Moral duty of all to protect this

Namaskar, 

As Ananda Margiis, we have a great and dharmic duty in life to serve Gurudeva Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji by preserving and safeguarding His original words. The teachings of the first and second Mahasambhutis have unfortunately been long lost. In the name of those holy preachings, only dogma remains. We should not allow the divine words of the third Mahasambhuti to go to waste in that same manner. In order to protect Baba's words, the AM Pure books have been made.

How various groups taint AM books - 1
 
Here’s how Baba’s Hindi discourses were ruined. When Baba gave discourses in Hindi - such as in Patna, Mokama, Gaya, Medini Nagar, Ara, Hazaribagh, Chaibasa, Ranchi, Tatanagar, Varanasi, Ghazipur, Allahabad, Kanpur, Lucknow, Etah, Agra, Meerut, Delhi, Hisar, Ludhiana, Chandigarh, Kathua, Nahan, Thanedhar, Kullu, Jammu, Srinagar, Jaipur, Udaipur, Kota, Gwalior, Raipur, Bhopal, Sambalpur, Ahmedabad, Bhavnagar, Gandhidham, Nagpur, Mumbai, Bettiah, Gaddopur, Deoghar, Gorakhpur, Muzaffarpur, Hajipur, Bhagalpur, Saharsa, Supaul, Darbhanga, Katihar, Purnia, Kishanganj, Jamalpur, Anand Nagar etc  - then those Hindi discourses were not published by transcribing the cassettes. Rather, to make a Hindi book from Baba's Hindi discourses, the following steps were taken:

a) Baba's Hindi discourses were translated into Bengali. 
b) Then that Bengali translation was retranslated back into Hindi. The outcome was that this retranslated Hindi version no longer matched what Baba actually spoke. This type of distortion is called the "Bengalisation of Hindi discourses". 
c) Then that Bengalised Hindi translation was published in the form of a Hindi book. 
d) So the fact is that the Hindi books were not made directly from Baba's Hindi discourses. 
 
e) To make matters worse, in the Hindi book of original Hindi discourses that were given by Baba in Hindi, a false statement was written on the publisher's page – “Translated from the original Bengali”. Yet the fact is that these are original Hindi discourses.
f) By this approach, most of the Hindi books of the organization have been ruined. 
g) Whenever Baba gave discourses in the Hindi language, most of the Hindi books were not made directly by transcribing the cassettes. Instead, they went through the above described process of Bangalisation. This type of gross and blatant injustice has been done to Baba's Hindi and English discourses.

How various groups taint AM books - 2

So they made the rule that if Baba has given the discourse in Hindi or English then that discourse cannot be directly printed in the Hindi or English book / edition. But if Baba has given the discourse in Bengali then those discourses will directly be printed “as-is” in the Bengali book.

As documented, Baba delivered the majority of His discourses in Hindi. And the ruination of those Hindi discourses had a negative, cascading effect. Because those tainted Hindi discourses were used as the basis to make the English version of those discourses. So that means all those English discourses / books were ruined as well. 

Bear in mind that this process of Bangalisation was also done when Baba gave a discourse in English. So when Baba spoke in English most of the time that discourse was directly translated into Bengali, which was then branded as the master version. Then they retranslated that so-called master Bengali version back into English. And that retranslated English version is what was printed in the English books. So what Baba originally spoke in English is not what is printed in the English editions.
 

How various groups taint AM books - 3

From the very beginning, Baba gave the order that the sole purpose of making audio recordings of His discourses was to publish the AMPS books in their pure form. Unfortunately, most of the AMPS Hindi books are incorrect because they were not made by transcribing Baba's audio recordings. Even today, corrupt / distorted books are openly sold at large book stalls at DMS and seminars. Remember, only the Kolkata group produced corrupt / distorted books, and they still do. Then other groups reprint those corrupt books which Tiljala made. 

Thereafter, the other groups made two fundamental, deceptive changes to those corrupt books: (1) They removed the phrase “Translated from the original Bengali”; and, (2) they reprinted those same corrupt books with the name of their own group on the publisher’s page. 

Finally, they sold those tainted books to margiis claiming they made authentic books, all the while keeping those sadhakas in the dark that it is the same corrupt book which Tiljala Publications made. If you compare the books of H group and the books of B group you will not find any differences in the Ananda Vacanamrtam, Subhasita Samgraha, and Prout in a Nutshell series etc. They are essentially identical.

