********************************************* Antidote of Food Poisoning
Baba says, "Antidotes of poison - green turmeric, spinach leaves,
basil...mainly black basil and secondly white basil or any kinds of
basil." (SC-20 Bangla, disc 156)
Baba says, "If some negative effect is going on due to food
poisoning or because of eating poisonous fish, then without any
delay a sufficient quantity of spinach leaves should be eaten and by
that way the poison will be antidoted." (SC-20)

Shabda Cayanika.

WOMAN’S MAHAPRAYAN IN RAJASTHAN:
MPD #16
Namaskar,
Here is the scene from my Rajasthan where they are performing the
mahaprayan (death ceremony) of one woman. In the Jain tradition,
they parade the person through town to the cremation ground whereby
the deceased is in an upright, seated position. That way the
townspeople can see who died.
As you can see, they carefully wrap white cloth around the body of
the deceased - including the forehead - in order to ensure she
remains seated upright. No one should think this person is merely
injured, and still breathing. She is dead; this is the occasion of
her mahaprayan, and the white cloth is used to keep her propped up
in one grand chair so all can see her.
This is in stark contrast to most traditions were the deceased is
carried in a lying position with their face to the sky. One other
point of note is that people are said to acquire virtue for touching
/ carrying the dead body and that is one reason why many rally
around and are eager to participate.
Finally, family, friends, and well-wishers are paying their last
respects prior to bringing the deceased to the cremation ground.
Final preparations are being done.
And the newspaper announces this as a mahaprayan - as that is the
second to last word in the heading of the article. So the mahaprayan
program is common for ordinary citizens in my Rajasthan. But in my
Rajasthan nobody does the mahaprayan of Lord Shiva or Lord Krsna.
So no one should naively think that the mahaprayan program is
something glorious only to be used in a very special manner - for
Taraka Brahma. The mahaprayan program is for the death of any common
or unknown person who has made his departure from this world. That
is why this mahaprayan is not used for Taraka Brahma because He did
not depart - He is the eternal Parama Purusa. This is never done for
Lord Shiva and Lord Krsna. So the mahaprayan program is just for
ordinary humans, i.e. mortals. About this there should not be any
confusion.
And as we know, in our Ananda Marga, there is no such thing as a
yearly death ceremony or annual mahaprayan program.
"The period of mourning should not extend beyond twelve days."
(Caryacarya-1, Shraddha Ceremony)
Sadguru never dies - even those getting initiated today in Ananda
Marga will accept Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji as Guru. So we must
think deeply - must contemplate this matter. Baba is Sadguru and
eternally present. We must think how far it is just to observe the
mahaprayan (death) of that entity?
Namaskar,
in Him,
Champalal Sethi

************************************************************* Who Is Intelligent
"Undeveloped human beings consider themselves to be very intelligent
and thus at every step they invite innumerable obstacles in the
material world. Later on, after climbing some rungs up the ladder of
evolution, they realize form the core of their hearts the hollowness
of their psychic capabilities. It is the natural rule of the
universe that those who possess immense knowledge are quite
conscious of their intellectual limitations, whereas people with
superficial knowledge think just the opposite. The genuine way of
learning for seekers of knowledge is to consider always that they
know nothing." (AMIWL-10, The Cardinal Spirit of Action and the
Supreme Stance of Devotion)

