Baba

In memory of Dada jii

Note: This letter is only for those who have reverence for Sadguru Baba Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji and try to follow His Ananda Marga ideology.

Namaskar,

When Dada Nirmoha'nanda came to town with his magic rings and stones - i.e. sphatik (white stone), and other items - then my margii friend (Ram) became quite interested. After all, Dadaji was telling that these rings and stones (a) are very powerful, (b) save one from all kinds of problems, and (c) will fulfill all one’s desires etc. And Nirmoha'nanda was telling that the rings and stones he was selling were very special because he sits in the cemetery all night long doing sadhana with those items to infuse them with spiritual energy. Hearing all this from Dadaji, my margii friend Ram became quite intrigued. To get confirmation he spoke with some other senior margiis and wts. They started laughing and told him that Dada N's trade / business is false, and that sometimes he even uses empty threats with people as well * (see asterisk note below). Bear in mind that even if someone brings their cargo of stones and rings to the cemetery for all-night sadhana, those inert rings and stones can never be infused with spiritual power etc.

Why palmistry, horoscopes, fortune-telling, & astrology are anti-dharma

When anyone puts faith in inert, mundane, materials like magic rings, stones, fortune-telling, or palmistry, then for them the eternal, all-powerful entity Parama Purusa becomes secondary. And that brings their spiritual degeneration. Those people think that these rings and crystals are the main powerful force in this universe, not Parama Purusa. This mentality breeds anti-spiritual feeling as it goes directly contrary to basic spirituality. So while this entire situation is bad from top to bottom, there are two clear-cut immediate losses in the spiritual realm:

#1: Those who follow this type of dogmatic approach rely more on their, inert, mundane, materials and stones than on Parama Purusa. They think that fake paraphernalia will save them in their hour of need, not the Divine Entity. Once that happens, their inherent link with the Sadguru Parama Purusa is severely compromised as they are looking in another direction not Parama Purusa.

#2: When they wake up in the morning - instead of doing Guru Sakash - they look towards their stones and so-called magic rings. Yet it is the practice of Guru Sakash that makes the whole day blissful and successful, while looking towards those mundane rocks and rituals just makes the mind inert.

Lucrative operation and his sales ploy

So our Dadas should not resort to these ritualistic dogmas like magic rings, sphatik (white stone), palmistry, and other materials used by religious traders. But even then a few indulge in this - i.e. they follow Dada Nirmoha'nanda’s example.

Now see what Dada Nirmoha'nanda was doing: Most often he would purchase materials from a wholesale supplier at a very low price and then would sell them at an exorbitant price to naive margiis. Dada would then tell everyone that he meditated in the cemetery all night long with those stones and rings so they have special force. This was his sales pitch. At DMS he would sell maximum so-called magic rings so he could turn a hefty profit.

Dada Nirmoha'nanda was running this lucrative operation for years and years. Seeing his large income, some other Dadas became enticed into doing this as well. They have begun studying palmistry etc almost full-time, privately, in hopes of creating a giant client base like Dada Nirmoha'nanda did. They too want to make "easy money." Plus a few Didis have taken a keen interest in this activity as well.

All in all, Dada Nirmoha'nanda created a recurring problem because not only was he doing sin, but he was introducing this to younger dadas to continue this dogmatic ritual generation after generation. That is the terrible harm that was done by Dada Nirmoha'nanda's approach.

Thus Dada N was wrong and those Dadas following his tactic are committing a double-sin. Firstly, they are preaching dogma in the form of fortune-telling and fate. Secondly, they are associating those tricks with all Ananda Margiis. In consequence, good people will get the wrong impression about Ananda Marga. Rational-minded people will think we are no different from the ritualistic, outdated religions.

Save them from sinful business

It is our duty to come forward and save Dadas like Omnkareshvarananda from emulating Nirmoha'nanda. Although Dada Omnkareshvarananda is not as aggressive. So we should not sit idle as they systematically degrade themselves by continuing to cheat the public and general margiis by selling such inert, mundane rings, stones, and other materials - all the while preaching the dogma of fortune telling etc.

Through His philosophical teachings and guidelines, Baba tells us that no Ananda Margii should resort to or put trust into palmistry and fortune telling. That is the main teaching of this letter. Those Wts who cheat margiis in this type of dealing are confirmed sinners.


