Open-mouthed didi


Note: Please bear in mind that this letter is not for those who do not give importance to Baba's divine teachings and / or are emotionally attached with a particular dada, didi, or group.

Namaskar,
Baba has given this following conduct rule for WT didis:

“Avadhutika should not laugh loudly.” (32 Rules for Avadhutikas, point #1)

So Sadguru Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji has given rules and regulations for various grades of His disciples: margiis, wts, Dadas, and Didis etc - each have their own related conduct rules. And if one does not follow those rules they are deemed as indisciplined disciples.

Not only that, not following the conduct rules creates a bad precedence in society. Our Wts are donned in saffron dress. So people respect our Wts for following certain disciplines in life.

It is just like in town, people have inherent respect for the police because of their uniform. And the proof is that if those same police officers walk the streets in their underwear then they will not be held in high regard. Rather they will be fined and arrested.

Here the point is that those in a particular dress draw respect from others. Accordingly, our Wt Didis and Dadas are held in high regard because they are the icons of Ananda Marga in the general society. All the while, strict discipline is a key aspect of Wt life.

Here again is that conduct rule which Baba has given for WT didis:

“Avadhutika should not laugh loudly.” (32 Rules for Avadhutikas, point #1)



This Didi is not following Baba's given conduct rule so she is indisciplined.

Namaskar,
In Him,

Note: Please bear in mind that this above letter is not for those who do not give importance to Baba's divine teachings and / or are emotionally attached with a particular dada, didi, or group.

Here again is that conduct rule which Baba has given for WT didis:

“Avadhutika should not laugh loudly.” (32 Rules for Avadhutikas, point #1)

~ In-depth study ~

It is not that didis cannot ever laugh out loud- they can laugh loudly in their private quarters, bedroom, inner chambers but not in public or on display in Facebook etc. This rule was given by Sadguru to maintain the integrity and sanctity of Wt Didis. Otherwise in this male dominated world they would not be taken seriously.

It is like when soldiers march on Independence Day etc and public is watching then those soldiers do not laugh. But later on they do laugh in their barracks and inner chambers.

Didi displayed this photo on the WWD website for all to see thereby creating a very negative trend.

पाप नहीं देंगे

“ये जो तगड़े भक्त हैं, वे नहीं चाहेंगे कि अपना पाप परमपुरुष को दें | वे कहेंगे—"नहीं-नहीं, तुमको मिठाई देंगे, फूल देंगे, यह देंगे, माला देंगे | पाप नहीं देंगे, पाप नहीं देंगे | हमारे पाप का बोझा हम्हीं को ढोने दो"—यही कहेंगे | किन्तु परमपुरुष का तो बहुत प्यारा है मनुष्य | उनके भक्त बहुत प्यारे हैं | तो, इसलिए परमपुरुष क्या करते हैं ?  उनसे permission नहीं लेकर, उनका पाप ले लेते हैं | किसी से permission नहीं लेकर, अगर किसी की चीज़ तुम ले लिए, तो उसको कहते हैं चोरी करना | To take something without permission | उसको चोरी कहते हैं | तो, परमपुरुष चोरी करते हैं | क्या चोरी करते हैं ?  पाप | Permission माँगने से, अनुमति माँगने से भक्त अनुमति नहीं देंगे | बोलेंगे—"नहीं, और सब कुछ देंगे, पाप नहीं देंगे, आपको |" तो, पाप को वे चोरी करते हैं | चोरी करते हैं इसलिए उनका नाम है हरि | हरि की शरण में आ गए हो | और घबड़ाने की बात नहीं है |”

Dada Guniindrananda’s debauched way

Note 1: Please bear in mind that this letter is not for those who do not give importance to Baba's divine teachings and / or are emotionally attached with a particular dada or group.

Note 2: This letter is written according to the standard of Ananda Marga. Our Ananda Marga does not appreciate or subscribe to materialistic, pseudo-culture values prevalent nowadays. One should always remember that Ananda Marga is a revolution and Baba has created Ananda Marga to eradicate all sorts of pseudo-culture.


Namaskar,
As we know, our Ananda Marga magazines are for the propagation of Ananda Marga ideals, not pseudo-culture values.

Yet look here at this photo from cover of a recent Ananda Yuga magazine. Such a photo utterly contravenes countless aspects of our Ananda Marga Way of Life, yet the Ananda Yuga magazine editor has selected this image for the cover of our Ananda Marga magazine - Ananda Yuga.





Certainly, every sincere Ananda Margii will understand the ills and dogmas related with this photo. Even then for your convenience, here is a short list for your review.


Vital points to ponder

1. In the Ananda Yuga magazine, the woman displayed on cover page is half-naked and that type of revealing dress contravenes our social code - Caryacarya. One should always remember that Ananda Marga is a revolution and Baba has created Ananda Marga to eradicate all sorts of pseudo-culture. Those who are submerged in and wholly adapted with pseudo-culture will think this is fine. But it is not fine according to Ananda Marga.

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, “While going out of their house, women should wear simple and decent clothes and cover their bodies properly.” (1)

Yet, in the Ananda Yuga magazine, the woman displayed is dressed according to pseudo-culture values wearing sleeveless tops and tight-fitting clothing etc, and this is completely against the ethics of Ananda Marga.

2. The Ananda Yuga magazine is in Hindi only so most readers will be from the Indian subcontinent. Yet here, a white western woman is on display - further infusing a cultural inferiority complex upon Hindi speakers etc. Already, since the British rule, India has surrendered itself to European dominance and western values. And this photo further cements this idea in the minds of Hindi readers.

3. New margiis who are not aware about Ananda Marga ideals will get the wrong idea that Ananda Marga is submerged in pseudo-culture by seeing this photo in the Ananda Yuga magazine. They will think we are just a carbon copy of so many fake yoga outfits that are sprouting up all over the place. They will not realise that ours is a true tantric path.

Keeping the above points in mind kindly again see the photo up above which appears on cover page of Ananda Yuga, Hindi.


Editor Dada Guniindrananda selling out to pseudo-culture

In all circumstances our aim is to preach and demonstrate Ananda Marga ideology: To teach genuine points of bhagavad dharma - not compromise with the ways of pseudo-culture. The entire world is waiting for something great to happen, i.e. to receive the teachings of Sadguru. Yet here we see our Ananda Yuga editor Ac Guniindrananda jii is selling-out and surrendering to materialistic, societal trends.

All this is going on in the name of our Ananda Marga magazine - Ananda Yuga. People are bound to think that Ananda Marga yoga is something cheap and commercial, not dharmic and righteous. Because they see that the Ananda Yuga editor Dada Guniindrananda is teaching yoga by splashing photo of half-naked females in their magazine and preaching the virtues of pseudo-culture values etc. It is really an awful scene and I feel badly how the Ananda Yuga editor Guniindrananda jii has fallen in this manner.

