Upcoming festival: spiritual value

Namaskar,

In our Ananda Marga spiritual parlance, the term colour means bondage, or the attachment of the mind. For example, anything and everything in the world has some sort of vibration, or colour. When attracted, the mind gets dyed in that colour. For instance, if someone is attracted to rasagolla and must eat that sweet whenever he goes to the market, then the colour of rasagolla will stain his mind.

Colour means a stain on the mind
 
The basic premise is that humans get coloured by all kinds of colours, i.e. stains on the mind. And when the mind is stained, that mind is in bondage. When the mind is not attracted with any color and is just attracted towards Parama Purusa, then the mind is colourless.

That is why in Guru Puja, sadhakas offer their mental colour - all kinds of attractions, weaknesses, and attachments - to the Supreme Entity. If the offering is made with sincerity, that weakness or attachment will fade away, and the mind will become calm, serene, and blissful. That is very close to the stage of colourlessness. When the mind is completely colourless then the sadhaka becomes one with Parama Purusa.

Ultimately, the unit mind and the Cosmic Mind are the same, only due to one's mental colour the unit mind is not becoming one with the Cosmic Entity. In order to become one with Him, we celebrate varnarghyadana, i.e. colour festival, and offer our mental colours to the Divine Entity - Parama Purusa - and try to become one with Him.

Proportionate to your self surrender
 
Ananda Marga ideology states, "You must bring about a revolutionary change in the flow of your judgment and thought, and see how, after overcoming your fascination with external colour, your mind becomes tinged with the His glorious colour. In Ananda Marga Sadhana, the method of withdrawing the mind from degrading tendencies, and absorbing oneself in the colour of the Great, is called Pratyáhára Yoga (the yoga of withdrawal) or Varńárghyadána (Guru Puja: the offering of colours). All people have a particular attraction for one or another object or activity and as soon as they become attracted to an object, then their minds become coloured with the colour of that object. You can withdraw your mind from the colour of that object and dye yourself in His colour by offering Him the captivating colour of the object that has attracted you: this is the real Pratyáhára Yoga [Guru Puja]. The word Pratyáhára means “to withdraw” – to withdraw the mind from its object." (1)
 
Ananda Marga ideology states, "The main object of the Spring Colour Festival (Vasantotsava) is not playing with external colours; it is meant to offer Him the colours of different objects which have dyed the mind. When this practice of offering your own colours – your own attachments, becomes natural and easy, you will then merge in Him. Then you will have no need for any colour, for you will become colourless – you will go beyond the reach of any colour. Your unit-ego will become one with the Cosmic Ego. Whichever way you look you will see only Him in His ever-surging glory. There is no “I” nor “you”. By an everlasting, mutual pact the final curtain will have fallen on all clashes of “I” and “you”. At that stage, if you call Parama Brahma as “I”, you are right in calling Him so; if you call Him as “He”, you are equally right; and if you call Him as “you”, again you are correct. The extent of your attainment of Him will be proportionate to your self surrender." (2)
 
 
Story
 
Ananda Marga ideology states, "Remember, you have to offer your own mind – not money, rice plantains or other crude objects. The give-and-take of crude things is a business transaction. If you want to attain the bliss of Brahma, you must offer your own self. If you want to have the Great “I”, you must give away your own little “I”. You have to give the full sixteen annas, (the full rupee). Giving fifteen annas and holding back one anna will not do. You must completely surrender. To attain that Infinite One with the help of your mental concentration and strength, you have to surrender yourselves. But, remember self-surrender does not mean suicide. On the contrary, your soul will have its full expression. Your existence will not become contracted, for contraction is inert in principle….“O Lord, I surrender my all to you. Do what you think is best”. And the Lord immediately rescued her. That is why I say that you will have to dedicate yourselves to His feet wholly and unreservedly. You will earn godliness in proportion to the extent that you surrender yourselves, and finally, after merging that acquired godliness of yours in His Entity, you will attain eternal bliss." (3)
 

Conclusion
 
By His above teaching the point is very clear that our colour festival is not about coloured powders and flowers per se. Rather, Baba guides us that the real import is the psycho-spiritual approach of offering the colours (i.e. attachments and obstacles) of one's mind unto the lotus feet of Parama Purusa.