Attempt to cover up misdeed of making tainted books

Some think their own regional language to be supreme and have thus treated Sadguru Baba's discourses that were delivered in other languages in a step-motherly manner. To cover up their sins, such people openly spread false, fabricated stories in Baba's name, claiming:
(1) Baba favoured the Bengali language in comparison to other languages;
(2) Baba's orders are that Hindi discourses cannot be directly printed as Hindi books, but will first undergo Bengalization.

By spreading such falsehoods, they mislead margiis into believing that only Bengali discourses can be directly printed into Bengali books. Whereas, Baba's Hindi discourses cannot be directly printed in Hindi books. First, Baba's Hindi discourses have to be Bengaliized, i.e. the Hindi discourses will be translated into Bengali. Then that Bengali translation will be retranslated back into Hindi. Then that Hindi translation will be printed as a Hindi book. In essence, Baba’s original words spoken in Hindi cannot be directly published in Hindi books. This type of falsehood they are reciting over and over again. To mislead margiis, a WT, who is an outspoken critic of Pure books of AM, wrote an imaginary, false tale to this effect in his own book. Margiis should beware.

Why Pure books have been made

The AM Pure books stand as an important, archival piece as they are an exact transcription of Sadguru Baba discourses, perfectly transcribed in the very language in which He spoke. Thus, the AM Pure books are a veritable historical-cum-ideological record for future generations, as well as a way for present-day bhaktas to delve deeper into Guru’s teachings.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

The books printed by the various groups were not properly made; most of them have been distorted. If you have any Hindi or English audio discourses you can confirm this fact for yourself. Indeed, injustices have been done to the original Hindi and English discourses. This is a serious issue with devastating consequences, and it was the impetus for the printing of the Pure books. These Pure books are entirely different as they are an exact transcription of what Baba actually spoke. That is why the Pure books have been made.

How AM teachings saved during Emergency

One of the most effective ways to preserve any book or scripture is to disseminate it widely amongst those who will truly treasure and value it. In terms of Ananda Marga scripture, the best tactic then is to spread those books to Ananda Margiis the world over. That is how that scripture will endure over time. Verily, within our very own AMPS organisation, there is great precedent for this. During Emergency, when the nefarious Indira Gandhi regime unleashed its venom in an attempt to wipe out our Ananda Marga, the ideological and devotional jewels of Ananda Marga were safeguarded by brave bhaktas scattered across Delhi sector and beyond. Those dedicated and courageous sadhakas cherished and held onto those cassettes, books, pamphlets, and publications with their very lives. And by this way, Guru’s treasures were saved and preserved. They remained intact. 

Pure books means made directly from Baba audio

Today, that same opportunity knocks on our door. Here again we may stand up and meet the challenge to preserve Guru’s teachings in the form of AM Pure Books. These books are wholly unique. They are not translations but actual transcriptions of Sadguru Baba’s original discourses. Thus each publication may contain Hindi, English, Bengali, and numerous other languages like Maithili, Magahi, Bhojpuri, Chhattisgarhi etc -- whatever Baba spoke on that occasion. They are a perfect record of what Baba actually said.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Naturally, some may tend towards acquiring those books which they themselves can read. Bangla-speakers might collect books with more Bangla discourses. Hindi-speakers will buy the books with more Hindi discourses. And those more familiar with English will aim to collect those books with more English discourses. However, such a limited approach loses sight of the greater mission. 

 
We should not allow Baba's teachings to vanish forever

Here we should not aim to merely collect these volumes for ourselves, but verily for the preservation of Sadguru Baba’s entire body of teachings. That means regardless of our own language background or linguistic limitations, we should carry the flag and take on the responsibility to safeguard all of the original transcriptions of Baba’s holy discourses, regardless of the language. So whether we are only able to read Hindi, or Bengali, or English, or Magahi, or Angika, or Bhojpurii etc, we should see the bigger picture and safeguard them all in our own private collections. By that way, the complete set of Sadguru Baba’s holy discourses will remain intact and can be handed down to the forthcoming generations of sadhakas. The history of this earth has borne witness to the distortion, destruction, and desecration of countless scriptures, including the divine teachings of Lord Shiva and Lord Krsna. So many invaluable tenets have been lost. We should not allow Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji’s dharmic preachings and teachings to meet a similar fate.