By failing to live up to the ideal of our Ananda Marga ideology, Ac Guniindrananda jii  verily depriving humanity of dharmic teachings. Their duty is to spread dharma but they are doing just opposite.


It denigrates young women as sex objects

Everybody knows that the entire society is plagued by the dominance of sexual display. Females are being exploited. When companies want to sell something then they must place half-naked photos of women to allure customers. By this way female exploitation is going on. Women are looked upon as sex objects. Baba created Ananda Marga to save this situation but this Dada is plunged in pseudo-culture, unfortunately. In getting caught up in the winds of fake yoga, Ac Guniindrananda jii blatantly contradicts his conduct rules and vows:

Caryacarya states, “While going out of their house, women should wear simple and decent clothes and cover their bodies properly.” (2)

Contradiction: Instead of adhering to Guru’s above guideline, Dada Guniindrananda has put a young woman on display whose top portion is only half-covered. This is in clear violation of Guru’s above teaching - “cover their bodies properly.” Yet Guniindrananda jii selected and placed this degrading and denigrating photo on the very cover of the magazine.

Sadguru Baba says, "Avadhuta shall treat every woman of the world, including his ex-wife, as mother." (3)

Contradiction: Instead of treating females as mother Ananda Yuga chief editor Dada Guniindrananda is denigrating them as sex objects etc.


Conclusion

By the above it is quite evident that Dada Guniindrananda jii has fallen from the path and slipped into the dungeon of materialistic pseudo-culture. Dada jii’s mind has degenerated from the path of renunciation as he is indulged in lower propensities. By his actions - (a) the above photo on his Facebook page and in the magazine and (b) his selling of women’s clothing - it is clear Dada jii is degenerated. Ananda Marga ideology guides one thing and Ac Guniindrananda jii is doing something completely different. That is the sad state of affairs.

Namaskar,
in Him,
Nirmala' Singh


Dada Guniindrananda sells ladies garments

Dadaji has weakness towards women and that is why he sells women garments from head to toe in DMS, or in reporting. You must have seen his stall of female clothes in Ananda Nagar. Dadaji’s weakness towards women is not hidden. Rather it is quite well known. It is shameful that Dadaji is engrossed in the very engagement which Sadguru Baba strictly forbids.


Who is the culprit

Some naive persons might claim that the real culprits are the editorial staff. But the fact is that the staff will not dare do anything against the wishes of the editor Dada Guniindrananda jii. And this is Ananda Marga; Dada Guniindrananda is running the show. He is the editor and he is the culprit. And top of all he has put this very half-naked image on his own personal Facebook page.


Ananda Yuga - issue #3 - Year 36 (Dec 2015)

Editor: Ac Guniindrananda Avt - As the editor he is most responsible for this sin.


Will have to face the consequences

Directly or indirectly supporting any sin is also a sin. That is why I request these below listed good margiis not to associate themselves with this magazine. One must keep away from this magazine the way one stays away from the ebola virus. This magazine is propagating false things. Would they like it if their daughters or granddaughters were displayed in this way - exposing most of their skin etc.

So if any margii supports this magazine, they will have to face the consequences of the cosmic operative principle - so watch out.  Below is the list of some of the names listed on the editor’s page.

Co-Editor: RP Singh

Decoration Dept:
Ajay Kumar Deva
Amod Kumar Sharma

Editorial Staff:
Shrii RL Sharma
Shrii Diliip Sagar
Shrii Chakradhar Shastri
Shrii Ram Ujagir Choudhury
Shrii Ac Diip Narayan
Shrii Sunil Ananda


Why Siddhasana is bad for women

On the cover of the Ananda Yuga magazine (AY), the woman in the photo is sitting in an asana which is forbidden for women, i.e. siddhasana. Baba has given biological reasons why women should not sit in siddhasana. For in-depth reasoning on this, kindly refer to the first link in the links section below.

And here is another point.

- “Do not cut the hair of the joints of the body.” (4)

Contradiction: Instead of adhering to Guru’s above guideline, Guniindrananda jii picked up half-naked photo from the web that portray women according to western, pseudo-culture values where women’s underarm hair most likely has been shaved off to make them more alluring to men.


Joint hair


Some may raise the point that her underarm is not visible. But the answer is very simple. Those women who use this type of pseudo-culture dress generally shave their underarm hair as they think it is alluring not to have joint hair. This idea has been imposed on them by the male dominated fashion / nude industry.

By seeing the dress, you can see in (a) games and sports, (b) swimming events, (c) at the Olympics, (d) in the beauty and yoga fashion industry etc there is never any hair in that region. If a female is wearing bikini or sleeveless top at a fashion show then they do not keep the joint hair. And this above photo was taken by Dada Guniindrananda from a fake yoga fashion website. That is why most probably the woman does not have any underarm hair.

By the above it is quite evident that Dada Guniindrananda jii has fallen from the path and slipped into the dungeon of materialistic pseudo-culture. Dada jii’s mind has degenerated from the path of renunciation as he is indulged in lower propensities. By his actions - (a) the above photo on his Facebook page and in the magazine and (b) his selling of women’s clothing - it is clear Dada jii is degenerated. Ananda Marga ideology guides one thing and Ac Guniindrananda jii is doing something completely different. That is the sad state of affairs.

Nasty deeds of Avadhuta + 4 more

Baba

This email contains five sections:
1. Posting: See how one avadhuta is destroying Ananda Marga
2. Hindi Quote: कुत्ते, गाय, और बन्दर साधना
3. PS #777: Depending on You alone, the boat of my life is floating

See how one avadhuta is destroying Ananda Marga

Namaskar.
Baba took great efforts to give dictation on thousand of pages of Ananda Marga philosophy and now, one after another, certain dirty people are destroying His divine teachings.

Please carefully see the photo. On this Fake Lord Shiva photo, one lady has made her home in the matted locks of Lord Shiva's hair. Those matted locks are so large they became the home of one lady. And her name is Gaunga. That is Hindu mythology.



Unfortunately, in the above image the avadhuta is promoting this bogus Hindu dogma in the name of Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji. If this avadhuta had done this in his own name that would have been less devious. But he chose the worst way - he implicated Sadguru Baba in this scandalous affair - and by this way this avadhuta is trying to destroy Ananda Marga teachings in the mind of the general public. The avadhuta who did like this has inserted his name (Hindi) in the lower left corner of the above image.


Hinduism is just a bag of rotten outdated dogmas

Those educated people who think that Hinduism is just a bag of rotten outdated dogmas will think that Ananda Marga is the same. This whole affair is unfortunate. Here is a point by point listing and analysis.

