Loud Wailing

Namaskar,

Here is the announcement of the mahaprayan of President Hugo Chavez, a communist leader and kind of dictator of Venezuela. This mahaprayan news was printed in big, bold headings in the Bengal newspapers. Indeed, Chavez was a self-described Marxist. So through and through, in his personal and political life he was a tried and true communist.

So even those communists who do not follow any religion or believe in God or spirituality, even they get a mahaprayan in Bengal. This was announced in big, bold headlines in Bengal. Thus in the English speaking world, they wrote about the death of Chavez, and here in Bengal they wrote about the mahaprayan of Chavez. That is because mahaprayan is a death ceremony in Bengal. The two are synonymous - it is a regular phenomenon, not some great event.

Wailing at Hugo Chavez mahaprayan

See here below how the concept of mahaprayan is used in our Bengali publication to mark Chavez's death. The Bangla term “mahaprayan” is the 4th Bangla word of the first line below the photo - it is outlined in red font. Using the term "mahaprayan" to signify the death of a human being is a common phenomenon in my Bengal. The concept of mahaprayan means the person is dead. That is why the person below holding the placard or banner with Chavez's photo is crying terribly - i.e. wailing. Because Chavez has died - i.e. mahaprayan.

The Bangla term mahaprayan is the 4th Bangla word of the first line in the above photo - it is outlined in red.

In the above newspaper article - as well as in its regular usage - the program of mahaprayan is used for the death of a human being who has made his departure from this world. So the entire concept of mahaprayan is not some lofty or extraordinary devotional ideal, rather it is something mundane and common that even gets used for communist dictators like Chavez. The concept of mahaprayan means that person is dead.

That is why the mahaprayan program is not to be done for Sadguru because He did not depart - He is ever present.


How MPD harms bhaktas

Baba is not an ordinary human being - He is not mortal. He is the all-pervading Parama Purusa and Sadguru. If one is not keeping this ideal in their heart, then they are not even on the first step of Ananda Marga spirituality. The initial phase of Ananda Marga spirituality starts with the feeling that Sadguru is always present with me.

In Ananda Marga an annual shraddha ceremony / shraddhainjali  (annual death day commemoration) is not allowed. Unfortunately, even then some confused people are doing an annual death day ceremony for their Sadguru. The moment one thinks that Sadguru is no more with me, then their spiritual life will collapse. In the field of bhakti, one should never think that Baba is no more. Yet this is the overall message of the mahaprayan function.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com

The annual mahaprayan gathering violates the code of Caryacarya. No aspect of Ananda Marga ideology supports the program of an annual death ceremony  observance.

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, "The period of mourning should not extend beyond twelve days." (1)


Some Wts are displaying hypocritical behaviour

When our Avadhutas acaryas give initiation, or revise anyone’s lessons, or give further lessons of sadhana, our Dadas say, “I am just a medium - Sadguru Taraka Brahma Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji is teaching you and He is ever-present."

So in one breath our Wt dadas say that Sadguru Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji is guiding you and in the next breath they say He is dead - mahaprayan. That is both hypocritical and sinful. Hypocritical because they are telling one thing and doing something else. They are telling that Guru is no more in their mahaprayan program, yet when teaching sadhana they are relying on Him. And it is sinful because it is abusive against Guru.

It is similar to your own children playing before you and talking among themselves that, “My mother is dead.” As a mother, how will you feel. And not only that, they go one step ahead, before your eyes they started commemorating your annual death day ceremony

How do you feel about their ignorance? True bhaktas never participate in the dogmatic annual death day ceremony / mahaprayan of the ever-present God. That is against pre-1990 Caryacarya.” How long will we allow Guru to be insulted and put down in this way.

Namaskar,
In Him,
Bibek Roy

Sadguru Baba is guiding you and in the next breath they say He is dead - mahaprayan.

True bhaktas know that there is no such thing as mahaprayan for Sadguru Baba. As the Sadguru He never passes away, He is omnipresent.

Family planning operation is bad for health

Prout philosophy states, "Vested interests do not favour population growth because this will mean sharing mundane property at the cost of their hoarding. Capitalism would like the extinction of the intellectual class as this would give it free scope for exploitation. The intellectual class usually belongs to the middle income group. Capitalists encourage family planning and birth control to check the growth of this middle class, thus these measures are a creation of the capitalist order."

"Due to age-old superstitions the common people does not take help of these measures. It is the middle class intellectuals who adopt these practices and become the victims of them. A Proutistic order would vehemently oppose this move. There is immense potential for maintaining the population of the world. By scientific advancement it may be possible for human beings to live on tablets. The real glory of humanity lies in creating conditions for adjustment with natural processes rather than in curbing normal processes by artificial measures."

