Baba

Mahaprayan of one senior Dada

Namaskar,

It is with much sadness that we share the news of the mahaprayan of Acarya Tapeshvarananda Avt. All who knew Dada ji remember him for his many contributions and dedication to Sadguru Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji.

Here are just a few of the many highlights about Dada Tapeshvarananda's life:

• Dadaji was keenly involved in the universal humanity and spreading the ideals of Ananda Marga.
  
• Dadaji served as Dharma Pracara Secretary for many years in the pre-1990 era.
• During the historic Dharma Samiiksa given by Sadguru Baba, Dada Tapeshvarananda was always around close by.
• Dada Tapeshvarananda worked for many years in Georgetown (GT) sector, i.e. South America.
  

He underwent his mahaprayan on 02 December at 11p IST. With his mahaprayan, Dada Tapeshvarananda will be greatly missed by many in our AM society.

May we all take solace in the fact that our dear Dada Tapeshvarananda was a bhakta of Sadguru Baba. Certainly he will attain mukti or moksa, accordingly. Baba will lovingly bestow His infinite grace.

at the lotus feet of Baba,
Nityesh Bhattacharya

We have seen that when somebody dies then in offering their condolences people say now Mr So-and-so is sitting on Baba's lap. On other occasions when telling a Baba story people also say, "Such and such person sat on Baba's lap." But these days the trend is that "sitting on Baba's lap" is used more in connection with death. And that causes some confusion in reader's mind. To unknot the situation please read below.

Dogma: if "on Baba's lap" only used for death

Here are quoted lines from recently posted emails on various forums, wherein the writer uses the phrase - "in Baba's lap" - with the occasion of death:

- "May Parama Purusa Baba accept her in HIS divine lap"

- "May his soul rest in the lap of our beloved BABA"

- "Now she is taking rest in Baba's Lap."

- "May Baba accept him in HIS divine lap....."

- "May he rest in HIS loving lap of eternity."

- "We are sure that Baba has taken him in His loving lap."

- "May his soul rest in Baba's lap forever."

- "Let her rest peacefully in Baba's Lap - which she always desired."

- "now he is in beloved Baba's lap"

- "May his soul get peaceful place in His lap"

- "He is now in Bábá's loving lap"

- "May Baba bless him with a seat in His lap."

- "May BABA accept him in HIS divine lap!"

- "May Baba take him in his eternal loving lap."

- "May his soul rest in peace taking shelter in Baba's lap."

- "Please keep him on Your lap forever."

- "We all collectively pray to Baba to take him on Baba's divine lap forever.”

All of the above lines are commonly written in eulogizing the deceased. These days mostly it is used in a eulogy and rarely used to recount one's intimate spiritual experiences - unfortunately. By this way, the phrase "in Baba's lap" is being misused and step by step the real meaning is being forgotten as now people more commonly use the phrase to eulogize those who have died, and much less so to express their inner feelings of bhakti. Unfortunately, the meaning and inner spirit of the phrase is getting lost.


Baba story: "sitting on Baba's lap"

Some time ago after dharmacakra, a senior margii was recounting his experiences of having dharma samiiksa with Baba. He said, "After being lovingly scolded by Baba for my wrongdoings, then He called me close and placed me on His lap - I remained there for some time soaking up His love - and He blessed me."

We all enjoyed hearing about his personal account with Baba during dharma samiiksa. When he finished telling his factual and historical event, there was a call for questions. Various people posed their queries. Towards the end, one new margii raised his hand and asked, "How did Baba bring you back to life?"

Everyone stared at the new margii in amazement. There was a look of astonishment all around - people were really shocked to hear him say this. The new sadhaka sensed that something was wrong He said very matter-of-factly, "I thought that sitting on Baba's Lap means that he (the margii) died - that is why I asked that question."

This was quite eye-opening for those of us in the room: Through our language and expression we had unknowingly taught someone to think that being on Baba's lap is the equivalent of death. Because it seems that nowadays people only use the phrase "Baba's lap" when a person has died, such as "Let him rest peacefully in Baba's lap", as if in order to sit on Baba’s lap one has to die. But that is false. Sincere sadhakas regularly sit on Baba’s lap in their meditation. It is His grace. It is just like a child need not die in order to sit on his father’s lap.

The idea is that this phrase - Baba's lap - has been linked with death due to extreme overuse. So for some time if sadhakas use this phrase exclusively for spiritual purposes, that will be best. The phrase, "sitting on Baba's lap", should not meet a similar fate. It should not lose its pure spiritual quality and just refer to one's death. That will be very negative.


Baba would bless bhaktas and place them on His lap

There are tens of thousands of recorded stories by sadhakas where they use the phrase, "on Baba's lap", when describing their experiences of being with Baba: He used to bless them and bring them on His lap. People should understand the deeply mystical value of this expression, and not just think that Baba's lap means death, i.e. that you can only sit on His lap at the time of death. Still today there are thousands of margiis walking this earth who sat in Baba's lap. And not only that, there are countless more sadhakas who were blessed by Baba in dreams and sadhana wherein they sat in His lap. And still today this deeply intimate experience is attainable by sadhakas, by His grace.

There are so many ways an aspirant can reach unto Baba's lap including in sadhana. That is the main idea that should be preserved. Sadhana is a spiritual practice and one can sit on Baba's lap in sadhana. We should make it cent-per-cent clear to one and all that the phrase, "sitting on Baba's lap", does not mean death.

"Mahaprayan" means death of mortals - confirm for yourself
from the Samsad Bengali-English Dictionary

Mahaprayan (Death): Many are aware that mahaprayan (death) is the common term used in India and especially in our Bengal to describe the death of any human being, even ordinary people. In that way, the obituary columns of the newspapers of Bengal regularly cite the mahaprayan (death) of various persons of society who died or passed away.