#1: The lady (Gaunga) in Lord Shiva’s matted locks is a prevalent Hindu dogma. But the deviousness of that avadhuta does not end there. Here is the next hypocrisy.

#2: The above photo shows a crescent moon on the left temple of fake Lord Shiva. This is also one dogma according to Baba. Because the real Lord Shiva does not have a crescent moon on His temple. Yet the deviousness of that avadhuta does not end there. Here is the next hypocrisy.

#3: On fake Lord Shiva's right palm, there is a tattoo of omnkara in Devanagari script. That is another dogma this avadhuta is imposing on the entire society. But as we know during Lord Shiva’s time, 7000 years ago, there was no script. Script had not yet been invented so the people did not know how to write. It is just Hindu dogma to place omnkara in devanagari script on fake Lord Shiva’s palm.

Baba took great efforts to give dictation on thousand of pages of Ananda Marga philosophy and now, one after another, certain dirty people are destroying His divine teachings.

#4: Next, see how the photo portrays a birth defect where there is a third eye which runs vertically on the forehead of the fake Lord Shiva. This is also one Hindu dogma. Ananda Marga philosophy rejects portraying Lord Shiva in this way. Even then the deviousness of that avadhuta does not end there. Here is the next hypocrisy.

#5: There are three white horizontal marks on across the forehead of the fake Lord Shiva. This stands as another dogma as it represents the joining of two Hindu sects - Shaevism and Vashnavism.  This also Baba condemns. On the real historical Shiva nothing was there - there were no such marks.

#6: Plus the photo depicts the tone of the fake Lord Shiva’s skin is the wrong colour. And the deviousness of that avadhuta does not end there. Here is the next hypocrisy.

#7: Warning below is not for all: graphic terms

Warning: This next section contains graphic terms and descriptions. This is only for those dharmikas with a keen interest to eradicate the dogma of phallus worship. 


The fake Lord Shiva is doing idol worship. In this photo, the idol is on his chest. It is a stone phallus which is fixed on top of the female genitalia. The male symbol is vertical and the female symbol is horizontal. In the Hindu religion it is called the Lord Shiva phallus.

It is hypocritical and ludicrous that Lord Shiva is worshiping Lord Shiva’s phallus. On the phallus there two marks and on top there is a flower to show that Lord Shiva is worshiping the phallus. And on the genitalia there are four white coloured flowers and other pink flowers.

Together it is the idol of phallus. Dogmatic people call it Shivalingua. So it is obvious that the whole thing is preposterous - can you imagine Lord Shiva worshiping Lord Shiva’s phallus. Yet that is exactly what this avadhuta is glorifying.


#8: And verily if one looks at this photo more minutely, they will see countless flaws / dogmas - but I am stopping here...


Summary

This is all rotten Hindu dogma. When I see this done in the name of Marga Guru then at first my heart sank - I thought how these worthless and monstrous avadhutas will destroy Ananda Marga. Then after a few moments I got assurance from Baba that there are many right thinking margiis & wts who will give a good lesson to this sinner who is moving around in the garb of an avadhuta. This must end - we have to save Baba's teachings.

See this, how will the common people will think that Ananda Marga is not revolution; rather they will think it is a bogus collection of Hindu dogma.

The name of the Dada who is responsible for all of this has been enlisted below.

In Him,
Amiy Basu

Who is behind this


This entire scene was printed in a leading Hindi newspaper published in Delhi on 01 March 2016 - just a few days ago in commemoration for the dogmatic festival Maha Shivratri - the night of Shiva - on March 7.  The avadhuta who did this is Ac Divyacetanananda // Divyachetanananda. By his approach he was signaling to dogmatic Hindu worshipers that, “We in Ananda Marga are with you in this dogma.” This was done with a specific intention to show allegiance to Hindus. This proves that Dada Divyacetanananda is an infiltrator from the Hindu religion to destroy Ananda Marga. And he is playing his role beautifully - befooling margiis and doing the work of Hindu fundamentalists.




In-depth study

By using Devanagari script to write omnkara is a kind of  Hindi imperialism as that can be written in any language. Why only Hindi?

Omnkara cannot be pronounced and this symbol is not meant to be worshipped but Dadaji is promoting this as a form of worship of omnkara.

By the above photo the fake Lord Shiva is showing omnkara as an ista mantra, but in Ananda Marga omnkara is not one of the ista mantras.

Depending on You alone, the boat of my life is floating 


(Note: Only those who sincerely practice the higher lessons of sahaja yoga meditation can understand this song in the depths of their heart.)   

"Toma'ri bharasa'y ma'jh-dariya'y, bhese ja'y jiivanatarii a'ma'r..." (Prabhat Samgiit #777)

Purport:

O' Parama Purusa, depending on You alone, the boat of my life is floating along in the midst of the stormy sea, by Your grace. With Your care, I am carrying on with my life in stormy days. My boat floats on. Even while surrounded by hurricanes and confronted with high tidal waves, the boat of my life never stops nor do I cry loudly in fear or become panicked. Because You are with me to save me. So why should I be scared or nervous about the calamity and horrifying conditions on my path. Everything is in Your hand. You are the Saviour.

O' Parama Purusa Baba, with full trust on You alone, the boat of my life is floating along safely in the midst of the stormy sea, by Your grace.

O' Parama Purusa, You are grace personified and the abode of compassion. You are the solution to every problem. I always remember You - You are always in my thoughts. It is Your grace that I do pranam again and again at Your rosy feet and surrender myself completely.  With Your blessings I move ahead smiling, carrying the particles of Your grace with me. Your blessings and Your grace propel me onwards in my journey.

O' Parama Purusa Baba, with full trust on You alone, the boat of my life is floating along safely in the midst of the stormy sea, by Your grace.

O' Parama Purusa, by Your melody, rhythm, and love, the divine sweetness is collected in the pollen of my heart. Meditating on You, my existence becomes full of bliss. By always chanting Your name and constantly singing Your song, I realized that You are the Essence of essence. You are my Dearmost. It is Your grace

O' Parama Purusa Baba, with full trust on You alone, the boat of my life is floating along safely in the midst of the stormy sea, by Your grace.

Baba, I surrender at Your feet...



