== MEANINGFUL LETTER ==

Namaskar, Brother Goenkaji is doing a great job on tearing down the dogma of Mahaprayan Divas (MPD). In his below letter he is giving the proper logic and response to those groupist people who cling to their dogmatic notion of MPD. Anyone who is open-minded will easily understand Goenka's below point that mahaprayan is equivalent to the word "death" and is therefore regularly used in association with ordinary human beings. One such example is provided. In that case, it is totally misguided and dogmatic to use this same mahaprayan term in conjunction with our Revered Gurudev Baba. Mahaprayan means death, yet our Baba is the timeless and eternal Parama Purusa. Those who wish to know the truth will easily get the point. Respectfully, Shantatma

“THE WORD “MAHAPRAYANA” MEANS DEATH”

I am enclosing herewith an evidence from a leaf of a souvenir to prove that the word 'Mahaprayana' means nothing but death. It is a photo of a literary person of Kolkata and it says that he was born on 11th September 1919 and he died (Mahaprayana) on 11th November 2008.

Your's brotherly,
