Baba
Communist Infiltrated Hindi Prout Magazine
Namaskar,
Via the medium of an article supporting the communist agenda entitled, “आन्दोलन के द्वारा छात्र एक नये संविधान की मांग करें” (1) published in Hindi Prout magazine’s April 2016 issue, ideas contrary to Ánanda Márga and Prout philosophies are being propagated. This article reports an incident that took place on the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) campus in India. A communist student organization held protests and raised anti-India slogans in favor of Pakistani terrorists who attacked the Indian Parliament building where 14 people were killed, and so many injured. (see note 1)
In due course, the terrorists were punished in a court of law. And the JNU communist student group opposed that court decision. And supporting the communist party, our Hindi Prout magazine wrote one long article, unfortunately. This posting is about how our Hindi Prout magazine supported the communist secession agenda, by going against Baba’s fundamental teachings.
Prout Says Kashmir is Part of India
All Proutists must know that Prout teaches us Kashmir is part of India. Pakistan’s infiltration into Kashmir, capturing certain areas, is nothing but infiltration and cannot be supported. See the below quote of Shrii Prabhat Rainjan Sarkar, where He clearly says that Pakistan is the culprit. In the chapter “Talks on Prout”, it is said--”The Pakistan infiltration into India cannot be treated as a justified move. The planned way in which this infiltration is going on indicates that it is motivated by expansionism”. (2)
The article published in our Hindi Prout magazine (1) supports the left-wing communist protesters demanding secession of Kashmir from India (see the below excerpt from the article and its English translation).
For translation of the above Hindi Prout magazine excerpt, see note 2.
Disunity In Any Country Is Disastrous
Bábá does not support disintegration of any nation. Referring to the example of separatist tendencies in India in the 1960’s, Prout philosophy teaches us--
“To save India the present leaders should immediately chalk out a policy to convert the people of India into a strong nation...If the leaders do not do this, I am afraid the political unity and geographical integrity of India will be affected at any moment; especially when there are fissiparous tendencies active in the country. We should not forget that in the past it was the want of unity which brought India under the yoke of slavery time and again. If there is lack of unity at present, it should be understood that India has become intellectually bankrupt.” (3)
Baba teaches that unity is required for social and spiritual progress. Lack of unity is the cause of social problems and certainly not the solution. The Hindi Prout magazine article on the other hand contravenes Guru’s teachings by supporting the communist call for secession of Kashmir. This line from the article belies its pro-communist purposes: “Is a peaceful movement for demanding secession from state anti-national? Those who say that it is anti-national are wrong.” (1) Such communist rhetoric supporting secession is a dangerous threat to the unity of India or any other nation. Bábá refers to the nation disintegrating communist tendencies as “fissiparous” and teaches us to counteract against them. The article instead is supporting these tendencies, which goes against His teachings.
Communism & PROUT are Not the Same
Communism Is State Capitalism
Communism is based on the idea of state-controlled economic centralization, which results in hoarding of capital by the communist leaders. Because of this, communism is not different from capitalism in terms of exploitation inflicted on masses. Bábá refers to communism as state capitalism. Prout on the other hand is based on economic decentralization. There is no similarity between communism and our Prout philosophy. Yet the Hindi Prout magazine article which is supposed to propagate the ideals of Prout is supporting communist ideals. The Hindi Prout magazine article is invoking communist leaders such as Annadurai to demonstrate that the leftist communist students’ demands are justifiable. This is completely off-track as the Hindi Prout magazine is not a communist journal. Allusions to the life and teachings of leftist communist leaders like Annadurai have no place in Prout. The Hindi Prout magazine article is supporting secession on the grounds of communistic thoughts which Ánanda Márga does not support.
To make the matter worse, the article sprinkles some Prout teachings to further confuse the readers. The mixing of leftist communist teachings with Proutistic teachings can make the reader think that the article writer is explaining national issues in the Proutistic context. But this is not so. The article is written by a communist Infiltrator pretending to be Proutistic but in reality is attempting to propagate the leftist communist ideals.
