MAHAPRAYAN OF TOM, DICK, HARRY & EVEN JOHN DOE

~ Part 2 ~

Namaskar,
Here below is a public announcement in the newspaper about the mahaprayan of a Muslim man named Maulana Abdul Latif Chaudhury. This is a common phenomenon in my Bengal. The term mahaprayan is everywhere; it is widely used for all kinds of people to signify their death. It is not something special or unique. This below person was not an Ananda Margii.

The last word of the title of the below newspaper article is the term 'mahaprayan' in Bengali script:

In this article - as well as in its regular usage - the term mahaprayan is used to insinuate the death of a man who has made his departure from this world to God. That is why this word is not used for Taraka Brahma because He did not depart - He is the eternal Parama Purusa. So the mahaprayan term is for ordinary humans, i.e. mortals.

Some think that we should live happily and not care about all these things. That is the wrong approach and defeats the purpose of creating the organisation. All kinds of societal dogmas were in vogue and Baba created Ananda Marga to eradicate those dogmas. Naturally then we must not allow such dogmas in our very own organisation, AMPS. If we ignore those dogmas it defeats the purpose of the formation of Ananda Marga.

in Him,
Renu Guha

Delirium of Diseased Jinani #1 & #3

Baba

Note: In this series of letters, Dr. T. R Sukulji addresses the delirium of one jinani, i.e. Manas Nandi. To read Nandi's original letters, please scroll down accordingly. A link to part two of this series is also appended below. - Eds

== DELIRIUM OF DISEASED JINANI #3==

Namaskar.

We all know that we all come from Parampurush and return back to Him only, through the long journey of cosmic cycle and the phases of sanchar and pritisanchar.

Maeyav sakalam' ja'tam' mayi sarvam' pritisthitam';

Mayi sarvam' layam' ya'ti tad brahma'dvayamasmyaham.

In this long journey, the operative principle i.e. prakrati takes care of our every movement up to the stage below human form. As soon as human form is attained ( which is relatively more developed stage than other creatures ) it develops its own existential feeling to work independently with its ego. The operative prakrati still helps them to march ahead utilizing vidya and avidya powers of it in a rational way. The nature of vidya tends towards spirituality and the vidya towards physical materialistic property. Due to materialistic attraction of avidya some people are deviated from the righteous path and think it to be their final goal. After a long time when they do not get perpetual happiness in it they feel repentant . So according to the rule " ya'drashi bhavna' yasya siddhirbhavati ta'drashi" they get degenerated towards negative pratisanchar .

The human form is attained crossing 75 per cent of the cosmic cycle in clockwise direction and rest of the 25 per cent can be covered with the rational use of vidya and avidya power of prakrati i.e. by dint of sadhana but influenced by avidya the materialistic mentality prevents many of us and compels  to follow anticlockwise movement of cosmic cycle and they march opposite to the already crossed 75  per cent way ( negative pratisanchar).

Thus there are two ways to attain parampurush  ( 1) With the centripetal force using vidya and avidya in a rational way and doing sadhana and (2) with a centrifugal force using only avidya . In first case, people develop personal and intimate relation with parampurush and proceed ahead with happiness. In second case, people develop enemy relation with parampurush out of pride and follow the negative pratisanchar. King Kamnsa and Ravana are examples who tried to attain parampurush treating Him as their enemy.

Rev. Baba says, the second way is torturous and is condemned by the people ages together hence should not be followed by any one.

As far as brother Nandiji's letters are concerned they convey following two messages:-

  (1) He is trying to understand AnandaMarga philosophy but due to  lacking in proper guidance and knowledge , feels defects in the philosophical terms which he is unable to understand.

 (2) He treats himself to be all knowing intelligent person and can test every other knowledge of the world to certify which is right or wrong .And in this way entertaining himself criticizing others .

      - If above point no.1 is correct then we have sympathy with him and can try our level best to convince and explain every philosophical term he needs. It is the important trait of human mind to learn from defects. This will certainly lead him towards true knowledge, righteousness and bliss.

     - if above point no. 2 is correct then there is no doubt that he has gone mad or is a great fool  of the world. He should know that we do not afraid of criticism at any level because we have proper explanation of  each of his doubt and we will never leave the path of bliss due to fear of criticism. 

The scriptures say :-

    "Nindantu niitinipun'ah stuvantu va', laxmi a'gachhatu gachhatu va yathestam,

     Adyaiv maranmastu yugantare va, nyayat pathi pravichlanti na dhiirah.

Respectfully,

Here below is what Nandiji wrote:

From: Manas Nandi
Subject: [BabasDream] “Bábá: “Supreme Father”, the affectionate name given to Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrtijii by his disciples”

 

Namaskar

“Bábá: “Supreme Father”, the affectionate name given to Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrtijii by his disciples” (1)

 

If we look at above sentence (see reference below), what does it looks like?

 

Baba means Supreme Father

Baba is  the affectionate name given to Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrtijii by his disciples

So Supreme Father is the affectionate name given to Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrtijii by his disciples. So Supreme Father is the affectionate name given to Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar by his disciples.

 

Who is Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrtijii?

Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrtijii ( aka Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar) is the founder of global spiritual organization called Ananda Marga.

