Cómo se hicieron los libros de AM

 Baba


Cómo se hicieron los libros de AM en la década de 1950

Namaskar,

Haciendo un libro con la ayuda de notas escritas a mano: Sadguru Baba fundó AMPS en 1955 y comenzó a impartir discursos DMC y GD ese mismo año en hindi. En esos días, AMPS no tenía los medios financieros para comprar dispositivos de grabación, por lo que AMPS se basó en los tomadores de notas en esos primeros días. 

Ciertos margiis designados se sentaban en la primera fila y anotaban Sus discursos DMC. Después de que Baba completara Su discurso, los que tomaban notas de habla bengalí y de habla hindi se reunían, revisaban y cotejaban sus notas, y formaban una versión coherente para presentársela a Baba. Desafortunadamente, no pudieron hacer el trabajo correctamente, por lo que Baba luego reformularía el discurso en bengalí y agregaría más puntos para que el tema fuera preciso y completo. Algunos de esos primeros libros de Subhasita Samgraha se hicieron con este método. Sin embargo, esto resultó ser un proceso que consumía mucho tiempo, y Baba tenía numerosos proyectos en marcha y no tenía margen para dedicar horas y horas a este laborioso enfoque de la publicación de los libros.

Resumen: En los primeros días de AMPS, antes de que tuviéramos acceso a los dispositivos de grabación, Baba anotó los discursos, los volvió a revisar y repitió, y finalmente los imprimió.

Otra cosa a tener en cuenta, desafortunadamente en esa era antes de las grabaciones de carrete a carrete, solo se documentaron los discursos DMC de Baba. Esos sadhakas pensaban que solo los discursos del DMC eran muy importantes. Como resultado, todas esas charlas e historias dhármicas contadas durante Sus caminatas de campo no fueron documentadas, y muchos de Sus darshans generales no fueron documentados.

Resumen: Solo se documentaron los discursos de DMC en esos días, no los darshans de Baba, las caminatas de campo, etc.


Cómo se hicieron los libros AM en la década de 1960

Hacer un libro con la ayuda de una grabadora de carrete a carrete: Baba creó la presión necesaria y AMPS compró una máquina de grabación de carrete a carrete. A partir de ese momento, Baba puso fin al sistema de verificación de notas y redicción de Sus discursos, y en su lugar dio la orden de que Publicaciones hiciera un libro adecuado utilizando esas grabaciones de carrete a carrete. Se suponía que debían ser extremadamente meticulosos al verificar y confirmar el texto con el discurso grabado en esas cintas de carrete a carrete. En verdad, los discursos impresos para las ediciones en hindi, bengalí e inglés se hicieron transcribiendo esas cintas de carrete a carrete. Baba no tuvo tiempo de revisar esos libros. El único problema fue que los encargados no revisaron y verificaron repetidamente las grabaciones de audio. El resultado final fue que esos libros de AMPS estaban llenos de numerosos errores. De hecho, cuando los encargados imprimieron los libros cometieron todo tipo de errores y Baba no tuvo tiempo de revisar su trabajo. Por lo tanto, si se grababa un discurso, no se hacía ninguna revisión, solo era responsabilidad del Departamento de Publicaciones transcribirlo e imprimirlo. Sin embargo, durante todo ese tiempo, esos encargados le estaban dando el informe falso a Baba de que los libros se habían hecho correctamente. Al final, esos libros cargados de errores se vendieron a margiis.

Vista en general: una vez que aparecieron las cintas de carrete-a-carrete, Baba detuvo el lento proceso de chequear las notas de los discursos, y eso se volvió la norma para imprimir los discursos transcribiendolos directamente desde las cintas"


