Baba
== LIKE ANOTHER BREAKAWAY FACTION ==
Namaskar,
By now who is not aware that a few top margii honchos-- i.e. those
comprising the NY Board of Directors-- have taken major steps towards
separation. By changing the by-laws in NY they have attempted to divert the
power into their own hands, thereby creating a schism between NY sector and
the whole of Ananda Marga. This type of dangerous breakaway maneuver they
have recently engineered, at least on paper.
BABA'S SYSTEM OF LEADERSHIP
Of course Baba's stated system and organisational approach is something
totally different. With regards to political leadership, Baba directs us
that it must be centralised.
Baba says, "PROUT supports centralisation of political power and
decentralisation of economic power." (PNS-18)
So Baba's pristine plan is for the consolidation of political leadership.
This is His Proutistic guideline and our AM society is meant to be the
embodiment such an ideal.
TERRIBLY GREEDY TO RULE
But those opportunists in NY-- i.e. the AM Board & NY ACB etc-- suffer from
a serious hankering to grab the power. That is why they have rerouted
Baba's organisational systems and changed the by-laws-- all in hopes that
they can control the playing field and do things like choose their own SS
and run the sector according to their own petty desires. This is their
crazy way of thinking: That separating themselves and breaking away is the
way to get control and unbridled power.
Simultaneously, the hypocritical justification they are giving to margiis
around the sector is that 'breaking away is the ultimate solution to all
our problems'. This is storied way they are painting it to the common margiis.
However, rather than being an answer to any particular problem like the
current groupism in Centre, the NY Board's push towards breaking away is
nothing more than the manifestation of their own inner desire to get some
post and power.
HISTORICAL PRECEDENT: BREAKING AWAY IS POISONOUS
Baba has revealed and it is well documented that during the time of Indian
independence there was a mad rush for political power by a few top leaders.
Rather than being concerned with the unity of the country and welfare of
the people, those political agents like Nehru and Jiina were totally
infatuated with the idea of becoming the King-- i.e. Prime Minister. And
with that lust for power and by chasing after the communal award, they
cracked the whole of India into multiple pieces, thereby creating terrible
chaos and the massive spilling of blood. Why? Just so that they-- Nehru,
Jiina, & Co.-- could both satisfy their egoistic desire of having the top
chair.
So this entire horrible maneuver and political break-up of India was
nothing more than the lust for power by a few greedy leaders. In reality,
what hell they caused to the innocent masses was not their concern so long
as they got the power.
In detailed fashion, Baba Himself has graphically exposed all the
selfishness and corruption during the time of Indian independence. In
numerous discourses He has exposed their crooked dealings to the very bone.
About this every educated margii is aware.
So the whole concept of breaking away is not representative of some noble
ideal or courageous action. It is just the pitiful display of some
low-minded opportunists who want to sit in the top chair-- at any cost.
And this is the very same nasty rut that certain political tycoons of NY
sector are sunk in.
But with their hypocritical tongues, such opportunists on the Board in NY
will justify day and night about the glories of breaking away-- as if this
disastrous approach is the panacea that will end all groupism.
IT IS NO HIDDEN SECRET
It is no secret that currently our AMPS "Central" is undergoing struggle
and strife and that those despots at the helm are just indulging in corrupt
dealing. First Sarvatmanandji was the leading bandit and now Rudranandji is
the top-notch monger. And sure enough on the sidelines others harbor
grandiose dreams of snatching the power. So it is no hidden secret that
things are not proper inside our Marga house.
But disobeying Baba and breaking away from the whole of AM is not the
solution.
Think about it, after separating from Centre where is the guarantee that
those very NY Board of Directors will not become corrupt--or maybe they
already are crooked. In that case is there going to be another schism
within that very breakaway NY party. Sorry to say, but step-wise division
is not the progressive way to build a holistic human society.
POSING AS SADVIPRAS
So these few NY Board members who are trying to rule the scene by breaking
away have no dharmic plan. In reality they do not know what to do. The
proof being that if they did know what to do they would begin by following
Baba's system-- and remain united. But this they have rejected.
And instead they are just faking it and hoping to befool people by breaking
away and posing as sadvipras-- dreaming that by this way they will satisfy
their selfish desire to get more power.
But who is going to get tricked by their lousy approach of breaking away
when it is totally anti-Prout and against Baba's teachings.