 

So it means Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar is Supreme Father

So it means Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrtijii is Supreme Father

So it means another name of Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar is Supreme Father

So it means another name of Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrtijii is Supreme Father

 

(minus infinity)……Ha ha ha laughing …..(plus infinity)

 

 

Who do you want to be blamed? Shall one blame the irrational devotees of Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrtijii who has given such irrational name (rather impossible)? Should ones give a person (even if the person is very brilliant) a name ‘Supreme Father’? Or is it the attempts of the Ananda Marga organization to speculate their guru? Or is it the fault of the publication department? Or is it the desire of their guru to be called as Supreme Father?

 

I, Manas Nandi, will become tired to find many faults of Ananda Marga Organization. Will somebody help in this vast work of fault finding? Ha ha ha

== DELIRIUM OF DISEASED JINANI #1==

Namaskar.

My views on above letter are as under:-

1-  I have third edition of "idea and ideology" which contains 11 chapters. The text lines/ para from which above three conclusions have been extracted could not be found in any chapter of this edition. Therefore there can not be a direct blame that this book is misleading towards  controversial conclusions.

2-  The writer, (Dada Vedaprajinananda) of the article on:  http://www.anandamarga.org/articles/brahmacakra.htm

has explained the creation of this universe under his own understanding. He has expressed his views treating pure consciousness, prakrati and creation to be different three things. It is the main reason which leads the reader to contradict conclusion. The other important point is the use of word "modification". Every one knows that modification is needed to the entity which is incomplete. Pure consciousness is complete in all respects hence requires no modification yet the writer has mentioned it which is not agreeable.

3- Rev. Baba has very scientifically and exclusively explained this theory in His book "Idea and Ideology".  If we go through the book it is clearly understood  that if there is any existence , it is of non-qualified Brahma ( i.e. nirvikar or nirgun Brahma). Prakrati having threefold nature is His inherent operative principle. In nirvikar state this operative principle remains in dormant stage. Prakrati and purush though dual in theory are singular in spirit like two sides of one coin. The three binding forces of prakrati are belligerent in nature and try to dominate over each other and in such trial when they come in imbalanced state the operative principle experiences kinetics and due to this purush ( i.e. cognitive principle) experiences His existence . In this way the cognitive  principle comes in qualified state i.e. savikar or sagun state and the cosmic mind begins to function with a desire to become many from one. This is just like awakening from a deep sleep.

4- The cosmic mind thus imagines and vibrates  infinite waves of various wave lengths and the operative principle immediately gives  shape to them. This is like infinite small pieces of simple mirror  put before purush in various angled pattern . The same transcendental cognitive purush is reflected by such mirror like wave pattern  and we see it to be this vast universe in which our earth and it's inhabitants , moon and various planets , solar system/s, galaxies black holes ,dark matter , space , time etc exist. So each and every visible object of this universe is nothing but a ocean of waves. It is clear that the singular cognitive principle is being reflected in the wave patterns and is acting as a witnessing entity only.This implies that this vast universe is nothing but the the thought wave of purush and will remain existent till His thought wave is alive. This is also evident that being a thought wave of cosmic mind it is in side His mind and there is nothing out side it, so there is no scope to treat purush, prakrati and creation to be separate three existences.

5- In the light of this discussion the above quoted self contradictory conclusions automatically lose their existence.

Respectfully,

Dr. T.R. Sukul


Here below is what Nandiji wrote:

Is Consciousness modifiable? Or Is Consciousness unmodifiable?

Namaskar

Dear Brothers and Sisters

“If the Consciousness does not give the Operative Principle a chance to work, then the pure Consciousness remains without any modification.”

 

Conclusion#1 :- It implies that the pure Consciousness is modifiable.

 

“If the operative principle is given a chance to act, it works according to three fundamental modes. That is Prakrti creates differences in this world by modifying the original pure consciousness in three distinctive ways. These three fundamental styles of action are known as gunas in Sanskrit, a term which literally means "binding quality".”

 

Conclusion#2 :- It implies that Prakrti modifies the original pure consciousness in three distinctive ways. Further it implies that the pure Consciousness is modifiable.

 

 “Just what exactly is Consciousness?

First of all Consciousness performs the act of witnessing all events of the universe. It is like a chandelier hanging in a room from the ceiling; many different actions take place under the witnessing light bulb, but the light bulb itself does not undergo change or participate directly in the action it witnesses. It provides the light which makes all the activities possible and "observes" all the activities. It is the "cognitive faculty."”

 

Conclusion#3 :- It implies that the consciousness  performs the act of witnessing all events of the universe. It means the Consciousness is unmodifiable.

 

 

SO ACCORDING TO CONCLUSION#1&2, PURE CONSCIOUSNESS IS MODIFIABLE. WHILE ACORDING TO CONCLUSION#3, CONSCIOUNESS IS WITNESSING FACULTY AND UNMODIFIABLE. THIS IS CONTRADICTING THE PREVIOUS CONCLUSIONS.

 

SO AGAIN WE HAVE FOUND A BIG FAULT IN SHRII SHRII ANANDAMURTIJI’S IDEA AND IDEOLOGY.

