== WHO CAN'T GIVE UP FAKE MAHAPRAYAN ==
Namaskar,
Everyone in AM is aware about Baba's highly meaningful teaching from the
shloka, 'Durat sudure...'.
The basic idea is that those who think Baba is far push Him so far away
that the distance is too much to be measured; whereas those who feel
that Baba is close and inside their heart then He becomes so close that
there is no gap to measure. He is side by side with you. So this is one
important devotional teaching about how one should cultivate their
relation with Guru.
The tragedy is that those involved in following the Mahaprayan dogma
cannot understand the essence of Baba's above teaching. Because
Mahaprayan states that Baba is gone and if one thinks that Baba is gone
then it is impossible to bring Him close inside your heart. That is that
guideline and warning that Baba states in His shloka, 'Durat surdure...'.
But this teaching is totally lost on those who follow the Mahaprayan
dogma. Indeed, not only did they fail to get any practical realisation
of Baba's teaching; they also have no conceptual understanding of its
theoretical meaning either. The proof being that if they did understand
it theoretically, then in an instant they would stop observing fake
Mahaprayan, which states that Baba is far away and gone.
Of course there are many Ananda Margiis who understand Baba's devotional
guidelines and cultivate that closeness with Him and hold Him in their
heart.
THEY ARE BELOW THE REALM OF ANANDA MARGA
INSTEAD CLING TO RELIGIOUS DOGMA
Unfortunately those clinging to the dogmatic Mahaprayan program could
not reach up to the realm of AM teachings. They could not grasp Baba's
devotional guidelines. Instead, due to their significantly lower quality
of mind, they fell distinctly into the crude ways of the dogmatic
religions. It is well known how the followers of Judaism, Christianity,
Buddhism, and Hinduism etc, all go and mourn and cry at the tombs of
their chosen saints etc. Such dogmatic worshipers have no inner
realisation; for them their prayer & their deity is totally physical. So
they are attracted to cry and mourn at the tombs of their various
religious gods etc. That is what happens in the various dogmatic religions.
And those few in AM who still cling to the Mahaprayan dogma fall into
this exact same boat-- the crude net of religious dogma.
For them Baba was just something physical, so on the occasion of October
21 they just mourn the loss of His physical structure-- because for them
that is all Baba is. Tragically, even after being in AM for so many
years, they could not link up with a deeper relation with Baba in
sadhana and dhyana. Yet Baba has devoted countless pages in His
teachings to the importance of various bhavas for realising Him in
dhyana. Plus He has given the practical approach in His Supreme Command
by stating all must do sadhana twice daily regularly. All this leads to
the ideal that we are to realise Him within. That is the essence of our
spiritual approach.
Yet the adherents of the dogmatic Mahaprayan program completely missed
this entirely. Due to their lower mental status, they just became like
those blind followers of the dogmatic religions who sit and pray by the
tomb of their favoured saint-- morosely thinking that he is forever
gone. That is why those who cling to the Fake Mahaprayan program are
unable to give it up-- because when they could not get a glimpse of Baba
within. In which case they think that without His physical presence they
have no way to communicate with Him. That is the sad quality of those
lower type of people who get stuck in the rut of the Mahaprayan dogma;
and that is why they cannot give it up.
ANOTHER TYPE OF PERSON WHO CANNOT GIVE UP FAKE MAHAPRAYAN
There is also a second type of person who cannot give up the dogmatic
Mahaprayan program. Namely those who are B group leaders or those caught
in the net of B group are unable to give up Mahaprayan. Because if they
do it will be looked upon as a sign of revolt. So they are forced to not
only follow but propagandize about their Mahaprayan dogma, lest they be
accused and tried for insubordination. That is their fate. Tragically,
this squashes the tender bud of devotion that lies in their heart. So
their blind allegiance to their crude group suppresses their natural
devotional inclinations-- leading to the near death of their spiritual
life. So this type of groupist pressure to adhere to the Fake Mahaprayan
program is not at all good. Rather it is quite harmful. But due to that
pressure, various B group advocates are unable to give up the Mahaprayan
dogma.
MOST MARGIIS HOLD BABA CLOSE INSIDE
Then of course there are the vast majority of margiis around the globe
who feel Baba in their depths of their heart and they have the intuitive
feeling that Mahaprayan is not at all good. That is why most have
totally rejected the Mahaprayan program and understand that it is just
one dogmatic thing started by a few groupists. Compared to 15 years ago,
almost no one is so blind as to follow Mahaprayan. For this reason, most
units have basically dropped it entirely. Just a few dinosaur types
cling onto to it for reasons best known to them. Whereas the wide scope
of margiis celebrate Baba's divine presence each and every day through
kiirtan, dhyana, 2nd lesson, Guru Puja, Guru Sakash, Prabhat Samgiita
etc. In that case what is the logic or reason for suddenly following
fake Mahaprayan and stating that Baba is gone. Obviously it makes no
sense; that is why it is a dogma. And those who can recognise this dogma
are those who feel Baba in their heart. That is why the mass of Ananda
Margiis have totally rejected that Mahaprayan gathering as one dogmatic
function-- nothing more.