== Section 4: Important Teaching ==

Incantation & mantra not the same thing

Ananda Marga ideology states, “The English term incantation just means 'repeating something again and again'. That is incantation. So incantation does not lead to liberation. Whereas the repetition of mantra leads to liberation. So incantation and mantra are not the same thing. There is no proper English word for the Sanskrit word mantra. Although we use the word 'incantation' for mantra but it is not the proper word for the Sanskrit term ‘mantra.’” (1)

"In Sanskrit the term Mantra means Manana't talrayet yastu sah mantra parikiirttiah-- 'Manan means 'inner suggestion', 'repetition within'. And Tarayet yastu - 'after this manan, when that entity liberates you from all metaphysical, all psychic and suprapsychic and also from all spiritual bondages, then it is known as mantra: Manana't ta'rayet yastu sa mantrah parikiirtitah." (2)


Note: As explained in Guru’s above teaching, the term “incantation” simply means to repeat a word or phrase over and over again. For instance, if one repeats, 'Tom, Dick, and Harry', 'Tom, Dick, and Harry' again and again, then that very repetition is an incantation. Because incantation just refers to saying or chanting the same words in a repetitive style, again and again. There is no requisite for spiritual growth per se and an incantation does not lead to one’s liberation.

Whereas when a mantra is repeated with proper ideation, then the aspirant will progress along the path of spirituality and be granted liberation. The repetition of a mantra brings about that particular result. And that is the essential difference between incantation and mantra. The repetition of a mantra leads to liberation, while an incantation does not. That is why we say that the English term incantation does not accurately represent the term mantra.

Ac Sujit ji Plagiarised

BÁBÁ

This email contains two sections:
1. Posting: Plagiarism by Ac Sujit ji
2. Links


Ac Sujit ji Plagiarised

Namaskár,
Táraka Brahma Bábá with His advent spiritually vibrated the entire humanity via His Divine teachings. His teachings are expressed in the form of numerous discourses and Prabhát Samgiitas. As the disciples of Lord Shri Shri Ánandmurtiji we are to follow these teachings in our own lives as well as do a pracár of these teachings to help the humanity.

In the process of doing pracár many márgiis write articles based on Bábá’s teachings. This is very good and very much required. In these articles, however, one needs to cite Bábá, particularly when one uses a quote or a passage directly from Bábá’s discourses. This is required for two important reasons, (#1) to avoid the pitfall of plagiarism and to follow the rule of the literary / academic world, and (#2) to make it clear which sentences are written by the writer and which ones are directly Bábá’s words.

The first aforementioned point is quite obvious and needs no further explanation. Regarding the second point, it must be said that in case of any ideological deviations found in the article written by the márgii writer, the review will be easy and a systematic procedure can be followed to detect the errors. With a lack of such citations, it will be impossible to segregate wheat from the chaff. Moreover, such indiscriminate copying can lead to corruption and distortion of Ánanda Márga teachings in a longer run.


How Ac Sujitji stole from Guru’s original discourse

Ac Sujit ji wrote an article entitled "Beyond the Vail of Mind" which appears in Prajiná Bháratii #253 (January 2016 issue) on pages 4 - 7. Unfortunately, in his article (Prajiná Bháratii #253, page 6, left column, para #2), Ac Sujit ji copied one entire paragraph from Bábá’s discourse.

To make this parargaph, Ac Sujit ji copied the below yellow highlighted sections of the following passages from Bábá’s original discourse “Mind, Práńendriya and Vrtti”.

Sadgru Baba says, “Mind is a state in the process of Brahma Cakra. It, being the result of changing positions, is essentially a stage in the process of motion, and implies a momentum which it has to express. To find expression the mind adopts certain inter- and intra-ectoplasmic occupations. These occupations (love, hatred, fear, etc.) are known as vrtti. In other words, vrtti may be defined as ‘the way of expression of mind’. On the psychic level this occupation is called ‘expressed sentiment’.” (1)

Sadguru Baba says, “These subsidiary glands are the sub-stations of organs whose main controlling station, as already discussed, is located in the brain. For the evolution of saḿkalpátmaka and vikalpátmaka mind (the mind is said to be saḿkalpátmaka when its internal occupations lead towards the Great, and vikalpátmaka when they lead towards the mundane or crude) and for the creation of external waves, the help of the organs has to be taken. This help is also essential for crude manifestation in the physical stratum and other multifarious activities. The subtle brain does not work directly. It requires cruder sub-stations under its control.” (1)

Sadly, Ac Sujit ji lifted these yellow sections from Baba’s original discourse - “Mind, Práńendriya and Vrtti” - and claimed them as his own by presenting them as a paragraph (Prajiná Bháratii #253, page 6, left column, para #2) of his article.

The main problem here is not that Ac Sujit ji used Bábá’s words in his article but the fact that he did not cite Bábá. The ideal way of writing in this case would have been that Bábá’s passages were put under quotation marks and the discourse name be cited in a reference section. The presentation done by Prajiná Bháratii is a clear case of plagiarism. This shows the poor editorship and a lack of an eye for detail in Prajiná Bháratii’s editorial team. Being entrusted with the important task of pracár, Prajiná Bháratii’s editorial team is expected to be much more active and careful.


Conclusion

Pracár of Bábá’s teachings must be done and articles written for doing so is a need of the hour. However, proper protocol for writing and proper citation must be followed to make the whole process of pracár streamlined and authentic. Ac Sujit ji’s article published in Prajiná Bháratii #253 (January 2016 issue) consists of several passages directly copied from the Guru’s discourse without proper citations and quotation marks. This is a case of plagiarism and should have been detected and fixed at the editorial level in Prajiná Bháratii. The lack of such care raises serious questions on the competence of Prajiná Bháratii editorial team for the task of pracár. Such callousness may lead to corruption and distortion in the Ánanda Márga teachings and must be addressed to vigorously by Prajiná Bháratii team.

Namaskar,
In Him,
Bhakti


Such Prajiná Bháratii Editors are notorious

The below listed Prajiná Bháratii in-charges are responsible - they must have encouraged Ac Sujit ji to plagiarise Guru’s discourse. Verily the Prajiná Bháratii editors are notorious and infamous for this as they themselves have been caught red-handed in the past. So these the editors themselves have committed plagiarism. On one such occasion they stole directly from Guru’s book “Ananda Marga Elementary Philosophy.”

Only cowards can steal from Baba and not give credit and just stick their own name in the by-line. And now they taught that same trick to Ac Sujit ji. Because actually Ac Sujit Kumar ji is himself an academic (retired professor) so he knows not to steal material directly from published books. So these editors must have goaded and encouraged him to do so. Such editors are worthless and shameless people.

- Prajiná Bháratii #253

Those interested in seeing the plagiarised paragraph and Ac Sujitji’s article in Prajiná Bháratii should let us know.

Kewal Sinha falsely propagates on his FB

Kewal Sinha propagates Fake BP Manual as real one

Namaskar,
Most are aware that Dada Sarvatmananda created the Fake BP Manual in order to exploit margiis. To this end, Dada Sarvatmananda gave the order to Dada Sambhutyananda to compile and publish the Fake BP manual (1997).

