Ceremonial Observance on the 105th Ávirbháva Day of Shrii Prabhát Raiṋjan Sarkár, Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrti on Ánanda Púrńimá / Vaeshákhii Púrńimá from the year 1921, the full-moon day of the month of Vaeshákha”
“You see that before starting any action, whether physical, psychic or spiritual, you must repeat your Guru Mantra. Mind will be pure and the work will be a success. Sometimes the A-class superiors and the seniors are to bestow blessings upon the juniors. But before blessing anybody, Guru Mantra should be properly uttered. Then only the blessings will be fruitful. By dint of Sádhana, with the help of Ista Mantra and Guru Mantra, an ordinary mortal will become extraordinary. Now the secret lies not with the word but with the idea. (13/01/1970 at Ranchi Jagrti)
Reflection on Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrti whose “Advent as Parama Puruśa, Taraka Brahma, we as Ánanda Márgiis commemorate the 105th birth Advent day of our Beloved Bábá, Shrii Shrii Anandamurti, globally, we reflect on one of His most profound contributions to spiritual Ideology after Sadáshiva and Shrii Krśńa, the distinction and divine relationship between Parama Puruśa, Taraka Brahma in this Mahávishva.
This teaching illuminates both the transcendental nature of the Supreme and His intimate accessibility to every human heart.
The Ultimate Goal of each spiritual aspirant is Parama Puruśa – Bábá who explains that the ultimate object of human life is Parama Puruśa, the Supreme Entity.
Parama Puruśa is absolute, infinite, and beyond all relativity. He exists beyond time, space, and personation.
In His discourses, Bábá makes clear that relative factors cannot be the goal of our ideation like Tempos Eternal – time, Svabhava (Nature), Fate, Accident, Quinquelemental factors, Unit Spirit – the five fundamental factors; none of these, nor alone or in combination, constitute the Causal Matrix.
They are imperfect, transitory, and cannot yield anything concrete or truly adorable.
Only Parama Puruśa, the Non Causal or uncaused and eternal, can fulfill the deepest longing of the individual soul/spirit.
Today the universe has become small… Planning for Mahávishva (The Great Universe) and not Mahábhárata (Great India), is required. The guiding factor behind the creation of the Mahábhárata was dharma – the creation of a great human society in which there would be peace, happiness, fraternity and no poverty…. Today you have to create Mahávishva (The Great Universe), and the guiding principle behind it will be that all human beings are the progeny of the Supreme Progenitor. Hence all are His children, hence all should live together – nay, will have to live together. Black or white, literate or illiterate, small or tall, all are the children of the same Father. Hence all will have to live together. [3 December 1967, Ranchi]
The Radiant Descent of why Parama Puruśa Becomes Taraka Brahma is a basic quest for all elevated beings. Out of infinite compassionateness, Parama Puruśa comes in contact with these relative factors to meet His loving devotees in this gigantic universe.
In doing so, He transcends His impersonal aspect and manifests as Taraka Brahma – the Supreme who is personal, close, and adorable. As Taraka Brahma, He takes birth on this earth and also leaves on specific dates, sanctifying time itself.
So Bábá gives two essential reasons for this Radiant path of descent and one is the Human Heart’s Desire, that is the human heart seeks something sentimental, personal, and pleasing. A distant, abstract God cannot satisfy the devotee’s longing for love. So He comes closer.
The second one is as Mahásadvipra for Guiding Humanity, to help society progress through obstacles, degeneration, and crisis for coming thousand years, as the Supreme Guru takes form to lead, inspire, and liberate.
Thus, Taraka Brahma is the Liberator (Táraka) of the created world – the Bábá of the universe. It is for this reason devotees sing with all their hearts, “Bábá Nám Kevalam” – Only the Name of the Beloved.
Our significance to adore Taraka Brahma in Ánanda Márga and we being His devotees representing as Ánanda Márgii, can be known in following His Ideology; thus Taraka Brahma represents the loving, guiding aspect of the Supreme Cognitive Entity.
The Infinite Eternal Entity makes Himself approachable, so any finite beings can relate and address Him as Supreme Charmer, Supreme Lover, and Supreme Progenitor only through Surrender.
This personal form of Guru fosters an intimate, devotional bond that transforms the seeker’s life. Thus Liberator Taraka Brahma actively guides devotees out of bondage toward spiritual exemption.
Devotional Practices to Connect with Taraka Brahma has manifold path for each individual. Thus Bábá gave practical means to deepen this bond, in many ways which includes through Nam Kiirtan that is dancing with singing “Bábá Nám Kevalam” and other devotional Prabháta Saḿgiita songs that awaken divine love, rendering social movement with Prout, Neo-humanism, Microvita etc., the whole Ánanda Sutram together with all His renditions reflects in His vast Organizational Structure, Social codes of Conduct Rules for each cadre.
To get Liberation from bondage the only most auspicious mandatory practice is Intuitional Cult/ Sadhana/Meditation.
