== ADDENDUM ON PROCEDURAL ORDERS ==
Namaskar,
It is commonly understood that all Baba's mandates-- including all
Procedural Orders-- should be made available to all acaryas and margiis.
Every dedicated Ananda Margii should have access to these important
orders from our Guru, because these orders are related with everyone.
That was made all the more clear by reading the recently posted
Procedural Order on sadhana.
Here is some relevant and important background material on this topic.
SOME OF THE HISTORY ABOUT PROCEDURAL ORDERS
For those who may not be aware, Procedural Orders / Organisational
Orders / Organisational Rules are dictations and documents given
directly by Baba about the overall function and running of our AMPS.
These orders were given by Baba over several decades-- from the very
beginning up to 1990.
As a general rule, Baba would dictate these orders to COS Dada who would
them type them up and distribute the particular order to the relevant
supervisory workers etc, and they would convey & distribute the matter
to all concerned. These orders deal with all organisational departments
including: ERAWS, Finance, ISMUB, Public Relations, Publications, WWD,
VSS, Guru Kul, PCAP, SDM, RU & RW, AMURT, Farm, Proutist Universal, Seva
Dal, and all departments.
And often times, these Procedural Orders dealt with specific problems of
the day and were to act as eternal guidelines. For example, when
Dadas encountered serious health and social problems by eating in
Hotels, then Baba issued the mandate that eating in hotels was
forbidden. Likewise when problems arose due to Dadas teaching sadhana to
sisters, then another injunction was given by Baba correcting the
situation. So, these important directives from Baba are integral
guidelines from that very moment onwards. They are for our daily use and
reference.
VAST SCOPE OF DIRECTIVES
Finally, many of Baba's various mandates might fall within the category
of a Procedural Order such as organisational directives, policy
ordinances, office orders, disciplinary and punishment mandates, justice
codes, ethical standards, general guidelines, transfer posting orders,
and so many other relevant documents that deal with the operation and
running of AMPS. Every subject you can think of is related with this
vast ocean of orders as given by Baba.
Hence, Procedural Orders cover a vast arena of materials that are vital
to the successful development of our Marga. For this reason, awareness
about and access to these materials must be available to all serious
Ananda Margiis.
WHY THE NEED TO DISTRIBUTE NOW
So it is most evident that this is the needed time to distribute Baba's
Procedural Orders among all. Because those at the helm have made their
motive quite clear-- as have all the groupist forces that have been in
power since 1990. In response, rational margiis have lost faith and
trust that such leaders will guide our Marga in the right direction--
already such factional heads have pulled things in the opposite
direction, all done in the name of fake rules etc.
That is why it is so key that every Ananda Margii have access to Baba's
original rules. Then and only then, combined with sadhana, can the
downward spiral be controlled & reversed into a positive direction. Thus
the dharmic codes of discipline and functioning of the organisation must
be made available to all concerned.
HIS GUIDELINES ARE NEEDED
All Baba's teachings, including His Procedural Orders, are greatly
needed to manifest Him mission in the practical world.
Baba says, "For progress in the external world there should be clear
guidelines, a clear and well-integrated philosophical base. The society
often lacks this; and that is why people tend to lose balance in social
life." (NH-LOI: Disc 1)
Tragically, without access to His Procedural orders and organisational
mandates our Marga will not be able to move ahead. That is why His codes
and directives must be accessible to all. It is the need of the day.
BABA'S BLESSING
By Baba's grace, by following all His teachings and mandates, our Marga
will have the perfect solution for each and every problem and trouble
that arises--- thereby bringing welfare to all.
Baba says, "Dharma lays down clear guidelines for moving ahead in
perfect adjustment with the prevalent situation." (AMIWL-7)
Namaskar,
Divyacaksu

Mean & Sinful Earnings
Baba says, "A person engaged in an unclean or low-level profession.
"Unclean" or "low-level" profession generally referred to four kinds of
professions in ancient times:
(a) Religious merchant, that is, those who earned their living by
capitalizing on the religious sentiment of the people.
(b) Moneylender or usurer.
(c) Dispute-mongers [certain advocates or lawyers], that is, those who
earn their money by creating disputes among people.
(d) Death professionals, that is , those who earn their money from the
dead, such as can'd'als, cremators, professional eulogizers, agrada'nii,
mad'uipod'a', and so on. (SC-3, p. 121)
Note: With regards to the exploitation carried out by the above
mentioned "religious merchants"-- in all the religions they do like
this. Means in Islam, Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, & Hinduism etc.
Religious merchants from each of these religions involve in all types of
tricks and manipulations and in that way they cheat the common followers
by inventing ways to get at their money and take advantage of the common
people. All done with the sole reason to build up their fake religious
business and collect money for their own selfish desires and greed. So
in that what this continues in each of the dogmatic
religions.