Some may get confused and wrongly think that the word 'mahaprayan' (death) is one extraordinarily term of bhakti to be used in association with Parama Purusa. But that is not at all the case. Rather to do so is only to undermine the eternal presence of Parama Purusa. That is why no bhaktas ever use the word 'mahaprayan' in reference to Lord Shiva or Lord Krsna. Because Lord Shiva and Lord Krsna exist eternally. Then there is no question of Their mahaprayan (death).

Baba is Parama Purusa so He is eternal and there is no question of His mahaprayan.

Here it should be known that the convention of an annual death day ceremony (i.e. shraddhainjali or mahaprayan) is a foundation of the Islamic tradition. Muslims are well known for this, and their approach of an annual death day ceremony was adopted by the leader of a particular group in AMPS. So no one should think that mahaprayan is some type of sacred event. It is done on the death day anniversary of Muslims.

And for those who need still more technical proof then all this can be clarified quite readily by referencing the dictionary. Specifically in the Samsad Bengali-English dictionary 3rd edition on page 848. Checking there it will be confirmed that the word 'mahaprayan' means death. Which is why it is used to refer to the passing away of even common citizens. And that is the case in this letter also. The term mahaprayan means death and this is the ideal term for this purpose.

Mahaprayan is only for humans not for Sadguru

Here it should be qualified that there is both real mahaprayan and fake mahaprayan. Real mahaprayan marks the death of any ordinary human being, just like the aforesaid news. This is the proper use of the term: To note a person's departure from this earth. That is the meaning of the mahaprayan term and that is the standard way the term is used in Indian languages.

Then there is the fake, or so-called, or dogmatic mahaprayan. That is when certain vested interests try to apply the mahaprayan term to Parama Purusa. This is grossly inappropriate because when Parama Purusa Sadguru Baba is that Divine Entity who is beginningless and endless and resides always in our heart, then it is entirely wrong to proclaim that He is gone.

That is why rational margiis are protesting; because the Oct 21st program is so-called mahaprayan. So-called means that something is fake. Parama Purusa is eternal, thus for some vested interests to declare "mahaprayan of Parama Purusa" is nothing but so-called mahaprayan.

Mahaprayan only really happens in the case of human beings, not Parama Purusa. Those doing mahaprayan for Sadguru are hypocrites. On the one side in meditation they ask His grace thinking that He is ever-present, and on the other side they think that Baba has passed way. That is their hypocrisy.

Defective thoughts are the cause + 2 more

Baba

Defective thoughts are the cause

Namaskar,

Whenever anyone's mental plate gets polluted and deformed due to defective thinking and faulty ideas then we say there is a deformity in their objectivated mind. And when those ideas enter the objectivated mind in an uncontrolled manner and people become obsessed with that idea, then we say it is a psychic disease.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

So a psychic disease occurs when one is fully consumed by a particular deficient thought process such as “everybody hates me”, or “there is a ghost in the house” etc.
And this stems from a defect in the objectivated mind. By constantly thinking about those faulty ideas, day after day, then a particular psychic disease develops.

Tandava is the only exercise for the brain and this will help in both curing and preventing the onset of brain disease. The medical community should conduct research on this. Soon this is going to happen because already the medical community is allotting money to investigate how yoga asanas help prevent and cure diseases. So the day is not far when it will become known that tandava is a great exercise for the brain.


Criminals suffer from psychic disease or brain disease?

Baba describes how criminals may suffer from either (a) a mix between brain disease and psychic disease or (b) exclusively from a psychic disease.

[A] Here below Baba guides us how in-born criminals suffer from both because brain disease and psychic disease.

Ananda Marga philosophy states, "Psychologists cannot treat the mental diseases which inflict born criminals all alone; the cooperation of physicians and sociologists is essential. Psychologists will diagnose the mental disease and explain its origins, and they will also play a role in helping cure it as far as possible. Doctors will be responsible for curing the disease through medicine or surgery, insofar as it is caused by physiological abnormalities. Then sociologists will have to arrange for the social rehabilitation of the criminal after he or she has recovered." (1)

With inborn criminals, the problem is two fold. They have defects in their objectivated mind which makes it a psychic disease. Plus there is often a faulty development in the formation of the brain organ, which makes it a brain disease as well.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

[B] And here below in this next example Baba discusses how some criminals - i.e. criminal by snap volition - suffer from kleptomania which is exclusively a psychic disease.

Ananda Marga philosophy guides us, "Another type of crime occurs occasionally. This is a temporary criminal urge, a special type of mental disease which suddenly appears in a certain type of environment and again subsides after a short time. Kleptomania is an example of this kind of mental disease. After committing a crime kleptomaniacs feel ashamed and are anxious to return the property that they have stolen to the owner. They have sudden fantasies about stealing, abducting people, becoming drunk or indulging in decadent activities. But analysis shows that they do not in fact have the slightest personal interest in such things." (2)


Conclusion

By ideating on Him we can overcome all defects and become pure and pristine - physically, psychically, and spiritually.

