Namaskar,
Here following is a quote from Dada S’s book that is cited in the Prajina Bharati magazine.
Specifically, Dada S writes that Guru is just like the parents who care for their child in all realms of progress: physical, psychic, spiritual etc. Such is the claim and comparison that Dada S is making a between parents & Sadguru Taraka Brahma.
The above scan is from Prajina Bharati, Vol. 38, No. 6, Consecutive Number 248, Guru Tattvam page 30, Nov / Dec 2014.
For those who know Hindi it is obvious that Dada S committing a big blunder by spreading false things about Guru. For non-Hindi readers, kindly refer to the English translation highlighted in yellow - above and below.
According to Ananda Marga philosophy, we know that Brahma is the Guru and that Sadguru is Brahma. And that He comes as Mahakaola / Taraka Brahma. And Taraka Brahma can only be compared with Himself - not any other entity.
In numerous teachings, Ananda Marga philosophy states that Parama Purusa is beyond all comparisons. Think of it this way. A human being cannot be compared with a bug or reptile. A human can only be compared with other humans. Similarly, Parama Purusa can only be compared with Parama Purusa, but since there is only one Parama Purusa He is beyond all comparisons. For more about this see note 1 below.
But Dada S writes that Guru is just like the parents who care for their child in all realms of progress: physical, psychic, spiritual etc. So Dada S’s way of comparing Sadguru with parents is completely wrong and baseless - it is contrary to the guideline of Ananda Marga ideology.
Please read the below guideline from Baba about the criteria of Sadguru and see how many parents are really like this. You will not find any.
Ananda Marga ideology states, “In the spiritual world, he alone can be a guru who can lift downtrodden humanity to a high spiritual level, who can illumine humanity with spiritual effulgence. That is, only a Mahákaola has the requisite qualification to be a guru, others cannot be gurus.”
“In order to be an ideal guru in the spiritual sphere, one must be throughly conversant with the minutest details of sádhaná, every aspect of sádhaná, important or unimportant. The guru must not only learn those things, but must also possess the capacity to teach those practices to others. Otherwise he should not be treated as a guru. The Mahákaola alone has this capacity, no one else. Kaolas are those who by dint of sádhaná have successfully elevated their microcosmic stance and established it in the Macrocosmic one; but a Mahákaola is one who is a kaola, certainly, but at the same time possesses the capacity to help others as well to get to that exalted kaola position. In the past Lord Shiva was one such Mahákaola. Lord Krśńa was another. To be a guru one must be a Mahákaola” (1)
“The guru must be aware of the nature of the human mind – what it is made of, how it should be elevated step by step from crude to subtle, how all the unit minds can march together in unison towards the goal – in a word, he must know both the theoretical and the applied sides of psychology. He must know a thousand times more than is written in books. He must assimilate everything through his own refined intellect. And then only can he teach others perfectly. That shows that he must be not only a spiritual guru, but also a guru in the psychic world. There is a sense of want in the human mind. One who can remove the sense of want is a guru. In order to qualify as a guru, one must have the power to remove psychic wants.” (2)
“So in order to be a guru, one must come onto this earth with the highest qualifications in the spiritual field, and with the greatest capacity to face the mountainous obstacles in the physical world. To shoulder the responsibility of a guru is not child’s play.” (3)
So see how Dada Samanvayananda is creating confusion by giving a wrong and faulty idea. Although Dada S has passed away but still he is creating problems.
In Him,
Liilananda
Note 1: Parama Purusa is Incomparable
Ei jyoysná nishiithe cánderi máyáte, tomáre ceyechi anupama... (PS 2082)
O Anumapa, O Incomparable One, O’ Parama Purusa, O’ Sadguru,
With the shining beauty of the moon, I long for You, O’ Anupama
In Ananda Marga philosophy and in the above Prabhat Samgiita #2082, Parama Purusa is addressed as the Incomparable One. Parama Purusa has infiniite attributions and in His role as Anupama, He is that Divine Entity that is beyond all comparisons.
Note 2: About this magazine
Our Ananda Marga magazine - Prajina Bharati - must be held to the highest standards as it is the publication of our Wt boards: Purodha board, avadhuta board, acarya board, and tattvika board. Every aspect of this publication must be completely consistent with Ananda Marga ideology.
That is why it is especially disappointing and painful to see the Prajina Bharati magazine be degraded in this way.
Note 3: Who is responsible
Here are the two Dada most responsible for printing the misleading writings of Ac Samanavayananda Avt. It is a gross error for the below Dadas to highlight Dada S’s wrongful writings etc.

Story harassing even after death
Before explaining further about the gross errors Dada S has made, one story comes in my mind. All know that there are many good people in Bikaner (Rajasthan, India) but also one very notorious person was born there as well. And this is the story of that wicked man.
This man passed his whole life harassing and torturing innocent villagers in his locale. He taunted and abused them in all kinds of ways, like false court cases etc. This went on for decades. When he was nearing the end of his life, it struck him that when he dies he will no longer be able to harass those villagers. So he devised one special way whereby he would be able to harass those villagers even after his death.
Here is what he did - this is the plan he came up with.
