Dada S: playing the role of villain

Namaskar,
Here following is a quote from Dada S’s book that is cited in the Prajina Bharati magazine.

Specifically, Dada S writes that Guru is just like the parents who care for their child in all realms of progress: physical, psychic, spiritual etc. Such is the claim and comparison that Dada S is making a between parents & Sadguru Taraka Brahma.

The above scan is from Prajina Bharati, Vol. 38, No. 6, Consecutive Number 248, Guru Tattvam page 30, Nov / Dec 2014.

For those who know Hindi it is obvious that Dada S committing a big blunder by spreading false things about Guru. For non-Hindi readers, kindly refer to the English translation highlighted in yellow - above and below.

Sadguru is Brahma and beyond all comparisons

According to Ananda Marga philosophy, we know that Brahma is the Guru and that Sadguru is Brahma. And that He comes as Mahakaola / Taraka Brahma. And Taraka Brahma can only be compared with Himself - not any other entity.

In numerous teachings, Ananda Marga philosophy states that Parama Purusa is beyond all comparisons. Think of it this way. A human being cannot be compared with a bug or reptile. A human can only be compared with other humans. Similarly, Parama Purusa can only be compared with Parama Purusa, but since there is only one Parama Purusa He is beyond all comparisons. For more about this see note 1 below.

But Dada S writes that Guru is just like the parents who care for their child in all realms of progress: physical, psychic, spiritual etc. So Dada S’s way of comparing Sadguru with parents is completely wrong and baseless - it is contrary to the guideline of Ananda Marga ideology.

Please read the below guideline from Baba about the criteria of Sadguru and see how many parents are really like this. You will not find any.

Only a Mahákaola has the requisite qualification to be a guru,

others cannot be gurus

   Ananda Marga ideology states, “In the spiritual world, he alone can be a guru who can lift downtrodden humanity to a high spiritual level, who can illumine humanity with spiritual effulgence. That is, only a Mahákaola has the requisite qualification to be a guru, others cannot be gurus.”
   “In order to be an ideal guru in the spiritual sphere, one must be throughly conversant with the minutest details of sádhaná, every aspect of sádhaná, important or unimportant. The guru must not only learn those things, but must also possess the capacity to teach those practices to others. Otherwise he should not be treated as a guru. The Mahákaola alone has this capacity, no one else. Kaolas are those who by dint of sádhaná have successfully elevated their microcosmic stance and established it in the Macrocosmic one; but a Mahákaola is one who is a kaola, certainly, but at the same time possesses the capacity to help others as well to get to that exalted kaola position. In the past Lord Shiva was one such Mahákaola. Lord Krśńa was another. To be a guru one must be a Mahákaola” (1)

“The guru must be aware of the nature of the human mind – what it is made of, how it should be elevated step by step from crude to subtle, how all the unit minds can march together in unison towards the goal – in a word, he must know both the theoretical and the applied sides of psychology. He must know a thousand times more than is written in books. He must assimilate everything through his own refined intellect. And then only can he teach others perfectly. That shows that he must be not only a spiritual guru, but also a guru in the psychic world. There is a sense of want in the human mind. One who can remove the sense of want is a guru. In order to qualify as a guru, one must have the power to remove psychic wants.”  (2)
  

To be Guru, one must come onto this earth

with the highest qualifications in the spiritual field

“So in order to be a guru, one must come onto this earth with the highest qualifications in the spiritual field, and with the greatest capacity to face the mountainous obstacles in the physical world. To shoulder the responsibility of a guru is not child’s play.”  (3)

So see how Dada Samanvayananda is creating confusion by giving a wrong and faulty idea. Although Dada S has passed away but still he is creating problems.

In Him,
Liilananda


Note 1: Parama Purusa is Incomparable

Ei jyoysná nishiithe cánderi máyáte, tomáre ceyechi anupama... (PS 2082)

O Anumapa, O Incomparable One, O’ Parama Purusa, O’ Sadguru,
With the shining beauty of the moon, I long for You, O’ Anupama

In Ananda Marga philosophy and in the above Prabhat Samgiita #2082, Parama Purusa is addressed as the Incomparable One. Parama Purusa has infiniite attributions and in His role as Anupama, He is that Divine Entity that is beyond all comparisons.


Note 2: About this magazine

Our Ananda Marga magazine - Prajina Bharati - must be held to the highest standards as it is the publication of our Wt boards: Purodha board, avadhuta board, acarya board, and tattvika board. Every aspect of this publication must be completely consistent with Ananda Marga ideology.

That is why it is especially disappointing and painful to see the Prajina Bharati magazine be degraded in this way.


Note 3: Who is responsible

Here are the two Dada most responsible for printing the misleading writings of Ac Samanavayananda Avt. It is a gross error for the below Dadas to highlight Dada S’s wrongful writings etc.

Note 4: Email them

Here is where you can email Dada Rakeshananda ji and Dada Amaleshananda ji and alert them about the situation.

Story harassing even after death

Before explaining further about the gross errors Dada S has made, one story comes in my mind. All know that there are many good people in Bikaner (Rajasthan, India) but also one very notorious person was born there as well. And this is the story of that wicked man.

This man passed his whole life harassing and torturing innocent villagers in his locale. He taunted and abused them in all kinds of ways, like false court cases etc. This went on for decades. When he was nearing the end of his life, it struck him that when he dies he will no longer be able to harass those villagers. So he devised one special way whereby he would be able to harass those villagers even after his death.

Here is what he did - this is the plan he came up with.

When that wicked man became terminally ill with cancer and was essentially on his deathbed, he hatched one nasty plan to entangle and harass those innocent villagers for the days and years to come. First that man went door to door throughout the village and feigned repentance for his many misdeeds. He talked to each family individually. He pledged to those them that, “I am a sinner and I harassed you for years and years, and now I am going to die from cancer. I beg you to help me and forgive me for my sins.”

Seeing the plight of that man and hearing his plea, one by one, each family forgave him.

Then the man told, ”There is one more thing I request of you. Your granting forgiveness is not enough. My soul will not be satisfied unless you hang my corpse from a tree and beat it mercilessly with on stick etc.”

Hearing this the they looked quite concerned; the various families each replied that they could not commit such an act.

The wicked man added, “Please, I beg of you. This is the only way I can reach to heaven.”

Hearing this, the various families thought further, and one by one each agreed to satisfy the man’s wishes. On their own they promised to keep this entire ordeal secret. The man thanked them countless times as he took leave of their company.

Immediately, that wicked man scurried to the police department and offered them a large bribe. He said that, “These villagers are my enemies and they have a plan to assault me even after my death. To take revenge on me, they are going to ransack my corpse. Specifically, they are going to hang my dead body from a tree and whip it with sticks.”

The man requested, “As policemen, it is your duty to uphold the dignity of my being and not let my corpse be beaten and destroyed in this manner.” The officers agreed.

Thereafter, the man approach his wife and told her, “After I die, then your first duty is to inform the policemen of my death.” Soon afterwards, that wicked man breathed his last on this earth and news spread of his passing.

Per their promise, those villagers tied and hung the man’s corpse from a tree and began whipping that corpse to ensure that man went to heaven.

When the policemen came upon this scene, then they immediately arrested all those villagers and put them in jail. By this way, that wicked man was able to harass and torture those innocent villagers even after his death.


Now the ghost of Dada S is harassing us

Similarly, now the ghost of Dada S is harassing us. During his lifetime Dada S propagated so many wrong things in the name of Guru and now after his passing still he is doing like this. If anyone thinks this is too harsh a characterization of Dada S, then it seems you have forgotten how Dada S betrayed Guru during the time when Baba was in jail. Those days the situation was very tense and grave. Nobody knew what was going to happen. And in that darkest hour, Dada Samanvayananda jii left Guru and openly challenged Ananda Marga by creating his own new organisation, Prema Marga.