Prout & brain drain

Prout philosophy guides us, "If the common people and the meritorious people are treated as the same, the capable people will not be encouraged to develop their higher potentiality. This is the reason why the brain drain is happening in India. When talented people leave India, they leave it for good. Providing special amenities for those with special capabilities will stop the brain drain."

"PROUT's approach is to guarantee the minimum requirements for all, guarantee maximum amenities for all and guarantee special amenities for people with special capabilities. This approach will ensure ever increasing acceleration in the socio-economic sphere. The question of retardation does not arise; even the question of maintaining speed does not arise. There must be acceleration."

"Acceleration is the spirit of life, the spirit of existence, the spirit of the existential faculty. One may not be a genius, one may simply be a member of the ordinary public, and not properly accepted or respected by all, but even then one will get the minimum requirements and maximum amenities in an ever-increasing manner according to the environmental conditions concerned, according to the demands of the day."

"So what is the significance of this new approach?"
"1) Minimum requirements are to be guaranteed to all."
"2) Special amenities are to be guaranteed to capable people. Special amenities are for people of special calibre as per the environmental condition of the particular age." (1)

Baba

Eating: principled approach

Namaskar

Our Ananda Marga scripture should be read in a proper perspective. Each discourse must be read as part of a greater whole, and not in isolation or in a vacuum. Only then can one derive the proper meaning of that topic / discourse. So if anyone is referencing the section on food in Caryacarya, then it is also important to be aware about Guru’s teachings from other related texts etc. Because Caryacarya is a very terse publication and not everything can be explained, listed, and written in just a few lines / pages.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/


Make an informed decision

When researching and talking about food and the Ananda Marga dietary recommendations, then any sincere seeker must also study the ahimsa chapter of A Guide to Human Conduct, as well as select discourses from the books, “Neo-Humanism” and “Yoga Psychology.” Those related discourses provide both breadth and depth to the guidelines enlisted in Caryacarya. Only then will one have a more complete and substantial understanding of the topic - i.e. food and dietary guidelines of Ananda Marga. And with that base of knowledge, one can make an informed decision.


Food: in principles of neo-humanism

The system of classifying food is quite important in our Ananda Marga system. Caryacarya essentially enlists which foods are sentient, mutative, and static. And those three categories depict the intrinsic effect any food item will have on the human body and mind. And that is the first tier for evaluating what should and should not be eaten.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Then there are other factors to consider when deciding what to eat. It is important to consult the teachings of neo-humanism and yama and niyama. That means we only eat those foods that (a) have a positive effect on body and mind according to Caryacarya, and (b) are in concert with the philosophical and ethical principles of neo-humanism and yama and niyama.


End up eating the wrong thing

For example, dairy products are sentient. But if the cow is mistreated and / or injected with all kinds of steroids and antibiotics then it will not meet our standard. In a similar manner, rice and wheat are considered to be sentient but if they are grown with harsh chemicals or if one is grossly overeating, then those items are no longer sentient.

Then there are varying rules for hot and cold countries. Some foods are sentient in cold countries yet mutative in hot countries. Side by side, just because something is a plant does not mean that it is proper food for humans. Some plants are tamasik due to their inherent nature and intrinsic quality.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Ours is a multi-tiered system for determining what foods can or should be eaten. Those who are too literal or are looking for leeway are pashu type of margiis and they will end up compromising in some way. Whereas those who are devas will always carefully consider all the factors before ingesting any food.


