Namaskar,
In issue no. 247, Dada S is propagating that more than 50% of the world’s population is suffering from diabetes and he furthermore tells that he is one of those patients / victims. According to Dadaji, the number of diabetic patients is approximately 3.7 billion. Here it should be noted that one billion means one thousand million. But according to the International Diabetes Federation there are an estimated 381 million people with diabetes. Thus Dada’s stated figure is grossly overblown. Dada was off by 3.3 billion - so he was completely wrong - not even close.
How did such a false figure get propagated?
The root cause is this: Dada Rudranandji placed his bootlickers in the post. And those bootlickers were utterly incompetent and unable to do the job. Thus the work could not be done properly.
Now read for yourself how Dada S made such a gross error. Those who read Hindi should see in this black box, i.e. black background with white font. There in Devanagari script, it is written in Hindi that the majority of people in the world suffer from diabetes.
The Dada person who wrote this and made such a claim is Dada
Satya’shraya’nanda and at the time of printing he was holding the post
of publisher / subscription of Prajina Bharatii. Not only that he is an
acarya board member.
These people are also responsible
These below Dadas are the in-charges of Prajina’ Bha’ratii (प्रज्ञा भारती) so they must also be taken to task for allowing gross error too:
Editor- A’ca’rya Ra’kesha’nanda Avt. (secy.-Purodha’ Board)
Sub-editor- A’ca’rya Ra’gamaya’nanda Avt (secy.-Avadhuta Board)
Subscription- A’ca’rya Nirmoha’nanda Avt. (secy.-A’ca’rya Board)
Namaskar,
in Him,
Shankar Singh

Re: Dirty ritual still thriving
Namaskar
Keep in mind one should never take food during a death ..vigil. The grief effects the food.all food is rendered tamasic. I never take food...when consoling the family of the deceased. Rather...try and see to thir needs. Should food be there...yes if the family so desires..so the family doesn't have an extra psychological burden that they did not feed those who came.
Yes the bhukti should carry the costs..of funeral and food.
Many countries bury their dead ..which is a practice that is changing to cremation. Wasted land...tomb stones with inscriptions..costs to purchase caskets ..embalming costs and costs to maintain the graves are way over the top. Here in Amerca..it's not unheard of to pay 20,000 dollars for a funeral. Even cremation alone can cost 5 or 6 thousand dollars. Can this wastefulness be supported ?
The body lies in a cooler for ten days waiting in line for cremation.
BABA has said that cremation of the body should be as fast as possible.
With the help of the Lord a new body is given according to samskaras. So a speedy cremation is important.
"when you run out of gas and cannot do any more work God gives you a new tractor"
Oh yes..in Germany where land isn't in plenty...they dig up the deceased after one hundred years cremate the casket and remains..and re sell the grave site. Capitalism knows no bounds.
In time the whole earth will be filled with graves.
Cremation is the only way to dispose of the dead.

O' Parama Purusa, You came in countless rhythms,
dancing and smiling, smiling and dancing
"Ayuta chande ese chile tumi,nácite nácite hásite hásite,..." (PS #146)
Purport:
O' Parama Purusa, with the resonance of melody and in the manana [1] of my heart, and the jingling of the ankle bell [2], You came in countless rhythms, dancing and smiling, smiling and dancing.
You came with the resonance of melody; You came with the manana of my heart, You came with the jingling of the angel bell. O' Lord you came, You came with the resonance of melody, O' Lord You came.
You came with the manana of my heart, O' Lord. You came with the jingling of the ankle bell. O' Lord, with the resonance of melody, and in the manana of my heart, O' Lord You came. In the manana of my heart, and the jingling of the ankle bell, O' Lord You came.
If I blossom as a flower on the branch, then You become fragrance and fill me always. If I become the distant sky, then You become blue and fill me always. [3] O' Lord, You fill me always. As a blue color You always envelop me.
If I become the distant sky, then You become blue and fill me always. O' Lord, You fill me always. You surround me from all the directions, You came in countless rhythms, dancing and smiling, smiling and dancing.
O' Baba, I am never alone. You are always with me, no matter what. You are ever gracious, I surrender at Your lotus feet...
Notes for Prabhat Samgiita #146:
[1] Manana: The contemplation or ideation of the Supreme Entity by repeating the Lord's name in the mind. This special process Baba has described in-depthly in His various teachings of Ananda devotional and spiritual life.
[2] Jingling of the Ankle Bell: This song carries great symbolic meaning and is the poetic expression of what the sadhaka feels in dhyana. So the "ankle bell" is not a physical bell attached to one's ankle nor does it refer to some type of bell that Parama Purusa is wearing around His foot. Rather when the sadhaka realises and feels the proximity of Parama Purusa in deep dhyana, then one hears this ankle bell sound within. That is the meaning of this metaphor in the song. One hears this ankle bell sound when in His close proximity. The phrase - Parama Purusa has come with His ankle bell - is just a poetic expression that holds greater symbolic meaning.
“The rhythm in which the vibrational flow of the cosmic mind vibrates the annamáya kośa of individual microcosms – veins, nerves, arteries, blood, lymph, etc. – is the initial stage of the divine cosmic sound. When this sound is heard in the anamáya kośa it resembles that of a cricket. When this cosmic sound vibrates the kámamaya kośa it resembles the sound of ankle bells. In the manomaya kośa it resembles a flute; ... in atimánasa kośa, the resonance of a gong; in vijiṋánamaya kośa the buzzing of bees or the rolling of ocean waves; and in hirańmaya kośa, a prolonged oṋḿ sound. Thus the cosmic sound is expressed in various ways according to the degrees of crudity or subtlety in relation to the fundamental factors. There are various physical and psychic expressions centring around the various degrees of cosmic sound. When one’s mind is confined to a particular stratum one hears the sound peculiar to that stratum only. A person who lacks concentration of mind cannot hear any expression of the cosmic sound. In the field of spiritual practice the divine sound is expressed in a spontaneous way.” (AMIWL-6, The Expansion of the Microcosm) [from Veńu / Flute]
[3] Two More Metaphors: The metaphor of the sky and its blue color indicates how they are inseparable. The sky and blueness cannot be made distinct from one another. The two are inextricably inter-linked. In the same way the devotee and Parama Purusa are inseparable. Similarly, the flower cannot be separated from its fragrance; where there is a the flower there is fragrance and where there is flower fragrance there is the flower. The two are completely part and parcel of each other. Here again this refers to the inherent link between the Lord and the bhakta. Parama Purusa is always with the devotee - one cannot remain separate from the other. Parama Purusa comes with His omnkara dhvani (eternal sound) the bhakta gets attracted and merges in Him.