Ananda Marga ideology teaches us, "In Brahma, the Entity who liberates one from all mundane ailments and the cycle of rebirth, lies the total cessation of all afflictions, the freedom from all ailments. He is the only dependable panacea for microcosmic distortions and imperfections; there is none other than Him - Na'nyah pantha' vidyate ayana'ya." (3)

In Him.
Ananda Sagar

Multidisciplinary approach for curing criminals

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Psychologists cannot treat the mental diseases which inflict born criminals all alone; the cooperation of physicians and sociologists is essential. Psychologists will diagnose the mental disease and explain its origins, and they will also play a role in helping cure it as far as possible. Doctors will be responsible for curing the disease through medicine or surgery, insofar as it is caused by physiological abnormalities. Then sociologists will have to arrange for the social rehabilitation of the criminal after he or she has recovered. If psychologists only describe the nature of the disease, or if doctors only diagnose the physiological disorders and nothing more, it will not be possible to accomplish anything productive. Of course at the present time the patient may not make a complete recovery despite the concerted efforts of psychologists and sociologists, because psychology is still in an underdeveloped state. Moreover, doctors have not yet acquired the skills needed to remove the physiological abnormalities responsible for mental disease. And furthermore, the science of sociology has only just emerged; it is developing extremely slowly. However, we must take the above measures for born criminals.” (4)

How burnt chillies can help

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Knowing full well that a person who is possessed by a ghost is suffering from a mental disease and a disease of the nervous system, exorcists generally beat a "possessed" person to reactivate his or her nerves, make him or her inhale the smoke of burnt chillies in order to return him or her to consciousness.” (5)


Types of diseases cured by psychological treatment

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “A disease can be mental or can be physical. Similarly, medicine may be mental or may be physical; hence it is most desirable and productive if both kinds of medicine are administered simultaneously in all diseases, whether they are physical or mental. Those who only believe in psychological treatment for mental disease know from experience that such treatment will not permanently cure the disease and the patient will soon relapse. Only where, along with psychological treatment, guidance concerning diet, bathing and behaviour is given, and to normalize the diseased glands of the body medicines prepared from the five fundamental factors are prescribed, can the disease be permanently cured.” (6)

Ananda Marga ideology guides us, “After having analysed the various types of ahaḿkára and their evil effects, we need to examine the ways and means of getting rid of these defects. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has offered a psychological method to save oneself from the malady of ahaḿkára. Ahaḿkára is really a mental ailment, and a person suffering from this disease requires psychological treatment.” (7)

Ananda Marga philosophy says, “Epilepsy arises when a person comes in sudden contact with something or some event completely outside the realm of his or her experience. Through proper counselling, attacks of this disease can be checked and through psychic treatment along with the use of small amounts of medicine the disease can be treated.” (8)

I want to receive You up to my full heart’s content

"Paráń bhare barań kari,eso áji ámár ghare,..." (Prabhat Samgiita #0438)

Purport:

O' Parama Purusa, please come in my mental abode,  my Guru Cakra. I want to receive You up to my full heart’s content. After getting You, I will gaze upon You to my heart’s full satisfaction - until my soul is satiated. Baba, by Your grace, I will hold both of Your lotus feet, and always keep You in my heart.

O' Parama Purusa, in hopes of making You mine, my own, I have arranged a basket filled with flowers and fruits to receive You. And it has been saturated with my heart-felt love. In the corner of my mind, with full of sweetness, I want to have You forever.

Baba, today please sit in the lotus of my heart. I am calling You with shravana, manana, and niddidhyasana [1]. This yearning has been hidden in the depths of my heart for such a long time. All the while I have been waiting for You. Please fulfil that desire by coming to me. Fulfill my longing, which has been in the deep corner of my mind since ages. …

Baba, today, when You grace me by coming, that desire will be quenched forever….


Notes for Prabhat Samgiita #0438

[1] Shravan, Manan, & Niddhidhyasana: Here below Ananda Marga ideology explains the special import of these three devotional practices.

Ananda  Marga ideology says, "To attain Him human beings have to take recourse to shravana (constantly hearing His name), manana (constantly ideating on Him) and nididya'sana (constantly meditating on Him). The Supreme Entity is Gurha, that is, He is lying hidden in the innermost recess of the human entity. To attain Him one must penetrate deep within oneself, and for that the development of an introversial outlook is essential." (1)

How to capture another country + 3 more

Baba

How to capture another country

Namaskar,

In 1949, the Chinese Communist government seized control of Xinjiang province which is far, far to the west of Beijing. The native people are Turks, the largest population of which is the Uighur community. To take control and establish dominance, the Chinese officials began relocating its Han Chinese people to that area. They now outnumber the locals in all respects. The Han Chinese are migrants to the region yet they’ve become the dominant group and are imposing their cultural will. This is an age-old strategy.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/


How China took over Tibet

Prout philosophy states, "When the British handed over power to Mr. De Valera, they divided the country into Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland. Many settlers came from England and settled down in the extreme northern portion of the country. In the same way the Chinese sent many people to settle in Tibet so that the Chinese population would outnumber the population of Tibet, and finally Tibet would become a part of China. When Manchuria was occupied by Japan it was renamed Manchu-ko, and many Japanese settlers were sent there so that the Manchurians would be outnumbered by the foreigners. The same thing happened in the case of Ireland. England sent many people to settle in the northern corner of the country." (1)

In Xinjiang province where the Uihgurs are now vastly outnumbered, the same technique has been employed. The local Uighur population is quite suffocated by the presence of the Han Chinese because the Han Chinese do not consider themselves to be part of that land per se, but are trying to take that place as their own. This area known as Xinjiang province used to be its own country, just as Tibet used to be independent. All this creates strife, struggle and so many problems like the killings and brutal beatings in Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang province.

Around the globe, there are many areas where locals are slowly being outnumbered by outsiders such as in the Philippines and parts of Africa where the Chinese are massively increasing their numbers. Those countries should be vigilant and alert - lest they lose their autonomy. For all these reasons, Prout’s mandate is that under no circumstances should migratory workers be allowed.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Prevent outsiders from joining local economy

Prout philosophy states, "Outsiders must be strictly prevented from interfering in the local economy." (2)

Instead those workers should be given a means to live in their homeland. Or if going to another land, they must merge their interest with the local interest. Prout's policy is that one may only work in a different land under the following condition.

