Rhetoric Speech Is Allowed in Some Situations, Not All of Them
Insider Kriya Talk
Can anyone become a kriya initiate without agreeing to master statements on such as karma, evolution and reincarnation? Can one be critical and discerning and still make it as a kriya disciple inside the big Yogananda tradition in the West?A strong question may need simplified answers. The way to discern things here is to look at the allegedly best sources at hand. Yukteswar once strolled about and reflected a lot.
That day he was told by the avatar they say is in charge of Esthete Garden [Pa 501]
THUS, unless masters are feigning greatly, intelligent men of the West - including fine folks from the USA - can hope to learn yogic SCIENCE."For the faults of the many, judge not the whole ... of mixed character ... Many (Indian) sadhus ... wander in delusion".
Yukteswar: "I have been thinking of the leading scientific men of the West ... They ... could benefit greatly by meetings with India's masters. But"
"I saw that you are interested in the West" ... Babaji's face beamed with approval. "I summoned you here [etc]." [Ha 332-3] [And the story is also here: LINK]
Let us make a point of it: In general science, belief is to be treated and at least served as a working hypothesis or a bundle of such items.
So do not always ask what someone believes, but what he or she can present with scientific clarity, accuracy and plausibility. Or, better still: "Do not ask what you can do for reincarnation theory, but what it can do for you." (Compare John Kennedy's sayings about what to do for you and America)
Once on a Time -
ONCE on a time ... Have you noticed how easy it can be to learn a lesson fit for
life itself, by big looks and not sticking to a tense mood all along? The initial phrase
"once on a time" is neatly linked to the Arab kan ma kan, which can have two
meanings: "What was, was -" and "There was, there wasn't -""Once on a time there was a peacock that duped North Americans in throngs -" This rhetoric figure of speech - "once on a time -" is definitely suggestive, opens up surreal possibilities to come. It can evoke a sort of partnership intensity as well.
The story-teller's tale can be turned into a fantastic story, or it may be a fit occasion to suggest how to tackle imponderables. It can be done by the skilfully worked on mental figures that slowly evolve into handling standards, once someone dives into the motifs or standards actualised. All this is much of what a fairy-tale-skilled Dane, Preben Ramlov, sets in front of us. [Dao 167-8]
We do well in studying the fruits of lots of good men - also those of Don Peyote, to
the degree he exists outside tale after tale.
"Look to the fruits of the man" - Jesus indicated such an anti-authoritarian
approach in his day, and so should all of us as soon as we can, even if surrounded by cacti
and thistles, and ignoring or debasing brilliant outlooks of the genius John Calvin
(1509-64) for the sake of hearsay and indulging whims and narcissistic desires. Calvin
taught in his day that all men (in his day) were fallen, not only wounded but altogether
unable to rise again except through God's intervention.
The confidence that the pagan and, to an extent, the Humanist had in being able to lift themselves by education alone, Calvin could only look upon as vain conceit and pride. ... Calvin saw no hope in in religious and moral instruction" unless God's mercy was behind it. [Cf. Rik 311]Calvin set faith above reason and also insisted that some were predestined to be lost [beware of guru-fad idolatry there]. Calvinism had an immense influence in the New Land. Calvinism formed the background of the Puritans that built colonial America and their educational theory and heritage. They set up schools after schools. The outstanding Puritan preacher J. Edwards in New England was kindly disposed toward US children, but referred to them as "young vipers and infinitely more hateful than vipers to God". Just be careful with who you associate with. Yes, there you have it. [Rik 312]
Some Points
A long time after that an Indian peacock with a splendid tail saw its chance. The peacock took North Americans in and asserted like a human:- Tedious self-help yoga, or master penanace, under "Don Open" would lead us to God inside, and that his "airplane route" was just as sure as mathematics. It is not, he later said, because this particular mathematics did not work too well.
- To "find God" in his terminology, was to make oneself into a very-aware item - it could really be Pan in its dominant meaning - and minding oneself as All-God, not only God's equal: The said Old Nick of Christianity tried that more modest approach - didn't he? Old Nick could be figurative, or contain figurative elements. There are lots of reasons to assume that.