And now one margii is promoting that very Fake BP Manual on his Facebook page, unfortunately. Everybody knows this Fake Manual is the tool to make margiis subservient to a few exploiters who are controlling the various H and B factions of Ananda Marga.

Who does not know that Dada Rudrananda later adopted this Fake BP Manual and implemented it in his H group faction.

So it is sad how this confused margii Kewal Sinha falsely propagates the Fake Sarvatmananda BP Manual as being real the Bhukti Pradhan manual. Indeed, it is almost pitiful that this margii has no idea what he is telling.

Not only that, see the underlined words in red that represent some of the innumerable unideological points that are rampant throughout the Fake BP Manual.

See the below scan of Kewal Sinha’s Facebook page where Kewal Sinha falsely propagates Dada Sarvatmananda’s Fake BP Manual as being the real Bhukti Pradhan manual.




Namaskar,
in Him,
Ramashray

How Dada Rudrananda destroyed NY sector by his stooge Vimalananda


Baba

This email contains two sections:
1. Posting: How Dada Rudrananda destroyed NY sector by his stooge Vimalananda
2. Links



How Dada Rudrananda destroyed NY sector
by his stooge Vimalananda

Note: If you do not care about Baba’s teachings, rules, and regulations etc this letter is not for you.

Namaskar,
Here is the story of how NY sector was destroyed by Dada Rudrananda. Dada Rudrananda allegedly ordered the sale of so many properties and eradicated all Baba’s rules and regulations regarding the organisational structure - as Rudrananda gave significant posts to ex-Wts in NY sector etc. So here the real demon is Rudrananda. That is what is demonstrated in this letter. Dada Rudrananda executed all by his sycophant Vimalananda.

All know that Baba is very strict that those degraded workers who left their acaryaship would never get any post in the organisation (AMPS) from the village level up to the post of purodha pramukha.


How one ex-Wt become president


At present there is an ex-Wt didi in Guatemala who goes by the name of Anuvrata. And this is the story of how this sister Anuvrata (i.e. ex-Wt)  was made the President of Ananda Marga Guatemala. Because as we know, ex-Wts cannot hold any post or position of authority. Yet, somehow this sister became the top Ananda Marga postholder in the whole country. And here is how it happened.


“Pay to play” in Ananda Marga


After sister Anuvrata left her Wt-ship she married Vikash of USA. And brother Vikash allegedly gave Vimalananda $7000 USD (seven thousands dollars). And for various perks, Dada Rudrananda has given Dada Vimalananda the green light to do, give, or trade anything.

So when the presidency of Ananda Marga Guatemala opened up then Dada Rudrananda ordered Vimalananda to do the needful. Up until that time, brother Yuktatman had faithfully served in that post of President of Ananda Marga Guatemala. But when it became clear that he could no longer continue due to personal / health reasons, then the stooge Dada Vimalananda seized upon the opportunity and unilaterally anointed brother Vikash’s wife, i.e. Anuvrata, the ex Wt didi, as President of Ananda Marga Guatemala in Feb 2015.

This was 100% the decision of Rudrananda as this issue was never discussed in RDS nor in the SEC meetings. As the stooge of Dada Rudrananda, Dada Vimalananda acted unilaterally and made ex-Wt Didi Anuvrata (now wife of Brother Vikash) president of Ananda Marga Guatemala without any review or resolution from any committee etc. In essence, you can say the Ananda Marga presidency of Guatemala was sold - with all the benefits allegedly going to Centre, i.e. Dada Rudrananda.


A long and checkered history:
the selling of AM properties in NY sector


Still the story does not end there. Because, under the guidance and protection of Rudrananda, Dada Vimalananda has a long and checkered history of selling Ananda Marga lands and properties which he brokered for Rudrananda. Numerous buildings and plots in Mexico and the NY office - as well as other places - were sold with Dada Rudrananda being benefited in so many ways. And for some while, the only Ananda Marga master unit in Guatemala has also been up for sale. So that also figures into this whole equation.

Such is the type of mess that Dada Rudrananda has created as he pulls his stooge Vimalananda out of the sector and inserts his new SS of NY sector Dada Abhiramananda. Vimalananda served his master Rudrananda well while in NY sector, so he (Rudrananda) has rewarded Vimalananda with a global posting (SGPU) for his blind obedience and for carrying out Dada Rudrananda's order for the sale of prime real estate in NY sector. 

All know that Baba is very strict that those degraded workers who left their acaryaship would never get any post in the organisation (AMPS) from the village level up to the post of purodha pramukha.

Namaskar,
in Him,
Iishvarii
Isabel Fernandez


Below is Dada Vimalananda

Up till recently, Dada Vimalananda was SSNY, and throughout his tenure he had a dark history of wrongly giving posts to ex-Wts and selling Ananda Marga properties. After years of arranging all the perks from NY land dealing for Dada Rudrananda in Centre, Dada Rudrananda has rewarded Vimalananda with a global post - SGPU (Secretary General of Proutist Universal). And indeed, it has been Dada Rudrananda all along who has been controlling all the shots and guiding his obedient servant, Vimalananda. The lingering effects are rampant across NY sector, and verily wrongly giving posts to ex-Wts and selling Ananda Marga properties are related with the current scene in Guatemala (NY sector).

One Wt confused about


Baba

This email contains two sections:
1. Posting: One confused Wt about
2. Links


One Wt confused about

Note: This letter is not for all - those who do not care about Baba's teachings, this letter is not for them.

Namaskar,
This letter deals with a very important point related with the deplorable comment of a Wt about terrorists.

First here read this important teaching from the Propounder of Prout.

Prout philosophy states, “Shúdras can never be the actual revolutionaries because they lack sufficient moral stamina, responsibility and fighting spirit. They are vulnerable to many vices and are not well-established in human values, hence they cannot develop the requisite revolutionary character. The vikśubdha shúdras develop into genuine revolutionaries because they acquire the moral courage and discipline to oppose exploitation.” (1)

Comment: Please pay attention to the above yellow section. According to the above quote from Prout philosophy, to bring revolution vikśubdha shúdras are the main asset. They will bring revolution because they have sufficient moral stamina, responsibility, and fighting spirit, and they are not vulnerable to many vices and they are well established in human values.

Now we examine this next teaching from the Propounder of Prout.

