DEAR BRO. MICHAEL WEAVER :
Thankyou for bringing to my attention some blunders that have crept in GK Magazine. Usually we are careful in this matter but if any such thing has happened, it is good to bring it to our notice before going public. Yet, we do not mind at all your pointing out our defects. That is how we progress/
Best Regards,

"Every object of the world is dominated by one of the three principles – sentient, mutative, and static. Food is no exception, and according to its intrinsic nature, is divided into the same three categories."
"Sentient food: Food which produces sentient cells and is thus conducive to physical and mental well-being is sentient. Examples of sentient food are rice, wheat, barley, all kinds of pulses, fruit, milk and milk products."
"Mutative food: Food which is good for the body and may or may not be good for the mind, but certainly not harmful for the mind, is mutative."
"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." (1)

Namaskar!
I think this is one of the best postings I have seen
in a long while. It teaches us many things such as respect,
disrespect, pride, ego, devotion, genuine love for Parama
Purusa, strictness and faith regarding the sanctity of Ista,
courage versus cowardliness, etc. I personally did not know
about Baba indicating His full name was not on warrant and that
"P.R. Sarkar" was not His name in that warrant.Anyone around
those days or who knew about that story should know better. That
story alone would tell us how to talk about Baba in public in
addition to what He said in Caryacarya on appreciating the
majesty of Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamrtiji.
Great job!

When the police came to arrest Baba, they arrived with an arrest
warrant that said "PR Sarkar". Baba refused to recognise the
warrant as being legitimate. He said, "That is not my name; that
warrant could be for so many other people whose initials are
PR." On this point, the police accepted defeat so they left
without Baba and came back with a new warrant that stated Baba's
complete name.

this topic has been appended below.

Why under the dark veil of the iron curtain
== Section 4 ==
If you want to memorise anything here is the way
Baba's below teaching discloses the reason why
our scripture has been composed in the genre of poetry:
Because poetry is easy to memorise. For this reason, Baba has
composed our scripture - i.e. Ananda Sutram and Prabhat
Samgiita - in poetic verse.
"In the absence of rhythm it is difficult to memorize. That is why since ancient times, for 15,000 years, the common practice has been to bring every valuable branch of knowledge within the scope of rhythm. Human beings do not easily forget rhythm. One may forget the contents of knowledge, but not the rhythm. That is why all Vedic Rks were composed in 7 meters. All literary compositions were brought within the gamut of the seven Vedic metres...as they are valuable for the memory." (1)
If you want to learn or memorize anything, the easiest way is to set it to rhythm. One paragraph of prose is very difficult to memorise, but 1 stanza of a poem, shloka, or song is comparatively easy to memorise. Rhythm helps in memorising anything.
That is why in their infancy, children are introduced to language via rhythm in nursery rhymes and songs etc. By this way they can quickly learn and advance.
In the distant past, before the invention of any script and before paper came into vogue, people used to keep everything in their mind. There were no books or other media as we see nowadays: Audio, video, writings, etc. There was nothing.
So when there was no way to store ideas or teachings on paper or cassette, then there was no option but to store it all in their memory. The only way to do that was to create rhythmic poetry. So all those past yogis, rishis, sages, thinkers, and munis put their realization in shloka, poem, or any kind of rhythmic expression like vedas, purana etc. Even when script started, most people did not know how to read or write, so those thinkers also put their teachings into poetic verse. This happened all across the globe.
This is not only for those of the past. Today also if you want to memorise anything then put it in rhythmic form. Cunning advertisers create jingles or rhymes to influence consumers and film-makers do the same.
So to keep something readily in the mind then take help of a rhythmic flow, otherwise it will be very difficult to store that in your memory. For this reason Baba has given the key of Ananda Marga teachings - i.e. Ananda Sutram - in poetic form, and Prabhat Samgiita as well. And in virtually every discourse He has included a shloka. By that way - by memorizing one rhythmic shloka - one can get the seed idea of the entire discourse. That is how to memorize that entire discourse in key form.
In His series of discourses on the Faculty of Knowledge, Baba has given so many points about memory and rhythm.

Why under the dark veil of the iron curtain
"Question – Why is everything in the communist
countries done under the dark veil of the iron curtain?"
"Answer – Because they are conscious of the inherent defects and loopholes in their system and they do not want the world to know what they are doing." (1)
"Answer – Because they are conscious of the inherent defects and loopholes in their system and they do not want the world to know what they are doing." (1)
Note: A similar thing is going on in Ananda
Marga these days. To hide their hypocrisy group leaders do
like this.

हे परम पुरुष, मैं अपने हृदय का प्रेम तुमसे कैसे व्यक्त करूँ
प्रभात संगीत 3837: आमी तोमाय भालोबासी,जानाइ की करे....
भावार्थ
हे बाबा ! तुम्हारी कृपा से मैं तुमको प्रेम करता हॅूं। मेरे लिये तुम सब कुछ हो ,तुम जानते हो कि तुम्हारे प्रेम में, मेरी आॅंखें विना रुके कितने आॅसू बहाती हैं। बाबा! कृपा कर बताओ कि मैें तुमको प्रेम करता हूूॅं यह मैं किस प्रकार व्यक्त करूं? ए परम प्रिय! मेरे हृदय का प्रेम तुम्हारेे हृदय के साथ अनुनाद करता है, इस प्रकार तुम समझ सकते हो। इसके अलावा मेरे पास कोई शब्द नहीं हैं जिनसे मैं अपने हृदय का प्रेम तुमसे व्यक्त कर सकॅूं।
हे बाबा! हर प्रातः काल में जब सूर्य अपनी अरुणिमा ले कर उदित होता है तो मुझे लगता है तुम अपनी दिव्य आभा से उदित हो रहे हो। बाबा, तुम कितने सुंदर हो, तुम अपनी आभा हर स्थान पर विखेरते हो। असंख्य फूलों और उनकी सुगंध में तुम अपनी दिव्य मधुरता उडे़लते रहते हो। पूर्वी गुलाबी क्षितिज में तुम मधुर नर्म समीर के द्वारा मुझे बुलाते हो और कृपा कर अपनी छाती से लगा लेते हो।
हे परम पुरुष बाबा! रंगीन सूर्यास्त की शाम के शुभ आकर्षक क्षणों में तुम अपने अनन्त प्रेम से हमेशा मधुर मुस्कान विखेरते हो। उस समय तुम बार-बार आश्वाशन देते हुये, मुझसे कहते हो कि अब जाओ तुम्हारे आराम का समय हो गया है, कल फिर तुम्हें बुलाते हुए आ जाऊंगा। यह मीठे शब्द उस कोमल क्षण में तुम मुझे कान में फुसफुसाते हो। बाबा, तुम बड़े दयालु हो, तुम हमेशा मेरे साथ हो। बाबा तुम्हारी मनोरंजक कथायें और प्रेम कहानियाॅं इस विश्व में और मेरे मन और हृदय में सदा ही तैरती रहती हैं।
बाबा तुम मेरे सबकुछ हो । मैं तुम्हें बहुत चाहता हॅूं......
टिप्पणीः प्रेम एकपक्षीय नहीं होता है ।
इस गीत में भक्त और परमपुरुष के बीच के प्रेम को द्विपक्षीय बताया गया है एकपक्षीय नहीं । अनेक अवसरों पर बाबा ने यह कहा है कि मानव परमपुरुष को प्रेम करते हैं और वे परमपुरुष, मानव को प्रेम करते हैं । यह पारस्परिक होता है, एक पक्षीय नहीं और यह भौतिक चीजों के आकर्षण वाली वासना नहीं, यह दिव्य प्रेम होता है।
