Nickel and Dime Baba video…

Irwin Luck of Myrtle Beach, SC is now offering a Nickel-and-Dime video streaming service of Baba video!

Evidently, one can rent Baba video on a 24 hour or monthly basis, for nickels and dimes! My problem is that my unshakeable faith in Baba lovers has long since crumbled into apostasy. Is this what archiving in the Baba community has come to? And my interest in supporting Baba lovers who steal relics as if they were some kind of trophy and who pedal archival material (for nickels and dimes) that was originally done with the help of many in a spirit of earnest sincerity, has long since wavered.

Why is it that ambition is so often so utterly cheap? No, Irwin, I’m not there with you- not at all!

World Wide Baba Alert For Dr. Vomit Ghoul-Gaur

All sincere lovers of God are advised to avoid, at all cost, the Prince of Vomit, Dr. Ghoul-Gaur. This Indian national, residing in Shivpuri, travels widely both within India and abroad. He is notorious for hypnotizing the gullible with his bad taste, foul breath and predilection for trash-talk disguised with a velveeta tongue.

Here is a likeness of the Prince of Vomit.

It should be noted  Dr. Vomit Ghoul-Gaur goes by a Facebook alias, Cosmo UltimateAlchemist. This http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYy2T3iK-CY provides detailed information.

Alert lovers of God will notice that a key behavior to the spiritually pretentious is to wear white kurtas, dresses, gowns etc, sport pretentious rings, promote silly claims like infallibility, fabricate lineages, spout absurd mantras, steal relics and attract a slavish entourage. Also, false gurus excel at marketing third rate cheesy product as the real thing, for which they want your money!

The immortal Hafez in a ghazal has this to say:

The sufi set a trap and began playing his tricks-
he set a footing of deceit for the sky’s sleight of hand.

But the play of the juggler broke the egg on his hat:
he tried his tricks on those who know the secret.

Come, o saqi, for the beautiful beloved of the sufis
has again returned all adorned and now begins to flirt.

Where is this minstrel from who plays in the mode of Iraq,
but whose melody has returned by the way of Hejaz?

Come, o heart, for we are seeking protection in God,
from that which the short in sleeve but long in arm has done!

Don’t dissimulate- because whoever has been played at love
has had the door of truth shut in the heart’s face!

Tomorrow, when the court of truth presents the evidence,
that traveler will be shamed whose actions were profane.

O partridge with the strutting gait- where are you going, stop:
don’t be deceived that the pious one’s cat has prayed!

Hafez, don’t blame the rend, because since the very beginning
God has created us with no need for pious hypocrisy!

notes: minstrel…by way of Hejaz= “who is the one parading
the fact of having returned from the hajj”?

All my love all my hate

All my love all my hate
cries out to expiate
for my indifference:
the Master is my fate.

The well of remembrance draws not from memory

The well of remembrance draws not from memory,
but from the fount of Silence that is creativity.

Do you remember, do you forget, the stillness of rose
unfolding? Such is how the longing spirit boldly grows.

Bolbol, singing from the divan’s ancient pristine page–
your song is always singing from its timeless cage!

I see Hafez in the Garden’s corner, emerald tendrils
twining his tunic richly with brocade of ruby frills.

Lost to all in flashing verdant green, and widening red,
the Poet’s smile reveals laughter from beyond the dead.

Sing Hafez, sing again the song that destroys time. Sing
me awake with the love that has forever crowned you King.

O Darvish, how you cry with the pain left by sharp thorn,
which has written your song in blood, and left you forlorn.

Wikidpedia: an encyclopedia of Babadumb. Jai Ho Internet Chat Club

With Chairman Bao‘s passing and the unceremonious end of the Kool-Chewy Dynasty, the Jai Ho Internet Chat Club made a valiant effort to continue the Chairman’s legacy of media exposure through Chat events.  However, the same depths of self serving absurdity were impossible to achieve and interest has sputtered.

Wikidpedia: an encyclopedia of Babadumb. The Maitreya Buddha Three Rings Lineage.

The Three Rings Lineage, deriving from Mahasiddhi Chairman Bao as the first Patriarch of a transmission originating with the Maitreya Buddha, is based in Hawaii on a pineapple fruitcake farm. Little is known about this esoteric lineage other than the simple assertion that Chairman Bao crapped it out as a golden egg, so to speak. The magical powers of the Chairman have been attested to by his many devotees, who consider him a Perfect Master.

Wikidpedia: an encyclopedia of Babadumb. The Queens.

The Queens represented the plenipotentiary powers of Chairman Bao. They were roving ambassadors of grace and aplomb. Their role was more public than the Mothers, but perhaps not as consequential. The political dynamic between the Mothers and the Queens is a fascinating study that awaits documentation and analysis. As graceful and eloquent as were the Queens, so were the Mothers powerful and cunning.

Wikidpedia: an encyclopedia of Babadumb. The Mothers

The Mothers were elect members of the Jai Ho Club. They were those most responsible for the welfare of Chairman Bao. They attended to his more private needs. The exact number of Mothers involved in ministering to the Chairman is veiled by the curtain of domestic privacy. (They are disambiguated from the Queens, who deserve a separate entry.) The Mothers are perhaps the most important clue to the Chairman’s assumed role as “an innocent”: they allowed him to fully dramatize his guilelessness. The Chairman’s putative crucifixion was the fear of separation from the Mothers. Key Mothers held enormous power and were major political players in the Jai Ho Club.

Wikidpedia: an encyclopedia of Babadumb. Yad Rakh

Perhaps the most enigmatic statements of Chairman Bao are his remarks on Yad Rakh. This phrase, which means “remember this”, was attributed to the Silent Master as the phrase with which he broke his long standing silence, which Chairman Bao alone was privileged to hear. Except that the story was later retracted with the clear-as-mud clarification that the Chairman heard this phrase in his head, not with his ears.

It has been suggested that Chairman Bao heard many things in his head that never had a verifiable referent. He would complain of his “crucifixion”, for example, although some have suggested that this refers to the forcible separation from his Mothers when admitted to hospital for tests.

Wikidpedia: an encyclopedia of Babadumb. Jai Ho

Jai Ho is the seed syllable mantra of the Jai Ho Club. The full version, which few can master, is Jai Ho Ko Ko Her Her Ho Ko Her Her Ko Ko Her Ho Ho Ho.  The etiology of Jai Ho suggests it is a corruption of Jai Baba as an act of willful and stupid substitution. The popularity of this mantra appears to be synchronous with the wearing of The Three Rings and demure regard for Chairman Bao.
