Negative way to bring unity + 4 more

Baba

Negative way to bring unity

Namaskar,

The Britishers, as outsiders, injected the communal award within India to break Her back. In contrast, group leaders within AMPS have incited their own quest for power along factional lines and destroyed AMPS. Beyond operating from the outside verses from the inside, the two scenarios are exactly the same. Before 1947 in India and after 1990 in AMPS, there was an undercurrent brewing of communal and group sentiment as well as an unleashing of fury and fighting that divided both India and AMPS into various pieces.

An anti-exploitation-cum-ideological movement must be started in order to bring forth the righteous forces. Asking all the agents of groupism to come on-site is merely adding fuel to the fire of factional infighting. Yet that is what has been happening in AMPS nowadays, time and again.

Issues for anti-exploitation movement

Baba’s pointed directive is to launch an anti-exploitation movement. At present the various central Wts are exploiting margiis on numerous fronts and so many dogmas have been imposed. They have:

(a) curtailed Bhukti Pradhan rights,
(b) manipulated the voter lists for BP elections,
(c) continually forced margiis to be subservient to Wts,
(d) ruined the ACB (Advisory Committee & Boards),
(e) invented the Fake BP Manual,
(f) taken advantage of margiis financially, and
(g) victimised countless innocent margiis who expressed concern about unjust organisational dealings.

For a full list of injustices, see link appended below the signature.

So an anti-exploitation movement must be formed based on margii rights and other common issues founded on the Ananda Marga teachings of universal welfare. This will summon many committed Ananda Margiis – family persons and wholetimers – and that will be real unity.

Cowards don't have courage to condemn groupism


Carefully please read this below neo-humanism quote as it is directly related with the ongoing there where margiis and wts keep their group affiliation and attend AM functions. That means they come not as humans but as groupists. It shows they are unwilling to discard groupism. It also signifies they are unable to embrace the ideals of neo-humanism. Baba condemns such an approach in the below quote.

   Neo-humanism preaches, “You may have observed many people in the world who delivered long lectures against caste discrimination and untouchability, saying, “No, all are equal. I will take food touched by any caste. If you give me filtered water in a clean glass I will not hesitate to swallow it – just watch me drink!” And the audience applauded, “Very good! Very good!” These people are called reformists; but their inner intention was to maintain the caste system. Had they really wanted to remove caste discrimination, they would have declared, “The cause of this untouchability is the caste system. Because of the caste system, discriminations have emerged between high and low, touchable and untouchable, one caste and another. So let us first of all break the bondage of caste!” If they had had the courage to proclaim this directly, they would have become revolutionaries. But they lacked such boldness, and thus they did enormous harm to humanity by delaying revolution.”
   “The reformists of any age are not the real well-wishers of society. Rather they seek to preserve the defects of society by any means. They are motivated either by a fear complex or by a despicable cunning. And when awareness finally dawns on those who were so long exploited in the politico-economic field, the reformists lose their prestige, and also their popular support.” (2)

In the above highlighted yellow section Baba is depicting the mentality of a few Wts etc who do not have the courage to discard groupism. That is why they are propagating that, “All groups are united”, as opposed to condemning groupism on the whole. It is the same as the above yellow sections whereby certain political leaders refrain from saying that the caste system itself should be eliminated; rather, they say that all the various castes should be united. Such persons are not heroes - they are cowards.

In contrast, those political leaders who proclaim that, “The caste system should be eradicated - all are human” - such leaders are the real heroes. Similarly, those margiis who discard groupism entirely and  treat all as human are heroes. That is what Baba says in the above guideline from neo-humanism.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com/


Farce unfolding in AMPS

It is an absolute farce when Wts attend any function not as wholetimers of Ananda Marga, and not as adherents of neo-humanism and bhagavad dharma, but rather as members of a particular group or faction. They attend Ananda Marga programmes while maintaining their own separate group identity. That is the telltale sign of an organisation or community riddled by factionalism.

