Baba
How to vanquish pathetic leaders
Note: This letter is only for those who have reverence for Sadguru Baba Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji and try to follow His Ananda Marga ideology.
Namaskar,
Nowadays so many sincere and kindhearted margiis and wts are keenly interested in righting the course of our AMPS (Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha) organisation - and trying to rid it of groupism. Yet, many are wondering: Where to begin? Which is the proper path to proceed?
Actually to rectify and permanently overcome the situation in AMPS, according to Sadguru Baba we need only understand one simple formula. With the light of neo-humanism and ideological understanding, the dark forces will be shooed away from the scene.

Where there is ignorance, there is exploitation
The key factor is that in our social life more and more mass awakening is needed. Because the power and might of the exploiters lies in the ignorance of the masses. This we have seen in the history of each and every country around the globe. When the masses are not informed of their rights and where there is ignorance, then there is exploitation. Whereas, inner understanding and the light of knowledge leads a people out from the darkness.
According to Baba, in each and every angle of human existence, that initial spark of knowledge and awareness is what allows human beings to rise up to the next level. Similarly only the light of knowledge - ideological understanding - can set our AMPS on the right track and remove groupism from our organisation. Without that there cannot be success. If one walks in darkness one needs a torch otherwise one will fall down in a ditch. Without the light of more and more ideological awareness, AMPS will not be able to reach that era of neo-humanism.
Taking a look back at the history of our AMPS: Who can forget those days of old in 1990-95. Many innocently and naively thought that Sarvatmananda, and later on Rudrananda, along with the rest of the Wts in Centre were divine incarnations who would bring peace, justice, and welfare to the entire universe. This was the daydream those days. And in that period of extreme ignorance and unawareness, look what happened.
Here is a list of injustices and contraventions of margii rights carried out by the various top group leaders:
How dogmatic forces will automatically flee from the stage
Here the key ingredient is that mass consciousness raising is needed. As the ideological understanding gets embedded in the collective mind-set of Ananda Margiis, and as those ideological principles are put into practice, the natural outcome will be that the leaders are of a higher standard - i.e. more neo-humanistic. Selfish leaders will be forced to rectify themselves or they will leave on their own accord, as proper leaders emerge.
So it is a direct relationship: The more ideological awareness there is in our Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha, the better those at the helm will be. That is the formula. Let the light of knowledge shine forth, and then all those dark, dogmatic forces will automatically flee from the stage. Then all the owls of darkness will be gone.
Now then is the time to propagate and follow Baba's eternal teachings of Ananda Marga ideology and bring our organisation on the right track - permanently shedding the dark dogma of groupism and ushering in that brilliant era of neo-humanism.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com
Ananda Marga philosophy says, "'We have come to the world to perform great deeds-- for the physical welfare of all, for the psychic happiness of all, and for the spiritual elevation of all - to lead all from darkness unto light.' If, even then, someone says: 'No, darkness is good for me!' we will tell them: 'All right, darkness is good for you, but just once why don't you come and see the light - it is even better!'" (1)
Conclusion: fight injustice
The solution is plain and simple. With proper education and by following Ananda Marga philosophy and by helping others understand Baba's teachings, naturally everyone's awareness will grow. In that case, the tendency will come to fight injustice. Then the ideological base will bring in proper leaders. The reality is that this is the actual process that is unfolding this very instant in our AMPS. It is happening.
In all the corners of the globe, margiis and sincere wts are rising up holding the lamp of Ananda Marga ideology, in which case those dark forces will leave entirely. That glorious day is fast coming. That era of neo-humanism is near, nay upon us.
Namaskar,
In Him,
Harideva