Conclusion

Our Dadas should not get scope to become religious traders by dealing magic rings, magic stone, sphatik, white stone or crystals. Nor should any Dada of the Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha indulge in ritualistic and dogmatic horoscopes, astrological readings, palmistry predictions etc. But some are following in Nirmoha'nanda footsteps. In place of doing true dharma pracar, for his business dealings Dadaji made janma kundalii (horoscopes at the time of birth) and charged for palmistry readings.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com

All these points stand as sufficient reason for why no one in Ananda Marga society should give any credence or value to such inert, mundane rings and stones or any other type of fortune-telling venture. Only one should meditate on Parama Purusa.

Namaskar,
In Him,
Prashant Mahato


Importance of history

Baba places great importance on the study of history as it enables both individuals and communities to learn from past mistakes and thereby progress. Failing that, without the study of history, people commit the same old blunders over and over again. In which case, they remain shackled by the crimes of the past and are unable to advance. So the review of history holds a unique place for the progress of any society.


Pretend to be virtuous while harbouring sinful thoughts

Ananda Marga ideology guides us, "To shake off the influence of Avidyámayá one must take shelter in Him. To count beads or practice ritualistic worship without directing one's mind towards the Supreme Entity is of no use. To pretend to be virtuous outside while harbouring sinful thoughts within is absolutely meaningless. Such hypocrisy carries no value." (1)

Ananda Marga ideology teaches, "In the absence of love any service or penance is for show and is therefore fruitless. All ritualistic devotion, sham penance, counting beads etc. are meant only for public show and true love and the Supreme goal are lost from sight. Brahma cannot be attained through actions, since the sweetness of joy is lacking in such ritualism. On the other hand the divine bliss is easily attainable to those who base their Sádhaná on love." (2)

Sadguru Baba warns us against the use of such inert rings and stones etc as they are a hindrance to spiritual life. Not only that, on multiple occasions, Baba personally warned Dada Nirmoha'nanda not to indulge in palmistry fortune-telling and other such dogmatic dealings. But time and again, Dadaji returned to his habit. Sadly, he disobeyed Guru's order and plunged himself into this endeavour.

Do not be a fatalist

With a clear and pointed mind we should all abide by His tenets and never get caught up in any fortune-telling episodes. A true sadhaka should rely on Parama Purusa alone and help others do the same. Then they will not become victims of any type of religious trader. Finally, may we all work to cure those following Dada Nirmoha'nanda’s bad example.

Ananda Marga ideology guides us, "There are many people who are fatalists. They are worshippers of fate. A fatalist means a worshipper of fate – a worshipper of fortune or fate. They are worse than nature-worshippers. What is fate? There is nothing such as fate in this universe. So far as the philosophy is concerned there cannot be anything called fate. What is fate? Everyone has to undergo the reaction of his or her past actions, the reaction of the original action. Suppose your finger comes in contact with fire; you will feel pain, you will have to suffer but, at that moment one will say that because your finger came in contact with fire, that’s why you are suffering. But when the reaction takes place after a long gap, and when the original action is not known or has been forgotten, or when the original action took place in another past life, and you do not know what was the original action – in that case you say, it is fate, it is fate. But actually there is no fate. What you call fate is actually the reaction of our past actions. In saḿskrta, it is called saḿskára, in Latin “reactive momenta”. So the third thing is, fate cannot be the object of ideation – fate is simply the reaction of the original action. So when there is no original action, there cannot be any reaction. The reaction is a creation of your own action. When the reaction is a creation of your own action, you are the creator of the action. So, how can the reaction be your object of ideation? No, a person must not be a fatalist, a fate-worshipper, a person must be bold and bravely face all troubles, all consequences. No one should be a fatalist. So fate cannot be the object of meditation. Fight against fate." (3)

Dogmatic article in bhakta samaj magazine

Some time back there was an article written in the Bhakta Samaj magazine (of which Dada Santoshananda is the senior editor) that stated that Baba was powerful and dynamic because He was born under a certain configuration of stars. The point being that certain stars were controlling His fate etc. This is the dogmatic approach that was published in the Bhakta Samaj magazine. We should all be keen to ensure this type of dogmatic writing is not repeated or reproduced etc. Otherwise people will think our Marga is just like those dogmatic religions. So we should be perfectly aware about this so we can remedy the situation and prevent further mistakes in the future.