We should not forget that Baba says that Ananda Marga scripture should not be read literally, rather the spirit of His teachings should be embraced. And in His above guideline about caste distinctions, Baba warns us that one should never give in to any sectarianism or groupism. Rather groupism must be rooted out entirely.


Conclusion

In AMPS some are embracing the bogus concept of uniting all the groups, thereby contravening Baba's divine teachings and undermining human unity. All the while some are standing and proclaiming that those who welcome all the groups are divine. This is the confusion going on nowadays.

In Him,
Raghava

Just like heralded for being gay


Those indulging in homosexual relations are animalistic, stuck in subhuman dealing, and contravening the code of bhagavad dharma. They are undermining their own humanity. Yet nowadays in places where materialism reigns supreme, people are being heralded as heroes for openly proclaiming themselves as being gay. The irony is that in our AMPS a related situation is unfolding where those openly announcing themselves as groupists are being serenaded and celebrated as veritable demigods. How sad and tragic it is that some have wholly forgotten Sadguru Baba’s universal teachings of neo-humanism which outrightly condemn all forms of groupism and provincialism.

You have done so much for me

"Ámáy keno bhálobásile, guń nái, guń nái jinánao nái..." (Prabhat Samgiita #2283)

Purport:

My Parama Purusa, You are so loving and gracious; why do You love me so much. I do not have any quality or merit; nor do I have any knowledge or learning. What then did You observe in me that made You pour Your karuna on me.

Baba, You have given me a healthy physical body, a sound mind, and a heart filled with bhakti, and saturated my core with a strong feeling for realisation of the Supreme. You have bestowed upon me an awakened intellect to serve the society. Knowing that I am helpless and have no one besides You as my own, You have granted me everything, above and beyond - more than what was needed - in all realms. It is Your causeless grace.

Parama Purusa Baba, You brought me onto this earth by providing me with a human form. You filled my mind with spiritual yearning and infused a strong longing of paramartha for You. Even then, such is my miserable condition: I always remain forgetful about You and Your grace. Baba, why do You love me so much...

Sign of fake margiis / wts

Namaskar,

I have observed that a few enthusiastic bhaktas:
1. Present BABA's words as their own; and,
2. Present their own realisation in the name of BABA.
Regarding the above point #1, those sadhakas must realise the core meaning of Baba's teaching and then reproduce that in their own words. It is against all the codes of discipline and reverence to present Guru's words as one's own.

Regarding the above point #2, it is important to qualify when one is giving their own personal perspective and not place that in the name of Guru.

Sadly, the distortion of BABA's scriptures is rampant. This group's venture is most dangerous.

in Him,
Dharmapala

When most powerful weapons become impotent


Ananda Marga philosophy states, "Yes, it is true that all weapons can destroy a certain number of people – some kill a hundred, some a thousand, some a hundred thousand. That is how the lethal capacity of a weapon is measured. But however terrible a weapon might be, one day all its might will vanish into the void. There was a time when human beings were frightened by bows and arrows; today’s humans, when they hear of battles with bows and arrows, simply laugh. This shows that however great might be the strength of weapons in a war of any age, or however powerful their controllers might be, their grip will one day be loosened, and the structure will decay into dust – just as the plaster on the wall gradually crumbles into the ground."

Solution: empty jagrtis + 3 more

Baba

Solution: empty jagrtis

Namaskar,

It has become a norm nowadays to use “busyness” in social work as an excuse to reduce sa’dhana’ into a brief ritual or altogether skipping other lessons. Some wholetime workers have been living in this manner for a while. Likewise, whether or not a Wt is strictly following yama and niyama is often ignored because after all that worker is “busy” and working for a good cause.