When that wicked man became terminally ill with cancer and was essentially on his deathbed, he hatched one nasty plan to entangle and harass those innocent villagers for the days and years to come. First that man went door to door throughout the village and feigned repentance for his many misdeeds. He talked to each family individually. He pledged to those them that, “I am a sinner and I harassed you for years and years, and now I am going to die from cancer. I beg you to help me and forgive me for my sins.”
Seeing the plight of that man and hearing his plea, one by one, each family forgave him.
Then the man told, ”There is one more thing I request of you. Your granting forgiveness is not enough. My soul will not be satisfied unless you hang my corpse from a tree and beat it mercilessly with on stick etc.”
Hearing this the they looked quite concerned; the various families each replied that they could not commit such an act.
The wicked man added, “Please, I beg of you. This is the only way I can reach to heaven.”
Hearing this, the various families thought further, and one by one each agreed to satisfy the man’s wishes. On their own they promised to keep this entire ordeal secret. The man thanked them countless times as he took leave of their company.
Immediately, that wicked man scurried to the police department and offered them a large bribe. He said that, “These villagers are my enemies and they have a plan to assault me even after my death. To take revenge on me, they are going to ransack my corpse. Specifically, they are going to hang my dead body from a tree and whip it with sticks.”
The man requested, “As policemen, it is your duty to uphold the dignity of my being and not let my corpse be beaten and destroyed in this manner.” The officers agreed.
Thereafter, the man approach his wife and told her, “After I die, then your first duty is to inform the policemen of my death.” Soon afterwards, that wicked man breathed his last on this earth and news spread of his passing.
Per their promise, those villagers tied and hung the man’s corpse from a tree and began whipping that corpse to ensure that man went to heaven.
When the policemen came upon this scene, then they immediately arrested all those villagers and put them in jail. By this way, that wicked man was able to harass and torture those innocent villagers even after his death.
Now the ghost of Dada S is harassing us
Similarly, now the ghost of Dada S is harassing us. During his lifetime Dada S propagated so many wrong things in the name of Guru and now after his passing still he is doing like this. If anyone thinks this is too harsh a characterization of Dada S, then it seems you have forgotten how Dada S betrayed Guru during the time when Baba was in jail. Those days the situation was very tense and grave. Nobody knew what was going to happen. And in that darkest hour, Dada Samanvayananda jii left Guru and openly challenged Ananda Marga by creating his own new organisation, Prema Marga.
Only stooges get the higher posts these days
Dada Samanvayananda jii is the Dada S who twisted AM teachings in the wrong way. Dada Samanvayananda jii did this years and years ago. And now, two so-called purodhas - who are not aware about Ananda Marga philosophy - have published Dada Samanvayananda jii’s bogus sutra in a recent edition of Prajina Bharati. So these two purodhas editors - Dada Rakeshananda (editor) & Dada Amaleshananda (sub-editor) - have no idea what they are doing. Otherwise they would never have placed Dada S’s garbage in the esteemed magazine, Prajina Bharati. This is the unfortunate affair.
As you may know, Dada Samanvayananda jii died long back, but we see how his ghost is still affecting and harassing Ananda Margiis. In that sense he is just like the wicked man from the above story.
Sadly, this chapter will not end soon because we have unqualified purodhas running this Ananda Marga magazine. They will not learn from their mistake and will undoubtedly create more blunders soon. Reason being they are stooges not purodhas. The way things are going now in the organisation, we will not have real purodhas anytime soon. Only stooges and idiots get the post, not others.
Here is that page from the magazine
Please pay attention to the below scan is of Dada Samanvayananda's writint. The problem is that he created a faulty sutra and then tried to cover it up with his below Hindi purport. This was printed in Prajina Bharati, Vol. 38, No. 6, Consecutive Number 248, Guru Tattvam page 30,Nov / Dec 2014.
So the above is Dada S’s bogus sutra where he made a blunder.
This was printed in Prajina Bharati, Vol. 38, No. 6, Consecutive Number 248, Guru Tattvam page 30,Nov / Dec 2014
They do more harm than good to the society
Here below Baba guides us that the scriptures should always be interpreted by competent people otherwise their explanation will be a mess.
"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 as a means of livelihood. They utterly fail to present the proper matter in the correct perspective before the audience. Such people may be successful in earning a living in the name of shástra vyákhyána, but they do more harm than good to the society. There are still others who interpret the scriptures just to exhibit their intellect – to procure for themselves a certificate of erudition. They too remain far from the living spirit of the scriptures." (10)
Sadly, that is exactly what happened Dada Samanvayananda jii. In hopes of boosting his own image and earning some money by selling his book, Dada S tried to explain Guru’s scriptures. And in the end, he just created a mess. For all the details, please re-read above letter and you will see how Dada Samanvayananda jii completely missed the point.

O’ Parama Purusa, for the welfare of all - to liberate all,
You have taken advent on this earth
Prabhat Samgiita Intro: Just like a small child who lovingly and sweetly complains to its mother, in the same manner here the bhakta is lovingly placing his complaint before Parama Purusa - the nearest and dearest One. This type of very close and intimate relation is characterized by tremendous sweetness and love. That is what is depicted in this song.