POST-OPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS OF CIRCUMCISION
Namaskar,
Herein please find a video of a tragic case study of an infant that
died due to hemorrhaging (i.e. blood loss) from the circumcision
procedure. The short 2min video reviews the medical reports and
interviews the parents. It is an informative but not graphic
portrayal.
Also read important information from a doctors group about the
various harmful complications that often arise from circumcision.
OUTLINE OF HARMFUL COMPLICATIONS FROM CIRCUMCISION
(Courtesy of Doctors Opposing Circumcision)
The immediate postoperative complications of circumcision may be
classified as urinary retention, meatitis, meatal ulceration, meatal
stenosis, skin tags, adhesions, skin bridges, concealed penis, phimosis,
and miscellaneous complications. These complications are iatrogenic.
Urinary Retention
Circumcision sometimes results in urinary retention1 with possible
obstructive uropathy.2 Bandages used in ritual circumcision may cause
urinary retention.3,4 The plastic ring portion of the Plastibell® may
also cause urinary retention,5 which may result in a ruptured bladder,6
renal failure,7 or interruption of circulation in the lower
extremities.8,9 Urinary retention caused other complications that led to
death in one reported case.10 Urinary retention is not seen in
non-circumcised intact boys.
Adhesions and Skin-Bridges
The first step in the genital cutting of newborn boys is separation of
the inner surface of the foreskin from the glans penis, to which it is
fused at birth. The tearing, which Gracely-Kilgore (1984) compared with
“skinning a squirrel,”11 leaves the surface of the glans penis and the
inner lining of the foreskin raw. Newborn circumcision wounds are not
sutured, so the residual foreskin heals wherever it falls. The residual
foreskin may heal together with the glans penis, which results in
adhesions that may form a skin bridge,11,12 resulting in tethering.1
Gracely-Kilgore reports that 15 percent of boys seen in her practice had
adhesions and three percent required surgical correction.11 Adhesions
may require surgical separation by a urologic specialist.13 Adhesions
are not seen in non-circumcised intact boys.
Meatitis, meatal ulceration, and meatal stenosis are pathology only seen
in circumcised boys who have been deprived of the protective foreskin.
The connection between circumcision and these iatrogenic pathologies has
been known at least since 1921.14 The exposure of the unprotected glans
penis to the ammoniacal diaper (nappie) is generally believed to be the
cause of inflammation and ulceration.14,15 Persad et al. (1995),
however, have suggested that ischemia of the glans penis, caused by the
severing of the frenular artery at circumcision, may be the etiologic
factor.16 The ulceration may eventually result in the formation of scar
tissue, restricting the opening of the urethra. Leitch (1970) reported 8
cases of meatal ulcer and 3 cases of meatal stenosis in a series of 200
circumcisions for an incidence of 5.5 percent.17 A meatotomy may be
required to open the urethra.18-19 Meatal complications are not seen in