Prout’s policy is, "The fundamental issue is whether or not each person or family has identified their individual socio-economic interests with the collective interests of the concerned socio-economic unit." (3)

According to Prout, a person may only live and work in another region if they have merged their socio-economic interests with that area. Merely going there to get a job or impose one’s culture is not part of Prout as it leads to the destruction of the local people, ongoing wars, death, and bloodshed.


How China will capture other countries

At present, the biggest transgressor is China. With their booming population, rising internal strife and discontent, growing wealth disparity, and emerging economic influence etc, the Chinese are exporting their populations all over the globe. Their aim is to gain political control, exert economic influence, capture local resources, and direct the country.

For years in China, there was a single birth policy, whereas the hoards of Chinese who lived outside - such as in Africa, SE Asia, North America, or elsewhere - were strongly encouraged to produce many children - just like the Muslims do. That was a key component of capturing the area. And the results are quite contentious as those regions are marred by bloodshed, tension, brutality, and street riots etc.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Prout’s warnings

The overall issue is alarming and from the get-go Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar - the Propounder of Prout - has warned of the dangers. His Proutistic guidelines offer so many red flags as to the adverse effect of a floating, migratory workforce.

Prout philosophy states, "For economic democracy is that outsiders must be strictly prevented from interfering in the local economy. The outflow of local capital must be stopped by strictly preventing outsiders or a floating population from participating in any type of economic activity in the local area." (4)

Prout philosophy states, "The psychological defect of a floating population is this – the people fail to accept a new locality as their own home, so they cannot forget the land they left behind." (5)

Prout philosophy states, "The population of every socio-economic unit should be organized on a scientific basis. The problem of a floating population should be tackled on the block level itself. Where there is a floating population, it should be either permanently settled or returned to its original region." (6)

Prout philosophy states, "The elimination of the floating population will also protect the social life of the cooperative from the possibility of adverse social influences." (7)


Solution

Although it is a complex issue, Shri Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar has addressed it from all angles and given a comprehensive solution. Those living and working in an area must accept that place as their own by merging their identity with the interests of that locale.

Prout philosophy states, "Local people are those who have merged their individual socio-economic interests with the socio-economic interests of the socio-economic unit they live in. Clearly, this concept of local people has nothing to do with physical complexion, race, caste, creed, language or birth place. The fundamental issue is whether or not each person or family has identified their individual socio-economic interests with the collective interests of the concerned socio-economic unit. Those who have not done so should be branded as outsiders." (8)

If one fails to embrace the new, local place and join the interests of those people, then they must not be allowed to go and live there. That is the Proutistic teaching. Side by side, in all areas, local people should be guaranteed work, then they will not turn toward becoming a migratory worker.

Prout guides us, "In economic democracy local people will hold economic power. Consequently, local raw materials will be used to promote the economic prosperity of the local people. That is to say, the raw materials of one socio-economic unit should not be exported to another unit. Instead, industrial centres should be built up wherever raw materials are available. This will create industries based on locally available raw materials and ensure full employment for all local people." (9)

Cause is one - problems are many

This problem is not entirely one-sided. The problem is not just that outside workers are coming to a new place and pushing aside local people and customs. Outside workers are leaving their areas for a reason. They are getting squeezed out. No one likes to leave their hearth and home, their friends and family unnecessarily. But people are forced to migrate or float to a place where they can survive.

With no other option, they often go in search of work, leaving their family behind. This happened centuries and decades ago with the rise of many cities in the west. And now all over the globe it is happening. Africans are heading to Europe for work; Mexicans and Central Americans are entering the US; the Chinese are going all over Southeast Asia. It is a pervasive issue. And behind it all, greedy capitalists are trying to control the resources, minerals, and land of far-away areas.

Although the root cause is one - migratory workers - the problem gets expressed in multiple ways and in the end local people clash with migrant populations and neither are happy. Migrant peoples were forced to leave their original place due to intolerable living situations and the local people feel threatened and suppressed by the arrival of outside workers. The situation does not work well for anybody.

Throughout His Prout teachings Shrii PR Sarkar has warned that this does not bode well for humanity. Unfortunately, this very problem is mounting as (a) capitalists have their sight set on resources in distant places and (b) local people are forced to leave their homeland.

Prout brings smooth progress of society

The awful situation in Xinjiang should stand as a warning to all. This is what happens with the rise of  a migratory workforce and huge population influx. Social discord and chaos results and it is not easy to restore a sense of peace. All such situations should be prevented and all areas forewarned about the impending disaster. Prout philosophy offers the solution and if applied now, so much fighting and bloodshed can still be averted..

Prout philosophy states, “Economic democracy will devise ways and means to effect the smooth progress of society." (10)

By applying the principles of Prout regarding immigration and a floating labour market / migratory worker, all such crises will be solved and future crises will be prevented. This is quite relevant to the world we live in today.

Everyone should be aware

Crackdowns and rioting in Urumqi are regular affairs as the Chinese seek to control this capital city of Xinjiang province. The world looks on in shock as huge clash occurs between the local Uighur population and the ruling Han Chinese, fueled by the ongoing migration of Chinese nationalists to that far distant province.The spilling of blood, the killing, the ethnic cleansing - all this horror has devastated the region.

Long ago Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar - the Propounder of Prout philosophy - warned of this very problem and stated that there can never be peace where migrant worker populations or floating laborers are used and encouraged.The world did not listen then and still no one is listening today as this very circumstance which caused the riots in Urumqi touches down in so many other regions across the globe. The result will be absolutely disastrous if prompt action is not taken. Everyone in all places should be aware.

