== TO FORM ONE HUMAN SOCIETY ==
Namaskar,
As this happy new year rolls in and we start 2009, we should again
contemplate how to move forward in creating one human society.
LORD SHIVA & LORD KRSNA'S WORK TO PRESENT
Most are aware that 3500 years ago Lord Krsna tried to unite the then
scattered India. And that time India encompassed a huge area stretching
from present day Thailand to the Middle East. And not only that being a
tropical country, the population was very high since peoples from all over
came and took shelter in that bountiful land. And in the dramatic setting,
the Mahabharata was arranged. So that was the first effort to form one
society-- to unite the various groups and clans.
Prior to that, 7000 years ago Lord SadaShiva also guided the primitive
people of that era not to fight against different gotras. So He tried what
way He could those days-- but it is well accepted that Lord Krsna's efforts
were more intense.
And now today, Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji's approach far surpasses all
prior attempts. Because in numerous fields and various aspects Baba has
graciously put forth many grand and revolutionary ideas-- and He has also
brought them into practice as well. Plus, as we all know, Baba has built
up one colourful organisation and He has collected and attracted people from
all corners of the globe. In that way sadhakas from all parts started
singing the samgacchadhvam mantra in one harmonious voice. Thus, forgetting
all differences of class, color, race, etc.
Overall, people could not even dream that such a thing could occur. Because
since ages and ages so many pseudo gurus and reformers came, but they could
not lead a unified march or remove the fundamental differences of caste,
color etc.
But with His divine touch, Baba has infused so much positive activity and
He has given the universal teaching that no one can be expelled from AM
society.
SARVATMANANDAJI'S NEGATIVE REIGN
Even then as soon as opportunity availed itself, Sarvatmanandji created the
negative and wicked process of expulsion and completely discarded Baba's
teachings. And later on to a lesser degree H group did that same thing. And
now one wrong trend has gotten established-- all due to Sarvatmanandaji's
initial misguided and groupist dealings. As he threatened innocent Wts and
Bhukti Pradhans to carry out and defend his sinful deeds. And he terrorised
others that no one should point out his distortion of Baba's teachings. And
this only led to the further degeneration and factionalism of AMPS.
So in total various factions & factions have emerged and the whole things--
our whole AM society-- is oozing negativity, such that the only way left is
to follow Baba's teachings.
GUARANTEED SECURITY TO ONE AND ALL
As we all know, Baba is quite clearly against any expulsion theory. In HIS
discourse, 'Social Psychology', Baba safeguards the status of everyone in
our Marga. There is no question of outcasting or debarring anyone from
social service or from our AM family. All types of punishment in our Marga
are for a definite period, fixed period, not unlimited. But the very
'expulsion' term means the punishment is lifelong. That is why Baba does
not accept expulsion philosophy. Because ultimately it balkanizes the
society and such type of actions which divide the society have no place in
our Marga.
So again here critical point is that Sarvatmanandaji's invented groupist
strategy of expulsion violates Baba's code that punishment must occur
within a "definite period". Please read the following.
Baba says "The only punishment in our Ma'rga is disallowing offenders from
taking part in social functions for a fixed period." (AFPS-7, p.12)
And in His discourse AM A Revolution, Baba states in many places that
expulsion is prohibited.
Baba says, "Harsh social punishment such as creating outcasts...do not find
any place in our society." (AFPS-7, p.6)
By all this it is clear that there is no case where someone may be
permanently thrown out of our AM society. Expulsion is not an option in
Ananda Marga.
Hence the question then becomes, when expulsion is forbidden in our AM, why
have there been on-going discussions over the year by our respected Acaryas
about how to expel someone? When the very act of expulsion is opposed by
Baba.
After having consulted with senior Margiis, family acaryas, and Bhukti
Pradhans about this most important issue of expulsion, then we came to
certain conclusions to share with one and all.
This whole strategizing about expulsion occurred because both H and B
groups want to reserve their exclusive right to expel someone for their
selfish group interest. That is the nature of the H-B war. Fight for the
post, grab the power, and expel those who oppose you. For many years B
group did like this and then later on H group began following this same
negative pattern.
So both groups are reluctant to revoke the expulsion philosophy. Overall
point is that both the H and B groups are selfish and both want to keep the
weapon of expulsion in their pocket as a means of revenge for today or
tomorrow.