Some think that there is no need for paying attention to whether Wts are following Ananda Marga ideology and practices as long as they are physically contributing towards social work projects such as getting a jagrti or school building constructed and flood relief work executed. But such an approach needs our careful review.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com

Without sadhana: fake service


Humans are mind-dominated beings. Any action performed by a human being is first conceptualized as a thought by his / her mind. If a person’s thoughts are improper then that person’s actions will also be improper. Thoughts will be proper only in the presence of a proper ideology.

In the realm of social service, any action performed is effective only if it brings welfare for the whole society. However, without following a spiritual ideology and related practices, the mind becomes selfish and cannot perform selfless social service. One may superficially show oneself as a selfless social worker, but internally cannot overcome weaknesses like lust for fame or greed, and as a result may funnel money to a black pocket.

Ananda Marga ideology says, “And without practising meditation, one cannot render selfless service to the society.” (1)

How people degrade & fall


Seven thousand years ago Lord Shiva came and taught people sa’dhana’ and other dos and don’ts on dharmic life like diet, exercise, family relations, music, and numerous aspects of spirituality. In due course, however, people forgot His teachings altogether. After three thousand five hundred years, Lord Shrii Krsna gave His teachings. He also taught many unique points on intuitional science and society building. Not so long after that, Shrii Krsna’s teachings were almost completely destroyed. Only a few shlokas remained in books, and those that remained were littered with many distortions. Ironically, people became involved in dogmatic practices like idol worship and ja’tiva’da or casteism. This led to a darkness in the society. Thus, the moral of the story is that even if Ta’raka Brahma Himself comes, people lose His teachings and distort His sha’stra / scripture. Without proper sha’stra, people cannot make progress as they do not have the proper path. And as a result, they commit wrongs in the society.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com

Main cause of all the problems


A vast majority of people do not read philosophy. Rather, they prefer to follow what the leaders are doing. If the leaders do not follow the ideology, then a vast majority will follow their footsteps and will get degenerated. Due to the lack of adhering to the ideology, the whole world is moving into a darkness. All the problems of the world today can be related to the lack of following the proper ideology or following the wrong philosophy. A few such problems caused by a lack of proper philosophy are listed below.

(A) People do not feel that others are their brothers and sisters and instead feel alienated. Some such mentally alienated people get so frustrated and mentally ill that they go in the middle of a marketplace with a gun and shoot anyone and everyone they come across. Such news is not so uncommon nowadays.
(B) The problem of religious extremism and ensuing terrorism is also caused by religious dogma.
(C) The materialistic philosophy of capitalism has done enormous damage to the society. People run after money and feel that they will get happiness by earning more and more money but end up making others poor and also not getting satisfaction in their own lives. People do not know what is proper food and they eat meat and other junk food and become unhealthy. Likewise, following the materialistic philosophy of communism makes people like animals.

AM mission: Man-making not brick-making

With the advent of the 3rd Mahasambhuti Shrii Shrii Anandamurti jii, humanity was blessed with a new vibration of dharmic teachings and spiritual ideology. Baba has laid out the path, Ananda Marga, for humanity to follow and progress. Ideology is, therefore, very important in AMPS. We should, thus, protect and propagate Ananda Marga ideology. This is what is His supreme command.

Baba has set up a man-making mission for His disciples. Any social work or infrastructure development project can be undertaken only if it is aligned with the main man-making mission. Otherwise, what was the use of Shrii Shrii Anandamurti jii’s coming to this dusty earth—for even ordinary people were also engaged in infrastructure development and social work projects before His advent.

Empty jagrtis, temples, churches, & synagogues

There are so many empty jagrtis, thousands of large but empty temples, churches, and synagogues already on this planet. Do we need more such empty places of worship? We need to urgently create sadhakas. AMPS today is a dying organization. In various functions, we can see that a vast majority of attendees are old Margiis. All the training centers are almost empty. A family surely gets destroyed if new babies are not born. The need of the hour is to create new Ananda Margiis so that the Ananda Marga family thrives. Otherwise, empty training centers and jagrtis will turn into abandoned “ghost houses”.