non-circumcised intact boys.
Urinary Tract Infection
Several studies find that more than 50 percent of urinary tract
infections (UTI) occur within 12-14 days after ritual
circumcision.20-22.
Post-circumcision Phimosis
Oddly enough, circumcision, which is touted to prevent phimosis,
actually causes phimosis.22,23 When the circumcision scar forms beyond
the glans penis, a phimotic ring results, causing phimosis. Blalock et
al. (2003) reported an incidence of 2.9 percent in circumcised boys.23
Leich reported that 11 out of 200 required recircumcision to correct
post-circumcision phimosis.17.
Inconspicuous Buried, Trapped, or Concealed Penis
This iatrogenic condition occurs secondary to circumcision.24-30 A second surgery usually is necessary to effect a repair.28-30.
Keloid Formation
Keloids are an overgrowth of scar tissue. Keloids are reported after
circumcision.31-33 They require surgical removal and repair.31-33.
Circulation Problems, Ischemia, Necrosis, and Gangrene
Circumcision severs arteries and veins including the frenular artery
that supplies the glans penis,16 so it is not surprising that
circulation problems are reported after circumcision. Gangrene of the
penis,34-36 and of the glans penis,37,38 have been reported.
Miscellaneous Complications
Miscellaneous post-operative complications include chordee,39 inclusion
cysts,40,41 lymphedema,40,41 neuromas,42 sub-cutaneous mass,43 and
cancer.44
SENIOR ACARYA DIARY ON CIRCUMCISION
Following is Baba's guideline from Senior Acarya
Diary where He clearly states that circumcision is not done in
Ananda Marga. This is not one of our accepted practices.
Instead, after reaching puberty the foreskin should be pulled
back. If for any reason, the foreskin cannot be pulled back,
then the below process should be done. Be aware that from
infancy up to puberty, there is no need to pull back the
foreskin.
CARYACARYA Part 2 - BANGLA EDITION
In the Bengali edition of Caryacarya part 2 and point #2 of Sixteen Points, Baba simply gives the instruction to pull back the foreskin. That is point #2 of Sixteen Points - there is no option given for circumcision.
Note: Beware that from
infancy up to puberty, there is no need to pull back the
foreskin.
CIRCUMCISION:
A DOGMATIC RITUAL THAT HAS NO PLACE IN ANANDA MARGA
And here below Baba further classifies
circumcision as a dogmatic ritual that has no place in our
Ananda Marga this as a dogma:
"Certain practices were not originally religious rituals, but
traditions or customs. Long ago the Jews started practising
circumcision. When Moses converted some of his contemporaries to
Judaism, and later when Mohammed converted some local people to
Islam, neither prophet dared to instruct their new followers to
discard the old customs they followed, consequently the old
customs continued after their conversion." (PNS-21, How to Unite
Human Society)
So circumcision is nothing but a holdover custom from thousands
of years; it not based on science or rationality. And it was
adopted by the Semitic religions. Thus this harmful tradition
has just been blindly passed on from one community to the next.