Not work of a human being

Here is an English summary from Baba’s June 1990, Hind DMC:

We will eat whatever we get, not like that! Eat whatever has a good effect on your body, mind and soul. We will eat whatever we get, that is not the work of a human being. This is not even the work of an animal. Even animals have the idea of food. (English summary)

 
We should bear in mind that everything in this universe is comprised of three inherent qualities - only the percentage varies. Those foods dominated by the sentient factor are considered sentient. At the same time there are numerous factors (overeating, stale or rotten food, added chemicals etc) that can affect / alter the situation etc. And if one is not aware or strict about all such conditions, they may end up eating the wrong thing.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/


Conclusion

It is important to consult the teachings of neo-humanism and yama and niyama. That means we only eat those foods that (a) have a positive effect on body and mind according to Caryacarya, and (b) are in concert with the philosophical and ethical principles of neo-humanism and yama and niyama.

in Him,
Gopeshvara

Follow dharma not doctors

Ananda Marga ideology states, "Suppose a physician says, “As a human, you require animal protein for your health;” but suppose dharma says, “No, a human should not take carnal food;” then in that case you will have to follow dharma and not the physician, because the order of dharma is above all other orders. Dharma is the highest Lord, the highest authority." (1)

Which saint lived by eating bugs & honey

 Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Once I read in a certain book that a great saint used to live only on locusts dipped in honey. That saint did not seriously consider that those little locusts also had vital life force throbbing in them.” (2)

St John the Baptist - John the Baptist - is described as wearing clothes of camel's hair, living on locusts and wild honey. (Courtesy of Wikipedia)

Eating bugs is not allowed in Ananda Marga.

Cruel heart of the human mother does not melt

   Ananda Marga philosophy states, “The mother who feels so much love and affection for her child that she sacrifices everything in life for its comfort and welfare, mercilessly slices young kai fish [walking fish] into pieces without the slightest emotional feeling. The young kai fish cry out in the agony of death, but the cruel heart of the human mother does not melt.”
   “There is still another sentiment – human sentiment. Many persons were born in the past who shed copious tears for suffering humanity. But strangely enough, after their eloquent speeches were over, they sat down comfortably at a dinner table and treated themselves to a delicious meal of hilsa and kaimách fish – as if those fish had not suffered pain and death. This human sentiment has expressly violated the interests of non-human creatures, but its proponents have found nothing wrong with it.”
   “Obviously human beings will have to behave rationally; they must maintain their existence while adjusting with the external environment. It is true that living creatures are the food for other living beings (jiivah jiivasya bhojanam); and indeed, the vegetables that we eat every day also have living cells in them. But regarding food, I have expressed my opinion in some of my books.”
   “This concern for the vital rhythm throbbing in other human creatures has driven people to the fold of humanism, has made them humanists. Now, if the same human sentiment is extended to include all creatures of this universe, then and only then can human existence be said to have attained its final consummation. And in the process of expanding one's inner love to other creatures, there should be another sentiment behind this human sentiment, which will vibrate human sentiment in all directions, which will touch the innermost recesses of the hearts of all creatures, and lead one and all to the final stage of supreme blessedness.” (3)

Silently, tip-toeing

“Saorabha ene man upavane, jhainkrita hiyá tantriite, tumi ásiá chile samgiite…” (Prabhat Samgiita #0618)

Purport: 

O’ Parama Purusa, You came into my mental garden with Your exquisite flower fragrance. You also came with Your divine music and resonated the chords of my heart.

O’ Lord, for ages and ages, the feelings of my heart were lying repressed and suppressed beneath heaps of pain, agony, and sorrow. You miraculously cleared up all those hurtful piles and awakened a new, sentient feeling in my mind, by arriving silently, tip-toeing, and playing Your enchanting melodies and glorious tunes. 

Baba, the nectar of love was covered deep inside the speechless bud of my mind. You removed that cover, opened it, and softly came to me in a most sweet, intimate, and loving way. It is Your causeless grace…

Know these three cardinal principles

Prout philosophy states, “For the all-round welfare and development of human beings, society needs to follow some fundamental socio-political principles. Without the firm foundation of such principles, disunity, injustice and exploitation will flourish. To avoid this and to safeguard the interests of all people, the leaders of society must ensure that cardinal socio-political principles are strictly followed. Otherwise, individual and collective progress can never be achieved.”

