Some
experiences and teachings of Baba, Shrii Srii Anandamurti (1921-90)
Baba
didn't want the public to know who He
was, only those whom He
had obviously chosen amongst the spiritual minded people, came in
contact with Him.
Only those could recognise His
divinity.
Baba
was
often joking
Once
Baba
gave a punishment to twenty Dadas
(yoga
monks).
They had to climb up and down trees all day along, like monkeys.
Margiis (family
members) were
watching without knowing what was going on, while Dadas happily were
enjoying the event.
Baba
used to give Prabhat Samgiit songs
even
while
He
was in
bathroom. Once He
went to a car trip with
his driver.
VSS guard's car was left behind, so there was nobody to learn to sing
the song
that
Baba wanted to give. He
said
I can’t go on keeping the song inside me anymore. Should I stop
giving Prabhat Samgiit?
Baba
was sleeping with His
eye glasses
on.
Dada thought
that probably Baba had forgotten them, so
he took
the glasses away. When
Baba
woke up and He
asked;
“why did you take my glasses away? I had dreams, but I couldn’t
see without glasses”.
For
few
days the
acaryas had to report constantly
about
different
things.
Only
late
night they got permission to leave to
their residence.
At five in the morning they did meditation, and
asanas,
took bath, ate breakfast and went to Baba’s quarters before 10 AM.
One Dada asked Baba; “How we can do any
work, because all day we are here and then we have to sleep some
hours and wake up for meditation at five, take bath and eat in our
quarters?” Baba answered: “He is not thinking of me, how can I
live until 10 AM without you!”
Some advises from Baba
If
you are successful in rendering selfless service to the
world, certainly you will make progress in your own spiritual life.
With your spiritual force, with your intellectual force, with your
physical force, you are to render selfless service to suffering
humanity.
Baba
was not happy with those practising meditation in the Himalayan caves
without rendering any service to the human society. Their plea that
the world is unreal and simply taking food and drink from fellow
human beings – those days should be gone forever.
Once
Dada Keshavananda
found Baba sleeping on the doorway.
He
asked Baba why He was sleeping there. Baba told that one should sleep
sometimes on the place where people are passing, because it keeps the
ego down, lying
on doorway makes humble like grass.
Baba
stated,
that depression is common
in intellectual societies, where people often try to suppress others.
Due to this type of defective psychology, a vast section of the
populace suffers from psychic depression. On the other hand,
depressed people often concentrate too much on themselves, and then
the best
medicine is to start helping others.
How
to overcome jealousy
and have magnanimity of mind?
Someone gives you and your friend each a mango. Your friend's mango
turns out to be sweet, but yours turns out to be bad. Instead of
reacting selfishly, you should be happy that your friend got the
sweet one.
A
D lost all his devotional flow,
and could hardly concentrate although was meditating regularly. He
decided to see Baba and get some advice. When he got chance to meet
Baba, A D
said, "Baba, I have lost everything. I have no devotion, I have
no love for You."
With a sweet smile Baba said, "I
have never asked you to love me. Merge yourself in my Mission, You
will get everything back." A D decided to dedicate his whole
life for service and went for acarya training to become a monk.
Baba
was asked why intellectuals
don't
come to Ananda Marga - only simple people. Baba said that it takes
him 10 minutes to explain things to simple devotees, but 10 hours to
explain to intellectuals.
When
I came in front of Baba,
He looked at me severely, like scanning my entire body. Then He
asked, 'What asanas do you do?" I listed about eight different
asanas that I was practising at the time. Baba responded: "That
is the problem. Too many asanas, a healthy person should only do 4-6
asanas. Only if a person is a sick, they should do more."

Some
Baba’s predictions
Baba
says that energy
alone can’t create matter.
Energy
together with Microvita creates matter. When Microvita increase, it
becomes matter and if energy increases, it becomes abstract.
Microvita is the science of future.
While
visiting Venezuela in 1979 Baba
said;
“Venezuela needs good spiritual political leaders. If Venezuela can
produce spiritual political leaders, it will not only be the leader
of Latin America, it will also be the leader of the planet. Venezuela
is a blessed country.”
Some
people say that war brings progress,
because it speeds up the discovery of new inventions, but by working
together in a nice way many more inventions will be made and even
faster. You should see that there is no more wars in the future,”
Baba in Fiesch 1979.
China
will have
food shortages (is
already having) and one
day attack India. Pakistan will attack
Kashmir
and support China. Then the Indian military will stop Chinese
with the help of Russia and US. Ananda Marga will play a great role
at the time of this war. India will become exemplary
nation in the future, guided by spiritual leaders. Here
about food shortages, a bit scary though,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knRWf3SKYgw
When
there will be huge calamities in the future,
then the sight of orange uniform is searched. Pole
shift has already started to happen, due
to
change in the movement of galaxies, which is
affecting this solar system. In Philippines a lot of gold will be
found, and oil in Thailand.
