== REMINDER NEEDED, UNFORTUNATELY ==
Namaskar,
It is unfortunate that still this matter has yet to be rectified, hence
this reminder. By Baba's grace, we will be able to follow His will.
As we all strive to overcome the troubles of groupism in our organization,
AMPS, it has become quite evident that the Margi side of the organization
needs to be built up. Baba has given a very significant role to Margis in
guiding our AMPS organization. To this end He has created the Bhukti
Pradhan post and the ACB (Advisory Committees and Boards). Through these
two structures and other such positions, Margis have a very pivotal and
formative role in determining the direction of AMPS. Guiding AMPS plans and
programs. However, due to the negative, power-seeking aims of both B and H
group leaders, Margis have been suppressed. And the important positions of
BP and ACB which were given by Baba have been reduced to ashes. That means
Margis' official channels for giving guidance--the BP and ACB posts--have
been manipulated by both H and B groups and converted into mere puppet
posts. Please see below for the critical details.
BABA STORY: BP POST IS VERY IMPORTANT
Love Personified Taraka Brahma Baba has given much importance to the Post
of Bhukti Pradhan. Once Baba was praising the baby of one Margii family &
while Baba was giving His blessing He said that one day this baby would
become Bhukti Pradhan. So this incident expresses how much importance Baba
gives to the post of Bhukti Pradhan.
For this reason, when Caryacarya Part 1 (Hindi Edition) was printed in 1985
& English Edn 1986, the Bhukti Pradhan chapter was included in the
beginning of the book as Chapter 4, immediately after the
Acarya/Tattvika/Purodha Chapter. By giving BPs their proper place in
Caryacarya, Baba's intention was that BPs would come with Acaryas &
Purodhas in importance.
GROUPIST LEADERS INTERCEDED
However, in the 1995 edition of Caryacarya I, B group leaders altered
Caryacarya. And they mischievously moved the Bhukti Pradhan Chapter to
Chapter 34, after the "Widow" Chapter. What an insult to the post of Bhukti
Pradhan & bringing down the status of BP. That time Margiis when first saw
this then who could tolerate this degradation.
This disrespect to the post of Bhukti Pradhan is a glaring example of how
low the post of BP is in the eyes of B and H group leaders. It is just like
in a dogmatic Hindu society where the Harijans (sweepers, cobblers etc.)
are treated as untouchables, worse than animals, yet they are part of Hindu
society. It is so painful. This is just all dogma. But it seems that our B
and H group leaders also think that Margiis are very low, just like
untouchables. If this trend of seizing Margii rights continues then when
the next edition of Caryacarya Pt.1 is printed, this Bhukti Pradhan chapter
will be ousted from the book and thrown in the garbage bin. Because
unfortunately the situation is moving in that negative direction.
NOT THE FIRST TIME
And in the past such mischievous things were done to other publications
such as the deleted paragraph from the AM Revolution discourse.
SOME HISTORY
It should be noted here that the suppression of Margi rights was done first
by B group. And then when H group got power, they followed the example of B
group in heavily limiting Margi rights. On this point of repressing Margis,
B and H groups are both involved-- each for their own selfish agenda.
ALTERATION OF THE BP MANUAL
For example, Dada Sarvatmananda altered the 1997 BP election manual so
that Margis were completely under the control of WTs. If any Margi spoke
out, they would be banned from participating in the BP elections.
Prohibited from taking part either as candidate or as voter. And
corruptions in the BP system were all put in print by Dada Sarvatmanandji
in the altered '97 BP manual. Any rational person who reads this altered
manual will immediately understand that the manual has been corrupted with
a view to suppress Margis by making the BP into a puppet post.
Due to the above corruptions in the BP manual, all know that good margiis
were victimised for speaking out against injustices and as such were not
allowed to serve as BP.
Dada Sarvatmananda and his B group supporters initially did all these
corrupt alterations in the past and now H group has adopted all those
negative policies and procedures in order to amass more power.
OTHER IMPORTANT MARGII POSITIONS
Since the time of introduction of the BP system by Baba Himself, certain
narrow-minded WTs had been searching for the opportunity to ruin this BP
system. And step by step, take away all the rights of BPs, UBPs and general
Margiis.
