Historia de Baba: Kiirtan dañino

Historia de Baba: Kiirtan dañino

Namaskar,

Fue a principios de la década de 1970 cuando recientemente se había dado nuestro kiirtan de Baba Nam Kevalam. Mi deber era organizar una procesión nagar kiirtan en mi aldea. Yo era el margii solitario en mi área y pensé que otras personas no estarían interesadas en cantar Baba Nam Kevalam. Después de todo, en esos días muchos se oponían a Ananda Marga en varios frentes. Así que pensé que la mejor manera de hacer que la gente se sintiera atraída por nuestro programa nagar kiirtan era incorporar sus palabras de preferencia en nuestro mantra Baba Nam Kevalam.

Me vino a la mente la idea de que, dado que Baba vino como el Señor Shiva, el Señor Krsna y el Señor Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji, todos son la misma entidad, entonces no hay nada de malo en incluir sus nombres también en nuestro kiirtan. De esta manera, los no margiis estarán más dispuestos a participar porque también se incluye el nombre de su preferencia. O, como mínimo, serían más comprensivos y no se nos opondrían.

Este es el kiirtan que hice

Así que pensé por un rato y decidí que deberíamos cantar:

Bholenath*
Radheshyam**
Baba Nam Kevalam
Baba Nam
Baba Nam
Baba Nam Kevalam

Este fue el kiirtan que hice.

[*Bholenath se refiere al Señor Shiva; y **Radheshyam se refiere al Señor Krsna y Radha]

Ese día cantamos este kiirtan recién hecho para nuestro programa nagar kiirtan y funcionó bien. Se unieron muchos no margiis que de otro modo no habrían participado. Por supuesto, todavía muchos se opusieron, pero en general ganamos algunas personas. Así que estaba pensando que fue bastante exitoso.

Fui a ver a Baba

La próxima vez que fui a ver a Baba, Él fue muy amable y dulce y me preguntó: "¿Qué tipo de nagar kiirtan has estado cantando en tu aldea? Canta todo el kiirtan ahora".

Luego lo canté frente a Baba:

Bholenath*
Radheshyam**
Baba Nam Kevalam
baba Nam
baba Nam
Baba Nam Kevalam

Baba me miró y dijo: "Sukhadev, has cometido un error".

No debe cantar varios nombres

Entonces Baba continuó explicando que Caetanya Mahaprabhu creó dos kiirtanas:

1. Hare Ram Hare Ram Ram Ram Hare Hare

Esto fue para aquellos que eran seguidores de Ram.

2. Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krna Krsna Hare Hare;

Esto fue para aquellos seguidores del Señor Krsna.

Entonces uno no debe cantar ambos nombres en el mismo kiiirtan. Ninguna persona debe cantar ambos kiirtanas en uno solo. Uno no debe cantar dos nombres de ninguna manera.

El único kiirtan para el Verdadero Ananda Margiis - Baba Nam Kevalam

Baba continuó: "Para Ananda Margiis, he dado: Baba Nam Kevalam. Entonces, los Ananda Margiis solo deben cantar este kiirtan. Y mezclaste los tres nombres en un kiirtan. Eso fue un error".

Baba explicó además: "Los Ananda Margiis solo deben repetir Baba Nam Kevalam, ningún otro. En el punto de Ista uno no debe comprometerse. Por lo tanto, los Ananda Margiis no debe agregar Bholenath y Radheshyam al kiirtan de Baba Nam Kevalam para complacer a los no margiis."

"No debes mezclar otros nombres en el Baba Nam Kevalam. Si los mezclas, entonces el kiirtan de Baba Nam Kevalam no te será útil. Ningún sadhaka debe ceder en el punto de Ista. Si cantas varios nombres, no tendrá ningún valor, más bien es dañino. Independientemente de cuánto cantes, solo perderás el tiempo y bifurcarás la mente.

Conclusión

Me di cuenta de mi error y no lo volví a hacer. Por la gracia de Baba, desde ese momento detuve mi kiirtan recién hecho y solo canté el kiirtan de Baba Nam Kevalam.

