Baba
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.

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.

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." (1)
