Subject: Re: “SAMKALPA DIVAS' VS. 'MAHAPRAYAN DIVAS' From:"Panda" Date:Wed, 30 Sep 2009 11:51:27 +0530 To: CC:

Baba Namaska'ram. Lord Buddha said idol worship shouldn't be done.After his death his disciples started making idol of Buddha & worshipping him. This is a negative point what historians point out for downfall of BUddhism. Similarly Baba clearly mentioned in CARYA"CARYA that shraddha should be observed within twelve days of death of a person. But after His physical departure a group of followers have been observing anniversary of 21st october in the name of MAHA"PRAYA"N"A. Now the proposal is to observe same day as SAMKALPA Divas. Let's follow whatever Ba'ba' has given in black & white. Let's not add like MAHAPRAYAN or Samkalapa divas. Let's observe A"NANDA PU"RNMA" as instructed by HIM in Carya'carya. Thanking you Narayan Panda ----- Original Message ----- From: Subramaniyan K To: sgoenka@gogoindia.com Sent: 29 September, 2009 2:24 PM Subject: Re: “SAMKALPA DIVAS' VS. 'MAHAPRAYAN DIVAS' Baba Namaskar, Baba's birthday can be celebrated even for whole month or 10 days or in a more excellent manner to remember Baba's birthday. But, it is not happening and only [the dogmatic] Mahaprayan is more highlighted with 5 days kiirtan. Here I am...certainly against doing anything to observe Baba's physical departure day. It should be a just normal day. We can do 5 days kiirtan on Baba's birthday (Ananda Purnima) and 21st Oct should be a just historical day. How Lord Shiva and Krsna's death day is ignored by Hindus in the same way 21st October also should be ignored by margiis and max celebration should be there on Baba's birthday. Subramaniyan

About the Above Audio File: New Myth About Cemetery Sadhana in Ananda Marga

These days various senior Dadas are convincing junior workers and family margiis that going to the cemetery is only for kapalikas and that others do not have the right to go. They further state that "If you go to the cemetery then you are inviting your own destruction." This is the myth and fear complex they are injecting.

But in the above audio file, Baba is explicitly telling that going to the cemetery is "very encouraging" for sadhana and that all sadhakas should do sadhana in the cemetery whenever they get the chance.

(Note: Kindly understand that the above sound file has background noise because it was recorded while Baba is actually walking in the street with His entourage.)

Here is a transcription of the audio file.

About the Above Microvita Sound File

The above sound file is related with the posting, Concept of Satan in Ananda Marg.

In that sound file Baba is telling:

हम जिसको "positive microvitum" कहते हैं, दरअसल यह क्या है जी ? यह तो परमपुरुष की कृपा है | हम तुम लोगों को हँसाने के लिए बोलते हैं "positive microvitum" |

Baba says, "That which I call "positive microvitum", in reality what is it? Nothing but the grace of Parama Purus'a. I use the term "positive microvitum" to make you laugh." (1 January 1988 DMC, Anandanagar)

Definition of Ideology

Here in this blog, the term ideology is regularly used. This is the meaning.

Ideology is any teaching that is beneficial to one and all: Humans, animals, plants, animate and inanimate objects, and the whole creation. Ideology is any theory or philosophy that works in 360 degrees and aims towards universal welfare.

The theory that is only for the benefit of a particular race, caste, group, clan, community, religion or nation is not ideology in our view. Theirs is just a narrow agenda. The term ideology means being concerned for everyone and everything: flora and fauna.

In addition, those drowned in personal problems who do not think about the suffering of others are living a life based on selfishness.

In all such cases, their approach is diametrically opposite to what what we mean by the term, ideology. We should help such persons give up their narrow boundaries and selfish agendas and live a life based on the tenets of universal benevolence. Then theirs will be a life based on ideology.

To do and die for ideology means working tirelessly for the service of all: To commit one's life, i.e. every waking moment from childhood up to the last breath, to this high ideal of universal welfare. That is the spirit of doing and dying for ideology. To do something selfless that is beneficial for all, not one particular group, always harboring the idea that everyone is my kith and kin.

Translation of Rs'i Sound File

About Baba's Above A'nanda Va'n'ii

About the Above Sound File: Purnea DMC 1971

The above sound file is from Purnea DMC in 1971 wherein Baba is explaining that in the clash between two Buddhist factions, both sides lost their ideology. Tragically, similar events are going on now in our AMPS. Please refer to this posting, ...Baba is on my side.

Here is the English translation of Baba's above teaching.

Baba says, "About thirty-five years ago [in 1936], a war was going on between two countries, the citizens of which have the same religion (Buddhist). When the soldiers went to war, their mothers used to pray to Lord Buddha to save the lives of their respective sons. What will Lord Buddha do? Save this man or that man? Both have the same “Is't'a,” but both parties have totally forgotten their ideology. If they were established in the ideology, they would not have gone to war." (SE)

About Baba Singing Sam'gacchadhvam'

In the above file, Baba is singing the samgacchadhvam chant in such a rhythmical and lyrical manner. It is truly a unique occasion. This occurred in the late 60's.