Historia: cómo se hicieron los libros de AM después de 1977

Período posterior a la cárcel: De hecho, en 1978 los casetes de audio se habían puesto de moda, por lo que los encargados ya no tenían que depender de las viejas máquinas de carrete a carrete. A pesar de la conveniencia de los nuevos casetes, el trabajo de grabación todavía no se hacía de manera consistente. Luego, el 14 de octubre de 1978, Baba expresó su ira fingida y exigió ver las grabaciones de audio de esos 71 discursos generales de darshan de las semanas anteriores. Los Dadas presentaron 35 audios grabados, pero no tuvieron respuesta para unos 36 discursos que no habían podido grabar, y solo pudieron quedarse allí en su propia vergüenza. Baba dijo que no daría más discursos hasta que recopilaran las notas del discurso de esos asistentes. (Algunos de ellos son del 5 al 9 de agosto, 28 al 30 de 1978 y del 21 al 26 de septiembre de 1978). El deseo de Baba era hacer libros adecuados usando esas cintas de audio. En última instancia, esto dio lugar a la serie Ananda Vacanamrtam, que es una colección de los discursos generales de darshan de Baba. Por la presión de Baba, la grabación de los discursos de Baba se convirtió en una rutina. La orden permanente de Baba era hacer libros adecuados usando esas cintas de audio. Debido a Su agenda extremadamente ocupada, Baba no tuvo tiempo para revisar esas publicaciones. Simplemente, el trabajo de Publicaciones era imprimirlos en forma de libro comprobando una y otra vez los casetes. Sin embargo, durante todo ese tiempo, esos encargados le estaban dando el informe falso a Baba de que los libros se habían hecho correctamente. Al final, esos libros cargados de errores se vendieron a margiis.

Resumen: La serie Ananda Vacanamrtam comenzó en 1978, pero inicialmente los encargados no fueron sinceros al registrar esos discursos. Por esta razón, Baba los señaló fuertemente y les hizo prometer que grabarían. El objetivo era que esos discursos se transcribieran e imprimieran, luego de compararlos y verificarlos meticulosamente con las cintas de audio. Sin embargo, los encargados no se ocuparon de esto adecuadamente; por lo tanto, los libros cargados de errores se vendieron a margiis.

Special Discourse on VSS

Baba

== Special Discourse on VSS ==


The following discourse - "The Four Types of Service" - was delivered around the time when Baba created VSS. The actual date of the discourse in not known; we do know that it was a general darshan originally given in Hindi by Baba in Patna. To date, this discourse has never been printed or published - not in any language. Nor has it been officially translated from the original Hindi. We look forward to presenting an English translation soon. In this unique discourse, Baba discusses various aspects of VSS. So it is highly relevant to the posting, "Baba Story: VSS Related." - Eds


इसके पहले कई बार कहा गया था कि—मनुष्य एक ही आधार में—विप्र, क्षत्रिय, वैश्य, और शूद्र बनेंगे | जैसे जनसेवा में सबसे सर्वश्रेष्ठ है विप्रोचित सेवा अर्थात्‌ धर्म का प्रचार—मनुष्य में सद्बुद्धि को जगाना |
किन्तु यह जो मनुष्य की साधुता है, इसकी रक्षा के लिए, ऊपर में एक कड़ा, आवरण की ज़रूरत होती है | मान लो बहुत-से स्कूल, college, सब बना लिए हो, factories बना लिए हो, dams बना लिए हो; मगर उन सबों की सुरक्षा का भी तो प्रबन्ध करना है | मैंने कहा था कि—अगर कछुआ के पीठ पर कड़ा आवरण नहीं रहता, अगर बेल पर कड़ा आवरण नहीं रहता; तो कौआ उन्हें खा ही लेता | तो तुम्हारी साधुता तुम्हारी विद्वत्ता, तुम्हारी साधकता की रक्षा के लिए, तुम में क्षत्रियता भी रहनी चाहिए |

["बाबा, बाबा, बाबा !"]

समाज की रक्षा, माँ-बहनों के सम्मान की रक्षा, हर तरह की रक्षा के लिए; देश की सुरक्षा, बाहरी हमला से समाज को राष्ट्र को बचाने के लिए—तुम्हें क्षात्र-शक्ति का अनुशीलन करना है | इसमें थोड़ी-सी भी ढिलाई नहीं होनी चाहिए | जो आत्मरक्षा का प्रबन्ध नहीं करते हैं, उनकी तरक्की नहीं हो सकती है | प्राचीन काल में लोग कहते थे कि—”योगी लोग, मुनि लोग सुशासित राज्य में वास करेंगे; जहाँ राज्य मज़बूत है, राजा मज़बूत है |” वह तो राज-तन्त्र का युग था इसलिए “राजा मज़बूत है”; आज के युग में कहेंगे—जहाँ government मज़बूत है | और नागरिकों को इसलिए government को भी मज़बूत बनाने के लिए, सुरक्षा के लिए, प्रबन्ध करना चाहिए | बाहर से हमला होने से फ़ौजी भाइयों को भी help करना पड़ेगा; देश की सुरक्षा के लिए | इसलिए क्षात्र-शक्ति की आवश्यकता है | उधर ढिलाई नहीं हो |