“There are three cardinal socio-political principles which should never be violated. First, people should not be retrenched from their occupations unless alternative employment has been arranged for them. Secondly, people should not be forcibly converted from one religion to another. Thirdly, no mother tongue should be suppressed. Occupation, spiritual practice and mother tongue are very important to human beings. If the sentiments associated with them are hurt, human beings will be deeply affected. So, you should never violate these cardinal socio-political principles.” (1)

Cause & cure of laryngitis

  Ananda Marga philosophy states, "There are some diseases – and their number is not negligible – which are carried by the inference of smell. Most of the skin diseases and boils which have a bad smell are carried by the smell inference. The disease of the laryngitis (in which the voice becomes hoarse and ulcers in the throat emit a foul smell) is invariably carried by the inference of smell. Those who sing for long periods of time or deliver lengthy speeches are likely to be attacked by laryngitis which is carried by negative microvita. This disease can be avoided or cured if sarvauṋgásana (shoulder stand) and matsyamudrá (fish pose) are practised regularly in ascending and descending order, then cloves and betel leaves are boiled together and the warm water is drunk through the nose, and the portion of the tongue near the uvula is then cleaned with the middle finger of the hand while the water is still in the throat. Finally, the water should be ejected from the mouth."
   "Negative microvita also attack the human mind through the smell inference. If a person sits in a wine bar or pub and the smell of different alcoholic beverages enters one's nose, the smell will influence one's mind. One may also order a drink from the bar!" (1)

About futility of Gandhism

Ananda Marga ideology states, “Those who don’t accept this spiritual ideology will have to be kept under some social or external pressure to check the greed of usurping others’ property. Proper education will also have to be imparted. However, it should be borne in mind that merely exerting circumstantial pressure is not enough. This pressure tactic will no longer be necessary once the ideology is accepted. Those who believe in spiritual ideals, but don’t believe in the policy of exerting external pressure, in other words, the application of physical force, will find it utterly impossible to achieve their goals. In this world there are many people who pay deaf ear to pious appeals. On such people social or other types of pressure will have to be imposed. No problem will ever be solved if one waits indefinitely for their consciousness to be awakened. Like materialism, spirituality based on non-violence will be of no benefit to humanity. The words of non-violence may sound noble, and quite appealing but, on the solid ground of reality, have no value whatsoever.” (1)

Clave de la excelencia espiritual + PS #4062 (español)

Baba

Clave de la excelencia espiritual

Namaskar,

Para alcanzar la meta última de la espiritualidad, es absolutamente necesario que un bhakta cultive una relación íntima con Dios. Para tener Su proximidad, uno debe cultivar una relación personal (bhava) con Él. Un niño no tiene ninguna relación con el que atiende en el mercado, pero tiene una relación con su madre. Así que el niño ha entregado todo a su madre. Cuando una madre toma la mano del niño para caminar entonces ese niño pequeño no tendrá miedo. Pero si ese mismo niño está caminando de la mano con el que atiende en el mercado comenzará a llorar. Debido a la relación íntima con su madre, el niño ha desarrollado la entrega.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

La entrega depende del grado de intimidad. Si eres muy íntimo con alguien puedes entregarle toda tu cartera, mientras que si la relación es superficial entonces esconderás el 99% de tus pensamientos mentales. El deseo de cualquier sadhaka es realizar a Parama Purusa. Así que el peor enfoque es pensar que Dios ha partido a otro mundo, o que Dios vive en el 7º cielo como predican algunas religiones. Por eso, en el camino del bhakti, Dios entra en el ámbito de un miembro de la familia, está cerca y se confía en Él. A medida que crece la intimidad, la relación cambia. Y, en consecuencia, el grado de entrega aumenta. Si la relación es muy estrecha, la entrega es del 100%. En la vida espiritual, ese es el estado más elevado y exaltado, cuando uno depende 100% de Parama Purusa.

