Clowns are exposing their colour


Baba

Clowns are exposing their colour

Namaskar,

Ananda Marga ideology states, “You shall protect, in all respects and at all costs, the dignity of your treasures and the sanctity of your flag, of your emblem, and of the pratikrti [photo] of Márga Guru.” (1)

Ananda Marga ideology says, "You must have respect for the guru." (2)

This photo says it all


Now see this below photo and examine for yourself how that the various dadas are behaving in an irrelevant, hypocritical, deceitful, and raucous manner.




As you have undoubtedly noticed, here are some of the many ways these Dadas are contravening dharmic tenets and undermining their own standing:
(a) First and foremost, the photo of Sadguru Shrii Shrii Anandamurti is completely blocked by the avadhuta who is standing and holding the microphone. That means those margiis in attendance cannot see Baba’s image. This Dada failed to understand that the margiis did not come to see him but arrived out of deep reverence for Guru. But this Dada is so self-engrossed and has such a low degree of bhakti that he remains oblivious of how he is disrespecting Guru and violating the margiis’ inner yearning.

(b) In His teachings on neo-humanism, Baba shows how hypocrites expose themselves in unguarded moments. Baba points out how a secret believer of caste dogma gets drunk and starts denouncing other castes and proclaims his superiority etc, thereby exposing his hypocrisy and revealing he is a follower of caste dogma. But when sober he would never divulge his true thoughts. Similarly, these Dadas speak day and night about having deep reverence for Guru, but here in their casual manner they sit with their backs to Guru, block his image entirely, and disrespect Him further by sitting up there glued to their phones etc. They are completely revealing their lowly level of reverence for Guru, thereby proving themselves as veritable hypocrites.

Involved in sexting girlfriends & fiances
(c) These Dadas became addicted to their phones because they are involved in sexting their “girlfriends” all the 24 hours. The Dada standing is giving a lecture yet side by side, he is glancing at his fiance on his cell phone screen during every free moment he gets. The next dada to the right is immersed in sexting his didi girlfriend, and the next one is keeping a plate of food on his lap and covering his orifice as he shoves mouthfuls of pakoras (tasty, fried treats) into his stomach. And finally, the last one is secretly involved on his phone, glancing at lowly images etc.

(d) So these Dadas are committing all sorts of wrongs. They are blocking Guru’s image and not showing an iota of respect to Guru as his “representatives” on stage. As avadhutas, they are supposed to present themselves as being ideal disciples to Guru, but they completely forgot this and expose their beleaguered degree of bhakti. And they are putting their duplicity on display for all to see. In short, 5-minute segments they can fake it and pretend to be great avadhutas, but the more time that goes by the more they unwind and invariably show their clownlike and hypocritical dealing. And that is exactly what happened at this event. These Dadas could not hide their degraded status for long. It was bound to ooze out.

(e) Even followers of the dogmatic religions are sincere in their reverence towards their idol or cherished symbol etc, yet here these avadhutas are completely careless and verily display their disregard for Guru and lack of interest for the program on the whole. All told it is shameful.
https://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com/

Conclusion

Here again we should remind ourselves how the Dadas in the above photo did not follow this following basic mandate.

Ananda Marga ideology states, “You shall protect, in all respects and at all costs, the dignity of your treasures and the sanctity of your flag, of your emblem, and of the pratikrti [photo] of Márga Guru.” (3)

When they themselves are not following the fundamental tenets of dharma on a day to day basis then what are they going to teach others. Rather they will just waste their time in all kinds of lowly pursuits and expose their standard by sexting and other degenerating activities.

in Him,
Bhaktibhusan Dev

More blunders on display


Now look further what our Dadas are doing: They are sitting directly in front of Guru's photo - blocking it entirely. This is not the proper way for any disciples to behave. With their common sense, disciples or sadhaka would think it unconscionable to sit with their back to​ their Guru - blocking Him entirely. The person standing is the most lowly as he has planted himself directly in front of Guru’s photo. And verily so many of these “great” avadhutas are seated in front of Guru’s photo and are flanked by their peers. And that is the scene we bear witness to here. Guru’s photo is completely blocked ​by these worthless people.