Only stooges get the higher posts these days

Dada Samanvayananda jii is the Dada S who twisted AM teachings in the wrong way. Dada Samanvayananda jii did this years and years ago. And now, two so-called purodhas - who are not aware about Ananda Marga philosophy - have published Dada Samanvayananda jii’s bogus sutra in a recent edition of Prajina Bharati. So these two purodhas editors - Dada Rakeshananda (editor) & Dada Amaleshananda (sub-editor) - have no idea what they are doing. Otherwise they would never have placed Dada S’s garbage in the esteemed magazine, Prajina Bharati. This is the unfortunate affair.

As you may know, Dada Samanvayananda jii died long back, but we see how his ghost is still affecting and harassing Ananda Margiis. In that sense he is just like the wicked man from the above story.

Sadly, this chapter will not end soon because we have unqualified purodhas running this Ananda Marga magazine. They will not learn from their mistake and will undoubtedly create more blunders soon. Reason being they are stooges not purodhas. The way things are going now in the organisation, we will not have real purodhas anytime soon. Only stooges and idiots get the post, not others.


Here is that page from the magazine

Please pay attention to the below scan is of Dada Samanvayananda's writint. The problem is that he created a faulty sutra and then tried to cover it up with his below Hindi purport. This was printed in Prajina Bharati, Vol. 38, No. 6, Consecutive Number 248, Guru Tattvam page 30,Nov / Dec 2014.

So the above is Dada S’s bogus sutra where he made a blunder.

This was printed in Prajina Bharati, Vol. 38, No. 6, Consecutive Number 248, Guru Tattvam page 30,Nov / Dec 2014


They do more harm than good to the society

Here below Baba guides us that the scriptures should always be interpreted by competent people otherwise their explanation will be a mess.

   "Without proper interpretation, the shástras remain difficult to understand and sometimes unintelligible. Thus the scriptures should always be interpreted by qualified scholars, competent philosophers, and penetrating thinkers. If one tries to interpret a profound scripture with superficial knowledge, the interpreter appears ridiculous and the audience is confused."
   "There are some people who are neither scholars, nor philosophers, nor penetrating thinkers, but merely wander about interpreting scriptures as a means of livelihood. They utterly fail to present the proper matter in the correct perspective before the audience. Such people may be successful in earning a living in the name of shástra vyákhyána, but they do more harm than good to the society. There are still others who interpret the scriptures just to exhibit their intellect – to procure for themselves a certificate of erudition. They too remain far from the living spirit of the scriptures." (10)

Sadly, that is exactly what happened Dada Samanvayananda jii. In hopes of boosting his own image and earning some money by selling his book, Dada S tried to explain Guru’s scriptures. And in the end, he just created a mess. For all the details, please re-read above letter and you will see how Dada Samanvayananda jii completely missed the point.


Send to Those Dadas

We kindly request you to forward this letter to the two “great dadas” who run Prajina Bharati, as they should know what is going on. For your ease and convenience, their email addresses are listed below.

== Section 2 ==

O’ Parama Purusa, for the welfare of all - to liberate all, 

You have taken advent on this earth

Prabhat Samgiita 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 devotion 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. Strong devotion is needed and when that is present then the feelings expressed in this song are very natural.

In contrast, if that mind-set is not there - if one is not experiencing high sadhana - 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 the one ages though that degree of love steadily declines such that older children will 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 devotion for the Parama Purusa Baba is needed.

This type of devotion is not just some theoretical notion. In Ananda Marga there are many sadhakas who have this feeling in their practical life - even today. They are fortunate; their life has become successful. Because this type of ardent love towards Parama Purusa is devotion. And when one has devotion one has everything. There is nothing left to gain. With devotion surely one is going to attain Parama Purusa, by His grace. It just depends upon the degree of one’s sincerity.

What to speak of a sadhaka, if an ordinary, or even a degraded person, does sadhana sincerely, and from the deep core of their heart they request, “O’ Parama Purusa, I want nothing else, please grace me with the highest devotion”, then the afore-described deep devotional love will quickly develop, by His grace.

The following Prabhat Samgiita composition carries this idea.

“Nútan prabháte tumi ele, ele aruń álote kare snán…” (PS #353)

Purport: 

nútan prabháte tumi ele ele, aruń álote kare snán,
dharáke taráte tumi ele ele, bhúle giye sab abhimán,

O’ Parama Purusa Baba, You have taken advent in the new dawn, bathed in crimson effulgence. It is Your causeless grace. You have taken advent - foregoing the prestige of remaining as Nirguna Brahma - in order to liberate the world. You have come as Mahasambhuti and You are living as an ordinary person. The world does not give You any respect or honour. But You do not mind - that is not Your concern. You have taken advent on this earth to  liberate all.

hridayer hár keno eta kál chile bhúle, bhúle,bolo ámáre tumi, bolo ámáre,
nayaner mańi kabhu thákite ki páre dúre, se je náhi páre se je náhi páre,
durdama bádháder durmada sádhá sure, holo avasán áji holo avasán,

O' the garland of my heart, my most dear, my most intimate One, how could You remain forgetful of me for so long. How could You ignore my cry? Tell me, please tell me. You are jewel of my eye - "the apple of my eye." Can that jewel ever remain far away from me? No, He can’t, no He can’t. Now that You have come,= my era of longing and pain is over. The insurmountable obstacles have vanished. Those melancholic tunes which I used to sing in the past are not needed any more. O’ Parama Purusa, You are here before me, it is so blissful. You are so gracious.

ákásh kusum áj ákásher phúl nay, dharái ratan se je dharái ratan,
mánas kusum shudhu man májhe náhi bháse, háse anukśań se je háse anukśań,
ásiácho nije theke sakal ke mane rekhe, sakal ke dekhite samán,

The flower of the distant sky is no longer a blossom in that far away abode in the sky. Now He has come as a jewel on this earth. He is my most adorable Baba. He is the gem of this world. He is the most meaningful One. The blossom of the mind not only floats in the mind, but He has come in human form before our very eyes.  He smiles, He smiles always. You can touch and love him.

O’ Parama Purusa, by Your own wish, thinking of the welfare of all, and loving all equally, You have taken advent on this earth. It is Your causeless grace...

Re: PP Dada’s action is uncivilized?

Baba

Re: PP Dada’s action is uncivilized?

Namaskar,
One sincere and concerned reader has complained that this below photo has been fabricated and that someone took it from a different angle in order to malign respected PP Dada’s status.

The fact of the matter is that Dada Rudrananda iii ordered his purodha stooges to take the above photo and propagate it publicly on the AMPS Central website etc. Why did they do so? The intention was to jack up PP Dada’s image. And still this above photo is sitting on the AMPS Central website. Anybody can go and see it - this is the plain truth. See the link appended below in note 1.

There should not be any phobia or paranoia that this type of photo was the work of some outside enemy etc. This is the work of Dada Rudrananda and his purodha stooges.

Following is Complaint by Margii Brother

Here following is the series of letters written by one margii reader who objected to the way this photo was taken.

-----------------

(I) On 11 Nov 14, one respected margii reader wrote:

U people can judge everything from this photo taken from a weird angle. I hope u know fundamentals of physics. I have all the photos of tatanagar DMS. Don't misguide margiis.