Eds note: This below letter is in reply to Manas Nandi's letter titled, "ANOTHER BIG FAULT found in Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji's IDEA & IDEOLOGY (Is Consciouness MODIFIABLE or UNMODIFIABLE???)".  If you want to read Nandi's letter scroll down to Section 4 - Links.

Namaskar.

In my opinion, while trying to understand any theory it is desirable to grasp fundamental conceptual definitions related to it otherwise one may draw incorrect conclusion like above letter of respected brother Manas Nandi.

Most humbly and respectfully I would like all brothers and sisters interested to know Philosophy of Anandamarga,   to consider following conceptual terms of modern science and spiritual science, before going deep in side it.The book "idea and ideology "  as well as "Anand sutram". and many more, written by Rev. Gurudeva Baba Anandamurtiji are the most precious jewels of this philosophy and are flawless . If one feels otherwise it is not their defect but of our own understanding and explanation.

1-   Modern science says :-

    
 (A) This universe / cosmos  was created with a big bang about 13.7 billion years ago in 10^-37  seconds . Having diameter of 93 billion light years it contains 3 to 100x 10²²   stars distributed in 80 billion galaxies.  After  10⁴⁰  years, black wholes, which swallow not only the galaxies but photon even, will dominate the universe. A black hole of mass equal to our sun will vanish in around    2×10⁶⁶  years and a super massive black hole  of 10¹¹ 100 billion)  solar masses will evaporate in around 2x10 ⁹⁹  years. 

--- Now, you imagine such a large time and dimensions of space, can they be regarded as infinite?

   (B)   Scientists are silent to say about , who created this cosmos and what will happen after the last black hole is vanished. They are also confused to define space, time , mass and gravity . The unit of time i.e. 1 second , has been accepted  as the duration of 9,192,631,770   vibrations, created by cesium (Cs) atom. Defining time they only say that it is the interval between two events.

  --- Imagine this frequency in mind  which enables us to measure time as less as
  1/ 9,192,631,770 of a second ?

  (C)     The mathematical quantity known as infinity has been accepted as limitless quantity which is unaffected by any of the mathematical operation i.e. division, multiplication, addition or subtraction.

  ----  Is it not a wonderful quantity?

2- Anandamarga philosophy says:-

(A) One transcendental entity, known in Sanskrit as Brahma( ब्रह्म ) or pure cosmic consciousness created this universe along with space and time, as the numerous thought waves in His cosmic mind. The whole cosmos and its varieties are the ocean of thought wave patterns of different wave lengths. Obviously they all reside in side the cosmic mind and there is nothing named as "out side." All the entities of the cosmos are imaginary to cosmic mind . As their existence is relative to cosmic mind  they  mutually feel as real. The cosmos ( known as chitta of Sagun Brahma in Sanskrit) is bound in space and time and is passing through the cosmic cycle of creation, preservation and destruction. The duty of Sagun Brahma is to provide the opportunities to each and every created entity to get liberation from this relativity of time and space maintaining the process of cosmic cycle. It is obvious that the Sagun Brahma is 'mukta purush' but can not get supreme state of pure consciousness until each and every created entity of the cosmos is liberated. 

(B) Time is the mental measurement of motivity of action. It is not an integral whole but is a continuous flow of discrete intervals.

(C) Person is the entity receiving this motivity of action with the help of mind.

(D) Space is the entity which establishes relation between person and time.

(E) Cosmos is the done I feeling of cosmic mind.

(F) Sagun Brahma is the doer I feeling of cosmic mind.

(G) Cosmic Mind is the existential feeling of cosmic consciousness.

(H) Tarak Brahma is a philosophical idea. Those great souls, who were bound by time  and space and their reactive momenta some time , have liberated themselves by dint of their high grade spiritual practice but continue to maintain their physical bodies at their own sweet will out of their extreme compassion , for the sake guiding  others to the supreme fulfillment .  They leave this earth as soon as they complete their 'samkalp'.

(I) Infinite and immortal is only the pure consciousness and none else. 

Now, let us consider the arguments raised by respected Manas Nandiji.

1- While drawing conclusion( rather confusion) no.1, he has relied upon the term "infinite time" which is absurd as, time may be extremely large but can not be infinite. Extremely large values of time have been illustrated with the scientific terms in point no. 1A,  above whose vastness can be realized in mind by any one . Keeping definition of time in mind  ( pt 1B and 2B) it is easy to understand that time is a mental measurement of motivity of action and both , mind and motivity of action are bound by the relativistic factor "space" hence is subject to vanish. It is therefore clear that the concept of infinite time  has no existence and the entity bound by time is subject to vanish. As Sagun Brahma's duty is to provide opportunities to liberate the created beings so, he will not be liberated  until each atom or unit being of the cosmos is not liberated. This may take large... large , time but it has an end. Therefore "the conclusion 1" of the above letter is baseless and wrong.

2- Conclusion 2, is completely dependent on conclusion 1, and as, conclusion 1 is refuted above so this conclusion 2, automatically looses its existence.

3-  Conclusion 3 also suffers the same defect and is based on conclusion 1 and 2. The logic of more than one infinity he applied can be refuted easily when we contemplate over the definitions of sagun and nirgun brahma along with the mathematical quantity named infinity. Any mathematical operation like addition , subtraction, division, or multiplication  are not effective on infinity. Therefore dividing one transcendental infinite cosmic pure consciousness in to two or more is not possible. In any of the operation , the infinite cosmic consciousness remains the infinite one. Therefore question of two infinities does not arise.