​These Dadas have contravened a basic, fundamental rule that even ordinary citizens follow. At any gathering, the best seat is always reserved for the most respected person. At conventions, the most honored gets the best seat; at forums, the invited speaker gets the best seat; at weddings, a special place is reserved for the bride and groom. But, this basic ethic such lowly Wts could not follow. They sat directly in front of Sadguru Baba’s image.
https://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com/

If you look you will see that Guru's photo is on the wall directly below the pratik. For the sake of sanctity of not showing His image on the internet, we have edited the Guru's photo, which is flanked by yellow and red flowers along the top and right sides. Those in attendance have every right to view Baba's photo but sadly they could not get the chance as these big Dadas blocked it. That is the unsavory state of affairs and depleted status of bhakti of our avadauta Dadas on this stage.




By their behaviour and dealing such Dadas have completely gone against Ananda Marga scripture on reverence to Guru.

Ananda Marga ideology says, "Trtiiyaḿ gurupújanam. I must have reverence for the guru. What is the guru? Gu means “darkness”, that is, darkness in the psycho-spiritual sphere. And ru means “dispelling agent”. That is, he who dispels darkness from my psychic and spiritual body is the guru. Gu means “darkness”, ru means “dispeller”. “Trtiiyaḿ gurupújanam. That is, you must have respect for the guru." (4)

Caryacarya guides us, "The one formless, beginningless and infinite Parama Brahma (Supreme Consciousness) is the only entity to be attained by living beings – That alone is Jagat Guru (the Supreme preceptor), That alone has revealed Brahmavidyá (intuitional science) to us through the medium of the name and form of Anandamúrtijii. Unit beings must be made to appreciate Its majesty." (5)

Preserving sanctity of Sadguru's photo


As we know, in our dharmacakra halls and jagrtis etc, Guru's photo must be prominently displayed at all times - with due reverence and regard. Best then is to have two photos on display - one lower (around 4 feet off ground), and one higher (around 7 feet off the ground.)

If everyone is sitting in sadhana or Guru Puja then both photos should be displayed. Because everyone is low to the ground and no one will block or disrespect Guru's image.

And if someone is standing or giving a talk, or if akhanda kiirtan is being done, then the lower photo, which is only four feet off the ground, should either be turned around or covered by a small curtain. That way those standing will not block or hover over Guru's photo. At the same time, the higher photo - which is around 7 feet above the ground - will be in full view of all. Those standing will have no chance of blocking that photo. Thus the sanctity of Sadguru's photo will be maintained and the devotional environment preserved.

Those plunged in narrow sentiments

“Tumi, dúr ákásher dhruvatárá, path khunje páy tomár kripáy, jiivane je jan path hárá…” (Prabhat Samgiita #0555)

Purport:

O’ Parama Purusa, You are the Polestar of the distant sky. Those who fix their vision on You never lose the path of Supreme Blessedness. Their life’s journey is assured. But when they focus on something other than You and adopt things like name, fame, money, and wealth as their goal, then they fall. Even then, for those who have lost their way, if they again fix their vision on You, they will regain the path, by Your compassion. If those plunged in dogma and drowned in narrow sentiments surrender to You, they will rediscover the path of neo-humanism. By Your mercy, they will again come onto the path of dharma and tread the path of divinity.

When, due to stormy winds, the boat is rocking violently on the sea, and the bird is flying fearfully in the vast sky, by Your supreme kindness both regain the proper path. It is exclusively Your infinite love. O’ Supreme Entity, regardless of the circumstances, You save everyone. When due to the onslaught of materialism and the storm of mundane attraction, the sadhaka falls from the path of enlightenment and adopts the ways of sin, in that dire situation, You rescue them. You shower them with samvit shakti and bring them back onto the path of divinity, onto the right path.

Baba, O’ Parama Purusa, when the mind is tormented by sorrow and grief and loses the path in the boundless ocean, by Your mercy, it finds the shore. Seeing their trouble, You come closer with Your loving smile and soothing touch and remove their sorrow and fill their life with bliss. Without Your love and guidance, nothing is possible.


