Importancia de las asanas + Advertencia a este tipo de sadhaka

Baba

Importancia de las asanas

Namaskar,

Este mismo enfoque práctico se aplica a nuestro sistema de asanas de Ananda Marga. Desafortunadamente, todavía algunos no son muy estrictos con su práctica de asanas. Y esa falta de rigor invita a diversos tipos de padecimientos físicos y psíquicos.

Una de las razones de tal holgazanería puede deberse a la presión del trabajo y los efectos de la empresa, negativos o positivos. Tal vez sea desagradable decirlo, pero el hecho es que muchos de nuestros Dadas WT no son muy estrictos en la práctica de asanas tanto en la mañana como en la noche. Y algunos no hacen asanas en absoluto. Y, por lo general, cuando se quedan en las casas de los margii durante sus giras, los margii generales emulan de manera casual los ejemplos negativos o positivos que reciben de ellos. Debido a que no son estrictos en asanas, es por eso que esta negligencia hacia las asanas generalmente ocurre en India. Eso es lo que he visto.


También en mi propia vida experimenté que hace algún tiempo, cuando no era muy estricto con las asanas, comencé a sufrir problemas estomacales, incluida la acidez. Esa vez consulté a varios médicos y diferentes terapias (etc) Pero eso no solucionó el problema. Entonces vino a mi mente un pensamiento de que si Baba ha dado todo en Sus enseñanzas, ¿por qué no debería recibir ayuda de eso? Así que leí el capítulo sobre la acidez. Y cualesquiera que sean las reglas y regulaciones, lo que se debe y no se debe hacer y todo al cien por cien, me esforcé por practicar. Al principio pensé que era bastante difícil, pero luego se volvió bastante fácil. Y en una semana descubrí que es muy beneficioso ya que mis problemas de salud desaparecieron.

Antes también estaba haciendo asanas, pero de forma desordenada. Esta o aquella asana, sin saber cuál hacer y cuál no. Pero esto no es bueno y Baba incluso explica que hacer asanas de esta manera incorrecta puede tener un efecto desastroso. Hacer asanas incorrectamente, practicar las asanas incorrectas o no ser estricto crea un exceso o una deficiencia en la secreción de hormonas.

En un resumen en español de Yoga Psychology, “Glands and Sub-Glands”, Baba nos dice: Todas las a'sanas tienen un efecto presurizador o despresurizador sobre las glándulas y subglándulas. Por ejemplo, mayu'ra'sana [postura del pavo real] tiene un efecto presurizador sobre el man'ipura cakra. Las secreciones de las glándulas y subglándulas del man'ipura cakra y las propensiones asociadas con ellas se equilibrarán más si este a'sana se practica con regularidad. (resumen en español)

Y si ocurre lo contrario, entonces el resultado es negativo y eso también lo discute Baba. Al ver todas estas cosas y al leer libros de Tratamiento Yóguico, luego, a modo de prueba, pensé que debería ser estricto en las asanas de acidez solamente, ya que ese era mi principal problema. Así que hice eso y me dio un tremendo beneficio.

Reflexión


Finalmente, llegué a la conclusión de que, de acuerdo con las pautas que Baba ha dado en Su libro, al seguirlas, el problema se puede resolver muy fácilmente. Porque estas enseñanzas son como una medicina que en exceso es peligrosa y tomar menos no es muy útil. De manera similar, si uno hace eso con asanas no seleccionadas, entonces eso no es muy útil. Uno no puede obtener el beneficio completo. Y si uno los hace de manera incorrecta, como no seguir el tiempo de una asana en particular, tampoco da un rendimiento adecuado.

Si alguien tiene algún tipo de enfermedad como la acidez que Baba ha abordado en Su libro Tratamientos yóguicos, entonces debe practicar esas pautas con plena convicción y luego, muy pronto, por la gracia de Baba, también puede obtener el resultado adecuado.

Sin Su gracia nada puede suceder, nuestro deber es hacer con la energía que Él ha dado. Todas y cada una de las enseñanzas de Baba son muy significativas y muy prácticas y cualquier tipo de problema que tenga la sociedad humana, Baba ha dado todas esas soluciones. Deberíamos averiguar y aplicar todas esas soluciones. Ese es nuestro deber como discípulos sinceros.