4- Conclusion 4, is the out come of conclusion 3 but conclusion 3 has no existence and is refuted above therefore this is also  false. The letter writer may remove his confusion regarding tarak brahma if he really contemplates the definition of tarak brahma given above.

5- Conclusion 5 is also false as it is extract of all the four false conclusions stated above. Other ideas expressed by the writer are also ridiculous in the light of above discussion and definitions of the philosophical and scientific terms.

     Regarding tarak brahma it is worth mentioning here that He is liberated one and helps others to get liberation and thus also helps sagun brahma as this is the basic duty of sagun brahma. Therefore it is correct to say that He acts as a bridge between sagun and nirgun brahma. Since nirgun has no form and can not be seen by the eyes, but tarak brahma is one to whom we have seen and know intimately by his works & thoughts so He can be contemplated and meditated where as nirgun is not. The intellectual works, scientific, rational and logical thoughts & teachings as  how to implement them into practice along with his love & compassion to His followers unambiguously prove that  Rev. Gurudeva, Baba Anandamurtiji is Tarak Brahma as are Lord Krashna and Lord Shiva.

    " The writer has referred some websites in his letter like 

http://sarkarverse.org/wiki/Ananda_Sutram), http://www.anandamarga.org/articles/brahmacakra.htm,  http://www.anandamarga.org/articles/, http://sarkarverse.org/wiki/  etc. 

should pay attention to their articles and review them in the light of correct  philosophy of Ananda Marga." otherwise people will be misguided by such people who draw incorrect conclusions due to improper knowledge and become confused and also confuse others.

Respectfully,

Dr. T. R. Sukul

Note 1: About Loka Vya'moha Karaka

"People formulated many such theories in the past and are still doing so even today. Such hypocrites want to misguide the people by their tall talks alone... “Loka Vyámoha Káraka.” That is, “They create disease in the minds of the people.” Their aim is not to solve society’s problems. Rather, they are the chief cause for the downfall, retardation and sad plight of human society. The present crisis in today’s civilization is due to them. Their theories are based on the psychology and intellectual extravaganza of the hypocrite. You will certainly encounter many such theories in the social sphere, the economic sphere, and other spheres of life. This is not the problem of a single country, but of the entire intellectual world. Again I repeat that the crisis in civilization today is due to the intellectual extravaganza of these hypocrites, these polished satans." (AFPS-6, Theory and Practice)

The section below demarcated by asterisks is an entirely different topic,
completely unrelated to the above material. It stands on its own as a point of interest.

************************************************************
Closing Their Eyes And Plugging Their Ears,

They Try To Cling To Their Own Irrational Rituals

"The structure of the mind is determined by the nature of its object. If the psychic object is crude, the inter-atomic gaps within the mind decrease in size, and the mind will ultimately refuse to accept anything except its own crude object. For this reason the supporters of crude isms become incapable of accepting the rational ideas of others, and closing their eyes and plugging their ears, they try to cling to their own irrational rituals. Their psychic receptivity is lost due to the superimposition of crude ideation. They do not feel the need for the Vidyá force to exceed the Avidyá force. They say, “Why should I bother about such subtle things. I am quite happy as I am.” Such people, engrossed as they are with materialism, are bound to be reborn in crude material bodies." (AMIWL-8, Cosmic Attraction and Spiritual Cult)

Note: This guideline and critique is directly aimed at the lesbian, gay, and bi-sexual community and the sexual culture of materialism that indulges in sex for sex sake. Such persons live like animals - plunged in degrading propensities. Although they are in human form they are following animal dharma. Their future is not bright. Such an existence is not befitting a human being. Human longing is infinite - instead of indulgine in degrading, finite pleasures, one must contemplate the great. So one is to adopt an ideal human life goading the mind towards Parama Purusa. That is manava dharma, or human dharma.

~  I Have Come On This Earth To Fulfil Your Desire ~

PS Intro: The following four terms are important for understanding this Prabhat Samgiita composition.

[1] Karun’a’: This is when one is pained by seeing another’s suffering and feels, "I should help them get rid from the trouble they are facing." This type of empathetic feeling is karun’a’. For example, suppose you saw one beggar who is suffering. By seeing his pitiful situation then you felt in your heart that "I should help him and remove his suffering – he should get some help right away." This very feeling of the heart towards that suffering beggar is the expression of karuna’.

Suppose a bhakta is suffering in the spiritual realm because of so many problems and difficulties, and they are unable to move ahead in sadhana and devotional life. In such circumstances, Parama Purusa cannot bear to watch His bhaktas go through so much struggle and strife. When devotees are helpless and trying hard to progress in sadhana but their pathway is completely obstructed and they cannot advance in the spiritual sphere or any sphere of life – overcome by various complexes, bondages, and obstacles – then a feeling of deep, deep empathy develops in the mind of Parama Purusa.

