Thief Thief: Cheats in Whatsapp Pose as Intellectuals
Namaskar,
These
days in Whatsapp and social media forums, cheats are copying from
Baba's books, and changing a few words here and there, and sticking
their own name as though they were the real writer. But the fact is that
it is just dirty plagiarism: they copy the whole thing from Baba's
books, change a few words here and there, and stick their name in the
end. Here below is one such example.
See here below, this green section is from the discourse Mantra Caetanya, 28 May 1967 DMC, Allahabad, printed in Subháśita Saḿgraha Part 10, Electronic Edition 7.5.
Baba says--“Everything
in this manifest universe is vibrational. Creation is also vibrational.
And the first and subtlest expression of the vibrational flow is
shabda. As shabda is the first vibrational expression of Brahma...
A
mantra is a collection of a few particular shabdas - not each and every
shabda. Mantra means “that collection of sounds meditation on which
leads to liberation”...
Every
mantra is thus sonic or vibrational and is vibrating simultaneously in
the Cosmic system and in the unit body. When, with the help of a mantra,
a person finally establishes the parallelism of the unit ectoplasmic
vibration with the Cosmic vibration, that person gets mantra siddhi.” (1)
This
above green para from an AM book, one person Madhurima Hariharan has
copied and changed a few words, and she has put her name as the writer.
See the below scan is the proof of her black deed.
Madhurima Hariharan is cheat and plagiarizer
See below scan-- Madhurima Hariharan's letter in Whatsapp. It is the example of thievery --

Example of quacks and rotten intellectuals
Smt.
Madhurima Hariharan has copied from an AM book, changed a few words,
and she has put her name as the original writer. It is the example of
thievery --
By doing this thievery or plagiarizing, she has committed a double sin.
1) She did not cite the name of the original writer, who is Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji.
2) The second sin is that in order to hide the first sin, she changed a few words here and there.
She
is devious, not a simple thief. Just see-- from Baba’s discourse Mantra
Caetanya, she selected a section of around 1000 words, and started by
taking two sentences from the beginning of it. Then she skipped a few
hundred words, then copied two sentences. Then again skipped a few
hundred words, then again copied two sentences. Like this she did
several times.
Her
deviousness does not end there. This is not the first time she has done
this. To hide her negative act more securely, she misspelled a few
words here and there, to prove that she is the author and this is not
copied from some other source.
This deception is the expression of a very degraded mindset
Here are the steps behind this dirty deed--
A) First she copied from an Ananda Marga book.
B) She took many steps to hide her crime.
She
is black inside and out. An honest person will never do such things.
And she did this with the sole motive to get recognized among innocent
margiis, as a great intellectual. But this deception is the expression
of a very low and degraded mind set. Such thieves and cheats are a slur
on Ananda Marga. They are an example of quacks and rotten intellectuals.
It is the duty of every sincere Margii to keep a watchful eye. And
wherever they discover this type of hypocrisy, then unmask the culprits
before everyone.
Ask for punishment
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.” (2)
If
she is not 100% fake, then after reading this above quote from
Caryacarya she will keep quiet and refrain from committing similar sins
in the future-- i.e. plagiarizing.
Namaskar,
In Him

Below
are various teachings of our Guru, Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji, where He
teaches us what to do in the above circumstances. Or in other words, how
to deal with thieves, cheats, and plagiarizers.
Habitual exhibitionism is one of the mental diseases
This below teaching is from NSS book, chapter Shivokti 6.
Ananda
Marga Philosophy says, “Habitual exhibitionism is one of the mental
diseases of humanity. The root cause of this disease is the psychology
of inflating one's personality so that others are confounded, stupefied
and overawed – they become speechless and gape with wonder at that
inflated personality. Leave aside the person who has some merit, some
capacity – even those without the least wealth, from whom you cannot
expect a single penny even if you do seven hundred sit-ups and push-ups
before them – even such people seek to exhibit themselves like fools or
pandits. They never even care to know whether anyone has detected them
or not, or whether others are actually laughing at them behind their
backs: they remain totally obsessed with themselves. They even tend to
forget that the Operative Principle, which is responsible for all
actions, big or small, benevolent or malevolent, is absolutely dependent
on the witness-ship of the Cognitive Principle. Those who have meagre
intelligence may not be able to grasp this philosophical idea, but those
who claim to have some intelligence, although they understand it, want
to forget it. And behind this, the same psychology predominates – the
psychology of exhibitionism, the psychology of self-display.” (3)
They lose interest in learning anything useful
Ananda
Marga Philosophy says, “There is a story for children about a certain
king who had an iron safe where he kept his gold coins. These coins,
because of long disuse, became mouldy. One day the king spread the gold
coins in the sun to dry, and a frog picked up one of the smallest
pieces. At this its belly puffed up and its throat swelled up, and it
began to announce in its characteristic rasping voice,.....At this,
everyone came and asked the frog, “Well, sir, what wealth do you
actually have?” Then the frog spun that little coin around at least
seven hundred times, saying, “Am I less than the king?” This is an
example of the psychology of exhibitionism...” (3)
Ananda Marga Philosophy says, “People
with this mental defect lose their power of discrimination. First, they
think that since they are so great, there is no need for them to learn
anything from others. As a result of this, their further progress comes
to a halt. Secondly, the arrogant attitude of this asmitá banishes from
their minds the humble psychology of the learner. They lose interest in
learning anything useful; so not only in the world of knowledge, but
also in the world of practicality, they become misfits in life because
of their mountainous accumulated ignorance. It is not that arrogance of
this sort simply obstructs their progress.” (3)
Analogy of snake: how to deal with wrongdoers
Guru’s following teaching about the danger of having a snake inside the house perfectly suits this incident.
अपना
आदमी हो, घर का आदमी हो ; कोई सत्य से इधर-उधर हट गया, sincerity की कमी
जिनमें है—उसका विरोध करो, बर्दाश्त मत करो | अपना आदमी है तो क्या है |
अपना आदमी अगर असाधु है, insincere है, तो, और भी अधिक ख़तरनाक है | क्यों ?
बाहर में अगर साँप रहा, वह जितना ख़तरनाक है, घर में अगर साँप घुस गया तो
और भी अधिक ख़तरनाक है | इसलिए, और भी, उसका अधिक विरोध होना चाहिए |” (4)
"If
our own person or relative deviates from the truth or is lacking
sincerity, oppose him, do not tolerate him. It does not matter if he is
our own relative. If our own person is dishonest and insincere then he
is more dangerous. Why? If there is a snake outside it is dangerous, but
if a snake comes inside the house it is more dangerous. Therefore he
[our close person] should be opposed more strongly." (4)
In
His above teaching, Sadguru Baba explains that bad elements in society
are dangerous, but bad elements inside your house - inside your
organisation - are more dangerous. Do not tolerate them - oppose them.
Thus when Margiis, wts, are resorting to theft and plagiarism, there is
no question of sitting idle. They must be opposed.
Baba
says, "It is not possible to guide others merely with cheap,
superficial knowledge, like a half-baked pandit who reads a half-a-dozen
books and then spouts a few mouthfuls of grandiloquence, and who has
obtained a doctorate degree by plagiarising others’ works." (5)
In
A Guide to Human Conduct it is written, “All Ananda Margis, when they
see other Margis acting against the principles of Yama and Niyama, must
make them shun this habit either by sweet or harsh words or by dealing
even more strictly.” (6)
