Namaskár,
The Editorial of Prajina Bharatii (PB) magazine #249, entitled “Service to God”, presents some fake and bogus notions on service. To begin, see this below highly problematic paragraph from their Editorial:
So in the Editorial our Prajina Bharatii Dadas are saying that one
should not serve or help those suffering people in distress if that
threatens or hinders one’s own safety and well-being. If anyone is in
distress then keep distance and do not invite trouble - and if some
problem is going to come then run away. That is the fundamental spirit
of the Editorial.
Now let’s first see what Sadguru Bábá has spoken about the importance of service or sevá in the life of a sádhaka.
Ananda Marga philosophy states, “One who does not come forward to help when seeing a person in distress is unworthy to be called a human being – he or she is a slur on Ananda Marga.” (1)
In His above guideline, Baba’s directive is that if there is someone in distress then service must be rendered - help must be given, otherwise one is a slur in the name of Ananda Marga. So Baba’s teaching is full of courage and bravery. Baba does not qualify that one should not come forward if it might be a little dangerous. Rather running from the scene is the sign of a coward, a sub-human - i.e. a slur in the name of Ananda Marga. So in all circumstances and in all conditions one should help those in distress.
Yet the Prajina Bharatii editorial suggests some cowardly approach in the name of serving others. So this is an inappropriate position to take as invariably situations arise whereby we must tak risk to help and serve others. For instance, if a weak person is being harassed and bullied in front of our eyes then it is imperative to step forward and save the situation and not run away like a cowards. One must do something to save the weak. The sádhaka is to provide kśatriyocita sevá.
Ánanda Márga ideology states, “kśatriyocita [martial service] is security service, helping the weak.” (2)
Ananda Marga philosophy states, “One who does not come forward to help when seeing a person in distress is unworthy to be called a human being – he or she is a slur on Ananda Marga.” (3)
Came home from school with a bloody nose
And indeed Sadguru Baba is keen that one should always help those in distress - regardless of the circumstances. Who can forget the occasion when Baba’s younger brother Himanshu Ranjan came home from school with a bloody nose. All the family members asked him what happened and Himanshu explained that he was walking home when he saw some older boys picking on and bullying one small, younger boy. The boy was weak and defenseless and the older boys were hitting him. So Himanshu rushed to the boy’s defense and fought off the older boys and in the process Himanshu got a bloody nose. All the various family members scolded Himanshu and said to avoid such trouble next time otherwise he will get hurt again. Then Himanshu went to Baba and told Him what happened, and Baba was very proud of Himanshu and He told Himanshu that he had done the right thing and that he was a hero.
Prajina Bharatii editors preaching cowardly dealing
Sadly, the editors and publishers of Prajina Bharatii #249 are unworthy in this regard. They are preaching cowardly behaviour while Baba is teaching bravery. If Ananda Margiis follow what those editors are telling then nobody will join the police force, fire brigade, or even the village security unit etc. These editors are unworthy to propagate Ananda Marga ideology. They are preaching their cowardly things in the name of Ananda Marga ideology. That is sinful.

(Note: Only those who sincerely practice the higher lessons of sahaja yoga meditation can understand this song in the depths of their heart.)
"Je gán tomáke shonái,tumi ki shono ná priya..." (Prabhat Samgiita 4471)
Purport:
O’ Parama Purusa, O' my dearmost, don't You listen to the song which I am singing for You? That song which is coming from my heart, is that to be neglected? The song which expresses my innermost, heart-felt longing and yearning for You, is that to be ignored? Please tell me, O dear.
O' Divine Entity, the flower blooms and blossoms on this earth and emanates a sweet aroma all around. But after some time that same flower is just lying in the dust crying. Then can this be overlooked - should it just be forgotten?
Baba, O’ Parama Purusa, after showering all sorts of blessings upon me, if you make me impoverished then please remember the request of that impoverished fellow sometimes. In the past we were close, but now, because of my shortcomings, You have forgotten me. Our love should be beyond all merits and demerits, so please don’t neglect me. Please do not forget this request...
Note: If you would like the audio file of the above Prabhat Samgiita kindly write us.