Ciertamente es cierto que un Parama Purusa como Mahasambhuti vino a esta tierra como el Señor Shiva y el Señor Krsna, pero en nuestras prácticas espirituales los nombres del Señor Shiva y el Señor Krsna no tienen sentido. Solo debemos cantar Baba Nam Kevalam.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Esa fue la lección única que recibí ese día, por Su gracia. Ahora solo canto Baba Nam Kevalam.

Namaskar,
En Él,
Ac Sukhadev Dharmamitram

Nota: Sobre la historia anterior

La historia anterior contada por Ac Sukhadev Dharmamitram (distrito de Jehanabad, Bihar) es muy significativa y clave para adherirse al punto de "rigurosidad y fe inflexible con respecto a la santidad de Ista".

¿Plagio?

 Es el estándar internacional aceptado y el sistema de Baba no copiar el trabajo de otro y publicarlo a tu manera. Baba ha dado una regla muy estricta sobre el plagio. ¿Por qué Baba está en contra del plagio o de robar el trabajo de alguien?  Hay muchas razones:

1)    Va contra el código de asteya (no robar).

2)    Es necesario publicar innumerables historias de bhaktas. Pero algunos no quieren hacer el arduo trabajo de recopilar y escribir estas historias, por lo que simplemente se las roban a otros.  Pero es necesario contar nuevas historias, de lo contrario, muchas historias inéditas de sadhakas se perderán y olvidarán para siempre.  Así que tenga cuidado con los ladrones de historias y ayúdelos amablemente a no robar publicando en las redes sociales a su manera.  Si desea reenviar esta historia, adjunte la siguiente sección amarilla con la historia:

 “Cortesía de un bhakta desconocido a través de Ananda Marga Universal (https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/)”
 

Esto será tratado como el protocolo estándar.

Baba

Upcoming festival

Namaskar,

Our Ananda Marga is the Path of Bliss. A'nanda means bliss, and Ma'rga means path; hence, Am is the "path of bliss." And if one follows this path - His teachings of Ananda Marga - then one becomes ensconced in bliss: By reaching up to Parama Purusa and becoming one with Parama Purusa, by His grace.

A'nandam' Brahma itya'huh (1)
Meaning: This a'nanda is called Brahma

So our Ananda Marga is the path to Brahma. And Shravanii Purnima is the day when Baba blessed humanity with this path. This is one highly memorable occasion as it marks the birth of Ananda Marga as we know it. It was on Shravanii Purnima that those bhaktas began performing Ananda Marga sadhana, by Baba's grace. Later on, the organisation (AMPS) was formed in 1955; but, by then, already Baba had beautifully created so many followers of Ananda Marga sadhana. That is why Shravanii Purnima in 1939 is the real birth of Ananda Marga - the path of bliss.

The deep significance of Shra'van'ii Pu'rn'ima'

Since that very day of Shra'van'ii Pu'rn'ima', the cosmic play started between the divine forces and crude forces. And, ultimately, the kundalinii was awakened and started rising up, by His grace. The overall idea is that Baba has infused this whole world with His special vibration. And in that way there will be victory over the crudeness and staticity. That is what happened through that historic initiation in 1939 of Kalicharanji, the notorious bandit who became a dedicated yogic monk.

In Ananda Marga history, this day of Shra'van'ii Pu'rn'ima' has deep importance, not just physical history, but psychic and spiritual history too. It carries a special significance because that day Parama Purusa infused His spiritual power and energy which is working and will work in future also. So this Shra'van'ii Pu'rn'ima' has great value.

Ultimately, human beings come on this earth to reach and achieve this Goal - Parama Purus'a. And Parama Purusa comes in the form of Mahassambhuti. That is what was auspiciously started by our Sadguru Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji in 1939 when He graciously performed His first initiation into Ananda Marga sadhana.

