== SOCIAL POST: PP ==
Namaskar,
As we seem to be on the cusp in getting a new PP in one way, shape, or
form, i.e. eventually - it is only fitting that we pay heed to Baba's
guidelines below about the nature and scope of this important spcial post.
REQUIREMENT FOR BEING PP THESE DAYS
Of course many are thinking that already certain leaders have selected the
new PP and just they are waiting until the appropriate moment to place him
in the post. Whatever the case-- whether he has already been hand-picked or
not-- one thing is certain. Namely that the main criteria for becoming the
next PP is that he must be a totally brainless person. This is the
mandatory feature.
So if anyone wants to compete and try to get that Purodha Pramukha post --
then they must possess that singular quality of brainlessness. It is a
pre-requisite. Otherwise one cannot become PP.
And not just with the post of PP, in fact this quality of brainlessness is
the requiste factor for getting any of the top organisational posts these
days. If one has that characteristic then they may get one of those
positions. But if one does not have that necessary characteristic they
certainly will never get such a post.
But surely in the case of the PP-- sheer brainlessness is the special
requirement.
SOME SOCIAL DUTIES OF PP
In our Caryacarya, Baba has given various provisions about the social post
of Purodha Pramukha. By the following guidelines it is quite clear that the
post of PP is just one of the many social posts in the organization. For
example, here are some of the worldly affairs which PP is supposed to deal
with.
(A) All the organizational executive decisions must reach to Purodha
Pramukha for his discretionary and final judgment.
(B) PP's post is for whole life long.
(C) In the Purodha Board, PP's single vote has decisive meaning.
(D) Each of the judiciary decisions also must reach to Purodha Pramukha for
his final approval.
(E) Purodha Pramukha is Chief of the Purodhas.
(F) So many more social duties and responsibilities he has.
By all this it is quite clear that the post of Purodha Pramukha is a social
post in our Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha.
And when just a brainless person is occupying the chair of
PP, then all these social duties get done by others who are controlling
from behind the scenes. Or they do not get done at all. That is a colourful
twist of things since 1990.
In any event, the basic idea then is that the post of PP is only social in
nature. Means it is limited up to the social realm-- that's all.
BABA IS THE SPIRITUAL HEAD
In our Tantric system of Ananda Marga, Baba being the Tarak Brahma and
Sadguru is the spiritual guide for one and all. He is the spiritual head of
Ananda Marga.
In other dogmatic organisations the guruship gets handed down from one
person to the next. In that way different people take on the role of guru
such that their so-called spiritual leader changes from generation to
generation.
But our AM is not like that. In Tantra only Taraka Brahma is the Guru.
Even then a few people get confused and casually refer to PP as the
spiritual head of AM. But this is totally wrong. And sincerely speaking I
think every Ananda Margii feels in their heart that only Baba is the Guru--
that He is the Supreme spiritual Guide.
But just in their silly way a couple people might refer to PP in that
faulty way.
NOWADAYS WHO IS GETTING THIS SOCIAL POST OF PP
If you look at the present day dogmatic religious scene or political field
then you may see that stupid people are always getting the power. Just some
dummy type of persons get the leadership roles.
To qualify oneself only one attribution is needed: Just be a dummy in the
hand of some tricky exploiters. Then one will get all kinds of praise and
post. In contrast if one has their own independent way of thinking then
they will not get any place. Rather they will be cast aside.
Unfortunately, as stated above, our AMPS has fallen into this same negative
track. Because nowadays in our organisation the main quality or trait
needed for getting Vishesh yoga, Purodhaship, Central Committee or Purodha
Board membership, or any other type of high post-- then only this single
quality is needed: lack of brains.
About this topic certainly more can be said so others should also write
their feeling and experiences about this.
BABA'S BLESSING
Even though in the relative sphere our Marga is struggling some, surely the
day is not far when all will rally around His divine message in one voice
and declare:
"All human beings belong to one race...'The exploitation of human beings
cannot be allowed!' and, 'Religious hypocrisy cannot be tolerated!' Giving
a clarion call to the fragmented human society from beneath the saffron
flag, the symbol of service and sacrifice, they will proclaim at the top of
their voices, 'Human beings of the world, unite!'" (POD)
Namaskar,
Surya
Note: When Purodha Pramukha is the chief of the Purodhas then he has the
same dharmic duties as they do. So when various xyz purodhas are trying to
follow 16 points in what little or big way they can, then at least our
future PP should also try. Unfortunately to date the PP refrained from
doing so. From this one can only assume that maybe from bi-pied
(two-legged) the PP thought he
became angelic and he got two wings so that he need not do. Is that why the
various PP Dadas have long given-up following dharmic duties by not singing
kiirtan, not attending DC, not doing Guru Puja, not singing Prabhat
Samgiita, etc.

A MOST IMPORTANT POINT THAT IS LEAST UNDERSTOOD IN THE HEART
"Harareme pita' gaorii ma'ta' Svadesha bhuvanatreyan"
"Parama Purusa is my Father, Parama Prakrti is my Mother, and the universe
is my homeland. We are all citizens of this universe...And this universe is
the thought projection of Brahma, so the ownership of the universe lies
with the Supreme Entity."
"None of the moveable or immoveable property of this universe belongs to
any particular individual; 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." (POD, p. 1-2)
Note: Some so-called proutists can deliver long lectures & fancy talks
about this above notion. But mostly their knowledge is only theoretical or
superficial. They lack the necessary inner heart-felt connection &
understanding that: The entire property of this universe belongs to Parama
Purusa; and that all are His progeny; and, that therefore the entire
property belongs to one and all. This feeling is lacking in their heart.
In the absence of this, when some so-called Proutists see any greedy
capitalist, then they salute him and covet the idea to become like him.
Some other so-called proutists think: 'What is in my pocket is mine and
that wherever Prout gets established then everyone else's pocket will also
become mine'. They never think that, 'What is in my pocket belongs to
everyone else'. Not surprisingly then we also see in our organisation that
moneyed-persons ($$) get a lot of respect by virtue of their wallet. So in
our AMPS nowadays that there are two types of behavior or dealing: One
special style of treatment for the wealthy and another less careful type of
behaviour towards the poorer margiis. This is quite evident at retreats,
dharmacakra, seminars etc.
All told then in our day-to-day, practical life many people forget and
overlook this very point of Cosmic patrimony. This idea is not saturated in
their heart. Hence special care should be taken-- we should be vigilant not
to forget this above said guideline of Baba.
