How to remain healthy + 3 more

Baba
How to remain healthy

Note 1: This letter is only for those who have reverence for Sadguru Baba Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji and try to follow His Ananda Marga ideology.

Note 2: Although this series of letters is directed towards the life of a Wt, family margiis may also find value in reading this as many of the points are related with the life of a sadhaka in general. They are universal in application and therefore relevant to all - family margiis and Wts alike. 

Namaskar,

Here are some key tips for Wts - especially new Wts - for how to survive these rocky times in our organisation, and in general.
http://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/


Food & pramitahara

1. Nutritious and Timely Food: Taking proper food can be a big challenge for Wts, depending upon their field and travel schedule. Yet, if any Wt worker starts compromising with their food choices, their standard will degenerate. That means (a) eating snack / junk foods, (b) overeating, (c) indulging in sweets, (d) taking meals irregularly, and the like should be strictly avoided.

2. Travel Food: Always carry some beans (mung) or raw groundnuts (peanuts) to soak and eat. They can be soaked at night for 6 - 8 hours, then drained and rinsed and eaten the next day. Best however is to soak them for at least 36 hrs and throw away the water every 5 - 6 hrs. The reason is that some toxins are in the outer layers of the legume, and in this process those toxins are removed and the food is easy to digest. All in all it is better and healthier this way. This technique can be used with all kinds of beans, pulses, and nuts.
 

Conduct & spiritual practices

Sadguru Baba guides us that conduct is the main thing. And this is especially true in Wt life. Without maintaining proper conduct, true acarya life is just a dream. Because the definition of any acarya is one who teaches by their ideal example. As noted above, the points expressed in this letter are for all sadhakas, especially Wts.

3. Regularity of Asanas: It is essential for our Wts to perform asanas regularly. Some may find it difficult to attend to their asanas while on the train etc. But if a Wt is proactive they can certainly maintain their travel schedule without skipping their asanas. Obviously, one may not be able to do sarvaungasana (shoulderstand) but many other asanas can be practiced on a train etc, especially if one has reserved the uppermost seat. Very simple asanas can be done while in transit. Only one requirement is needed for doing asanas while traveling: determination. Similarly, kaoshikii and tandava can also be maintained as one can do those dances during station stops in train travel and at bus stations when transferring buses.

4. Regularity of Sadhana: In the Wt code of conduct there is a rule indicating the minimum amount of time for sadhana. A maximum time limit is not given. Every Wt worker knows this, and they memorise this in TC. But, sadly, some gradually overlook this rule. If one is regularly doing longer sadhana, that will be very beneficial and in concert with Wt conduct rules. And since it is Guru’s guideline, no one will view it as a waste of time. But if they do, simply remind them about the Wt conduct rules. The key point is that compromising in sadhana is like a cancer. It destroys the entire existence.
 

Health & disease prevention

5. Health Issues: Remember - any disease small or big should not be taken lightly. The presence of or initial signs of any disease in the body will in due course become the cause of a severe illness or even death. Once when one Wt was sick Baba directly told them, “If you remain sick people will be forced to serve you - then what will become of your dedication to serve others.” Here the point is that in order to serve others one has to be healthy. Ignoring any disease or sickness is a very bad and wholly defective approach. It goes against the essence of one’s dedication as a Wt, because if one suffers from an illness, short or long term, for that period they are a liability, as others need to serve them.
http://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

6.Treatment: Every Wt should have a basic understanding of health and fitness. That means they should educate themselves about common diseases, the cause, and how to treat it through diet and asanas - i.e. Yoga Cikitsa (Yogic Treatments and Natural Remedies). Here again the same formula applies: practice and teach others. If one fails to teach others about the basics of human health, then that is also a disservice.


Energy boost

7. Protein: Eating some type of pre-soaked bean (mung) or groundnut (peanut) in the morning provides protein and energy for the day. And there is no problem in doing this while traveling around etc - margii families are always very understanding. And one can always say that this food is their medicine. Other people may find that food is not alluring, as it is very simple. Whereas if one eats a whole bag of junk food, people will think that Wt worker is greedy. But eating raw, soaked beans is looked upon as fine by others, and that will help keep one’s routine timely, and it will provide the body with energy. In short it is pramitahara. And actually Baba would regularly guide Wts to do like this.