(II) Then on 23 Feb 2015, the margii brother again addressed this issue:

Namaskar
Earlier also, I had written about the same mistake made by you in interpreting, just by looking at the photo. In reply, I received a mail from you that we will get back to you but no one did.
I am not against constructive criticism but look at the photo. It is taken from below the stage area. Apply a little bit of physics and a lot of brain, you would get the answer. If still u want to criticize, do it on some worthy subject or case. I will applaud and stand with you on that.
Ask yourself, was it OK.


(III) Finally, on 03 Mar 2015, the margii reader again wrote:

namaskar
no one has reverted to the concerns raised in my earlier mail, except for your last confirmation mail.
kindly ask brother vijay to respond to the objection raised by me.
thanks


Note: That concludes the words by the margii brother.

-----------------

Now here again I, Vijay, am writing...

If your own grandfather started drinking liquor heavily

then you will be worried

Brother, your logic is not working here. Nobody has the negative agenda to rub PP Dada’s & Central Dadas’ noses in the mud. I have great admiration for central workers and PP Dada.

Just like if your own grandfather started drinking liquor heavily then you will be worried. In the same way, I am worried by seeing the condition of in-charge dadas and how they present Baba in public.

I have given the link appended below - see for yourself.

Was done by Dada Rudrananda’s stooges

Those in-charges themselves snapped the photo and put it up on their AMPS central website / social media. In that case AMPS central is to blame. They wanted to publicise this to the whole world: That Baba has passed away so his status is lower than that of PP Dada. That is why they have PP Dada sitting on a higher seat. Their action shows this - what further proof is needed. For your confirmation click on the link appended below to view the photo on their AMPS central site. This work of taking the photo and putting it on the website was not done by some third party like communists; rather this was done by Dada R’s stooges.

Mentality is pathetic and shameful

Stooges of Rudrananda jii (AMPS central) made the photo with the aim to present Baba’s status lower than PP’s status because Dada Rudrananda jii, with his ulterior motive, wants to show that Baba has passed away and now PP Dada is sitting on throne. So PP Dada is the authority of divine power so Rudrananda can rule from behind the scene.

They are just emulating what the various dogmatic Hindu priests and gurus do. Dada Rudrananda jii wants to convince whole world about the glory of the new leader: PP Dada. Those in Centre want to project PP Dada’s status as being higher than Baba’s status. So AMPS central is showing how they do not give respect to Guru Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji because He has passed away. This type of mentality is pathetic and shameful.

That was was explained in my letter of 23 Feb 2015 - titled “PP Dada’s action is uncivilised?” Please find this appended below.

Remember, all will see the concerned photo and form the wrong impression about Baba. And these in-charge Dadas of AMPS central are the ones showing the photo. It is their picture - go and see the link here below.

Kindly write in the same tone to Dada Rudrananda jii

Now the point have been proven that I - Vijay - did not take the photo and put it up on the AM Central website / Facebook page etc. This was done by central purodhas on Rudrananda jii’s order. So just as you wrote me and complained, kindly write in the same tone to Dada Rudrananda jii and challenge him why he did this. Furthermore request him to remove the photo from all AM Central websites, Facebook pages and other sectorial blogs. And I request you to carbon copy me on your letter to Dada Rudrananda jii.

Thank you again for writing.

at His lotus feet,
Vijay


Note 1: Link to see the photo on their Facebook page

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=138721839643093&set=a.104007839781160.5592.100005158325030&type=1&theater

Although it is highly unlikely, if by this link you do not get anything then please let us know; it means they have taken it down. As proof, I have taken a desktop images of their site and will send you that entire webpage.


Note 2: Not an isolated occurrence

Rudrananda jii’s  “yes-men” put many such photos on various websites and throughout central and sectorial newsletters and magazines. So this is not an isolated case. They have made so many photos to undermine Baba. This has been going on all over the web. Those who have eyes can see. Those who care about reverence to Baba have seen this - there is nothing hidden or new here.


Note 3: My earlier letter on this topic

Here below is my  letter which I wrote on  23 Feb 2015.

PP Dada’s action is uncivilised?

“We may call those human acts and behaviours “civilized” that give evidence of this discriminative judgement, in a great measure.” (1)

According to Baba’s above teaching, any action which is irrational and illogical - not supported by reasoning - is uncivilised. Please see the frame of the below photo. Notice how thee  frame of Baba’s photo on the white cot is approximately 1 foot below PP Dada’s blue cot. The question is whether PP Dada’s action of sitting 1 foot above Guru’s white cot is rational or not. Remember to look at the lower frame of Baba’s photo.

Disciple must have reverence for the guru

“Trtiiyaḿ gurupújanam. I must have reverence for the guru. What is the guru? Gu means “darkness”, that is, darkness in the psycho-spiritual sphere. And ru means “dispelling agent”. That is, he who dispels darkness from my psychic and spiritual body is the guru. Gu means “darkness”, ru means “dispeller”. “Trtiiyaḿ gurupújanam. That is, you must have respect for the guru.” (2)

Baba’s photo is placed on the cot with the white sheet. Now compare the level of the white cot with the height of PP Dada’s blue cot. The white cot is approx 1 foot lower than the blue cot. The conclusion is that the frame of Baba’s photo is lower than PP Dada’s feet.

Again, please pay attention to the bottom edge of the photo frame on the white cot as it is one foot lower than where PP Dada is seated.

​The above action of PP dada is not supported by logic and reasoning. A sense of rationality is not being used. And according to tantric code of discipline, a disciple should sit at the feet of Guru - not at head. Disciples always gives respect and reverence to his Guru. As a disciple of Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurtij, PP Dada should have done this.

If any follower does not do this then he is not a true disciple - just worthless. The situation is just like that of a coloured jackal.

That is why this particular action is uncivilised. Although he is the PP Dada of the H group, it does not matter - PP Dada’s action is uncivilised. In other avenues of life this PP Dada  may be civilised, but on this specific act he is not civilised. The above is just one example. The general rule is that if any behaviour is not supported by rationality then that given act is uncivilised.

The whole host of uncivilised things PP Dada does will be discussed in other letters.

in Him,
Vijay

~ O’ Parama Purusa, I did not know You are and were with me always since ages ~

“Tumi, je a’ma’r nayanyer ma’n’i, a’ge cinite pa’rini…” (Prabhat Samgiita #556)

Purport:

O’ Parama Purusa, You are the jewel of my eyes. You are my Dearmost and the most precious thing in my life. There is nothing I treasure more than You. Alas, how ironic it is that  I did not recognise You earlier in my life. You are the most important Entity to me, and I did not know about You - I did not know that You are You. You are my Beloved. You were within me. You were in my heart and mind - always. You were all-around me. You were with me in all my works - wherever I went. It is sad that I did not look at You - I did not know You were there with me always since ages.

O’ Divine Entity, there were thunderstorms with strong gusty winds all around. The storm was ferocious with the loud crashing of thunder and gale-force winds. Everything was swept away by torrential rains. The heavy rains washed away everything. There was chaos and danger all around. In my life, so many tragedies occurred; everyone left me. Unbeknownst to me, in spite of all the danger and difficulties, You remained with me always - helping, me, consoling me, and wiping away my tears. You did not walk away leaving me behind. You did not take even one step away from me. You stayed near me day and night; all the 24 hours, throughout my entire life. You were protecting me always; alas, I was not aware of that - I did not even realise that You remained by my  side. If I had known I would not have felt helpless, lonely, and scared.