Ananda Marga ideology says, “Remember, Ananda Marga is a man-making mission. Both quantity and quality are important.” (2)

Conclusion


The only long-lasting solution to the social problems is the propagation (praca’ra) of Ananda Marga ideology. The first step in praca’ra is to follow the ideology in one’s own life and become a living example of Ananda Marga teachings. If a person does not follow ideology in his life then how can that person get the necessary inspiration, courage, and shakti do AM praca’ra?
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com

Human happiness can only be achieved by means of spiritual progress. Thus, the perpetual work of an Ananda Margii is to do dharma praca’ra. Society’s ills will be healed only by the medicine of following and propagating spiritual ideology and practices.

In Him,
Bhakti

Driving away flies

If a person is afflicted with a wound and the person merely hires someone to drive away the flies that sit on the wound then that approach is defective. Firstly, such an approach is a quick-fix solution and will not cure the wound that is the root cause behind flies bothering the person. If the afflicted person really wants to get rid of the flies then the person needs to take the appropriate medicine and heal the wound. Driving away flies from a wound is a temporary solution and does not heal the wound itself.

Social service and infrastructural development projects are also time-specific and needed but will not solve the main problems. An immediate need of social service must be met, but the long-term solution is praca’ra of Ananda Marga ideology. And for praca’ra, the workers must internalize the ideology in their own lives. Without internalizing Ananda Marga ideology in one’s own life the whole purpose of having gotten a human life will be defeated, and one’s life will become worthless, regardless of how much work one does on the physical plane.

In the event of a disaster, relief work is required but that is just a temporary solution. Any kind of social service project or relief work should, no doubt, be done when needed, but should be seen as a temporary measure just like driving away flies from a wound.

Is my feeling unknown to Him

PS Intro: In this following song the bhakta is talking directly to Parama Purusa yet addressing Him in the third person: "He (Parama Purusa) is calling me but what can I give Him." So the bhakta is confiding in Parama Purusa in an intimate way, but doing so in a unique fashion by referring to Parama Purusa  as "He" and "Him".

"Aja'na' Pathik a'j keno d'a'ke a'ma'ke..." (Prabhat Samgiita #3554)

Purport:

Why is the Ajáná Pathik calling me today. He is the vast Entity - Parama Purusa. And I am meagre - just a small unit being, a tiny molecule. What can I offer to Him in His service. Why is He calling me.

In my life there is very tiny flame in the lamp of bhakti that is flickering, ever on the verge of extinguishing. But even then, by pouring my heart, I have kept that lamp lit. It is His grace. Is He unaware about this. Is my feeling unknown to Him. Yet in His cosmic liila, I am dancing directly in front of Him.

I am just like a firefly prancing and circling around the shining moon. My existence is plunged in worldly gains and mundane allurements, but when I think about His greatness then I lose myself, again and again, in His divine refulgence. I float in the irresistible attraction of His love with spiritual horripilation. It is His krpa...

Similarity: humans & frogs

Ananda Marga philosophy states, "In that era people used to live in trees. They used to secure themselves to the tree or the tree branch with their tail so that they would not fall out of the tree while they were asleep. Later on, when human beings began to build temporary dwellings in the trees, the possibility of falling out diminished. Naturally, since the need for a tail diminished, the tail became smaller. Later still, when human beings learned to build permanent dwellings on the ground the need for a tail completely disappeared. Since there is no need for a tail now, there is no tail. The need for a tail disappeared some hundreds of thousands of years ago. There is, however, a truncated bone at the base of the backbone which is a carryover from that past time. It is present in the fetus while it is in its mother's womb. Thereafter the tail does not grow in proportion to the rest of the body. By the time the human child is born the tail is no longer outside the body. A somewhat similar thing happens with frogs. The tadpole has a tail but when it gets bigger it falls off. This all happens in the path of emanation." (1)