This feeling or mind-set, motivated by seeing their suffering, is karun’a’ bha’va. Parama Purusa feels He must rescue them immediately from their spiritual retardation. In that moment, the help He gives to the devotee is the showering of His karun’a’. With His immense feeling of karun’a’, He blesses His devotees and relieves them of their pain and suffering in their devotional life. This is nothing but His divine karun’a’: Wherein Parama Purus’a cares for the devotees and removes their troubles and hindrances so that once again they can move ahead on the path of sadhana. That is the meaning of karun’a’.


[2] Ma'n: This means ego and is one of the eight fetters. "The aśt́a pásha [eight fetters]: ghrńá [hatred], shauṋká [doubt], bhaya [fear], lajjá [shyness], jugupśa [dissemblance], kula [vanity of lineage], shiila [cultural superiority complex] and mána [egotism]. These eight fetters are created by the static state of mind." (PNS-4)


[3] "Pratiśt́há – the desire to make oneself known. A person influenced by [the desire for] pratiśt́há expects respect from everyone, and hankers after name and fame. This mental state can be easily compared with the mental condition of a beggar. The beggar asks money from others, while the person craving for prestige begs others to give him or her respect. [The person desires something that] is really meaningless and possesses no value, something that has been fitly compared to the excrement of a pig." (AV-23, Safeguards against the Defects of Jiṋána and Karma)


[4] Iiśt́a niśt́há: "When people are established in devotion, they attain a state called “iiśt́a niśt́ha” – devotion for one’s goal. In that stage there is but one dominant thought: “Whatever I do, be it social, political or socio-economic service, the motivating thought in my mind will be to please Parama Puruśa”." (AV-8, Please Parama Puruśa through Your Service)


"Esechi toma'r iccha' mato calite,
A'ma'r jiivan-pan' a'ma'r ban'ca'-maran' toma'ri a'loy udbha'site" (PS 2020)

Purport:

O' Parama Purusa, Baba, I have come here on this earth to move according to Your desire. O' my Lord, please grace me so I may illumine my small to big endeavours, my happiness and sadness, my trivial to important actions, my everything from beginning to end of the life, with Your divine effulgence.

Baba, I have come here to move according to Your tenets, wish, and guideline. I have come  in this world to dance according to Your rhythm. From the dawn to dusk of my life, O' Lord, there is not enough nor sufficient time to complete Your task. Have karuna on me so that the work You have entrusted to me - I can fulfil and complete all the duties & responsibilities during this lifetime.

Baba, I have come here on this earth to obey Your command. I do not want any wealth, ma'n, & I do not want pratiśt́há. Please bestow iiśt́a niśt́há on me, so that I can complete / fulfil  all Your work - with the strength of Your blessings. I have come here in this world to fulfil Your wishes - and dance according to Your direction. Baba, please keep me at Your lotus feet...

Be Careful When Seated In Buffalo Cart

"Though it is somewhat off the subject, it is worth pointing out that the buffalo came under man's control a few thousand years after the cow was domesticated. The pure bison variety of buffalo is resistant to domestication, but the water buffalo, because of its lack of speed, has accepted man's dominion for the sake of self-preservation. Since fondness for water is inherent in this variety of bison, their original instinctive tendencies awaken if they see water nearby. In the burning heat of summer, cart-pulling buffalo also will forget their sense of responsibility and take a dip, cart and all, if they see a pond – such happenings are not rare." (Shabda Cayanika - 3, Disc: 15)

MEDICAL WARNING ABOUT GAY:

DIRTY HABIT

Namaskar,
There is a new name for gay men. They are now referred to as MSM, i.e. men who have sex with men (MSM). These MSMs are dying untimely deaths due to disease etc. - All youths should be warned about this so they can avoid such a miserable downfall.

HIV in the United States: At A Glance

Courtesy: CDC Report

Fast Facts

- More than 1.1 million people in the United States are living with HIV infection, and almost 1 in 6 (15.8%) are unaware of their infection.

- Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM), particularly young black/African American MSM, are most seriously affected by HIV.

- CDC estimates that 1,144,500 persons aged 13 years and older are living with HIV infection, including 180,900 (15.8%) who are unaware of their infection1. Over the past decade, the number of people living with HIV has increased, while the annual number of new HIV infections has remained relatively stable. Still, the pace of new infections continues at far too high a level— particularly among certain groups.

- HIV Incidence (new infections): The estimated incidence of HIV has remained stable overall in recent years, at about 50,000 new HIV infections per year2. Within the overall estimates, however, some groups are affected more than others. MSM continue to bear the greatest burden of HIV infection, and among races/ethnicities, African Americans continue to be disproportionately affected.


By Risk Group

Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) of all races and ethnicities remain the population most profoundly affected by HIV.

In 2010, the estimated number of new HIV infections among MSM was 29,800, a significant 12% increase from the 26,700 new infections among MSM in 20082.

Although MSM represent about 4% of the male population in the United States, in 2010, MSM accounted for 78% of new HIV infections among males and 63% of all new infections. MSM accounted for 52% of all people living with HIV infection in 2009, the most recent year these data are available.

In 2010, white MSM continued to account for the largest number of new HIV infections (11,200), by transmission category, followed closely by black MSM (10,600).

The estimated number of new HIV infections was greatest among MSM in the youngest age group. In 2010, the greatest number of new HIV infections (4,800) among MSM occurred in young black/African American MSM aged 13–24. Young black MSM accounted for 45% of new HIV infections among black MSM and 55% of new HIV infections among young MSM overall2.

