Baba
Answer to B group trick
Namaskar,
Uninformed people employ the following way in support of the Tiljala dogma:
Nobody likes to talk about how they will leave the body with their close relations. A mother will not sit down with her daughter and tell what should be done when she (the mother) dies. No parent speaks like this with their children or close relations. So why should Baba speak with bhaktas about when He withdraws His Mahasambhuti form? That is why Baba never discussed this. But actually He does want the annual mahaprayan (MPD) to be observed; just He did not mention it in Caryacarya for the aforesaid reasons.

This is the way that some people justify their cause.
Ananda Marga Caryacarya says, “The period of mourning should not extend beyond twelve days.” (1)
He has addressed all circumstances
In His discourses, Baba always guides us how this world is transitory and that life is short. He constantly discusses the nature of this ephemeral world with His bhaktas. So there is no question of Him considering His withdrawal of His Mahasambhuti form as a sensitive topic which He did not want to address. Rather He spoke openly about what to do at that time. And He has directly told how to do meditation and Guru puja after He is no longer in His form as Mahasambhuti. All these points He has described in the Acarya Diary. And a sincere sadhaka knows that He remains ever-present as Taraka Brahma.

Baba has given the requisite guidelines for all possible circumstances. One cannot lay claim that Baba did not want to address this matter of the withdrawal of His Mahasambuti form. Rather He has told everything very clearly and never did He mention to have an annual death day ceremony as this runs directly against the tenets of Ananda Marga ideology.

Conclusion
The key point is that Baba has given the guideline how to manage when He withdraws His Mahasambhuti form. So one cannot levy the accusation that Baba never addressed such a circumstance. No one can justify that it was necessary to invent so-called mahaprayan. Baba spoke in great detail about all aspects of life including how to make offerings to Him when He is no longer using His Mahasambhuti form. So if He wished for His bhaktas to annually celebrate so-called mahaprayan then He would certainly have included this in Caryacarya. The fact that He explicitly did not include it in Caryacarya etc demonstrates that He does not wish for such an event to be observed annually. And that fact stands that He remains eternally as Taraka Brahma.

So the fact that B group is doing this annually is absolutely sinful.

Link between schooling & spirituality
Ananda Marga philosophy states, "Question: Suppose in a particular country people are very much moralist: there is no dearth of food and other physical necessities, and there is free psychic movement also – there is no bar in reading a particular book or coming in contact with a particular philosophy. Even in that case can there be spiritual Pramátrikońa in that country?"
"Answer: For spiritual practice you are to create a spiritual urge. Therefore you are to create a proper system of education. Education should be imparted in a spiritual and psychic style. When they get proper education, a proper spiritual urge is created and then they will start Sádhaná. So we must start primary schools throughout the entire world to create a spiritual urge amongst the little pupils. I am not in favour of starting colleges; I am in favour of starting primary schools. In the entire world we have got one degree college at Ananda Nagar and thousands of kindergarten schools."
"That is why it is desirable in the first phase to start many primary schools instead of colleges. Merely opening high schools and colleges without a proper system of education will not serve the purpose. Rather, thousands of kindergarten and primary schools must be started with this new system of education, to create a spiritual urge amongst children throughout the entire world." (1)

Why following dharmic principles is rare
Ananda Marga ideology states, “Suppose there is a virtuous discussion going on somewhere. If you invite two hundred people to this discussion, you will find that only sixty invitees have turned up, at the most. Out of these participants about ten or twelve people at most listen with patience and devotion to the talks; and out of these listeners, only some properly understand the subject discussed. Then again, out of this small group that has understood, only a very few may retain in their minds what they have understood. Lastly, only one or two persons of this last group may practice in their daily lives what they have learnt and understood. This is only due to the clash between vidyá and avidyá in the mind, and in this clash the triumph of avidyá or the extroversive force means running from the introversive bent of vidyá. It is because of the saḿskaras of animality that the introversive momentum is rare in the average human mind. The sensuous desires of avidyá continue to infiltrate into every thought process. Such a situation continues for a long time in a sádhakas life.” (1)

Bengali royalty did not support Mahasambhuti
Ananda Marga philosophy states, "During the war between the Kaoravas and the Pan'davas, the kings of Bengal did not take part. They thought there is no benefit in it." (1)
The advent of Mahasambhuti on this planet is a grand event. Of course He does everything according to His divine plan. Those whom He graces work according to His direction and follow the command of Mahasambhuti. Those blessed souls who have a good samskara and strong bhakti - and ultimately His grace - work unitedly under His shelter. Whereas those whose samskaras are not good or are in a different flow keep themselves away. That is what happened in the Mahabharat era. From Afghanistan and Pakistan to Sri Lanka, and each and every nook and corner of south and north India, all the states including Nepal joined in to cooperate with Lord Krsna's divine plans and programs. While some like Duryodhana did not lend their support. As Baba says in His above teaching, that time the leaders of Bengal did not support Mahasambhuti.
Something similar is going on these days also as some from Bengal are not supporting. They are disobeying Guru Baba: By their own whim they invented the dogma of mahaprayan and observe it annually. This was never given or approved by Baba.

Treasures on the path of human progress
“The most valuable treasures on the path of human progress are honesty, simplicity and spiritedness. In no stratum of life should you allow the standard of honesty to deteriorate.”
“In no situation, except during the struggle for Dharma, should you indulge in diplomacy or duplicity.”
“In other words you must keep yourself straight in all other strata just as in Sastáuṋga Prańáma, and remain vigilant that the fire of your spiritedness is under no circumstances buried beneath a heap of ashes. None of these three – honesty, simplicity or spiritedness – are found in dogma, hence you should strictly avoid dogma.” (Ananda Vanii #54)
Note 1: This Ananda Vanii is extremely misused by negative forces. For example, some go against neo-humanism and illicitly sell organisational properties yet justify in their own mind that this is diplomacy and they are doing for their group cause. While some indulge in sexual scandals and their supervisors and group leaders cover up those scandals. Such in-charges justify in their mind that this is just diplomacy to protect the image and reputation of their group.
And still more harass and victimise margiis for the interest of their own group etc, and all the while they justify in their own mind that they are employing diplomacy for their group. Then there are others who brutally attack & kill Wts and commit many adharmic dealings and they justify in their own mind that they are resorting to diplomacy for the sake of their own group.
Remember, all such above culprits get severely punished by nature, in due course. Because diplomacy is not to be used for the sake of one’s group interest. Diplomacy can only be done to save bhagavat dharma - for the cause of universal welfare. So beware.
Note 2: True Ananda Vaniis have a number whereas Fake Ananda Vaniis do not - just as a fake car license plate has no number. By this way, you can easily recognise a Fake Ananda Vanii.