Más sobre la importancia de las asanas

Aquí hay más enseñanzas de Baba que destacan la importancia general de hacer las asanas seleccionadas adecuadamente de manera constante y regular.

En un resumen en español de Yoga Psychology, “Glands and Sub-Glands”, Baba nos dice: Al realizar a'sanas con regularidad, los seres humanos pueden controlar las propensiones asociadas a cada chakra y, por lo tanto, los pensamientos que surgen en sus mentes y su comportamiento. Esto se debe a que los a'sanas tienen un efecto profundo en las glándulas. y subglándulas. (resumen en español)

En un resumen en español de Yoga Psychology, “Glands and Sub-Glands”, Baba nos dice: Al practicar a'sanas con regularidad, uno puede controlar las propensiones y aumentar o disminuir su actividad. Por lo tanto, los aspirantes espirituales deben seleccionar las a'sanas que realizan con mucho cuidado. Este efecto de a'sanas en las glándulas y sub -glándulas nunca se ha revelado antes.

Advertencia a este tipo de sadhaka

En un resumen en español de Yoga Psychology, “Are Ghosts Hallucinations?”, Baba nos dice:  Hay siete tipos de cuerpos luminosos: yakśa, siddha, gandharva, kinnara, vidyádhara, Prakrtiliina y videhaliina. Se clasifican según sus respectivas psicologías. Supongamos que hay una persona muy elevada que a menudo tiene ideas sobre el Conciencia Suprema, pero que tiene cierta codicia por la riqueza. Sin embargo, no se lo expresa abiertamente al Supremo, ni siquiera piensa en ello directamente. Piensa indirectamente: "Oh, ya que soy un devoto de la Conciencia Suprema, Él ciertamente me dará una enorme riqueza y me hará inmensamente rico". Aquellos que albergan este tipo de deseo encubierto renacen como yak'as. (resumen en español)

Nota: Los yaksas son un tipo de ser degradado, es decir, aquellos desafortunados que no pueden obtener una forma humana porque están bajo castigo. Sólo después de un castigo extremo, después de haber agotado tantos samskaras negativos, podrán recuperar la vida humana. Una vez que alcancen la forma humana, deberán obtener la iniciación tántrica, adherirse al código de yama y niyama, y realizar la máxima sadhana. Luego, después de mucho esfuerzo, solo por Su gracia, pueden obtener moksa. Así que el suyo es un viaje largo y arduo, ya que deben sufrir durante millones de años. Por eso es muy malo meditar en el dinero.

Algunos sádhakas que son hombres de negocios y otros sádhakas que manejan muchísimo capital a la vez preocupados por el dinero, que se entregan día y noche a asuntos de dinero, sufrirán de esta manera. Serán degenerados en yaksas. Después de enfrentarse al castigo durante millones de años, quién sabe en qué planeta pueden tener la oportunidad de vivir una vida humana y hacer un trabajo y un servicio adecuados. Pero si vuelven a entregarse a asuntos de dinero, se convertirán en yaksas (seres degradados) y este ciclo se repetirá. Darán vueltas y vueltas en este tortuoso patrón.

Es por eso que Baba nos advierte que cuando uno tiene un cuerpo humano, la meta debe ser Parama Purusa, no el dinero.


Early days + 3 more

Baba

Early days

Namaskar,

This letter concerns the history of those early days in the formation of Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha. During those times in Jamalpur, Baba did all the initiations Himself. As the number of disciples grew, He introduced the system of family tattvikas and family acaryas. Then those tattvikas and acaryas taught sadhana to new people. And Baba started guiding more and more new programmes.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/


Only family acaryas were running the AMPS

Following that initial stage in which Baba did all the initiations himself, in the subsequent phase, family acaryas were working hard to keep pace with the rapid growth and spread of Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha.