Since the epidemic began, an estimated 302,148 MSM with an AIDS diagnosis have died, including an estimated 5,909 in 2010.

********************************************
Out Of Ignorance

"When the ancient people were faced with immense obstacles, they would perform sacrificial ceremonies for the propitiation of the gods, for they were not acquainted with the scientific methods to surmount those obstacles. They thought that there was no difference between the smoke produced by burning ghee in fire and the clouds in the sky. They were unaware that the former is composed of unburnt carbon-particles of ghee and the latter are basically a combination of hydrogen and oxygen which appears to be blackish under certain circumstances. Even today if people misuse ghee by burning it in a sacrificial fire, they certainly do it out of total ignorance." (AMIWL-8, Struggle and Progress)

~ Baba, You Have Decorated All With Various Colours ~

"Raung-be-raunge saba're sa'ja'yecho..." (PS 388)

Purport:

Baba, You have decorated all with various colours. You have bedecked all according to Your choice. You have created the red colour with Your mental colour, and You have given blue to the distant sky. You have given green-ness to the trees and creepers. You have filled minds with green beauty. You have infused sweetness in the human mind. You have filled the human mind with love, affection, and sacrifice. With the stroke of Your brush You have brought humans very close to Parama Purusa...

Example of Bad Work

EXAMPLE OF BAD WORK

Namaskar,
On the path of tantra, we must maintain the sanctity of Guru’s photo. On this matter, there must not be any compromise. That is the mandate as per Caryacarya.

“You shall protect, in all respects and at all costs, the dignity of your treasures and the sanctity of your flag, of your emblem, and of the pratikrti [photo] of Márga Guru.” (Caryacarya, Part 1, Treasures of Ananda Marga)

So Guru’s photo is to be safeguarded and protected in all conditions and circumstances – without fail. On this matter, every disciples of Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji must be very strict.

LOOK WHAT RECENTLY HAPPENED

See this below recent newspaper article about Ananda Purnima. Sadguru Baba’s photo was published along with an article about Him. This is not the first time this has happened. Now it is our duty to abide by Guru’s guidelines and be strict on this matter and right the course. That is our dharmic duty. Otherwise this dirty and sinful approach will be handed down to the next generation(s).

IT IS A DOUBLE SIN:

PUBLICLY DISPLAYED AND SLOPPY WAY PHOTO IS PRINTED

For bhaktas, Baba's photo is beautiful. Yet those who printed this photo did so in a sloppy and gross manner. Thus it is a double loss. Firstly the Baba's photo should not be publicly displayed. And secondly, they have warped the photo in such a way that Baba's face is distorted. Nobody smiles in this manner unless they have had facial reconstructive surgery or some related medical issue. This is not Baba's smile. Any true devotee can easily recognise this. They have distorted and manipulated this image. That is why it is a double tragedy, as just explained. Here is a call for action that we should educate others so this type of heinous blunder, and double sin, is not repeated. Baba's photo is beautiful and the sanctity must be maintained. The image should not be distorted nor publicly displayed

HIS DISCOURSES CAN BE PUBLISHED IN THE NEWSPAPER

BUT NOT HIS PHOTO

There are various newspapers and periodicals in India and around the globe that wish to print news about Ananda Marga, and, on occasion, Baba’s discourses as well; and we should support this endeavour. It is fine for our Ananda Marga schools and service projects etc to be printed in a newspaper. And no doubt, as time advances, there will be more and more requests.

The critical factor, however, is that Baba’s photo must not be printed in the newspaper along with news about Ananda Marga. We must never allow this. This is entirely wrong and we should never allow or permit such things in the future.

Why? Because newspapers get tossed on the ground, left on the train, or placed in the garbage bin etc. Plus, food gets spilled on them, dogs urinated on them, and so forth.

So we must never allow Baba’s photo to be printed in the newspaper because His photo will not be given due reverence.

“You shall protect, in all respects and at all costs, the dignity of your treasures and the sanctity of your flag, of your emblem, and of the pratikrti [photo] of Márga Guru.” (Caryacarya, Part 1, Treasures of Ananda Marga)

Namaskar,
In Him,
Sudarshan

Hyderabad RM: Many Wrong Things Done

Baba

This email contains two distinct sections:

HYDERABAD RM:

MANY WRONG THINGS DONE

Namaskar,
Here are a few observations from a marriage that was recently performed:

1. As per Caryacarya, the pratiika should be hung in an elevated position in the marriage hall. But instead at this recent marriage ceremony, the pratiika and Baba’s pratikiriti [photo] were kept side by side on a low table. So this is a double wrong.

Firstly, the pratiika should be displayed in a prominent location in the marriage hall for all to see, but this was not done. Secondly, Guru's photo should not be on display at our Ananda Marga marriage ceremonies, yet they had it on display. But in Caryacarya it only states to show the pratiika; there is no mention of Guru's photo.

Most probably this is because many non-margiis attend our Ananda Marga marriage ceremonies and they will lack the proper reverence and regard for Guru. Seeing His photo on display, they may offer a disparaging remark, thereby committing sin. Or they may be curious about the photo and start gossiping about it with others in a negative manner. In all such cases, it goes against our ethic, and it is against the sanctity towards Ista.

