== COMPARING FIREFLY WITH THE SUN ==
This letter is a must-read on this important topic:
Namaskar,
Every Ananda Margii knows in their heart that Baba's divine treasure of
Prabhat Samgiita is one special, unique, unparalleled creation. Even then
one person has taken it upon themselves to make one comparison-- foolishly
attempting to cast it under someone else's lesser shadow.
Nowadays one margii singer is selfishly proclaiming that Prabhat Samgiita
should follow in the footsteps of Rabindranath Tagore as if this would
bring Prabhat Samgiita to its glory. When in fact it is commonly known that
Ravindra Samgiita has its own inherent loopholes and furthermore that
Ravindra Samgiita has gotten horribly degenerated due to numerous defects
in presentation and lack of foresight.
Even then one supposed singer is advocating that a comparison be done--
most likely due to her own negative agenda. And that too will be discussed.
Here following though are some of the facts and figures behind the
defective comparison between Prabhat Samgiita and Ravindra Samgiita.
FAULTY COMPARISON OF PRABHAT SAMGIITA WITH ...
Baba's holy collection of Prabhat Samgiita are completely unique and beyond
comparison-- in all the ways.
For example, when Baba was writing any song then first He used to compose
the raga, or special tune. Because when making a new song Baba would always
begin by humming the new melody line. Means creating the enchanting tune
was the first step. And in next phase Baba would write the words or poetry
to fit the style of the raga (tune).
So Baba's approach of composing the raga first is completely unique--
nobody else does like that.
In comparison Rabindranath's attempt is much less. Means he did not give
any melody. Means no tune, melody, or raga was given at all. Just he
composed the poem and then later on all sorts of filmy singer singers were
allowed to perform Ravindra's songs according to their own choice and
style. And in that way such C grade musicians and the corrupt film industry
dragged his collection through the mud.
In contrast Baba is not only Composer -- He has done everything. First He
has created the tune, and then the words. And then He has designed it in
such a way that it will always remain blemishless and pure.
BABA'S SHINING FORMULA-- PREVENT NEGATIVITY
In perfect fashion Baba has given the dharmic guidelines whereby Prabhat
Samgiita will remain in its pristine state.
1. Baba has insisted that the singing style of His Prabhat Samgiita be
fixed. Means it is not up to some cheap singer's low-grade interpretation
how it should be sung. Already Baba has given the straight guidelines about
this.
2. Baba has given the rule not to play His songs to the non-margii
public. By that way non-sadhakas will not get opportunity to manipulate
Prabhat Samgiita.
3. In accordance with point #2, Baba has made the strong dharmic rule
that not to play His divine Prabhat Samgiita on the radio or in those crude
films.
4. Baba has told not to sell it in pseudo-culture markets.
So these are some of the examples how Baba has done perfectly.
Whereas Rabindranath is operating from a deficit or is a no-show on all the
above points.
Even then that is not all. Here below is another point for our list.
ONE OTHER SPECIAL WARNING
5. Baba firmly told on the public platform during DMC that no poetic
translations should ever be done of Prabhat Samgiita into other languages.
Never do like this.
So this is yet one more golden rule by which to preserve the sanctity of
Prabhat Samgiita.
Whereas Ravindra Samgiita is not like this because he never made rule not
to make poetic translations or sing the songs in a translated way.
Rabindranath never warned about this. So like this and in so many other
points Ravindra Samgiita falls far short of the mark.
Even then one female singer is scratching on our door again & again--
whining that this type of negative poetic translation should be done. When
we all know that Baba Himself never condones this. And He harshly rebuked
and scolded anyone if did like this, such as when HE pointed out
Cidghananandji for doing this and then after nobody did--..... until now.
GOING AGAINST BABA MEANS INVITING OWN RUINATION
If Guru is furious then nobody can save. Baba has warned us that no poetic
translation should be done and sung. Even then by taking the name of
Ravindra Samgiita one so-called devotional singer is doing this with
Prabhat Samgiita. She is going against Guru-- outrightly.
MUST FOLLOW BABA'S DEVOTIONAL GUIDELINES
Our duty is to follow Baba's guideline in all the sphere but especially in
the devotional field. Because if in devotional field one does not follow
Baba, and they instead go against, then what will be the fate.
'Guru Krpa Hi kevalam'= Without the grace of Guru nothing is possible.
So we must please Baba what way He wants; that is our only duty.
CLOSING
We are not to not the follow negative ways of Ravindra Samgiita / Tagore.
Rather as Ananda Margiis we are to follow Baba ways and directives. He is
the Taraka Brahma and it is our moral duty to follow His command.
Even then one singer could not manage to follow.
