== CALL OF THE DAY ==
Namaskar,
Right now the whole globe is in a socio-economico-politico quandary.
Leadership is changing from one party to another, from one front to
another-- yet still there are no answers in sight for the common people.
So we must put forth our call of the day: The word and slogans of Prout.
Because-- as will be outlined below-- only Prout has the logical
response to solve the world's present ills. Only our call is the call of
the day. All other so-called alternatives are mere dogmas.
CAPITALISM RUNNING OUT OF GAS
Frustration is running high as the capitalistic tool of democracy is
failing time and again to bring relief to the people. Money is being
stuffed into the corporate vaults and the people have not what they
need. So they put in for a change of political leadership, but no good
results come.
This is the story in dozens and dozens of countries.
That is why this is the best time to put forth the name of Prout. None
should think that our Marga is marred in groupism and therefore we
should not wave the Prout flag. Rather it is our moral duty to aid the
society by giving the name and rational of Prout.
Capitalism is creeping to its ugly end-- and there is no alternative in
sight. Communism is dead and gone; Islam & Christianity are known
dogmas; and the newly revamped socialism of Chavez is nothing but a
freshly-painted communist platform. So literally people have nowhere to
turn to find relief.
That is why one party after another, one capitalist regime is rising to
power after another-- all because the people want change but they do not
know any other place to look than by changing from one capitalist leader
to the next. But ultimately this capitalism is running out of gas, both
literally and figuratively
JUST LIKE 1976 IN INDIA
It is just like in India in 1976 when Jayprakash Narayan swarmed to
power with his cry of Sampoorna Kranthi (total revolution). He ousted
the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. But ultimately he was all talk
and no action. And in a short time he was out of office and back on the
streets-- and all the youths who followed him were in a state of
desperation and angst. And the irony of all is that Mrs. Indira Gandhi
reclaimed the power.
The same dismal scene is taking the world by storm right now. One
misguided leader comes to power-- one after another-- with none of them
having the answer to the ills of capitalism. Rather they are the agents
of capitalism and in the guise or ushering in change, they are
protecting the status quo.
Indeed it is only Prout that has the answer.
DEFECTIVE WAYS OF OTHERS
Others give false claims to having the solution to capitalism but their
ways are totally unsatisfactory.
For example, the Muslims will say that just keep all the women locked
inside the house and make them wear a burka from head to toe. But who
can think this will be the answer to capitalism.
Then there is the Christian church that wants to give up scientific
thought in the face of creationism and adopt all the canons of the
church. This also is nothing but a misfiring.
Finally, Mr Chavez puts forth his daydream of socialism which is nothing
but communism going to a masquerade party.
So none of these things are going to work-- and beyond that there is
nothing. Yet all the while capitalism is on its last legs so something
will have to take its place.
BEST WAY TO PROPAGATE PROUT
So something needs to come forward and fill the gap; and that something
is Prout. And here is the logic we can use.
In this world there is abundant wealth-- there is plenty for all. And
the wealth & property of the world belong to all. Everyone is the son
and daughter of Parama Purusa, Cosmic Consciousness; all are part of the
whole. Nobody has the right to hoard. Creating disparities is not good.
Diversity, not disparity, is the law of nature. Amongst this diverse
human population, everyone belongs; all have their rightful place. Let
us grant access to the resources of the world to all, so that all may
not only survive but thrive. This type of basic idea is enough to give
people a taste of Prout.
And indeed this is a consistent theme in Baba's main treatises on
bringing forth a new socio-economico-politico order as outlined in
Problems of the Day, Discourses on Prout, & Talks on Prout.
