Baba
Ananda Vacanamrtam - 10 is also polluted #14
Namaskar,
Here we look at an entirely new discourse in this series of letters that examines the integrity of Baba’s printed discourses. This audio is from Kolkata (11 Apr 1979). And the scanned page is from the book Ananda Vacanamrtam - 10 (chapter #3, “Parama Puruśa – the Primordial Cause”).
As has been proven thus far, there is a massive disparity between what Baba actually spoke and what Tilaja Publications printed. Unfortunately, this new discourse is no different. Here again we invite you to compare the printed words with the Baba audio file (link below) of this same new discourse.
Not Baba's words
This below new discourse was given by Sadguru Baba primarily in English, but Tilajala Publications did not print it in an accurate manner, even though this is the English edition, and Baba’s audio was given mostly in English. In the below AV book scan, the red underlined words are not Baba’s direct terms. Rather Dada Sarvatmananda and Tiljala Publications polluted the book by inserting their own words.
All this is extremely important because when sadhakas pick-up one of Baba’s books they expect to be reading Baba’s words. This is especially the case when Baba delivered His new discourse primarily in English and the text is also mostly in English. Yet, as is shown below, we are not given Baba’s exact words - but rather something else in the name of Baba. It is not the direct speech of Parama Purusa Baba. That is wrong; and, that is the heart of the issue at hand.
Please listen to the sound file of Baba’s new discourse.
Look at the below scan: In just 4 lines of the new discourse there are 16 wrong words that have been inserted into the printed text which are not present in Baba’s original audio. In addition, there are numerous words Baba spoke which they failed to transcribe. These red underlined words are fraudulent and garbage terms. Verily, Tiljala Publications polluted the book.
Please listen to the sound file of Baba’s new discourse.
Please see this new scan and start listening from 0:03 minute mark. The red underlined words are all bogus and fabricated. You will not find these words in Bábá’s audio. Plus there are many words
Baba spoke which are missing. This is just gross adulteration.

Rudrananda reprints & sells same distorted, altered books
The discourses Tiljala Publications (TP) published in the Ananda Vacanamrtam series are filled with gross discrepancies and errors. This is readily apparent when comparing TP's printed AV books with what Baba spoke, i.e. the original sound files of those same discourses. And that deviation is the focal point of this letter. Bábá has spoken one thing, whereas they have printed something entirely different. Whatever Bábá spoke, they distorted and printed in those books that were primarily or exclusively in English and Hindi. Unfortunately, Rudrananda's group reprints and sells those same distorted, altered Baba books in their own name. Sadly, they have not an iota of interest in fixing the discourses.
Please listen to the sound file of Baba’s discourse.
Conclusion
The time has come for margiis and Wts to remake all of Sadguru Baba’s book using the sound files of Baba’s discourses.
In Him,
Pralayankar Deva
Note: Today we could only do this much so tomorrow we will do more.
Please listen to the sound file of Baba’s discourse.

"Scripture must be flawless"
Ananda Marga philosophy says, "You must see to it that no irrational, undesirable or detrimental theory is propagated in the external world, which can harmfully influence the human mind. You must be ever-vigilant in this regard. That is why I told you to be vocal against all sorts of injustice. Otherwise your goal will not be achieved." (Neo-Humanism: Liberation of Intellect, Discourse 7)
Ananda Marga philosophy guides us, "The scriptures containing spiritual injunctions must be totally flawless. And the pioneering personality must be a strict and benevolent guardian with unyielding conviction." (Namah Shivaya Shantaya, page .200, Edition 1995)
Ananda Marga philosophy says, "The spirit of the message of scripture is conveyed to the readers in a language that touches the deepest chords of the human heart. It is meant to provide inspiration to the seekers of truth. The scripture arouses deep devotional sentiments." (Tattva Kaomudii - 2, 'Our Spiritual Treatise)
Ananda Marga philosophy teaches us, "There must be an excellent and all-embracing philosophy, in which there should be no loophole in any sphere of mind as far as possible." (Namah Shivaya Shantaya '95 edition, page.196)
Ananda Marga philosophy states, "Absolute knowledge is the direct message from God...The books in A'nanda Ma'rga philosophy are all absolute knowledge." (Prout in a Nutshell- part 18, page 10)