Si el sadhaka piensa que Parama Purusa está muy lejos, entonces debe tratar de comprometerse con Parama Purusa en su sadhana, etc. Y a medida que se comprometen su distancia con Él disminuirá. Un día sentirán que Parama Purusa está muy cerca, y finalmente se convertirán en uno con Él. En esa etapa al sadhaka no le gustará asistir al MPD.
 
Todo el mundo tiene el potencial para el bhakti elevado y esta es la forma en que los sadhakas del pasado han avanzado. Y en el presente y en el futuro también este es el camino que Baba nos ha mostrado. Una idea similar se ha explicado aquí abajo.

Es fácil abrirle el corazón

Cuando uno no se siente cercano entonces un aspirante no puede expresar su sentimiento íntimo con Parama Purusa. Habrá distancia, y eso es muy perjudicial para el progreso espiritual de uno. Es como si no pudieras expresar los sentimientos profundos de tu corazón con una persona con la que no te sientes cercano. Se necesita una relación íntima. Sin una relación cercana y personal con Parama Purusa, uno no puede entregarse. Así que se necesita un vínculo íntimo con la Entidad Suprema, y entonces, por Su gracia, el aspirante se entregará fácilmente a Él.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

Por el contrario, las relaciones mundanas no son fiables; son muy temporales. Si abres tu corazón, corres un gran riesgo. Porque un día la otra persona puede volverse muy distante y explotarte. O se formará una mala opinión de ti. De hecho, contar todo lo que hay en tu corazón a otro ser humano da mucho miedo y es impredecible. Por eso, la gente no abre su corazón por completo a los demás.

Con Parama Purusa es completamente diferente. Él sabe más de ti que tú mismo. Tú no sabes dónde estabas hace 200 años, pero Él sí lo sabe. Del mismo modo, hay algunas cosas que te daba vergüenza contarle a alguien, pero esas cosas Él también las sabe. Así que cuando Él sabe todo sobre Ti, y cuando Él entiende todo sobre ti -incluso conociendo todos tus malos deméritos Él todavía te ama- entonces es fácil abrirle tu corazón.

Regularidad y sinceridad en la sadhana

Una relación íntima significa que no hay brecha o muro o timidez. Hay un 100% de transparencia en los sentimientos. Eso es indicativo de una relación de proximidad. Eso sólo puede ocurrir con Parama Purusa. Para lograrlo, todo lo que se necesita es regularidad y sinceridad en la sadhana. Esto no es un concepto teórico; los bhaktas se dan cuenta de ello. Para aquellos que carecen de tal relación con Parama Purusa, el bhakti no es más que un concepto teórico. Gradualmente cualquiera puede desarrollar este tipo de relación con Él. Entonces, en tu propia mente, Parama Purusa no parecerá una entidad en el cielo lejano, sino el Ser Más Amoroso de tu corazón y de tu mente, que siempre está contigo. Por eso la relación de uno con Parama Purusa es muy significativa.

Cultivar una relación íntima con Él

Para entregarse debe haber una relación íntima y cercana entre un bhakta y Parama Purusa; de lo contrario, uno no puede acercarse ni volverse uno con Él. Por lo tanto, tener una relación es la clave. A continuación se presentan algunos de los tipos de relación que uno puede tener con Él. Y siempre ten en cuenta que la manera de aumentar tu relación actual con Él es haciendo más sadhana.
https://anandamargauniversal.blogspot.com/

(a) En este mundo nadie es ateo. Todos quieren conocer a la Entidad Suprema. No están satisfechos con las diversas definiciones religiosas y dogmáticas de Dios. Así que albergan preguntas, permanecen escépticos y se hacen pasar por ateos. Pero en tiempos de tragedia, esos supuestos ateos también piden ayuda mentalmente a la Entidad Suprema, pero exteriormente nunca lo admitirán. Esto demuestra que tienen algún tipo de relación con Parama Purusa, por distante que sea esa relación. Aquellos que se identifican categóricamente como ateos son hipócritas.