Which religions sees the world this way

Ananda Marga philosophy states, "At one time people were told that this world is for human enjoyment only, so the existence of all the plants, of all the birds and animals, in the world is intended merely to provide objects of enjoyment for human beings. Their hopes and aspirations, their intense desire to live, their pains and pleasures, their affectionate family or community lives are simply without value. However much a baby goat may wish to live, the main consideration is how much meat that kid carries on its frame. This defective philosophy has made people ruthlessly violent – even more dangerous than blood-thirsty tigers. Tigers kill only to fill their stomachs, to preserve their physical existence; whereas human beings kill animals mostly out of greed. Generally people have resorted to hypocrisy to camouflage this instinct of greed; they have killed animals on the pretext of pleasing the gods, while actually their main motive in doing so was to please their own tongues. These are all the inevitable results of such defective philosophies." (1)

Answer: Baba is talking about the Semitic religions.

Sadhana & groupism are inversely related

In His below teaching, Baba guides us that when we see someone supporting a particular group or an agenda based on caste, creed, colour, race, then we should be alert. By digging down, we will find that the person is not sincere in sadhana. Because Ananda Marga sadhana is the sadhana of the infinite Parama Purusa. By ideating on Him, the mind becomes larger and larger. That is why standard sadhakas do not support any kind of groupism etc. So watch out: if someone is supporting any group then try to politely convey that they should increase their sadhana. By this way their mind will expand, and in result from the core of their heart they will naturally keep its distance from the lowly outlook of groupism etc. This following quote from Sadguru guides us in this direction.

   Ananda Marga philosophy says, "The more the human mind becomes magnanimous or expanded, the more it rises above the sentiments of tribalism, communalism, provincialism, etc. Often I hear people say that nationalism is an appreciable sentiment and that there is no narrowness in it. But is this true? Nationalism is also relative, just like tribalism, communalism or provincialism. In some places it is more worthwhile than tribalism, communalism or provincialism, while in other places it is less worthwhile..."
   "Hence it is observed that communalism, casteism, provincialism and nationalism are all of the same defective type. Those who are able to capitalize on one of these sentiments advocate it volubly. In fact, every one of these sentiments suffers from the defect of ism, and is completely filled with narrowness, violence, envy, mean mindedness, etc. Those who enter the field of social welfare by creating divisions between “yours” and “mine”, substantially widen the fissures of fissiparous intellect in human society."
   "Those who want to promote the welfare of all human beings, remaining above all sorts of parochial sentiments, have no alternative but to embrace universalism with their heart and soul – there is no other way. As universalism is totally devoid of any characteristic of ism, it is not proper to depict universalism as an ism. If everyone is looked upon as one’s own, no one remains beyond the periphery of one’s kith and kin. Naturally, then, there is no scope for violence, envy, narrowness, etc….The more the human mind becomes magnanimous or expanded, the more it rises above the sentiments of tribalism, communalism, provincialism, etc." (1)

Superstitions in AMPS etc

Baba

Superstitions in AMPS etc

Namaskar,

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “The social laws of the Marga do not only make no distinction between one person and another, but ensure that both sexes have to share equal responsibility in life. All social superstitions, such as discrimination against widows, etc., are discarded.” (1)

https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

India Superstition: torture of widows

In various countries widows were not given equal rights. This was especially the case in India in certain communities.

(a) Widows were forced to remain celibate for the rest of their life.

(b) Widows were made to wear white uniforms.

(c) Widow were not allowed to participate in any festivities.

(d) Widow were forced to lead the life of a hermit and follow very restrictive conduct rules regarding food, and lifestyle habits etc.

(e) Due to childhood marriages, sometimes the infant of 2 or 3 years of age would become a widow and that child was forced to do twice monthly ekadashii fast without water. And their parents used to eat fish in front of that small child. And that infant would cry. What to say about food, the baby widow was not allowed to drink water. In severe conditions they would pour water in her ear to cool her down. This barbarous treatment went on for hundreds of years. This all happened due to the superstition of widowhood. That widow was treated as a demon who swallowed her husband. That was the belief.

​

Ananda Marga ideology guides us, "​उस time में कम उमर में शादी होती थी | तीन-चार साल की बच्ची विधवा हो गई | तो, हम जानते हैं बङ्गाल में वह तीन-चार साल की बच्ची को भी एकादशी में उपवास करना पड़ता था---निर्जला, निरम्बु, without water | तो वह रोती थी, बच्ची तीन साल की विधवा | तो वह तालाब में  ऐसे बैठ सकती थी, किन्तु पानी पी नहीं सकती थी | और, जब अधिक चिल्लाती थी, तो relative लोग क्या करते थे ? तालाब से थोड़ा पानी लेकर उसके कान में डाल देते थे; मुँह में नहीं---यह क्या है ? Dogma | तो, मनुष्य-मनुष्य में भेद है ? और उसी बच्ची  जो बाप-माँ, वे बैठकर मछली और भात खाते थे | यही सामाजिक सुविचार है ? इस dogma के ख़िलाफ़ तुम लोगों को आवाज़ बुलन्द करनी है |" (2)

Superstitions in AMPS

(a) If you are born in a particular caste then you will be in central office.

(b) If your mother tongue is of a particular language then only can you govern a unified AMPS.

(c) If you are born in a particular country then you can get a top or key post like SS or central.

(d) If you are born as a certain gender then you have to be subservient to the other gender.

https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Ananda Marga philosophy does not support these above or any superstitions. But the organisation AMPS which is made to propagate Ananda Marga philosophy is slowly drowning in superstition. We have to be alert. Now please see what Baba says about superstition.