O’ Parama Purusa, Baba, You apply the soothing balm on the wounds of those neglected and humiliated ones. You do not leave anyone all alone where they feel depressed and rejected - drowned in hopelessness. You give the healing touch to those suffering in ignominy and pain. You never hate anyone. You bestow a sense of dignity upon those who lost their dignity. Unfortunately, those days I could not realise You this eternal truth. It is only now that I understand, by Your grace

Baba, You are my most dear  - You were always with me - my entire life. But I could not recognise You those days. By Your grace, now I cannot forget this divine truth that You never leave me...

Baba

Mahaprayan (Death) of a senior family acarya didi

Namaskar,
It is with much sadness and respect that I share with you the mahaprayan (death) of Ac. Kishori Didi who died yesterday at 5am IST in Pune (Maharashtra, India). Respected Didiji was well-known by the nickname "Dafaliwali Didi". She received this nickname because she used to regularly sing devotional songs with her musical instrument "Dafali" during DMC, as well as on the occasion of  other Ananda Marga gatherings.

Her husband was Acarya Visvambhar ji - who underwent his mahaprayan (death) a few years ago. She and her husband were originally from Samastipur (Bihar, India).

Ac. Kishori Didi was a true devotee of the Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamutiji. And she had a tremendous impact on the growth and well-being of our Ananda Marga society over her many years active in AMPS. On this occasion of her mahaprayan, she will be missed by many.

May we all take solace in the fact that respected Ac. Kishori Didi was a devotee of Sadguru Baba. Certainly she will attain mukti or moksa, accordingly. Baba will lovingly bestow His grace and take her under His Supreme shelter.

With deepest regards.

Namaskar,
at His lotus feet,
Ma'la'​


Note 1: Mahaprayan (death day) is only for humans

Parama Purusa is eternal

Here it should be qualified that there is both real mahaprayan and fake mahaprayan. Real mahaprayan marks the death of any ordinary human being. This is the proper use of the term: To note a person's     departure from this earth. That is the meaning of the mahaprayan term and that is the standard way the term is used in Indian languages.

Then there is the fake, or so-called, or dogmatic mahaprayan. That is when certain vested interests try to apply the mahaprayan term to Parama Purusa Himself. This is grossly inappropriate because when Parama Purusa Baba is that Divine Entity who is beginningless and endless and resides always in our heart, then it is entirely wrong to proclaim that He is gone.

That is why rational margiis are protesting; because the Oct 21st program is so-called mahaprayan. So-called means that something is fake. Parama Purusa is eternal, thus for some vested interests to declare "mahaprayan of Parama Purusa" is nothing but so-called mahaprayan.

Mahaprayan only really happens in the case of human beings, not Parama Purusa.

Note 2: Mahaprayan comes from the Islamic tradition

* Mahaprayan (Death): Many are aware that mahaprayan (death) is the common term used in India and especially in Bengal to describe the death of any human being, even ordinary people. In that way, the obituary columns of the newspapers of Bengal regularly cite the mahaprayan (death) of various persons of society who died or passed away.

Some may get confused and wrongly think that the word 'mahaprayan' (death) is one extraordinarily devotional term to be used in association with Parama Purusa. But that is not at all the case. Rather to do so is only to undermine the eternal presence of Parama Purusa. That is why no devotees ever use the word 'mahaprayan' in reference to Lord Shiva or Lord Krsna. Because Lord Shiva and Lord Krsna exist eternally. Then there is no question of Their mahaprayan (death).

Baba is Parama Purusa so He is eternal and there is no question of His mahaprayan.

Here it should be known that the convention of an annual death day ceremony (i.e. shraddhainjali or mahaprayan) is a foundation of the Islamic tradition. Muslims are well known for this, and their approach of an annual death day ceremony was adopted by those in Tiljala. So no one should think that mahaprayan is some type of sacred event. It is done on the death day anniversary of Muslims.

And for those who need still more technical proof then all this can be clarified quite readily by referencing the dictionary. Specifically in the Samsad Bengali-English dictionary on page 742. Checking there it will be confirmed that the word 'mahaprayan' means death. Which is why it used to refer to the passing away of even common citizens.

Note 3: Story: - sitting on Baba's lap means died?

(contributed by one margii)

Recently after dharmacakra, a senior margii was recounting his experiences of having dharma samiiksa with Baba.

He said, "After being punished by Baba, then He called me close and placed me on His lap - I remained there for some time soaking up His love - and He blessed me."

We all enjoyed hearing about his personal account with Baba during dharma samiiksa. When he finished telling his story, there was a call for questions. Various people posed their queries.


"How did Baba bring you back to life?

Towards the end, one new margii raised his hand and asked, "How did Baba bring you back to life?"

Everyone stared at the new margii in amazement. There was a look of astonishment all around - people were really shocked to hear him say this.

The new sadhaka sensed that something was awry.

He said very matter-of-factly, "I thought that sitting on Baba's Lap means that he (the margii) died - that is why I asked that question."

This was quite eye-opening for those of us in the room: Through our language and expression we had unknowingly taught someone to think that being on Baba's lap is the equivalent of death. Because it seems that nowadays people only use the phrase "Baba's lap" when a person has died, such as "Let him rest peacefully in Baba's lap", as if in order to sit on Baba’s lap one has to die. But that is false. Sincere sadhakas regularly sit on Baba’s lap in their meditation. It is His grace. It is just like a child need not die in order to sit on hi father’s lap.


Sitting on Baba's lap

must not only refer to death

At that moment I thought that everyone, new and old, should be clear about the real and devotional meaning of this phrase, "being on Baba's lap." It should not become stigmatized such that it only means death. Because in its true sense, the phrase "being on Baba's lap" really does carry a highly devotional and sweet feeling.

It is just like how a small child sits on its parent's lap. In a similar way, a spiritual child (human being) sits on the lap of Parama Purusa. By Baba's grace this can happen anytime in one's sadhana, especially in dhyana. Such a phrase then should not become  stigmatized because too many people only use it at the time of death.

We should be careful that we do not relegate "Baba's lap" only to the point of death.

The connotation of death must not become synonymous with "being on Baba's lap." Because the phrase - "being on Baba's lap" - is a devotional experience that can happen today itself in sadhana, and especially in dhyana. The phrase "being on Baba's lap" should not lose this quality and only mean death. It should not meet the same dark fate as happened with the term harijan. Nowadays, for the occasion of death / mahaprayan, 99.9% of the time people use the phrase "on Baba's lap", and for devotional stories the phrase "on Baba's lap" is used 0.01% of the time. That is why - for devotional purposes - this phrase is already included on the endangered species list.

Must not meet same fate as "harijan"

As we all know, these days in India nobody uses the term harijan to mean "a devotee". Whereas 70 years ago it was used in that way. The term harijan did mean bhakta. But ever since the time of Gandhi when he glued the harijan term to the lowest so-called caste, i.e so-called untouchables, nobody uses the the harijan to mean devotee. Never. Because the term harijan has been stigmatized to mean "untouchable". Nobody uses it to mean "devotee", but that is the original and true meaning of the word.

The phrase, "sitting on Baba's lap", should not meet a similar fate. It should not lose its devotional quality and just refer to one's death. That will be very negative.

Baba would bless devotees and place them on His lap

There are thousands of recorded stories by sadhakas where they use the phrase, "on Baba's lap", when describing their experiences of being with Baba: He used to bless them and bring them on His lap.     People should understand the deeply devotional value of this expression, and not just think that Baba's lap means death, i.e. that you can only sit on His lap at the time of death. Still today there are thousands of margiis walking this earth who sat in Baba's lap. And not only that, there are countless more sadhakas who were blessed by Baba in dreams and dhyana wherein they sat in His lap. And still today this deeply devotional experience is attainable by sadhakas, by His grace.

