I am singing Prabhat Samgiita to please You
"Gán geye jái tomár tare shunabe tumi ei ásháte..." (Prabhat Samgiita #4799)
Purport:
O' Parama Purusa, You are ever resplendent. On this moonlit night by Your grace I have lit the lamp of devotion and am sitting here surrounded by the vast darkness of my reactive momenta (samskaras). In this ambience I am practicing Prabhat Samgiita, again and again - to please You. I sing on and on with this hope: That You will grace me by listening.
Baba, theoretically I know that You are with me always and that You are my my eternal Sakha' [1], but still I wonder what type of relation is this of ours. You never spend time with me, & You never speak with me. Just You keep me all alone. And in that desperate state I become utterly dry inside and I think that without You my entire life is like the burning desert, with no relief in sight. Without You by my side, in Your absence, I am completely miserable. Please grace me by coming.
O' my dearest One, please give me a sign that You are listening to the calling of my heart. Parama Purusa, please come and tell me whether You are listening or not. After that, You are free to go wherever You like. O' my dearmost Baba, please be gracious and shower Your sweet smile directly in my mind so that it makes a permanently blissful impression - imprinted forever in my memory - like wonderful colours and decoration of alpana' [2].
Baba, please be ever-gracious and reside always in my mental abode - up till eternity...
Notes for Prabhat Samgiita #4799
[1] Sakha': Ananda Marga ideology says, "'Samapra'n'a'h sakha' smrtah'. Where love and devotion are so overwhelming that it appears as if there is only one entity in two bodies, such a pair of persons is known as 'sakha''. The bhakta, the devotee, is the sakha of Parama Purus'a, because the bhakta can never think of himself as a separate entity from Him. Here he altogether forgets that he is separated from God. That is why Parama Purus'a is also a sakha' to His bhaktas and the bhakta is the sakha' of Parama Purus'a." (1)
[2] A'lpana': These are the colourful motifs, sacred art, or decorative painting done on a horizontal surface (walkway, patio etc) on auspicious occasions. Those who have attended DMC might have witnessed how on the walking path across the stage leading up towards Baba's dais there are some very decorative, colourful, attractive designs. In an artistic manner there is brilliant array of flower pollen, flower petals, or any colorful scented fragrance which are soft and upon which someone can walk comfortably. This beautiful and colourful decoration is known as a'lpana' and it is meant to pay high respect and adoration to the Divine Entity. In our Marga this is used for Baba's holy and auspicious arrival. In common social settings and religious life the general population makes such decorations for the arrival of any respected guest. It is also employed in the temples.

Namaskar,
We know that the Prout samaj theory is a broad-minded approach whereby all get the opportunity to rise up and progress. In this way people escape from the noose of various complexes, most notably inferiority complex. The creation of samaj movements is one unique method whereby the whole humanity can develop simultaneously in a complementary fashion.
How exploiters inject an inferiority complex
to establish their own superiority
If one studies the basis of the formation of samajas and their criteria, then one can understand that without the formation of samaj, repressed ethnic populations and the exploited mass will never be able to enjoy freedom in the social sphere. Because exploiters inject various inferiority complexes in the mind of the community which they want to exploit.
For example when the Britishers first started invading India then they suppressed the local language so that the common public was unable to express their grievances to their local government offices. The immediate effect was that the local people began suffering from an inferiority complex: 'I am illiterate, I do not know the basic thing; I am lowly.’ By injecting the superiority of the European language and culture, an inferiority complex was created in the minds of the Indian common mass.
Furthermore, the local customs, manners, behaviors, songs, dance, drama, and all local cultural expression which had high moral value were treated as low in the eyes of the British administrators. So Britishers injected their own films, cultures, manners, styles, and the result was that the inferiority complex became so deep rooted in the Indian population that even today in this 21st century if any person has a Masters degree in Sanskrit then they feel inferior to someone who speaks just a single sentence of English.
When people suffer from an inferiority complex then they lose self-confidence and self-worth. They feel all their own local customs, manners, behaviours, and culture are low. And they prefer to follow the way the exploiters live, eat, and adhere to whatever customs, manners, & behaviours those exploiters do. So due to their inferiority complex, the common mass feels that everything that those exploiters do is great; and their own things are low.
In this stage it is very easy to exploit those suppressed peoples economically. This matter is detailed in the Prout discourse, 'Capitalism in the Three Spheres'
Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar - the Propounder of Prout - states that the chief solution is to instill self-confidence within the local people by developing their samaj. When local, ethnic people feel proud of their own language and customs, they will not suffer from inferiority complexes. And in that case the possibility of their getting exploited will be diminished and eliminated.
How present-day India affected:
abandoning good things, adopting bad ones
For centuries, India safeguarded the dharmic teachings of the vedas, the Upanishads, and the Bhagavad Giita etc. But now due to an inferiority complex that was first imposed during British rule, the youths of today in India do not want to know anything about India's past. They want to become completely European / American. This is evidenced by their choice of food, drink, dress, dance, and manners etc - all of which are based on western pseudo-culture.
What Hollywood produces is copied by Indian youths. Their behaviour is a mirror image of Hollywood presentation. Our Indian youths do not like to follow anything that was told by the sages - i.e. taking sentient food, fasting regularly, embracing moral values, doing namaskar, wearing a laungota, using discreet dress, leading a God-centered life. Those things have all been eradicated, replaced by shaking hands, eating junk food, wearing underwear, walking in public in half-naked dress, embracing western material values, and leading a matter-centered life.
Always there are exceptions, so here we talking about the general trend in our Indian youths. And the root cause is that Britishers injected an inferiority complex that is so deep rooted that if today you ask any Indian about this, they will not understand what you are talking about - they will just get disgusted and reacted by your query. Such is the deep change that has occurred in the psyche.
Plus those Indians living overseas in the US or the UK etc have stopped using water and instead use toilet paper to clean their backside. They completely gave up their good habit of washing with water - though again there are always exceptions.
Furthermore, they like to talk in English, not in their mother tongue - this is especially the case in Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Rajasthan etc. One other pervasive phenomenon, which happens throughout India and across many languages groups, is that when they talk in their mother tongue then they mix in English words and phrases. This happens in the north, south, east and west of India. They do this because they feel English is more prestigious than their own mother tongue. And that belief, i.e. that English is great and their language is lowly, is the effect of their inferiority complex.
Sadly, the new generation is so entrenched in an inferiority complex and so ashamed of Indian traditions, that they are eager to toss aside the good customs of India and adopt the harmful and bad habits of the dominant western pseudo-culture.
Here we are not preaching that everything from the west is bad. Rather it is notable that good traits should be adopted from anywhere. The key problem is that when one is hounded by an inferiority complex then they lose their viveka / discrimination. In that case, they adopt all the ills of the west. That is the tragedy at hand.
The remedy is to speak in their mother tongue and embrace their cultural heritage, and use their power of viveka (discrimination) to understand that not everything from the west is great. And finally, the people of India have to cultivate a sense of self-worth.
Prospect of total annihilation
Prout philosophy states, "Let us observe if there is a close relationship between language and socioeconomic progress and cultural development. I have already said that language is the vehicle of inner thoughts and ideas. Naturally it is inseparably linked with the Práná Dharma or fundamental characteristics of human beings. The way people can express their thoughts and ideas in their own mother tongue cannot be done in any other language. People feel uneasy when they speak in a language other than their mother tongue. If they constantly feel such uneasiness, their Práńa Shakta or vital energy will be disturbed. Consequently their vital force will be weakened. In such circumstance a sort of psychological crisis will occur in the collective mental body as well as in the individual mind. This will result in the emergence of inferiority complexes which will cause debility in the human mind. Those people whose language is suppressed loose their moral courage, initiative and power to protest. Ultimately a defeatist psychology develops in them, and as a group such people face the prospect of total annihilation." (1)