The main reason to listen to the file is to perfect our pronunciation of the chant and to practice the proper pronunciation in our weekly dharmacakra.

In our Tantric sadhana, the pronunciation and intonation (rhythm) of the mantra is very important. We have different mantras and shlokas for various practices and the pronunciation and rhythym needs to be proper. If these elements are not proper, then the effect is reduced / compromised. So we should all be vigilant to perfect the pronunication and rhythmic flow of the shloka by emulating Baba's style.

About the above Bhohpurii Bhajan

Tu' a'gail ho, Baba, dedo darshanava'n

In the above song, the bhaktas are blissfully singing and the spirit of their song is:

"Oh Baba, You have graciously come to give us Your darshan and blesssing."

By listening to the sound clip, anyone with even a little bit of devotion can hear how Baba is showering His grace and the bhaktas are in bhava - divine ecstasy.

One can feel that still this song carries that strong devotional vibration as Baba is sitting and listening.

In those early days there was no Prabhat Samgiita so margiis were singing bhajans in their mother tongue. If you have bhajans from your area when Baba visited, please send us those.

Those familiar with the above song should write us with the full lyrics as we only have this short segment.

About Religion

Baba says, "Religions create undue fear complex in the human mind. Utilizing the lure of heaven and the dread of hell they destroy nationality and humanity. Motivated by their own petty interests they create artificial divisions in the human society. Should intelligent people be bound by the serpentine nooses of such religions? No, they should not; they must not. If at all people allow themselves to be bound by nooses, it should be understood that they are intellectually bankrupt. In all countries of the world such people form separate communities. Perhaps religion has done the most damage to humanity. After all, it is in the name of religion that most human conflicts have occurred. Now the time has come to put an end to the conflict over religion forever." (AFPS-7)

About Baba's Hilarious Joke in Above Audio

Shiva ke ha'th men d'ambaru' hai,
Aor log Shiva ko pranam karate hein.

Aor d'ambaru' soch raha' hai,
Ki log unko pranam kar raha' hai. (laughter)

In the above audio file, Baba is making one hilarious joke. He is saying that just as due to false ego the d'ambaru' (small drum) of Lord Shiva thinks that everyone is saluting it (i.e. the drum) and not Lord Shiva, similarly due to their inflated egos some of our acaryas / wts think that bhaktas are doing pranam to them when in fact those bhaktas are honoring and paying salutation to Baba, the Supreme Consciousness within. That is the hilarious joke which Baba is making. And everyone is laughing!

This posting, Lord Shiva D'ambaru' Pranam Acaryas, explains the whole point in greater detail.

About the Above Bhajan

Namaskar,
A respected senior margii from Tamil Nadu has shared this bhajan from the occasion of a DMC in 1965 in South India. The song itself is sung by Dada Samanvayanandji. Here is the main line:

Ta'raka Brahma A'nandamu'rti nama'myaham

O Lord Taraka Brahma Anandamurti, I pay my deepest salutations at Your divine alter.

Although the song is in Sam'skrta, even overseas margiis will recognise some or even many of the words. Part of the devotional nature of this bhajan is that Baba was graciously seated before all the margiis when they were singing this song.

Critical Scriptural Distortions

Here are some of the most critical distortions / alterations made to our Ananda Marga scripture:

1) "Views of Other Faiths": Read Baba's original discourse about the defects and limitations of the Semitic religions (i.e. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). This section has been unscrupulously removed from AM books by various factional Dadas who are more concerned with groupism than AM ideology.

Why they did like this:

By these above distortions such Dadas are testing the waters for permanently changing so many aspects of Baba's divine teachings, just like dogmatic priests of old distorted Lord Shiva's and Lord Krsna's teachings for their own personal gain.

Thus none should think that these scriptural distortions are mere typos. It demands our vigilance to ensure Baba's teachings are maintained in their original, pristine form.

About the Above Bhajan of Mumbai DMC 1971

"This bhajan is being sung and Beloved Baba is sitting there in His most beautiful form and all are singing and dancing before Him. What a beautiful scene it is...

In order to receive the full vibration, please participate by becoming a member of the audience of this darshan. Close your eyes, ideate on Him, and listen. Here is the song:

Baba terii mahima kis vidhi ga'u'n

The general meaning of the bhajan is, 'Oh Baba, Your glory is infinite, Your greatness cannot be expressed, how can I sing Your glory'."

The bhakta singing the above song is Diipakji of Mumbai.

Followers of Dogma Should Read This:

Baba says, "The main structure of the society, rather, the bulk of the society, moved on goaded by these dogmas [like groupism], and this movement of dogma was known as the mainstream of life. Those who did not accept this, those who were guided by reasoning and rationality, were treated as unwanted beings." (AFPS-5)

So we should not harbor the idea that millions of people will quickly come and support us. Those who want to serve the society must not be concerned about public opinion and praise. Rather one should be rationally guided by the idea of serving God and His creation.