 
Your old book collection is tainted

Some margiis may be thinking that, “What is the need to have another collection of books. I already have Baba's teachings in book form that was printed by the various Publications groups.” Here is the reply to those thinking in this way.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Sadly, up till now, most of the books published in Sadguru Baba’s name are not Baba’s original words, but the phrasing and terminology of the publishers. That means whatever is printed in the books is not what Baba actually spoke. Only AM Pure books are Baba’s original words. The moment you pick up and read one of the AM Pure books, you will immediately realize you have never read a text like this, i.e. one that is an exact transcription of Baba’s original discourse.

Why all should keep complete set of Pure books

So all sadhakas should embrace the opportunity and seize the moment to keep a complete set of AM Pure books. Indeed, if we do not purchase and preserve the accurate printed version of Baba’s original discourses then who will. Every ardent Ananda Margii should be keen to have a full set of AM Pure books. That means irrespective of one’s language background, every sadhaka should keep a copy of every AM Pure book. That is the best way to ensure the preservation of Sadguru Baba’s original words. And, in due course, accurate translations will be made so all have easy access to those teachings. In contrast, if the original transcriptions of Baba’s divine discourses are not properly disseminated or maintained, that will be a veritable sin and a black stain on us all. 

Conclusion

The Pure books project not only operates on a “no-profit, no-loss” basis, but it is subsidized as well. So this is not some type of mundane sales pitch but a direct appeal to your inherent duty as a bhakta of Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji to acquire and safeguard a copy of every AM Pure book - irrespective of language - to ensure the lasting presence and pointed impact of Baba’s eternal teachings on this earth and beyond. Thus the current printed volumes should be protected and preserved with our very lives. This debt we owe to Sadguru Baba and the future humanity.

Condition of mind after death

Ananda Marga ideology states, “The Christian and Muslim ideas of heaven and hell and also svarga in Hindu Karmakandii Jaemini Partná, were derived from the fact that the samskáras which determine the requitals of actions exist in this loka. In reality no kośa will remain after death. The samskáras remains as the object of the átman. Thus the ideas of heaven and hell of the Hindu, Christian and Muslim mythologies are completely false, because after death there remains no mind at all to experience heaven or hell." (1)

The mind is incapable of doing anything without the brain. And after death there is no brain, so the bodiless mind remains dormant. It cannot do or experience anything: no pain, no pleasure, nothing. The whole notion of one enjoying the fruits of heaven or the tortures of hell after death is bogus.

It is a complete myth that people go to heaven or hell. After death, the mind is dormant. And that is what is expressed in the above quote. Here we should understand that pain and pleasure are experienced in this world, not after death. So-called heaven and so-called hell are here in this world.

What to pursue in life

Ananda Marga philosophy says, "Numerous rich and beautiful cities of the historic past are now buried under the earth. Many splendid palaces and mansions, many churches, temples, mosques and synagogues, and many pyramids have been reduced to rubble. With the constant change in the flow of time, how many major changes have occurred in the universe? Similarly, with the change in time and space, people also change. A small two year old child becomes a smart and active twenty-five year old youth. And the same energetic youth becomes an infirm, inactive old person in due course. Thus, nothing in this universe is permanent. Many gigantic animals of the past have become totally extinct from the surface of the earth. Royal pomp and opulence, the pride of power, the vast knowledge of mighty scholars have become things of the past, thrown into the dustbin of history. Many objects emerged in the past, remained on earth for a short time, and then disappeared according to the inexorable law of nature."
    
"The only eternal truth is Parama Purus'a. He is Ana'di, beginningless, endless, all-pervasive; an entity beyond the scope of time, place and person. He is the only eternal, undecaying, imperishable, immutable entity. He is the Supreme Source from which the inanimate, plant and animal worlds have emerged. He is the starting point and the culminating point of everything. Hence, wise people should utilise their physical, psychic and spiritual power to realise that supreme omnitelepathic entity, to become one with Him." (1)

Note: Please read Baba's above teaching again carefully. It explains everything.