The auspicious advent of Taraka Brahma

As every Ananda Margii has realised, His divine advent (Ananda Purnima) itself is very meaningful; and, so is the special day of Shravanii Purnima when He blessed humanity by initiating aspirants onto the spiritual path of Ananda Marga tantra sadhana. Both days are historic events. Because Ta'raka Brahma comes on this earth to liberate one and all from the various types of bondages: physical, psychic, and spiritual.

Ananda Marga philosophy states, "No one need harbour any doubt that Parama Purus'a exists to promote the well-being of all created beings. If He was not concerned about the welfare of the living unit beings, He would have remained in His unqualified stance forever and would not have manifested Himself as Ta'raka Brahma or Sagun'a Brahma. But He did manifest Himself in this way and has just showed His intention of promoting the well-being of humanity. That is why He has given the assurance:"

"Paritra'n'ya..."

"Now what is the necessity for His repeated advent into this world? To ensure human welfare; about that there is no doubt. Human welfare primarily means welfare in the spiritual stratum." (2)

Shravanii Purnima in Baba's presence

Many may recall how in Baba's presence Sharvanii Purnima was always an auspicious and festive occasion. Always Baba would graciously deliver a discourse. Plus on many, many Shravanii Purnima gatherings Baba would shower His divine blessing by giving His varabhaya mudra. Furthermore, on a few select Shravanii Purnima gatherings, Baba also gave an Ananda Vanii; that happened three times: Shravanii Purnima '57, Shravanii Purnima '58, Shravanii Purnima '63.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

So Shravanii Purnima is a grand festival. There are two or three days a year when Baba would deliver a discourse, shower His varabhaya mudra blessing, and put forth an Ananda Vanii. And Shravanii Purnima was one such occasion. The two other main dates were New Year's Day and Ananda Purnima.
 

How we should celebrate

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, "Shrávańii Púrńimá: Twice collective Iishvara Prańidhána and Varńárghyadána, collective noon and night meals, merry celebrations, spiritual conferences, literary meetings, procession with táńd́ava dance in the afternoon." (3)

Baba has given great scope for celebrations and rejoicing on this day. In addition to the various festivities enlisted above, the day can start with nagar kiirtan in the early morning, and include poetry readings, sports and games, feasting, 3-hour akhanda kiirtan, RAWA and Prabhat Samgiita performances, narayan seva and other social service projects, activities for children, prizes, spiritual talks and seminars, and other elaborate festivities etc.

As Baba guides in numerous discourses, social functions and festivals are great unifying forces in society, as they generate family feeling amongst all. People come together from near and far with their family members and remember that they are part of one universal human family under the divine shelter of Parama Purusa. Those margiis who are not regular in attending dharmacakra throughout the year come for Shravanii Purnima and get recharged and revitalised. In their heart they feel great love for Baba. And verily there are some margiis who may not be strict in all aspects of Sixteen Points yet feel deeply connected with Ista. In their heart they feel their life is for Baba and coming out for Shravanii Purnima each year helps remind them of this.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Plus new people are also bound to attend. No organisation or family can last without generating new people. This is an essential aspect of any community. So big festivals and social functions are excellent ways to attract and inspire new people. Thus on many levels and in various ways, having elaborate and grand festivities on the occasion of Shravanii Purnima is beneficial. Every unit should make strong efforts to build up wonderful and festive gatherings for the special date of Shravanii Purnima.

We are fortunate and especially graced that Baba has taken us in His loving shelter. When He has accepted us as His disciples, it means we are in His great care. Those who are bhaktas have the real understanding. They know that Baba is with them, and that He is always remaining within their heart. Every sadhaka can have His communication and get His blessing.

Baba's personal account of Shravanii Purnima

Here below Baba recounts the scene of that auspicious Shra'van'ii Pu'rn'ima' when He performed His first initiation.

