THE INTRINSIC ATTRACTION OF BÁBÁ’S ADVENT – AFTER 104 YEARS,
“ADVENT OF SHRII PRABHÁT RAIṊJAN SARKÁR / SHRII SHRII ÁNANDAMÚRTI ON ÁNANDA PÚRŃIMÁ / VAESHÁKHII PÚRŃIMÁ in the year 1921, THE FULL-MOON DAY OF THE MONTH OF VAESHÁKHA”.
The advent of Bábá, Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrti, is Ávirbháva epoch event that is called “Annals” that naturally draws individuals towards the Supreme Progenitor. This attraction is not merely a product of external influences but an innate inclination that arises from the very fabric of eternal relationship towards that Cosmological Nucleus, PURUŚOTTAMA.
As the Supreme Father, Bábá’s presence resonates deeply within every being, awakening a sense of familiarity and longing.
A Birthright Connection for those born into Ananda Margii families & Whole Timers, this connection is especially non-subjective. From a young age, they are imbued with the teachings and vibrations of Bábá’s divine presence. As a result, their attraction to the Bábá is not just a philosophical concept but a lived experience, woven into the very essence of their being.
The Role of Grace however, realizing Bábá’s true nature and the significance of His advent requires His grace for non-margiis. It is through His Supreme benevolence that individuals can transcend the limitations of their mundane existence and glimpse the all manifestative divine reality that underlies all creation. As Bábá’s grace illuminates their longing or quenching hearts, they come to understand the profound implications of His advent and the role it plays in their lives.
Here is the Bábá’s own discourse reveals the fact, please go through and continue.
“Where there is no cause, there cannot be any effect”, and it was he(Maharśi Kańáda) who established the fact. Everything in this Universe of ours is causal.
- Now, here we are. Say a few years ago, none of you knew that Bábá is on this Earth. None of you knew that Bábá loves you. But Bábá was there, and Bábá loved you, though you were not acquainted with Bábá.
Is it not the fact? And I think, now some of you feel that Bábá loves you, at least a little.
Don’t I love you a wee bit? (Bábá makes a pinch measure with His fingers).
And I also realize that you love Me very much. (Bábá makes a grand measure with his arms spread wide). You do not know, but it may or may not be a fact.
Rather, it may be a fact that I knew you. Nothing is non-causal in the Universe.
You came in close contact with Me, I came in close contact with you. This is also not non-causal. Certainly there is some cause behind this actual happening.
The cause may or may not be known to you. There are so many people in this world.
Why did you, boys and girls, come in close contact with Me, but not others? Certainly there is some cause.
And perhaps this cause or seed germinated in long past, say, 5000 or 10,000 years ago.
The seed was there and it germinated, and finally, when its sprout was out, you came in contact with Me.
What is sprout?
The white portion of the tree that first comes out of the seed.
So, when nothing is non-causal, your coming in close contact with Me is also not non-causal.
There is some cause, you do not know.
It may be that in holy past you were also in close contact with Me. It may or may not be on this Earth, on this planet.
It may be on some other planet that you were known to Me. It may be that on that planet, we sat like this and decided that, “Let us go to that small planet known as Earth, and there we may do some work.”
And, just to fulfil the pledge of ours, we have come here. So nothing is non-causal.
A Journey of Self-Discovery as individuals after Tantrika Diiksa (in Ananda Marga) embark on this journey of self-discovery, they begin to recognize the intricate web of relationships that binds them to the Supreme Guru. They realize that their existence is not a coincidence but a deliberate manifestation of Bábá’s divine will. This understanding fosters a deep sense of gratitude, devotion, and surrender, drawing them closer to Bábá.
In Bábá’s words, So, the initiation of a revolutionary change is not the work of a sadvipra, but the work of a Mahásadvipra. Mahásadvipra is the philosophical term; in the scriptures it is called “Táraka Brahma”.
Bábá’s “Táraka Brahma” advent is a powerful causal representative of His for spiritual growth and self-realization. It awakens individuals to their inherent
connection with the Mahásambhúti and inspires them to embark on a journey of discovery and devotion. As they surrender to His grace, they come to understand the profound significance of His advent and the role it plays in their lives, ultimately leading them to a deeper understanding of themselves and their place in the universe.
If born here in this planet, and not to know about Bábá Mahásambhúti and not to follow even after knowing, as if he/she is born in a non-margii family, as their reactive momenta is not in co-ordination with Bábá’s waves of following Dharma, for certain period and later due to Bábá’s grace, if arranges and brings in His contact, that means their life as found a true friend and embrace true friends path for life time ever then becomes their Adarsha and IśtFa.
In the clear language of Bábá below:
“Eka eva suhrd dharma nidhane api anuyati yah”
Dharma is the only suhrd, that remains with you even after your nidhan(death) even after your death.
When a man dies what does happen, his friends carry him up to the cremation ground; and after burning your body when it is rendered to ashes; what do they do; they spray some water on the ashes of your funeral pyre; and go back to their house; till they are within the cordon of the cremation ground; they remember you and after that they forget you; But this dharma – dharma remains with you and what you did to this world for dharma is never forgotten by dharma;
In the worldly life, you are to strengthen your dharma, you are to strengthen the hands of your dharma; and in the other world dharma strengthens your position. Eka eva suhrd dharma nidhane api anuyati yah – Only Suhrd, the true friend is Dharma and your Dharma Guru is your real friend for this life and even after life. So, you have to follow only one Dharma Guru – Bábá.
The Enduring Legacy of Bábá’s Dharma is Ananda Marga, that Bábá’s benevolence has bestowed upon us the invaluable gift of His Ananda Marga, a comprehensive philosophy that guides us in our pursuit of self-realization and service to humanity.
Through His Organization, we have been afforded the opportunity to engage in Seva, selfless service, which enables us to contribute to the holistic development of individuals and societies worldwide.
A Lasting Impact of Bábá’s MAHÁKAOLA guidance and unconditional love have profoundly impacted each of us as His devotees. MAHÁKAOLA teachings have instilled in us a sense of purpose and responsibility, inspiring us to strive for the betterment of humanity. The memories of His divine presence in our lives will forever be inscribed in our hearts, serving as a constant reminder of our duty to perpetuate His Ananda Marga mission.
An Unshakable Commitment as we reflect on the profound influence of Bábá’s divine Marga, we are reminded of our unbendable commitment to His cause. We aspire to continue rendering Seva, driven by the conviction that our efforts will contribute to the all-round development of humanity.
May Bábá’s Supreme Love and guidance remain an integral part of our lives, illuminating our path as we strive to fulfil His visual modality for a more
compassionate and enlightened world.
An Eternal Bond in the depths of our hearts, we acknowledge the eternal bond that unites us with Bábá. His divine presence has transcended the boundaries of time and space, and we are confident that His Personified love and guidance will continue to inspire us throughout our lives and beyond.
May this sacred bond remain unbroken, as we endeavour to honour Bábá’s ÁNANDA PÚRŃIMÁ legacy and further His Ananda Marga mission throughout the Universe to create the blue print of Mahávishva.
