Baba
How fake Vaniis invented
Namaskar,
In the post-1990 period, Dada Sarvatmananda was the first to bring Fake Ananda Vaniis onto the stage. Ac Sarvatmananda was controlling PP Dada Shraddhananda those days, so naturally he wanted PP Dada to have more and more power. Because that would give him (Sarvatmananda) more scope to rule.
With such an aim for power, Dada Sarvatmananda forced the Fake Ananda Vanii agenda onto PP Dada's lap. By that way, Sarvatmananda could spread any message he wanted; plus it would guarantee him more control over AMPS. In this way the Fake Ananda Vanii dogma started.

Sarvatmananda's dream: make PP like the Guru
The whole premise was that Dada Sarvatmananda wanted to make PP Dada into the unquestioned authority - as this would give maximum yield to him (i.e. to Dada Sarvatmananda). So Dada Sarvatmananda directed PP to assume all the roles of Guru, including creating Ananda Vaniis, just like Baba. But what PP created is fake because he is not Baba. This unfortunate strategy infiltrated numerous pathways.
All are aware that Sadguru Baba has composed His divine Prabhat Samgiita, so Sarvatmananda propagated PP's own collection of songs known as Shraddha Shuman. Indeed Dada Sarvatmananda was encouraging and forcing margiis to sing PP's silly things. Because in each and every sphere, Dada Sarvatmananda wanted PP to be like the Guru as this would give him huge control.
In the beginning of the Fake Ananda Vanii era, Dada Sarvatmananda simply told PP to make up his own Ananda Vanii and utterly disregard Baba's teachings. Just like in the manner in which Shraddha Shuman was done. But finally, Dada Sarvatmananda settled on creating Fake Ananda Vaniis. And those would be issued under PP's stamp of approval.

Fake Vaniis meant to pacify
From 1990 these Fake Ananda Vaniis just aimed at pacifying and appeasing Margiis so that they will remain passive and obedient to the powers that be. In that way, the Fake Ananda Vaniis got started and went on year after year.
For instance, while Baba's dharmic and original Ananda Vaniis are filled with spiritedness, courage, and the idea of actively fighting exploitation, in contrast the Fake Ananda Vaniis invented our respected Dadas aimed to make margiis passive - even indolent. Such leaders critically withdrew all the pra'na (i.e. life-force and fighting power) when making their Fake Ananda Vaniis.

But don't just take my word for it - see for yourself.
Here are but a few examples of Baba's dharmic expression in His original Ananda Vaniis:
(a) "...Inspire those who are liars and criminals to live honest lives by pointing out their defects..." - Ananda Vanii #8
(b) "...Yours should be a pauseless struggle against corruption, hypocrisy and animality." - Ananda Vanii #11
(c) "...Live for your ideology Die for your Ideology." - Ananda Vanii #14
Now compare that with the Fake Ananda Vaniis that our purodhas have made:
(a) "everything is to undergo changes and you should be ready to adapt yourself, to adjust yourself with those changed phases." (Fake Ananda Vanii January 2005)
(b) And like that over the years so many of the Fake Ananda Vaniis satisfy their own group interest of pacifying margiis and / or blindly supporting their group.
More groups then more Fake Ananda Vaniis
With the rise of the factional divisions etc came a new twist in the Fake Ananda Vanii drama. Namely, each group began creating their own Fake Ananda Vanii. Because as we know it was not too long before PP was brought under Rudrananda's control and Rudrananda too understood the method. So he ordered PP to continue to issue Fake Ananda Vaniis. Or rather, Rudrananda did so in PP Dada's name.

All the while, side by side, still Dada Sarvatmananda was making his own Fake Ananda Vaniis in order to "enhance his group's stature" and challenge as being the real ruling party. In this phase of division, the message of the Fake Ananda Vaniis has been aimed at rallying against the other group. Such Fake Ananda Vaniis since 2000 have been used to pronounce one's own group as being dharmic and the vying faction as adharmic. This has been the new role of those Fake Ananda Vaniis.
Here the main theme going on is that the dogma of the Fake Ananda Vanii is the brainchild of groupism. It is a fight for power and control between the groups. And as more factions come onto the scene, there will be more Fake Ananda Vaniis. Fake Ananda Vaniis are a sign of the times: groupism and division. They have no dharmic quality.
The whole use of these Fake Ananda Vaniis is to confuse and dupe naive margiis to come into their fold. The various camps create Fake Ananda Vaniis for this sole purpose: To establish their own legitimacy and power. The proof is that if you go back and see, it is quite evident how the Fake Ananda Vaniis are working in this manner: From 1990 - 2000, group leaders used Fake Ananda Vaniis to keep people obedient; and, since 2000 factional heads have used Fake Ananda Vaniis for bringing more supporters onto their side.
Conclusion
In their heart of hearts, these leaders know that their Fake Ananda Vaniis are just something concocted - i.e. Fake. But in their intense pride, they are unwilling to admit this. That is why, to this day, Dada Sarvatmananda will never come forward to wholeheartedly offer an apology and beg for forgiveness for inventing the dogma of Fake Ananda Vaniis.

Now, however, many margiis and field workers have rejected narrow-minded agendas and insisted that Baba's grand ideals be followed. This is the way things are now progressing, by His grace. That is why crude dogmas like so-called mahaprayan, Fake BP Manual, expulsion as a weapon, and Fake Ananda Vaniis are being torn down.
Because all recognise that only by following Baba can our AMPS society survive and thrive. Remaining in the grasp of various dogmas like Fake Ananda Vaniis only delays the resurgence of our AMPS society. That is why from east to west, many Ananda Margiis are rallying around Baba's original and true Ananda Vaniis. All want to follow Baba, not any other way that includes Fake Ananda Vaniis.
Here, I share with you one of His true and original Ananda Vaniis.
Ananda Vanii says, "The opportunists tried in the past, are trying at present and will try even in the future to fulfil their narrow desires by keeping the human race disunited. By severely reproaching this opportunistic craftiness through your noble deeds, you draw nigh the unknown strangers living far away and build a healthy world-based human family. Ignoring the brute forces, the sky-kissing arrogance, hypocrisy, immorality and glib outbursts of the conceited people, go ahead towards your cherished goal. The blessing of Parama Purus'a shall be with you alone." (A'nanda Va'nii #40)
In Him,
Kalyan dev

A few facts about Fake Ananda Vaniis
(A) Fake Ananda Vaniis are snippets that are cut and pasted from some other source - not from Baba’s original Ananda Vanii book. Those group leaders grab various lines and wrongly title that as “Ananda Vanii.” But that is not an Ananda Vanii. That is just their concoction. That is why we say those are Fake Ananda Vaniis.

(B) Baba’s true and original Ananda Vaniis are complete discourses unto themselves and have been given a specific Ananda Vanii number in His book Ananda Vanii Samgraha.
(C) Various group leaders fabricate their own Ananda Vaniis to pacify margiis and suit their group agenda. They want to turn their followers into passive elements who will sit quiet and blindly follow their command. This is the complete antithesis and against the dharmic spirit of Baba’s original Ananda Vaniis.
(D) True Ananda Vaniis are bullets of truth that stand as revolutionary calls to root out exploitation, fight against injustice, and expose hypocrisy.