THE IMMEDIATE COMPLICATIONS OF CIRCUMCISION
& MORE
Namaskar,
Here is one video (below) that details the process of one infant getting
circumcised. The child is loudly crying and suffering. This is typical
of circumcision whereby in the religious communities anesthesia is not
used.
In addition, please find important and key information from medical
professionals and texts from our Ananda Marga literature showing how we
do not support the dogma of circumcision.
MEDICAL HISTORY OF CIRCUMCISION (Courtesy of Video: Infant Circumcision Operation)
Infant circumcision was taken up in the United States, Australia and the
English-speaking parts of Canada, South Africa, New Zealand and to a
lesser extent in the United Kingdom. There are several hypotheses to
explain why infant circumcision was accepted in the United States about
the year 1900. The germ theory of disease elicited an image of the human
body as a conveyance for many dangerous germs, making the public "germ
phobic" and suspicious of dirt and bodily secretions. The penis became
"dirty" by association with its function, and from this premise
circumcision was seen as preventative medicine to be practised
universally. In the view of many practitioners at the time, circumcision
was a method of treating and preventing masturbation. Aggleton wrote
that John Harvey Kellogg viewed male circumcision in this way, and
further "advocated an unashamedly punitive approach." Circumcision was
also said to protect against syphilis, phimosis, paraphimosis,
balanitis, and "excessive venery" (which was believed to produce
paralysis). Gollaher states that physicians advocating circumcision in
the late nineteenth century expected public scepticism, and refined
their arguments to overcome it.
Although it is difficult to determine historical circumcision rates, one
estimate of infant circumcision rates in the United States holds that
32% of newborn American boys were being circumcised in 1933. Laumann et
al. reported that the prevalence of circumcision among US-born males was
approximately 70%, 80%, 85%, and 77% for those born in 1945, 1955,
1965, and 1971 respectively. Xu reported that the prevalence of
circumcision among US-born males was 91% for males born in the 1970s and
84% for those born in the 1980s. Between 1981 and 1999, National
Hospital Discharge Survey data from the National Center for Health
Statistics demonstrated that the infant circumcision rate remained
relatively stable within the 60% range, with a minimum of 60.7% in 1988
and a maximum of 67.8% in 1995. A 1987 study found that the most
prominent reasons US parents choose circumcision were "concerns about
the attitudes of peers and their sons' self concept in the future,"
rather than medical concerns. However, a later study speculated that an
increased recognition of the potential benefits of neonatal circumcision
may have been responsible for the observed increase in the US rate
between 1988 and 2000. A report by the Agency for Healthcare Research
and Quality placed the 2005 national circumcision rate at 56%.
THE IMMEDIATE COMPLICATIONS OF CIRCUMCISION (Courtesy of Doctors Opposing Circumcision)
The immediate complications of circumcision may be classified as
hemorrhage, infection, surgical mishap, other miscellaneous
complications, and death.
Bleeding
The foreskin is highly vascularized,1 so hemorrhage is a particular
problem and risk when the foreskin is cut. An artery that passes through
the frenulum to provide blood to the glans penis is in danger of being
severed.2 Williams & Kapila (1993) report bleeding to be the most
common problem associated with circumcision.3
Special clamps are used to crush the skin to provide hemostasis. Old
clamps may be worn, deformed, and fail to provide adequate crushing and
hemostasis.4 When using the Plastibell® device, failure to tie the
string tightly may result in bleeding.5
When a newborn is circumcised, there is great danger from bleeding
because the prepuce is highly vascularized and because an infant’s body
contains only 85ml/kg of blood.6 With so little total blood volume, a
small loss of blood may cause exsanguination, hypovolemia, hypovolemic
shock, and death.7-9 The coroner of Dade County, Florida reported the
death of an infant from hemorrhage.7 Hiss et al. reported a hemorrhage
followed by death.8 The coroner of British Columbia reported the death
of a one-month-old infant from bleeding, exsanguination, hypovolemic
shock, and multiple organ failure.9
Infection
Infection may range from the trivial to the life-threatening systemic infection.3
Life-threatening infections, includind septicemia and meningitis,10,11
tuberculosis,12,13 wound diphtheria,14 staphylococcus,15 and
streptococcus,16 pyoderma17, impetigo,18,19 and scrotal abscess with
salmonella infection,20 also have been reported. Scurlock &
Pemberton (1977) reported a death from meningitis.11 The coroner of
Ontario reported the death of a two-week-old infant from infection with
Escherichia coli, intravascular coagulopathy, and hypoxic-ischemic
encephalopathy.21
There are several reports of a significant increase in urinary tract infection (UTI) after ritual circumcision.22-24
Necrotizing fasciitis25-27 and Fournier’s gangrene (gangrene of the
scrotum) have been reported.28 Such infections require extensive