तो, स्थाई सेवा है विप्रोचित सेवा | मगर उस सेवा को help करनेवाली है क्या ? क्षात्रशक्ति | अच्छा, मनुष्य के लिए अन्न-वस्त्र की समस्या है और समाज में तरह-तरह की समस्याएँ हैं, उन समस्याओं के समाधान के लिए, socio-economic structure को मज़बूत बनाना है | यह जो socio-economic structure को मज़बूत बनाने की चेष्टा, मज़बूत बनाने का प्रयास वही है—वैश्योचित सेवा | जो मनुष्य भूखे हैं मर रहे हैं उस वक्त उनको तो तुम दर्शन नहीं समझाओगे; उनको खाना दोगे, कपड़ा दोगे, दवा दोगे | वहाँ—वैश्योचित सेवा | कहीं निर्बल पर सबल जुर्म कर रहा है, वहाँ तो निर्बल को तुम तो दार्शनिक तत्त्व नहीं सुनाओगे; खाना भी नहीं दोगे; उसकी रक्षा के लिए प्रबन्ध करोगे |

विप्रोचित है स्थाई सेवा | मगर विप्रोचित सेवा में मदद करनेवाली सेवा है—क्षत्रियोचित सेवा, वैश्योचित सेवा |जिनके पास मान लो बुद्धि नहीं है, विप्रोचित सेवा नहीं कर सकेंगे; शक्ति नहीं है क्षत्रियोचित सेवा नहीं कर सकेंगे; पैसा नहीं है वैश्योचित सेवा नहीं कर सकेंगे; मगर बुद्धि अगर नहीं हो शरीर तो है, मेहनत के द्वारा समाज की सेवा वे कर सकेंगे—तो, वह हुआ शूद्रोचित सेवा | मगर सबसे अच्छा होता है कि—एक ही मनुष्य अगर एक ही आधार में चारों बनें | और उसी से समाज का ठोस काम होगा |

साधक एक ही आधार में विप्र क्षत्रिय वैश्य और शूद्र बनेंगे | इसमें कहीं भी कुछ भी, थोड़ी-सी भी ढिलाई नहीं हो | तुम लोग सतर्क हो जाओ, सजाग हो जाओ और हर तरह से तैयार रहो | ताकि तुम्हारी सेवा से समूचा समाज, तथा समूचा मानव समाज उपकृत हो |

और कल ही सन्ध्या मैंने कहा था कि— सब कोई परमात्मा के सन्तान हैं | और सब कोई जब परमात्मा के प्यारे हैं; तो, वे बुद्धिमान हों चाहे निर्बुद्धि हों; बलवान हों चाहे निर्बल हों; पण्डित हों चाहे मूर्ख हों—सब जब परमात्मा के प्यारे हैं; तो, सब कोई कुछ न कुछ अवश्य कर सकेंगे | कोई तुच्छ नहीं हैं, हीन नहीं हैं, नीच नहीं हैं |

तैयार हो जाओ, देखोगे बहुत कुछ कर सकोगे | तुम जब काम करना शुरू करोगे, जब कूद पड़ोगे तब देखोगे कि—तुम में कितनी शक्ति छिपी हुई थी |

कल्याणमस्तु

["बाबा, बाबा, बाबा !"]

Brazil margiis & sin + 3 more

Baba 

Brazil margiis & sin

Namaskar,

After Agryabuddhya'nanda’s mahaprayan on Friday (20 Aug), his body was brought to a master unit and kept in the DC hall, and then they started doing akhanda kiirtana around his dead body. Sadly, this is all dogma so it is a veritable violation of dharma for those who participated in this dogma. 
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/


Sadguru Baba has given explicit instructions in Caryacarya about the handling and care of the body after their death. And there is absolutely no mention anywhere of dragging the body into the hall for kiirtana. This runs 100% contrary to His dharmic guidelines. So this particular unit in Brazil has committed a sin. 

In the below image, you can see margii dancing kiirtana around the casket / corpse of Dada Agryabuddhya'nanda. On the near side of the casket is a photo of Dada ji. This particular unit in Brazil has committed a sin.

== Section 2: Prabhat Samgiita ==


Captivated my mind

"Práńer pradiip saunge niye,ke go ele ei dharáytomáy, bhulate náhi párá jáy..." (Prabhat Samgiita #2205)

Purport:

Carrying the lamp of love, who are You who has taken advent on this earth. With the reffulgence of infinite prema and affection, and the effulgence of warmth and compassion, You have completely captivated my mind; now I cannot think of anything else. Supreme One, it is impossible to forget You. Because of Your august arrival, with each and every expression, in every rhythm, You are exuding beauty and sweetness in all directions - everywhere. I can’t stop thinking of You.
 