Ananda Marga philosophy states, "Superstitions have not left any field uncontaminated. In the social sphere there is no dearth of superstitions. Witchcraft, discrimination against widows, etc., are curses in society only due to such superstitions. In the psychic sphere there are deep-rooted superstitions such as the belief in ghosts (bhút), etc. Not only this, but superstitions related to shráddha [funeral ceremonies], etc., have also bound down even the progeny of a person. In the spiritual field, also, ignorant people have been forced to do many things only because of the deep-rooted superstition of heaven and hell. All these only disturb psychic equilibrium and bring about discord and worry in society. For the preservation of peace, the fight against superstition is of prime importance." ( A Few Problems Solved - 7, Social Psychology)

Europe: Superstition about illegitimate children

A similar thing happened in Christian countries also. For example, in Ireland if a girl got pregnant out of wedlock she was forced to live in a caged house. In that segregated place, cut off from the rest of society, the girl would lead a life of humiliation. After giving birth she was basically separated from her child. Just during specific times those women would take care of the child and then spend the bulk of the time as slave labour for the church. When the child became a year old that child was forcibly separated from the mother as punishment to both the mother and child for giving birth out of wedlock. This was due to the superstition that both child and mother were both work of the devil. And they should not live in the society otherwise the society would get destroyed. When the mother was outside the compound she was forced not to talk with anyone about the child. By this punishment, both mother and baby were terribly harmed. The child was emotionally scarred as that baby did not get love and affection it needed and the mother was also scarred as she lost her child. Ultimately, the church put the child up for adoption and that child was often abused by the adoptive family.

Africa: torturing children as being the devil

In Africa there are thousands of innocent kids no older than 3 or 4 years of age who are accused of being the incarnation of the devil. Those kids get beaten and removed from their homes. Those kids are completely alienated as no one wants to go close to those kids. So those children start living in the street like dogs. At times a few good people care for them, but thousands of those innocent children die of neglect. This entire scene is similar to the Salem witch trials in the US during the 1690’s when certain women were declared as being witches and they were often tortured to death.

Conclusion

In our Ananda Marga there are no such superstitions. Widows are not harshly labeled as outcastes etc simply because they are a widow. Widows are granted the same rights and respect as everyone else. And children born out of wedlock are also given 100% of the rights as those kids born to a married parents. Those born out of wedlock are not stigmatized. Baba has given Ananda Marga to eradicate all sorts of religious superstition and dogmas.

Namaskar,

In Him,

Satyadras’t’a’

“CNN: Excavations have uncovered "significant quantities of human remains" at a former home for unmarried mothers run by nuns in Ireland, officials said Friday. Tests indicated they belonged to young children. An investigation was opened following public outcry when a local historian said in 2014 that she believed the bodies of 800 children could be buried on the site of the former St. Mary's Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, County Galway. The remains were found in the chambers of an underground structure next to a septic tank which could have been used for sewage storage or treatment, the Commission on Mother and Baby Homes said in a statement Friday.” (3)

~ Courtesy of Wikipedia ~

“Wikipedia: Recent reports by UNICEF, UNHCR, Save The Children and Human Rights Watch have also highlighted the violence and abuse towards children accused of witchcraft in Africa. Accusations of witchcraft in Africa are a very serious matter as the witch is culturally understood to be the epitome of evil and the cause of all misfortune, disease and death. Consequently, the witch is the most hated person in African society and subjected to punishment, torture and even death.”

“The victims of witchcraft accusations in African societies have usually been the elderly, the disabled, albinos and anyone who was considered different. In recent years due to the impact of rapid urbanisation, economic decline, as well as the HIV/AIDS pandemic, children have become more and more the victims of witchcraft accusations, especially orphans. Child victims of witchcraft accusations are more vulnerable than adult victims as they cannot defend themselves as they are confronted with physical and psychological abuse from their family and community. Children accused of witchcraft may be subjected to violent exorcism rituals by African Pentecostal-Charismatic pastors who mix Christianity with African witchcraft beliefs. Such exorcism may include incarceration, starvation and being made to drink hazardous substances. In other cases accused children are expelled and end up living on the streets, are trafficked and in some instances they are killed.” (4)

Shape of our future generations + 5 more

Baba

Shape of our future generations

Namaskar,

Human beings are constantly undergoing change - in the physical realm, the psychic realm, and the spiritual realm.

Struggle & class brings development

Where there is physical clash [physical struggle] there will be physical development. An example of this is a person who trains for years and years to be an Olympic gymnast. By that physical engagement, the muscles develop and their physical body undergoes change - it grows. In contrast, if one does not exercise their physical body they will become physically weaker. A patient bedridden in the hospital does not have opportunity to walk or run; in result, they will lose their muscle mass and become weaker. So where there is physical clash there will be physical development, and vice versa.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Next is the psychic realm: Here also the same premise holds true. Where there is psychic clash [psychic struggle] there is psychic development. A classic case is the student deeply involved in university studies. As they are fully engaged in the learning process and constantly taking in and processing new information, they experience great change in the psychic or intellectual realm. In contrast, a person who never thinks deeply, and just goes through the day in a mechanical way, will lose their psychic faculties. Such is the law of nature.

So the theorem is: Physical clash [physical struggle] then physical development; psychic clash [psychic struggle] then psychic development; and longing for the Great then spiritual development.

Accordingly, some wonder what will the human body look like in the future.

Will be unable to walk

Over time, as humans struggle and adapt to ever-changing conditions - on the personal, societal, and environmental level - naturally the body changes. The gene code changes according to human need.

Essentially those changes are gradual, but they are nonetheless occurring. It is just like how if you see an 8-year-old boy everyday then you will barely notice any change. But if you go away and return two, five, or ten years later, you will see tremendous change in the boy. Seeing him five or ten years later you may not even recognise him at all. Same is the case with humanity. From one generation to the next, you may not notice much changes in the human specimen, but over the course of 50 generations, there were will be tremendous change. One may hardly even recognise them as human beings.

So what will the human body look like in the future?

• 1. The head will be bigger, and
• 2. The body will be smaller / weaker.