debridement (surgical excision) of infected tissue, if the patient is to
survive.25-28
Circumcision infections may be spread by hospital workers.16,29,30,32,33
Hospitals are increasingly infected with antibiotic-resistant
pathogens. St. Catherines’s Hospital on Long Island experienced an
outbreak of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among
circumcised boys in the hospital nursery.31 Any invasive procedure
increases the risk of MRSA infection in the newborn nursery.32 Boys who
are circumcised have a twelve-times greater risk of CA-MRSA infection.33
Surgical Accident
Circumcision is an imprecise surgical procedure. It is difficult to
judge the amount of skin to excise. One problem is the removal of excess
skin,3 which may denude the entire shaft of the penis and require an
immediate corrective operation by a urologic specialist.34-36
Circumcision may also result in injuries to the urethra, including
urethral fistula,37-39 which requires corrective surgery by a urologic
specialist. A case of bivalving the glans penis caused by inserting the
scissors into the urethra has been reported.40
Due to the difficulty in judging the correct amount of skin to excise,
sometimes so little skin is removed that the penis does not appear to be
circumcised. This may generate parental complaints and requests for a
re-circumcision, although there is no medical indication for the second
circumcision. Leith (1970) reported that, in his study of 200
circumcisions, 19 were recircumcisions.41 There is danger of painful
erections if too much skin is removed.
More serious surgical mishaps include excision of part of the penis42-45
or glans penis,46-48 necrosis of the glans penis,48 necrosis of the
penis caused by electrocautery devices,49-51 and total ablation or
amputation of the penis.52
Death
Death may be the result of either bleeding7-9 or infection.11,12,15,21
There is no central registry of circumcision deaths, so the incidence of
death from circumcision is controversial. Williams & Kapila (1993)
characterize death as “rare.”3 Gairdner (1949), however, reported 16
deaths annually in Britain in the 1940s.53 Circumcision deaths may be
attributed to bleeding or infection rather than the underlying
circumcision. Few doctors are willing to acknowledge death from an
elective, unnecessary, non-therapeutic, allegedly “minor,” surgical
procedure. Gellis (1978) estimated there are more deaths from
circumcision than from cancer of the penis (which would mean more than
200 deaths per year).54 (Prevention of penile cancer is not a valid
excuse for circumcising. See Chapter 3.) Baker (1979) argued that there
are at least 229 deaths per year in the United States from
circumcision.55 Bollinger (2010) estimates 114 deaths in the United
States annually from circumcision-related causes.56
Miscellaneous
Miscellaneous immediate complications of circumcision include
life-threatening pulmonary embolism,57 apnea and projectile
vomiting,58,59 tachycardia and heart failure,60 pneumothorax,61 and
gastric rupture.62
ANANDA MARGA STAND ON CIRCUMCISION
Here below are two documents from our Ananda Marga
literature that clearly show that Ananda Marga does not support the
dogma of circumcision.
#1: From Senior Acarya Diary
#2: From Ananda Marga Social and Spiritual Practices
Summary: By the above two documents, it is very clear that Ananda Marga is wholly against the procedure of circumcision.
HOW CIRCUMCISION IS DONE (Courtesy of Video: Infant Circumcision Operation)
A dorsal slit is necessary to slit the foreskin open to open the
preputial cavity. After the foreskin has been cut open the bell can be
inserted and placed on the glans.In order to apply the clamp the
foreskin is grabbed with hemostats as the the bell and the glans have to
be maneuvered through the bevel hole.
The arms of the bell are here maneuvered through the bottom of the bevel
hole in the base plate. As soon as the bell arms are through the base
plate is worked down over the secured foreskin and the plate is seated
onto the bell. The top plate is swung around so that it sits over the
base plate and the arms of the bell are lifted onto the yoke.
Now the nut is tightened down as far as possible, thereby crushing the
foreskin between the bell (cone) and base plate. Tightening the clamp
forces the rim of the bell down against the frenulum, which responds by
either stretching or by tearing or bleeding.
With the scalpel blade the crushed foreskin is excised against the bell
at the base plate and bell junction. All remaining shreds of foreskin
above the plate are removed.
Now the nut can be loosened releasing the bell arms from the yoke.
Removal of the clamp allows the bell arms to drop back down through the
plate. Now the penis is circumcised.
VIDEO
Here is a link to a video that clearly details the
process of circumcision and shows how much pain and discomfort the baby
must endure. It is an emotionally moving video.
WRONGLY PRINTED IN ENGLISH CARYACARYA BOOK
Unfortunately, the publishers have wrongly printed the English edition
of Caryacarya part 2. Because in that book it states that circumcision
is a viable option in Ananda Marga. But that is wrong. This book must be
corrected at the earliest - accompanied by public announcment / errata