There are so many ways an aspirant can reach unto Baba's lap including in sadhana and especially during dhyana. That is the main idea that should be preserved. Sadhana is a devotional practice and one can sit on Baba's lap in dhyana. We should make it cent-per-cent clear to one and all that the phrase, "sitting on Baba's lap", does not mean death.

Dogma:

now "on Baba's lap" only used for death

Here are quoted lines from recently posted emails on various forums, wherein the writer uses the phrase - "in Baba's lap" - with the occasion of death:

- "May he rest in HIS loving lap of eternity."

- "We are sure that Baba has taken him in His loving lap."

- "May his soul rest in Baba's lap forever."

- "Let her rest peacefully in Baba's Lap - which she always desired."

- "now he is in beloved Baba's lap"

- "May his soul get peaceful place in His lap"

- "He is now in BÁBÁ'S loving lap"

- "May Baba bless him with a seat in His lap."

- "May BABA accept him in HIS divine lap!"

- "May Baba take him in his eternal loving lap."

- "Please keep him on Your lap forever."

All of the above lines are commonly written in eulogizing the deceased. Of course, it is fine to write like that. Here the point is that this same phrase "in Baba's lap" should also be used when describing one's devotional practices and experiences. But these days mostly it is used in a eulogy and rarely used to recount one's devotional experiences - unfortunately. By this way, the phrase "in Baba's lap" is being misused and step by step the real meaning is being forgotten as now people more commonly use the phrase to eulogize those who have died, and much less so to express their devotional feeling. Unfortunately, the meaning and inner spirit of the phrase is getting lost.

Here again is the central idea:

The connotation of death must not become synonymous with "being on Baba's lap." Because the phrase - "being on Baba's lap" - is a devotional experience that can happen today itself in sadhana, and especially in dhyana. The phrase "being on Baba's lap" should not lose this quality and only mean death. It should not meet the same dark fate as happened with the term harijan. Nowadays, for the occasion of death / mahaprayan, 99.9% of the time people use the phrase "on Baba's lap", and for devotional stories the phrase "on Baba's lap" is used 0.01% of the time. That is why - for devotional purposes - this phrase is already included on the endangered species list. 

Ananda Marga is not your private fiefdom + 3 More

Baba

This email contains four sections:
1. Posting: Cry of sincere supporter: Ananda Marga is not your private fiefdom
2. Comment: Re: Why wts should or should not engage in marriage dealings

3. PS #1: I can no longer bear the misery of the Cimmerian darkness of dogma
4. Links

Cry of sincere supporter:

Ananda Marga is not your private fiefdom

Namaskar,
One very sincere margii from Vancouver, Canada, who is devoted to Baba, tried hard to save New York sectorial office. He tried a myriad of pathways and tactics but tragically always he banged up against one immovable wall.

Here is his tragic tale of what he recently encountered. See for yourself how many doors he knocked as he directly tried to communicate with: (a) AMPS office, (b) sectorial office, (c) SS Dada Vimalanandji, (d) corporate secretary & chosen stooge of Centre Dhurva (Clark Forden), (e) AMPS Central GS Dadaji, (f) Central Office Secretary Dadaji, and (g) VSS global secretary - among others.

Here is one important section of his letter:

Ananda Marga is not your private fiefdom

Margii Raghuram writes, ”The fact  that previously when I did manage to get a phone call answered by the  NY office secretary a week ago or more I was continuely refused the information as to who the new board members are or why the board was changed. Ananda Marga is not your private fiefdom to do what you please.

It is clear to me now why 95% of the margis in the USA have voted with their feet and left your administration (if you could call it  that, more like misadministration, or non-administration). When will your stranglehold on Ananda Marga Inc. and AMPS NY sector loosen? Perhaps when the bodies of Ananda Marga give up their last gasp of air you will be satisfied enough to release us from your death grip.”

Note 1: About the term fiefdom

In Hindi, fiefdom means zamindari.

And the English definition of fiefdom is: The estate or domain of a feudal lord; an organization or department over which one dominant person or group exercises control.

NAMASCAR DADA:

I get no answer when i phone the AMPS office, instead the call is forwarded to another phone  that has a full voice mail

I have not gotten an answer to my emails sent to sectorial office either.
  
SS does not answer his phone nor does SS dada Vimalananda respond to my Emails.

When I call the corporate secretary [Clarke Forden] I also get no answer

and there is no answer to my Emails from the corporate  secretary of Ananda Marga Inc.

To make things worse there is no answer to phone calls or Emails from global office secretary,central office secretary or central VSS global secretary. What on earth is going on?

~ I can no longer bear the misery of the Cimmerian darkness of dogma ~

“Bandhu he niye calo…” (PS #1)

Purport:

O’ Parama Purusa, my Bandhu [1], I cannot move forward with my own strength. Please take me along with You close to that flow of a’lor jharn’a’ ’[2] - that divine world - Brahma loka.

Baba, in my heart I can no longer bear the pain and misery of the Cimmerian darkness of dogma. Baba, please take me to the Divine world by breaking my deep slumber. With Your divine songs, remove all the inertia of mind so I can leave all sorts of dogma and move properly on the path of Ananda Marga, by Your grace...

Notes for Prabhat Samgiita #1:

[1] Bandhu: Here below are some of Guru’s teachings on the term bandhu.

[A] "'Bandhu' means 'those within the bondage of love'. That is when one can not tolerate the idea of separation it is called 'Bandhu'. Now you see in this world have you got any Bandhu? No. Even your friend, your best friend-- he also did not come at the same time as you and after leaving the cremation ground, there is permanent separation. He will be with you up to the cremation ground. After your cremation he won't be with you. So he is not Bandhu-- he is not friend for he can tolerate the idea of separation."  
   "So who is the real friend? Parama Purusa. When you are in this physical framework - in this quinquelemental framework, He is with you, with your body, with your mind and with your spirit. After death, He will be with your mind, with your soul. When the body will be lost, the body will become one with the earth but mind and spirit will remain, He will be with you. So He is the real friend, He is the real Bandhu. And there cannot be any mundane friend, mundane Bandhu." (1)

[B] “What is the meaning of “bandhu”? In Saḿskrta, the meaning of the word “bandhu” is “to bind”. Bandhu indicates that person or entity who cannot stand separation. Parama Puruśa or Saguńa Brahma is closely and intimately connected with this expressed world, or jagata. He is pervasively connected with every individual entity, be it a living being or a crude object. He is also linked through and through with the universe as a whole. In other words, He is indissolubly and inextricably involved (ota prota) with everything. Therefore, He is the only bandhu of this universe. The rest of your bandhus in the physical world are not your eternal friends. Though they are with you now, a day will soon come when they will go away; they will be separated from you. When you depart from this world, these friends will accompany or carry your dead body. But how far will they accompany you? They will accompany your body up to the cremation ground or the burning ghat. Having gone so far, at the most they will return to their own dwelling places. So they are not your real bandhu. There is a shloka in Saḿskrta:”

Atyágasahano bandhu sadaevánumatah suhrd;
Eka kryaḿ bhavenmitraḿ samapráńáh sakhásmrtah.