Some Indian margiis and wts are deficient in protein as they eat rice and vegetables, but not enough pulses. And this may be the case in many of the African nations as well - along with other so-called impoverished regions. And just in general, maintaining proper food and routine as a Wt is difficult. Because when going to a margii’s house then that Wt worker is dependent upon the family’s routine and schedule. So if any Wt worker is feeling physically weak then they can try ingesting soaked beans and nuts to boost their energy level. Test it and try it out, and if that gives a boost of energy within the next 2 hrs, then one can conclude they were protein deficient.

Conclusion

As sadhakas, our duty is to set an ideal example in all we do, in all realms of life. This is especially true if one is a Wt. The above points will help one lead a balanced and active life to best serve others and be a proper medium for disseminating the teachings of Sadguru Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji.

In Him,
Ananda

Balanced, substantial, & sentient food: for healthy body

Ananda Marga ideology says, "Pramitáhárah: to maintain the physical body, you require physical food, air, water, light. But physical food is not simply for the physical body. It has got its effect on the spiritual body. The cells of your physical body are created from the cells that you receive from your physical food, and your psychic body is also influenced by these cells. So while taking food, you should be very careful. You should always try to take sentient food….You should never take static food. Not only that, but your diet should be balanced. You must not take too much or too little. The food should be substantial. When it is balanced or measured, and, at the same time, substantial, that type of food is called Pramitáhára in Sanskrit. The sixth factor is Pramitáhárah. The sixth requisite factor is balanced and substantial, sentient food." (1)


Pramitáhára & parimitáhára: difference

In Ananda Marga philosophy, Baba states, “Pramitáhára – there is a difference between pramitáhára and parimitáhára. Parimitáhára means “[limited] diet”, and pramitáhára means “balanced diet”. The body should have a balanced diet. [Limitation] alone will not do. Just to [limit] the quantity of food will not do – one will have to take a balanced diet, to make the body and mind strong. Food should be substantial, though moderate in quantity. This is pramitáhára.” (2)

Some Indian dogmatic ascetics do not care about food and just eat a very little quantity of grass, leaves, or boiled vegetables. Here the main aim is to eat as little as possible. But Baba critiques this approach as one has to eat and balanced and nutritious diet - and at the same time eat a moderate amount of food. The stomach should never be more than 50% full of food, as 25% should be reserved for water and 25% for air.

Radha & Krishna: nonsense photos

  Ananda Marga ideology states, “When a devotee moves towards Parama Puruśa with intense yearning for Him, it is called rádhábháva. When a devotee finally reaches Parama Puruśa by virtue of this intense rádhábháva it is called the union between Rádhá and Krśńá in the Vaeshńava scriptures.”
  “Who is Krśńa? Here Krśńa is none other than Parama Puruśa. You might have seen some pictures depicting Rádhá and Krśńa. These all are false. Krśńa and Rádha are subtle spiritual concepts. A devotee will have to move towards Puruśottama, the Supreme Nucleus, with the help of rádhiká shakti or hládinii shakti. There is no path of Supreme Welfare other than rádhiká shakti.” (1)

Mat for sadhana

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Since the beginning of yoga practice, yogis have sat on various kinds of materials which are by nature non-conductors of heat and electricity. The yogis of olden times mostly sat on animal skins, and in many cases they also used animal skins as their outer garments. Later, for lack of animal skins, people started using blankets as ásanas [meditation seats].” (1)

How to handle emotional people

Baba
How to handle emotional people

Namaskar,

There are many types of people in this world and there are some people who become very emotional and say or do irrational things at certain times. What should  we do during such circumstances?
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Domination of lower propensities- Examples

There are 1,000 propensities (vrittis) in human beings. Depending on the environment one is in, one or more specific lower propensities may be aroused. Here are a few examples:

Example - 1: A person is not feeling hungry and does not feel like eating. But when they go to a restaurant, the smell of food is so good that they are tempted to eat. The lower propensities become dominant and that person succumbs to the temptation of food at the restaurant. And even though they were not hungry, they ended up eating food of a static (ta’masika) nature.