What a fool he is! He cannot speak with grammatical precision
Prout philosophy states, "Let me make the matter of psycho-economic exploitation even more clear. Suppose a certain Hindi chauvinist has come to see you [a bhojpuri person]. When you speak to him, you will certainly speak in Hindi, and so will he. But he is speaking his mother tongue, whereas you are not. Perhaps ungrammatical Hindi words will come out of your mouth. But it is obvious that in your expression there may be some fundamental errors, and the use of words will not be precise and to-the-point. This will create a diffidence in your mind, a kind of inferiority complex, whereas the Hindi-knowing people may suffer from superiority complex. They may think of you, “What a fool he is! He cannot speak with grammatical precision!” But instead if you speak in your own mother tongue [bhojpuri], your expression will be grammatically correct. So when you speak Hindi you become somewhat inferior to those Hindi-speaking person and, talking advantage of our inferior position, they may exploit you economically. They should not be given this opportunity of psycho-economic exploitation. If this sort of psycho-economic exploitation is tolerated, if they are given the opportunity to exploit for long, they will become rulers and you will become their subjects. This is how psycho-economic exploitation is perpetrated; in the first stage the exploiters impose inferiority complex in your mind by creating psychic pressure. When your language is suppressed, you will feel mentally inferior and develop some psychic weakness. Taking advantage of this psychic weakness, the exploiters will continue their psycho-economic exploitation. So those who advocate the cause of Hindi thus pave the way for psycho-economic exploitation. Actually they are not your friends." (2)
Inferiority Complex of Vietnam, Morocco, Mexico, Philippines, South Africa, Zimbabwe
This type of inferiority complex is not exclusive to India but rather wherever Great Britain colonised this complex exists - and same is true with the former colonies of France, Portugal, Holland, and Spain etc. Where they imposed their culture then all their past colonies continue to suffer from this same type of inferiority complex. Their language and culture has been destroyed and they have wholly adopted the aggressor’s language and customs. Often, those former colonies do not even know their own history. On this point India is fortunate - as it has kept some of their own cultural heritage in tact. Primarily it is the youths of India who do not like to follow those cultural values due to their inferiority complex.
Samaj and groupism
A few people believe their Proutistic samaj to be the holiest - and that their samaj should rule over the others. They claim all this in the name of the Proutistic teachings on samaj. However, those who sincerely review the Prout samaj system will clearly recognise when any of the groups tries to make such claims, then that is groupism - not part of the samaj system.

Future Humans-- Body Shape
Baba says, "The situation that will arise in the future as a result of
humanity's ever increasing thirst for knowledge. To meet these developments
the nerve cells and nerve fibres will have to become more complex.
Consequently, the human cranium will become larger and the size of the head
will increase. The hands and feet will become weaker and weaker and human
beings may even lose the ability to walk...In the future, the legs will be
used less and less and the capacity to move on them will decrease. The arms
will become thin, and the head will become abnormally large." (AV-8, p. 8-9)