So how it must begotten is through Tantrika Diikśa which teaches Shuddhis which is focusing on the personal, loving aspect of Parama Puruśa as Taraka Brahma.
Through Guru Pujanam you may have to ceaselessly make a never endeavouring effort to offer yourself everything and rely completely to become His instrument and through heartfelt longing and complete surrender to your Iśt́a and another is Sevá (Service) how to do Náráyańa Sevá by serving humanity with the ideation that one in seeing Taraka Brahma in all.
The key is to cultivate love while balancing personal connection with continued spiritual growth. Thus, living Taraka Brahma can be realized by Ideating in Daily Life.
So on Bábá’s 105th birthday, the most fitting tribute is to integrate His teaching into daily rhythms. So start with Nam Kiirtan from Páiṋcajanya time, practising all Caryácarya with vigorous personal lessons following 16 points, and by utilizing every moment to chant while cooking, commuting, relief, duty or working. Through Manana (contemplating), and hearing His Iśt́a Mantra, every Mindful Moments, always pause briefly to feel Taraka Brahma’s loving presence, thus encourage Sevá as karma yoga worship to see Taraka Brahma in everyone you serve including your demerit or anti-ideological beings.
Thorns of the path cannot deter those who have assembled with the determination to march in unison. Those who are blowing the trumpets of victory in an effort to conquer the universe of a timid mind. O man! March ahead – let the song of march be your only slogan. (1st January, 1957)
Pious Intent must be to begin tasks by dedicating the every moment of Jinana, Karma, Bhakti to Him. This presence in Karma, Prema, Sevá, and constant remembrance of Guru Mantra that is Ideating on second lesson.
As world is suffering with overcoming challenges and global crisis with degenerating tendencies, Bábá never taught escapism. To maintain practice amid responsibilities and global turmoil, one must start small: 1–2 minutes of devotion daily is enough to begin. Also Integrate, don’t separate, your work itself let it become your Karma Yoga worship or workshop, when done with ideation.
Be kind to yourself that perfection is not the goal; but sincerity is.
Join Collective Dharma Cakra and Pracar jointly with group endeavours, collective social service, group activities, all means of learning and teaching by conduct, practice yoga asanas, yoga meditations, visualizing peaceful white light spreading from Taraka Brahma to all beings, chanting “Bábá Nám Kevalam”.
WHAT’S THE SOLILOQUY OF THE SUPREME?
HIS Soliloquy from Tantra is:
“Mayyeva sakalaḿ játaḿ
Mayi sarvaḿ pratiśt́hitam,
Mayi sarvam layaḿ yáti
Tad Brahmádvyamasmyaham”.
Now, Everything cometh from Me, Remaineth in Me and Goeth back to Me.
Everything cometh from Me, that is, HE desired that something should be created in HIS mind, there should be a thought-projection, Internal thought projection in HIS mind that I am to create the Universe. The Universe came into being.
HE wanted it.
Why did HE want?
PHILOSOPHERS FAIL TO FIND OUT THE REASON.
WHY DID HE THINK LIKE THIS THAT I WILL CREATE THE UNIVERSE?
Who can know the motive, the Intention of the Supreme; why did HE create?
But HE created.
It is not known to the Philosophers, why such an Idea came in HIS mind to create.
But as I told you a few days back, that where the Philosophers fail, the Bhaktas, the Devotees can do.
Here the Philosophers fail to give the satisfactory reply to others.
Not only that, they fail to get a satisfactory reply for themselves.
But the Devotees can, because they have got deep love, Internal love, Unknown love, Secret love for the Supreme within the core of their heart. [12 September 1978, Patna, INDIA]
In times of poverty, conflict, and soaring prices, Ánanda Márgiis approach remains for inner transformation + service + universal love.
Do organize cultural events, interfaith dialogues, community gardens, and skill-sharing RU/RAWA AMURT/eL, Ek Manava Samaj, Samaj movement, PCAP etc workshops. Address immediate needs while working for long-term, sustainable solutions.
With this our Baba’s Birthday becomes the Living Legacy on this sacred 105th Ánanda Púrńimá Jayantii, we remember that Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrti did not give us mere philosophy, and indeed HE was not a philosopher, some do address Him due to avajiṋá (belittlement of others), but nor HE gave mere cult, in-fact Bábá gave us Taraka Brahma – the Supreme Bandhu who walks with us, suffers with us, and liberates us.
The Causal Matrix is not time, nature, or fate. It is Bábá. And He is not distant. He is the closest, most adorable Entity, guiding humanity through every challenge toward a future of peace, unity, and spiritual realization.
Let our jubilation be this: to sing His name, serve His creation, and see His loving form in all organization structure to render every iota of energy and breath for only Taraka Brahma. Bábá Nám Kevalam.
In HIS Loving Memory,
Ácárya Gatimayánanda Avadhúta