Note for Prabhat Samgiita #0555:

[1] Samvit Shakti: "Samvit means spiritual consciousness, spiritual awakening. A man engaged in bad things all of a sudden feels that “No, I shouldn’t do all these things. No, I should be a good man henceforward.” Such an idea all of a sudden comes in his mind. And this thing, this change of mental tendency, is brought about by samvit shakti of Vidyámáyá. Do you follow? This is what is called samvit shakti. “No, henceforward I must be a good man. No, henceforward I must be a spiritualist. I must not encourage any depraving idea.” Samvit shakti." (1)

[2] Those who keep Parama Purusa in their forefront never drift from the path. They make their human life successful. Whereas, those who fail to keep Parama Purusa as their Polstar waste their time accepting mundane things as their goal of life. They destroy their potential. Ultimately, in the end, they die in misery and hopelessness.

Worthless disciple + 3 more


Baba

Worthless disciple

Note: This letter is only for those who have reverence for Sadguru Baba Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji and try to follow His Ananda Marga ideology.

Namaskar,

I have regard for the social post of Purodha Pramukha as the PP Dada is to exemplify Guru’s teachings in all the ways. Unfortunately, look what has happened recently with PP Dada Vishvadevananda ji. A full description and photo is below. First though let us examine Sadguru Baba’s key guideline on this matter.

Ananda Marga ideology says, "Trtiiyam' gurupújanam. I must have reverence for the guru. What is the guru? Gu means “darkness”, that is, darkness in the psycho-spiritual sphere. And ru means “dispelling agent”. That is, he who dispels darkness from my psychic and spiritual body is the guru. Gu means “darkness”, ru means “dispeller”. “Trtiiyam' gurupújanam. That is, you must have respect for the guru." (1)


What happened at recent DMS in Jamalpur

Now look what PP Dada Vishvadevananda is doing. He has seated himself directly in front of Guru's photo. As everyone knows, this is not the proper way for any bhakta to behave as it is most disrespectful. With their common sense, no bhakta or sadhaka can think of sitting with their back to Guru. Yet here, at a recent DMS in Jamalpur, we see Dada Vishvadevananda sitting directly in front of Guru's image. Dadaji's back is 100% towards Baba’s photo. In addition, all those margiis who have come from near and far and convened for DMS are unable to fully see Sadguru Baba’s photo because Dada Vishvadevananda is blocking their view and covering up Baba’s image. So this is a double sin. First, Dada is failing to show proper reverence for Guru; second, he is impeding the spiritual experience of all those bhaktas in attendance by blocking Guru's photo. This is the poor showing that occurred at the recent DMS in Jamalpuar.
https://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com/

Not only that, Dada Vishvadevananda has contravened a basic, fundamental rule that even ordinary citizens follow. At any gathering, the best seat is always reserved for the most respected person. At conventions, the president gets the best seat; at forums, the invited speaker gets the best seat; at weddings, a special place is reserved for the bride and groom. Naturally then, the more respected seat at any Ananda Marga gathering is reserved for Sadguru Baba. But, this basic ethic Dadaji could not follow, as he has placed himself directly in front of Sadguru Baba’s photo.


Photo from Jamalpur 2018 DMS

(Note: it is the policy of this network to never display Guru's photo on the internet. For this reason the above image has been adjusted accordingly. Those bhaktas who wish to see the full photo may request individually.)

See here how PP Dada is blocking the view to Baba's photo. The red and yellow flowers below the pratik form a frame around Baba's photo. The frame along the right side of the photo is mostly behind the VSS guard and the top portion of the frame around Baba's photo is level with the head of the VSS guard. Now that you can see the outline of the frame, it is evident where Baba's photo is. But the problem is that PP Vishvadevananda is seated directly in front of Baba's photo so bhaktas cannot see Sadguru Baba. It is completely disrespectful and and goes against all codes of sanctity and reverence towards Ista.