"Artificial sterilisation means making males or females artificially sterile. This has certain adverse effects on the mind and body of human beings. Sterilisation brings glandular changes and changes in the hormone secretion of the glands which ultimately affects mental expression. Due to these changes a man may become like a eunuch. According to PROUT only severely handicapped people and born criminals should be sterilised." (1)

Animals and medicine

   Ananda Marga philosophy states, "Moonlight is not a medicine like sunlight is. Rather moonlight often overwhelms the mind with a different kind of emotion. However, the qualities of medicinal herbs and plants are affected according to the difference in moonlight, that is, in accordance with the lunar day and lunar fortnight. So there are rules for removing medicinal plants from the soil, preparation of medicines and their uses in accordance with the lunar day. The medicinal qualities undergo changes during the different periods of the day, so one should use medicines with that factor in mind; at least it is better if it is done so. Those medicinal herbs and plants or those medicines whose qualities are affected according to the difference in lunar day or planetary position are called kulyá. So you see, this also is a meaning of the word kulyá."
   "Not only have human beings used plant substances for medicines since ancient times, they have also prepared medicines extensively from animals. In the Ayurvedic, Vaidyaka and Unani systems of medicine, animal substances, such as the livers of different animals and partridge fat, were used extensively. Who is not familiar with the medicine prepared from the body of a goat and oil from the hornbill? Medicines used to be prepared from the livers, pancreases, etc., of different animals in the allopathic system of treatment. In recent times they have been used for insulin. Cod liver oil and shark oil are frequently used. They are used not only as oral medicines but also in injections. Medicines such as naja, cina, and apis in homeopathy are completely of animal origin. Killing an animal in order to save the life of a human being may not be a very good practice, but it can be done when there is no alternative. This is a universally accepted principle. But when medicines are prepared by killing animals, it should be done as far as possible from those animals which are the born enemies of human beings. Those who are not the born enemies of human beings but are their natural friends should not be killed." (1)

Putridness of Madhuvratananda + 2 more

Baba

Putridness of Madhuvratananda

Namaskar,

It is well known that in the life of an Ananda Margii conduct and character are everything. This is especially true of our Wts.

Ananda Marga ideology states, “Those who have the responsibility to show the path to others should be of superlative character with the most refined conduct...Persons who teach such well-regulated behaviour to others by their own conduct are called ácáryas.” (1)

Baba’s guideline is that our Wts and acaryas must be of sterling character; then only can they lead and teach others. Indeed, without proper character, one is not an acarya.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com


Rudrananda’s Wt cadre: character is meaningless

Unfortunately, Rudrananda has imposed a completely opposite manner in today’s AMPS. Rudrananda rewards only those of debased dealing, i.e. those who utterly lack character. This is especially true of his top stooges like Madhuvratananda. And even worse is that those stooges feel in their heart of hearts that really having proper character is of no value. Because see what just happened at the recent sectorial RDS in Ananda Nagar.

So-called Madhuvratananda delivered the closing address at the Delhi sector RDS in Ananda Nagar (20 - 23 August 2019). And in that address so-called Madhuvratananda invented his own slogan and then justified it over and over again. And remember, this is a speech he is delivering to our Wts of Delhi sector.

So-called Madhuvratananda stated, “Character is lost, nothing is lost; money is lost something is lost...”

According to Madhuvratananda, one’s character is meaningless, and that money is of greater importance. And this is the so-called inspiration speech to all the Wts of Delhi sector. The message he is giving to all those Wts is that, “Your character has no value. You may behave in a depraved manner and it is just fine.” That is the shocking statement that so-called Madhuvratananda gave to all those Wts.

Baba: character is most essential for acaryas

Kindly compare Madhuvratananda’s motto to Sadguru Baba’s below dharmic guideline.

Ananda Marga ideology states, “Those who have the responsibility to show the path to others should be of superlative character with the most refined conduct...Persons who teach such well-regulated behaviour to others by their own conduct are called ácáryas.” (2)

Marga Guru Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji Baba guides us that character is the top most ingredient for being an acarya, while so-called Madhuvratananda is stating that character is meaningless.

How Rudrananda poisoned AMPS

Of all the ills and dogmas Rudrananda has infused into our AMPS, the absolute worst is the destruction of the quality of our Wt cadre. Rudrananda wants his stooge Wts to be depraved and engulfed in illicit behaviour so that he can best control them. That is why all his top stooge Wts like Madhuvratananda allegedly have wives and girlfriends and are submerged in all kinds of untoward affairs etc. The repercussions of this know no bounds.

Ananda Marga ideology states, “Bear in mind that people may be harmed or misled by even a small weakness or defect in the conduct of an ácárya.” (3)

Conclusion

Baba guides us that ours is a man-making mission. That means we should be of sterling conduct, especially this applies to our Wts. Without that, they should not be even considered as acaryas.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com

Ananda Marga ideology states, “Acárańát pát́hayati yah sah ácáryah – “One who teaches through one’s conduct is an ácárya.” If you cannot learn anything from the conduct and behaviour of a certain person, why should you accept that person as an ácárya/á?” (4)

In Him,
Gopal

Importance of proper character

Here are more of Baba’s guidelines about the importance of having strong character.