Baba, siempre presente, siempre ayuda + PS #0361 (español)

Baba

Baba, siempre presente, siempre ayuda

Namaskar,

Uno de los aspectos más singulares y especiales del camino tántrico de Ananda Marga es que Baba siempre nos ayuda personalmente. Él interviene directamente en todo lo que hacemos, nos protege en cada situación y circunstancia, y derrama eternamente Su gracia cósmica en nuestra sadhana. No necesitamos depender de ninguna otra entidad, nunca. Baba siempre está ahí para nosotros, el 100% del tiempo.

https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

La guía especial de Baba

Y, de hecho, en este discurso original en hindi del 5 de marzo de 1969, Baba deja la situación perfectamente clara. He aquí un resumen de un aspecto clave del hindi que figura a continuación, en el que Baba dice que yo (Baba) siempre os ayudaré directamente, no indirectamente a través de falsos gurús. Por favor, consultad la cita original en hindi de Ananda Vacanamrtam - 41 (Puro), capítulo 3:

"यह शुभ्र ज्योति बहुत ही शुभ्र, देखने में बहुत ही अच्छी, बहुत ही सुन्दर । साधना करो, आसानी से देख लोगे तुम लोग । वैयष्टिक जीवन में इन आँखों से देखोगे । कोई अद्भुत, कोई अलौकिक बात नहीं है । थोड़ी-सी ही चेष्टा से ही पा जाओगे । मानव-जीवन धन्य हो जाएगा अगर उस ज्योति को अपनी आँखों से देख लिए । और अवश्य देख सकोगे, तुम लोग साधक हो । ठीक से साधना करो । और मैं help कर दूँगा, कोई बात नहीं है ।([1])([2]) जब मनुष्य के शरीर में आ गए हो, साधना-मार्ग में आ गए हो, तो काम पूरा करके तब न जाना है ! यही बात है । हो जाएगा सब ।

 ओम् सुनने में दिक्कत हुई तो मैं सुना दूँगा :- और ठीक वैसा ही यह ‘ओम्’ sound, यह supreme sound, शब्दब्रह्म, यह भी आसानी से तुम लोग सुन लोगे । और अगर साधना से तुम लोगों को सुनने में दिक्कत हुई तो मैं सुना दूँगा ।

तो, ज्योतिर्ब्रह्म, शब्दब्रह्म, यह सब तुम लोग देखोगे, सीखोगे, पाओगे, अनुभव करोगे अपने जीवन में तब न ? मरने के बाद, ‘नरक’ में जाकर, ‘स्वर्ग’ में जाकर क्या देखोगे, क्या सुनोगे, उस सम्बन्ध में मैं कुछ नहीं कहूँगा । इसी जीवन में पूरी अनुभूति हुई, तब न ? तो ‘नरक’,‘स्वर्ग’ के इन्तज़ार में क्यों रहोगे ? यहीं सब कुछ अनुभव करोगे । और इसी दुनिया को ‘स्वर्ग’ बना लोगे ।" [AV-41 (Puro), capitulo 3, 5 de marzo de 1969]

Por la enseñanza en hindi anterior de Ananda Vacanamrtam - 41 (Puro), capítulo 3, queda muy claro que Sadguru Baba siempre nos guía y nos ayuda directamente en todas las situaciones, y que nunca debemos buscar ni confiar en aquellos que se autodenominan erróneamente "gurús". Y, en verdad, la semilla y el espíritu de esta enseñanza resuenan con veracidad en todo el vasto cuerpo de las escrituras de AM.

https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Problema en el libro impreso de AM

Desafortunadamente, hay una publicación de AM, "Ananda Marga Philosophy in a Nutshell - 4", capítulo 3, que contradice directamente la enseñanza anterior de Baba. En particular, presten atención a la parte resaltada en amarillo al final.El siguiente es el resumen en español de un párrafo de la edición en inglés de 'Ananda Marga Philosophy in a Nutshell - 4', capítulo 3

En el mundo espiritual también, el sádhaka, mientras medita sobre el Supremo, pasará sin duda por las diferentes etapas de la realización sin ser necesariamente consciente de ello. Cuando el misericordioso Táraka Brahma viene físicamente a la Tierra en forma de Sadguru, ayuda a los sádhakas merecedores a alcanzar este tipo de samádhi. Incluso cuando está físicamente ausente en este mundo, ayuda a las personas merecedoras a alcanzar este samádhi a través de otros gurús. (resumen en español)