In case you did not read earlier, in this above photo Dada Vishvadevananda is committing a double sin. First, PP Dada is failing to show proper reverence for Guru as he is sitting with his back toward Sadguru Baba’s image; second, Dada is impeding the spiritual experience of all those bhaktas in attendance by blocking Guru's photo. This is the poor showing that occurred at the recent DMS in Jamalpur.

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, “You shall protect, in all respects and at all costs, the dignity of your treasures and the sanctity of your flag, of your emblem, and of the pratikrti [photo] of Márga Guru.” (2)


Too much self importance is disease

All in all it is a sad and unfortunate showing by Dada Vishvadevananda. Because his mind is not in a spiritual flow, so he cannot think that what he is doing is sinful. Indeed, this happens when one places too much importance on their own unit self. They feel they should be glorified - and given greater value. This is one of the classic signs and symptoms of narcissism. When one suffers in this way they will even sit and block Guru’s image at DMS. And that is exactly what Dada Vishvadevananda did at the recent DMS. Whereas, when one's mind is in a more sentient and God-centered flow, they will never do like this.
https://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com/

When Dada Vishvadevananda and his handlers, Dada rudrananda and his sycophants, are not following the fundamental tenets of dharma then how are they going to teach others. 


Conclusion

Sadly PP Dada’s way of sitting directly in front of Guru's image undermines the sanctity of any DMS gathering. In Ananda Marga, Guru is the most revered Entity.

In Him,
Shankar Prakash

Baba story of Taiwan

Once Baba visited Taiwan and He gave PC to numerous sadhakas. In particular, after giving PC to one margii, that margii walked backwards towards the door so that he could face towards Baba as he was leaving the room. There is a tradition in the east to never turn your back on those whom you respect. Later on, Baba commented to those around that He appreciated how the margii respectfully exited the room by never turning his back on Guru.
https://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com/

Here again we should remind ourselves how the Dadas in the above photo did not adhere to following basic guidelines.

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, “You shall protect, in all respects and at all costs, the dignity of your treasures and the sanctity of your flag, of your emblem, and of the pratikrti [photo] of Márga Guru.” (3)

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, "The one formless, beginningless and infinite Parama Brahma (Supreme Consciousness) is the only entity to be attained by living beings – That alone is Jagat Guru (the Supreme preceptor), That alone has revealed Brahmavidyá (intuitional science) to us through the medium of the name and form of Anandamúrtijii. Unit beings must be made to appreciate Its majesty." (4)

For sinners: The only way one can block Sadguru’s image and sit in front of His photo is if that person truly feels that they are great and deserving of the highest honour. Such is the extreme degree of Dada Vishvadevananda’s narcissism.

(Note: it is the policy of this network to never display Guru's photo on the internet. For this reason the above image has been adjusted accordingly. Those bhaktas who wish to see the full photo may request individually.)

While marching on Your path, why some fall

"Toma'r pathe jete kuya'sha' keno a'se a'nkhite..."  (Prabhat Samgiita #2214)

Purport:

O' Parama Purusa, You have blessed me with all that I would ever need or want. Then why is it that while marching Your path, sometimes frustration and confusions come, thus making everything foggy. It is not easy to see across. Dilemmas arise in the mind as if the future is dark. O' Divine Entity, please create more and more effulgence so that all the accumulated blackness vanishes.

O' Illumined One, O' Polestar of my life, those who lost their course in life, Prithvii show them the way. Remove their frustration and ignorance and bring them in the right direction. I humbly ask that You shower Your grace on me so that in Your ideation and in Your dhyana I merge myself in You. Kindly allow my entire I-feeling to dissolve into You. Without Your krpa all this is not possible. 

Baba, with the force of Your mantra, awaken all, the entire world, from their slumber. I appeal to You to make me Your tool to execute Your task. Bless me so I pass my time in shravana, manana, and nididyasana, and always think about You. Baba, do Your work with my hand - getting Your plans done through me and fulfill Your desire...

Key points on eating, leadership, and humanity

Caryacarya states, "(1) Before taking food, ascertain if anybody present there has not eaten. If anyone has not eaten, do not take food unless the person willingly gives permission."