Gradually, in step-wise, progressive fashion, the work of Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha multiplied. Family acaryas were inspired and convinced to take leave from their government offices and jobs; and, they were temporarily separated from their families in order to travel to faraway places for pracar (preaching and teaching of AM ideology). They reached to all corners of India from Jammu Kashmir to Kannya Kumari and from Cachh to Nagaland. They covered just about everywhere – all places, all the district headquarters, etc. Plus so many meetings were organised – so many tattva sabhas.

The main program was the extensive pracar work going on those days. There was only one main work — pracar, pracar, and pracar. There was no Prout work, no samaj work, and no other activity. In 1955 and 1956, there was only pracar: Making new margiis and getting them involved in sadhana and sending them for PC (personal contact) at Jamalpur.

Then the next phase started. Family acaryas were requested to go outside India. Some went and did huge work. Baba’s intensive pressure remained very focused on pracar work. So most of the family acaryas were taking leave and getting involved. Weeks after weeks. Pracar and pracar. That was the rhythm those days. At the same time, Baba graciously created a favourable vibration everywhere. So wherever acaryas went, they found spiritually hungry people ready and anxious to learn meditation and follow our Ananda Marga way of life. Effortlessly, acaryas initiated countless people. It was all due to Baba's cosmic grace.

Why pseudo-sadhakas ran away

By that time, Baba was taking reports and bestowing His special tantrika gift.  This was exclusively His causeless grace. To the untrained eye it may have looked harsh. But behind, Baba had His cosmic plan. By using His tantrika gift, He would cure sadhakas of their physical and psychic ailments. In His divine play, He purified their glands, cleaned their minds, and infused them with bhakti, stamina, and a strong sense of determination. In this way, He was gracing and purifying them - and bhaktas realised this as well. They could feel how all their physical and psychic ailments were removed, by His grace, i.e. by His special tantrika gift. After reporting, they would be recharged and filled with a positive outlook to do more and more pracar. Outwardly it looked harsh; but, those who received this special tantrika gift were blessed with a strong spirit, a clear mind, and a disease-free body.

These days some people may think: Was there no other way to purify sadhakas than by this special tantrika gift? The answer is very simple. Baba's unique and special gift enabled sadhakas to be cured, and become pure, and spiritually cleansed. By this way, they could do more pracara and dharmic work for His mission. And that is exactly what happened. Those true sadhakas remained along with Baba and worked untiringly, by His grace. While those selfish lookers coming for worldly boons were intimidated and stayed away. This was the way Sadguru Baba showered His grace upon His disciples and displayed His tantric liila.

How Wt system started - 1

In the transitional period when society is confused and people do not know what to do, Mahasambhuti graciously takes advent. He comes on this earth not for a few individuals but to guide the whole, entire society - for generations and generations, thousands of years. So He has so many guidelines, and plans and programmes, to give. And verily Baba’s vision and practical approach was vast. It was not possible for family people alone to carry out this monumental task. Those family people already had mundane jobs and could only do service work / pracara on a part-time basis. And Bada was giving such a grand set of teachings and service works that family margiis simply could not complete.

After all, the world is quite vast, and there was pressure to get the work done immediately. Baba’s allotted target for those family acaryas was to cover the entire globe down to the district level. Yet those family acaryas had jobs, children, family obligations, and various personal affairs that demanded their attention. So those family acaryas were feeling completely overwhelmed and at a loss for how to complete this dharmic task which Sadguru Baba has allotted.


How wt system started - 2

Sadguru Baba has a specific plan to fulfill and implement in a very short period. Baba’s aim was to serve the whole human society. Although those family acaryas were trying hard, it was evident that more help was needed to complete this immense task.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

The days and weeks flew by with ever-increasing work demands and quotas. After some time, 
Baba’s work pressure was so extreme, family acaryas were under tremendous pressure and stress to fulfill the targets. At one point, Baba gave the program to do pracar and programs in all blocks of the entire world: where there is at least one Margii in each and every block.

Then Baba graciously suggested, “You people have become senior; you have big extended families with many duties and responsibilities, both personally and professional. So you cannot travel around and do Ananda Marga pracara etc for several months at a time. Why not find youths who are unmarried, or anyone who can 
give full-time commitment for this endeavour, and take work from them?”