“He who loves [[so much that]] he can never sustain the grief of separation, is known as “bandhu”. In this sense, nobody can have any bandhu in this world. Only that Jagatabandhu – that Parama Puruśa – can be your bandhu. No one else is your bandhu. Only He is your real friend.” (2)

[C] “In this world anybody and everybody can tolerate separation from you. When a person dies, what feelings will his mother and father, his brothers and sisters show? They will cry aloud, but after two or three days, normalcy will return. They will resume their normal mundane duties. And after a few days more or a few months they will forget the person. In societies where a widow’s marriage is accepted by people, the widow will remarry. In India, in upper-class Hindu society, a widow’s marriage is not accepted, but in a major portion of the world, even in India in some cases, a widow’s marriage is accepted by others. So you cannot say that any of your relatives is your bandhu. Nobody is your bandhu, or friend, in this respect. According to Indian custom, parents having only one son may adopt another child, who is then called bandhu. But Jagat Bandhu is the only real Bandhu. Parama Puruśa is the only real bandhu. He loved you in the past; He will love you in the future. He alone is Bandhu. His name is Jagat Bandhu.” (3)


[2]  A'lor  jharn'a' dha'ra': In this song the phrase, A'lor  Jharn'a' dha'ra' literally means the stream flows created by the fountain of effulgence.  In the spiritual sphere we can say this refers to the apex stage of dhya'na or the spiritual world satya loka that is close to Parama Purus'a.


[3] Prabhat Samgiita presents the true devotional expressions of our Ananda Marga sadhana. That is the inherent charm of Prabhat Samgiita. Those songs purely reflect a bhakta's heart-felt feeling with Parama Purusa.

The first composition was:

"Bandhu he niye calo..."

Meaning: O’ Parama Purusa, my Bandhu, I cannot move forward with my own strength. Please take me along with You close to that fountain of effulgence - that divine world - Brahma loka.

As we know, the term Bandhu signifies a very close relation with Parama Purusa - where one cannot bear separation from Him. Those bhaktas who feel in their heart that Parama Purusa is their Bandhu, or intimate friend, are indeed blessed. They feel that, "Without my dear Bandhu I myself cannot exist." Such is the depth of the relation of Bandhu - one of the four main bhavas or ways of personally relating with the Lord.

This first song is the embodiment of pure devotional expression and uniquely shows how to relate and interact with the Lord Parama Purusa in a close and intimate manner, where one can express their inner thoughts and feelings to Him. In contrast, in so many of the religions God is a distant figure and one cannot communicate with that Entity.

Then in the second song - "E ga'n a'ma'r a'lor jharn'a' dha'ra' -  the devotee is saying that this is my song of effulgence. And the compositions go on and on.

Thus this first song was the start of something great - a Prabhat Samgiita collection of 5,018 songs that expresses the true devotional approach in Ananda Marga. So the holy creation of Prabhat Samgiita is from darkness to effulgence. Where the devotee says, O' Baba lead me on this very path.

About this grand topic - there is much to say.

News: land sale falsehood

of ​Dada ​Vimalananda​ SS NY

Namaskar,
Margiis loyal to Ranch group have alleged that ​the planning behind the sale of Ananda Marga Sectorial Office building at Corona was a one man decision. Dada Vimalananda is propagating the idea that this was otherwise and the decision was taken by a committee constituted by a collective decision of Sectorial Executive Committee(SEC) instead. Dadaji's justification is baseless.

The committee was formed by SEC, yes it is true, but for the purpose of coming up with solutions to pay the legal bills, and not necessarily for selling a property. Prior to putting the Corona property up for sale, this committee met only once without any conclusion, as it found there were no accounts available for legal expenses and it was not clear what were the total donations received and expensed for legal. Once the property was put up for sale and IK Dada discovered it by accident, a lot of pressure was mounted on Dada Vimalananda and the Central Office. As a result, a subcommittee of three persons on the Central level was constituted to inquire into the matters.

The Central subcommittee, therefore, asked the Sectorial committee mentioned above to come up with a decision on the matters of property sale. Hence, the committee met once again with a predefined (from Central) agendum. This committee was specifically asked to decide on the property sale. Furthermore, this committee was altered with an ulterior motive. A member was replaced by another pet man of Dada Vimalananda to form the majority in his favor. As conspired, 2 of the 3 persons in the committee resolved to sell the Corona property, while the other walked away upon realizing that the property sale is definitely going to take place.

Below are some questions:

1) Why was the committee, which was formed for the purpose of suggesting means to pay the legal bills, forced to take a blind decision?

2) Why was this committee altered by Dada Vimalananda just before it met next?

3) As per the rules, this committee was formed by SEC, and it was supposed to submit its recommendations to the same. Why then was the committee instructed by SS / Central to by-pass the SEC, which created it, and report to them directly?

4) This committee only comes up with recommendations, not decisions. How can Dada Vimalananda say that the property sale matters were decided by this committee?

5) A property sale is a matter in itself, and Baba's guidelines are very strict on this. All of them were ignored in the case of Corona property sale. SS could have asked this committee to meet on an urgent basis to decide on the property sale. Why then did SS never ask the SEC to meet on an emergency basis to decide on the recommendations made by the legal finance committee?

Please note that the SEC, which created the legal finance committee to come up with recommendations, was never given a chance to decide on it. Rather, the whole process was hijacked.

Lastly, this committee met in May 2014 while the property had already been put up for sale in March, two months earlier. After all Dada Vimalanada is the SS and has legal powers to decide and reject decisions from others.

Now you decide, who is the culprit here.

In Him,
Viniit
Victor Cruz

Note: This is an involved case, please watch for follow-up letters on this NYSO issue.

Tamasik Leafy Vegetable: Red Puiṋ Shak

"Static food: Food which is harmful for the mind and may or may not be good for the body is static. Onion, garlic, wine, stale and rotten food, meat of large animals such as cows and buffaloes, fish, eggs, etc., are static. Very often people eat food without knowing its intrinsic qualities. For example, the milk of a cow which has just given birth. Or white eggplant, khesárii pulse [horse gram], red puni [Basella rubra Linn.], or mustard leaves, all of which often grew out of rotten matter. In order to have a balanced mind and to progress spiritually, human beings will have to pay attention to the qualities of the food they eat. The idea that “I will just do my sádhaná and eat any food, proper or improper” will not do." (Ananda Marga Philosophy In A Nutshell: Food, Cells, Physical and Mental Development)

Baba guides us that the red, leafy puin shak (vegetable) is "bad for the mind" and hence tamasik. In the below photo both varieties are shown. The red is tamasika and the green is sentient.

Mahaprayan (Death) of one senior lady of Ananda Marga

Baba

Mahaprayan (Death) of one senior lady of Ananda Marga

Namaskar,
It is with much sadness and respect that I share with you the mahaprayan (death) of Smt. Bhagawatii Devii (very senior margii didi); she was the mother of Dr. K.K.Nirmal of Bettiah and the wife of Late Shree Vimal Rajasthanii Bihar, India. Smt. Bhagawatii Devii's mahaprayan occurred on 4th of February 2015 in the morning at about 5am in her house at Lal Bazar Bettiah. She was 92 years old.

Many, many margiis and other persons were present at her cremation which was performed done yesterday on 4th of Feb 2015.

Smt. Bhagawatii Devii was a true devotee of the Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamutiji.

She made her whole family into sadhakas. She was very strict in carrying out Guru's divine teachings, and she organised the revolutionary marriages of her four granddaughters and one grandson.

She was blessed to attend many DMC's and have Baba's darshan.
​
On this occasion of her mahaprayan, she will be missed by many.

May we all take solace in the fact that respected Smt. Bhagawatii Devii was a devotee of Sadguru Baba. Certainly she will attain mukti or moksa, accordingly. Baba will lovingly bestow His grace and take her under His Supreme shelter.

With deepest regards.

Namaskar,
at His lotus feet,
Ma'la'​


Note 1: Mahaprayan (death day) is only for humans

Parama Purusa is eternal

Here it should be qualified that there is both real mahaprayan and fake mahaprayan. Real mahaprayan marks the death of any ordinary human being. This is the proper use of the term: To note a person's departure from this earth. That is the meaning of the mahaprayan term and that is the standard way the term is used in Indian languages.