Caryacarya states, "(2) Whatever food you have, distribute it equally among all the Margis present, and then eat. But if somebody expresses unwillingness to eat, that is a different matter. You need not then feel restrained."

Note: For example, the Islamic religion has a lot of bad qualities, but their social cohesion and unity is that they never eat alone or secretly. They have to share their food and that has created strong affinity. Unfortunately in Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha, amongst the Wt cadre, this is rarely done. Commonly we see that those with money arrange special food for themselves while others starve. They do not care about others. That is why disunity and selfishness grows.

Caryacarya states, "(3) Love all, trust in all, but do not give responsibility to those not established in Yama-Niyama."

Note: This rule is very essential because when corrupt people are in power they create turmoil in the society. But unfortunately, nowadays in AMPS, that which Baba forbids is prevailing in the top level so-called postholders of our organisation.

Caryacarya states, "(4) Science is not the enemy of humanity. Avidyá (ignorance) is the enemy of humanity. Keep strict vigilance that the knowledge of science is confined only to those persons who are established in Yama-Niyama." (1)

Note: Baba guides that that science should be in the control of moralists. Then society will be greatly benefited. Now science is in the hands of immoralists, that is why you see that all kinds of negative, degenerating things are invented in the name of science such as in the fields of entertainment, weaponry and war etc. And on the other side science is not being used to resolve the basic minimum requirements around the globe. Billions are malnourished or starving and dying a slow death due to lack of proper water, food, medicine, education etc. And on the other side people are overeating dying to obesity etc. If science is in the hands of good people, moralists, then this world would be a better place.

All these aforesaid points are very significant. We should practice and propagate. You can experiment and see for yourself. If you share your food with your colleagues etc then they will feel more close.

Sudhanshu’s cowardliness + duplicity of ​Vimalananda


Baba

Sudhanshu ji will always be always remembered


Namaskar,

Sadguru Baba was extremely gracious and gave Sudhanshu ji of Ranchi a lot of guidance to make him into a standard human being. But Sudhanshu ji could not live up to the mark - unfortunately; he never became a standard person. In that way, he was like a stone in the river which can never get fully drenched by the water.

There are many cowards in the organisation and if we categorise them then Sudhanshu ji will almost be in the top category of cowards who deliberately and knowingly supported sin and tried to oppose dharma. Here is one anecdotal example of a long list:

He will be most remembered for becoming "Acting Bhukti Pradhan" of Ranchi Bhukti replacing duly elected BP brother Prithviraj on the behest of Rudrananda's stooge WTs like Sampurnananda etc.

And in the case of Dada Mantracetanananda, Sudhanshu ji did the same thing and shamelessly supported sinners.

Whatever pitiful condition of AMPS we see today, such Sudhanshu type of people are responsible. Sadly, the condition of Sudhanshu ji was like a street dog that twists its tail and is loyal to whoever gives it bread. Likewise, whoever gave Sudhanshu ji a post, then he would twist his tail and lick their feet.

For the aforesaid reason, Sudhanshu ji of Ranchi will be always remembered in our AMPS history.

in Him,
Himansu Dutta


== Section 2: Sub-Topic ==

Hypocrisy of ​Vimalananda


Namaskar,

In his speech, Vimalananda is addressing WT's and telling to them to do more pracara - down to the dit's & block Level. He talks about how there are so many Wts working in schools, and that they should not work as a principal. "You are an acarya" so let someone else would work as the principal, while you do praca'r and bring positive change in the society. Also he is telling to start an anti-drug movement, and utilize the schoolchildren for this work. Vimalananda is explaining  that darkness is the absence of light. And also he touches on sadvipra & the policy of Ananda Marga on education and agriculture. 

The great irony is that no matter how much Dada Vimalananda talks about doing positive acts, it is all just his hypocrisy. Because in his speech he is addressing what is a sadvipra etc, but he completely forgot about all those glorious ideals when he was SS In NY Sector. That time as SS he was greedily and illicitly selling Ananda Marga properties for his own gain and profit, and covering up the truth. Such crimes he committed, yet certainly that could not be the quality of an acarya or a sadvipra.

at His feet,
Vikash

So-called sacred land: Jamalpur + 2 more


Baba

So-called sacred land: Jamalpur

Namaskar,

Here is a short yet highly significant update from the recently Jamalpur DMS, 23 - 25 March 2018.