Top of all, we should follow Caryacarya and display the pratiika in a highly visible prominent location and not have Guru's photo on display. Thus, Guru's system was not followed at this marriage ceremony. (Note: For more about this topic see the link appended below.)

2. After the public oath, the bride and groom, should exchange garlands. But before that at this wedding, the local custom of wearing a thread on the head was permitted. Since Wts of the bride’s party took responsibility of conducting marriage, others remained silent. Ac Yatishvarananda and and other senior margiis exclaimed that the marriage was not yet over as per Caryacarya. So the local custom was stopped. Then garlands were exchanged by the bridge and groom. Then Sindur and Tilak were put on.

3. Krsnasundarananda RS Bangalore was assigned the responsibility of making all the announcements. He was announcing in Hindi, not Telugu. But the main problem was that no explanation was given about the Ananda Marga marriage system. So the public, i.e. non-margii attendees – was not aware about the proceedings and could not understand what happened in the hall.

DETAILED REPORT

Marriage and society building are important elements for spreading Ananda Marga ideology. Naturally then, our marriage ceremonies should strictly adhere to Ananda Marga teachings.

Here following are some observations from a marriage that was performed on 13 April 2014, along with some of the challenges the families faced due to the ongoing group crisis.

The bridegroom, A. Chidambaram, is an active and committed margii in Hyderabad who in the past convinced his elder brother to marry as per the AM system. Chidambaram supports Wts of all factions of the present AMPS.

The bride is the daughter of a senior Ananda Margii, whose name is Shrii Narayan'a. Narayan'a follows AMPS of Ranchi administration, but he feels that all factions of AMPS should be united.

When the marriage proposal was in the works, Narayan'a proposed to DS Dada Satyadevanandji of Hyderabad - who is also RS Mumbai - that the marriage would be performed at the Hyderabad jagrti. He further informed DS Dada that Chidambaramji would invite Wts of other factions like Kolkata and 3rd Front to attend the marriage function. Ac Satyadevanandji replied that ghrii margis of all factions can attend the function, but that Wts of factions other than Ranchi administration are not welcome.

Narayan'a Dada was very disappointed to hear this and told the news to Chidambaramji's family members, i.e. elder brother, mother, younger brother. Shrii Narayan'a also expressed how he disagreed with  Satyadevanandji’s  decision.

Finally, Narayan'a dada decided to hold the marriage function at a commercial hall in Hyderabad city - not at the jagrti itself. Because he did not want to follow any restrictions with regards to whom could be invited to the wedding.

Furthermore, Narayan'aji consulted about Dadaji that  how the marriage would be conducted, i.e. who will be the priests, and who will lead akhanda kiirtan before the marriage etc.

DS Dada told that Ranchi faction's Wts will organise and perform the marriage function. The priests will be selected and akhanda kiirtan will be conducted by them - the Ranchi adm. Chidambaramji's elder brother informed Narayan'a dada that a Wt Dada will be selected by the groom side for working as a priest. This was accepted by DS of Hyderabad.

The following Wts were on the bride side were present: Ac Priyatosananda, Ac Krsnasundarananda, Karim Nagar DS, Mehebubnagar MU in-charge, Ac Satyadevananda, Rtambhara didi, & DSL Mehebubnagar.

The following Wts were on the groom's side: Ac Abhayashankarananda, Ac Divyacetanananda, Ac Yatishvarananda, Ac Vandanananda, Ac Soumayananda, Didi Nitishuddha & Didi Suchitalekha.

On the wedding day, from 7a to 10a there was 3 hours of akhanda kiirtan. Then collective iishvara pranidhana was performed. DS Dada of Hyderabad sang Prabhat Samgiita, kiirtana, and led samgacchadhvam, and Guru puja. After collective meditation was over, for svadhyaya Ac Priyatosananda talked about kiirtan.

At about 11:30am, it was announced on behalf of the bridegroom side, that elders and relatives of the groom, Ac Yatishvarananda & Shrii Narayan Panda from Vishakapatnam, would come over to the dais.

Elders and relatives of the bride, Rtambar Didi, and DS of Hyderabad, and Bhuma Reddy were also invited to come over to the dais.

The priest for the bridegroom was Ac Yatishvarananda, and the priest for the bride was Avadhutika Ananda Rtambar Acarya.

Bhuma Reddy read out the oaths for both sides in Telugu since both bride and groom know Telugu. The public oath was taken in Telugu by Bhuma Reddy.

DEVIATIONS OBSERVED

1. As per Caryacarya, the pratiika should be hung in an elevated position in the marriage function hall. But the pratiika and Baba's pratikiriti were kept side by side on a table.

2. After the public oath, the bride and groom, should exchange garlands. But before that at this wedding, the local custom of wearing a thread on the head was permitted. Since Wts of the bride's party took responsibility of conducting marriage, others remained silent. Ac Yatishvarananda and and other senior margiis exclaimed that the marriage was not yet over as per Caryacarya. So the local custom was stopped. Then garlands were exchanged by the bridge and groom. Then Sindur and Tilak were put on.