There are two basic forces at work toward these transformations. Firstly, with more and more mechanization in society, humans do less and less physical work. Long back, a typical human might walk 30, or 50, or even 100 miles in a single day - and they would not feel tired or sore. Today, however, most rely on some form of transportation whether it be bicycle, rickshaw, bus, taxi, train, automobile, helicopter, or airplane etc. To the degree one relies on mechanized form of transportation, one becomes physically weaker. This is the norm. Most would be stricken by the idea of having to walk 30 or 50 miles in a single day.

Why head will become bigger

And not just with transportation but in all realms of life there are great gains being made in the field of technology that makes like physically easier for us. That means less physical clash [psychical struggle] and a corresponding loss of physical activity and strength. And verily the physical body will get smaller. In one of His teachings below, Baba hints at how human beings will not even be able to walk - their legs will not support them. That is one-half of the equation.

The other half is that people will gradually become more and more mind-oriented. Instead of addressing life's problems with their might, they will rely on their intellect. In the past, to solve basic problems like water humans would carry buckets or build aqueducts. It was primarily a physical process. Now, however, to solve a similar problem, we use our psychic quality to come up with a solution and then implement that solution using computers, engines, and other mechanical or electronic devices etc . So the solution lies in the mental sphere. Essentially, humans will undergo more and more psychic clash [psychic struggle] and they will grow in the mental-cum-intellectual realm. And since the brain and brainstem are highly linked with the mind, the brain will become more complex and the cranium and head will become bigger - much bigger. And indeed, since long scientists have documented how the human cranium has evolved and grown over time. And this will continue at a more dramatic and faster rate in the future.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/


Conclusion

The rule is that if you utilise any limb or organ then it gets strengthened and if you do not use that organ or muscle then it weakens. In the present day world people do not use their arms or legs very much so those faculties are getting weaker. Whereas nowadays people have to use their brains for so many daily engagements so the brain is becoming bigger. If you go one million years back those early humans had smaller brains than modern human beings. And still today, indigenous tribes living in the wild, where they are not connected to modern civilisation, have a smaller cranium and a smaller vocabulary as well. In this world nothing is fixed. According to the need, nature provides. Based on this theory we can understand how in future generations - after a few thousand years - humans will be completely different from today’s population.

This theory of struggle and progress can be utilised in favour of present-day human health. To keep your arms, feet, and legs strong, exercise them regularly. Putting stress on those joints, muscles, and limbs will keep them strong. Similar is the case with the brain also. If you want to remain alert even when you are elderly, then keep active and always engage in intellectually challenging endeavours. Then brain diseases will be kept at bay.

Change in the nerve cells

Here following are Baba's teaching that demonstrate who due to increased mechanization and psychic engagement, the future humans will have bigger heads and smaller bodies than that present humanity.

   Ananda Marga philosophy states, "Human beings were born onto this earth about one million years ago. In those times, human beings were primitive. The people of today are very different from those primitive personalities - there is a great difference between them. How did this difference occur? Due to constant changes in structure a metamorphosis took place. An evolved psychic structure emerged and a corresponding change occurred in the physical structure to facilitate a proper physical medium for that evolved psychic structure. Human beings started thinking about certain subjects and remained in that state of contemplation for a long period. Human beings could not make their undeveloped nerves and nerve cells serve as the correct medium for their evolved psychic structure, so a change in the nerve cells had to be brought about. And so a change in the nerve cells and nerve fibres occurred. As a result the human face has also changed. The humans of one million years ago had a very small cranium. These so-called humans had a very small number of nerve cells. Their brains were small and their bodies were relatively big."
   "So humanity continued progressing in the intellectual spheres and grew weaker in the physical sphere. Naturally, the cranium grew, while the remaining portion of the body became weaker." (1)

Arms become thin & head will be abnormally large

   Ananda Marga philosophy states, "Thus, in the future, as people’s thought processes become more complicated, many new vrttis will develop. The number of vrttis may not stay at fifty. Just imagine the situation that will arise in the future as a result of humanity’s ever increasing thirst for knowledge. To meet these developments the nerve cells and nerve fibres will have to become more complex. Consequently, the human cranium will become larger and the size of the head will increase. The hands and feet will become weaker and weaker and human beings may even lose the ability to walk. Today, the human toes have almost stopped functioning – in spiritual actions we have almost no use for them – whereas at one time, when we used to walk on four legs, we used our toes as much as our fingers. The front legs were used less and less, and were transformed into arms, and thus these days it has become almost impossible for us to crawl on all fours. There was a time when humans would run on four legs, but today they cannot do that. After a time, children feel uncomfortable crawling around on all fours and try to walk on their hind legs. In the initial stages, when they try to stand up, they soon fall down. Again they stand up, again they fall down. When they finally develop the habit of standing on two legs, there are corresponding changes in the physical structure so that the use of their arms becomes less. In the future, the legs will be used less and less and the capacity to move on them will decrease. The arms will become thin, and the head will become abnormally large."
   "Today we think that such people will look very strange, but in the future one may hear people commenting, “Oh, how handsome he looks with eyes as small as little peas and arms as thin as jute sticks. He can’t hear anything with his ears. In fact, he hasn’t got any ears at all! What an attractive man.” Although it seems slightly repulsive to us, this will become the standard of beauty in future. People will judge beauty according to the standards of the day, saying, “Oh, those stick-like arms of his make him look so handsome. The fellow can’t walk properly. How wonderful.” And if someone can walk, people will say, “How indecent that fellow looks hobbling around on two legs!” But if he crawls along the ground they will say, “How wonderful, how beautiful!” If we were to see this sort of scene today, however, we would say, “How unsightly. That fellow is uglier than an owl.”" (2)

Baba, You are hiding in the depths of the mind

“Maneri gahane tumi ácho, ácho prabhu sadá jege ácho…” (Prabhata Samgiita #4380)

Purport:

O' Prabhu, You remain always in the depths of my mind – and never leave me. By Your grace, I am never alone. You are always awake, regardless of the time and date. You go on working day and night, beyond time, without ever getting tired or stopping. Whatever You want to do, You go on doing ceaselessly without rest.

