== ALL GOT THE CHANCE TO COME CLOSE TO BABA ==
Namaskar,
Our Beloved Baba is the Parama Purusa Incarnate-- the most loving One. And
His advent on this dusty earth stands as one unique & holy episode whereby
He has showered and His love and grace on one and all.
Here following is a brief remembrance of His liilananda as well as how He
has graciously guaranteed the formation of a single, unified human society.
HIS DIVINE LIILA
How can one forget those days of reporting sessions with Baba, when He used
to come and sit among all. This days His very attendants would get ready
beforehand, and then when Baba would enter in the room, then everyone
prostrated in sastaunga pranam. We all remember this as something so
blissful; the room was totally charged with His loving flow.
And after that everybody would stand for reporting. And what many have
understood, is that reporting was just His divine game. His liila. In the
name of reporting, all kinds of people-- good or bad, highly educated or
less intelligent-- everyone got the opportunity to come close and have His
grace. His liila is infinite.
In history we see that at the time of Lord Krsna, devotees only got the
unique opportunity to come close to the Lord, in Krsna's childhood -- in
the Vraja period. And when later Lord Krsna became king, then the common
people were not allowed to go close.
Whereas in the case of Baba, a similar thing is not there. In Baba's case
both the roles Vraj and Parthasarati, both were working side by side. These
two roles were mixed with one another, mingled together. So we cannot
distinguish Baba as two personalities.
It cannot be said for example, that Baba was different prior and post '66.
It was not like that. As we know Lord Shiva has one personality, in a
similar way Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji has only one personality. And
that personality is beautified with all kinds of greatness.
BABA'S GRACIOUS WAY: EVERYONE COMES CLOSE
Even illiterate folk from the remote villages got the blissful opportunity
to come close and sit on Baba's lap. And this was not limited with the time
prior to '66, but all along up to '90. Everyone knows this thing.
For Baba there is no difference between high and low, rich and poor.
Everyone used to sit collectively in the same Dharma Maha Cakra Pandal, on
the dust. And Baba used to express His concern with one and all, and talk
with whom He likes, with one or another pretext. There was no
differentiation.
As Parama Purusa, He plays liila in various ways. So Baba played His liila,
by the medium of various reportings, dharma samiiksa, gardening programs,
Dharma Maha Cakra, field walks, and so many other things. Because the liila
of Parama Purusa is infinite.
The central point is that Baba used to link with each and everyone in very
sweet, intimate way. There was no question of giving any importance to
social status, as happened in Lord Krsna's time.
Everyone witnessed that Baba's sweet charming presence was there all along
from the very beginning, up till now.
And as Parama Purusa is infinite, His story is also infinite. About Him,
nobody has the capacity to write or express anything. Because thinking
about Him, mind gets dissolved.
THE RISE-- AND FALL-- OF GROUPISM
Unfortunately nowadays since 1990 certain group leaders have built up their
own camps tried to spread the negativity factionalism all around.
First Sarvatmanandaji bulldozed ahead with his B group supremacy tactics
and that created the backlash of Rudranandaji's rise to power as he is now
ruling the scene. And day by day these two kingpin's try to spread their
venom throughout our Marga.
Tragically, those who are weak-minded and imbalanced or have a selfish
agenda get enticed by or lured into one of their narrow-minded camps.
But those following that path of sadhana outrightly reject the factional
interest of the various groups. True Ananda Margiis clearly recognise the
dark elements at work and that such groupist agencies have nothing to do
with the real mission of Ananda Marga. That is why most margiis have
rejected groupist propaganda and are only involved in following Baba's
sweet ideals of universalism and unity.
Some may be thinking that this group clash will never end. But no one
should harbour such ideas. Rather the terrorist type of days of B or H or
EC group's rulership is fast coming to a close. Because when good people
have mentally tossed out the black agenda of groupism then the physical
expression of groupism itself is numbered; it will not last long.
And top of all, Baba's grace is there-- ensuring the creation of a dharmic
& united AM society.
UNITY IS OUR WAY
Here following is one of Baba's teachings how unity-- and not separatist
movements-- is the only path of Ananda Margiis.
Baba says, "The unity of A'nanda Ma'rgiis should not be allowed to be
jeopardised for any reason. Unity should be maintained even at the risk of
your life." (CC, part II, 'Society' chapter, point #13)
And here again Baba is emphasizing the path of unity.
Baba says, "Sam'ghe shaktih...the real strength lies in an organised body.
That is to say, people should live unitedly." (AV-7, p.65)
ONE HUMAN SOCIETY
Baba points out how groupism is one antiquated approach and that by His
grace we will form the great society based on the spiritual ideal of AM.
Baba says, "What we want is the rule of rationality. Human society is one
and indivisible...This is what the spiritual philosophy of A'nanda Ma'rga
says. Only due to dogmas, people think in terms of heterogeneity. There is
only one ideology in the world which is not only all-embracing but also
all-pervading." (PNS-12, p.2)
BABA'S BLESSING
Here below Baba is granting His divine assurance and ensuring our success.
Baba says, "In the future, the honest and virtuous people of the society
will respond to your call and will unite." (AV-7, p.64)
Namaskar,
Manindra

Good Teaching
Baba says, "Those who wrongly worship Parama Purus'a in the form of clay,
iron, or other material substances, are ultimately transformed in
Prakrtiliina*. And those who run around externally in hopes of finding
Parama Purusa outside, they also be come Prakrtiliina." (15 May 1982, Hindi
Section)
Note: Those who are searching Baba in one or another holy land, they should
be especially careful about this above teaching.
*Prakrtiliina= This is one type of microvita which is under punishment of
reaping of reaping its own negative samskaras. **************************************************