3. Krsnasundarananda RS Bangalore was assigned the responsibility of making all the announcements. He was announcing in Hindi, not Telugu. But the main problem was that no explanation was given about the Ananda Marga marriage system. So the public, i.e. non-margii attendees - was not aware about the proceedings and could not understand what happened in the hall. 

4. The Wts of Ranchi faction did not talk with Wts of other factions, although Wts of other factions were open to talking with them. Grhii margiis are followers of Wts in Hyderabad.

5. Shrii Narayan'a Dada was forced to spend RS 30,000 extra since the jagrti gate was closed for Wts of other factions.

Namaskar,
in Him,
Hanumant Rao

Note: LOOK WHAT RECENTLY HAPPENED

On 14 May 2014 in "The Avenue Mail" newspaper of Jamshedpur, Sadguru Baba’s photo was published  along with an article about Him. This is not the first time this has happened. Now it is our duty to abide by Guru’s guidelines and be strict on this matter and right the course. That is our dharmic duty. Otherwise this dirty and sinful approach will be handed down to the next generation(s).

Dangerous Worship

Ananda Marga philosophy says, "Those who wrongly worship Parama Purus'a in the form of clay, iron, or other material substances, are ultimately transformed in Prakrtiliina*. And those who run around externally in hopes of finding Parama Purusa outside, they also be come Prakrtiliina." (15 May 1982, Hindi Section)

Note:  Those who are searching Parama Purusa Baba in one or another holy land - like Tiljla during so-called mahaprayan - should be especially careful about this above teaching.

* Prakrtiliina= This is one type of microvita which is under punishment of reaping its own negative samskaras.

~ I Do Pranam to You Hundreds of Times ~

"Toma're ja'na'i pran'a'm shato shato..." (PS 1300)

Purport:

O’ Parama Purusa, O’ Cir Maha’n, I do pranam to You hundreds of times - again and again. You are that eternal and great Entity. O’ Shubhavrata, You are the One who has taken the vow to always do auspicious endeavours. O’ my Lord, by Your grace I am not encumbered by any pride, nor am I concerned about my own ego. Keeping aside all vanity, I surrender unto Your lotus feet. I do pranam again and again; I do sastaunga pranam [1] to You hundreds and hundreds of times. Whatever I may be in front of other people, but, O’ my Lord, in front of You my mind is simple and straight like an arrow. You are everything for me and I surrender completely at Your alter.

O’ Cir Amaliin, You are that pure and blemishless Entity. O’ Ana’sakta, You are perfect in Your vaera’jina - renunciation. You are the source of all auspicious thoughts and ideation; You are the embodiment of all hope and aspirations. O’ my Dearmost, I desire to have You at Your lotus feet; I desire to remain under Your shelter.

O’ Parama Purusa Baba, with Your otayoga [2], You fill everyone’s heart. You make a personal link with each and every unit being – with each and every jiiva. You come in the depths of my heart. Baba, with Your protayoga, You look after and care for everyone collectively. You watch Your entire creation at all times. Baba, Your compassion & Your causeless love always remains ever alive within each and every person.

O’ My Lord, O’ Baba, You are my everything, I surrender at Your lotus feet again, and again, and again– countless times…


NOTES FOR PRABHAT SAMGIITA #1300:

[1] Sastaunga Pranam: As we all do sastaunga pranam multiple times each and every day - before and after sadhana, before kiirtan, after Guru Sakash, before sleep etc - then it is helpful to know what Baba has given about this special mudra. In these below guidelines Baba directs us that sastaunga pranam represents both simplicity and surrender.

Baba says, "Sa's't'a'unga pran'a'ma is a symbol of simplicity. It is to be done only to Ma'rga Guru. It signifies surrender to the ideology." (1)

Baba says, "Prostration is called sas't'aunga pranama...Of the five sensory organs (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin), one, the skin, can be omitted, and of the five motor organs (vocal chord, hands, legs, excretory and genital organ), one, the vocal chord can be omitted. This leaves the eight constituent parts. And the prostration made with these eight body-parts is called sas't'aunga pranama." (2)

Here following is the etymological meaning of the term sas't'aunga.

         sa    +   as't'a  +  aunga    = sas't'aunga
        (with)    (eight)    (parts)  = with eight parts

Thus, as Baba tells us in the above quote, "the prostration made with these eight body-parts is called sas't'aunga pranama."

As we all know, sas't'aunga pranam is only done to Guru, not to anyone else.


[2] Ota-Prota Yoga: In Subhasita Samgraha part 17 (Gwalior DMC in 1984), Baba has given the meaning of ota yoga and prota yoga in English. Ota yoga is "individual tactuality" between Parama Purusa and the unit entity; and, prota yoga is "collective tactuality" between Parama Purusa and all the entities, simultaneously.

The above definition is exclusively describing the intimate relation between Parama Purusa and His jiivas through His ota & prota yoga. This same devotional term has been explained in a slightly different manner in the following discourse.

Baba says, "What is ota-yoga? He as the Cosmic Father has a direct relationship with each and every entity of this world...All are His affectionate children. This is His ota-yoga. Each and every entity, animate or inanimate, has a direct link with Him. Just as ota yoga means the Cosmic Father's relationship with each entity individually, prota yoga means His relationship with all collectively." (3)