* Dada N threatened me also

Here I should also recount my own experience from a few years back. Dada Nirmoha'nanda came to me also and gave me a monkey threat that I should obey him and give him large donations otherwise he (Dada N) would go to the cemetery and arouse his avidya tantric powers and curse me. Dada N then took another angle. He said that if I give him a big donation then he will fulfill all my worldly desires. Depending upon how much I gave him, he would do japa 1000 times or 2000 times in my favour. But if I did not give him anything then he would curse me. I just kept quiet. I was frustrated but did not take any action out of my concern and fear.

Later, I came to know that what happened to my friend and I are not isolated cases, nor limited only to Dada Nirmoha’nanda. Dada Govindananda threatens to curse people if they do not do as he says. And he promises boons if people financially support him. It is clear to me now that these type of so-called avadhutas are off track. They should be given a lesson to bring them back on the right path.

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Read any so-called religious book: one will seldom find anything resembling tolerance of the religious beliefs of others...If necessary, different views can be compared and presented in philosophical books. The philosophical and psychological loopholes in an argument may be pointed out without being disrespectful.” (4)

Resonate in Your heart

PS Intro: Just like a small child who lovingly and sweetly complains to its mother, in the same manner here the bhakta is lovingly placing his complaint before Parama Purusa - the nearest and dearest One. This type of very close and intimate relation is characterized by tremendous sweetness and love. That is what is depicted in this song.

Above average bhakti needed to understand this song: This type of feeling develops when one’s sadhana is of a very high standard - by His grace. Those with lower sadhana will not understand this song.

If sadhana is dry - then one will think the feelings expressed in this song are odd or peculiar. It is just like when a child is young then it has tremendous degree of love for the mother and will cry when she is not present. As one ages though that degree of love steadily declines such that older children think it is strange how a young child is crying for its mother. Because that older child does not have that high degree of love for mother. Similarly, to understand this song, above average bhakti for the Parama Purusa is needed.

"d́eke jái sáŕá náhi pái,e kii kat́hin hrday, kat́hin hrday..." (Prabhat Samgiita #3184)

Purport:

My Parama Purusa, through my sadhana, bhajana, kiirtana, I go on calling You, but I do not get any response from You. How can You ignore my call. What an unkind Entity You are. It seems my cry does not resonate in Your heart; otherwise, You would respond. Supreme Being, sometimes You come close in my sadhana, and sometimes You go away far away whereby my mind becomes dry. And from there You smile, keeping Yourself distant. What type of drama or divine play is this of Yours.

Baba, You go on floating on the tidal waves of the ocean, with the melody and rhythm of the dance on the sea. I always feel Your sweetness and tales of affection. In all the ups and downs of my life, I invariably feel Your presence in my heart.

Parama Purusa, Baba, You are ever-present, in all the ages; You remain all the time as the Immortal Entity. You never get lost and are present in those memories which have already faded away. Your flow of eternal love is in the nucleus of everything, manifested or unmanifested. Everything is saturated with Your blessing. It is Your grace.

Baba, You want to listen to my call again and again, and that is why You do not respond. This is Your loving expression....

Condition of women: reduced to cage birds

Ananda Marga philosophy, “The social and religious rights of women were curtailed in numerous ways so that they would be kept forever in thrall to the men. They were even forbidden walking in the open space under the open sky. Covered in burkas and veils, they were reduced to the status of caged birds living on seeds and water. It was decreed that they were not entitled to their ancestral property. The girls were given much less than the boys. It was categorically declared that they were not entitled to mukti or mokśa; that women go to heaven, it’s true, but the men get all sorts of privileges there that women cannot get. These rubbish ideas have died out due to various circumstances. In some places they are in the process of extinction, and in other places they are totally extinct.” (1)

