== LEADERSHIP ISSUES IN AMPS: SHARED IN A RATIONAL WAY ==
Namaskar,
In the wake of PP Dada's Mahaprayan (death), there is much talk about
how our organisation is to proceed. Whatever may be, we must never lose
sight of the fact that our AMPS structure is built on the pillars of
coordinated cooperation between family margiis and wholetimers. It is
not the margiis are to be forced to take a back-seat role. The
running of AMPS is to be shared in a rational way. That is Baba's
guideline & the below story helps remind us of this.
This is the great boon that Baba has given the BP system whereby family
persons have gotten the opportunity to work side by side in coordinated
fashion. Indeed if this would have been done all along since 1990 then we
would not be facing the situation which we find ourselves in today-group
clash.
Because prior to 1990 it was working but it got diluted thereafter. And the
various groupists are the main cause as they altered all the rules and in
that way the BP system got totally corrupted. Only puppets got the place
and by that way those groupist rulers did to their own liking. Thus with no
control on those various WT groups, it became a power hungry group clash
and the whole scene became total suffocation.
So now we are facing those things. One side because margiis were not given
the opportunity to work in coordinated cooperation. And also because those
exploiters would pushing hard to create subordinated cooperation. So that
is the result and a serious catastrophe has resulted.
The answer of course is that if Baba's monumental BP system were properly
followed then this problem will be solved. Baba is Almighty and when He has
given the system it is our dharmic duty to implement those things for the
universal well-being.
HOW HE GRACIOUSLY STARTED THE BP SYSTEM
After coming out of jail in 1978, our Baba the Sadguru started giving more
& more new programs-- including the system of Bhukti Pradhan (BP). And the
introduction of the BP system, was a revolutionary step for AM society
because in this system Baba has given equal tights to Margiis & WTs to run
the organization with coordinated cooperation.
Until now, in human history, not a single so-called guru could dare to give
equal rights to their family & sannyasi disciples. But Baba has graced us
by bestowing these rights because our Beloved Baba is Tarak Brahma. Yet, in
this situation, some groupist Dadas like Sarvatmanandaji, were internally
upset because they could not digest this idea of sharing the leadership of
the organisation with Family Margiis.
Being all-knowing, the Taraka Brahma Baba was aware about everything that
is going to happen in the future. And HE was also aware how our certain
power-hungry Dadas would curtail all the Margiis rights in future. Because
of that to solve, this problem BABA lovingly played HIS Divine Liila.
BABA'S GENERAL DARSHAN
At that very time, in one simple general Darshan, Baba first started
talking about the Bhukti Pradhan system. During General Darshan, Baba told
that Margiis will feel more responsible with this newly introduced BP
system and that it will be more beneficial for different social service
projects of AMPS. Because when WTs get transferred & new WTs are posted
there, then the general public is not familiar about the newly posted WT.
And in consequence the project suffers a lot-- because of lack of
cooperation from non-Margiis. Other religious organizations rarely transfer
their monks & that is why they have public support. But this brings about
the degeneration of those monks. So in our system, transfer postings cannot
be stopped as this protects the WT's existence.
BP SYSTEM IS ONE SPECIAL BOON FOR ORGANISATIONAL GROWTH
With the newly given BP system if local Margiis take responsibility of
running service projects, then our organization will grow very fast.
Thus with the introduction and implementation of the BP system, the
opportunity is there for both family persons & Acaryas to work side by side
in coordinated cooperation to establish the ideology.
BP'S & SELF CLEANING SYSTEM OF AMPS
Further Baba says because of this unique system of self-cleaning, our
organization (AMPS) will grow in leaps & bounds because if anyone is going
against 16 Pts or ideology, they will be rectified at the earliest. In this
way there will be proper control of WTs by Margiis & due control of Margiis
by WTs. So the conduct of both will be ever-clean & the organization will
go on serving the society-- on and on.
COORDINATED COOPERATION BETWEEN WTS AND MARGIIS
At the darshan, after that, Baba, in a loving & smiling way, addressed all
the Acaryas who were sitting there & Baba said, "You workers (WTs), will
you allow Margiis to work side by side with you in coordinated cooperation?"
All the WT Dadas responded collectively & said, "Yes, Baba." But in certain
cases, some Central Dadas were just mechanically accepting what Baba was
telling because in their heart of hearts they were not pleased to give any
rights to family Margiis.
After that, Baba again in a smiling way asked all the Margiis who were
present there in G.D., "Will you, (Margiis), be able to work side by side
with WT Dadas?"
Then all the Margiis responded with joy, "Yes, Baba."
VARABHAYA MUDRA
Then our Beloved Baba was in a very blissful mood & HE said, "MY sons & MY
daughters are MY two hands & have equal rights. The role of family persons
is from bottom to top & I, (Baba), have made such a system that family
persons are on the Purodha Board also."
After this General Darshan, Baba asked Margiis to sing bhajans. Then Baba
graciously blessed all present with His Varabhaya Mudra. In this way the
General Darshan blissfully concluded & Baba majestically moved towards His
Marga Guru (MG) Quarters.
SOME REFLECTION
Today, PP has passed and many have their eye on ruling AMPS...
...in the present day situation when our organisation is facing serious
crisis. And different factions of Avadhuta groups are trying to balkanise
AMPS. In this crucial time it is the demand of the day that the unique
system which Baba has given-- that margiis and WTs should work side by side
in the Administration-- this should be implemented. Because devoid of this
all these problems are not only coming but they cannot be solved.
This is the time when we have to think again why Baba has given the unique
system that family margiis and WTs are to jointly run the organisation with
coordinated cooperation.
Unfortunately due to extreme lust of power and terrible group clash, after
1990 Baba's system could not get implemented in the real sense. And in the
absence of this, the present day catastrophe has come. But if this system
of Bhukti Pradhan rights had not been curtailed and the system was
functioning properly then surely the present day negative scenario would
not have arrived.
Waiting to hear others' thoughts & opinions.
Here following is Baba's special blessing:
Baba says, "Advance as a vanguard leading the way for others to follow.
This is the true spirit of life, and this is the path upon which your glory
will be established." (AV-8, p. 99)
Respectfully yours,
Jawaharlal

Honey is Eye-Medicine
Baba says, "Floral nectar can be collected from lotus and is very good for
all kinds of eye diseases, including retinal detachment...To extract the
honey, you have to employ the same method as doctors use to extract blood.
This is because many ants and insects feed on the honey. A syringe can
extract it without getting clogged up." (PNS-16, p. 33-34)