Unmask the hypocrisy of central leaders of AMPS
Our approach is twofold: First bring more and more light into AMPS, and secondly spread that effulgence throughout the world and beyond. Those at the helm should be pressured and forced to follow all the regulations and conduct rules given by Sadguru Baba. Otherwise they have no right to keep those high posts. Subsequently, junior Wts, margiis, and the general public will also adhere to those codes. And Ananda Marga ideology will be established.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com
So those with artistic and creative talent in AMPS should come forward and use their writing, stories, cartoons, satire, and oratory skills to unmask the hypocrisy of central leaders of AMPS. Baba has given us the duty to carry the torch light to one and all and by His grace it will be done.
Ananda Marga philosophy says, "Where the society is caught in the whirlpool of superstitions and prejudices - where it has lost its vision in the darkness of ignorance - there litterateurs and artists will have to come forward, even by taking risks. They will have to show the path to others with a flaming torch in hand." (2)
Where there is darkness owls will rule
Wherever there is darkness, self-centered leaders will rule. This is the equation. For example in the pitch-dark night, owls rule the earth. In that bleak scenario, the owls spread their wings and hunt their prey. So long as there is darkness, the harsh regime of the owls will be in vogue.
To overcome the situation, one might make the futile attempt to track down every single owl, one by one - in that very darkness. But that is extremely difficult. Because darkness is the ally of the owl. Best then will be if one ushers in the light of the new day. In which case, all the owls will automatically scatter and hide in their holes etc. They will be gone forever. That is the special formula.
Here “owl” means those holding high posts who are introducing dogmas into Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha. And “darkness” means lack of understanding of Ananda Marga teachings by innocent followers. Ignorance is darkness, and light means Ananda Marga ideology.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com
Unfortunately, the trend of generating new dogmas is still in vogue, but because of margii awareness the rate of the imposition of those new dogmas is not nearly as fast as earlier. So that is a plus point. And as margii awareness continues to grow the situation will be better and better.
What torchbearers of society must do
It is Baba's magnificent blessing upon us all that He has entrusted us with the spreading of His neo-humanistic ideology. And by His grace we will spread that to each and every human heart.
Ananda Vanii says, "The flame of a lamp lights up countless lamps. The touch of a great personality wakes up innumerable sleeping hearts..." (3)
And here following is Baba's divine assurance that we will get success and the new era of sentient peace and neo-humanism will come - in AMPS and all around.
Ananda Marga philosophy says, "You few [true sadhakas] are the torch bearers of human society. You are the pioneers, you are the vanguard of the human society. So it is your duty to save humanity." (4)
By Baba's divine grace and infinite compassion, the beautiful new era of light is emanating in our AM society - and growing more brilliant each and every moment.
Ananda Vanii says, "...The eternal glow of the boundless élan vital of Cosmic Consciousness has been illuminating the life-lamp of universal humanism since time immemorial, is illuminating it, and in future will do so even more intensely. That is why I say, the future of the human race is not dark, rather it is strikingly resplendent. So proceed on, ignoring the frowns of darkness." (5)
You must never merely applaud after hearing others’ words
Ananda Marga philosophy says, "Many people have come into this world, who by their cunning have instilled various dogmas in peoples’ minds and exploited them in various ways. Ultimately the greatest necessity to fight against them is your conscience. I have already explained to you what conscience is. You must keep your conscience ever-vigilant. You must never merely applaud after hearing others’ words or reading books. You must not give undue importance to any person or any [groupist] theory, i.e. the propagation of tiirtha dogma and groupist propaganda]. In this way you will have to fight against geo-sentiment through study and rationalistic mentality."
"In the first stage you study; in the second you analyse the positive and negative sides; and in the third stage you arrive at “blissful or non-blissful, auxiliary or non-auxiliary.” When you complete this whole process of logical reasoning, the outcome is your “awakened conscience”. This state of awakened conscience is what is called “rationalistic mentality.”
"Keep your conscience ever-vigilant. Develop a firm rationalistic mentality, and no one will be able to deceive you by false geo-sentiment. This rationalistic mentality will provide you with sufficient inspiration and strength to fight against socio-sentiment, ordinary humanistic sentiment, and pseudo-humanistic strategy. You will not only gain vocal strength, but become strong in all respects." (6)
Fools say there is no need of study
Ananda Marga philosophy guides us, "Human beings are capable of judging between right and wrong because their minds are somewhat developed, but the minds of creatures other than humans are not so developed. Because of their undeveloped minds, they cannot follow the path of rationality, the path of discrimination, which almost every human being can. Those who say that there is no need of study – “Leave your books aside!” – are incorrect. Study is essential, knowledge is essential, and association with learned and enlightened people is essential. Listening to learned discourses, studying and understanding the scriptures, all have their importance." (7)
What constitutes Ananda Marga ideology?
In the above letter Ananda Marga ideology refers to all books by Sadguru Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji. In contrast, books written by Dadas and third party commentaries about Baba may not be proper or accurate etc. So do not depend on them. Only one should depend wholly on Guru’s direct teachings. As far as possible, one must rely on the source material, i.e. Sadguru Baba’s books etc. At the same time we should be alert about distortions in His books by the publishers.