तीनों तकलीफ़ों से बचानेवाला है कीर्त्तन

तो, मनुष्य में ये जो तीन तरह की तकलीफ़ हैं, इन तीनों तकलीफ़ों से बचानेवाला है कीर्त्तन | क्यों ? न, कीर्त्तन तुम्हें परमपुरुष की ओर चलने में मदद करेगा | इसलिए, गपशप में time बरबाद नहीं करके, वृथा काम में time बरबाद नहीं करके, जब मौका मिल गया---दो मिनट, पाँच मिनट, कीर्त्तन करो | क्योंकि कीर्त्तन केवल साधना में मदद करेगा, सो नहीं | तुम्हारे मन को भी निर्मल करेगा | और, तुम हमेशा महसूस करते रहोगे, कि तुम छोटे आदमी नहीं हो, तुम हीन-नीच नहीं हो, तुम तुच्छ नहीं हो | कीर्त्तन हमेशा तुम्हें याद दिलाता रहेगा कि तुम परमपुरुष की सन्तान हो, परमपुरुष के बेटे हो, परमपुरुष की बेटियाँ हो | इसलिए, स्थान-काल-पात्र का
कोई विचार नहीं; विद्या-अविद्या का कोई विचार नहीं; विद्वान-मूर्ख का कोई विचार नहीं; काले-गोरे का भी कोई विचार नहीं | जब जहाँ मौका मिल गया, जब जिस समय में मौका मिल गया, कीर्त्तन करो | (1)

The only way for the survival of human civlization - Ananda Vanii #51

“With the progress of science, the globe has become smaller to the human eye. No place on the earth is now inaccessible, and this is why it is the most opportune moment for building a universal human society. Set yourselves to task without any further delay. Remember, a human society based on ideology must be built with the help of all the moralists and progressive people of the universe. This is the only way for the survival of human civilization. The task will inevitably be fraught with obstacles, and by combatting them you will have to be victorious.”

Note: The above is one of Baba’s original Ananda Vaniis. These original and true Ananda Vaniis are unique, eternal guidelines that stand as complete discourses in and of themselves. They are unlike Fake Ananda Vaniis which are fabricated by most of the groups - H, B etc.

Boomerang on the sinners themselves

“The matter does not end here. The wickedness, the deceit, that pollutes human society first moves along a crooked path like its masters, and finally ends up by annihilating its masters themselves. The wicked persons at the helm of affairs, who are now out to liquidate others, will one day themselves be liquidated and erased from history by their own followers. Sinful persons, by following the crooked path, contaminate the atmosphere of the universe, but ultimately that sinful conduct, in a similar crooked way, will recoil like a boomerang on the sinners themselves. Those who deprive others of justice, who stifle others’ voices and try to immortalize themselves by their own loud proclamations, are themselves usually deprived of justice in the end. And their loud cries which had risen to the skies, are smothered in the underworld. Shiva the Omniscient was aware of these hard realities. So He warned the devoted and dharmic people, Pápasya kut́iilá gatih [“The ways of sin are always crooked”].” (1)

Prout: common people should impeach in a court of justice

"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." (1)

Dada’s trick for money + 4 more

Baba

Dada’s trick for money

Note: This letter is only for those who have reverence for Sadguru Baba and try to learn and follow His Ananda Marga ideology.

Namaskar,

Many things were going wrong in the life of my margii friend Ram. He conveyed that he felt unsure about himself and how things would unfold in the future. When Dada Nirmoha'nanda came to town with his magic rings and stones - i.e. sphatik (white stone), and other items - then my margii friend (Ram) became quite interested. After all, Dadaji was telling that these rings and stones save one from all kinds of problems and will fulfill all your desires etc. 


Unfortunate predicament of my margii friend

Dada falsely told that such charms are very powerful. Plus Dadaji concocted the tale that the rings he was selling were very special because he sits in the cemetery all night long doing sadhana with them to infuse spiritual energy in those stones and rings etc. But this is just his fabricated tale because Dadaji never does all-night cemetery sadhana. And even if in the future he does bring them to the cemetery, those inert rings and stones can never be infused with spiritual power etc. So the whole thing is a farce.

But, hearing about all this from Dadaji, my margii friend Ram became quite intrigued, as well as a bit skeptical. To get confirmation he spoke with some other senior margiis and wts. They started laughing and told him how Dada N's trade / business is false.


False promise

Unfortunately some Dadas are moving around selling "special” malas and stones that "cure your ills" and "improve your fate". That is what they are saying. For instance they proclaim that rudraksha beads (rosary) will save you from memory loss and prevent the onset of heinous diseases and devastating syndromes like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia, heart disease, high blood pressure, and "you name it". It does it all. Likewise, sphatik (white stone) will alleviate the vast array of skin diseases and other ailments.