- Yogananda taught Christ was a common title - fit for at least a dozen Indians or so - so Jesus was not the only Christ. This particular outlook rests on not looking into the Gospels and not reading the words of Jesus against false Christs and such things. [Cf. Matthew 24;23-26] Well, you have been warned: they come in the name of Christ, preach quack Christianity and lead not a few astray.
- The organisation Yogananda set up before he passed away in 1952, is now headed by nuns, lots of nuns. They should hardly be battered by being called peacock hens too often in the vein of Jesus who often took to similar figurative talking, but compare Matthew 7 about a Biblical way of speaking through parables, metaphors, maybe similies and other articulative measures.
- Yogananda's organization is registered as a church. It may be called an American cult or sect. Some think it is fit over there. The church members constitute the hard core of the organisation. And among the church members some are monastics. They "run the business" for a large part To become a member you have to swear (against a word of Jesus against swearing) a very severe oath of devotion and loyalty to unmet gurus. Parts of the SRF activities may be listed under what the Bible calls "led astray", we think. [Cf. Pa 501]
Let me tell you about birds and trees, many animals that we have to accommodate to where we are, and little else. Cattle may not wilfully enter a bramble thicket, nor should you. But a look from outside may be OK. it may not seem so grave from the outside that Hindu swamis and gurus are described as Yogi-Christs or better - almighty, all-knowing - at least five, but none or few of them may be able to talk correctly and true to facts where facts counts. If great idolators bring genunine Christianity, they have done away with many parts of what constitutes general Christianity of today: Baptism, sacraments, apostolic succession, talking in tongues, and much that the apostle Paul established for the regular services. So think twice and look before you leap so as to try to remain on the safe side.
Perhaps the Christianity of the Guru Farm (enterprise) is not really Christianity, but an alternative fishing ministry. Just be aware that bad cults can maim. They can also kill higher conscience. There is some reason to shun such things.
False Christs are talked of as hungry, murderous wolves that are too fond of sheep - by Jesus. Dangerous, then, for the unlucky ones they find. This perspective of "original Christianity as taught by Jesus Christ" is not the same as Paramahansa Yogananda operates on top of. But still he talks of uniting "original Christianity as taught by Jesus Christ" and original yoga as taught by Krishna.
The hungry bear said,
"All animals are hungry. Lucky is the one who does not hunger. Be not a hungry wolf, then. It stands to reason, unless a hungry wolf is what you are. Be no damned hypocrite condemned by the gospel's one and only Gud-Christ. You can expect tricks from those that are strong enough to feign all-powerful and eager to help other nations before they help their own."
Minstrel Acts
Wisdom in a New Light
RELEVANT top wisdom knows that more than tall trees need deep roots. Deep roots
preserve liberty and hinder that youngsters get maimed or misled into non-conform ways by
big words. Assert this perhaps liberating:"Pretty woman that marries a great syndicate manager and ruins his bank account on top of that, could go for the good of others by living out this:
"If in love, do not press subjugation maladies on to the dear one. Wheat needs a meter or so to stand on top of to bring us useful nourishment. Let those who can grow us great wisdom, get more space than that needed for a coffin, and they can afford more.
No Bad Habits? Alas or Better (It Depends).
Assert the liberating: "My
simple purpose is not to maim on a world-wide scale."
 |
| The day "El condor pasa" warms up foolish master submission it is time to stop. |
It aims at presenting handy information with blunt simplicity - that sort of tact. Faltering steps have to be taken by many of us against very many sorts of (a) fattened cliques or (b) big-boss-ridden assemblies, or (c) outright narcissistic cults that really worthwhile persons perhaps had better shun like the bear on the war-path ... I am against plotting and find the delicate song "El condor pasa" to have a tune or ring to it that is to the purpose. From the lyrics:
"I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail.We will now look a bit into the fictitious sect "Non-related Hybrid Friends". There is nothing like it in nature, not even among elephants. The initials BF in SRF suggests a bit here, and also Synssvakas Riksförbund (SRF) of Sweden. It is a genuine society for lots of people with poor eyesight. In fact, half of the population over 40 or 50 needs eye-glasses. If the term is lifted somewhat, we arrive at a metaphor: STANDARD SRF. On Internet the GBF we talk of, can also represent the by-master-ponderous Giant Esthete Garden inside the world-wide SRF; and a lot of idol-fixated "Hare Krishna movements". The question is if they lift us up. I do not think so.
