Note: This letter is not for those who do not have reverence for Guru, Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji. Those who cannot use their rational mind should not read - this is s critical issue for the glory of Guru. If you think you are emotional, please do not read. Here we present the hard facts.
Namaskar,
Recently one incident took place that undermines the most foundational point of tantra - the status of Guru.
As every disciple knows, in our Ananda Marga only Brahma is the Guru.
Purport: Brahma alone is the guru. Brahma alone directs the units to the path of emancipation through the media of different receptacles or bodies. No one except Brahma conforms to the real significance of the word “guru”. (Ananda Sutram)
And here again we can understand that Brahma has come in the name and form of Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji.
"The one formless, beginningless and infinite Parama Brahma (Supreme Consciousness) is the only entity to be attained by living beings – That alone is Jagat Guru (the Supreme preceptor), That alone has revealed Brahmavidyá (intuitional science) to us through the medium of the name and form of Anandamúrtijii. Unit beings must be made to appreciate Its majesty." (CC-2, Sadhana, pt #1a)
So Baba is the Guru and we are all His disciples, including PP dada. Thus all must have reverence for Guru.
Yet at the recent Ananda Nagr summer DMS 2014, one grave sin was done - here is what occurred: Purodha Pramukha, i.e. Dada Vishvadevananda, appeared on stage at the DMS sitting on an elevated seat that was higher than Guru's place. PP Dada was veritably blocking the photo of Rev Baba. The image is above for your review.
By placing PP Dada's seat hight than Sadguru Baba's place they are not just violating a social code but committing sin. To cast PP Dada or any human being on a pedestal higher than Guru is mahapapa - terrible sin.
Yet that is what occurred at the 2014 summer DMS at Ananda Nagar: PP Dada's seat was higher than Baba's place.
Those involved are sinners and hypocrites. They pose as being great sadhakas wholly devoted to Guru, yet their actions and dealing tell otherwise. Raising the status of PP dada above that of Guru reveals their mindset and true colours. No true devotee could ever do like this.
So first such central dadas are committing sin and then sending this about photo out on their mailing list.
Certain key group leaders and handlers are trying to jack up PP Dada's image in order to reap the benefits. PP Dada is himself a stooge so he has no say in the matter.
Everyone should consider and understand that the DMS organisers themselves published and circulated this photo. Some naive people do not realise that the DMS authorities took this photo have been using it to propagate their event.
This has nothing to do with taking the photo from a particular angle or vantage point. This is the official photo of the event. So this has nothing to do with trick photography - this the real deal. They really did jack up PP Dada above Sadguru Baba's photo.
They gloat that their faction is the real Ananda Marga but look what they are doing.
Below is the ideal way to display Baba's photo - see what margii devotees in one Ananda Marga unit have done.
As we know, in our dharmacakra halls and jagrtis etc, Guru's photo must be prominently displayed at all times - with due reverence and regard. Best then is to have two photos on display - one lower (around 4 feet off ground), and one higher (around 7 feet off the ground.)
If everyone is sitting in sadhana or Guru Puja then both photos should be displayed. Because everyone is low to the ground and no one will block or disrespect Guru's image.
And if someone is standing or giving a talk, or if akhanda kiirtan is being done, then the lower photo, which is only four feet off the ground, should either be turned around or covered by a small curtain. That way those standing will not block or hover over Guru's photo. At the same time, the higher photo - which is around 7 feet above the ground - will be in full view of all. Those standing will have no chance of blocking that photo. Thus the sanctity of Guru's photo will be maintained and the devotional environment preserved.
In Him,

"Trtiiyaḿ gurupújanam. I must have reverence for the guru. What is the guru? Gu means “darkness”, that is, darkness in the psycho-spiritual sphere. And ru means “dispelling agent”. That is, he who dispels darkness from my psychic and spiritual body is the guru. Gu means “darkness”, ru means “dispeller”. “Trtiiyaḿ gurupújanam. That is, you must have respect for the guru." (AV-12, Shiva's Seven Secrets)
Thus every sadhaka must cultivate great reverence for Guru, by His grace. That is the requisite quality of every disciple.
So these Dadas have contravened a basic, fundamental rule that even ordinary citizens follow. At any gathering, the best seat is always reserved for the most respected person. At conventions, the president gets the best seat; at forums, the invited speaker gets the best seat; at weddings, a special place is reserved for the bridge and groom. But, this basic ethic the Ananda Nagar summer DMS organisers could not follow.

PRESERVING SANCTITY OF GURU'S PHOTO

REVERENCE FOR GURU

The section below demarcated by asterisks is an entirely different topic,

Baba says, “There is one defect in jinanis. Two jinanis cannot agree on any point. Among them, many jinanis believe that agreeing means accepting one’s defeat. Indeed there are some godly qualities in jinanis. Such as they can speak in flowery language. Or that with their grandiloguence they can prove day as night, and night as day. If in daytime one jinani tells to anyone that it is night, or if during the night they tell that it is day, and if the next person does not accept what the jinani is telling, then the jinani will use the their logic and reasoning to prove that person as a top-grade fool. And he (the jinani) will make it look like this one simple thing the next person could not understand. Because of this in the sciptures is it said, ‘Mathitva…’ Meaning, that if an unfathomable amoung of milk is turned into butter and whey, then jinanis argue and quarel about the whey and in so doing the butter gets rotten and destroyed.” (varna Victira (H), p. 49-50)