Note 1: REPLY TO AC JINANANANDA AVT
In his recent letter, Dada Jinananandji was asking for medical facts against the practice of circumcision.

but also many African countries, parts of Maharlika ... They might
need a sound explanation on the negative effects of circumcision. any

MAHAPRAYAN OF TOM, DICK, HARRY
& EVEN JOHN DOE ~ Part 3 ~
Namaskar,
Here below is a public announcement in the newspaper about the
mahaprayan of a British television actor. Using the term
"mahaprayan" to signify the death of a human being 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.
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. 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.
The term mahaprayan is highlighted in purple, i.e. the last word of
the heading of the article. If you type this in as a Google search
and you will see it there printed as well.
The last word of the title of the above newspaper article is the term 'mahaprayan' in Bengali script:
Here again it should be emphasized that the term mahaprayan
means the death of an ordinary human - this is the common usage
of the word.
Following is more about the deceased.
Courtesy of the New York Times: Rik Mayall, an actor, comedian and writer whose work
on “The Young Ones” and other television series helped define
alternative comedy in Britain in the 1980s, died on Monday at
his home in London. He was 56. Brunskill Management, which represents him, announced
the death but did not specify the cause. Mr. Mayall was in a
coma for several days in 1998 after being injured while riding
a quad bike, a four-wheeled vehicle popular in Britain, but he
resumed his career shortly afterward and had been working
until recently. Mr. Mayall was best known for his role on “The Young
Ones,” an anarchic and frequently surreal sitcom about four
college students sharing a dilapidated house. He played a
sociology student and would-be anarchist. He was a creator of
the show and one of its writers. “The Young Ones” attracted a
devoted following when it was shown on BBC from 1982 to 1984.
In the United States it was seen on MTV in 1985 and later on
PBS, Comedy Central and BBC America.
THEY NEVER LIKE TO ADMIT THEIR HYPOCRISY
Unfortunately when this point is raised then those in Tiljala
never accept that mahaprayan is merely a death ceremony. So
this is their hypocrisy. Mahaprayan is a death ceremony that is
what their annual fake mahaprayan (MPD) is also - a death
ceremony.

== 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.
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,
TRS
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

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
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.
Baba (Note: If you arrived here to read Nandi's lettter please scroll all the way down to the bottom of this blog post - thank you. - Eds) This email contains four distinct sections:

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 in10-37seconds . Having diameter of 93 billion light years it contains3 to 100x 1022 stars distributed in 80 billion galaxies. After1040years,
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 2×1066years and a super massive black hole of1011100 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
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.

तुमि आमारे चाओ ना इहा जानी
भावार्थ
हेे परम पुरुष मैं तुम्हे बहुत प्यार करता हूं और चाहता हूं कि तुम मेरे
निकट आ जाओ इसलिये मैने हृदय में तुम्हारे लिये एक मंच तैयार कर लिया है।
मैं लगातार रो रहा हूं फिर भी तुम नहीं आ रहे हो अतः अब यह सोचने को विवश
हूं कि तुम मुझे सचमुच प्यार नहीं करते। फिर भी निराश होकर एक दूर की आशा
बनी है कि शायद भूल से ही मेरी ओर आ जाओ। ए बाबा, मैं बड़ी ही आशाऔर
पूर्वानुमान से ही तुम्हारे आने की प्रतीक्षा में दिन और घंटे गिन रहा हूं।
ए दिव्य सत्ता, तुम्हारे आगमन की तैयारी में मैंने स्वागत की सभी चीजें
जुटा ली हैं। भव्य स्वागत के लिये अर्पण सामग्री को थाल में सजा लिया है।
मैंने अपने हृदय के प्यार से भरकर अनेक फूलों को एक माला में पिरो लिया है
और कमरे को अपने हृदय की मधुर भावनाओं और प्यार के साथ सुगंधित चंदन की महक
से भलीभाॅंति सजा लिया है। यह सब व्यवस्थायें केवल तुम्हारे लिये हैं। ए
बाबा! मैं चैबीसों घंटे जाग रहा हूँ और तुम्हारी ही प्रतीक्षा में दिन रात
गुजार रहा हूं।
बाबा मेरे बाबा! मैं स्थायी रूपसे तुम्हारे दिव्य गुणों और अनन्त
विषेशताओं को याद करता हूं, तुम साक्षात् कृपा ही हो, तुम मुक्तिदाता हो,
तुम नारायण हो। यह सोचकर कि तुम मेरे हो और मेरे हृदय में रहते हो, मुझे
गर्व होता है। मेरा यही दर्प है कि तुम मेरे हो, और मैं तुम्हारा हूं।
बाबा! मैं तुम्हारे आगमन के रास्ते के किनारे उत्सुकता पूर्वक केवल इस
भावना से प्रतीक्षा कर रहा हूं कि कब तुम्हें पाऊं और अपना सबकुछ तुम्हारे
चरण कमलों में समर्पित कर दूं।
बाबा! कृपा करके मेरे हृदय में आवास बनाइये।
