Samanvayánanda headache
Namaskár,
In the Prajiṋá Bhárati magazine, a highly objectionable sutra manufactured by Ac Samanvayananda has been published along with its purported meaning. The sutra creates a misunderstanding. It says that even if someone has an intense desire for Brahma Sádhaná, even then it is very difficult to get Sadguru. This is incorrect and contrary to Ánanda Márga ideology.
Dada Samanvayánanda makes example of the rśis and munis of the past who had strong longing for liberation, but even then they had to go through decades and decades of penance-- and even then could not get a proper guru.

With intense desire one attains Sadguru
According to Ánanda Márga ideology, intense desire for Brahma is the only factor to achieve the Sadguru, who guides one to achieve Brahma. It is Brahma’s duty to guide one who has an intense desire to attain Him.
Ánanda Márga ideology states - Muktyákáunkśayá sadgurupráptih (English Translation. Out of the intense desire for mukti (liberation), one attains one’s sadguru or perfect master). (1)
So there is a flaw in Samanvayánanda’s so-called sutra. Dádá Samanvayánanda says there have been so many cases in which the sadhaka had earnest desire to achieve liberation. In those cases, according to Dada Samanvayánanda, to get initiation those persons had to undergo decades of penance; even then they could not get Sadguru; rather, they got a fake guru. But contrary to this wrong understanding of Dada Samanvayánanda, Bábá teaches that it is guaranteed that Brahma will come before him as the Sadguru if the desire for liberation is earnest. So Samanvayánanda’s teaching is completely wrong, and is contrary to Ánanda márga ideology.
They got only a dogmatic, fake guru
Samanvayánanda claims that many rśis and munis of the past who had longing for liberation had to undergo decades of penance, but they could not get Sadguru. What to speak of Sadguru, they got only a dogmatic, fake guru. But as per Ánanda Márga ideology, sincere longing for liberation is the only factor needed for getting Sadguru.
There are many fake gurus who make their disciples go through hardships and waste their disciples’ precious time. A true Guru makes the best use of His disciple’s time and potential and all His actions are for the welfare of the disciple.

Conclusion
The sutra manufactured by Dádá Samanvayánanda is incorrect, and the Prajiṋá Bhárati editors issue have wrongly equated Dádá Samanvayánanda’s so-called sutra with the Ánanda Márga ideology.
Namaskár,
Bhakti