En el pasaje anterior, se ha dado a entender erróneamente que cuando Sadguru Baba no está físicamente presente, debemos confiar en otros pseudogurús. Esto es una violación directa de la ideología de Ananda Marga y viola la esencia del tantra, según la cual el eterno Taraka Brahma es el Gurú. Como Ananda Margis, nunca necesitamos confiar en otros gurús de tercer grado para nada. Sadguru Baba está siempre presente y nos guía directa y personalmente en todo momento.

https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Qué salió mal

La línea resaltada en amarillo de Ananda Marga Philosophy in a Nutshell - 4 (capítulo 3) no es una enseñanza de Baba. Ese discurso fue pronunciado el 20 de abril de 1969 en el jagrti de Ranchi y lo que se imprimió en el libro procede en realidad del cuaderno de notas de Dada Vijayananda. Por lo tanto, no es una cita directa de Baba.

Conclusión

Como Ananda Margis, debemos estar completamente seguros de que cada página de nuestros libros de AM es correcta y está en consonancia con las enseñanzas de Baba. En verdad, nuestro principal deber es mantener intactas las escrituras de AM y asegurarnos de que cada libro refleje y represente estrictamente lo que Sadguru Baba dijo realmente.

Secreto interno del misticismo

En un resumen en español de Ananda Vacanamrtam - 14, "Mysticism and Yoga", la ideología Ananda Marga afirma: Cuando el sentido estético, basado en la sutil ciencia estética, alcanza un determinado nivel, se denomina misticismo. Y cuando este misticismo alcanza la cima de la gloria humana, o la excelencia de la gloria humana, se denomina espiritualidad. ¿Qué es el misticismo? El misticismo es el esfuerzo incesante por descubrir el vínculo entre lo finito y lo infinito. Es un esfuerzo incesante por descubrir el vínculo entre el yo y el Superyo, khud y Khudá. Esto es el misticismo. (resumen en español)

De hecho, Baba ha definido el misticismo de esta manera en numerosos discursos. Como Ananda Margiis, debemos comprender claramente su significado.

(a) En primer lugar, todos y cada uno de los Ananda Margiis que han establecido una relación y un sentimiento de cercanía con Baba han avanzado más allá de esa etapa introductoria conocida como misticismo.

(b) Por lo tanto, el misticismo es una etapa inicial muy básica del viaje espiritual de una persona, en la que el aspirante se siente desconectado y solo porque aún no ha establecido una conexión con Parama Purusa.

(c) Todos aquellos músicos, buscadores de la nueva era y pseudoespiritualistas que tratan de encontrar la belleza y la grandeza de la Entidad Suprema a través del esplendor de las montañas escarpadas, los vastos océanos, otras maravillas naturales y/o a través de la música, el arte, la danza o el teatro se encuentran en los márgenes del misticismo.

(d) Cualquier sadhaka que se haya embarcado sinceramente en el camino espiritual y haya desarrollado un bhava (relación ideacional) con Parama Purusa ha sido verdaderamente bendecido y ha superado hace tiempo esa etapa del misticismo.

Madre e hijo a la hora de dormir

Nota: Esta composición es una canción de cuna sobre el shiuli (parijat), o jazmín de floración nocturna.

"Ráter beláy sabái ghúmáy, shiuli keno jáge..." (Prabhat Samgiita #0361)

Significado:

O' madre, todo el mundo duerme por la noche, así que tienes que decirme ¿por qué el shiuli permanece despierto toda la noche? Todas las demás flores están despiertas durante el día y duermen por la noche. Durante el día, esparcen su aromática fragancia y entonan dulces canciones, porque a las flores les gusta el día tanto como a mí. Así que las conozco a todas muy bien.

Por la noche, todos duermen, incluidos los pájaros myna, los cachorros y también las abejas melíferas, etc. Pero el shiuli sonríe y dice: "¡Mira, todavía estoy despierto!". Oh' madre, dime, ¿por amor a quién permanece despierto el shiuli por la noche?