Prout philosophy states, “It is therefore the duty of those who want to create a world free of exploitation to help to increase the number of vikśubdha shúdras. It will be harmful for the revolution if these people die or are transformed into shúdra-minded shúdras. All the sadvipras in the world should be vigilant to make sure that the number of vikśubdha shúdras does not decrease due to unemployment, birth control, or other bad practices or policies.” (2)

Prout philosophy states, “As a result of vaeshya exploitation, those having kśatriya or vipra mentalities are transformed into the disgruntled slaves of the vaeshyas. They have no alternative but to toil at the behest of the vaeshyas to fill their bellies. Those kśatriyas and vipras who are turned into shúdras under circumstantial pressure carry a simmering discontent in their hearts. This group are known as the “vikśubdha shúdras” or the “disgruntled workers”. These disgruntled workers – the exploited vipras and kśatriyas – give systematic expression to the frustrations of the masses to end vaeshya exploitation. This is the class with revolutionary distinction.” (3)


Are terrorists vikśubdha shúdras


Comment: Please pay attention in particular to the above yellow sections. Because vikśubdha shúdras are of extraordinary character, they will bring Proutist revolution in the very near future. According to the above quote, it is the duty of sadvipras to protect and increase the number of vikśubdha shúdra so revolution can be hastened.

It is obvious thieves, criminals, communal people, and those who are destroying humanity in the name of religious crusades do not have the aforesaid values. Rather they are demons in human form. They cannot bring about a revolution in line with Proutistic principles.

Hence if someone proclaims that those terrorists who committed the Mumbai terrorist attack (2008), the recent Paris massacre (Nov 2015), and various other deadly assaults on innocent citizens on a daily basis throughout the globe - are vikśubdha shúdras, then how would you feel about their understanding of Prout and their hypothesis. Do not be surprised but one Wt is proclaiming this very thing.

In other words, one Wt has commented that terrorist jihadis are all vikśubdha shúdras. Fundamentally, that Wt is telling is that those who committed the Mumbai terrorist attacks, the recent Paris massacre, as well as other deadly assaults on innocent people around the globe are vikśubdha shúdras. That Wt is insinuating that such terrorists will bring Proutist revolution and establish sadvipra samaj.

Prout philosophy is vast so if one does not know then one should not give a false answer. And if one cannot guide then at least not misguide. Here in this case that WT committed both of these grave errors: giving false answers, and misguiding readers who do not know about Prout.

By reading the claim of that Wt, so many new margiis will be horrified and terrified about the prospect of Proutistic revolution. This all happens when an unqualified person starts spreading their garbage in the name of Ananda Marga, Prout, or neo-humanism. If that Wt tells that this is their own belief then it is fine. But when they make such absurd and reckless claims using Proutistic terminology - like vikśubdha shúdras - their talk becomes poisonous.


When ignorant starts writing then

 Ananda Marga ideology says, "Without proper interpretation, the shástras remain difficult to understand and sometimes unintelligible. Thus the scriptures should always be interpreted by qualified scholars, competent philosophers, and penetrating thinkers. If one tries to interpret a profound scripture with superficial knowledge, the interpreter appears ridiculous and the audience is confused."
   "There are some people who are neither scholars, nor philosophers, nor penetrating thinkers, but merely wander about interpreting scriptures…... they do more harm than good to the society. " (4)

Sadguru Baba says, “If one is not able to give the people proper guidance, then at least one should not misguide them. One must not divert them from the proper path by exploiting the tender and delicate sentiments of the human mind.” (5)

Wt conduct rule states, “One should not give any false answers but one should consult with one’s senior for the correct answers.” (6)

in Him,
Liila
Lauren Piedmont


Note 1: Here is what Wt Didi wrote

Just recently on 20 Nov 2015, a mere week after the world witnessed in horror the gruesome jihadi terrorist attacks in Paris on 13 Nov 2015, one Wt Didi made the following assessment that jihadist terrorists are like vikśubdha shúdras.

Didi ji wrote: “Namaskar - This is an interesting article, which demonstrates that actual studies of the psychological profiles of jihadist terrorists is quite different than what one might image or expect.  They tend to be well educated, well-integrated into society, middle class….ironically they do not tend to be very religious or religiously motivated…rather they seem to be more of a viksubdha shudra phenomenon if the research in this article is accurate.” <end of Wt Didi’s comment>

Comment: Whatever people say it is so obvious these jihadis are not normal human beings they are demons - what to say about  vikśubdha shúdras. It does not matter what any article says or not. Recently, they committed genocide of the Yazidis populations. Those who did not want to be forcibly converted were killed.

We have intentionally name not given - but most probably you know but if you do not know and want to know then please inquire with us.


Note 2: About raw images of terrorists demonic and evil deeds of beheading

For the last one decade, you are well aware about the abhorrent acts terrorists are doing around the globe to innocent people. But if still you want more confirmation then scroll down and see the graphic photo to gruesome and demonic acts. There are some very graphic photos of beheadings. By that your mind will again recall just exactly what atrocities terrorists have committed and are doing these days.

According to this wt this below terrorist is a vikśubdha shúdra.

Raganugananda's preposterous self-propaganda + 5 more

Baba

This email contains six sections:
1. Posting: Raganugananda's preposterous self-propaganda
2. Hindi Quote: चरम-सत्य तथा परम-सत्य
3. PS #4504: When the dark clouds of helplessness float in the sky

Raganugananda's preposterous self-propaganda

Namaskar,
All know our avadhutas should not glorify themselves - nor be busy thinking about their own greatness. An verily, true avadhutas know that in this world nothing is permanent. Only Parama Purusa is permanent - so only His glory should be sung.

By seeing the dead body in the cemetery, sinners also realise that this world is a temporary abode. This below Dada also knows because he was born into this world with two eyes. But sadly in a tragic attack, one of his eyes got destroyed. It can happen to anyone. So Dadaji knows first-hand that this world is ephemeral. So no avadhuta should try to glorify themselves, because in this world - besides Parama Purusa - nothing will remain forever. And Dadaji knows this, but unfortunately he forgot this fact and indulged in self-glorification. This is due to his degenerated state of mind. 

On this point our Guru Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji’s divine guideline is as follows. He condemns such self-glorification.

Ananda Marga ideology states, "“Kiirttaniiyah sadáharih”. Kiirtana should be done on Hari and on no other entity. One should not praise oneself or any other person. There are many people who are very fond of praising themselves by telling everyone what wonderful things they have done, but, as mentioned in this sloka, kiirtana is not for one's own self but for Hari. Even though people are taught to do kiirtana for Hari, they still make the mistake of praising themselves too much. Sometimes their self-praise is so intense that others are obliged to say, “Please stop praising yourself so much.” They forget that their self-applause is rather boring for others. Human beings should realize that no one likes to hear the self-praise of others." (1)

But now see below the scene of self-glorification created by one of our own avadhutas - Dada Raganugananda.





But now see above the scene of self-glorification created by one of our own avadhutas - Dada Raganugananda.