Then there is the fake, or so-called, or dogmatic mahaprayan. That is when certain vested interests try to apply the mahaprayan term to Parama Purusa Himself. This is grossly inappropriate because when Parama Purusa Baba is that Divine Entity who is beginningless and endless and resides always in our heart, then it is entirely wrong to proclaim that He is gone.

That is why rational margiis are protesting; because the Oct 21st program is so-called mahaprayan. So-called means that something is fake. Parama Purusa is eternal, thus for some vested interests to declare "mahaprayan of Parama Purusa" is nothing but so-called mahaprayan.

Mahaprayan only really happens in the case of human beings, not Parama Purusa.

Note 2: Mahaprayan comes from the Islamic tradition

* Mahaprayan (Death): Many are aware that mahaprayan (death) is the common term used in India and especially in Bengal to describe the death of any human being, even ordinary people. In that way, the obituary columns of the newspapers of Bengal regularly cite the mahaprayan (death) of various persons of society who died or passed away.

Some may get confused and wrongly think that the word 'mahaprayan' (death) is one extraordinarily devotional term to be used in association with Parama Purusa. But that is not at all the case. Rather to do so is only to undermine the eternal presence of Parama Purusa. That is why no devotees ever use the word 'mahaprayan' in reference to Lord Shiva or Lord Krsna. Because Lord Shiva and Lord Krsna exist eternally. Then there is no question of Their mahaprayan (death).

Baba is Parama Purusa so He is eternal and there is no question of His mahaprayan.

Here it should be known that the convention of an annual death day ceremony (i.e. shraddhainjali or mahaprayan) is a foundation of the Islamic tradition. Muslims are well known for this, and their approach of an annual death day ceremony was adopted by those in Tiljala. So no one should think that mahaprayan is some type of sacred event. It is done on the death day anniversary of Muslims.

And for those who need still more technical proof then all this can be clarified quite readily by referencing the dictionary. Specifically in the Samsad Bengali-English dictionary on page 742. Checking there it will be confirmed that the word 'mahaprayan' means death. Which is why it used to refer to the passing away of even common citizens.

Note 3: Story: - sitting on Baba's lap means died?

(contributed by one margii)

Recently after dharmacakra, a senior margii was recounting his experiences of having dharma samiiksa with Baba.

He said, "After being punished by Baba, then He called me close and placed me on His lap - I remained there for some time soaking up His love - and He blessed me."

We all enjoyed hearing about his personal account with Baba during dharma samiiksa. When he finished telling his story, there was a call for questions. Various people posed their queries.


"How did Baba bring you back to life?

Towards the end, one new margii raised his hand and asked, "How did Baba bring you back to life?"

Everyone stared at the new margii in amazement. There was a look of astonishment all around - people were really shocked to hear him say this.

The new sadhaka sensed that something was awry.

He said very matter-of-factly, "I thought that sitting on Baba's Lap means that he (the margii) died - that is why I asked that question."

This was quite eye-opening for those of us in the room: Through our language and expression we had unknowingly taught someone to think that being on Baba's lap is the equivalent of death. Because it seems that nowadays people only use the phrase "Baba's lap" when a person has died, such as "Let him rest peacefully in Baba's lap", as if in order to sit on Baba’s lap one has to die. But that is false. Sincere sadhakas regularly sit on Baba’s lap in their meditation. It is His grace. It is just like a child need not die in order to sit on hi father’s lap.


Sitting on Baba's lap

must not only refer to death

At that moment I thought that everyone, new and old, should be clear about the real and devotional meaning of this phrase, "being on Baba's lap." It should not become stigmatized such that it only means death. Because in its true sense, the phrase "being on Baba's lap" really does carry a highly devotional and sweet feeling.

It is just like how a small child sits on its parent's lap. In a similar way, a spiritual child (human being) sits on the lap of Parama Purusa. By Baba's grace this can happen anytime in one's sadhana, especially in dhyana. Such a phrase then should not become  stigmatized because too many people only use it at the time of death.

We should be careful that we do not relegate "Baba's lap" only to the point of death.

The connotation of death must not become synonymous with "being on Baba's lap." Because the phrase - "being on Baba's lap" - is a devotional experience that can happen today itself in sadhana, and especially in dhyana. The phrase "being on Baba's lap" should not lose this quality and only mean death. It should not meet the same dark fate as happened with the term harijan. Nowadays, for the occasion of death / mahaprayan, 99.9% of the time people use the phrase "on Baba's lap", and for devotional stories the phrase "on Baba's lap" is used 0.01% of the time. That is why - for devotional purposes - this phrase is already included on the endangered species list.

Must not meet same fate as "harijan"

As we all know, these days in India nobody uses the term harijan to mean "a devotee". Whereas 70 years ago it was used in that way. The term harijan did mean bhakta. But ever since the time of Gandhi when he glued the harijan term to the lowest so-called caste, i.e so-called untouchables, nobody uses the the harijan to mean devotee. Never. Because the term harijan has been stigmatized to mean "untouchable". Nobody uses it to mean "devotee", but that is the original and true meaning of the word.

The phrase, "sitting on Baba's lap", should not meet a similar fate. It should not lose its devotional quality and just refer to one's death. That will be very negative.

Baba would bless devotees and place them on His lap

There are thousands of recorded stories by sadhakas where they use the phrase, "on Baba's lap", when describing their experiences of being with Baba: He used to bless them and bring them on His lap. People should understand the deeply devotional value of this expression, and not just think that Baba's lap means death, i.e. that you can only sit on His lap at the time of death. Still today there are thousands of margiis walking this earth who sat in Baba's lap. And not only that, there are countless more sadhakas who were blessed by Baba in dreams and dhyana wherein they sat in His lap. And still today this deeply devotional experience is attainable by sadhakas, by His grace.

There are so many ways an aspirant can reach unto Baba's lap including in sadhana and especially during dhyana. That is the main idea that should be preserved. Sadhana is a devotional practice and one can sit on Baba's lap in dhyana. We should make it cent-per-cent clear to one and all that the phrase, "sitting on Baba's lap", does not mean death.

Dogma:

now "on Baba's lap" only used for death

Here are quoted lines from recently posted emails on various forums, wherein the writer uses the phrase - "in Baba's lap" - with the occasion of death:

- "May he rest in HIS loving lap of eternity."

- "We are sure that Baba has taken him in His loving lap."

- "May his soul rest in Baba's lap forever."

- "Let her rest peacefully in Baba's Lap - which she always desired."

- "now he is in beloved Baba's lap"

- "May his soul get peaceful place in His lap"

- "He is now in BÁBÁ'S loving lap"

- "May Baba bless him with a seat in His lap."

- "May BABA accept him in HIS divine lap!"

- "May Baba take him in his eternal loving lap."

- "Please keep him on Your lap forever."

All of the above lines are commonly written in eulogizing the deceased. Of course, it is fine to write like that. Here the point is that this same phrase "in Baba's lap" should also be used when describing one's devotional practices and experiences. But these days mostly it is used in a eulogy and rarely used to recount one's devotional experiences - unfortunately. By this way, the phrase "in Baba's lap" is being misused and step by step the real meaning is being forgotten as now people more commonly use the phrase to eulogize those who have died, and much less so to express their devotional feeling. Unfortunately, the meaning and inner spirit of the phrase is getting lost.