Above average devotion needed to understand this song
This type of feeling develops when one’s sadhana is of a very high standard - by His grace. Those with lower sadhana will not understand this song. Strong devotion is needed and when that is present then the feelings expressed in this song are very natural.
In contrast, if that mind-set is not there - if one is not experiencing high sadhana - then one will think the feelings expressed in this song are odd or peculiar. It is just like when a child is young then it has tremendous degree of love for the mother and will cry when she is not present. As the one ages though that degree of love steadily declines such that older children will think it is strange how a young child is crying for its mother. Because that older child does not have that high degree of love for mother. Similarly, to understand this song, above average devotion for the Parama Purusa Baba is needed.
This type of devotion is not just some theoretical notion. In Ananda Marga there are many sadhakas who have this feeling in their practical life - even today. They are fortunate; their life has become successful. Because this type of ardent love towards Parama Purusa is devotion. And when one has devotion one has everything. There is nothing left to gain. With devotion surely one is going to attain Parama Purusa, by His grace. It just depends upon the degree of one’s sincerity.
What to speak of a sadhaka, if an ordinary, or even a degraded person, does sadhana sincerely, and from the deep core of their heart they request, “O’ Parama Purusa, I want nothing else, please grace me with the highest devotion”, then the afore-described deep devotional love will quickly develop, by His grace.
The following Prabhat Samgiita composition carries this idea.
“Nútan prabháte tumi ele, ele aruń álote kare snán…” (PS #353)
Purport:
nútan prabháte tumi ele ele, aruń álote kare snán,
dharáke taráte tumi ele ele, bhúle giye sab abhimán,
O’ Parama Purusa Baba, You have taken advent in the new dawn, bathed in crimson effulgence. It is Your causeless grace. You have taken advent - foregoing the prestige of remaining as Nirguna Brahma - in order to liberate the world. You have come as Mahasambhuti and You are living as an ordinary person. The world does not give You any respect or honour. But You do not mind - that is not Your concern. You have taken advent on this earth to liberate all.
hridayer hár keno eta kál chile bhúle, bhúle,bolo ámáre tumi, bolo ámáre,
nayaner mańi kabhu thákite ki páre dúre, se je náhi páre se je náhi páre,
durdama bádháder durmada sádhá sure, holo avasán áji holo avasán,
O' the garland of my heart, my most dear, my most intimate One, how could You remain forgetful of me for so long. How could You ignore my cry? Tell me, please tell me. You are jewel of my eye - "the apple of my eye." Can that jewel ever remain far away from me? No, He can’t, no He can’t. Now that You have come,= my era of longing and pain is over. The insurmountable obstacles have vanished. Those melancholic tunes which I used to sing in the past are not needed any more. O’ Parama Purusa, You are here before me, it is so blissful. You are so gracious.
ákásh kusum áj ákásher phúl nay, dharái ratan se je dharái ratan,
mánas kusum shudhu man májhe náhi bháse, háse anukśań se je háse anukśań,
ásiácho nije theke sakal ke mane rekhe, sakal ke dekhite samán,
The flower of the distant sky is no longer a blossom in that far away abode in the sky. Now He has come as a jewel on this earth. He is my most adorable Baba. He is the gem of this world. He is the most meaningful One. The blossom of the mind not only floats in the mind, but He has come in human form before our very eyes. He smiles, He smiles always. You can touch and love him.
O’ Parama Purusa, by Your own wish, thinking of the welfare of all, and loving all equally, You have taken advent on this earth. It is Your causeless grace...
Dada S: playing the role of villain

hridayer hár keno eta kál chile bhúle, bhúle,bolo ámáre tumi, bolo ámáre,
nayaner mańi kabhu thákite ki páre dúre, se je náhi páre se je náhi páre,
durdama bádháder durmada sádhá sure, holo avasán áji holo avasán,
O' the garland of my heart, my most dear, my most intimate One, how could You remain forgetful of me for so long. How could You ignore my cry? Tell me, please tell me. You are jewel of my eye - "the apple of my eye." Can that jewel ever remain far away from me? No, He can’t, no He can’t. Now that You have come,= my era of longing and pain is over. The insurmountable obstacles have vanished. Those melancholic tunes which I used to sing in the past are not needed any more. O’ Parama Purusa, You are here before me, it is so blissful. You are so gracious.
ákásh kusum áj ákásher phúl nay, dharái ratan se je dharái ratan,
mánas kusum shudhu man májhe náhi bháse, háse anukśań se je háse anukśań,
ásiácho nije theke sakal ke mane rekhe, sakal ke dekhite samán,
The flower of the distant sky is no longer a blossom in that far away abode in the sky. Now He has come as a jewel on this earth. He is my most adorable Baba. He is the gem of this world. He is the most meaningful One. The blossom of the mind not only floats in the mind, but He has come in human form before our very eyes. He smiles, He smiles always. You can touch and love him.
O’ Parama Purusa, by Your own wish, thinking of the welfare of all, and loving all equally, You have taken advent on this earth. It is Your causeless grace...