Yes I would.
I'd rather be a hammer than a nail
I'd rather sail away like a swan
If I could.
Yes, I would."
What about the initials BB? All lovers of Brigitte Bardot may hum in recognition at once, but let us disappoint some of them at once. The meaning is Bramble Bushes - the innermost core of the bramble farm. And BB is hardly much into sex outlets or carefully arranged close-ups that often suggests a beautiful breast or three - How hard it may be to get out of an initial three-breasts fixations later. Better warm up good eye-sight from the start - metaphorical wolves are also for that, and maybe sour irony at its best:
"Hare Krishna was a winner from Sweden under the Arctic Circle.Is not one unverified avatar origin just as good for you as the others? (1)
If you refuse that, why say yes to any other big claim in the overgrown Krishna-master monkey business?"
"If I do not love to press submission
maladies on others and make them creeps, must I rot or beg?"
TALL TREES need deep roots. Maybe tall masters need their sheepish disciples to get
deep down into all sorts of badness, like roots. Lots of nasty experiences can bring out
rather useful lessons and lesions; good insights could be what some hard, malady-giving yoga
avatars "up there" go after. (3)
Catch it: "It may pay to go contrary
to plotting guys and their fabricated evidence, but much sooner than me."
 |
| Getting Krishna-fixated after a good shave - nothing better to do? |
A CONQUERING, masquerading or snub Demolition Society seems to be wading
impertinently along by lore, very often contrary to the good of its members, at times
alarmingly opposed to good and fair yoga. That can give deep problems. Narcissist Führer
fiends may be at the bottom of it all. The point of it all: You do not have to believe all
sorts of hard-headed narcissists are really Christian; and do not have to believe them;
perhaps it is better start from bottom with as little ado as possible. (5)
But wait; there are often fine things to say about a lot of seemingly bad things as
well. Why not start with the credo "Judge not"? You can then "invent" many all right things
to say for a bear cave focused society too. I speak up for better noice-isolation in urban
settings at last. (9) (#1.1)
Terrible Coaching: "Be a Wicked Clown Yourself"
Plotting on your own in the established tracks that seem to work well with gullible North Americans
Synopsis poetry
Idealise non-carnal love and get on top of that,
on top of cloister bunnies,
you can have your way and win acclaim.
The peacock we talk about did.
You could be a lot like him and end up with your swimming-pool as well.
PREGNANT, European wisdom is not much thought of "on the other side of the
pond".Love-making love produced most sullen avatars and nuns
more often than not.
The term "divine" stands up as a sort of idealised extension after infant love towards his biological-looking parent.
IT SEEMS that SRF is lorded over by salty females tht play they know better than
Paul, siding with woman's liberation and all that -Was it to humiliate the decrees of the Christianity of the Acts and letters in the name of Jesus and Hare Krishna on a sea of gold?
There is too little understanding of Hare Krishna as the fable monster of death, Makara, and of fraud. (See Bg 10:31-37
An enigmatic outlook could be rooted in system analysis in the first place.
Women are thought highly of till their breasts reach the navel -
then romantic acclaim of big breasts finds young, lustful targets,
What is changeless, hardly lives.
Life is marked by flux and elves -
One said,
"Four thousand pounds of lead be tied to the tongue of frequently misleading grass-snake
that is worshipped and idolised a lot inside SRF:
Neither repress nor forget the wicked cackling -
Think if gasping and panting helps "life off"?
Better be a little elf or clown than a devil, if you cannot be a man."
The forecast of the grass snake is held up as the most inspiring one inside Giant
Esthete Garden,
At times it may be fit to believe in,
bizarre slapsticks can take on many new forms.