Of course Baba also created the global ACB and PKB which have the right to
guide and help in policy making in the entire AMPS organization up to the
highest levels in the organization. The whole point being that the AMPS
administration was designed to take advice from the ACB. Otherwise we can
say that without the advice of the ACB, our AMPS administration will go in
the wrong direction. And that's exactly what is happening today.
Over the last decade and a half, B and H group leaders have abandoned the
ACB system-- or more precisely they kidnapped it and stuffed it with their
own people. They are not caring to take any advice from the regular Margiis.
In result they have invited catastrophe in our holy AMPS. There is no need
to give any example to prove this point.
Baba has designed this AMPS structure so that there will always be strict
vigilance from the Margiis side through the ACB and BP system. This is so
that, in future negative persons who are not ready to follow AM ideology
wholeheartedly must not get any opportunity or scope to hijack and misuse
this vast organization AMPS.
BABA'S BLESSING
Baba says, "Remember Him and march ahead-victory will be yours. You have
not to be afraid of the worldly forces. Those who enjoy the highest force
of Paramapurus'a are sure to succeed. Victory will surely be theirs.
Victory to you all." (SS-19, p. 24)
Namaskar,
Sukhadeva
Note: The following is Baba's original and true paragraph from His
discourse "AM A Revolution about Margii rights. This is the paragraph which
is now severely altered and taken out from Baba's books. Means
Sarvatmananda and crew cut it out of numerous publications and replaced
it with something totally fake. Now please examine the following and see in
what way they distorted Baba's teachings in order to meet their own selfish
agenda.
(A) Here is the original and correct version of the paragraph about Margii
rights:
"Ananda Marga does not discriminate between a family person and a sannyasi
(renunciate). The place given to a family person in our Marga is greater
than the place given to a sannyasi, based on the reason that the former is
not dependent on anyone for his or her maintenance, while the sannyasi has
to depend on others. A family person is like a strong tree which is
self-supporting, while the sannyasi is like the vine which twines around
the tree for its support. A family person therefore deserves more respect
than a sannyasi, according to the trend of thought in Ananda Marga. This
itself is a revolutionary idea. No philosopher or thinker, whether eastern
or western, had ever dared to declare a family person as deserving more
respect than a hermit or a sannyasi. It needed the courage of a
revolutionary to say so." (PNS-11, p.7)
(B) Here is the distorted version of the paragraph about Margii rights:
"Ananda Marga does not discriminate between a family person and a
sannya'sii (renunciant). It required the courage of a revolutionary to say
so."
So it can be seen, very clearly that in the distorted version they kept
only the first and last sentences of the paragraph from Baba's original
discourse. And they cut the entire middle section which discusses Margii
rights and guides how Margiis are to be given a proper place in our AMPS.
Certainly everyone knows that this distortion was done by B group-- and
Sarvatmananda took help from many H group Dadas who were his pawns those
days. But B group was the instigator of all this negativity and H group
Dadas followed along so as not to incur the wrath of Sarvatmananda. And
also to get some prize (i.e Purodhaship) as well.
But nowadays all the WT groups (the ruling H group, B group and even the
sub-factions) are unfortunately of the same platform-- of not to
grant Margiis Rights. Groupist Wts deem this paragraph as a
threat to their prestige. When in reality this paragraph is truly a
unifying force because with the cooperative efforts of Margiis and WT's our
Marga will grow into a healthy society.
According to Baba's teaching developing one human society is our goal, not
dividing the entire family to pieces. We have to form one AM society which
is like a monolithic rock. When our Guru, Ista, and Adarsha is one, then
what is the question of division, repression, or suppression.
BABA says, "The noble and righteous persons bound by fraternal ties, are
eager to assert in one voice, with one mind, and in the same tune, that
human society is one and indivisible." (PNS-7, p. 9)

Importance of Padma'sana
Parama Purus'a BABA says, "Padma'sana [lotus posture] is just like a lotus
in full bloom. Just as the roots and stem of the lotus remain under the
water and only the leaves and flowers float about it-- and although it is
born in the mind it sustains its love for the stars-- in the same way
people sitting in this lotus posture and remaining in the world, can keep
their minds above their mundane environment. That is why on the path of
sa'dhana' this posture has tremendous importance." (NSS, '85, p. 241)