Baba says, "Parama Purus'a [Supreme Consciousness] is my Father, Parama'
Prakrti [Supreme Operative Principle] is my Mother, and the universe is
my homeland. We are all citizens of this universe...everything is the
common patrimony of all, and the Father of all is Brahma. All living
beings can enjoy their rightful share of this property, like members of
a joint family...As members of a joint family, human beings should
safeguard this common property in a befitting manner and utilize it
properly. They should also make proper arrangements so that everyone can
enjoy it with equal rights, ensuring that all have the minimum
requirements of life to enable them to live in a healthy body with a
sound mind." (POD #1)
So we should echo Baba's wides in each and every hallway and meadow on
this earth. And side by side we should tell the people, what is needed
is economic democracy, not political democracy.
Baba says, "The days of political democracy are numbered. PROUT demands
economic democracy, not political democracy. To make democracy
successful, economic power must be vested in the hands of the common
people and the minimum requirements of life must be guaranteed to all.
This is the only way to ensure the economic liberation of the people.
PROUT’S slogan is: 'To end exploitation we demand economic democracy,
not political democracy'." (PNS-21)
This is our platform and by the above teachings and logic, we can
rationally convince the general populace that Prout is the way to go.
Until this is done, the miseries of this world shall remain.
COURAGE NEEDED
So in each and every station we must spread the word and teachings of
Prout. We should use pamphlets, blogs, books, discussion forums,
neighborly meetings, email, web-sites, town halls, cartoons, films,
skits, and so many other avenues that are out there.
All the while none should fall prey to the inferiority complex of
shyness etc. Then nothing can get done. 100 years ago those propagating
the teachings of yoga were not shy; and now look how popular yoga has
become. But if nobody had talked about it, yoga would have fallen by the
wayside.
Likewise, 100 years ago, women had almost no rights on this earth. They
could not vote or work or do anything in society. And if anyone said
they should, then it was just a big joke--nobody believe it. But now
there are women leaders all around the globe-- and more will come in
future. All because some had the courage to come forward with new ideas.
Similarly today, some may laugh when we say that this entire universe is
the property of Parama Purusa and that we have all come from Him etc.
People may think this is an outlandish idea. But in a few short decades
or even sooner, all will embrace this spiritual idea as it is the only
way to build a world-based human family. And the early pioneers of Prout
will be lauded up to eternity.
So courage and confidence are needed to put forth new ideas; so we
should ideate on Baba, let His strength charge our bones and mind, and
without a second to lose we should propagate the ideals of Prout. None
should be timid in this regard.
BABA'S BLESSING: 'FEE FY FO FUM'
By Baba's grace we should put forth our call to the people-- all our
brothers and sisters of this universe...
Morality is the demand of the day
'Prout' the cry of the suffering humanity.
Wise you be, may not or may,
If sincere, success a certainty.
Fee Fy Fo Fum.
Expel the demons from physical stratum.
Fee Fy Fo Fum.
Expel the exploiters from economic stratum.
Fee Fy Fo Fum
Expel the brutes from psychic stratum.
Fee Fy Fo Fum
Expel the parasites from spiritual stratum.
Human body is to serve one and all,
Human mind to attend Cosmic Call,
Human spirit at the alter Supreme,
Surrender and be Supreme.
Namaskar,
Mahendra
Note 1: HOW ALL HAVE GOTTEN DEGENERATED BY CAPITALISM
This materialism of capitalism is leading everyone into the dungeon of
hell-- all are getting degenerated. The exploiters give way to greed and
heartlessness and just indulge in their own vices as they squeeze the
life-force out of the masses. And on the opposite end of the spectrum,
the common people either resort to crime or focus exclusively on getting
the minimum requirements and have not time or energy to do anything else.
And on the top, suspicion and mistrust are at an all-time high as each
and every day brings forth new security measures to protect the divide
between the haves and the have-nots, rich and poor, and privileged and
suffering.

Look How Even the Deaf can Hear, by Dhyana
Baba says, "A deaf man sincerely wants to hear what the Sadguru is
saying, the positive microvita radiated through these two mudra's are sure to help him-- they will certainly help him." (Questions & Answers on Microvita, Answer #17)