As you may know, Kali Pahar is one of the hills of Jamalpur where Baba used to walk. At the recent Jamalpur DMS, margiis were encouraged to collect and carry water (read as "holy water”) from a spring on that hilltop all the way back to their unit.
https://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com/


Ritual of collecting so-called holy water

How did this happen - what was the need? Well Dadas had their agenda in mind to give importance to the Jamalpur tiirtha program so they propagandized about the "holy water" of Kali Pahar. By this way they could build their tiirtha dynasty to create revenue. That was their impetus for creating this holy water ploy. On the other end, certain naive and simple margiis participated in this ritual of collecting so-called holy water in hopes of a quick-fix or shortcut way to get some grace. And others participated because it was similar to the Hindu dogma that they grew up with. Naturally, those margiis with a developed ideological understanding did not participate.

Ananda Marga ideology states, "The Supreme Being is omnipresent, all-pervading and witness to everything, everywhere. It is not proper to confine Him to a particular place and say that He has eaten butter at this place or taken a dip in the Ganges at that particular place, thus limiting Him to a particular region or a particular country or the glorification of a particular sacred place, and thereby limit His all-pervasiveness" (1)

The below newspaper article proclaims Jamalpur as the “Mecca” of Ananda Marga. 




The above newspaper article proclaims Jamalpur as the “Mecca” of Ananda Marga.

Holy water or polluted water


All in all, the recent scene at Kali Pahar uniquely resembles how dogmatic Hindus collect and carry water from the Ganges. Such dogmatic Hindus think this is holy water even though it is filthy dirty. "Ganga jal", as it is called, is sold at a costly rate around the globe. Religious traders and exploiters present it as being holy water, when in truth it nothing but polluted water from the so-called holy Ganges. But with this polluted Ganges water they those dogmatic priests make huge money.
https://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com/

Here below Baba points out the absurdity of thinking that the Ganges - or any water for that matter - is holy.

Ananda Marga ideology states, "If merely a dip in the Ganges made one holy, then the fish that are always in the river would be the most virtuous and holy. Pilgrims do not gain morally or spiritually from their holy baths, but, on the contrary, have to suffer bitter experiences – physical troubles, loss of money, mental anxiety, and humiliation at the hands of robbers and thieves." (2)


Why should we not encash like Hindus priests

Here is a short sampling how such dogmatic priests and businessmen promote this so-called holy water from the Ganges or Gangajal.
Gangajal commands a high value in Indian culture.  No ceremony, from birth to death, is complete and perfect without Gangajal. According to Maharishi Vedvyas the only way to fight the malefic effects of the Kalyuga, the holy water of Ganga should be used in all the religious ceremonies. If kept in the copper ‘Kalash’ in homes it gives holy vibrations and fights away evil and bad luck. It endows material prosperity and spiritual growth. (Courtesy of Gangajal website)
So the above is how the dogmatic Hindus have promoted the Gangajal, or Ganges holy water.

In a similar fashion, soon we will see Kali Pahar water sold at DMS, seminars, and even on-line and mail order. In order to pitch the business, stories will be propagated that someone with Alzheimer's or AIDS was cured by this "holy water", i.e. Kali Pahar Jal. Plus they will say how cancer, autism, heart disease are also fully curable. This "holy water" will have all the answers for today's problems. This will be their formal advertising message. Today they orally tell like this and soon they will have a developed business model reflecting this approach. After all, some of our opportunistic Dadas are not dumb; they figure, “Why should we not encash on this like Hindus priests have done.”

Now certain margiis have their own jal: Kali Pahar Jal or Jamalpur jal. This is the latest dogma that is unfolding. This time senior Dadas were able to convince margiis to collect and carry such water back to their home. The going myth is that one drop of this water is enough to cure one of sickness. Plus this water is needed at every Ananda Marga ceremony: baby naming, marriage blessing, shraddha etc. Thus the "phenomenon" of Kali Pahar jal is no different from the Hindu dogma of gangajal.