Conclusion

By listening to this suggestion from Baba, those family acaryas felt so much relief. They immediately started searching for some youths to commit full-time to doing AMPS work. In this course of action, from different parts of India, family acaryas sent many youths for PC at Jamalpur. And to make them into LFTs there was one training session. The year was 1962. Things were going on very fast. Without any delay those LFT’s were getting their WT-ship. This is just a glimpse of some of the long, rich history. From there the story goes on and on.

Namaskar,
In Him,
Kripa’nidhi

Love & punishment

The rule is that without love one cannot punish that person, rather the degree of love must be higher. .  

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, “The quantum of punishment must not exceed the quantum of love.” (1)

Baba has much more love towards those whom He punishes in comparison to those who He does not punish. The idea is that Baba is impartial so if the sadhaka loves much more and feels more love for Baba he is qualified to get more punishment. That is why it is said in the scriptures that those who are blessed who get punished by Sadguru.

What is special tantrika gift


Special tantrika gift: Baba would cure the physical and psychic ailments of His disciples. In His divine play, He purified their glands, cleaned their minds, and infused them with bhakti, stamina, and a strong sense of determination. All these things He was doing through His mock corporeal punishment. That was His tantrika gift. In this way, He was gracing and purifying them.

When Taraka Brahma comes onto this earth in human form as Mahasambhuti then by His grace bhaktas realise His divine Self - and they come to see Him. News of His arrival spreads, as do the stories of His greatness, powers, and grace. Gradually, more and more start coming for His darshan and blessing, until even non-sadhakas seeking worldly boons start approaching Him in droves. Yet, Mahasambhuti comes with a particular purpose: To attend to certain dharmic works and impart teachings to lead humanity for thousands of years. All the while time is short and He has to guide His bhaktas first and foremost.

Only the fortunate get beating 

So Baba employed His special tantrika gift, i.e. mock corporeal punishment. Certainly all were welcome to see Him, non-margiis and margiis alike. However when those non-sadhakas saw Baba use His special tantrika gift, those masses quickly became frightened and turned back. They thought it was better to stay out of the line of fire rather than risk going close. It was only His bhaktas that could see through the liila and understand that His tantrika gift - mock corporeal punishment - was nothing but His special grace. It was the ocean of nectar. By getting His tantrika gift, sadhana was heightened, diseases were cured, and the mind was made free and fearless. In a word, one became purified by His grace. Yet from the outside it looked quite scary. So non-sadhakas opted to turn away whereas bhaktas were always eager to go close to Him. They would wait days and weeks to receive His dharma samiiksa, and would yearn for and seek out other opportunities to go close. Such bhaktas could see and feel that beneath it all was His ever-flowing, unending love. And they valued His tantrika gift as the most charming and blessed event in their entire life.

Looking towards You

“Bandhu...ye va toma'ya bale kat'hora...
Ka'che ele bujhebe se jana, Sujana toma'ra mata keha na'i…” (Prabhat Samgiita #0268)

Purport:

O’ Parama Purusa, my Bandhu, I won't ever be fearful of Your harshness. During the journey on this path of divine effulgence I will go on looking towards You. You are my everything.

Baba, those who say that You are not kind do not understand Your greatness. The reality is that Your harshness is covering Your heavenly softness.

Baba whoever tells You are unkind remains far away from You. If that person comes close, they will understand that no one else is as tender and charming as You. No one is as sweet and loving as You...

Solution to every problem

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “A correct spiritual ideology is the only solution to the problems confronting the world. From this perspective we can call Ananda Marga ideology the philosophers' stone. Just as the philosophers' stone is meant to transform everything into gold, Ananda Marga ideology can, most definitely, find a just and rational solution whenever it is applied to any problem.” (1)

Idea of religious state is disastrous

Ananda Marga philosophy guides us, “If a particular religion is proclaimed the state religion, those who follow other religions will not identify with the country. Consequently, the unity of the country will be undermined. If people go against this basic principle, they may be politically successful for a short time, but eventually they will inflict great harm on the country and prove to be a failure.” (1)