Finally there is a small sub-set of people who have rejected Mahaprayan
for their own selfish, groupist reasons. Those hardcore followers of the
Rudrananda-Niagamananda faction fall in this category. By their actions
it is clear that they do not feel Baba in their heart otherwise they
would fix the scriptural distortions done to AM Revolution, toss aside
the Fake BP Manual, and stop creating more Fake Ananda Vaniis etc. IN
sum, they would follow AM ideology in all realms of life; but this they
are unwilling to do. The only reason then that they oppose Mahaprayan is
because they have their own groupist agenda of trying to wipe out B
group. And for that reason they oppose MPD.
Whereas the mass of Margiis feel Baba's sweet presence in their heart
and that is why it is completely natural for them to kick aside the
dogma of Mahaprayan which wrongly states that Baba is gone.
MUST OPPOSE DOGMAS LIKE FAKE MAHAPRAYAN
Here below Baba clearly guides us that as Ananda Margiis, as dharmikas,
we are to oppose crude, dogmatic programs like the Mahaprayan ritual etc.
Baba says, "I have already said that Ananda Marga is the first movement
aimed at liberating spirituality from the unwholesome influences of
dogma. Hence you must not in any way encourage dogma. Rather, you should
carry on an endless fight against dogma. And while fighting against
dogma, you will realise the actual truth, and when you will come in
contact with truth, you will be established in real spirituality." (PNS
Part 18, p.14)
Thus when the crude propaganda of Mahaprayan is that 'Baba is gone', and
when AM spiritual states that Baba is always with us, then it is quite
clear that our duty is to oppose and eradicate this Mahaprayan dogma--
and that is exactly what is happening in our AM. Now just a few
groupists cling to it in their closets and the mass of margiis walk in
the fresh air and enjoy Baba's sweet eternal presence.
BABA'S BLESSING
By Baba's divine grace He is with us every step of the way-- always in
our heart and mind. In that case where is the scope to observe the Fake
Mahaprayan which states that Baba is gone. Rather, He is always with us.
Baba says, "Vrnda'vanam parityajya pa'damekam na gaccha'mi..." (PS 4425)
"I am always eternally present in Vrindavan, in the hearts of devotees.
That is the Guru cakra. I do not go even a little away from that. I am
eternally present along with the devotees."
Namaskar,
Jawaharlal
Note 1: HERE IS WHAT FAKE MAHAPRAYAN DOES
The Fake Mahaprayan program states that Baba is far away and gone. So by
following such a dogmatic program, one will ruin their spiritual life.
That is what Baba is warning us about in His below guideline.
Baba says, "If someone continually thinks, "Parama Purus'a is far from
me", then He will seem to be truly far from him. If in their ignorance
people think that Parama Purus'a is far from them, then He may indeed
remain far from them - so far that in future, even if one cries oneself
hoarse, one's cries will never reach Him." (Subhasita Samgraha part 12,
'The Secret of Dharma Lies Hidden in the Mind')
Thus those who observe Mahaprayan and do tomb worship etc, they can
never come close to Parama Purusa. That is the veritable fact.
Note 2: REAL FESTIVAL OF AM: VIJAYA OTSAVA
Those who have devotion towards Guru will follow Him; they will do what
He says. And when our AM festival of Victory Day, Vijaya Otsava, falls
on the exact same day as Fake Mahaprayan, then one has to choose to
either follow Guru or some obsolete groupists. Either one has to follow
the dharma of AM or the dogma of one group. True bhaktas will surely
follow Baba and His eternal dharma. And indeed, this issue will come up
year after year as Vijaya Otsava and the Fake Mahaprayan program are
going to coincide again and again. And those who follow the real
teachings of AM will celebrate Vijaya Otsava whereas those who blindly
cling to the skeletons of dogma will solemnly observe their crude
Mahaprayan dogma. Obviously, best is to follow Guru and His shining
ideals and that is what most in AM are doing. Parama Pita Baba Ki-- Jai!!

NEWLY AWAKENED HUMANITY
Baba says, "The newly awakened humanity of today is anxious to herald
the advent of one universal society under the vast blue sky. The noble
and righteous persons of all countries, bound by fraternal ties, are
eager to assert in one voice, with one mind, and in the same tune that
human society is one and indivisible." (PNS-7, p.9)
