DFTS-05873 TARAKA BRAHt1A Taraka Brahma is a concept of TantTantra.ra. InIn Tantra the whole creation 1sis known as&8 Sambhuti. When TarTarakaaka Brahma by HIS own will takes the helphelp of of the fivef ive fundamental factorefactors (Paines(Painca Bhuta),Bhuta) 1 HIS physicalphysical entity comes within the seopescope of Saguna Bra�zaBratma (created universeuniverse)) ., otherwise HE is NirgunaNirguna Brahma (unmani(unmanifeetfest consciousness). When Taraka Brahma takes the assistance of the fivef i ve fundamentalfundamental factors, according to TantraTantra,, it is1s called HIS Mahasambhuti.Mahaeambhuti.

In Tantra Sadhana or in Ananda Marga Sadhana, oneODe whosewhoae goal is1s PurusottamaPurueottama merges lnIn Saguna Brahma and one who almsaims at Nirguna Brahma gets himself surrendered into The Objectless Entity. It is1s only in Tantra that the Sa­ dhana of Taraka Brahma has been specially defined as8e distinct from the Sa­ dhana of Nirguna anandd Saguna andand has its own peculiarity,peculiarity. Theoretically speaking,speaking, Saguna Brahma has infinite SamskarasSamskarae and 80so forfor an infinite time to come Saguna BrahmaBrahma will continue to enjoy the fruit of its own past actions. Nirguna is the Objectless Entity withwith no action or derivation, but Taraka Brahma is the middle point and can fulfil the function of both. HE guides, lovesloves and favours HIS affectionateaffectionate sons l:'.nde.nd daughtdaughters.ers.' HIS children say that HE cannot live withwithoutout loving them and address HIM, "a110 our great Father, our affectionate MotherMother,, ouourr AllAll,1 we remember TheeThee.1 Thou art the only rescuereecue in this crude worlworldlydly oceocean,an, 80so to ThTheeee we surrender ourourselvee.1ts elves." This complete surrender is the summum bonum of all spiritual Sadhana which only can lead to HIM,HIM, from where the decline is not even imaginable. Really blessed isi8 hebe who has attained this complete surrender unto HIM - like the piece of salt which went to measure the depthde~th ofof the ocean but a momentous livine jerk and an attattractionr action occured and the bit of salt was lost, none kn<.:kn~Ns'NB where.

WHEN DOES DOES HE APPEAR? He comescomes when there is a predpredominanceominance of sin, making it difficu�tdifficu~t for the virtuous people to live on this earthearth., WbenWhen Dharma declines and Adharma gets the upper hand; whenwhen the virvirtuoustuous andand the pious are tortured and the dishonest evil doers tyrannise over the goodlgood1 in a word, when the human in­ tellect is guided along degraddegradeedd and destructivedestructive channels, Taraka BrahmaBr ahma desires to come on earth with a specifispecificc mission of restoring DharmaDharma by launchinglaunching a ceaseleseceaseless fight against all injustice and sin.

TherTheree are a fewfew notable criterion by which to discern thethe TarTarakaaka BrahmaBrahma from other Mahapurusa:Mahapurusa:-- (1(1)) HE Himself is a born Guru and has no spiritual Guru (2)(2 ) HE comes with the specific mission to restorereetore MoralityMorality and Dharma. The entire societyeociety becomes divided between Moralists and immoralistsjimmoralists; fight between them is inevitable and ultimatelyultimately Dharma comeecomes out victorivictorioue.ous. (3) HIS emeemergencergence meanemeans a new eraera ofof white peace and Dharma.Dharma.

DFTS-05882 BeforeB.tore narrating the story ofat the self-immolation, I wouldwould likel1ke to bring out some of the extraordinary qualities ofat Dj~eshvarananda'sDj�eshvarananda's personality which led him to becomebecome a greatgroat hero in the historyhi.tory of AnandaAnanda MargaMarga., In 1966 it waswae my good fofortunertune ttoo be together withwith Din­Din­ eseshvaranandajihva ranandaji fortor some time. He and I werewere both ordjnaryordinary wholewholetimers,timers, non-avadhut at that time, and we ~erewere given the same type of work in Delhi. Generally whenwhen you work with one person,pereon, you come to know indepthindeptb ddetailsetails of hishie life, hishie habits andand alsoalso his working capacity;capac ity; andand so I came to recogniserecognise mymy close brother asas a giant of aa man. Even on mymy first meetingmeeting withwith him, I had the impressionimpression that herehere isie not a man, but a power personified --- - a power that can explode troubles oror obstacles which come inin the path of Ideology; andand truly he did,did. When the Marga was facing obsobstaclestacles and the MargiieMargiis werweree demoralised due to the tor­ tures and ever-growingever - growing influence influence ofot the evil forces, +.histhis power rereallyally worked andand blew apart the corrupt proceedings of the Government like dynamite explodes the boulders ofot the mountainmountain side8ide., He needed only iideologicaldeological machinery to channel hiehis power in the most dynamic way -- for if pow­ er is1s handled properly with�th tthehe proper machinery, natur­ aallylly iitt will bring proper results. In tthehe beginning years of his workingworking he expressed to me that he felt hehe had trtremendousemendous power ,1 butbut he did not feel as if it were being properly utilised,utilised. He had the desire to become an Avadhuta,Avadhuta. but aom.some people, I don't know ttheirheir names becaubecausese they are no longer in the Marga, hharassedarassed him.