Could not feel the showering of Your krpa'
PS intro: This song is a metaphor. The flower garden and grass lawn represent the life of a struggling bhakta. The rains signify the showering of His grace. The darkness represents mental agony and the allotted path refers to 16 Points, do's and don'ts, and conduct rules. This is a mystical song that should not be taken literally or at face-value.
"A'ma'r bhuvane ka'lo haye a'che, a'lora devata' a'jao ele na'..." (Prabhat Samgiita #1232)
Purport:
Still my world is dark, the Lord of refulgence did not even come today. The flower bud could not blossom, nor could nectar be stored in the floret’s core.
The rains did not arrive. Due to a severe lack of water, scorching heat, and fiery winds, the blooming garden and the grass lawn could not survive.
My heart is dry. I am not even able to sing the song or follow the allotted tune which I have rehearsed for so long. For this reason I could not move on the path that You have shown me. "Without Your grace, nothing can happen": This eternal truth I did not understand; that is why the showering of Your krpa' did not happen to me. I was thinking that I can do anything and everything by myself, and solve all the problems alone. My ego was dominant as my heart became parched and life turned into a listless and burdensome voyage. Baba, because of my arrogance I could not realise Your magnificence; that is why I could not feel the showering of Your krpa'.
O’ my Illumined Entity, kindly bring Yourself near, and make my abode filled with brilliance.…

News: turmoil in Rudrananda camp
Namaskar,
When any incident occurs, one should be calm and use their vivek (sense of discrimination). Such persons are great human beings. Animals cannot do this - they always react hastily according to their instincts. And if a human also reacts impulsively then they are showing themselves as an animal. Those persons will yell, kick, scream, punch, smack etc. Such persons are of an extremely weak mind and very primitive, i.e. close to animal life.
Ananda Marga ideology states, “A great person is one who has complete control over the externalization of thoughts. A thought will not always be expressed physically. One may have a desire to hit someone or a desire to steal, but never actually does it due to one’s self control. A person who has such control over the mind can externalize internal ideas more vigorously than a normal person can. You may have met people who never lose their temper unnecessarily, but utilize anger with the utmost control for benevolent reasons. This is because they have control over their minds.” (1)
Ananda Marga ideology states, “Imagine a scoundrel is standing in front of you. The man is such a rogue that you feel like slapping him, but do not actually do it. It is only when you decide, “Let me slap that scoundrel,” that your hands actually strike him. ” (2)
Keeping this above teaching in mind, kindly read the below news....

Translation by Taramandal
(From Hindi) of AC MANTRACHETANANANDA AVT's letter to Margis.
A 45 year-old-lady was beaten by a senior sannyasi of Ranchi group (Acharya Manananda Act, Rector, Khapari, Bilaspur, Chattisgarh).
It has been learnt from reliable sources that on Sunday, 17th June 2018 that there was kiirtan going on in the Master Unit of Ac Mananananda Avt at Kahpari, CG. Margi Sister Rukmini (45 yrs) along with her brother Shruti Dhaniram ji came to that program.
Rector Dada asked Didi, who is a good singer, to sing Prabhat Samgiita. Rukmini Didi declined to do so, saying that her throat was not well.
A hot discussion ensued between Didi ji and RM Dada. RM Dada Mananananda gave a strong slap to Didiji. Then Rukmini Didi pulled Dada's hair and beard. The margiis present intervened between the two and ultimately peace prevailed.
Why such incidents are becoming frequent by the monks of Ranchi group?
Like:
(1) Verbal fight between ex-BP Shrii Arvind ji and Dada Rudrananda & Dada Madhuvratananda.
(2) Ac Satyashreyananda Avt & stooges had hot discussion with sisters and brothers of Ranchi at BABA quarter. The Wts called police.
(3) Ac Mananananda Act has beaten a margii lady.
(4) On 17th June 2018 the Dada of Mandali (Vinod Nagar), Delhi had a quarrel with a margi.
Points to ponder:
Why are all these events happening with the blind followers of Wts.
Why are general margii sisters and brothers abused, beaten, thrown out of BABA's residences?
Why have the police been called?
Why was a monk allowed to beat a Margii sister?
The question arises: Was this a good display of sadhus or stooges of Rudrananda Dada? Was it not possible to settle the matter amicably between the two? Calling the police to the BABA quarters was an shameless act.
Question: Does this not raise the query who was wrong. One possibility is that all these unideological activities were at insistence of CBI, whose informer Rudrananda Dada has done this Gurudroh? He would have been instructed by his bosses to ruin Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha. This man has been directed to instigate Margis to fight among ourselves, disrupt all workers, expel them. Don't recruit new WTs.
Our Rudrananda Dada is doing the above very efficiently. Other group's leadership is enjoying the power, money only. But, this informer Rudrananda Dada is adamant to ruin the organisation.
The leaders of other groups can be corrected through meetings and discussions. But this gentleman will never change.