FALSE JUSTIFICATION
Plus one other nonsense thing is going on behind the scenes. Groupist
kingpins are saying & justifying that 'Baba Himself created a Procedure
Order to do expulsion so we Dadas can also do like this'. This is the logic
that those raucous leaders are giving.
GURU'S UNIQUE ROLE
However, we should all be aware that there are many things which Baba did
as Guru in physical life which we disciples should not do. Baba was giving
blessing using the varabhaya mudra, Baba was accepting sastaunga pranam
from Margiis, Baba was lovingly scolding people using His cane, Baba was
allowing devotees to sing kiirtan to Him, and like this there are so many
things which Baba was doing which we disciples should not do. Doing so it
will be sinful.
And the historical example of is there with Lord Krsna also. In physical
life, Lord Krsna had to kill many demons. But we do not have the right to
kill anyone. That is why in our AM scripture Baba has given the teaching
that capital punishment is not good. See in Social Psychology (PNS 3) and
Mass Murder (PNS 15) for reference.
So if any Margii, WT, Central Dada or anyone does any of these things which
only Guru can do --like giving varabhaya mudra or punishing others with a
stick etc-- that will not be good. Rather it will be sinful. It will bring
and lead to that person's degeneration and cause harm to society.
REPERCUSSION OF EXPULSION
Likewise this issue of expulsion is quite clear. If we expel people from
the Marga that will be a contravention of Baba's teachings and surely a
negative result will follow.
Not only that if we accept H and B groups' false logic that expulsion is
allowed then what will people think about AM. Surely the society will think
that Baba is very controversial. Because on the one side Baba's philosophy
grants social security to one and all; and on the other hand AMPS leaders
are expelling members from the Marga just like past religious Hindu and
Christian priests, mullahs, etc did. With their personal vengeance they
mercilessly expelled those who opposed their sinful deeds.
So now our Dadas are following in the same footsteps as those mullahs. They
are turning AM into a religion. Because just as religions did a disservice
to the formation of one human society, same thing we are seeing, step by
step, in our AMPS since 1990.
HOW TO PROCEED
So what is the way? How are we to move ahead? How should we think about all
this?
The overall sense is this. For us our guiding light is Baba's AM scripture.
As disciples we are to follow what Baba has taught, i.e. what He has given
in His scripture to do. And doing those things is our welfare. The things
NOT written in our scripture, i.e. in our shruti, darshan and smrti
shastra, that will be sinful to do.
All the current groups & factions are attached with the outdated religious dogma
of expulsion. And in that way they brought it into AM. But when rational
Margiis and Wts come forward this negative theory of expulsion will be
thrown away and the people responsible for following this expulsion theory
will meet their fate. Because this expulsion theory is contrary to unity
and the creation of one human society.
Here following is Baba's warning
Baba says "In this present age of transition, you are seeing many theories
change and being discarded before your very eyes. If any group of people
clings to the skeletons of the past they will also be rejected." (PNS-13)
BABA'S ULTIMATE SOLUTION
If Baba's dharmic teachings are followed then this will lead to the
formation of one human society. Because after all Baba's blessing is there.
Indeed there is no other way than to follower Baba's teachings. And not
just those inside AM, rather the whole general public will have to follow
Baba's teachings to save themselves. There is no other way.
Namaskar,
Shaelendra
Note 1: Procedure Order = All senior margiis and WTs know that in 1969 some
defectors went against Baba. Means they were against Ista. So because they
went against the Ista, in that unusual circumstance one procedural order
was made in 1969 by Baba. And Baba had full right to do this. And in time
of Lord Shiva and Lord Krsna similar things happened.
But now the situation is completely different. Nobody is against Ista.
People are fighting to root out the corruption in our organisation and they
are getting victimised.
This history of the post 1990 period says that B or H, whoever was in
power misused or abused this power. And they are reaping the consequence. And
those not yet reaping the consequences will reap the consequences of these
sinful deeds in the near future. Demonic laughter and revengeful attitudes
cannot remain any longer in the kingdom of Baba when dharma is everything.

- The Solution -
Baba says, "Whenever there is a conflict between the brain and the heart,
intelligent people should respond to the call of the heart. The books in
A'nanda Ma'rga philosophy are all absolute knowledge. The proper mark of
identity of absolute knowledge is that it must be universal, rational and
psychological. Certain instances of absolute knowledge are as follows --the
goal of human life is the attainment of Brahma; human beings are the
progeny of Parama Purus'a...by dint of sa'dhana' or spiritual practices
human beings gradually become divine." (PNS-18, p.10)
