== GT SECTOR NEWS ==
Namaskar,
We all want the well-being of our Marga. We all want to see AMPS
restored to its proper place - in all of the sectors. To this end we
must take shelter in Baba's special guideline.
Baba says, "Your ideal is represented by your conduct. Your learning,
your social or economic status have nothing to do with your ideal."
(A'nanda Va'nii, #13)
According to Baba, when our conduct reflects AM ideology, then we will
again be on the right path. Seniority, the color of one's robes, high
sounding speeches, and the like have nothing to do with the
establishment of our AM teachings nor the with all round health and
sanctity of our Marga society. Only by following His teachings - by our
conduct - can things come back into proper form.
THE GT SECTOR SITUATION
Here is a look at the state of affairs in Georgetown Sector (i.e. South
America). This sector is well-known for its many dedicated Ananda
Margiis, glorious master units, spirited kiirtans, and much, much more.
So it is a real tragedy to relay the following events.
This report includes suggestions for how to prevent such issues in the
future as well as how to solve these current problems.
For instance, by making relevant WT conduct rules known to one and all,
Dadas will have less scope to violate those rules. Because margiis will
be watching carefully and will report wrongdoing.
Secondly, if any Dada does contravene a code of conduct, then margiis in
that locale must no longer recognise him as an acarya - only when his
conduct is fully rectified can he again be recognised.
These types of circumstantial pressure can help prevent and resolve
issues - as needed. Of course, best is if all workers attend to their
sadhana properly, then their minds (as actions) will not drift in lowly
directions.
Everyone is welcome to write in with further information and thoughts
about the below events.
A FEW WT CONDUCT RULES GIVEN BY BABA
Before proceeding, let us remind ourselves of these following conduct
rules which apply to all Wts:
"One should not look at the face of the opposite sex except at the time
of nursing." ('37 Workers Rules', Point #15)
"A'vadhuta shall treat every woman of the world, including his ex-wife,
as mother." ('32 Rules for Avadhuta, Point #11)
"A'vadhuta must not remain in lonely place with any female." ('32 Rules
for Avadhuta, Point #13)
"A'vadhuta should not initiate any female." ('32 Rules for Avadhuta,
Point #14)
"During illness, remaining with a female nurse of the hospital in a room
should be considered as wrongful. Either he should be with a male nurse
or in the case of a female nurse, a third person should be present."
('32 Rules for Avadhuta, Point #14)
By all of the above, it is quite clear that Baba has given very precise
and exact guidelines related with how Wts are to conduct themselves. In
particular, Baba is very, very strict how Dadas are to behave toward
females.
The more we as margiis are aware about the aforesaid conduct rules, the
more we can be sure there codes are not violated by Dadas etc. And if a
Dada does violate a rule, margiis in that area must no longer recognise
him as an acarya.
Now look at what is going on in GT Sector. A few Dadas are breaking so
many conduct rules and in result they are falling shamelessly into
innumerable sex scandals and disintegrating our Marga society. What
makes matters worse is that top Dadas are covering up those misdeeds and
allowing those sexual violations to be repeated again and again. All
because those top Dadas receive some type of payment. That is the sad
situation.
To understand the extent of the problem and to apply the necessary
circumstantial pressure on the wrongdoers, here following is the
detailed report for your review.
HOW DADAS ARE RULING THE ROOST
1) Unfortunately, our Didis are suffering a lot in GT sector due to
Dada's misbehaviour and misconduct. Dadas are doing whatever they like
and pushing Didis aside.
2) Dadas are taking margiis sisters into their control for their own
selfish ends. To start, they are giving initiations, Samskrt names, LFT
training, and "ideological" training to all sisters. They are even
giving SPT training to margii sisters, which is allowed to only Acharyas
or LFT.
2a) After "training" these sisters, such Dadas take written agreements
from sisters to work with them. This agreement or contract is for two or
three years. Innocent margii sisters are compelled by Dadas to sign such
contractual agreements. In this way, so many females are living in Dadas
projects and "working" along with Dadas. In addition, no Didi is allowed
to work with those sisters as they are "Dada's LFT."
3) For this reason, the Didis have little support. Without help of LFTs,
their projects are suffering terribly and falling into disarray. To
counteract this, various Didis tried to talk to Dadas so that those
Dadas would not use sisters as their LFTs. But Dadas were not ready to
listen and instead they start threatening Didi's and even kicking those
Didis out of the sector.
3a) In response, some Didis organised a LFT training for margii sisters.
But certain Dadas called a meeting with sisters and brainwashed them
against the Didis. Under the guidance of SS GT, Dada Siddeshananda, a
National Committee meeting was called against SWWS, Didi Ananda
Hitaesana. Didiji was called suddenly and they all verbally accosted her
and threatened her to stop giving Lft training.
SWWS Didi tried to make them understand that she is doing this only
because this is her moral duty to do the work of WWD. As we all know,
Baba has given this department specifically for women. And Didiji
explained the WT and acarya rules given by Guru, i.e. that Dadas are not
to work closely with sisters.