Example - 2: The advertising industry is very prominent in many materialistic spheres. There are various types of advertisements in a variety of outlets such as books, magazines, television, social media, the internet, and on the side of roadways. Advertisements are very psychological in nature. The goal of the advertisement is to activate the lower propensities and attract people towards their products. Advertisers arouse the lower vrittis of the general population by displaying attractive images or videos.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Example - 3: Smoking cigarettes is dangerous; everyone is aware of this. However, cigarette manufacturers use various types of attractive advertising techniques to activate the lower propensities in people. By seeing such advertisements, people get attracted because their lower propensities become activated, and they end up smoking.

What we see in these three examples is that, depending on the environment one is in, those lower propensities can become activated. Human psychology is influenced by the environment one is in whereby the lower propensities are aroused and become dominant.

Not utilizing mind in adverse situations

When a person is affected by a lower propensity, then one does not utilize the mind properly — one does not think rationally. In general circumstances, one always utilizes the mind to decide what to do, and what not to do. But when any lower propensity gets aroused, then the connection with the mind is lost, and the propensities dominate one’s activities. When one becomes absorbed in a lower propensity, one does not utilize the mind properly.

Example: In their younger age, people get infatuated with the opposite gender. When infatuated one does not utilize the mind properly, such as not listening to parents, neglecting studies, running away from home, and even going to another city to be together. Yet, after a few days of experiencing infatuation versus reality, one realizes that one did not use their mind properly, and did not make a good decision by not listening to others and running away from home. Eventually, one returns home, knowing one's mistake.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Emotional people lose connection with rationality

When one becomes emotional, a similar phenomenon happens. One loses connection with the mind. The best thing one can do at that time is to leave the company of the emotional person. Talking to the person at that time will not result in anything, because their mind  is not working. The wise person will leave the place when encountering emotional people — this is the first step. With the passage of time,  that emotional person will understand that whilst emotional,  they were saying things which were not appropriate, and thus they will feel remorse. A person will usually apologize for the many things that s/he said in their emotional state.

Advice for emotional person

The advice for an emotional person is to control one’s emotions, and utilize the mind properly, so that such instances of first becoming angry, and then apologizing with the passage of time, will not occur. By being emotional, one is overwhelmed. One should not make any important decisions when in an emotional state. Even one should not speak much when one feels emotional. After some time, the lower propensities will be subdued, and then one can interact with others and also make decisions.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

When under the influence of various circumstances, one can become angry and uncontrollable. Sometimes one quarrels, and even uses guns or other devices which turns the situation to violence. Many people in jail acted on their emotions and turned to violence, used weapons, hurt others, and now must repent for the rest of their lives for that emotional outburst that carried such grave consequences.

Example of two people in emotional situation

Suppose there are two persons: A and B. Person A is becoming emotional, and person B is accompanying person A. When person B observes that person A is becoming emotional, then the best action person B can do is to leave the place. There is no point in person B trying to convince or lecture person A at that time. After some time, person A will calm down and realize his/her mistake, or person B can try to convince person A at a later point in time.

What should person A, who does not have control over his/her emotions, do in such situations? The person should learn how to control the mind irrespective of the nature of various circumstances. That is why it is recommended for one to maintain mental balance even in adverse conditions, i.e., yudhi-sthir (firm even in battle).
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Ananda Marga ideology states, “Hence yudhi + sthira (yudhi means “in war”). One who keeps oneself sthira [unaffected, unassailed] at the time of battle, who keeps one's balance in battle, who is perfectly poised for upward motion during spiritual practice, and never loses one’s balance at the peak of the fighting, is yudhi + sthira = Yudhiśt́hira.” (1)

What to do in adverse situations

In India, during the emergency, a number of Anada Margiis went to jail. Upon their return, Baba gave a discourse mentioning how it was difficult to be in jail during the emergency, but that one’s tolerance level increased. By being in adverse conditions, and by enduring difficult times, one’s tolerance level increases.