Escucha, mi querida niña, al shiuli le gusta la noche, por eso permanece despierto durante la oscuridad de la noche. Se siente tímido a la luz del día, así que por la mañana se deja caer en el suelo y se queda tumbado. Al final de la noche, durante el amanecer, el shiuli se cae. Y, en ese momento, mi querida niña, tu sueño se desvanecerá y te levantarás...

Understanding sexual indiscretions + 2 more

Baba

Understanding sexual indiscretions

Namaskar, 

In the plant kingdom, the duty of the male plant is to spread its pollen to a maximum number of females. And if the pollen from one male pollen is received by a female then it is sufficient and it does not need more. So the roles of male and female plants are quite different. Male plants have to distribute maximum pollen, and female plants have to receive from only one. Females have no connection with others. 
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Similar phenomenon in animals & humans

A similar thing also happens in the animal kingdom. The alpha male controls the entire pride. And it spreads its genes across the entire herd / group. The alpha male’s tendency is to spread seeds as much as it can. In contrast, the female has to receive from one, and it does not have any desire to receive from multiple males for the purpose of procreation. 

A similar psychology or instinct is present in human beings also. For procreation purposes, males like to do maximum, and females prefer to remain with one - the alpha one. The inner science is what is the best procreation partner to care for the child. Promiscuity only results if the female perceives that her male is not an alpha in which case she will aim to connect with the alpha. This is all the play of instinct. 
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Goad mind to spirituality; overcome vrttis

By common sense, one can easily understand through AM philosophy that regardless of how instinct works, the human mind is more powerful than instinct. Those guided by or controlled by instincts are all animals. Those animals in human form are governed by their instincts; they are involved in sexual crimes and do not have control. Whereas, if one develops the mind through spiritual practices they can easily overcome the trappings of the various vrttis / instincts. 

As discussed above, males are more prone to have connections with many females and that causes harmful disturbances in society. 
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

This is the reason  that domestic violence occurs in many marriages. The male wants to have more, and females do not. This gives the clear-cut signal that those who marry to satisfy their sexual lust are on the wrong path. Coercive mating in married life is a sexual crime in many countries. Many ignorant people marry with this misguided purpose, and later on they get depressed, repent, or commit a sexual crime and sit in jail their whole life. Best would have been to find a spiritual path to tame their animal propensities and goad their tendencies in another direction. Then they would have been much happier. 

Conclusion

Instinct plays a greater role in all creatures, including human beings. In the hoary past, humans used to live in the wild on trees, and children used to hold the branches in order not to fall down. And they used to hold onto the mother's body when their mother was jumping from one branch to another. The same thing we see today in newly born infants. Their fist is tightly closed and gradually it becomes very strong. Even after millions of years this instinct is still present in modern babes. In the same way, those primitive alpha human males used to have that connection with countless females, and nowadays the same thing is going on in society. Even though society has been completely transformed, still that old instinct is dominant from plant life to animal life and in human life. 
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Those who are sadhakas - or those who take to spiritual practices - can step by step overcome and gain control over these base propensities.

In Him, 
Nrtyarata’

You avoided my calls

"Toma'ke d'eke gechi kato jiivane..." (Prabhat Samgiita #3789)

Purport:

Baba, O' Parama Purusa, with longing in my heart I have been calling You for so many lives. Why did You remain distant. It may be that You heard me but You did not listen, or that You saw me, but You did not look towards me. So many lives passed and I just remained in darkness. O' my Parama Purusa, You play Your unkind liila with one insignificant being like me. You remain unkind.

O’ Parama Purusa, Baba, I always tell You the feeling of my heart, and by Your grace I know that resonates deep in Your inner core. You are intimately aware about whatever I think each and every moment; nothing is hidden from You. Because You are the all-knowing, love-personified Entity, that is why without my telling anything You understand my most intimate thoughts. The feelings of my mind expressed in my core can be heard in the resonance of my mental reflections.
 
O' Parama Purusa, whether You listen to my call or not, that does not give me any pain. If You hear it that is good, and if You choose not to that is also fine. The main thing is that my everything is dedicated to Your service. With deep longing my duty is to call You day and night. So I continue whether You respond or not. I only want solace in the mind, for what cause You turned deaf ears to me and avoided my call. Baba, You have graced me so much. Keep me under Your loving care…

Kiirtana distinctions

Here is an English summary of Baba’s Bangla teaching of RU [EGD] 31 December 1982, A'nanda Nagar:

If it is told to only sing kiirtan then it means nam kiirtana, i.e. Baba Nam Kevalam. If it is told to sing songs etc that means Prabhat Samgiita or pad kiirtana Prabhat Samgiita. If it is based on the sketch of a storyline that means pala kiirtan. In the morning, I told you to do kiirtana, and everyone started singing pad kiirtana, but that was wrong. If I say do kiirtana then that only means nam kiirtana.

