Mahaprayan Divas Special ,Mahaprayan of BABA never happened. Mahaprayan happens for human being. BABA is Parama Purusa.

 The Sanskrit word "Mahaprayan" means a  great and glorious  journey, and implies a sadhaka's attainment of salvation, after departure from the world. Therefore, socalled  departure of Baba from the world cannot be treated as Mahaprayan because it cannot be said He as the Taraka Brahma has attained some higher stratum after leaving the physical body. He is the bridge between Sauguna and Nirguna, having command over both realms, and His status is permanent. As like as the sun, although stationary in the solar world, appears as rising and setting, similarly Taraka Brahma appears as visible some time and afterwards become invisible although He neither comes nor goes.

[ See above how Islamic followers surround the entire Islamic memorial building: To do their religious rituals. The above Islamic memorial building itself sits upon the tomb of their deceased Faqir so the entire structure / Islamic memorial is the focal point of their Islamic worship.

[ Verily there is no question about who copied from whom? Seeing that the Muslim ceremony has been going on for many centuries, it is quite evident. Please read below for more details. 

Photo of Islamic mahaprayan / tomb worship

See below how hoards of Islamic followers / worshipers have gathered at this maqbara - i.e. a memorial building with a tomb inside. By the design of the building it is clear it is an Islamic memorial building as marked by the round shaped dome. Often such maqbaras have a plaque in the floor where the actual tomb is and they may build some indoor structure on that spot. And that is all housed by the greater memorial building or maqbara.

Islamic worshipers reach there to perform their annual tomb worship - mahaprayan. The Muslim masses surround their lighted mosque day and night and wait on line to do their ritualistic offering etc. Because so many have arrived there is an overflow of people - not all can fit inside. So they remain outdoors, waiting for the opportunity to enter. 

All this they do in the name of Islamic tomb worship - Islamic mahaprayan. See below the Islamic memorial building itself sits upon the tomb of their deceased Faqir so the entire structure / Islamic memorial is the focal point of their Islamic worship. That is why - even if Islamic followers cannot fit inside - those Muslim followers surround the entire Islamic memorial building: To do their religious rituals - Islamic mahaprayan.

 BABA SAYS, “I am not this physical body, this physical body is not me….” ( Supreme Expression)

BABA SAYS, “When they [the deceased] leave this world and go to the other world, they go beyond the scope of our responsibility. We cannot render any service to them [the deceased]. Our social responsibility is over as soon as the cremation is done.” (Ananda Vacanmrtam -3, Shráddha)

 BABA SAYS, “….. All these things done in the name of shráddha are nothing but a cheating business. (AVM part 3, Chapter – Shráddha, 18 October 1978, Patna)

BABA SAYS “The departed soul does not get any advantage from the shráddha ceremony.” (Caryacarya-1, Shráddha Ceremony)

 BABA SAYS, "Human beings yield to this dogma with the sole intention of attaining selfish pleasures; even educated people knowingly submit to dogma. They know that they are surrendering their intellect to dogma, and that the outcome will be undesirable; they know and understand everything - why, even then, do they knowingly submit to it? They are all deliberate sinners and intentionally accept dogmas as truth….” (31 Dec 1981, Anandanagar, Discourse 6 of “The Liberation of Intellect”)

Socalled Mahaprayan celebration every year at Tiljala for 6 days is based on negative thought. We should not celebrate any loss or bereavement. Moreover, any spiritual celebration should be uniformly held in all AMPS units around the globe. Six day kiirtan at Tiljala is creating a geo-sentiment, making thereby the place a socalled holy spot of pilgrimage.

 Kiirtan is  one of the most valuable gift by Baba for mankind. So the Kiirtan -divasa should be observed everywhere for  welfare, peace and bliss of the world. Superiority of Kiirtan is because we can bring the Lord to us by performing kiirtan, whereas in meditation, we move on towards His abode.

Lord Krsna in the Gita says, even if Yoga is practised very little with true devotion, the benefits are vast. We should try and make at least a single step forward, and Baba will do everything for our salvation.

 All know that Baba, as the Parama Purusa, has perfectly given everything, including what to do after He withdraws His Mahasambhuti form. Yet He never mentioned one word about so-called mahaprayan. Here the point is that we should follow Baba, not those with their own agenda.

Now again the season has arrived where various hosts and advocates etc are promoting their so-called mahaprayan program. We all know that Baba is eternal but certain persons are trying to impose their dogmatic mahaprayan function on the common margiis. Most have rejected this program as it goes against our basic feeling of bhakti.

Why? Because so-called mahaprayan is against the ideological foundations of Ananda Marga. Instead, mahaprayan is the brainchild of a few human beings involved in their own narrow agenda.

What does it mean by “Baba’s withdrawal of His Mahasambhuti form”

Mahasambhuti: Taraka Brahma is an ever-present Entity. When Parama Purusa functions and plays this role He cares about the well-being of creation - and helps everyone in all kinds of situations. And in His role as Taraka Brahma, He also grants liberation. But from time to time, when society goes astray then He takes advent on this earth and the name of that role is Mahasambhuti. So we say that the advent of Mahasambhuti has happened. After establishing dharma He withdraws His Mahasambhuti form and remains in nityananda - and He loves and cares for His creation. When He established dharma then gradually it manifests to all. Initially the common people cannot perceive that dharma is established. That is why when He withdraws His Mahasambuti form then many get confused and think that dharma is not established so how can He withdraw His form. But gradually people realise and see that dharma is established and demonic forces get destroyed. The good things that were impossible earlier became a reality. Anyhow, this is just a side point

Ananda Marga philosophy says, "Perhaps you know what dogma means. Dogma means an idea around which some line is demarcated, beyond which it is prohibited to go. 'You will have to accept this doctrine, you cannot go beyond it.' -- this sort of restricting idea is called dogma...Remember, you are not alone in this world, not only in this world but also in this entire universe. This universe is pervaded by Parama Purusa. We are always sitting on His very lap." (1)

"So see" Dadaji explained. "Baba tells that Parama Purusa is everywhere; Baba tells dogma is that which restricts the mind; so-called mahaprayan says Baba has departed or gone away; then surely mahaprayan comes under the category of dogma."