O’ Parama Purusa, this whole animate and inanimate universe is Your playing ball. You are the ever-present, beginningless and endless, non-decaying, eternal Entity. You are ever divinely vibrated, always smiling in Your magnificent flow like the kimshuk flower. You want that those under the spell of slumber of the six enemies and the eight bondages should awaken from their infatuation and inertia. Baba, You are deeply and blissfully busy in Your cosmic liila.

Baba, O' Parama Purusa, although they do not have means but You are the Goal of all; everyone wants You. Every jiiva keeps You in their heart always. That is why they are always trying to come close to You by their virtuous deeds, shravan, manan, nididhyasana, and dhyana. Only those who are blessed are able to realise You, and have Your darshan and proximity. You dance and express Yourself in the mirror of Your ma’ya’ amidst the mountains and the ocean, and from dwellings to the wilderness, hills, and flower gardens.

Baba, You are krpa-personified; I surrender at Your holy feet...

Practical application of loopholes in Indian constitution

   Ananda Marga philosophy guides us, "There are several fiscal and psychological loopholes in the Indian constitution. The constitution of India proclaims that all are equal in the eye of the law. But in practice, this principle is not followed, and as a result disparity is growing in the arena of law and justice. Such disparity is adversely affecting the different groups of people in the country. For example, there are disparities between the Hindu Code and the Muslim Code. Hindu women and Muslim women, although they are all Indian citizens, do not get equal advantages of law. For instance, according to Hindu law, a man cannot have more than one wife, but a Muslim man is entitled to have more than one wife. A Hindu husband or a Hindu wife is required to approach the court to secure a divorce, while a Muslim man is entitled to divorce his wife without the permission or approval of the court. Moreover, a Muslim husband can divorce his wife but a Muslim wife cannot divorce her husband. Besides, a Muslim husband is not required to show [[any reason for the divorce]].”
   “Disparity in the eye of the law is creating all these problems. The root of all these evils lies in the psychological loopholes of the Indian constitution. Why is the constitution allowing the Hindu Code and Muslim Code to stand side by side? Let there be only one code – the Indian Code. This Indian Code should be based on cardinal human values, with a universal approach and Neo-Humanistic spirit. Then only equality before the law can be established in practice, and equal protection of the law for all can be guaranteed. So the constitution should remove the psychological loopholes by eradicating existing disparities in the eye of the law.”

Re: Answer for future healthy brain

Namaskara

Your article on brain diseases and the AM dances given by Baba is very enlightening. I used to do 30 rounds of tandava and 30 rounds of kaoshikii almost daily as long as my job permits me. I am already 57 years and still relatively healthy and could teach whole day without much difficulty. But I just do it in the morning. In your article you mentioned that we need to do it twice. Thanks for the reminder.

हे परमपुरुष! तुम्हारे बिना कृपा कौन कर सकता है, कोई नहीं

प्रभात संगीत 350:- तुमी बिना के वा कृपा korite पारे...

परिचयः- यह गीत भक्ति की अनुध्यान नामक अवधारणा से संबंधित है।

भावार्थः-

हे परमपुरुष! तुम्हारे सिवा मुझे कौन आशीष दे सकता है, कोई नहीं। इस विश्व  में  किसे मैं अपना मान सकता हूँ - तुम्हारे सिवा किसी को नहीं।

तुम्हारी कृपा की चाह में सब तुम्हारी ओर देख रहे हैं।  हे बाबा ! आज मेरे मन से केवल एक ही स्वर निकल रहा है। तुम्हीं सब कुछ हो। तुम्हीं सब कुछ हो। मेरे सभी कष्ट तुम्हारी कृपा के सागर में डूब गये हैं। तुम्हारी कृपा से मेरे सभी कष्ट  दूर हो  गये हैं और सभी  दुख आनन्द में बदल गये हैं।

सभी लोग तुम्हारे दिव्य आकर्षण में तुमसे प्रेम करते हैं, इस लिये नहीं कि तुम परम पुरुष हो और तुम्हारे अनन्त गुण हैं।  वे  इसलिये प्रेम करते हैं  क्यों कि यह तुम्हारी कृपा है , तुम्हारी कृपा हैं।

यह सोचकर कि यह तो मूर्ख है, बुद्धिहीन है तुम उससे घृणा नहीं करते। तुम तो सबके सर्वाधिक प्रिय हो। तुम सबके अनुध्यान हो जो कि सबके हृदयों का वास्तविक लक्ष्य है। इन सभी कारणों से तुम सभी के अंतिम लक्ष्य हो । सभी तुम्हारे निकट आकर संतुष्ठी का अनुभव करते हैं।

हे बाबा! मैं तो सब प्रकार से तुम्हीं पर आश्रित हॅूं। (1)

To blame God: good or bad

Ananda Marga ideology states, "Logically it has been proved that the experiencing of the reaction (karmaphala) of an action cannot be evaded. That being so, blaming God (Bhagaván) for the consequences of our actions or praying to be released from bearing the consequences is only foolishness. One who performs actions will have to bear the reactions also. If you plunge your hand in fire you will surely burn it. To blame God for burning your hand is merely ignorance or stupidity. It is the nature of fire to burn, and whatsoever comes in contact with it will be burnt. Similarly, it is a self-evident law of Prakrti or Her very nature that all actions will have reactions. God (Bhagaván) is not in the least responsible for it. The performer of the actions is responsible for it. The performer of the actions is responsible for the reactions also, since God has not performed the actions. He cannot be responsible for the reactions. It is only people who are responsible for actions as well as for bearing the consequences of these actions." (1)