Here is more on this topic as there are three main types of kiirtana: 

(a) Na'ma Kiirtana: This is the singing of Baba Nam Kevalam, in its many forms including avarta kiirtana, nagar kiirtana, katha kiirtana (see note below), and akhanda kiirtana etc. 

(b) Pad Kiirtana: This is when a poetic verse is put into a kiirtana form. Various margiis turn a stanza of their bhajans into this type of kiirtan in order to glorify the Lord. And there are many PS compositions, between the numbers of #0140 -> #0160, that fall into this category as well. 

(c) Pa'la' Kiirtana: Pa'la' literally means “turn”. First one person sings then the audience responds. Thus pa'la' kiirtan is done in the style of call and response, where the main singer sings a stanza of Baba Nam Kevalam and the general public responds. But there is another aspect as well. In between the audience's participation, the main singer(s) perform at length, singing the glories of the Lord and recounting His tales and stories in the form of a dialog or prose that is often sung. And then it will go back in BNK kiirtana where all join in and sing. So it is a spiritual account or history about Parama Purusa that is led by trained sadhakas, who invite the audience to join in and sing.

Note: Katha kiirtana is when a collection of people gather to sing kiirtana and share stories in between singing BNK kiirtana.

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Another glaring example of the neglect of human values is the present judicial system. When arrested, people have to stand in the dock for the accused and face a trial based on evidence and the lawyers eloquence, no matter if they are guilty or not. A criminal who can afford to hire a reputable lawyer may emerge from the legal processes unscathed, whereas an innocent person of meagre financial means who is unable to appoint a good counsel, may end up in prison. If a thief is set free it is a crime, no doubt; but if an innocent person is punished it is a severe dishonour to humanity.” (1)

Note: In His above teaching Baba brings to light the tragedies that occur in society when poor people cannot get a proper attorney. Sadly, in spite of their innocence such impoverished persons get convicted of heinous crimes. On the other side of the coin, wealthy, anti-social criminals hire the more famous, reputed lawyers and are declared innocent.  That is what happens in the US, and other places. Take the case of one innocent poor black man who was unjustly found guilty in a murder case and sentenced to capital punishment. Yet, some selfless, philanthropic attorneys picked up his case and he was freed. But it took a long time, as he spent 30 years behind bars.

Exonerated after wrongful imprisonment

From the “Innocence Project” an innocent person was rescued from death row. And in total there may be thousands upon thousands of such cases.

"The Innocence Project focuses on cases in which DNA evidence is available to be tested or retested. DNA testing is possible in 5-10% of criminal cases...As of July 2017, 351 people previously convicted of serious crimes in the United States had been exonerated by DNA testing since 1989, 20 of whom had been sentenced to death. Almost all (99%) of the wrongful convictions were of males, with minority groups constituting approximately 70%.The National Registry of Exonerations lists 1,579 convicted defendants who were exonerated through DNA and non-DNA evidence from January 1, 1989 through April 12, 2015. According to a study published in 2014, more than 4% of persons overall sentenced to death from 1973 to 2004 are probably innocent." (Courtesy of Wikipedia)

So it is obvious that capital punishment is a terrible blot on human society. When handing down a verdict, no rational judge or jury can say with 100% certainty that justice was done in that particular case.

For instance, if after hanging an innocent person it was discovered he did not do wrong, then what can be done. Nothing - it is too late.  A better, more just, society will ensure that top legal support is provided to all equally, irrespective of one’s financial standing. In addition, that society will understand that setting a criminal  free is not as harmful as convicting an innocent person and sentencing them to death. When that happens, the common people lose faith in the justice system and that is the worst outcome. 

That is what has happened amongst the black population in the US. In comparison to white people, innocent black people are dealt very long periods of incarceration. For example, having a single dose of heroin can lead to a 20 year prison sentence, without any option for parole etc.