A cash cow

Why are Dadas encouraging this? Such dogmas give more power to religious traders, i.e. the priests, Wts, monks, rabbis, avadhutas, imams, clerics etc. It is an easy business. Common citizens are forced to reach to that place to collect and purchase their holy water. Then an entire enterprise is formed around this dogma with the potential for huge monetary gain. People get duped into thinking that the only way to be graced in this world is by collecting mundane things from their so-called holy land. That is the defective mindset. And for Dadas this is a big money-maker. Not all Wts and avadhutas are religious traders, but some are.

In contrast, if one propagates the dharmic point that Baba's grace is everywhere and is not limited to a certain place or to a certain jug of water, then that will rapidly undo the Kali Pahar dogma. So such Dadas do not talk about this. Just they promote the Hindu dogma of "holy water".

This is not limited to any particular group in our Marga. All the groups are fascinated by the concept of making big dollars from dogmatic rituals. It is the ultimate get-rich-quick model. That is why one can get such holy water in Tiljala as well by the site of the tomb. Hence all the leading groups do such things.


Unnecessary troubles and frustrations

Here below is Baba's dharmic teaching where He vividly opposes such dogmas like Ganagjal and Kali Pahar Jal.

Ananda Marga ideology says, "Now, if people, instead of searching for Him in their own “I” feeling, roam about in the external world, they will certainly meet with disappointment: they will have to undergo unnecessary troubles and frustrations, and Parama Puruśa will remain unrealized."
Átmanasthiitaḿ shivaḿ tyaktvá vahiśt́haḿ yah samarcayet
Hastasthaḿ pińd́am utsrjya bhramate jiivitáshayá.=
"How unreasonable it is to search externally for the Supreme Entity instead of searching within! It is like throwing away the foodstuff in one’s own hand, and then complaining of hunger and begging for alms from door to door. On the one hand Parama Puruśa is very vast; on the other hand He is very small. He is so vast that you cannot fully see Him." (3)

Baba's divine presence is all-pervasive. He resides within each and every entity - within the heart of every bhakta. The dogmas described above represent the latest groupist money-making scheme, i.e. holy water dogma in AMPS.

~ In-depth study ~


On this point, the dharmic teachings of Ananda Marga uses the example of Vyasa Deo who wrote so many puranas, or mythological stories, about the Lord. Vyasa Deo emphasized the importance of different places by telling that such-and -such location is more important because the Lord did certain special things there. Later on, after reflecting on this, Vyasa Deo expresses his repentance in the following shloka.

Ananda Marga ideology guides us:
Rúpaḿ rupavivarjjitasya bhavato yaddhyanena kalpitam
Stutyánirvacaniiyatákhilaguro duriikrta yanmaya
Vyapitvyam ca nirakrtam bhagavato yattirtha yatradina
Kśantavyaḿ jagadisho tadvikalatadostarayam matkrtam. (4)
Ananda Marga ideology states, "The Supreme Being is omnipresent, all-pervading and witness to everything, everywhere. It is not proper to confine Him to a particular place and say that He has eaten butter at this place or taken a dip in the Ganges at that particular place, thus limiting Him to a particular region or a particular country or the glorification of a particular sacred place, and thereby limit His all-pervasiveness" (5)

Natural deserts vs deforestation

Prout philosophy says, "Ecologists claim that some deserts are essential for keeping the global ecology in a balanced state. The high day temperatures and the cold night temperatures that occur in desert regions create a useful effect. The hot, dry desert air rises and creates a vacuum which sucks in cool air, generating a chain reaction. Moist air is sucked in from the sea and formed into clouds which then rain on the land. If deserts vanish entirely, the overall rainfall will be reduced." (1)

Note: Nowadays with the rapid increase of deforestation, we see desertification occurring across many land masses. This has had a horrific effect on ecological balance and human survival. However, one should not think that all deserts are inherently bad. Those regions that are natural deserts have a highly beneficial effect on the ecological balance.
