Namaskar !

Today is the first day of DMS after three days of Sect Summer conference. While 51hr long kiirtan is in full swing, there was the first discourse of Rev PP dada.

Rev. Purodha Pramukha Dadaji, Ac. Vishvadevananda Avt conducted Dharma Maha sammelan in our own Master Unit, Ananda Putta Bhumi, Poland on 1st August.

The topic of Discourse of today’s morning pravacan was “BABA the best symbolization of Supreme Consciousness, Parama Purusa”.

When our sensory organs come in contact with the waves, vibrations of this phenomenal world, we perceive them.

And to get them assimilated, subjectivise in the mental sphere, thereafter we see to give expression to them.

In other words when the idea is imbibed in the sensory organs, after it gets crystalized it finds expression through our motor organs.

Only in a very small fraction comes within the scope of perception. Because our sensory organs, have a very little value of power of perception.

Baba says, in this phenomenal universe, whatever the power are, whatever the power gets expressed human beings can perceive not even 1% of them, and even less than that, or rather we say that very much less than that can be expressed by our organs.

While seeking to give expression, we take the help of, or rather we have to take the help of symbolization.

Without symbolization, the expression is not possible, whereas there is no expression, it means symbolization is not possible.

Whereas there is no expression, it means symbolization is not possible, when sym we say it is inexplicable it is incomprehensivable it is not understandable.

In the expressed universe whatever happens is within the scope of, within the limit of the relativity that is time, space and person. Now even that which is the within the scope of within the bound of, even a small fraction of that we are able to express & symbolize. So how can we symbolize that entity which is absolute, which is infinite and boundless?

It is just quite out of question. Parama Purusa cannot be explained in any way.

It is not possible and one becomes dumb and the speech becomes impossible.

About Parama Purusa, Supreme Consciousness,  it has been said in scriptures:

Karmádhyakśa sarvabhútádhivásah sákśii cetá kevalo nirguńashca

In this way, Rev PP Dadaji explains this discourse in detail with highlighting BABA’s stories and related points from various points by giving references.

After that there was another organizational and legal briefing meeting with senior and duty bearing margiis, which was addressed by Ac Rudrananda Ji.

In the afternoon there was a presentation about Ananda Marga activities Region wise.

The Photo clipping is attached for all the above programs and some more since the arrival of our Rev PP Dadaji and Respected Ac Rudrananda Avadhuta Dadaji.

Truly in HIS Sublime Guidance,

Namaskar Dear Brothers and Sisters,

It was evening DMS pravacan on 1st August and Rev PP Dadaji started with this discourse and it is mentioned in brief.

Our subject is the same; BABA is the best symbolization of Parama Purusa, Supreme Consciousness. Even though the supreme entity is beyond the scope of symbolization, yet spiritual aspirants, Sadhakas they continue to make efforts. What do they do, they dedicate a name to that entity.

In English it is not name is called Nam, its nomenclature, and the entity who is named, is called as Namii.

In the spiritual parlance, the Nam denotes to the holy of the lord and the Namii is the lord himself. Who is called out by the spiritual name.

Now we know that one cannot name oneself, somebody else does the naming. So there is need of a nomenclature, so there is need of a namer.

Who can be this namer, namer?

To give the name to the Lord.

You know when there was no devotee, there were no spiritual aspirants, the Sadhakas. The Lord was nameless, He had no name.
When devotees came into existence, they named the Lord and the God became a Named-God.

So it is the Sadhakas the devotees who names, so we get three entities the sadhaka, the namer , the Nam and the Namii.

Thus the spiritual aspirants, symbolizes the Namii, the Lord to express Him by giving a name, & thereby connecting themselves, with Namii through the incantation or holy chant of the Nam.

Here a pertinent question arises?

Namii is more powerful or name is more powerful, in this connection, BABA says, that the Nam suffers from limitation of language, vocalization.

Secondly, the sadhaka who connects himself, the namii in the incantation of Nam, also suffers from limitation,

The sadhaka repeats the nam, with the help of mind, and the mind itself suffers through the limitation of various bondages, so the sadhakas mind cannot give expression, to that infinite, unlimited entity through the medium of vocalized expression.

Here BABA says, although the nam cannot represent the Namii intoto because the Namii is much more powerful, than Nam.

Yet effort should be made, in this direction, what is the harm in it, so the next question come s then, what name should be given to the Lord?

There is one PS and it narrates with what name Oh! Lord should I address you, so as to invoke you in service, what name should I take, so as to worship you, invoke in your service, & what name should I taken, I what name we should I call u.

In the morning of August 2nd, Rev PP Dadaji spoke the following discourse and it is in short notes below.