Suppose one is being tortured, even though having done nothing wrong. At that point in time, one should not take any drastic step quickly. One should increase one’s tolerance level, keep thinking what the appropriate plan of action should be and when the appropriate time comes, one will provide an appropriate response to the oppressor. First tolerance, and then with deep thinking one will take appropriate action. During the tolerance phase, one gets enough time to ponder the next step.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Emotional levels in females & males

It is well-known that females are more emotional than males and this is one reason that they are more capable of raising children than males. Due to their emotionality, women tend to cry in certain situations. Some men might feel uncomfortable when they witness a woman crying but understanding is the key in this situation. If a husband becomes angry when he sees his wife crying then that reaction might inflame the situation and lead to arguments and worse. But if a husband doesn’t react to his wife’s crying and remains calm, then after some time, his wife will be able to control her emotions and they can have an amiable discussion.  

Conclusion

Human beings have a developed mind, and that is what distinguishes them from other animate beings. Even having the intellectual power to distinguish between good and bad and to  make rational decisions on a course of action, if one doesn’t utilize one’s mind, then one is not utilizing all the available faculties of a human being. One of the dangerous aspects is not to utilize the mind when needed during adverse situations.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

In conclusion,  one should be careful while dealing with emotional people. One should leave the place, and deal with the situation later. When a friend is under the influence of alcohol, there is no point in talking to the friend at that time. The person would not understand any advice when under the influence of alcohol. The best option is to go away from that friend, and when the friend becomes normal, then try to talk with him.

Ananda Marga ideology states, “When the mind moves along a particular track or follows a particular discipline in a methodical way, this is called “devotion” or bhakti; but when it does not follow a particular method, when it moves haphazardly, swept away by whim, it is called “emotion”. This is the fundamental difference between devotion and emotion.” (2)

In Him,
Nira’ka’ra

Veil: tool of exploitation

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Purdah” means not only a curtain on the window or over the door, it means a piece of cloth covering the head and face of a woman (i.e., a veil); it means that a woman must not move freely outside the house; it also means keeping the women covered in burkas. The purdah was not in use among the ancient Aryans. It was originally a Semitic concept. Indian women did not use the purdah before the Pathan rule. The Sanskrit word avaguńt́hana [“veil”] is not an ancient word. (The Hindustani word ghunghat́ [“veil”] was used in the olden days in the sense of covering.) In those parts of India where the Pathans were not firmly established, for instance in south India and Maharastra, the veil was not introduced at all; to this day there is no such custom. Married women in ancient Maharastra never used to veil themselves – it was optional. Widows did not need to use a veil if they chose not to. Even where the Pathans were firmly established, the aborigines living in the hills and forests did not use the purdah. Today as well there is no custom of veiling oneself among the tribal women of Bengal and north India. Although the Santhals of Bengal are now totally identified with the Bengali mainstream, Santhal women do not use veils to this day.” (1)

Secret for doing selfless service

Ananda Marga ideology states, “When you perform acts with the ideation that the person served is Náráyańa, there is no possibility of arrogance or the desire for fame growing in your mind. Then you will realize that through the grace of Náráyańa you have been given the opportunity of serving Náráyańa. Our hands and feet are not ours, they are His, and by serving Himself with those hands and feet, He sports with Himself. Such an action is an action without attachment. Only in this way can one attain salvation from the bondage of Karma. You must feel that the person served is Brahma. The person served is a finite manifestation of Him. Never, even by mistake, take the object as a human being.” (1)

According to the teachings of Ananda Marga philosophy, for every action there is a reaction. Good deeds yield positive reactions, and bad deeds yield adverse reactions. When serving an infirm person, you should not think that, “This person has done something wrong, and that is why I am serving them.” If one thinks like this then their entire attempt at service is for naught as there is no ideation of Narayana. One should think that, “Narayan is before me in the form of a sick person; He is playing His liila and I have been blessed with the opportunity to serve Him.” This is the proper approach.