Baba
explained, that because communism
was a matter-centred philosophy it had to die first. Then the
self-centred philosophy capitalism will be
gone.
Eventually the bell will ring for the dogma-centred philosophies,
religions.
Baba’s
socio-economic
theory,
Prout,
has
been established already
in
48:lla
different planets in our galaxy.
The earth will become the 49 th Proutist society. Baba’s
faith in PROUT was so strong, that He
once demonstrated it to a doubtful visitor, without any words, by
throwing a glass out of window. The visitor heard some odd sound, but
couldn’t understand what happened. Only when he went outside –
and saw the unbroken glass on the broken rock – he realized, PROUT
is more strong than any opposing forces.
Baba
spoke also about universalism and cosmic brotherhood.
He said that humanity is not yet ready to join more advanced cosmic
brotherhood until we have world government, global legislation and
basic necessities provided for everyone.
With
the progress of science it
may be possible to send only a person’s brain to London, keeping
their body here at Gorakhpur. There would be no need to transport the
body to London. Although this sounds like a fairy tale, this will
surely happen in
the future.
Baba
said once: ”I'm busy to talk lots of things,
because everything what I say, stays in the universe and people can
learn in the future. So be careful what you speak. In the future the
highly elevated human beings are able to listen everything what you
have said.”
Here
one example of elevated people;
Dada Savitananda was
in very deep meditation while he left his body and went straight to
some unknown planet. Several million ‘people’
lived on that planet. They were knowing each others thoughts. They
seem to have only one object in their mind; to realize Parama Purusa.
Dada learnt kiirtan tune from them.
History
According
Baba,
“Some
people are of the opinion that the people of ancient times used to
address as deva those beings who had arrived from other planets. The
truth of their opinion should be carefully verified”.
The
basic reason for evolution is human dharma;
humans are longing knowingly or unknowingly to become one with the
Cosmic Consciousness. Humans advance physically, mentally, and now
more and more also spiritually. Due
to collective longing also
for
physical objects, a group of living beings may cause a change in
their physical structures over time.
The
evolutionary change in this universe
occurs in two different patterns: One way is a gradual evolution.
Different species develop according circumstances and common desires.
Another
way for the evolution of species to happen
is a sudden, rapid change. That is how first human being was suddenly
born from Australopithecine million years ago.
Vivekananda's
next life was Acarya Copen Mukherjii.
He was working in Baba's mission. He lived in Behala, Calcutta. He
was upper division clerk in customs department
in Patna. He used to fall in extacy in Baba's presence.
In that state he used to utter: I am Vivekananda.
Varanasi
is the oldest city in the world.
It was also the winter capital of Shiva. Summer time he stayed in
Himalayas (but not in Mount Kailas as it is commonly believed).
Krishna spent most of his time in Rajasthan.
The
nostrils of people in hot countries are comparatively
large and the front of the nose is extended. External heat makes the
internal air heated and the internal heat tries to force its way out
rapidly. As a result of the rapid exhalation of heavy, hot air, the
diameter of the front portion of the nose increased.
People
who live in cold countries
develop fatty tissues in their bodies. And though their noses are
high, their nostrils are comparatively small, because if a large
amount of chill air would
enter
the body, it would
inevitably affect the lungs and vocal cord.
In
ancient past humans
used
to have an appendix
for
accumulating excess food and ruminating it, because there was
uncertainty of getting food daily.
The
treatment by hypnotic spell,
people say, was started by Dr. Mesmer of France (called
mesmerism).
But prior this system was known to Indians as
“raksasii
vidya.” Doctor,
Karkatii Raksasii was very famous for her hypnotic
treatment.
Atlantis
was a very vast continent,
connected with Iberia. Due to a very big earthquake Atlantis
disappeared. The
Bay of Basque (Bay of Biscay) was originally a part of Atlantis,
that’s why it is so shallow. Scandinavia
was
interconnected with Atlantean culture.
The
Indian people look
upon each and every thought and deed as part of their spiritual
practice. The reason is that in ancient India, children from the age
of 5
to 25
received extensive
spiritual
training in gurukula centers. Eventually
when
they retired they concentrated as
well on
spirituality
in
forest caves. Then the British introduced their
own system
of education, which has
hampered
in some ways the spiritual side.