(b) En la siguiente etapa, debido al dogma, la gente piensa que Parama Purusa (Dios) está en algún lugar en el cielo; sienten que, "Él es poderoso, y si hago el mal Él me castigará". Este es también un tipo de relación con Dios.

(c) Luego, debido al dogma, otros piensan que Parama Purusa es grande, pero Él reside en los templos, iglesias y mezquitas, etc., así que "no puedo comunicarme directamente; más bien tengo que ir a través de un sacerdote, mullah, rabino, purohit o pujarii. No puedo tener una relación directa / o vínculo personal con Él ya que es una Entidad distante".

(d) A continuación viene la relación Gurú-discípulo. Entre Gurú y discípulo existe un código de disciplina. Tiene su propia línea fronteriza - más allá de la cual no se puede cruzar o acercarse.

(e) Si la mente del sadhaka está más desarrollada siente que, "La Entidad Suprema es mi Padre. Independientemente de lo poderoso o todopoderoso que pueda ser, ante todo Él es mi Padre. Así que tengo una relación directa con Él. Cualquier problema o felicidad que se me presente siempre puedo comunicarme con Él".

(f) Cuando la mente está un poco más desarrollada, y el grado de cercanía ha aumentado, entonces uno siente que la Entidad Suprema es mi amigo o aún más íntimo, etc.

Conclusión

La relación de uno con Él puede depender parcialmente de los propios samskaras inherentes. Pero una cosa es cierta: Un sadhaka sólo puede tener una relación con Parama Purusa en un momento determinado. A lo largo de la vida, esa relación puede progresar con una sadhana sincera. Pero en un momento dado, un aspirante sólo puede tener un tipo de relación con Él. Por lo tanto, un sadhaka debe seleccionar la relación más adecuada a sus sentimientos. En última instancia, la conciencia unitaria tiene que fundirse en la Conciencia Suprema. Sin una intimidad extrema uno no puede fusionarse. Según las escrituras dhármicas, otro nombre para fusionarse es emtregarse.

Nueva vida

"Jádu nagariyá se, áyá hae ek jádúgar..." (Prabhat Samgiita #4062)

Significado:

Parama Purusa, Mago Supremo del reino mágico, ha tomado advenimiento. Él ha venido del mundo de la bienaventuranza. Por Su llegada, Él ha transformado todo. El universo entero está bailando: Las olas del océano están girando, y las abejas negras están revoloteando rítmicamente sobre las flores. Todos están supremamente intoxicados con Su calidez. Es Su gracia. Sabiendo o no, ellos están balanceándose en Su flujo.

Mira cómo el flujo del río se ha inundado con Su cercanía. Con abundante afecto y el sentimiento amoroso del corazón, el mar está bailando. Nota cómo las abejas en las flores están susurrando y revoloteando alrededor de las fragantes flores. Ve cómo Él ha llenado esta creación entera con Su encanto mágico. Parama Purusa, el Encantador Divino, ¿qué has hecho? Los corazones, que estaban durmiendo en frustración, han florecido de nuevo. Ellos han obtenido nueva vida. Es Tu gracia sin causa. Tú has traído de vuelta la espiritualidad que estaba perdida. La resonancia de la vibración Cósmica es audible en todas partes. La armonía ha llenado todas las direcciones.

Mago Supremo, Parama Purusa, ¿qué has hecho? Tú has hecho que todos los corazones durmientes florezcan y broten. Tú me has bendecido con una compostura celestial y un estado mental bienaventurado. Supremo, Tú has hecho que tanto mi mundo interno como externo resuenen y brillen. Es Tu krpa...