Dadaji also proclaims that using these rudraksha beads will help one get rid of their bad samskaras. This is the sort of pitch that Nirmoha'nanda and a few others are employing. But here it has to be admitted that Nirmoha'nandji has the biggest clientel and is the most aggressive in this business. More about his tactics are described below. By listening to Dada N, many naive people get lulled in and purchase these "holy" charms and beads.

After all, certain countries stand as fertile land for these types of deceptive activities. There are so many cheats moving around doing this same type of business. We just do not expect to find them in the avadhuta dress in Ananda Marga. That is the shocking aspect of this story.


Baba's stand: on fate, astrology, palmistry

First and foremost, Baba does not give an ounce of value to things like fate, astrology, and palmistry. Ananda Marga does not give credence to such approaches. As sadhakas of Ananda Marga, we are to surrender to Parama Purusa and Him alone. Baba does not want us to be enthralled with, nor entrapped by, any type of fortune-telling technique that promises this or that about fate.

Ananda Marga ideology states, "Simply surrendering to fate would be sheer foolishness." (1)

No one should think that any type of mala, astrological reading, fortune-telling or palmistry can improve or affect their plight. Such things have no value for sadhakas. Baba guides us in a very rational and logical manner that whatever samsakra (reactive momenta) we create, right or wrong, one has to face those consequences. No worldly process like the use of rudraksha beads and stones can change or alter this. One cannot escape from their bad samskaras / sinful deeds by this way etc.

Ananda Marga ideology states, "So-called astrologers say that because you were born when the moon and such-and-such star or planet were within the jurisdiction of such-and-such zodiac [sign,] you took birth in this way. No. Because you committed this type of action, you were born within such-and-such structure or such-and-such zodiac [sign]. It is because of [your] actions that you were born on the earth and should suffer like this; not because of the [influences of] the stars. Do you follow? These actions brought you within the structural limits of such-and-such zodiac [sign] and such-and-such planets. So the stars do not [control] you." (2)

In His above guideline, Baba firmly directs us that we are not to think that we are puppets of fate. Rather, our own actions govern our present and future condition, not the position of the stars. For this reason, Baba tells us not to put any stock in the "dates and stars" or any other type of fortune-telling technique.

Ananda Marga ideology states, "You shall not take into account the dates and stars while setting out on a journey. You may, as necessary, set out for your destination after ascribing Brahma-hood to your journey through guru mantra. If you are to consult the dates and stars at every step, you are to carry an almanac with you all the time – something which is truly contrary to nature." (3)


Dogma: surrendering to stones or palmistry

There is no scope in our Ananda Marga for falling prey to fate. No one should subscribe to this and certainly no Wt should become a living, breathing advocate of the fortune-telling crafts like astrology and "mala-dealing".

>From age to age, Mahasambhuti comes on this earth to guide the entire human society. In the history of human civilisation, first Lord Shiva came and gave the teachings and illumined the path to divinity. Yet, gradually, step by step, His followers distorted and ruined all His teaching. 3500 years later human society witnessed a similar episode with Lord Krsna. Mahasambhuti Krsna came to guide the humanity but in due course His dharmic teachings were turned into dogma by His followers. Unfortunately, that same tragedy is unfolding in this present era as well with regard to the divine teachings given by Mahasambhuti Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji.

Sadguru Baba has graciously formed Ananda Marga to eradicate religious exploitation but after 1990 we see the deplorable state of affairs. Our duty as sadhakas is to remain alert and not allow any kinds of dogma to overpower Ananda Marga. Otherwise the existence of Ananda Marga will just be a namesake only. So every disciple of Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji should always be vigilant.

Namaskar,
In Him,
D. Ananda

A few examples how Dada Nirmohanandji preaches

- the glory of those precious stones, avidya tantra mantra, etc.

Then Dadaji eloquently espouses all the “virtues” of his stones to empty the pockets of his clients during their time of distress and difficulty. Most often Dada N does this when he is aware that a particular person / sadhaka is in the midst of a terrible crisis such as a failing marriage or life-threatening disease. 

