Group fight: bloody incident - you may or may not be aware

Namaskar
A Hindi newspaper recently reported how the police had to intervene after a fight broke out between two factions of our AMPS.


Part 1

Here following in English is a brief summary of that newspaper article (appended below in part 4):

The building of the Ananda Marga Gurukul public school near Gandhi Nagar pond at Godda has been claimed to be owned by two different two groups of Ananda Margiis. On Sunday,

In order to capture the property H group went there and started to do kiirtan - so they used kiirtan as a way to capture the property. The in-charges running the school opposed this capture and fight broke out on the ground floor. the groups quarreled and Ac Sukhadiipananda and Parasna’th Pandey of Barahat were seriously wounded along with other margiis. Local police have detained members of both the groups for further inquiry. In this way, the groups have come on the road for their internal clash. There are nearly a few hundred local children who attend this school. (Summary by Dr. TR Sukulji)


Part 2

Namaskar,

Groupism is a curse in AMPS. A fierce group fight happened between Ranchi and 3rd front supporters on 13th September that published in Indian Newspapers. Godda town is situated between Deoghar and Bhagalpur city in Bihar / Jharkhand.

Godda AM school is controlled by 3rd front dada Ac Mahaviirananda Avt. Godda school land is registered in the name of AMPS. In the beginning, Anandamarga School and its structures were in ruins. Therefore, Ac Mahavirananda Avt decided to construct a beautiful AM school building and make the school healthy. As he was posted in NY sector, he collected funds gradually and constructed huge AM building at Godda and made school healthy. Now approx. 300 kids are studying there. He made a Trust that controls administration of school.

Considering profitable AM school, some Ranchi WTs planned to takeover Godda AM school in absence of Mahaviirananda dada. Ranchi group gathered six WTs and many margis and reached Godda AM school. They had meeting in school and had some hot discussions with school admin. Some school kids started crying in panic and rushed to their parents. Parents / guardians of school kids gathered entire village and attacked Ranchi WTs and their margis. In this fierce fight, all Ranchi WTs and some margis got injured seriously. They are now in hospitals. It was grace of Baba that some fighter WTs are busy in Deoghar DMS, otherwise some margis, parents might have been ……..in this violent fight……..

 Ranchi group only wants to capture AMPS properties and in future, if needed, sale off AMPS properties. Now, new Anandamarga lands are not being registered in the name of AMPS after watching such fierce fight and selling of AMPS properties by Ranchi top WTs.

Brotherly Yours,
Arun



Part 3

"All groups are invited to our functions" -
Those who think like this are naive

Some think that, “I do not have any bias towards any of the groups. I maintain friendships with everyone. All the groups are invited to our functions.” Those who say like this are naive and do not know what could happen.

When the lines are drawn and groups are formed, then at any moment a group fight may burst out over land holdings, power, money etc. To this end, huge resources and manpower are misused for infighting and bringing others into their fold.

That is why Sadguru Baba does not appreciate party politics.

Ananda Marga ideology warns us, “Party politics is one of the factors which stands, or tries to stand, in the way of human unity. In fact party politics is even more dangerous than disease-causing germs. In party politics all the refined attributes of the human mind, such as simplicity and the spirit of service, slowly but surely get totally destroyed.” (1)

Note: Guru’s guidelines condemning Groupism

   Ananda Marga ideology guides us, “Party politics is one of the factors which stands, or tries to stand, in the way of human unity. In fact party politics is even more dangerous than disease-causing germs. In party politics all the refined attributes of the human mind, such as simplicity and the spirit of service, slowly but surely get totally destroyed. Party affiliation commands more respect than individual ability; service to self, not service to people, is the main motto; ministerial office, rather than human welfare, is considered superior; and mass deception, political somersaults, etc., are most common phenomena.”
  “Instead of rectifying themselves, politicians want to accomplish everything through their grandiloquence. By identifying the weaknesses in others and by resorting to bombastic language, they incite one section of people against another so that they can usurp the seat of power and cling to it. Human beings will have to remain vigilant against persons of this type.”
  “Politicians want to poke their noses into every aspect of life: social, religious, educational, literary, etc. Under the hypnotic spell of power, politicians remain oblivious of the fact that experience and wisdom in various spheres of life cannot be acquired by merely mouthing high-sounding slogans from public platforms.” (2)


   Ananda Marga ideology warns us, “Honest and benevolent individuals should carefully steer clear of party politics. The question may arise, In the absence of party politics, will honest individuals succeed on their own in forming governments or in serving the state? Is there any necessity for organized endeavour? In answer to this question I will say that those who are honest, who really want to promote human welfare, and who believe in a world government and the ideals of Ánanda Parivára [a blissful, universal family], must possess the spirit of mutual cooperation. They may form themselves into boards exclusively for the purpose of rendering social service collectively (and not for fomenting politics), but it will not be proper for such boards to contest elections.”
   “People should cast their votes for deserving human beings – not for the lamppost holding the party ticket.”
   “To further the interests of the party, party politics may publicly oppose something which is often secretly encouraged. Communalism, provincialism, casteism, etc. – none of these are considered bad for the sake of party interests. The only identity of human beings is that they are humans – living beings. Party politics strives to keep people oblivious of this fact – it tries to pulverize the psychic wealth of human beings under the steamroller of party interests.” (3)


   Ananda Marga ideology guides us, “The common people can be temporarily bewildered by the chicanery of party politics, and this is especially so when politicians happen to be good orators. By the power of their oratory, politicians try to escape from the consequences of their misdeeds. It is noticeable that politicians, to further their party interests and to enhance their individual power and position, do not hesitate even to cause suffering to millions of people. Perhaps, out of a sense of duty, the common people should impeach (in a court of justice) culpable politicians.”
   “By merely delivering a few fiery lectures before less intelligent common people, the protagonists of party politics tear apart all the hopes and aspirations of the common people and undermine their prosperity. Various bizarre ideas jumble the minds of the common people, and they become dumbstruck.”  (4)


 Ananda Marga ideology says, “Those guided by group psychology are like ravenous tigers. Of all the different types of flesh, human flesh is said to be the most delicious. That’s why the tiger that has once tasted human flesh will raid a village if it cannot get human flesh in the jungles. If it happens to see human beings nearby, it will immediately attack them without bothering about domestic cattle. Where the analytical approach is ingrained in people’s social psychology, separatist tendencies flow through their bones, blood and marrow. Such people become extremely avaricious for human flesh. That’s why those who have rejected the path of synthesis and are guided by group psychology and have accepted separatism as a political creed, are lying in ambush to catch any group for their blood. Beating the drum made from the skin of their victims, they announce to the world that they have annihilated the separatist elements.” (5)