Here again is the central idea:

The connotation of death must not become synonymous with "being on Baba's lap." Because the phrase - "being on Baba's lap" - is a devotional experience that can happen today itself in sadhana, and especially in dhyana. The phrase "being on Baba's lap" should not lose this quality and only mean death. It should not meet the same dark fate as happened with the term harijan. Nowadays, for the occasion of death / mahaprayan, 99.9% of the time people use the phrase "on Baba's lap", and for devotional stories the phrase "on Baba's lap" is used 0.01% of the time. That is why - for devotional purposes - this phrase is already included on the endangered species list.

Land sale: habitual liars tell truth also

Land sale:

habitual liars sometime tell truth also

Note: This is part of an ongoing series of letters - links to earlier postings on this topic have been appended below.

Namaskar,
Not long back, SSNY denied to one and all that he would ever sell NY sectorial office in Corona, Queens (NYC). Verily NYSS Dada was taking oaths in public and he was swearing that he would never sell it (see links below). But now look what he is doing.

When some margiis recently came forward to save the situation - and ensure that jagriti was not purchased by an outside buyer, then NYSS Dada is demanding top dollar from those margiis for the property.

Thus, although SSNY Dada has a history of lying about this in the past, now it is apparent he is no longer in denial. Now he is telling the truth. In his below letter (see section 2), SS Dadaji is openly proclaiming that he is indeed selling the jagrti / office - and for maximum money too.

Two ways he is exploiting those margiis

Verily for the last year SSNY has been attempting to sell NYSO and it is not getting sold - many say because it is grossly overpriced. And now when sincere margiis have come forward to purchase it, SS Dada Vimalanandji is exploiting their devotional sentiment by asking that top price from them. He was hoping that margiis would pay a price that the general public is unwilling to pay - simply because of their devotional cum sentimental link with that property.

Thus SS Dada Vimalanandji is exploiting those margiis on two levels:

(1) Firstly, Dada Vimalanandji knows that those margiis feel like their backs are against the wall because if they do not act swiftly then some outside buyer may purchase NYSO.

(2) Secondly, Dadaji knows that those margiis do not think that he will cheat them - so he is grossly overcharging them.

Exploiting both of these sentiments and vulnerabilities, Dada Vimalanandji has jacked the price of NYSO to the maximum, thinking that those margiis have no bargaining power and have no option but to pay him the exorbitant price that he is asking.

Such is the extremely devious and greedy ploy of SSNY Dada Vimalanandji.

in Him,
Tapamaya

Dada Vimalanandji's letter to one margii

From: Acharya Vimalananda Avadhuta

To: Raghuram Oldham


YATO DHARMA TATO IS'T'AH, YATO IS'T'AH TATO JAYAH

(NO ATTACHMENT FILES SENT )
Baba Nam Kevalam...
Dear Brother, RaghuRam Ji, (Vancouver, CANADA)
Namaskar.
After finishing conversation with you on the phone, I pondered the following,
Your sincerity is appreciated. Unfortunately, is extremely late in the process, though we have been  communicating the scenario on our official website since more than six months ago. In the meantime the owed amount goes on increasing considerably every month. The property will be lost altogether if we do not actively work to retire it in time.  I must not allow that to happen. Thus we have two options given below that may allow us to be diverted;
A. Some one, a good samaritan, immediate donates US$ 400,000 with no strings attached and writes a history of generosity in protecting the  property in NYC.
B. Any department of Ananda Marga may become the next owner of the property. In such a case, should you be a willing buyer for the property, then we offer the following for you to consider:
-- Purchase price: $1,450,000 All Cash, No Mortgage, with certificate of funds supplied by buyer at offer,
-- Condition: AS IS, AS IS
-- Good faith security deposit due at offer: 50% (held in escrow with attorney)
-- Sales offer deadline:  Wed Feb 3, 2015, noon ET.
Note:  Your purchase offer should include name(s) and contact info for your broker and attorney, if any.
If you have active interest in the house as a buyer, kindly let us know immediately.  I would then give you our broker name and contact info., promptly, and further information.
Brotherly yours;
At His Lotus Feet,
Ac. Vimalananda Avt.
SS NY Sector.

Three Kinds Of Devotees and Tests + 2 More

Three Kinds of Devotees & Tests:

It Is Sinful To Blame Baba

By Stating He Gives Tests, Harasses, & Puts Thorns On The Path

Ananda Marga Scripture says, “Karttrtva karma karmaphala ["Doership, action, result of the action"]. Human beings do the actions, and the results come according to the law of nature — the Lord has nothing to do with it. So when people are in trouble, they say: “Oh God, what have You done to me? What put this into Your mind?” But the fact is that Na’ra’yan’a, God, has done nothing, and had nothing in His mind. You have done something and are suffering the consequences. You are in trouble and you are crying out. Many people are like this. But Na’ra’yan’a has done nothing. As you have sown, so you now reap. This is the plain truth.” (Discourses on Krsna & the Giita, “You Have the Right to Action Only”)

Some people unfortunately do not like to admit their own sins and faults. And in due course when they face the samskara (consequence or reaction), they blame God, i.e. Parama Purusa Baba, for their wrongdoing – thereby committing sin. That is the central idea of the above teaching.

In 1970, Dadaji lost faith in Baba because of his own bad samskaras of the past. That time he was very frustrated and he started blaming Baba & accusing Him: “He (Baba) confused my mind and that is why I lost faith in Him.” But, falsely accusing and blaming Guru in this way is sinful. Yet, that is what Dada Tapeshvaranandji did in his book. True bhaktas do not blame God for the suffering which they faced for their own sins. That is the essence of the above cited Ananda Marga scripture.

Difference Between Good And Bad Devotees

Everyone has to undergo their negative and positive samsakras according to their good and bad deeds.

True devotees realise that when they are facing difficulties etc, they are simply undergoing the reaction of their past actions. They also know that action-reaction theory saves them from harming others. Top grade devotees understand all this in the depth of their heart. So when they are suffering they become more alert not to harm others in the future.

Second grade devotees waver when they are in difficulty. Sometimes they say that this is due to their past samskaras, and other times they blame Guru for putting them in trouble and giving them tests. According to their own whim, their mind flip-flops from one perspective to the other.

Those who are third class or low grade devotees blame Parama Purusa 100% of the time. They accuse Him that without rhyme or reason: “Sadguru is giving tests and putting me in trouble.” By this way those low-grade bhaktas push themselves further into sin.

Even after knowing the truth, they do not want to accept or recognise the fact that they are facing the reactions of their own sin. 

By the grace of Parama Purusa, when one grows spiritually then they never blame or say "Guru gives tests." One cannot think in this way. Rather when facing any problem they say or feel that this is due to their past samskara. This is basic difference between first, second, and third class devotees.

Namaskar,
In Him,
Satyajiit

~ This Morning, In The Stream Of Your Tune, I Have Threaded A Garland ~

"Toma'ri surero srote, a'j prabha'te ma'la' genthechi...” (PS #1843)

Purport:

O’ Lord, this morning, in the stream of Your tune, I have threaded a garland especially for You. Whether You wish to accept and wear it or not, please know that I love You. According to Your wish, I have completed the task. Now it is up to You to accept it or not. But please remember, with great reverence, love, and affection, I have tried to complete all that You have graciously allotted for me.

O’ Lord, Your divine tune is coming from an unknown origin and floating into my heart. With the resonance of rhythm and melody suffused in each and every song, I practiced those divine tunes.

Those melodies go on floating in various directions in the physical, psychic, and psycho-spiritual realms, and also in the resonance of my drowsy mind. Amazingly, by Your grace, I caught hold of those divine melodies in the unnamed songs of my heart.

Baba, please accept my offering - I surrender at Your lotus feet...
