== REFLECTION ON OUR LATE PP DADA ==
Namaskar,
With the passing of PP Dada, we should take a moment to reflect upon his
conduct as PP. What did he do right; what did he do wrong. And how did this
affect the organisation. This will help us better understand the dynamics
of the PP post as well as how the new PP should behave.
PP POST IS SOCIAL POST; REV BABA IS SPIRITUAL HEAD
In our Caryacarya, Baba has given the provision about Purodha Pramukha.
Among all the social posts in the organization, Purodha Pramukha is the
most powerful social post. For example:
(A) All the organizational executive decisions must reach to Purodha
Pramukha for his discretionary and final judgment.
(B) PP's post is for whole life long.
(C) In the Purodha Board, PP's single vote has decisive meaning.
(D) Each of the judiciary decisions also must reach to Purodha Pramukha for
his final approval.
(E) So many more rights he has.
In a single word it can be said that the Purodha Pramukha post is the
highest social post in our Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha.
But of course, as everyone is aware Baba being the Guru is the spiritual
head of Ananda Marga.
ONE MUST FOLLOW DHARMA
Baba warns in his various discourses that nobody should go against the
dictates of dharma. Because,
(A) "Svadharme nidhanam' shreya paradharmah bhaya'vahah"
Following one's own dharma and dying, is better than following animal
dharma. Because treading on animal dharma is horrifying. It invites one's
own annihilation.
(B) It is also said, "Dharma raks'ati raks'itah." Dharma saves those who
follow dharma. And those who go against dharma, they invite their ruination.
This above Baba's teaching gives this feeling, that whosoever may be, if
going against the guideline of dharma. They invite their degeneration. In
case of our late PP Dada, we have no right to overlook the situation
because it has affected one and all. Inside, as well as outside Ananda Marga.
REASON BEHIND THE DOWNFALL
So we should see that, what happened to PP? Why he die he lose his social power
and status amidst the current group conflict? What wrong did he do.
The point being that the new PP should not commit such mistake(s) and
invite their own degeneration as has happened with our late PP Dada.
The sense is that the Purodha Pramukha post has very strong power. But our
latest our PP was powerless. How did this happen? What
is the cause behind this? What happened to PP Dada, that brought this
unfortunate situation?
Despite having all sorts of organizational power, he became
like one sheep. Under his nose, the whole organization fell apart.
And he helplessly witnessed it all. So here, the critical point is: How did such a
powerful post became useless, meaningless. And that post just got
exploited.
The answer is simple. PP Dada did not follow Baba's dictate of dharma.
Although all the senior Margis are aware about this, but it is our
collective duty to not allow this to happen to the next PP. So it needs
reminding how Dada Shraddhanandji lost his authority and how he became
powerless. What was the hidden reason.
It is obvious that these following points which are Baba's dictates.
But Dada Shraddhanand disobeyed and in result, we see what happened. The PP
post had no dynamism or power.
It is the same as when the life force is gone from the structure. Then
superficially looking all the organs and limbs are present. But it is
treated as a dead body. Unfortunately, that situation PP Dada created for
his own-- by not obeying Baba's divine guideline.
Please also know that this is not just about the situation of recent months, but
rather the history that since '91, when Dada Shraddhanandji became PP & he was strong
and healthy and travelling all around the globe, even then PP Dada Shraddhananda
was not following basic aspects of bhagavat dharma which are mandatory
for each and every Ananda Margii.
GOING AGAINST THE CODE OF BHAGAVATA DHARMA
Since 1991, these dharmic points noted below wer not followed by PP Dada:
(1) PP Dada did not attend any Paincajanya.
(2) PP Dada never attended any collective kiirtan program.
(3) PP never attended any dharmacakra program.
(4) PP never sang Prabhat Samgiita. Instead he created his own silly Tuk
Bandi, or haphazard collection of words.
(5) PP was an ordinary human being. Even then, foolishly he treated himself as
a God incarnate as if he did not need not to do collective Guru puja sitting on same
level according to Caryacarya because, according to the rules which Baba
has given, Parama Purusa is one and we are all His disciples. Even PP. Nobody is
in between God and human beings. The age-old dogma propagated by Islam, Christianity
and dogmatic Hinduism is that there is a medium between disciples and God.
That very dogma has been rooted out and thrown awayin the garbage bin of AM.
But PP still involved himself in that dogma. Because he always sat on the dais,
and did not come down to the same level to do guru puja according to the
commands of Caryacarya.
How painful it is that in Caryacarya part I Baba has clearly written, that
(a) to follow dharmacakra, (b) do Guru puja sitting in same level, and (c)
to follow paincajanya are fundamental duties of Ananda Margiis. But PP Dada
thought himself to be above all this. And that led to his downfall.
IN AM CONDUCT IS THE MAIN THING
As we know, in AM, conduct is the main measuring rod.