BABA'S BLESSING
Baba says, "So ours is the age of Neohumanism-- humanism supplying elixir
to all, one and all. We are for all, and with everything existent we are to
build up a new society, a Neohumanistic society...so many epoch-making
events, so many annals of history, are to be created by you boys and you
girls." (NHNS-1, '99, p. 73-4)
Namaskar,
Liila
This letter is a must-read on this important topic:
Note 1: Prabhat Samgiita is unique and stands Baba's special creation, but
Jyotsna (originally of New Zealand) is negatively telling that it should be
done in the footsteps of Ravindra Samgiita.
Because on the back of her "Reddish Blossom" CD, where she is
wrongly doing Prabhat Samgiita in this very same manner, Jyotsna wrote:
"Just as the poems of the Nobel Prize Winner, Rabindranath Tagore from
India, were brought to an English speaking audience..."
So clearly then she wrote this negative advice because she herself wanted
to do like this. I.e, go against Baba's guidelines when necessary. And in
fact on this very CD, she went against Baba and made her own poetic
translation of Prabhat Samgiita into English. And she sung them. And she
is negatively propagating that more be done like this by giving the false justification
of Rabindranath. When Baba Himself is adamantly against such things. So
this is one very black act.
Note 2: Inside and out the whole intention behind this affair is rotten
from the inner core. Because Jyotsna has one negative desire in the mind to
follow her own adharmic and despicable program of ruining Prabhat Samgiita
by translating them into English and singing them to fill her pockets and
get praise and other selfish reasons. So in that course, to justify this
narrow misguided thing she created her own negative theory and analysis.
Namely that we should do like Rabindranath and follow that as if this is
the way. When she herself knows it is wrong. So all sorts of ad hoc nonsense
and cock and bull theories she devised and convinced herself of in order to
justify her anti-Guru activities. And now she started printing that same
nonsense on the back of her CD in order to convince & befool simple margiis
and the ignorant public. And now these CD's are flying all around the globe
spreading her dogmatic and unholy act to translate Prabhat Samgiita into
other languages and sing them in her crude movie-style way. Means her
fauly way is dragging down the sancity of Baba's Prabhat Samgiita. But
no matter what her black strategy may be-- no Ananda Margii will appreciate this nor
allow it to continue. Never, because Margiis always support the Baba.
Note 3: HERE ARE OTHER EXAMPLES OF BABA'S WARNINGS
Beforehand Baba has always warned us about negative activities. So just as
Baba has warned us not to make negative poetic translations of HIS Prabhat
Samgiita. In the same way Baba has warned us ahead of time about these
other dogmatic and hurtful things:
- No idol worship
- No importance to tiirtha or to birthplace of Krsna and Shiva
(i.e. do not tie up Parama Purusa)
- So many do's and don'ts
- So he warned before hand not to do negative things
But those giving more importance to the post and money, such persons threw
away Baba's teachings. They went against due to selfishness etc.
Note 4: INTIMACY OF PRABHAT SAMGIITA
For the first time in history Baba has described devotional things with
very intimate relations with Parama Purusa. So that needs proper
introduction and explanation otherwise (new) people will take it in the
wrong way. It should not get displayed in crude way. All purports distinctly
telling that given for God-hood not any other way-for mundane crude
attraction. But J did not like that so she violated the code and she took
those songs and put them in other way. Not one word about Parama Purusa, or
God, or divine Entity, or Brahma or Supreme Consciousness. Nothing. Then
what are non-sadhakas going to think when they hear those songs-- they will
think of their crude relation etc. So see what terrible confusion sister J
is inviting by her selfish ways.
Intention itself is bad, just like Christians and Islam have many crude
things, then we should also, but this is all nonsense. But J thinks like
that and in other depraving ways also.
Note 6: Ravindra Samgiita is Ravindra Samgiita-- it is just some thing
created by one human being; but Prabhat Samgiita is something Divine, given
by the Parama Purusa Himself. Thus the first is laced with defects and got
more degenerated over time. Whereas the latter is Perfect and protected in
such a way as to never lose its Supreme status. Hence these two entities--
Ravindra Samgiita and Prabhat Samgiita-- cannot be compared. Or at least
only a borderline so-so or someone with hardly any devotion would do that.

What is Our Mission
Baba says, "Human life is a mission; life itself is a mission; one's very
existence is a mission. A'tmamoks'a'rtham' jagaddhita'ya ca: 'Whatever one
is to do, one is to do for a'tmamoks'a-- for their own liberation-- and for
the elevation of the entire world, elevation of the entire human society'.
One is to do both of these things; that is, these two things are one's
mission." (AV-30, p. 28)