In this devotional song, the presence of Lord has been told, where do you reside, in the flow of tears, when devotees weep for PP, for their Beloved father PP, there tears comes out not from here neither middle but comes out like this, through the cheeks and comes out and drops down in the palms, this tears are known as Ananda asru, asru means tears, Ananda means “bliss”, Blissful tears.

So this tears differentiate the devotees, from others and when tears rolls down from the middle of the eye, straight way they are called shoka asru, grief, tears of grief. Somebody is very tension, somebody in grief, agony. So BABA says, in this song that you are in blissful tears.

In India, there was one poet Saint Kabir and quite illiterate, don’t know reading, writing but has given many valuable guidance for the society to understand about the nature of how to know Lord and so today’s pravacan, the discourse and the subject of the discourse is, “The Lord and his ornaments”.

In the afternoon, there were regional meetings in different venue of MU and 2 baby naming ceremonies held.

Before Rev PP Dadaji came over to the DMS venue, the long 51 hours Akhanda kiirtan came to an end and after collective Sadhana was .

Rev PP Dadaji was given guard of honor and Dadaji garlanded the Pratikriti and Acting DPS garlanded him.

Rev Dadaji distributed prizes for the most satisfactory performance & pracar activities, the evening DMS pravacan was about “Ideal Life”. Thereby after the pravacan, Beloved Baba’s short discourse was displayed and longest Varabhaya mudra blessings was showered on all the devotees of Berlin sector after collective Guru Puja. Avarta kiirtan was played to carry the blissful vibrations throughout the entire universe.

In the late evening there was closing ceremony, which was presided by Respected Ac Rudrananda Avadhuta to give concluding words of inspiration to carry the onward movement of Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha, Berlin sector. Dadaji gave his consent to all to develop the organizational consciousness and take effective programs and enhance concrete activities of Marga and requested ideological margiis children to give a serious thought to go for whole timer training. But last not the least inspiration was to remain attached to structural solidarity.

Later Sectorial Rector, SWWS and SS of Berlin sector gave their heartfelt good wishes to one and all for making this summer conference and DMS a grand success from 29, 30 and 31st July for summer conference and 1st & 2nd August for the DMS.

truly in HIS Holy Feet,

Ac Gatimayananda Avt

Patna Dharma Maha Sammelan, 13-14 October 2012

Patna is the capital of Bihar – India. For Ananda Marga it is a very important place which has seen the growth of the Mission around the year 1978 when Baba gave several Dharshans that are recorded in His books. At distance of 34 years the Margi of Patna has warmly welcomed Rev. Purodha Pramukha A’carya Vishvadeva’nanda Avadhu’ta that is shouldering the spiritual leadership of the Ananda Marga Mission today.


Two days of Dharma Maha Sammelan have required a very thorough preparation expecting an attendance of around 10.000 devotees. When PP Dada arrived the first day all the pandal was already full. He delivered a very complete discourse regarding the eight fold path of Buddha that spanned also in the evening session. The discourse was given in Hindi interspersed with some English words that marked the desire to give the sense of the universality of Ananda Marga ideology.
At the end of the first day the Margi of Patna expressed that they felt the same vibration as at Baba’s time. The procession that happened also in the first day was measured around two miles long. The second day went similarly with a very entertaining and well prepared RAWA program in which the artists prepared by brother Mrinal of Ranchi performed Prabhat Samgiit and a colorful comedy on Prout. Last was a professional performance with table by an invited artist. In the last Day the discourses of PP dada moved on a more devotional tone with a topic centered on “Who is Ba’ba’”. After the discourse a video of Ba’ba’ completed the program leaving a permanent mark in the heart of all devotees present in the event. Margi could not finish to thanks for the program that brought surely more than 10.000 margi all together dancing in bliss and enjoying the spiritual waves.
Next DMS program will be in Ananda Nagar for the end of the year celebration. Already it has been announced a one month Akhanda Kiirtan to happen there ending on New Year’s Eve. There is the confidence that no force can stop Ananda Marga from propagating more and more. New books has been published with particular reference to two university text books by Prof. Mohanty of the Utkal University of Bhuvaneshvar – Orissa. One is on Yoga and the second is on Bhakti. In both of them reference to Ananda Marga ideology is complete and put in context with the known lines of Yoga and Bhakti.
“The flowers of different gardens will unite into a bouquet which will be more, not less, beautiful than the individual flowers themselves.”
“When one’s love is to give pleasure to the Lord and not to enjoy the pleasure for oneself, one’s mind gets metamorphosed into the mind of the Lord.”
“You must create the Great Universe as soon as possible. There will be peace and happiness in the universe, and with one indivisible ideology, humanity will march ahead.”