 Baba has given the full list of social and spiritual functions of Ananda Marga in our Caryacarya part 1. This list does not include Mahaprayan (MPD)."

He continued,  "No doubt, some dogmatic people may be thinking that Baba deliberately did not speak about what His disciples should do or should not do after He withdraws His Mahasambhuti form because it would have been intolerable for most to hear. But I think this very idea is completely incorrect. Because when Baba talks about how to do Guru Puja after He withdraws of His form as Mahasambhuti and remains in nityananda in the Acarya Diary, then if He would have felt necessary then surely He would have included this MPD function into our Caryacarya scripture as well. But Baba did not do so. So according to the logical conclusion, mahaprayan itself is negative program and it is not approved by Baba because it is against the fundamental teachings of Marga Guru."

"With their rational mind one can say mahaprayan is dogma because it has no logic, just MPD is one imposed, restrictive idea. Just see what Baba says on this point."

Then I looked in the book - “A Few Problems Solved.”

when Guru is present then we can offer worldly things to Him directly - if a sadhaka desires. Baba then directs us that if one has a strong desire to offer physical objects to Him after He withdraws His Mahasambhuti form, those objects should be given to appropriate members of the society who are lacking those very things - because He is not present as Mahasambuti to receive those things. That will be the true service to Baba."

Dada replied, "Very good, and here the main point is that Sadguru Baba has given all the instructions for all kinds of circumstances, even addressing the situation after He has withdrawn His form this earth. So this proves that Baba is willing to talk about that. So no one can claim that Baba could not tell about mahaprayan. The fact is that Baba purposely never planned any annual death ceremony like mahaprayan because it is dogmatic and against our Ananda Marga ideology."

 Inventors of MPD forgot Baba is Parama Brahama

When we are preaching others then we preach, that there is no comparison of the Personality of Taraka Brahma.

Ananda Marga philosophy says, "Tula' va' upama' Krs'n'asya na'sti; Krs'n'a Bhagava'n svayam.” (3)

Meaning: There is no comparison of the Lord's attributions. Taraka Brahma can be compared with Himself and Himself alone. No entity is similar to Him.

Dada went on, "It is so regrettable that according to our convenience sometimes we preach that Baba is Taraka Brahma Sadguru, and other times according to selfish convenience we compare Baba with mortal human being and think that He passed away as normal human beings do. That is not good."

"I think that those who believe in Mahaprayan (MPD), they think of Baba as ordinary mortal. These MPD believers forget their Goal that Baba is Sadguru, the All-Pervading Omnipresent Being. And that very Baba Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji is unparalleled, beyond comparison. Then why we should compare that very Supreme Entity as normal human being coming under the domain of life and death?"

"When we are preaching Baba's stories then we comprehend that idea that Baba is above all human beings, Baba is living with us and He is helping. But the next moment when we talk about Mahaprayan (MPD) then we just overlook the whole spiritual philosophy or devotional aspect and start thinking Baba as one mortal frame. How ironic!"

This invention of mahaprayan was done with the motive to infuse an inferiority complex in the mind of those sadhakas who could not see Baba in Mahasambhuti frame. Those central Dadas selfishly thought that this will be one plus point in their favour. Because they can easily undermine those suffering from an inferiority complex, i.e. those who did not see Baba before 1990. In result such margiis can be treated as 2nd class citizens and easily pushed around.”

 “The founders of mahaprayan preach that since Baba “passed away”,  now there is no scope to go close to Baba, or have His close proximity. That opportunity is gone forever. By that way those who could not avail the opportunity or those who were born after 1990 or because of any reason those who could not see Baba, they should realise mentally that they are all unfortunate beings.”

 Mahaprayan of BABA never happened. Mahaprayan happens for human being. BABA is Parama Purusa. His divine body still exists. HE is always with us. HE appears physically whenever you need HIS help. HE appears in dreams to give you “Darshan. Who says BABA has departed? We always converse with BABA in “Dhyan” (sixth Lesson). Guru Sakash, Guru Pooja, Guru Dhyan- all confirm that BABA is always with us. Word Mahaprayan is against devotional sentiment of Devotees.

 Lord Shiva and Lord Krishna are very much alive today because devotees never declared their Mahaprayan. That is why world are still celebrating birthday of Lord Krishna. Then why foolish people have been observing Mahaprayan of BABA.

[ In Bangla language, word “Mahaprayan” means “Death”- (As per online Samsad Bengali Dictionary:” ̃প্রয়াণ n. voluntary journey to court one's death; death. ̃প্রয়াণ করা v. to set out voluntarily to court one's death; to die.”). But Baba is PARAMA PURUSA. HE is omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient. Word “Mahaprayan” is a common Bengali word always used in Bengali Newspapers for the death of renowned persons/ common men. Anyone can check in Bengali Newspapers.

.This is the background thinking of those who cultivated the ideas of so-called mahaprayan. By that way they think that in Ananda Marga society they will be treated fortunate because they lived along with Baba, and those who could not live in Baba's physical proximity they are all in subordinated category. By this way inferiority complex has been injected by introduction of mahaprayan."
