Society: August 2006 Archives

National News Service, Kolkata - 7th August 2006: A casteless, dowryless and priestless revolutionary marriage took place at Dishari (Marriage Hall) in Salt Lake City of Kolkata on 4th August 2006 with a Sanyasini in saffron robes conducting the ceremony. Two Bengali speaking persons - a boy and a girl -of different castes were united in matrimony under the auspices of Ananda Marga founded by Marga Guru Shrii Shrii Anandamurtjii. The married couple were Sri Kaushik Maity and Srimati Manidipa Hazra.

According to Prout, human society is one and indivisible. Human society is just like a garland, which is made of different types of flowers, linked by one common thread. The complete beauty of the garland is dependent upon the proper manifestation of each flower. Similarly, to maintain unity and solidarity in society, each strata of society must be equally strengthened.

Any human being or non-human being who wants to break this solidarity must be opposed, and you will have to fight against such elements. For example, although the five Pandavas and the one hundred Kaoravas were enemies, Yudhisthiira, the eldest of the Pandava brothers said:

"Vayam paicabhikam shatam" "One hundred and five will fight against a common enemy." So when you have to fight anti-social and anti-human forces in Asia, Europe, the world or the entire universe you must fight as a single, unified entity.