Around 7 to 8 thousand margiis participated in the DMS on the first day of 24 March, 2012.

There was a colorful rally on 24th March covering important places of Jamalpur.

In the evening of 24 March also, there was RU meeting held in main town hall, where the subject of discourse was “Economic Democracy based on Spirituality”.

Dr. Mukush Kumar Civil Surgeon was the Chief Guest of this function.

Ac Priyatoshananda Avt has a main speaker concluded that for the smooth running of the society, leader ship must be based on moral values known as “Sadvipras”.

These Sadvipras will control economic power to decentralize & to fulfill the minimum requirements of life and enhance purchasing capacity, and political power in the hands of spiritual moralists.

Other speakers shared unparalleled contribution of Shrii P.R.Sarkar alias Shrii Shrii Anandamurti Jii in all walks of life, they emphasized that this is the only remedy for the present socio-economico-political problems and also to spiritualize the society teaching these Maharajadhiraj Meditation based on Bio-psychology.

During this occasion of DMS, there was organizational meeting for BP’s, UBP’s and other related duty bearers. During this occasion, all our Central Departmental Heads gave the inspiring as well as latest information about the functioning of the Marga, which is marching ahead to achieve the Goal of Mission – Átmamokśárthaḿ Jagat Hitáya ca.

The main attraction of the program started with Akhanda Kiirtan around 10 am of March 24th. 30 hours of Akhanda kiirtan – Baba Nam kevalam spiritualized the whole DMS program day and night awakening their spiritual insight and during the concluding part of the Akhanda kiirtan, SG of SDM department Ac Nirmohananda Avt gave a detailed description & importance of Kiirtan to all Hari Pari Mandal devotees and colorful RAWA programs which was held on 24 and 25 evening was organized with the help of local RAWA team and the artists who performed were the Margii children, students of Children home and schools of Ananda Marga of neighboring Jamalpur Bhukti’s.

More than 10 to 12, Baby naming ceremonies were conducted in the premises of the Pandal, during this two days.

7 RM’s were conducted within these two months and all couples were blessed in this occasion as per the information from our correspondent of Society building department.

Youth and Students took the commitment to promote the activity of the Marga whole heartedly during the meetings organized.

Press and media gave a wide coverage of the whole DMS including live telecast to few sectors.

At noon time on March 24th, Rev Purodha Pramukha Ac Vishvadevananda Avadhuta arrived at DMS venue and delivered his morning topic. Rev Dadaji said that, on this occasion of Jamalpur Dharma Maha Sammelan(DMS), we all have assembled by HIS Grace, and I do my heartfelt namaskar to one and all.

Whenever we come over here to Jamalpur, all of us will come to know the importance of Guru in one’s life, and we also know that who grants unconditional wishes to his devotees with His anugraha shakti(bestows merciful grace) and his topic of discussion was “Shrii Guru carana kamala kathanam”, (Stories of Shrii Guru’s lotus feet).

Starting with the Ananda Sutram quote – Brahma eva Gururekah naparah, Rev Dadaji said that Sadguru himself is Shrii Bhagavan.

In other words, Shrii Bhagavan himself is Shrii Shrii Sadguru.

When He takes advent of the physical framework suitable for Him to express completely His anugraha shakti(bestows merciful grace), the scriptures have expressed many things about that.

The physical framework seems to be very ordinary but it is extra ordinary as well as perfectly beyond absolute.

So whenever there is any unconditional grace showering by Sadguru, then each and every molecule will be vibrated and it remains for thousands of years in potential form.

Then Rev Dadaji narrated one incident about a margii devotee when walking in field walk with Baba, he was telling that margiis have purchased a land far from the main town, but Baba asked what was the reason, then that margii said that once when he was doing sadhana in that remote land, he felt such a soothing vibration that he was completely intoxicated from that place.

Then Baba asked the margii you know what was the reason?

What could that margii say?

Then Baba said, once during the time before the Mahabharata war started, Shrii Krsna and Arjuna were traveling in Angdesha’s capital Nathnagar to meet Karna. On the way, the place where you realized the special vibration, Shrii Krsna as well as Arjuna had to stay over a night and you may see there is stone slab, where both had passed the night, so for this reason that Shrii Krsna who had stayed for a night has created a vibration which is still vibrating till now which you have felt in that place.

So Baba was saying that even if Taraka Brahma stays for few hours, then the sadhakas by just few minutes of concentrated kiirtan, they can receive those vibrations for their spiritual emancipation as well as with dhyana and more kiirtan they can also feel the presence of Taraka Brahma, where He has spent only for few minutes even.

The ways of spirituality is so subtle to understand, Rev PP Dadaji said.