Mahaprayan of Avtk Ananda Vidya Ac, age 88, in HK

Baba

Mahaprayan of Avtk Ananda Vidya Ac, age 88, in HK 

Namaskar,

It is with much sadness that we share the news of the mahaprayan of Avadhutika Ananda Vidya Acarya who was 88 years of age. Respected Didi's mahaprayan occurred in Hong Kong sector in a hospital in Taichung, Taiwan.  

May we all take solace in the fact that Baba will lovingly bestow His infinite grace.

in Him,
Harideva

Note: Here is an alert for those cremating a dead body in India or Indian managed cremation homes around the world. Their custom is to put the fire in the mouth of the deceased to initiate the burning of the body. This is prohibited in AM as it is uncivilised. So watch out; do not allow this. If you are not careful, they will end up cremating the body in this manner. Make them aware ahead of time. 

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, "The practice of putting fire into the mouth of the dead body is repulsive, it should not be encouraged." (Caryacarya - 1, Disposal of the Dead Body)


~ In-depth study ~

We have seen that when somebody dies then in offering their condolences people say now Mr So-and-so is sitting on Baba's lap. On other occasions when telling a Baba story people also say, "Such and such person sat on Baba's lap." But these days the trend is that "sitting on Baba's lap" is used more in connection with death. And that causes some confusion in the minds of readers. To unknot the situation please read below. 

Dogma: if "on Baba's lap" only used for death

Here are quoted lines from recently posted emails on various forums, wherein the writer uses the phrase - "in Baba's lap" - with the occasion of death:

- "May Parama Purusa Baba accept her in HIS divine lap"

- "We pray to Baba - please give him shelter in his lap... "

- "May his soul rest in the lap of our beloved BABA"

- "Now she is taking rest in Baba's Lap."

- "May Baba accept him in HIS divine lap....."

- "May he rest in HIS loving lap of eternity."

- "We are sure that Baba has taken him in His loving lap."

- "May his soul rest in Baba's lap forever."

- "Let her rest peacefully in Baba's Lap - which she always desired."

- "now he is in beloved Baba's lap"

- "May his soul get peaceful place in His lap"

- "He is now in Bábá's loving lap"

- "May Baba bless him with a seat in His lap."

- "May BABA accept him in HIS divine lap!"

- "May Baba take him in his eternal loving lap."

- "May his soul rest in peace taking shelter in Baba's lap."

- "Please keep him on Your lap forever."

- "We all collectively pray to Baba to take him on Baba's divine lap forever.”

All of the above lines are commonly written in eulogizing the deceased. These days mostly it is used in a eulogy and rarely used to recount one's intimate spiritual experiences - unfortunately. By this way, the phrase "in Baba's lap" is being misused, and step by step the real meaning is being forgotten as now people more commonly use the phrase to eulogize those who have died, and much less so to express their inner feelings of bhakti. Unfortunately, the meaning and inner spirit of the phrase is getting lost.


Baba story: "sitting on Baba's lap"

Some time ago after dharmacakra, a senior margii was recounting his experiences of having dharma samiiksa with Baba. He said, "After being lovingly scolded by Baba for my wrongdoings, then He called me close and placed me on His lap - I remained there for some time soaking up His love - and He blessed me."

We all enjoyed hearing about his personal account with Baba during dharma samiiksa. When he finished telling his factual and historical event, there was a call for questions. Various people posed their queries. Towards the end, one new margii raised his hand and asked, "How did Baba bring you back to life?"

Everyone stared at the new margii in amazement. There was a look of astonishment all around - people were really shocked to hear him say this. The new sadhaka sensed that something was wrong, and he said very matter-of-factly, "I thought that sitting on Baba's Lap means that he (the margii) died - that is why I asked that question."

This was quite eye-opening for those of us in the room: Through our language and expression we had unknowingly taught someone to think that being on Baba's lap is the equivalent of death. Because it seems that nowadays people only use the phrase "Baba's lap" when a person has died, such as "Let him rest peacefully in Baba's lap", as if in order to sit on Baba’s lap one has to die. But that is false. Sincere sadhakas regularly sit on Baba’s lap in their meditation. It is His grace. It is just like how a child need not die in order to sit on his father’s lap.

