Anti-Ananda Marga things in Ananda Marga Magazine

Anti-Ananda Marga things in Ananda Marga Magazine

This letter is only for those who have reverence for Guru and try to follow His guideline. 

Namaskar,
All are aware that the entire ethic and purpose of our Ananda Marga magazines is to highlight, explain, and elaborate upon Ananda Marga ideology. There is no scope or question of any magazine going against the teachings of Ananda Marga philosophy etc. Yet, sadly, that is what has happened here.

The Bhakta Samaj magazine printed that there is a myth that one should drink 5 glasses of water per day. The summary of the Bhakta Samaj article is that 5 glasses of water is too much. Drinking 5 glasses of water per day will undermine your health. That is theory that Bhakta Samaj is promoting.


Baba guides: 
healthy person 12 - 16 glasses of water daily


Now we should review Guru’s teaching where He states that a healthy person should drink approximately 12  - 16 glasses of water everyday, and sick persons should drink around 16 - 20 glasses of water everyday.

Ananda Marga Yogic Treatments states, ““Ápashcavishvabheśajii” – that is, “Water is medicine for all diseases.” Truly, all types of disease can be relieved if one knows how to use water properly. To maintain the internal functions of the body without hindrance and to maintain the internal liquid balance, everyone should drink a sufficient quantity of water every day. A healthy person can consume three or four seers [approximately 12 - 16 glasses] of water a day, a sick person four or five seers [approximately 16 - 20 glasses], and a person suffering from skin disease, five or six seers [approximately 20 - 24 glasses]. These amounts of water help cure a disease to a great extent. Drinking water is good, but water with a little lemon and a little salt is still better.” (1)

So Baba says that a healthy person should drinking at minimum 12 glasses per day. And the article in the Bhakta Samaj magazine states that even drinking 5 glasses of water is very bad.

By Baba’s above teaching it is clear that:
(a) Baba guides: A healthy person should drink approximately 12  - 16 glasses of water everyday to keep their body healthy.
(b) Baba guides: A sick person should drink approximately 16 - 20 glasses of water everyday to restore their health.
(c) Baba guides:  A person suffering from skin disease should drink approximately 20 - 24 glasses of water everyday to rid their body of skin disease.


Bhakta Samaj magazine prints bogus things & misguides

Unfortunately in an article in the Bhakta Samaj magazine (Feb 2016, p. 42-3) the article takes a mocking tone at the benefits of drinking water. Specifically, the article makes the following claims.
(a) Bhakta Samaj magazine prints: Drinking five glasses of water per day will be bad for one's health.
(b) Bhakta Samaj magazine prints: Drinking water does not flush poisons and toxins from the body.
These are just two of the many ways that the article in Bhakta Samaj disparages the health benefits of drinking water. They are preaching that it is a dogma to drink 5 glasses of water per day. They just say that if one is eating soupy foods then that is enough.

So this is a clear-cut case wherein one of our Ananda Marga magazines contravenes the teachings of Ananda Marga.


Dada Santosananda printing false things

In all circumstances our aim is to preach and demonstrate Ananda Marga ideology: To teach genuine points of bhagavad dharma - not compromise with false things. The entire world is waiting for something great to happen, i.e. to receive the teachings of Sadguru. Yet here we see our Bhakta Samaj editor Ac Santoshananda jii / Ac Santos'a'nanda jii / Santosananda jii is selling-out and surrendering to materialistic, societal trends.

When I first saw this done in the name of Marga Guru then at first my heart sank - I thought how these editors could have done like this. They will destroy Ananda Marga. Then after a few moments idea came that there are many right thinking margiis & wts who will properly convey the authenticity of our Ananda Marga teachings. But such blunders with this Bhakta Samaj magazines should end - we have to save Baba's teachings.

Namaskar,
in Him,
Nirmala’ Singh


Baba’s guideline: when to drink water and when not

- Upon waking in the morning and getting up from the bed, one should drink a large quantity of water after utksepa mudra.
- Just before food, while eating, and immediately after completing a meal one should not drink water.
- Throughout the day, every hour, one should drink a small quantity of water.
- Drink a glass or two of water 30 min before eating food - not directly before food.
- Always keep a glass of water near you when taking a meal in case any food gets caught in the throat.
- Heart disease patients should not drink a large quantity of water at one time.
- Do not drink water after eating oily foods - best is to wait 2 - 3 hours as oil and water do not mix.
- By following the above guidelines, one can drink 12- 16 glasses per day.

* I personally know that one of my friends who suffered from kidney stones found permanent relief from this problem by increasing their water intake and drinking moderate amounts throughout the day.

* When Baba used to go out anywhere- even on field walk etc - always devotees would carry water for Him and He would drink frequently.

Ananda Marga Yogic Treatments states, ““Ápashcavishvabheśajii” – that is, “Water is medicine for all diseases.” Truly, all types of disease can be relieved if one knows how to use water properly. To maintain the internal functions of the body without hindrance and to maintain the internal liquid balance, everyone should drink a sufficient quantity of water every day. A healthy person can consume three or four seers [approximately 12 - 16 glasses] of water a day, a sick person four or five seers [approximately 16 - 20 glasses], and a person suffering from skin disease, five or six seers [approximately 20 - 24 glasses]. These amounts of water help cure a disease to a great extent. Drinking water is good, but water with a little lemon and a little salt is still better.” (2)

All this is going on in the name of our Ananda Marga magazine - Bhakta Samaj. Because they see that the Bhakta Samaj editor Ac Santosananda jii is just copying bogus, new-age articles from the web and pasting them in his magazine. It is really an awful scene and I feel badly how the Bhakta Samaj editor Ac Santoshananda jii has fallen in this manner.

By failing to live up to the ideal of our Ananda Marga ideology, Ac Santosananda jii is verily depriving humanity of dharmic teachings. Dadaji’s duty is to spread dharma but he is doing just opposite in     his magazine, Bhakta Samaj.


Bhakta Samaj - (February 2016) page 42-3




Editor: Ac Santosananda Avt -  As the editor he is most responsible for this sin.

Best will be if Dadaji does not try to defend himself or attempt to justify his dealings. Dada Santosananda is clearly in the wrong and the most appropriate response is to abide by Sadguru’s below conduct rule.

Ananda Marga social code states, “If there is even a little fault in you, you should keep your mouth closed and accept it all, and you should thank the person for pointing out your fault and ask for punishment.” (3)

The Bhakta Samaj magazine is printed in Hindi and if you are a Hindi reader and would like to see the magazine, write us and we will send you a copy of the article etc.
