== JACKAL POSING AS A LION ==
Namaskar,
Just recently the power-seeking EC (Effecting Change) camp held their
weekend confernece and global meeting in Maharashtra. This below letter is
based on the outcomes and resolutions of their gathering.
FLOWERY THEME OF THE DAY
We have now entered the era where all kinds of walks of life are coming
forward with a loud trumpet-bugle and a big blow of the horn to publicly
announce that they are 'the great dharmikas' and they have come to 'save
the day'.
To attract the masses, such opportunists, like the EC (Effecting Change)
camp and various ACB members, boldly proclaim that from today they are not
going to tolerate any groupist dealings: Everything must be "ideological".
This type of flowery talk they give.
As if all the atrocities of groupism started just now-- just today. When in
fact all the dirty injustices of extreme factionalism have been rampant
since 1990.
And what these EC fellows fail to say, what they are unable to hide is that
they themselves are the very ones who for years and years were the hands
and feet of those various group leaders. Such EC cronies themselves for
years and years meekly kissed up to the factional powers in order to get a
piece of the pie, i.e. post.
But now that the tables have turned-- i.e. now that the reputation of those
group leaders is like mud-- these EC opportunist types have switched their
side and are now suddenly posing as the kings of dharma and making high
assertions like "no more groupism" and "ideology is tops". These have
become the fashion phrases of the day for such type of opportunists.
JUST A POLITICAL PLOY NOT A TRANSFORMATION FROM WITHIN
A few sadhakas may be naively thinking that those EC puppets really
underwent a dramatic change within and now they are really the flagbearers
of justice and nobility etc.
But here Baba cautions us about such chameleons like EC who constantly
shift their position for their own political gain. Such persons do not
undergo a real reversal inside. Their heart does not change so easily, just
their political strategy switches. This is Baba's warning.
Baba says, "There may be some people who will consider this change of
sentimental strategy to be a natural process of evolution, but in fact it
is not evolution but a metamorphosis of strategy. Evolution does not take
place so quickly nor so easily." (NH-LOI: Disc 10)
VACUUM IS PRESENT
Amidst all this scheming, one of the main circumstances is that at present
in our Marga there is a switchover going on. There is an opening at the top
of the structural pyramid.
A time of change is in the air and a big transition is happening: The old
ideas of groupism etc are being thrown out by the common people-- by
margiis around the globe. So now a variety of opportunists like EC are
colouring themselves differently and vying to fill the gap to grab the power.
Here Baba is warning us about this very circumstance.
Baba says, "There is an ideological vacuum... it will be filled up in a
short time. This vacuum has to be immediately filled with a strong guiding
and controlling force. You should fill it with your intellectuo-intuitional
strength. If you sit idle some other demonic non-spiritual theories can
become active and occupy that vacuum." (PNS-18)
So in His above teaching, Baba is warning us that if dedicated margiis do
not come forward then another factional tribe will fill that spot.
Previously there was the switchover from B to H, from Sarvatmananda to
Rudrananda. And now, if we are not careful, the EC bandits-- who are really
nothing more than the puppets of Sarvatmananda-- will converge on scene.
Indeed already they are doing so.
THE EC FACTION CONVENES FOR A HOLIDAY
PROCLAIM THEMSELVES AS CHAMPIONS OF DHARMA
To gain momentum and garner support for their groupist ploy, the EC Parade
took a holiday out to a delightful hill station. That is, last weekend
(April 21-23) they had their premier get together in picturesque Lonavla--
situated about 60 km from Pune (110 km from Mumbai on the Mumbai-Pune
Highway). In total they had around 90 attendees from 7 states of India,
plus a couple overseas were also present.
As you might have guessed, at their fancy retreat site they sat at round
tables, ate tasty treats, and made their grand plan to revolutionize AM,
placing themselves at the top, posing as being the great benefactors of all.
And in their grandios manner they delivered their sermon of dharma:
"The appeal is being made to all WTs and margiis that they
should develop moral courage to stand for the ideological values."
(Point #6 of the recent EC Resolutions)
Here above the top dogs of the EC forum like Dr. Jitendra Singh are placing
a call to everyone: All should follow in EC's courageous footsteps and
follow dharma.
So see their haughtiness and arrogance-- when in actuality their
proclamation about dharma is nothing but a farce.
Because all are aware that for years and years to keep his image high and
mighty Dr. Jitendra Singh was a goody-goody lackey for Sarvatmanandji and
Rudranandji. Those days Dr. Jitendra Singh did not make a peep about any
injustice. He was aware that BP rights were being dismantled and scriptural
distortions were being executed etc, but for those entire 16 years the
'great dharmika' Dr. Jitendra Singh was as well-behaved and quiet as a
mouse-- he kept mum out of fear that he would lose his chair and respect.
But now-- suddenly-- when the winds have changed, the EC cronies led by Dr.
Jitendra Singh, among others, are standing on their mountain of fake
courage and proudly espousing the glories of dharma and boldly condemning
the evils of groupism. Now that it is in vogue to speak like this.
But about their own black history of the past 16 years, they keep
absolutely mum-- secretly hoping that no one is looking. Indeed they do not
express one iota of repentance about that.
