Baba
My story
Namaskar,
I was born and brought up in an orthodox, brahmin family. My grandfather
was the priest of the local temples and an exponent of the religious
literature. I got an opportunity to learn every shastra available with
him and formed my psychology accordingly. Afterwards I came in touch
with Ananda Marga literature and Rev. Baba's scientific explanations
revealed the truth. I forgot everything of the past and repented for
wasting so much time in karmkanda. I observed and was shocked to know
how the truth is being hidden by the so-called karmkandi pundits of the
society due to vested interests only.
That is why I say that the experiences should be written on the basis of
science and truth, which may be understood similarly by everyone
without any confusion. But it is also a truth that regarding Parama
Purusa , no two bhaktas have shown their experiences identically yet we
may try on most of the common and basic ideas essential for
understanding.
So that is a little bit about my own upbringing and how dogma is injected in the society.

People misled by pundits
The so-called religious literature available today is quite misleading
and the exponents are providing various explanations of the same matter
to satisfy their own needs and prestige. No two pundits are similar on
the same treatise and the poor people are being led to different camps
and confusion, on this basis.
If you go through the explanations of these religious exponents on
srimadbhagvadgiita, upanishads and similar other books you will
certainly realize that how improper teachings of those verses have been
continuing since thousands of years. In my opinion, the cause of this is
that the writers have written their experiences either in compact form
or using figures of speech hence while drawing essence of them people
make their own ideas according to their knowledge and sanskar. When the
truth is brought before them they do not try to accept lest they will
lose their fame.
Case study: bogus quote dragged into AMPS
Unfortunately, nowadays we see similar things going on in Ananda Marga
Pracaraka Samgha. Just as so-called karamkandi pundits inject dogma for
their own self-interest, this following quote was fabricated by one
particular Dada and his Wt followers. In the name of Baba, that group
leader issued this bogus quote:
"I am not this physical body, this physical body is not me. If you want
to know me, work for my mission, because I have merged myself with my
mission."
Obviously this statement goes against all truth and rationality.
Here we have to remember that all beings emanate from the Cosmic Entity
Parama Purusa – so He is the only thing who is anadi (beginningless),
ananta (endless), and infinite. Thus, there is nothing greater or bigger
than Parama Purusa. So it is impossible for that infinite, Divine
Parama Purusa to wholly merge into something mundane, i.e. mission.
So this is a bogus quote, yet it is quite popular.
It was created by Wts so margiis will blindly obey all sorts of dogmas
which leaders impose. And that is exactly what has happened for
centuries upon centuries in the dogmatic brahmin communities - and in so
many aspects of society.

My dream
"Ghum ghore dekhechi go, bhávacho tumi ámár kathá…” (Prabhat Samgiita #0236)
Purport:
O' Parama Purusa, in the depths of my slumber, in dream, I have seen
that You are thinking about me. But for so long I had such a strong
yearning for You yet it seemed You were keeping Yourself away. So many
ages came and went, and that whole time I was lost in my misery thinking
that no one could comprehend the extent of my pain. You were not aware
about me. I felt hopeless in that despondent state. But I was wrong. You
do care about me.
O' Parama Purusa, my days were coming and going in sadness and I was
only drowning in my own tears, thinking that no one loves me. But today I
realised that You are full of mineness for me. Baba, You love me so
much. Now my entire existence is filled with joy. You are so merciful.
O' Devata’, the Divine Entity, due to Your affection I move towards You with my sadhana, dhyana, puja, and kiirtana.
Baba, by Your infinite kindness, now I recognise that ours is a very
intimate relation. You are Love-Personified, the most compassionate One.
You watch over me all the 24 hours - all the time, O’ my dearest One of
my life...