Senior margiis did not appreciate Dadaji's flair and glorification


Long before his planned arrival at Kota as seminar trainer, Dada arranged to have his paid agents on-site ahead of time to welcome and honour him with many garlands. Dadaji thought this would be a grand way to glorify himself. Seeing the scene, senior margiis did not appreciate Dadaji's flair and glorification. They told that they used to welcome Sadguru Baba with many garlands, but never dadas. But the trainer Dada Raganugananda got hold of this above photograph and had it circulated on various forums etc to show his stature and glory.

If he had been a normal sadhaka or standard avadhuta, he would not have done all this. Rather, if someone naively came forward to shoot such photos of him etc, then Dadaji would have sternly rebuked them and guided them that all glory and praise should be directed towards Parama Purusa. But instead he did the polar opposite. He plotted and planned for his own glorification by using his paid agents. That is why we can say that Dadaji is a coloured jackal. This situation is beautifully described in the following stanza given by Guru:


This Dada is a coloured jackal


Mana ná ráuṋgáile ráuṋgáile yogi kápaŕá.

[Saffron and red do not a yogi make
With mind undyed he remains a fake.]

“Dye your mind with His colour. Those who have not done so cannot attain Him, for this very coloration is Prema or Divine Love. The differences in colour are signs of distinction; without these differences there is identity. No external sign of Sádhutá or virtue is necessary. Became sádhu within. Behind the external show of virtuousness of many so-called sádhus exists a pharisaic state of mind. Preserve the true dignity of the word, Sádhu.”

Múŕha múŕháye jat́á váŕháye masta phire jaesá bhaesá
Khalrii upar khák lágáye
Mana jaeśá to taesá.

[With shaven head or matted locks
And ashen body a Sádhu walks
With the swaggering gait of a well-fed buffalo.
And crude mind filled with thoughts mean and low.] (2)


Ultimately ended up projecting themselves instead of the ideology

Dada Raganugananda knows that an avadhuta should not glorify oneself but rather glorify the Supreme. And as Guru explains below, those who glorify themselves are lowly.

Sadguru Baba says, "A study of history will make it clear that a strong and healthy society has not yet evolved on this planet. This is mainly due to the inadequate propagation of an ideology. Although at different times a few people thought of establishing a strong and healthy society, they used argument and debate instead of deliberation and reason to convince others of the need for such a society, and ultimately ended up projecting themselves instead of the ideology." ( PNS-5, The Responsibility of Society)

It is most unfortunate that Dada Raganugananda has fallen in this way.  Raganuganandas glorified image in the above photo provides a look into his poor conduct in all realms of life - as he has utterly forgotten his conduct rules. So it is sad and tragic to see this happen with one of our avadhutas.

Here again, we should all reflect on this next teaching and forward it to Dadaji as well so he may be benefited and rectify himself etc.

"Avadhuta will always keep himself engaged in service of Gurudeva with sincerity and devotion in thought, word and deed, in subtle and crude spheres, in inner and outer expressions of life." (3)

In Him,
Viplava

Rudrananda and his cronies status is on the wane


This is not an isolated case, unfortunately. Nowadays, the stature of Dada Rudrananda and his cronies is on the wane. So to boost themselves, such Dadas in his camp and in his inner circle, apply such techniques. They pay stooges and agents to receive them with big pomp and show. By this way they think that they can regain their position of unquestioned authority. But the reality is that that hour has passed. Now Ananda Margiis the world over understand who is who, and what is what.


~ Baba's teaching for In-depth reading ~


“A’loker path cha’r’ibo na’…A’mi nijere praca’r koribo na’…” (Prabhat Samgiita #337)

Purport: Baba, by Your grace I will not leave the path of Ananda Marga ideology, the path of effulgence. I will never leave the path which You showed me. By Your grace, I will mold myself according to Your desire. With Your guidance, I will make my mind straight, focusing on You & propagating Your glory. I will never glorify my own existence. I will never propagate about me I will never praise myself in front of anyone. I will never propagate myself. O’ my Lord, You have taught me to propagate Your glory. I will propagate the glory of Parama Purusa – not anyone else. So I will never propagate my own self...

Baba says, "The duty of human beings is only to continue their efforts to please Parama Purusa. Thus when any work is done, the concerning sadhaka is not to be given any credit; the credit should be given to Parama Purus'a." (4)

Baba says, "This arrogance, which makes them want to display themselves, forgetting all other things, is termed aham'ka'ra [vanity]. The predominant vrtti  behind it is aham [ego]: 'I am everything, there is nothing beyond and outside me'." (5)

Baba says, "So you see, preya  or ka'ma  remains busy with finite units only, and thus, the ego, who is the enjoyer of such fragmentary units, must be the small ego.  It is impossible to develop such an ego which remains always absorbed in these units.  Even people of wisdom, of high social status -- even so-called intellectual and accomplished scientists and philosophers who are always concerned with earning high respect for themselves or saving their own prestige -- even they pursue sensuous or fragmentary objects for the gratification of their egos.  Perhaps they deliberately refuse to realise that these petty objectives of their egos will infuse their minds with meanness, as a result of which all their egoistic respect, prestige and status will ultimately be pulverized into dust."

When the dark clouds of hopelessness float in the sky,
then in that bad hour I take shelter in You


"Tomár bhálobásá bujhe, nijeke khunje peyechi, tumi ele dhruva tárá seje,tava páne ceye calechi..." (Prabhat Samgiita #4504)

Purport:

O' Parama Purusa, You are so gracious. By understanding that You love me, I found my true self. By Your grace I realised that I am not just this physical body; I have an eternal relation with You. Since thousands & thousands of years and beyond, You have been with me, and You have cared for me. Earlier I was confused about who I was. I thought I was just physical body and that my life started with the birth of this body. I was always feeling sad and pessimistic about my future. But now, by Your grace, in my heart I feel Your love - I feel that I am under Your shelter at Your lotus feet - always. I now know that You love me so much & that You are always with me - all the 24hrs. Now, by Your grace, I understand where I am; my life has become meaningful. You have emerged as the polestar of my life. I am moving towards You. It is Your grace.

Baba, when I get fatigued & tired by involving in mundane works, and when negative thoughts ruin my peace and tranquility, and when the dark clouds of hopelessness float in the sky, then in that bad hour I take shelter in Your divine love to save me from all sorts of problems.

O' my Lord, my mental sky, my air, my breath, my entire existence, my everything is dancing according to the rhythm of Your sweet melody - Your ankle bell. My hopes get consolation, fulfilled by Your samvit [1].

From the land of divine effulgence - with an unknown magical spell, one angel is beckoning me; O' my dearmost Parama Purusa Baba, You are that very apsera' (angel). I have understood this truth in my ańudhyana, by Your grace.

Baba, by Your grace, I am completely ensconced in Your love and now I understand that I am completely sheltered in Your lap...