The ongoing student movements supporting secession based on communist philosophy are deeply flawed and are a waste of energy of young minds. Instead, these young minds should cultivate national unity based on anti-exploitation sentiment. Such a fight against exploitation will promote and protect national unity. And once that is achieved, in the long term, developing a positive mindset of spirituality will create to a rock solid proto-spiritual sentiment with which a new world order based on one spiritual inheritance can be established. This alone is the solution.
In Him,
Bhakti
Notes
Note 1. The communist student protest against the capital punishment sentencing of 2001 Indian Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru (2). The leaders of this protesting student body were arrested on the charges of sedition. The two issues, namely, anti-India slogans and arrests that took place after that caused controversy.
[Courtesy Wikipedia] The 2001 Indian Parliament attack was an attack at the Parliament of India in New Delhi on 13 December 2001. The perpetrators were Lashkar-e-Taiba (Let) and Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorists.[1][3] The attack led to the deaths of five terrorists, six Delhi Police personnel, two Parliament Security Service personnel and a gardener, in total 14[4] and to increased tensions between India and Pakistan, resulting in the 2001–02 India–Pakistan standoff.[5] [Courtesy Wikipedia]
Note 2. English Translation of Hindi Prout Magazine excerpt: “The question is what is and what isn’t anti-national. Is a peaceful movement for demanding secession from state anti-national? Those who say that it is anti-national are wrong.”

The Prout Hindi magazine article does not directly mention communism or the term “left” anywhere-- which may make an unsuspecting reader wrongly think that the article’s writer is not supporting communism. However, it is well known that the JNU communist student group is leftist and the students are calling for the secession of Kashmir from India, a platform supported by communists-- and the article is openly supporting this student group. In addition the article refers to Annadurai who was a communist leader and is alluding to his separatist movement as a proper one. Thus it is proved that the article is supporting communist ideas of dividing the Indian nation-- and doing so in the guise of Ánanda Márga (as the article is published in a leading AM magazine Prout).

Prout in a Nutshell 19
“The Government of West Bengal has failed to curb this secessionist movement. Its only business is to divert this movement into animosity against the Central Government to try and procure some advantage in the elections. Whatever may be the objectives of the communists, the people of West Bengal have understood their selfish intentions. The law-abiding citizens of West Bengal are extremely concerned with the rapes, murders, police firings and large-scale violence which has occurred recently.”
“In fact, the Gorkhaland issue is not an isolated political problem of a particular ethnic community, but an artificial issue initially created by the undivided Communist Party of India and their agents. In 1977 the Marxists, with the sole intention of grabbing political power in West Bengal, began to arouse the Gorkha sentiment by demanding autonomy for the Gorkhas and the recognition of the Gorkhali language. The foolish, narrow-minded politcal leaders could not realize that their spurious policies would one day boomerang on them. Strangely, the communists are now trying to avoid the poisonous tree of Gorkhaland which they themselves planted. With their characteristic cunningness, they are trying to mislead the population of West Bengal by claiming that the Central Government is inspiring this secessionist movement.”
“Let the historic role of the communist party vis-a-vis the Gorkhaland movement be exposed! In 1947 the Communist Party, in collaboration with the communal and secessionist Muslim League, raised the slogan for the partition of West Bengal. At the same time they also raised the slogan for the formation of a separate land for the Gorkhas. In fact, the term “Gorkhaland” is 40 years old and was last used by the Indian communists. The communist party demanded that Gorkhaland should comprise Sikhim, parts of Nepal and a few districts of North Bengal, including Darjeeling. This would be the separate homeland of the Gorkhas. In order to create a solid political base amongst the Gorkhas, the communists raised the Gorkhaland issue, but at that time the movement was not very effective.”
“In 1977, when the communists came to power in West Bengal, the old political leaders of the Marxist Communist Party revived the old Gorkhaland sentiment which has now transformed the northern part of the state into a land of utter chaos and bloodshed. Innocent, peace-loving Bengalees are now fleeing from their houses in Darjeeling in terror, and becoming refugees in the adjoining districts of Coochbihar, Jalpaiguri, etc. In their home state, the Bengalees are virtually refugees. But the Gorkhas, who are the real outsiders, are demanding that the Bengalees quit Darjeeling.” (Prout in a Nutshell 19)