But it was too late. Already Dadas had brainwashed so many innocent
margii sisters and already forced them to sign contracts to work with
them. The Dadas used their money and charisma to lure those unsuspecting
sisters and by this way, a few margii sisters started saying, "I love
Dada Agraboddhananda, I love Dada Ramashreyananda, I want to do training
with them."
Now see where all this is going.
ALL SANCTIONED BY SS DADA
4) Most of the Dadas involved in the above have been working in GT
sector for 20 or 22 years. All the above is being done under the
guidance & blessing of SS GT, Dada Siddeshananda. Dadaji has been in
this sector for 19 years and he is is allowing all Dadas to do these
unideological misdeeds
THE UNFORTUNATE DETAILS - LOTS OF SEX SCANDALS
5) We can prevent the below scandals by paying heed to Baba's conduct
rules and forcing Dadas to follow them.
5a) A Dada in Columbia - Dada Divyapremananda - has been involved in
physical (i.e. sexual) relations with many margii and non-margii
sisters. And he threatens and verbally assaults any Didi or margii who
tries to point out his actions.
It got so bad that at one point it was even reported about on the TV
news. This was an absolute disgrace for our Marga. How did this happen?
All those sisters came to know about one another and their relation with
Dada Divyapremananda. They then got reacted with Dada and disclosed
everything to the news media etc.
Even then, in his tyrant ways, Dada Divyapremananda has illegally taken
over the jagrti in Barranquilla and started a lawsuit against local
margiis. Dadaji is seeking punitive damages for so-called defamation,
when in truth he was grossly involved in all those sexual crimes.
This Dada has gone so far as to impose rules not allowing any other Dada
to come to his area, for fear that such a Dada will preach the code of
dharma and oust him. Dada Divyapremananda only allows his close allies
like Japamantrananda / Ganadevananda to move in Colombia. But these two
Dadas are no saints either.
5b) Dada Japamantrananda had physical relations with many sisters in
Columbia. But because he is a spoon / disciple of SS GT Dada
Siddhesananda, he got a new posting in Malta, which is a good place
without even having to go for retraining. GT SS put Japamantrananda's
lokik brother - Dada Ganadevananda - in his posting. Japamantrananda
insisted on this because by this way Ganadevananda can cover up for his
misdeeds. And that is what is happening. Gandevananda is not allowing
the truth to come out. He is ruling the roost in Bogata with an iron fist.
5c) At the Cordoba MU, one Filipino Dada - i.e. Dada Anghananda - had
relation with so many girls.
5d) SES Dada Ramashrayananda was caught trying to have relations with a
teenage sister and still he is giving diiksha to sisters. Specifically
he had a relation with one 19 Year old girl from Oran Argentina and in
the name of training he gives "personal counseling" to sisters. He
revises their lessons and explains to them how to have physical
relations with their husband. Plus he talks about their menstrual
problems. Everyone knows about this but nobody says anything because he
is a disciple of Dadas Rudranandaji and Nigmanandaji.
5e) Dada Agrabodhananda, well known to every one NY sector and GT, is
infamous for having much lust for sisters. Even sisters get jealous and
mistreat each other.
Dada Agrabodhananda has started new Universal mantra in the place of
BABA NAM KEVALAM which is OM NAMO SHIVAYA. He teaches everyone this
mantra, not BABA NAM KEVALAM. He makes every one repeat this mantra
1000 time everyday. He has created a large following of women who are
doing this and to him like a God. There is no repcurcussion from the
organisational leadership against this. Such Wts are coming to retreats
with no restrictions. SS Dada Siddheshananda is doing business with them
getting money from them. Such is the incestuous nature of the problem.
5f) Then there is Dada Jitendria who is having close relations with one
sister in Buenos Aries. Even old margiis are afraid that at any time
this Dada will leave the organization. They talk to others but they do
not dare to talk to Dada. This sister stays alone Dadaji every night.
5g) Dada Pranakrshananda - originally from the Phillippines - is always
falling down with sisters. Ranchi administration knows about his awful
character and lowly ways, but they still made him avadhuta because he
blindly follows GT SS.
5h) Dada Chittavodhananda is sitting in an MU and calling sisters alone
giving them lessons. Even if a Didi has taught meditation to a sister,
still Dadaji calls them and changes their mantra and everything. He
tells them that he is the Acharya. Sisters go to him even during the
night time but nobody says any thing.
5i) Regarding Dada Tapeshvarananda, good sisters do not dare go to him
because anytime he can loose himself.
5j) Various Dadas from Kolkata are involved in the similar lowly
dealings regarding following conduct rules. There is no of sector like
GT. And GT SS Dada Siddheshananda from Ranchi side is directing all
dadas on this wrong path. And Dada Tapeshvarananda from Kolkata side is
doing the same.
5k) The basic scene is that so many Dadas in the sector keep violating
their conduct rules but nobody can do anything because such are
supporting GT SS. And SS is protecting those Dadas from their misdeeds.