The idea is that this phrase - Baba's lap - has been linked with death due to extreme overuse. So for some time if sadhakas use this phrase exclusively for spiritual purposes, that will be best. The phrase, "sitting on Baba's lap", should not meet a similar fate. It should not lose its pure spiritual quality and just refer to one's death. That will be very negative.

Baba would bless bhaktas and place them on His lap

There are tens of thousands of recorded stories by sadhakas where they use the phrase, "on Baba's lap", when describing their experiences of being with Baba: He used to bless them and bring them on His lap. People should understand the deeply mystical value of this expression, and not just think that Baba's lap means death, i.e. that you can only sit on His lap at the time of death. Still today there are thousands of margiis walking this earth who sat in Baba's lap. And not only that, there are countless more sadhakas who were blessed by Baba in dreams and sadhana wherein they sat in His lap. And still today this deeply intimate experience is attainable by sadhakas, by His grace.

There are so many ways an aspirant can reach unto Baba's lap including in sadhana. That is the main idea that should be preserved. Sadhana is a spiritual practice and one can sit on Baba's lap in sadhana. We should make it cent-per-cent clear to one and all that the phrase, "sitting on Baba's lap", does not mean death.

"Mahaprayan" means death of mortals - confirm for yourself
from the Samsad Bengali-English Dictionary

Mahaprayan (Death): Many are aware that mahaprayan (death) is the common term used in India and especially in our Bengal to describe the death of any human being, even ordinary people. In that way, the obituary columns of the newspapers of Bengal regularly cite the mahaprayan (death) of various persons of society who died or passed away.

Some may get confused and wrongly think that the word 'mahaprayan' (death) is one extraordinarily grand term of bhakti to be used in association with Parama Purusa. But that is not at all the case. Rather to do so is only to undermine the eternal presence of Parama Purusa. That is why no bhaktas ever use the word 'mahaprayan' in reference to Lord Shiva or Lord Krsna. Because Lord Shiva and Lord Krsna exist eternally. Then there is no question of Their mahaprayan (death).

Baba is Parama Purusa so He is eternal and there is no question of His mahaprayan.

Here it should be known that the convention of an annual death day ceremony (i.e. shraddhainjali or mahaprayan) is a foundation of the Islamic tradition. Muslims are well known for this, and their approach of an annual death day ceremony was adopted by the leader of a particular group in AMPS. So no one should think that mahaprayan is some type of sacred event. It is done on the death day anniversary of Muslims.

And for those who need still more technical proof then all this can be clarified quite readily by referencing the dictionary. Specifically in the Samsad Bengali-English dictionary 3rd edition on page 848. By checking there, it will be confirmed that the word 'mahaprayan' means death. Which is why it is used to refer to the passing away of even common citizens. And that is the case in this letter also. The term mahaprayan means death, and this is the ideal term for this purpose.

Mahaprayan is only for humans not for Sadguru

Here it should be qualified that there is both a real mahaprayan and fake mahaprayan. Real mahaprayan marks the death of any ordinary human being, just like the aforesaid news. This is the proper use of the term: To note a person's departure from this earth. That is the meaning of the mahaprayan term and that is the standard way the term is used in Indian languages.

Then there is the fake, or so-called, or dogmatic mahaprayan. That is when certain vested interests try to apply the mahaprayan term to Parama Purusa. This is grossly inappropriate because when Parama Purusa Sadguru Baba is that Divine Entity who is beginningless and endless and resides always in our heart, then it is entirely wrong to proclaim that He is gone.

That is why rational margiis are protesting; because the Oct 21st program is so-called mahaprayan. So-called means that something is fake. Parama Purusa is eternal, thus for some vested interests to declare "mahaprayan of Parama Purusa" is nothing but so-called mahaprayan.

Mahaprayan only really happens in the case of human beings, not Parama Purusa. Those doing mahaprayan for Sadguru are hypocrites. On the one side in meditation they ask His grace thinking that He is ever-present, and on the other side they think that Baba has passed away. That is their hypocrisy.