By Your melodious voice and heartfelt attraction, with love You are drawing everyone near You by Your mamata', feeling all as Your own. You are vibrating in Your glory yet remaining hidden in the deep core of my mind – always. I ever remember You.
 
My Innermost, at some unknown time in the past You came and poured forth the pot of love, saturated and showered Your incomparable grace, and created a big stir - a revolution - in the world of ideas and thinking. And after that You hid Yourself from this world and were not visible to the crude eye. You came as Mahasambhuti and now You are ever-present with everyone as Taraka Brahma in their heart and mind.
 
Baba, You are love personified how can I forget You...


Note for Prabhat Samgiita #2205:

[1] Mamata': Mineness; In Sanskrit “mama” = mine, and the suffix ta’ = -ness; hence “mineness.” To have equal or more love for something / someone than one has for oneself. 

Ananda Marga ideology says, "What is the meaning of “mamatá”? Mama + tá = mamatá. Mama means “mine” and thus mamatá is the inner idea of being mine, the feeling that something is my own." (1)

Ananda Marga ideology guides us, "“Mamatá” means “mine-ness” – “Mama” means “one's own”, and the abstract noun derived from it is “mamatá” – meaning, thereby “mine-ness.”" (2)

For example, suppose you are suffering from a fever then naturally you will be concerned about your own health. You will try to cure yourself by going to the doctor and taking medicine etc. If you have mamata for someone else, then if they are sick with a fever you will have the same degree of care for their condition as your own. When one does sadhana then this sense of mamata grows and one ultimately has the feeling of mamata towards the entire created universe. Without sadhana, one’s sense of mamata will be extremely limited whereby one might only care about their own individual existence. So when the mind is extremely narrow one only has mamata for oneself. Those with a slightly broader mind have mamata towards their parents and family members. And as the circumference of mind expands one has mamata for other relatives and community members etc. However, it is only with sadhana that the periphery of mind can grow further and further wherein one’s sense of mamata includes all beings and expressions of this cosmos. Parama Purusa has mamata’ for each and every entity - this entire creation, all living and non-living expressions.

Inside scoop on avidya maya

Ananda Marga ideology states, "The avidyá force declares war on those whose desire or inclination is towards vidyá; this gives rise to a hostile tendency in the recesses of their minds, against which they have to struggle. At home the husband, wife or the other members of the family become dissatisfied with them, and create various obstacles. In the field of their activities the opportunities arise for depravity, meanness, bribes etc., and they have to maintain their self-control. The locusts of desires come swarming in to destroy the very bud of their sádhaná. So they must carefully avoid such temptations for their own safety. But those whose movement is truly towards vidyá, who are determined to follow the path of vidyá by sacrificing their all, will eventually become immune to all obstacles. No amount of scornful taunts or diatribes will be able to check their lightning speed. They will emerge victorious, weathering and defying all storms, and eventually stand firm and erect like the Himalayas; and the storms and squalls will rebound back in disappointment."

"When the Sádhaka or the spiritual aspirant will stand untrammelled and resolute, with the courage of his conviction, and self-confidence, all snags and dangers will gradually wither away – will timidly disappear from his path...Obstacles are the concomitants of sádhaná, struggling is a good sign. By these obstacles sádhakas can understand that their spiritual practice is on the right track. Spiritual philosophy comes into being only when sádhakas struggling with avidyá’s hindrances, vindicates their move towards Brahma after defeating the base propensities of avidyá by their own intellect and judgment."

Mahaprayan of Agryabuddhya'nanda Avt.

 Baba 


Mahaprayan of Agryabuddhya'nanda Avt.

Namaskar,

It is with much sadness that we share the news of the mahaprayan of Ac Agryabuddhya'nanda Avt on Friday, 20 August 2021 in GT sector. Dada ji's mahaprayan occurred while being attended to in a Brazilian hospital.  

Respected Ac Agryabuddhya'nanda Avt was a longtime Wt. Prior to Emergency he was posted throughout India. And during the 1990's he was in NY sector, for much of that time at the Ananda Vrati MU in Pennsylvania (USA). And naturally, he toured many places and had many postings, most recently in GT sector. Many liked Dada ji for his kindness and smiling behaviour. 

May we all take solace in the fact that Ac Agryabuddhya'nanda Avt was a bhakta of Sadguru Baba. Certainly he will attain mukti or moksa, accordingly. Baba will lovingly bestow His infinite grace.

in Him,
Caetanya Deva 

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 reader's mind. 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 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 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 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. 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 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.