Example of turmoil in Rudrananda camp (Hindi)

रांची ग्रुप के एक सीनियर सन्यासी (आचार्य मननानंद अवधूत , रेक्टर , खापरी, बिलासपुर, छत्तीसगढ़) के द्वारा 45 वर्षीय महिला की पिटाई।
विश्वस्त सूत्रों द्वारा ज्ञात हुआ है, कि, दिनाक 17 जून 2018, दिन रविवार को, खापरी , बिलासपुर, छत्तीसगढ़ को आचार्य मननानंद अवधूत जी के मास्टर यूनिट में कीर्तन हो रहा था। उसमें मार्गी सिस्टर श्रीमती रुकमणी जी उम्र लगभग 45 साल, अपने भाई श्री धनी राम जी के साथ धर्मचक के लिए आई थी।
रेक्टर दादा जी, ने मार्गी सिस्टर रुकमणी को प्रभात संगीत गाने के लिए कहा,(क्योकि सिस्टर रुकमणी जी, प्रभात संगीत अच्छा गा लेती है,) इस पर सिस्टर रुकमणी जी ने कहा, दादाजी, मेरा, गला खराब है। मै आज नही गा पाऊंगी।
इसी पर रेक्टर दादाजी के साथ सिस्टर रुकमणी जी का वादविवाद हो गया। उसी वादविवाद में रेक्टर दादा मननानंद जी ने कई हाथ जड़ दिया। उसके बाद सिस्टर रुकमणी ने दादा मननानंद जी के सिर के बाल एवं दाड़ी पकड़कर नोचने लगी, तब बाद में मार्गियों ने बीच बचाव कर मामला शांत करवाया।
रांची ग्रुप के सन्यासियो के द्वारा मार्गियों भाई बहनो के साथ ही आजकल इस प्रकार की घटनाएं क्यो हो रही है।
जैसे।:-
(1) दिल्ली बाबा क्वार्टर में दादा रुद्रानंद जी, एवं दादा मधुव्रतानंद का एक्स भुक्ति प्रधान श्री अरविंद जी के साथ वाद विवाद होना।
(2) रांची बाबा क्वार्टर में , आचार्य, सत्याश्रयनन्द अवधूत एवं चमचा ग्रुप के साथ वहाँ के मार्गी भाई-बहनों के साथ वाद विवाद का लोकल पोलिस तक पहुचना।
(3) आचार्य मननानंद अवधूत द्वारा एक महिला मार्गी के साथ पिटाई करना।
(4) दिल्ही के मंडावली ,(विनोद नगर) के दादा का 17 जून 2018 को एक मार्गी के बीच वादविवाद होना।
सोचने का विषय है कि , यह सब घटनाएं रांची के दादा रुद्रानंद जी के मानने वाले या "अंध भक्त सन्यासियो" के साथ ही क्यो हो रही है। इस वाद विवाद में मार्गी भाई-बहनो के साथ मारपीट, पोलिस में मामलों का पहुचना, धक्के दे कर आश्रम से निकालना। सन्यासी के द्वारा महिला मार्गी पर लाठी उठाना।
प्रश्न यह नही है, कि, गलती किसकी है, प्रश्न यह कि कि, क्या राँची ग्रुप के सन्यासियो(रुद्रानंद दादा जी के चमचो) को मार्गियों के साथ, मारपीट करना, आश्रम से मार्गियों को धक्के मारकर निकालना, पोलिस को आश्रम में बुलवाकर मार्गियों को प्रताड़ना देना, DMS/ कीर्तन/ बाबा क्वार्टर में प्रवेश करने से रोकना, की यह शोभा देता है। क्या एक साथ बैठ कर आपसी मतभेद को सुलझाया नही जा सकता।
कही ऐसा तो नही, कि, CBI की तरफ से अपने इनफॉर्मर दादा रुद्रानंद जी को यह आदेश मिला हो, कि मार्गियों को रियेक्ट करो। और संस्था के वर्कर्स को परेशांन करो, एक्सपेल करो। और नए सन्यासियो को मत बनने दो।
दादा रुद्रानंद जी के करतूतो से तो यही लगता है।
दूसरे विभाजित ग्रुप के नेता लोग तो सिर्फ सत्ता को भोग कर रहे है, लेकिन दादा रुद्रानन्द जी, CBI इनफॉर्मर बनकर संस्था को ध्वंश करने में लगे है।
दूसरे विभाजित ग्रुप के नेता लोगो को समझाया भी जा सकता है, हो सकता है , मान भी जाय।
लेकिन दादा रूद्रानंद जी CBI इन्फॉर्मर को समझाना भी मुश्किल है।

If the food and drink is defective
Ananda Marga ideology guides us, "One must have a balanced diet. “Whatever I get, that I will eat” – this must not be the policy of a sane being. This human body is a composite of protoplasmic cells, and these protoplasmic cells are made of the food we take in. If the food and drink is defective, then the protoplasmic cells will also become defective, and the human mind, which is the collective mind of so many protoplasmic minds, will also become defective. That is why támasik or static food has a negative influence on the human mind." (1)
