BABA
B group copied from Islam
Namaskar,
It
is well-known that the founders of MPD dogma treat their so-called
mahaprayan program in Tiljala as a yearly shraddha ceremony, or annual
death day program.
The
same Islamic dogma of "yearly shraddha" - observing the death of a
human being year after year - has been named shraddhainjali and it is
going on in the form of mahaprayan divas (MPD).
Each
year, on so-called mahaprayan day food is served and gifts are given to
the poor. Just like in the dogmatic Islamic shraddha ceremonies for
deceased human beings.
Similarity between AMPS Mahaprayana and Islamic Mahaprayana (Urs)
Please
pay attention to the Islamic holy tomb. There is a central decorated
building, and inside that the tomb is there. It is obvious, there is so
much crowd, so there is no room to go inside. So the followers are
sitting and paying their homage to the deceased religious leader. Pay
attention to how the crowd is gathered, and they are doing their ritual.
Such similar things happen in Tiljala also, which are displayed in the
second photo. In Islam this annual death ceremony is called “Urs”. But
in our Bengal, it is called “Mahaprayan”. But the basic things are
similar.
Above, the Islamic followers are sitting encircling the tomb and paying their homage to the deceased religious leader.
Indeed,
this is the common Islamic dogmatic platform in India. Each year, the
shraddhanjli or Urs of deceased leaders is performed. Dogmatic Islamics
garland their tomb, offer food to the poor, and distribute clothing.
Since
1990, this same dogma has been going on in Ananda Marga in the form of
the so-called mahaprayan occasion. Thus the so-called mahaprayan program
in Kolkata mirrors Islamic dogma; plus so-called mahaprayan is openly
observed as a type of mourning / sad ceremony.
Whereas
in Ananda Marga, our annual festivals are marked by joy &
celebration. No annual festival in our Ananda Marga is based on sorrow.
Ananda
Marga philosophy states, "You may participate in all sorts of festivals
which are blissful and free from defect." (Caryacarya - 2, Society
chapter, point 35)
Mahaprayan program is just similar to Islamic dogma
Yet
the "founders" of so-called mahaprayan have described the dogmatic MPD
program as sad and solemn. By their description it is clear that they
just copied the Islamic dogma of annual shraddha or Urs by doing mass
feeding and distributing clothes etc.
Below is an excerpt from some of their emails that displays their way of describing the so-called mahaprayan gathering.
"The
Solemn Observation...With tears in eyes and hearts full of His
memories...The anniversary of Mahaprayan of Shrii Shrii Anandamurtijii
has been solemnly observed today...where His mortal remains were
cremated...Central and global workers first went to His quarters to
garland His Pratikrti and did Gurupuja in that vibrating room. Led by
Ac. Kinshuk Ranjan Sarkar, all came to Baba's memorial ...There was mass
feeding of more than a thousand poor people and about 500 persons were
given new clothes...Exactly at 3.30 pm, the Maha Kiirtan.”
Over the years, this is the way or style that B group PRS has announced the gathering. And still this is going on.
This
same course of events happens in all the dogmatic Urs programs across
India. So MPD is not some glorious thing invented by certain Dadas,
rather the so-called mahaprayan program is just the prevailing dogma
that is common in all of India. Baba Himself condemns such antics.
Thus
from top to bottom - the "solemnity" and sadness to food distribution
etc - the whole so-called mahaprayan agenda is painted in the colour of
the dogmatic Islamic shraddha ceremony. For that reason and more,
mahaprayan is just one dogma.
See what is going on here
Similar
to Islamic dogma, here also followers of dogma are sitting encircling
the holy tomb and paying their homage and observing the annual death
ceremony, like the previous image you saw, the way Islamic followers
were doing. There also you saw, in the centre there was a tomb, and the
followers were paying their homage, gathering all around the tomb. That
Islamic annual death ceremony is called Urs, and here in our AMPS we
call it Mahaprayana. It is just a translation of the same term. Islamic
Mahaprayana is more than several centuries old. But AMPS Mahaprayana is a
recent phenomenon. So it is obvious that our dada Sarvatmananda
borrowed it from Islam. Here below, our dadas are encircling the tomb
and observing the solemn annual death day commemoration which is 100%
against the pre-1990 Caryacara.

Our brothers and sisters do just the opposite of what Baba has ordered
The
worse of the worst is, all-pervading, ever-present Sadguru is treated
as a mortal human being. And the degeneration does not end there. For
mortal human beings, Baba has made the system that there will not be any
annual death ceremony. Sadly here, some of our confused brothers and
sisters, they do just the opposite of what Baba has ordered. Look-- they
are doing annual death ceremony, year after year. Which is doubly
sinful. In consequence, in AMPS things are in chaos and disarray. That
is what happens when you go directly against Bhagavata Dharma. Then you
invite a big catastrophe. And that is what is happening today in AMPS.