The first benefit of the Red Coral/ Moonga Gemstone is victory over enemies and adversaries. Since Mars is the god of warfare it gives the necessary courage to overcome obstacles and enemies and ensures victory for the individual.

- The Red Coral benefits in overcoming procrastination and laziness and gives the impetus and the individual to take tasks to their logical conclusion. It helps in overcoming delay.

- Another powerful benefit of the Red Coral is its impact on the mental health. Since it is a robust gemstone it helps in overcoming symptoms of listlessness and mental depression. It gives energy, vigour and hope. The red coral also imparts courage and helps in overcoming fear and nervousness. It is a great gemstone for boosting self esteem.

- One of the best benefits of the red coral is its miraculous effects of healing. It helps in eruptions of the face, boils, acne, skin ailments, it purifies the blood and guards and protects against cuts, wounds, bruises and injuries. (4)


How Dada Nirmohanandji preaches - 2

- Those who have an adverse position of Mars in the horoscope leading to temperamental issues, anger problems, and lack of patience find a suitable improvement in these conditions after wearing the Red Coral Gemstones.

- Those who have Manglik dosha in their horoscope leading to challenges in interpersonal relationships should wear a Red Coral after a thorough Astrological analysis of their birth chart. If suitable one can expect many benefits from the Red Coral especially in the relationship sector.

- Individuals in professions such as army, armed forces, police, doctors especially surgeons, chemicals, weapon  manufacture or business, scientists, realty business find the Red Coral to be especially effective and beneficial.

- The Red Coral provides strong protection against evil eye, hexing and black magic.

- Those people who are in considerable debt should wear a Red Coral after analysis of position of Mars in their birth chart. Mars and its energies help in debt repayment.

- The Red Coral represents Mangalya Balam, Strength of Marriage and long life of the spouse. It protects women from widowhood and should be worn after proper astrological analysis. (4)

Top benefits of wearing an emerald gemstone - 3

- Wearing an emerald, also known as panna or zammrud brings in intellectual progress. Natural intelligence and intellect is the domain of Planet Mercury and enhancing this planets power brings in better understanding of life, a balanced perspective and better ability to grasp deeper subjects too.

- The individual wearing and emerald can visibly see a spurt in creativity, artistic talents, linguistic skills and ability to ideate / innovate better.

- Wearing an emerald can give a huge edge in relation to the communication skills. There is a remarkably better, clearer and lucid style of communication and the individual is able to express oneself with aplomb and confidence.

- Even in medical astrology, there are elaborated several benefits of wearing an emerald gem. It is a gemstone that can help with speech difficulties, respiratory troubles, allergies and nervous disorders. (4)


How Dada Nirmohanandji preaches - 4

- Natural and treatment free emerald is a great therapeutic gemstone for individuals facing trouble with ability to concentrate or focus. High entropy, restless people are able to bring in a relatively large amount of stability and focus by wearing an emerald.
- An individual who wears an emerald for a well placed Mercury, can beget great fame and fortune. As the name suggests, there can be a mercurial rise in life.
- Emerald is a stone that is capable of taking away emotional toxicity. Individuals who have a hard time coming to terms with difficult situations where they have been betrayed, cheated or defrauded, should try working with an emerald gemstone to heal the scars. It help in shedding of illusory ideas.
- Emerald is a gemstone believed to have antidote powers against poison. Royalty of yore is known to have sipped their aperitifs from emerald goblets.
- Natural Emerald is a great gemstone for individuals who stammer, or feel shy to interact with others or feel held back due to lack of confidence.
- Individuals like psychics, healers, astrologers or practitioners of any divine arts can find tremendous progress in their line of work by wearing and emerald. (4)

Pl. Help save these 2 Dadas from incurring more negative samskaras

Here is should be noted that Dada N is not the only Wt indulged in this adharmic work. Dada Omnkareshvaranandji has also entered this realm of business with stone, beads, and palmistry etc. He is not as forceful and does not have the client base that Dada N has, but one day Omnkareshvaranandji hopes to grow his account.

The purpose of this letter is not to defame either Dada Nirmohanandji or Omnkareshvaranandji but rather to save them from doing this type of sinful work. We all know that every action begets a reaction. unfortunately these dadas will have to suffer the reaction of this negative work. Our job is to help them. So when you come across either of them then politely tell them that his dealings are contrary to Guru’s teaching.