Some pave their ways into art, such as that of Ezra Pound.
He did not try to be endearing.
"Sta fermo" he once wrote in a very good canto -
Get rid of the soap helper the day you can.
Chagrin is next, if you do not listen much and speak little of the finest things you
know. [Cf. Ap 379]
NOTE: Loss of parent love is the "ugly" thing soap saviours play on or deride more or less
whiningly. Find this facet of the art of saviourism amply documented in Yogananda's
bestseller. [Pa]
Summary
Stay as classy as you can. Here are more facets of the long neglected art.- ASSERT WHAT IS SURELY LIBERATING: "Be a wicked clown yourself to offend and maim abusers on a world-wide scale. Play on love, on deep motives like pretty women that marry first-class, solvent magnates and ruin lots of them, instead of taking to humming "El condor pasa", my friend. As for idol-fixated movements, the tricky question is whether or how far they lift us up. And is not one unverified avatar origin just as good for you as the others?"
- IF IN LOVE, DO NOT PRESS SUBJUGATION MALADIES on top of the dear one. Pregnant, European wisdom knows that more than tall trees need deep roots. Deep roots preserve liberty and hinder that youngsters get duped by big words or canonical, ritual braying. Wheat needs a meter or so to stand on top of. Lots of nasty experiences can bring out rather useful lessons.
- IT COULD PAY TO GO CONTRARY TO PLOTTING OR SCHEMERS, NO MATTER HOW THEY BRAY. Ask for solid evidence, and that comes first. For the lack of sound measures some get lorded over by women in the name of Jesus Christ and ritually worship Hare Krishna, "the death shark", believe it or not. Now, there are often fine things to say about a lot of seemingly bad things too, such as "Some need shelter, and Mrs. Changeless hardly lives. Where should cattle be unless given shelter and kept like robots now: Where should stultified cult members go if they cannot live like men and women?"
- IT COULD PAY TO STAY AWAY FROM THE BESTSELLER SNARE AND SPECIALISE AS NEEDS TELL US. Quality books have a more limited scope. A US bestseller "up in the air" happens to reveal and mirror the tastes of many. So we might suspect little solid worth from master writings unless they are for self-help, handiword and "home-craft" - things like that. [Pa]
Good to Know
THE US PHILOSOPHER and educator Irwin Edman (1896-1954) was a professor at Columbia
University that had absentmindedness as his trademark. It was the source of much humour at
the place. One day he stopped a student on Riverside Drive and asked,"Pardon me, am I walking north or south?"
The student said, "North."
"Ah," replied Edman, "then I have had my lunch."
Fantastic Stories Can Still Be Okay
"If you read stories that make fun of mackerel and holy avatars, or make you see
much better than they manage, is not that fantastic?" (#2.1)
THE GERMAN COMPOSER and musical theorist Paul Hindemith (1895-1963) was once
conducting a rehearsal of one of his more dissonant orchestral compositions. At one point,
he rapped his baton and said,"No, no, gentlemen; even though it sounds wrong, it is still not right."
"Much Depends on the Man You Meet and What He Thinks of you."
The one we call Yogananda, and not master Greatest-swan in step with the apocryphal "Birds will be birds, but pigs are more like men" - was born a Capricorn in Capricorn country, that is India. He entered a well-to-do Indian family that travelled much. That is what they say. US Martin Schulman has studied his horoscope and the conclusion is nearly this:"Negative - in common cases it would have spelled negative. [Cf. Kar].
It pays to say: "Well, well, I am not my horoscope either."
The truth: Peacock survived his childhood against nature, and Great Nature is the divine mother according to his "easy reader philosophy". He was also helped a lot by many friends. Without interventions in the face of cholera death and such as strong Himalayan runaway drives, he had never grown up to get helped through youth. He used astrological "gags" such as a lead bangle in order to trick the universe into co-operate more and better - believe it or not. These things are known and found in his own autobiography. It has many chapters. [LINK].
