you will surely find the article.
Naturally then, when the mahaprayan function is embraced by all as a death ceremony, then when it is done in Tiljala every year in October, the locals think that a death ceremony is being convened. They think it is in honour of the death of the Marga Guru.
Taken altogether, the situation is quite pitiful. Beloved Baba is the eternal Parama Purusa yet the mahaprayan organisers are treating Him like one ordinary mortal who died.
It is just like how Lord Buddha was against caste dogma, but the moment Lord Buddha left his physical body then his own disciples were quarreling over which caste gets to keep his ashes. How ironic.
And now insidea similar thing is unfolding in Ananda Marga. Sadguru Baba is against the annual shraddha dogma, yet certain Wts have imposed this in Ananda Marga.
Baba is the Sadguru - the all-pervasive, timeless Divine Entity. So limiting Him via the dogma of mahaprayan is wrong.
"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." (CC-2, Sadhana, pt #1a)
The only way to embrace this above eternal truth is by eradicating the mahaprayan Mahaprayana program from Ananda Marga.
In Him,
Ramkripal
The motivating factor for creating the dogmatic mahaprayan program was geo-sentiment. That is why one group invented this program. And that is why it is not easy to remove their desire to host this mahaprayan ritual each year. Because geo-sentiment is very binding and it is not easy for people to escape its noose. That is why every year so many oppose this MPD program yet still the organisers continue to host it. Geo-sentiment is the main cause.

HOW IRONIC - GURU OPPOSES DOGMA
THEN DISCIPLES APPLY THAT DOGMA TO GURU