And Baba says, "Your ideal is represented by Your conduct". (AV #13)
Although PP Dada was the designated social head of AM, he could not
follow so many basic, fundamental required duties of Ananda Margiis.
PP DADA THOUGHT THE JAI SLOGAN WAS FOR HIS OWN GLORY
(6) How painful it is that PP Dada enjoyed receiving "Parama Pita Baba ki
Jai" slogan. He never participated. All Margiis & WTs feel blessed by
raising "Parama Pita Baba ki Jai" slogan. But since 1990 nobody saw PP Dada
once even raise this slogan Parama Pita Baba ki Jai. When the slogan is raised,
then PP would fold his hands and smile as if he were Baba.
That is why many senior Dadas were commenting that PP Dada lost his sense of
right and wrong.
There are innumerable aspects how PP Dada wazs not following 16 points, so he
lost his senses and simple problems became chronic. And step by step he just
became the tool or punching bag of various group leaders.
So it is clear then that, so many dharmic points PP Dada did not follow.
And due to this, chaos occurred on inside our AM, mostly done in the name
of PP.
INNER WEAKNESS
This all happened because of PP Dada's inner spiritual weakness-- due to
his dislike for following Baba's guidelines and 16 points. As a result of
which, he could not be a proper leader for AM and maintain the spirit of
unity among one and all.
Had PP Dada followed Baba, these things would never have happened.
Rather, these problems would have been solved. So PP Dada Shraddhananda's
going aginst Baba's dharmic mandates is the main cause-- nothing else.
Keeping this view in mind strict vigilance is needed in the selection of
a new PP.
BABA'S BLESSING
Baba says, "...Through clashes and conflicts one must move towards the
Supreme Desideratum...Keep moving onward, singing the song of the forward
march." (AV #65)
Namaskar,
Cinmay
Note: AN EXAMPLE OF SHRADDHA SHUMAN
Instead of following dharma and learning Prabhat Samgiita, the idea was put
in our late PP Dada's mind that he should compose his own songs. That was
Sarvatmananda's plan in order to deify the post of PP. And our late
PP Dada fell into this trap.
The following is one Shraddha Shuman song of our late PP DadaShraddhanandji.
It is one of the thousands upon thousands of songs which PP Dada composed and
published using AMPS funds.
Rather than promoting Baba's divine songs of Prabhat Samgiita, huge money and
effort went into promoting these silly compositions by PP Dada.
By reading the below, it will be clear why many say that that the late PP Dada's
songs are "Tuk Bandi" i.e. foolish rhymes.
The words in Bojpuri language appear first. Each line is followed by the English translation.
SHRADDHA SHUMAN Song, #8224
(1) TV ke aviska'r se, ketana suvidha ho gaili ba'
With the invention of TV, it became very comfortable
(2) Ghar hi vaithal log, sa'ri ghatana'ke jani ja't ba'
Sitting in the house, people get all the news
(3) Duniya'n men ketana' liila, krida ho rahal ba'
So many games and sports are going on in the world
(4) sabh log unhaninn ke Dekhi rahal ba', a' suni rahal ba'
Everyone is watching those games and listening also
(5) Katahin natak katahin mahabharat, katahin ramayan ke dekat ba'
Some people are watching drama, some serials, some mahabharat plays, some
Ramayana
(6) ketana manohar drshy ba', dekhe men acaraj lagat ba'
I feel surprised while seeing this on television, how beautiful it is.
(...This is the end of PP Dada's song about "watching television".)

Health Guideline: Impotency is on the Rise
These days around the globe in so-called advanced countries impotency is on
the rise. In western countries, impotency is not very uncommon. Proof of
this is that adoption agencies are earning a lot of money; they bring
children from very poor areas like Africa, parts of Asia, free of cost and
sell them to Euro-American countries for thousands of dollars. But the main
problem is that impotency & infertility are on the rise. Here Baba gives
the causes as well as the solutions.
Baba says, "If excessive waste of semen occurs due to the bad habit of
masturbation during adolescence or youth, or due to lack of restraint in
married life, the seminal fluid becomes thin and the symptoms of seminal
weakness appear. This is also a kind of sexual debility, and it is called
seminal infertility."
"A serious lack of sexual restraint will make the nerves of the pelvis and
genitals weak or damaged...This is called genital impotency."
"As I have already said, impotency and infertility, in most cases if not
all, are diseases of over-indulgence; so one should keep control over their
thoughts and actions. The male should stay away from feminine company as
long as the disease is not fully cured." (YT, p. 55-6)
Note 1: Those suffer from this should take it very, very seriously. And
others must understand so that they can help educate and serve the
suffering masses. I have seen so many people who do not know these
beautiful rules of Baba and they invite danger.
Note 2: Because of this the population growth is decreasing in various
countries.