Gandhi
had on his wall pictures of monkeys
with
covered eyes, mouth and ears, and he used to teach through those
monkeys the non-violence philosophy; not to speak, or hear, to be
blind. Baba had said that in his next life Gandhi would
become a monkey in African jungle! (Interestingly
in one video channeled Gandhi states about his future incarnation on
earth: “My role on the Earth will be the same as who I was. It will
be between animal and man!!!”

The
diamond which is known as kohinur
[Koh-i-Noor] is
from
Shrii Krsna’s jewelled necklace. Eventually
the East India Company got
it and set
in the British Royal Crown.
So
long as the scientific progress of Egypt and Greece
did not supersede civilization, it
prospered very well. But when the ingredients of enjoyment grew up in
abundance, the civilization of both countries got destroyed, because
science had occupied a higher position than civilization.
At
one time in America a fierce war was raging.
Many
of the soldiers were Spanish-speaking and were not able to understand
English. In order to send information about how someone was doing
they were told to simply write “all correct”. They used to write
“ol korect” and
after
some time abbreviated it to “O. K.” Now this “O.K.” is used
practically everywhere in the world.
Who
was Baba?
Jagadiish
from Netherlands had personal contact with Baba,
which was overwhelming experience for him. When he left Baba's room
in altered state, one Dada asked him to look at his face in a mirror.
He looked and was surprised to see that his face was shining.
One
brother from Brasil took flight from India to Bahrain
and missed the connecting flight to Brasil. He heard that
he had to wait one week for a new flight. He was angry, thinking
why
Baba
was not helping. Suddenly the officials
of the flight company came
to
tell
that the flight would
come
back due to technical problems. The brother felt Baba's presence
and understood Baba arranged the flight back for him. The technicians
didn't find any problem from the plane, so the flight took soon off
again to Brasil.
Narada
Muni was
behind Baba
on
His
'field
walk' in Calcutta.
Narada
tells, “I saw how Every
time when Baba walked under a tree, it would come alive with birds
singing, but immediately became silent once He passed the tree. This
was despite a long line of us brothers following behind Him under the
same trees!
Another time, while sitting near Baba in Tiljala, I looked down below to a pond. To my amazement the pond was full of fish looking upwards towards Baba! When Baba had left, I passed by the same pond, there were no fish to be seen. Humans were not the only ones attracted to Baba!

Swami
Rama asked Dada to give him some workers
to supervise his hospital construction, because he had
seen that
margies and dadas were reliable and hard working. He also told that
he had many Baba’s books and was teaching those things to his
disciples. Dada asked Swami why didn’t he then come close to Baba?
Swami answered: “This kind of spiritual master selects his own
team. I have been assigned to do other tasks, but I love Him very
dearly”. Then he became sad, ”You
in AM are fortunate, as you can work with Baba”.
Cakreshvara
was a muslim who was in contact with well known
Sufi master in Turkey. After some time Cakreshvara met Ananda Marga
acarya and got initiation. Then he took off to India in order to meet
Baba. He didn’t speak English, and was annoyed by the chaotic
situation he saw there. He returned to Turkey and showed Baba’s
photo to his Sufi master, who commented, "This is the real
master." Cakreshvara: "But He has all these crazy monks and
nuns around Him. How can He be The master? He even behaves strange
way."
Sufi Saint: "He
has the ability to transform them into great souls. His teachings
will influence all aspects of life. He will only permit those He
chooses to know Him. He has come silently and will leave silently.
Humanity will recognise His greatness only long after He is gone”.
Cakreshvara:
”How to know Him?” Sufi Saint: ”If
one understands divine love one can know Him”. Cakreshvara got so
inspired that he went to become a Dada.
One
day in 1941 Rameshvar
was passing young people playing cards and an old man,
whom people believed to be mad, sitting on veranda. The madman
laughed loudly and said; “How foolish the people of Jamalpur are.
Lord has come on the planet in the very town of Jamalpur... The
foolish people of Jamalpur don't even try to know Him. They are
wasting their time in useless things like playing cards. How foolish
they are and they call me mad."
About
10 years later Rameshvar was initiated by Baba. When he came to know
the actual personality of Baba, he realized that the madman had
actually
been an
evolved yogi, who had come to know the divinity of Baba. Nobody knew
who the yogi was, and where he had gone already.
He
who illumines the external world,
illumines all the stars and planets also. Besides Supreme
Consciousness, no other entity has light of its own. The light of all
other entities is the mere reflection of His effulgence. Compared to
that supreme source of effulgence, even the sun is enveloped in
darkness – the shining face of the moon is covered with a black
veil. All are lighted with His light; with His radiance, and in His
effulgence all others become blessed.
You
are never alone and helpless – the force that guides the stars
guides you too.