TWO SUB-PLOTS FROM THEIR HOLIDAY RETREAT
There are at minimum two more sub-plots from the recent EC gathering in
beautiful Lonavla.
1. To make it look like they have lots of followers and supporters etc,
they made a blanket invitation to everyone to 'Come and Enjoy'. And not
only that, Dr. Jitendra Singh-- rented out comfy guest hotel suites for all
attendees and he paid 100% of everyone's food and lodging. So just as
various crooked politicians and conniving capitalists do this very trick to
make a show of support, similarly the EC team borrowed this page from their
playbook. And they paid for everyone to boost their following.
At the same time no should get befooled and think that Dr. Jitendra Singh
is generous in the wallet-- never. Because with his overseas millions and
Australian bank accounts etc, for him to spend a few Indian rupees for
hotels and food is a paltry amount for him. So he did it-- all to enhance
his prestige etc.
2. The second point of note is that at the culmination of this holiday
retreat, EC unveiled their sporty new name: 'EPC', meaning 'Effecting
Progressive Change'. So either they were not progressive earlier or now
they are attempting to befool others that they have become progressive.
Anyway it is all for show-- what more need to be said.
SOME MORE THINGS ABOUT THEIR RESOLUTIONS
While their list of resolutions is somewhat long-- 21 points total-- the
whole thing reads as if EC, excuse me E-P-C, is already the embodiment of
dharma and everyone else needs to catch up to their great pace.
But all along they were the yes-men and foot soldiers to so many groupist
injustices. And by following the orders of Sarvatmanandji or Rudranandji,
they would shut the mouth of any margii who tried to oppose those
wrong-doings. In this horrendous way, these EC scoundrels victimised so
many innocent margiis. And still today they are not coming forward to admit
their mistake.
Another outcome of their EC conference is that they have opted to hold
these holiday meetings 3-4 times a year; AND, they plan to send their
resolutions to the Purodha Board and have a sitting with them about the
resolutions in the future. But anyone with any sense knows full well that
it will be a cold day in hell before the Purodha Board sits down with EPC t
o discuss their resolutions. That means it will never happen; just EPC is
living in their dreamland.
By reviewing this entire matter it becomes more and more evident that the
EPC people are nothing but a bunch of jackals posing as lions. They have
not an ounce of courage or bravery inside. Just they are howling political
opportunists.
BABA'S WARNING
Here is Baba's strict warning about EC / EPC type of people.
Baba says, "Those who are intentionally misleading common people should be
exposed so that they do not get any further scope to exploit the innocent
masses." (PNS-15)
Thus everyone should be alert; we must not allow any in AM to get duped by
the false glory of the EC or EPC or whatever they claim themselves to be.
Because, after all, the so-called leaders of the EC are nothing but the
pawns of Sarvatmanandji in the wrestling match against the crooked
Rudrananda. All are just hungry for power. There is nothing ideological in
their dealing.
BABA'S BLESSING
By Baba's divine grace those who truly follow His guidelines are the real
benefactors of society-- and they alone will lead the humanity ahead.
Baba says, "Those who move along this path [of true spirituality] make
their lives glorious and effulgent, and their sweet radiance illumines and
glorifies all other minds in this harmonious universe...On these people
alone can all of humanity rely. Their victory is assured." (NH-LOI, Disc 2)
Namaskar,
Pramod
Note 1: ONE OTHER RIDICULOUS RESOLUTION
The EC / EPC faction ridiculously thinks that by collecting all the various
groupist camps and making one big pow-wow gathering then unity will be
achieved. This is their deluded vision.
Here Baba guides us that when the dogmatic religions of groups get together
then they cannot create unity.
Baba says, Question: "How far is the unification of all religions possible?"
"Answer: The question of the unification of religions does not arise."
(TK-1, Q & A #49)
So just as bringing all the dogmatic religions under one roof will not lead
to the establishment of unity or dharma, similarly bringing all the
poisonous groups together will not have a righteous outcome. Unity cannot
be achieve in this way.
It is just like if one were to bring patients together who are suffering
from various diseases like AIDS, Cancer, Syphilis, Tuberculosis, Malaria.
Then exposing those sick patients to each other will not cure them. That
will not make them disease-free. Rather they will get more sick and suffer
from new infections and ultimately die a horrible death.
Likewise bringing together all the groupist factions will not bring any
positive result--it will just lead to more groupism and more splintering.
The diseases of groupism will multiply. So this is yet another ludicrous
assessment by the EC. Ultimately by seeing their stated resolutions perhaps
we should just say that EC stands for 'Endless Chaos'-- nothing more. Their
faulty ways will never bring any positive result. Only more and more
groupism.

Origin of Polo
Baba says, "The well-known modern game of polo originated in Manipur's Kobe
Valley...Originally, only royal princes used to play the horse-riding game
of polo. For that a very hard ball was needed. The kind of bamboo that was
used, used to grow in the eastern portion of Rarh, in slightly salty soil.
Still today the best bamboo for making polo balls grows in the Uluberia
suvdivision of Howrah District and in Midnapore District's Tamluk
subdivision." (SC-3, p. 71)