Note for Prabhat Samgiita #4504:

[1] Samvit: "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)

Re: BSM editors capitulate to pseudo-culture

Namaskar,

The Bhakta Samaj magazine has printed 4 hands of Shiva, and they are putting picture of hairless armpit of a woman. It is western culture, the women want more beauty so they cut the hair inner also. Bhakta samaj is doing only business.

Dada Santosananda capitulate to pseudo-culture

Baba

This email contains two sections:
1. Posting: BSM editors capitulate to pseudo-culture
2. Links


Dada Santosananda capitulate to pseudo-culture


- This letter is not for all -

Note 1: The Bhakta Samaj magazine (BSM) is a Hindi magazine. It is published in India so this letter is only for Indian margiis - not for others.

Note 2: Those who do not understand what pseudo-culture is may not be able to understand this issue.

Note 3: It is important to read part I of this series before reading this letter. So if you haven’t read part I yet, kindly click on link #1 below. 

Namaskar
So the below photo from pages 20-21 of Bhakta Samaj (Feb 2016) as well as the photo presented in part I, is steeped in three types of sin:

1. Going against the code of the protection and dignity of women and instead engaging in female exploitation by supporting pseudo-culture.
2. Misrepresentation of yoga.
3. Going against Caryacarya and our conduct rules.

As Ananda Margiis, our job is to smash this misconception and preach and personify the high ideals of tantra where yoga aims at the unification with the Supreme. Unfortunately, on this point the Bhakta Samaj magazine has fallen far, far short of the mark.

See below how in the BSM, the woman displayed have shaved their underarm hair thus going against Sixteen Points and Ananda Marga rules for doing asanas.

Must be vanguards against pseudo-culture


As Ananda Margiis - as neo-humanists - Baba guides us that we are to be the vanguards against the onslaught of pseudo-culture. But instead of leading on this front, the Bhakta Samaj editors has been veritably swallowed up by pseudo-culture.

(a) The Bhakta Samaj editors feed into the false notion that yoga is just for females so that they can become thin and alluring to attract others;
(b) The Bhakta Samaj editors feed into the false notion that yoga is merely some type of physical exercise;
(c) The Bhakta Samaj editors feed into the false notion that females are to be judged by their bodies;
(d) The Bhakta Samaj editors feed into the false notion that females should be half-naked and displayed to "pitch" and sell their magazine.
(e) And there are numerous other ways how the Bhakta Samaj editors fall into the mud puddle of pseudo-culture.

The question then becomes: Why did this those Bhakta Samaj editors do like this? The answer is money. To boost sales, those Bhakta Samaj editors are willing to go against their oaths and vows and undermine Ananda Marga ideology.

Such is the sad state of affairs.


Female exploitation

Here Baba warns us about the dangers of pseudo-culture and how our duty is to rise up and fight against all forms of pseudo-culture, including points related with the dignity of women.

Ananda Marga philosophy states, "This exploitation in the cultural sphere is accomplished by the propagation of pseudo-culture. Every honest, virtuous, rational person must fight against this pseudo-culture, and inspire others to do the same. If this is not done, the future of humanity will be sealed. It is proper for human beings to struggle for political freedom, for social emancipation; but if their cultural backbone is broken, then all their struggles will end in nothing – like offering ghee into a fire that has died out." (1)


Summary

Tragically, the Bhakta Samaj chief editor took a fall on multiple levels by presenting his magazine in this manner: propagating pseudo-culture, misrepresenting yoga, and going against various codes and rules.

In so doing, they wholly misrepresent the aims and teachings of Guru and Ananda Marga, while the common people are misled. This situation is bad from beginning to end.

in Him,
Pratima Bhat


Note: (a) Everybody knows, according to Ananda Marga standard and Caryacarya, the women displayed in the photos of this series of letters are half-naked. (b) If you are interested to see the aforesaid magazine pages, please write us. (c) By the way, some naive persons claim that Dada Santoshananda, Santosananda is not the real doer and that the real culprits are his staff. Whatever may be, but as long as his name is still listed as the magazine editor, then he will be held responsible. 

It denigrates young women as sex objects


In getting caught up in the winds of the fake yoga syndrome, the Bhakta Samaj editors blatantly contradict so many of conduct rules and vows:

- “Do not cut the hair of the joints of the body.” (2)

Contradiction: Instead of adhering to Guru’s above guideline, those Bhakta Samaj editors picked up half-naked photos from the web that portray women according to western, pseudo-culture values where women’s underarm hair is shaved off to make them more alluring to men.

- “It should be remembered that a woman’s friend is a woman and a man’s friend is a man.” (3)

Contradiction: In our Ananda Marga, there is not free mixing of the sexes and males and females certainly do not perform yoga asanas together. Yet in the above photo, there is a male doing fake asanas with half-naked women.

- "Avadhuta shall treat every woman of the world, including his ex-wife, as mother." (4)

Contradiction: Instead of treating females as mother Bhakta Samaj chief editor Dada Santoshananda is denigrating them as sex objects etc.

- "While going out of their house, women should wear simple and decent clothes and cover their bodies properly." (5)

Contradiction: Instead of covering up their bodies, the women displayed in the above photo are revealing maximum degree of skin (i.e. half-naked) for all to see.


Who is behind this sin

Ac Santoshananda Avt - Editor - As the editor he is most responsible for this sin.


Partially Responsible Parties

Strange - why these sincere margiis are supporting
pseudo-culture the exploitation of women


Directly or indirectly supporting any sin is also a sin. That is why I request these below listed good margiis not to associate themselves with this magazine. This magazine is propagating false things. Would they like it if their daughters or granddaughters were displayed in this way - i.e. shaving their armpit hair and exposing most of their skin etc.

So if any margiis supports this magazine, they will have to face the consequences of the cosmic operative principle - so watch out.  Below is the list of some of the names listed on the editor’s page.

Shrii Ramkesh Choudhary
Shrii Kumar Akhilesh
Shrii Jagadiish Bhala - Kanpur
Shrii Rajiiv -
Shrii Suman Kumar Jha
Shrii Yashpal Singh Chauhan - Uttarakhand
Shrii Tulsi Ram Patel - Chattisgarh
Shrii Shantaram Choudhary - Lucknow
Dr Rakesh - Sahajanavan (Gorakhpur)
Dr Chandreshvar Prasad (Patna)
Shrii Piyusa (Bettiah)
Shrii Praveen (Samastipur)
Shrii Guru Prasad (Banka)
Shrii Ravi Shankar (Bhagalpur)



A call to all margiis:
Please ask these above margiis to think twice before supporting this anti-dharmic work, i.e. propagating pseudo-culture which is against Ananda Marga.