They are indulged in animal dharma not manava dharma
Ananda Marga ideology guides us, "Human beings should die a glorious
death, a death worthy of a human being. They should never give
indulgence to the crude animal propensities. “Svadharme nidhanaḿ
shreyah”. It is better to die a glorious death than to continue living a
life of carnal pleasure. “Paradharmo bhayávahah.” It is dangerous to
follow the characteristics which are only fit for non-humans." (1)
Note: This guideline and critique is indirectly aimed at the lesbian,
gay, and bi-sexual community and the sexual culture of materialism that
indulges in sex for sex sake. Such persons live like animals - plunged
in degrading propensities. Although they are in human form they are
following animal dharma. Their future is not bright. Such an existence
is not befitting a human being. Human longing is infinite - instead of
indulging in degrading, finite pleasures, one must contemplate the
Great. So one is to adopt an ideal human life goading the mind towards
Parama Purusa. That is manava dharma, or human dharma.

This Goal provides inspiration, supplies the means for forward movement
and makes the little lamps of life infinitely effulgent - Ananda Vanii #67
Ananda Vanii states, "The movement and the path, the means and the chariot are all inseparably linked. The path is not always easily accessible, smooth and littered with flower petals; nor is it always inaccessible, thorny and covered with stones. One must keep one's eye fixed on the Goal. This Goal provides inspiration, supplies the means for forward movement and makes the little lamps of life infinitely effulgent. Since eternity this very Goal has provided and is providing inspiration to all and will continue to do so in future; and by revitalising the life-force as if with a flow of water, it will make the earth ever full of sweetness, and at the same time it will keep the triumphant flag of humanity flying on top of the golden mountain peak. So let one's vision be fixed on the goal. There is no necessity to think of anything else." (1)
Note 1: 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.

हे प्रभु, तुम्हारी कृपा से मैं बस इतना जानता हूूं कि जब तुम अपनी तनिक सी भी कृपा बरसा दोगे तब मैं तुम्हें पा लॅूंगा।
प्रभात संगीत 2199 तोमार तरे विश्व घुरे, बेरियाछिलुम, शुधु शुधु...
भावार्थ
बाबा तुम इस सृष्टि में सबसे आकर्षक हो। मैं इस विशाल संसार में घूमता रहा, केवल तुमको ही खोजता रहा, पर कहीं भी न तो देख पाया और न ही पा सका। मैं अनेक तथाकथित पवित्र गाॅंवों , नगरों और महानगरों में तुम्हारे दर्शनों की अभिलाषा में भटकता रहा, बनारस, पुरी, मक्का, रोम, यरुशलम इतना ही नहीं आनन्दनगर, तिलजला और जमालपुर जैसे तथाकथित तीर्थों में भी गया पर तुम्हारे दर्शनों की मेरी प्यास नहीं बुझी। तुम मुझे वहाॅं दिखे ही नहीं , मैं तुम्हें वहाॅं नहीं पा सका। हे मेरे परमप्रभु! मैं उन किन्हीं भी स्थलों पर अपने मन की मधुर सत्ता को नहीं पा सका।
हे दिव्य सत्ता बाबा! तुम्हारे बारे में विभिन्न लोग भिन्न भिन्न प्रकार की बातें करते हैं। कुछ लोग व्यर्थ तर्क देकर मूर्खता पूर्ण प्रलाप करते हैं । और ए मेरे विधु! ए मेरे चंद्रमा! कुछ लोग तो यह भी कहते हैं कि तुम्हें दर्शनशास्त्रों के अध्ययन और आध्यात्मिक विज्ञान के अभ्यास से भी नहीं पाया जा सकता...... ....।
मेरे प्रभु बाबा! मेरे पास कोई आध्यात्मिक संपदा या आत्मज्ञान नहीं है कि तुम्हें पा सकॅूं, पर मैं इतना अवश्य जानता हॅूं कि तुम सब कुछ के सार हो। तुम ही मेरे लक्ष्य हो। तुम्हारी कृपा से मैं बस इतना जानता हूूं कि जब तुम अपनी तनिक सी भी कृपा बरसा दोगे तब मैं तुम्हें पा लॅूंगा।
बाबा! मुझ पर अपनी कृपा बनाये रखना