   Ananda Marga philosophy states, "This is Shra'van'ii Pu'rn'ima'. It is an important day. Then I was very young, studying in Vidy'asagar College in Calcutta. One evening a very interesting event took place. Suddenly a wicked person came near me. I use the word 'wicked', but it is not a permanent state of human beings. A person who is wicked today may be a noble person tomorrow, and one who is dull or stupid today may be wise tomorrow. These are all relative matters bound by the bondages of relativity. No one can be called permanently wicked. It should always be borne in mind that one should always try to develop the good and the subtle in a wicked person."
   "That evening a certain wicked person came to me. What could he expect from me? But then he came. In accordance with natural human psychology, I asked him, "What do you want? Why do you adopt this evil path?" In the course of our conversation, he realized that he should change the course of his life, and he took initiation. That was the first spiritual initiation I ever imparted to anyone. And that same day, Shra'van'ii Pu'rnima, has again returned."
   "A long time has elapsed since then. That was perhaps in 1939." (4)

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, "The one formless, beginningless and infinite Parama Brahma (Supreme Consciousness) is the only entity to be attained by living beings - That alone is Jagat Guru (the Supreme preceptor), That alone has revealed Brahmavidya (intuitional science) to us through the medium of the name and form of Shrii Shrii Anandamurtijii. Unit beings must be made to appreciate Its majesty." (5)

Namaskar,
In Him,
Chandra Shekhar

This letter shares some of the highlights of the special occasion and festival of Ananda Marga: Shravanii Purnima (Wednesday, 30 Aug 2023). Most every Ananda Margii is aware that Sadguru Baba started giving initiations into Ananda Marga sadhana 1939. That began one auspicious and glorious era. This is a special occasion because on that very day the Lord initiated the first sadhaka Kaliicharan unto the path of Ananda Marga. Verily, Shra'van'ii Pu'rn'ima' marks the occasion when Sadguru Baba first initiated someone according to the Ananda Marga sadhana system.

Purport:

Parama Purusa, You have come to me in my song - it is Your grace. You came in my mind while I was singing the songs. Your blissful arrival has touched and spiritually vibrated my entire existence. Supreme Entity, now please shower me with a wee-bit of Your krpa, giving a loving touch to my aching heart. Baba, come very close with Your smiling face and blossom Your refulgent Self deep inside my mind and come to my core and still more near in my dhyana.

Illumined One, You are so charming and enchanting. The entire day has passed in Your ideation – thinking of You, doing japa, and listening to Your teachings, svadhyaya, and stories etc. Now the brilliance of the evening sky is glittering. All the 24hrs are moving in Your sweet flow. Baba, since You have come to me then what is hurry - why not stay a moment and make me Yours. Please be with me forever.

Parama Purusa You are bliss personified. By Your august presence, this illuminating evening, which inundates my whole being with goosebumps and joy, should continue on and on eternally. Kindly be gracious and let all my inner longing and loving memories float endlessly in Your tune by Your melody. With Your causeless compassion You have come and showered me in Your divine anandam…

Baba, Parama Purusa, Your presence is beyond comparison. Baba, You are mine...

How materialists lost to those religious exploiters

Ananda Marga Ideology states, “On deeper analysis we find that the Charvaka and other schools of materialistic philosophy propagated certain doctrines which were more a revolt against the prevailing religions than an expression of a rational and benevolent outlook. They protested loudly against the clergy or religious traders who composed the so-called scriptures in the name of dharma (in fact it was not dharma, but religion); who took advantage of the fear psychosis, in the name of god, to ruthlessly exploit society. The Charvaka and other materialistic philosophies were motivated to strike against religious exploiters. They were fully aware of the way the vested interests exploited society, and they knew that nobody had the right to deprive others of their properties, since every thing of this earth is the common patrimony of all, yet they did not endeavour to lead humans along the path of rationality or formulate a healthy social and spiritual ideology.” (1)

Ananda Marga Ideology states, “The reason for this was that they lacked convincing arguments to stand against the sharp intellect of the vested interests [religious exploiters]. Thus, they merely attempted to negate the fundamental tenets of the vested interests [religious exploiters], often with rather abusive language. Due to the weakness of their argumentation it was easy for the vested interests [religious exploiters] to emerge and gain strength in the subsequent period.” (2)