In 1910, at the age of 17, he met and became a disciple of the revered grass-snake and his strict dog-beater discipline. In the end this soothed his stubborn, marring attempts to escape to mountain caves in offhand, seemingly ungrasped admiration of bears. After he graduated from Calcutta as a BA, he disregarded his own father's long-standing desire to have him married once or twice. He even took formal vows as a celibacy-guy of the All-India's monkish order. During that incident he received the name "Bliss of yoga". That bliss is portrayed as a giant snake to be found inside many forms of mythology. Later the master in coming was given a bird title as well. He felt for it. It was back in 1936-37, the decade when both-and-logic came to stay and hold sway in quantum physics. Here comes the alternate findings:
Honour your mother and father well before you honour a bird in the heathen way, my friend. He was no small freak that thus found odd fulfilment.
Once, almost 80 years ago, Yogananda we talk about, was invited to serve as India's delegate to an international congress of religious leaders in the USA. The book The Science of Religion, by the yoga adept came out of it. And his sermons were telepathically aided, he confides in the autobiography. Guided, guided - because he did not master it all himself, then -
In 1920 he founded a bramble farm (SRF) to disseminate world-wide his teachings. If the Indian peacock has got it right when he decrees the universe is illusion, he could have played "Oomph, oomph" on tuba instead. However, he lectured and taught on the East coast and in 1924 embarked on a cross-continental speaking tour. Next, in 1925, he established an international headquarters for his world-wide Farm enterprise by complain-begging money enough from rich people to take over a bankrupt hotel on a little ridge in the outskirts of Los Angeles. It still is. This is described by the "mad monk" as people called him, in the booklet Golden Anniversary Booklet. It is published by SRF.
As it turned out, Yogananda whored against much inside his master's sincere teachings. Perhaps he sold out in animalistic fashion to accommodate to North Americans. He took to the label "God" and liked "the reverse "dog" as much evidenced and forms of "You belong to me, gentlemen, and a lot masters too. The supreme responsibity for any of you is Don Coyote's, not Jesus Christ's, - eh - in whose name I purport to bring "original Christianity of Jesus". You cannot trust that one. [Pa 499, 501]
Let us trust no wicked, marring infiltrator elsewhere either.
What our peacock "guessed" by the term "Glow" or "God", was "inside myself " - something like that. That is the original impact of his phrase Self-Realization, as can be seen.
Indian heritage contains much material on avatars. There is another side to the glorifying, fame-buying or idolising picture he sells out. Let the other side be heard full well. It is part and parcel of scientific training to think in this way. It is counted as needed, and is nothing to be sour of.
Indian heritage contains much more philosophy than Yogananda seemed to digest. It is too outré to claim with one big mouth that the world is illusion, and next portend to mean well. Where I came from, illusions had to be punctured, not to be sold out for greatness status over and over.
I hold that against Yogananda. It is a sham, what he stands for. Think of it: If you give out the basic premise that the universe is illusory - the master does - then it follows (by deductions that cannot be overrun) that:
In short, it goes without saying that Yogananda implies well - over and over, in fact - that neither he, his SRF, his teachings, his kriya, his guidelines and master avatars are unreal. There you have it. Next, Lahiri Mahasaya can be rendered in this way:Yogananda is not real. He is part of the universe with all he is. His guidelines are illusions - some can be called delusory as well. His mother-fixated worship is for taming us - but no real thing. It can be morbid for many other reasons too. It is not Biblical either. It could go without saying. The divine mother is at times called Nature - the world - and hence is not real, then. Still, there are places where Yogananda speaks of the mother as more than visible universes. A bunch of unmet or unsound master fathers to wag for are hardly good - if the universe with all inside It is unreal. Think of that.
No one is holy (93). You belong to no one [Cf. Pa].Find the master's outlooks on Internet. If you can believe this, there are no holy masters in SRF (or SRF). let us face a lot: The teaching of illusory world - and we are in it - brings the idol-and-mom-worshipper Yogananda in an awkward position. He breaks with apparently basic teachings of the master who initiated him in kriya at a tender age, and led him on since. It was Lahiri's teachings he was to make known, kriya and more. He forged a hybrid mishmash from it. We do not know how much harm it has done on the large scale - in over 50 countries at present.