DIDI TRIED TO CORRECT THE SITUATION
DADAS BULLDOZE HER
6) SWWS Didi Ananda Hitesana tried to address the matter. After SWWS
explained this (sister initiations, sister Lfts, sexual impropriety
etc), GT SS denied everything. Rather he threatened SWWS that she will
not be able to work in this sector.
6a) Dada Ramashrayananda told her that she will not able able survive in
this sector if she does not work the way we want her to work. He also
threatened Didi Tapasuddha that if she tries to convince didis to go
against him, then he will get her visa revoked and she will not be able
to become permanent resident in Argentina.
6c) After all this, GT SS Dada Siddheshananda went to India and levied
false complaints about SSWS GT, and by that way he got her transferred
out of GT sector.
6d) Central Dadas did not even ask Central Didis for transfer nor did
they ask anything from SWWS GT. They just transferred her. SS GT has
been working in GT sector for 19 year. This SWWS was working in GT for
only two years. Her mistake was only that she was very sincere and tried
to work hard for her department. She has done tremendous work in GT
sector withing two years. Certain Indian Dadas did not like this kind of
Indian Didi. They are used to having a Didi who will act as their slave.
Her mistake was not mingling with Dadas and not satisfying their desire.
6e) Now they are telling every one that you see whoever goes against
them will have undergo the same consequences as SWWS GT. She was
supporting all didis and in turn she got kicked out of the sector. Now
Didis are powerless. They cannot do anything. This is the naked dance
going on in GT sector. But there is nobody to check the situation.
Central workers from Ranchi from Kolkata get money from such Dadas and
so they keep their mouth and eyes closed.
Tragically, this is just a short portrayal of the awful events going on
in GT Sector.
WHY ALL THIS IS GOING ON
One can seen a myriad of worldly reasons why all this is going on, but
Baba has pointed out the very root cause.
Baba says, "Tendencies are of either a degenerating or an exalting
nature, that is, they are either of a depraving or an elevating nature.
We should encourage the elevating tendencies and discourage the
depraving ones." (PNS-12)
The sad fact is that the degrading tendencies of mind have taken root in
such Dadas. They do negative misdeeds and that just hastens the downward
spiral of mind.
Yet Baba warns about this again and again. That is why He has given us
so many elevating practices to keep the mind in a positive flow. Without
that the mind will degrade and degrade.
The only way out is external pressure. Huge circumstantial pressure must
be mounted against such Dadas engaged in wrongful and sinful dealings.
They must not be recognised as acaryas. Local margiis must be strict on
this point and force those Dadas into feeling a sense of shame. That is
the potency of the practice of silent action.
Plus more and more pressure must be mounted on the supervisors of these
Dadas.
Ultimately there are two ways to keep the mind up: Internal inspiration
and external pressure. Those proper sadhakas will feel inspiration
inside from Baba to follow the path of dharma. This is the best way. But
when Dadas do not do sadhana and do not feel that type of internal
inspiration - when they no longer feel that Baba is watching them - then
they are liable to do anything. And when external pressure is lacking,
then their crude desires will run wild. That is the situation now in GT
sector with certain Dadas.
So the first step is to apply massive external pressure on such Dadas:
Do not recognise them as acaryas, hold them accountable to Baba's
conduct rules for workers, and force them into a period of shame. Then
and only then can such Dadas be rectified and the situation cleaned up.
All in all this is a sad and difficult situation. But only by standing
tall and paying heed to Baba's guidelines can we begin to correct the
problem, only then will the bleeding stop.
BABA'S BLESSING
By Baba's grace we must hold everyone in our AM society - including
Dadas - accountable for following all respective codes of conduct. Only
then can our Marga come onto the proper path - only then will the
nonsense going on, like the mess in GT sector, come to a halt.
Baba says, "All Ananda Margis, when they see other Margis acting against
the principles of yama and niyama, must make them shun this habit either
by sweet or harsh words or by dealing even more strictly. Thus they will
have to make the society strong." (GHC)
Namaskar,
Cinmay
***************************************
Confusion about Microvita
Baba says, "Microvita are the initial stage of matter. Although they are
matter they are very, very subtle. All of a sudden microvita are
transmuted into matter and matter is transmuted into microvita. For
investigating the initial stage of matter, research is not possible in
physical laboratories, but it is possible in the human mind and human
soul. Microvitum is closer to the realm of ideas than matter...While
atomic research can be done in physical laboratories, microvita research
can only be done in the human mind and soul." (MVNS, 'Q & A on
Microvita', #19)
Note: In His above teaching Baba is giving the hint that intense sadhana
should first be done and then one can realise & understand the practical
aspects and theoretical concepts of microvita. The key point being that
microvita are very subtle in nature and are "closer to the realm of
ideas than matter".
Nowadays, however, certain dry intellectuals are giving misguiding
lectures on microvita and confusing margiis. Such dry jinanis are
telling that microvita should first be discovered and researched on the
physical plane-- with our crude eyes etc. The main source of controversy
stems from the fact that these jinanis themselves aren't clear about
microvita, therefore they are making others confused.
Once again then, we should hold firm to Baba's above reference that only
by doing maximum sadhana can one gain a proper understanding of
microvita.
