OPEN REPLY TO VISHVADEVA
Namaskar
All,
Vishvadeva’s
letter is focused on following two suggestions :-
1.
The other religions and their followers in the world celebrate MPD so we should
not oppose it.
2.
Ending MPD only is not the solution of uniting organization or solving other
burning problems inside it
Regarding
point (1), it is quite natural that the common people follow in the footsteps of
their seniors, but following blindly is not advisable. The followers should
apply their mind to the act they are intending to follow.
Ananda
Marga philosophy has never supported those thoughts which are dogmatic or may
become dogma in the future. Rev. Baba has proven how Lord Shiva, Lord Krsna,
Buddha, and Mahavira's teachings were deformed and distorted by the so-called
jinanis and followers, and they deviated the society form the right path. Rev.
Baba's entire endeavour has been to eradicate all sorts of dogma and ill
thoughts from the society and not to give birth to any such irrational,
illogical ,unscientific thought. Appending MPD in CC and then changing it in
various other names itself proves that it is the first step to give birth to
strong base to establish dogma, which is against our fundamental
principle.
I
mean to say is, that ours is the defectless path and ideology established by
Taraka Brahma Himself which means others should follow us not we to others (who
are limited by their own dogmatic views). What the other religious groups of the
world are doing is not our object. We are to be strict to follow our own
spiritual ideology because we are not a religious group like others. As a true
follower of Rev. Baba all should oppose such acts and thoughts which pollute the
society for generations together.
Regarding
point (2), it is a general rule of nature that the solution of any problem lies
within the problem itself and the place where it is created. It is more
difficult to cut and eradicate a huge banyan tree than to remove it in an
earlier growing stage. MPD in AM , if not eradicated at this stage, will
generate many other irrational ideas leading to rituals like Hindu priests.
Ending MPD may not solve all the problems inside Ananda Marga or unite all the
groups, but it will certainly save the Ananda Marga society from
degeneration
To
raise sound against dogma and its parallel thoughts, is our
birthright.

CAN’T BE PIG
Warning:
This below letter is very sensitive and devotional It raises a very subtle
point. Those who do not have faith in Ista should not read this letter. They may
not understand - and may get frustrated. So please watch out. If you are not
strict in Ista, please do not read.
Namaskar,
I
read the letter how brother Vishvadeva equates Parama Purusa Baba with human
beings. Brother Vishvadeva remarks that since others paths observe an annual
death day for their guru or leader, like Ramana Maharishi and Jesus, then that
same death day observance should be done for Sadguru Baba. That is the logic and
comparison made by brother V.
Perhaps
we should apply the same type of logic to Vishvadeva.
For
instance, a pig has a nose and two eyes and brother Vishvadeva has a nose and
two eyes. So by this logic should we just treat brother V as a pig. We can just
call him pig. What will be wrong by this. After all, both brother V and a pig
share those very same characteristics - one nose and two eyes. So V must fall
within the pig category.
By
that way Vishvadeva will learn something.

Naming
in Saḿskrta Means
“Naming
is a matter of great consequence. The names must imply an imposing meaning.
Naming was a memorable ceremony among the Áryas. The name has a very
significant bearing over the mind. The mental awakening corresponds to the
vibrations set in as a result of pronouncing the name. A particular attraction
is attached to the words.”
“The
human society has to be unified. It must have one standard. Naming in Saḿskrta
means providing one standard.” (Táttvika Diipiká)