TRUE SADVIPRAS FOLLOW THE IDEALS OF PROUT
Only by adhering to Baba's guidelines and the principles of Prout can a
true society be formed. By this way we will recognise those leading
sadvipras: By their adherence to the ideals of Prout. That will be their
trademark. In contrast, those who adopt fancy hellish tricks like breaking
away can never properly lead the collective. This is Baba's warning.
Baba says, "According to PROUT, the rule of sadvipras is the ideal form of
leadership. The establishment of sadvipra leadership will require the
systematic and rational application of PROUT by the collective effort of
many highly intelligent people. Sadvipra rule cannot be established by
blind physical force or idle intellectual extravaganza." (PNS-18)
BABA'S BLESSING
By Baba's divine grace He has given us all the tools to form that unified
human society. By following His God-centered teachings of Prout and
Neo-Humanism all groupism and pseudo-reformist ploys will fade away and one
pristine human family will be born. This wonderful day is soon coming...
Baba says, "One Cosmic ideology will have to be propagated and that
ideology is that one Supreme Entity-- the Cosmic Entity-- Who is the goal
of all living beings. This spiritual sentiment will keep human beings
united for all time to come." (To The Patriots, p. 31)
Namaskar,
Mahendra
Note 1: IRONIC DISPLAY IN NY
These days some margiis in NY have fallen under the break-away spell of
those tall-talking NY Board Members. Here below, by referring to the
history of Bengal, Baba reveals the irony behind such circumstances.
Baba says, "Those same Bengalees who had once fought with all their might
to unify Bengal presented a petition to the British in 1947 to once again
divide Bengal in two. When the two Bengals were united in 1912 the
Bengalees thought that they had won the fight. And when Bengal was again
divided in two in 1947, again the Bengalees thought they had won the fight.
What a tragedy of history! (SC-1, disc 6)
Likewise, for years and years everyone in NY was quite proud to be part of
our global organisational structure-- AMPS. And much was done in support of
that by getting registered and incorporated etc. Yet now, after having
gotten duped by certain NY Board Members, a few people are feeling
glorified by breaking away from that very structure. This is the irony and
tragedy of the day.
Note 2: BABA'S SYSTEMS MUST NOT BE CHANGED
It does not take a genius to understand that currently things in AMPS are
not working properly. Sarvatmanandji's team and Rudranandji's faction have
caused hell all around. But the answer to this is not to therefore change
Baba's defined systems. That would turn a small problem into a catastrophe;
that would be suicidal.
It would be similar to chopping off one's head just because one was
suffering from a minor headache. Obviously cutting off the head is not the
answer. In the same way, jumping ship and tossing aside Baba's systems and
breaking away from AMPS is not the antidote to the current power struggle
in Centre.
By Baba's grace and by adhering to His practices and systems good margiis
and wts are bound to find that perfect solution and make our AMPS a shining
representation of AM ideals. By this way we will surely get victory.
Baba says, "Just as the philosophers' stone is meant to transform
everything into gold, Ananda Marga ideology can most definitely, find a
just and rational solution whenever it is applied to any problem." (POD,
#36, p.47)
Note 3: HERE THEY ARE: THE BREAKAWAY CREW
Board of Directors of Ananda Marga Inc. U.S.A:
Former-SS, Dada Tiirthananda
SOS, Dada Rainjitananda
Dada Phalashuddhananda
Vishvadeva (Eugene, OR)
Arjuna (Los Angeles, CA)
Vinay (Texas)
Valmiki (Asheville, North Carolina)
The aforementioned crew are the ones responsible for changing the by-laws
of NY sector in an effort to grab unbridled control of the sector. This is
their breakaway ploy.

About our AM Dances
Baba says, "You know Lalita Ma'rmika dance used during Kiirtana is a purely
spiritual dance, and Kaos'ikii is a psycho-spiritual dance - it starts on
the psychic level and culminates on the spiritual level. And Ta'n'd'ava is
physico-psycho-spiritual."
"In Lalita Ma'rmika, the position of the arms is above 90 degrees. This
denotes that it is a Mudra' - in Sam'skrta it is called a 'Mudra'. This
mudra' means, 'O Supreme Creator, Thou art mine and I am Yours. I am
Thine'." (AV-12, p.31)
