Baba
Didi D. muddled
Namaskar,
In the Gurukul magazine, one Didi has written that “Human beings are number one bad animal.” Hence, Didi is labeling and categorizing humans as animals.

Now we should see what Sadguru Baba says about this point.
Human beings are not animals
Sadguru Baba says, “I say repeatedly that I strongly object to human beings being defined as “rational animals”. How can human beings be rational animals? They are certainly not animals.” (1)
Ananda Marga ideology says, “Old logicians used to say that human are rational animals. I never say they are rational animals. I say that human life is an ideological flow. Why should I say humans are rational animals? Then should I say that animals are moving plants? I should not say this.” (2)
The divine teachings of Ananda Marga ideology make it cent-per-cent clear that humans do not come within the category of animals. To classify humans as being animals is completely wrong.

Conclusion
According to Sadguru Baba, human beings are not animals, thereby wholly refuting Didi’s claim. Didi is an avadhutika in Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha and she is supposed to be propagating Ananda Marga ideals. It will be best then for her and others (i.e. innocent readers etc) that Didiji first learn and study the teachings of Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji / Ananda Marga ideology before writing any public article etc. Then she will not misrepresent Guru’s teachings, undermine her own standing, and misguide others by stating that humans are “bad animals.”
In Him,

About this didi
The Didi who classified humans as animals is Avadhutika Ananda Devapriya Acarya. It is her article that appeared in Gurukul magazine (issue #41) which contravened Guru’s teachings and claimed that humans are bad animals.
Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji has given revolutionary ideas - and if dedicated Wts do not study His guidelines and instead preach dogma in the name of Ananda Marga then that is very painful. That is what has happened here.

Re: Greedy Cirasmita masquerades as beggar
Namaskar,
To donate money to someone who has more material wealth than you is wholly against the teachings of tapah. And it contravenes the spirit of service as well. That is why those common donors who are giving to Cirasmita are not following Baba's teachings of yama and niyama. And the root cause is due to Cirasmita's deceptive approach of posing as someone in great financial need when in most cases she has far more money than those naive donors who in their simplicity are giving her money.
Ananda Marga philosophy states, “In practising tapah you should always give consideration to those who are inferior to you and not to those who are superior. Your responsibility is greater for those who are weaker, poorer, less educated, more ignorant and downtrodden in comparison with you. Your responsibility is very little for those who are above your level, who are better off and more powerful than you. Therefore, you will have to ascertain with discrimination where your responsibility lies and to what extent; otherwise all your time, energy and labour employed in tapah will be in vain. To banquet the rich is of no use – give food to the starving. There is no need to send presents to your superiors – send medicine and food to the sick. Don”t waste your time in flattering the rich; it will yield no result. Conquer the hearts of the underprivileged by your sympathetic behaviour and accept them in your society.” (1)

Sinners & mahapatakiis
“Jaya bherii báje ácambite, kár iingite bolo…” (Prabhat Samgiita #4137)
Purport:
All of a sudden, the kettle drum of victory resounds. Who gave this command, upon whose order, tell me, tell me. The voice of that Entity is heard not only in the sky and infernal regions, but everywhere. I hear His cosmic trumpet in throughout the entire atmosphere. Now, stricken with fear, where have those sinners and mahapatakiis hidden themselves? All these incidents occurred on whose watch, on whose command?
The shadow of darkness which descended and overpowered righteousness in the past, and the delusive fog of maya which covered the whole universe with selfishness and the ignorance of materialism, and the devilish teeth which were ready to swallow everything, all these things were destroyed by the fire of Kalagni the great. Each one of these incidents happened on whose lookout, under whose direction?
Now on the eastern horizon the mountain is shining. It is beautified with the truth and straightness of dharma, Prout, and neo-humanism. Who has washed it with the flame of this panoramic colour? A universal, neo-humanistic society has been formed. All these incidents happened under whose watch, upon whose command?