[A] Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Leaders especially must be people of high moral character, otherwise the welfare of society will be jeopardized.” (5)

[B] Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Teachers must possess such qualities as personal integrity, strength of character, righteousness, a feeling for social service, unselfishness, an inspiring personality and leadership ability.” (6)

[C] Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Judges should be carefully selected from among those whose strength of character is irrefutable.” (7)

[D] Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, “One whose character is not in accordance with Yama-Niyama should not get opportunity for becoming a representative.” (8)

[E] Ananda Marga philosophy states, “The easiest way of practising asteya, as in the case of all other principles of Yama and Niyama, is auto-suggestion. If people, right from the childhood, remember these codes and remind themselves what is correct, they will not go astray when they grow up – even in the midst of temptations – and they will be able to maintain the high standard of thoughts and character.” (9)

Warning: bad character is harmful

Here Baba warns us what happens when one lacks proper character.

[A] Ananda Marga philosophy states, “It is due to lack of strength of character that the talents of many good singers, actors and other kinds of artists have prematurely withered away before attaining full development.” (10)

[B] Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Those who are professional hypocrites will never perform spiritual practices. Even if they deliver high-sounding speeches on spirituality to further their own interests, they will not be able to inspire the common people to adopt spiritual practices, because they themselves lack the required strength of character.” (11)

So-called Madhuvratananda’s full slogan

There is a common Indian proverb: “Wealth is lost, nothing is lost; health is lost, something is lost; character is lost, everything is lost.”

So even the common folk value character. But Madhuvratananda wants to wipe out this idea.

Madhuvratananda’s full slogan is, “Character is lost, nothing is lost; money is lost, something is lost; devotion is lost, everything is lost.”

The tragedy is that so-called Madhuvratananda only has devotion for Rudrananda, not Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji. If Madhuvratananda had bhakti for Sadguru Baba then he (so-called Madhuvratananda) would follow Baba’s teachings about proper conduct and character etc. But sadly, the king stooge Madhuvratananda only has devotion for Rudrananda, and that is why Madhuvratananda has become such a depraved fellow of poor character, not even worthy of being called a Wt.

Please make me Yours

"Arúp ratan tumi priya, ákáshe tumi háso vátáse tumi bháso..." (Prabhat Samgiita #2571)

Purport:

Parama Purusa my innermost, You are the Formless Entity. You are Nirguna Brahma, but now You have appeared before me as Taraka Brahma. You are smiling in the sky, and You are floating in the air everywhere. Arup Ratan, it is my only request that You please make me Yours.   

Baba, Parama Purusa, always again and again I go on asking for Your karuna regularly. I do not have anyone as mine, but You are my eternal companion. Everyone's future is situated in You. Whatever You like that will happen. My Lord, please look towards me with Your gracious gaze.   

Baba, Parama Purusa, again and again I have come on this earth. How many times I took birth on this earth as animals, plants, or humans, and died I don’t know. Everything is residing in Your mind. You are the Creator. You are the saviour; because of that You are the most adorable One.   

Formless Jewel, Baba, You are my most Adored...

   
Notes for Prabhat Samgiita #2571:

[1] Arup Ratan (Formless Jewel): When that formless Entity comes in the form of Taraka Brahma then in that unique expression He is the link between the world of form and formlessness. And He can bring sadhakas into that eternal abode - divine stance of formlessness. Indeed by meditating on Taraka Brahma, devotees attain moksa.

1-25 Bha'vah bha'va'tiitayoh setuh Ta'rakabrahma

Purport: The bridge between Nirgun'a Brahma and Sagun'a Brahma is called Ta'raka Brahma. (Ananda Sutram)


[2] Karun'a': In the second stanza, the term karuna has been used. This is when one harbours a deep sense of empathy, is pained by another's suffering, and feels, "I should help them.” For example, suppose a beggar is wallowing in misery. By seeing his wretched condition, you felt, "I should help him and remove his agony.” This heartfelt feeling is the expression of karuna'.

Similarly, suppose a bhakta is suffering and unable to progress in the physical, psychic, or spiritual realms for any reason. In such circumstances, Parama Purusa cannot bear to watch that sadhaka suffer. He feels He must rescue them immediately. With His deep empathy and mercy, Parama Purusa removes their agony, so that once again that bhakta can progress in all realms of life. This entire liila is called His karun'a'.


Difference Between krpa' & karun'a'
 
In the case of karun'a', Parama Purusa is moved by a bhakta's suffering and comes forward to save that bhakta. Whereas with krpa' (grace), the bhakta is not suffering but even then Parama Purusa is bestowing His blessing.

It is just like if a beggar is sick and suffering half-naked in the freezing cold. If with great empathy a passerby selflessly helps that beggar without expecting anything in return, that is karuna’. Because the passerby is moved and motivated into action by seeing the beggar's suffering. In contrast, if a student is not sick, and that person just wishes to give the student a gift, then that krpa’.

When out of empathy Parama Purusa lovingly comes to the aid of the suffering bhakta to relieve them of their spiritual strife, that is the karuna of Parama Purusa; and, if that same bhakta is not suffering in the spiritual realm, yet Baba still bestows His blessing to enhance their bhakti, that is His krpa’ on the bhakta.