But we do know you have to get kinky from promising to obey kings of yoga (SRF avatars) who tell you belong to them, you belong to none, and that is it. You cannot learn kriya in SRF unless you pledge unlimited devotion and loyalty in this way, against the old master's teaching. The set-up is inconsistent with basic teachings inside the Farm. And the funny farm may be next. Maybe the best is to learn cosmic harding yoga the sooner the better; to speak much and often against oneself is hardly good.
To learn stout kriya by someone who is fair and non-meddling is to get help to complain out of season, year after year. Let that be your secret. Knowledge of these things and how the kriya routine really is, should never be regretted. But much else is needed in life as well - and many soaring guidelines may give you advantages, upper hands. In contrast we have master Yogananda's mishmash lore that hardly fits anywhere, not even in southern California, I concede. The church of Yogananda (SRF) typically represents that hybrid approaCh.
The real purpose of the Jolly Giant Guru Dispensation (JGGD) is to back up fit persons with some good techniques and understanding. Maybe old, decrepit and well situated persons have no particular need for it.
Many Cult Dangers
 |
|
"Christianity teeming with Christs and the idol Krishna wasn't common Christianity where I came from." |
Well, let us say still sunny California is full of lawsuits and other things of life we do not really want, and that not a few cults and sects are headquartered there. Maybe hundreds of cults bluff and scare members into idiots. Maybe they do not. Cults can make folks foot-loose. Some preach one thing and live (act) out something else. Yes, it requires tact to purport to give true, original Christianity - with its no to foreign gods, idols and any other master than Jesus alone - while worshipping idols like Krishna and a bunch of avatars in public.
That is going far. The question is how far it is fair or decent. The New Testament is against leading little ones astray.
The word cult originally meant any group based on common belief. It has now become synonymous with dangerous beliefs that may steer herds into rigor mortis in disasters or massacres. Not all cults are that bad.
Donald on the floor:
"Hundreds, maybe hundreds in SRF do not need dissolved egohood - like
myself."
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real . . .
There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's right I'm torn
- From Nathalia Imbruglia: Torn
In some massacres hundreds and hundreds lay dead in the end. Yet there are shades of
grey in between: not all narrow-minded cults are horrible and deadly to all. The leaders may
be well off. Not all British men are arrogant, either. (#2.7)

Miscellaneous
Notes
Good handling ways and skills should be gained free from taming.[1] (a) Our Mumble Goose-egg is a titanic Dane or Norwegian - the Scandinavian avatar loses respect for all authorities, both the king and Old Nick. There is a cosy folktale about him around. (b) Markandeya is the hero of the Hindu book Markandeya Purana. It is a very old book. He lives very irregularly. The book portrays him as the best, above formalised wrong and right at times. This means, in other words, that to become hung up in given ethics can signify "I am outsmarted".
[2] Good books by Dr. Eric Berne - eminent psychiatrist of North America - What do you say after you say hello? (Bantam) and "Games people play (Penguin) should not be ignored when browsing other good TA books, such as the eminent Choosing success by Dorothy Jongeward and Philip Sayer. Dr. Berne's outlook most often help, in my opinion.
[3] Kriyananda (J. Donald Walthers) could be a sort of Yogananda minstrel (not rabid mongrel) still. Internet presents some debates around his flock of devoted Circe swine (herd of followers) - to stay with metaphors had from the Odyssey.
[4] Why live-out-ridicule the basic command: "Adam and Eve, multiply"? It is often far from the future cloister bunny's intent to live up to the historical task and truly honour their parents in such a basic way. There would have been born few cloister hens if their parents did likewise.
[5] SRF, close to Surf. Its founder, Yogananda, "shipwrecked" on the beach by too many "grrreat" waves of expressions to say - and master concepts that could impress, next tame a bit, and in the long run make "cloister slaves" obey. They were not always allowed to be run-aways like himself, back in India. Never promise unconditional loyalty the ant either.