Ananda Marga was created to root out religious exploitation

Most unfortunate is that some get duped and placed their faith in these dogmatic rituals. This is a pervasive dogma across every country, state, and most towns. That said, it is more common in so-called third world regions such as throughout Africa, Haiti, and amongst native populations. So many suffer from these superstitions, dogmas, and fortune-telling dealings. Our Ananda Marga was created to dissolve and root out these rituals, but unfortunately some Wts are turning our Ananda Marga into a breeding ground of these very dogmas.

As Ananda Margiis we are only to surrender unto Parama Purusa Baba; we are to pay no mind to any type of astrological chart or fortune-telling. Baba alone is our Pole-Star.

Ananda Marga ideology states, "He is your nearest and dearest one. You may depend on Him completely, and your dependence on Him is called sharańágati. This sharańágati is the only reply to all spiritual questions." (5)

== Section 2: Prabhat Samgiita ==

People are captivated by Your liila, and they have no clue

“Bhálobáso shudhui mukhe, d́eke d́eke mari tabu ásoná, bojhoná tumi ámár duhkhe...” (Prabhat Samgiita #357)

Purport:

O’ Parama Purusa, You only love me with Your words, not in the real sense. You say You have prema for me, but I do not see this by Your action. I call You over and over again, yet You do not come. There is nothing You do that makes me feel like You have deep affection for me. You remain far. So then how can I think that You care for me. You do not understand the pain of my yearning.

O’ Parama Purusa, with the help of Your science of sadhana and philosophy, I go on searching You in the depths of my ‘I feeling’. But, how can I get You when You just make my mind restless. In that condition, my mental plate becomes opaque. I cannot see You anywhere within. O’ Lord, in the murky waters of my mind, You gleefully hide. This is Your liila. You are there in my mind but I can’t see You.

Baba, O’ my Nearmost, This vast creation  is very attractive & colorful. You have decorated this and arranged a festival of colour and form across this entire universe. You are engaged in displaying a myriad of divine liilas. People are captivated by Your liila, and they have no clue about Liilamaya. They do not know You. Yet, behind the curtain of Your liila, You smile softly, watching everything and everyone. O’ Supreme One, who can see You without Your grace? O’ Parama Purusa Baba, please shower me with Your causeless mercy, so I can see You everywhere and get You from behind the curtain of Your liila.

Baba, please satisfy my longing and bathe me in Your prema...

PS Addendum: When a bhakta has deep prema for Parama Purusa then they want Him in that most intimate and loving way. So when Parama Purusa does not respond or reciprocate in that intimate manner and does not come very close, then the bhakta lovingly accuses Parama Purusa that, "You do not love me the way I love You. Otherwise You would be coming close." This highly devotional scene results only when one has deep longing and desire to have Him close. It is similar to how a small child calls for his mother while she is busy. And then when finally the mother returns home, the young child with tear-filled eyes will accuse her by saying, 'Mother, you have no love for me; you do not love me at all; otherwise why were you gone so long'. This is the way the child will accuse its mother due to the child’s deep love for their mother. In this below Prabhat Samgiita, the bhakta is making the same type of accusation of prema towards Parama Purusa.

== Section 3: Important Teaching ==

One will have to take shelter in Him - 2

Ananda Marga ideology says, A  jiṋánii often becomes fatigued with the continuous cultivation of knowledge. Sometimes, after prolonged thinking, the brain simply refuses to function any more and it becomes increasingly difficult to implement one’s internal thoughts and ideas. What happens at that time? Knowledge concedes defeat and the ego has no choice but to surrender. Finally, one is compelled to plead, “Oh Parama Puruśa, please help me, please save my prestige.”" (1)

Note: In the life of a sadhaka on the spiritual journey, the first and foremost ingredient is surrender. Yet surrender itself is defined and described in a multitude of ways. In the above quote, surrender is explained in a very simple manner.

Re: My story

Namaskar,
Avt. Dada,

Refreshing to have a Dada admit a wrong-doing and change in behavior. I wish more acaryas were like you. Acaryas may become gods. But right now they are human like the rest of us. I only have more respect for acaryas who speak so honestly.

Baba's Grace,
Bhaskar
