Namaskar,
Ananda Marga ideology states, “You shall protect, in all respects and at all costs, the dignity of your treasures and the sanctity of your flag, of your emblem, and of the pratikrti [photo] of Márga Guru.” (1)
Caryacarya guides us, "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." (2)
Ananda Marga ideology says, "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." (3)
Now look what our Dadas are doing: They are sitting directly in front of Guru's photo - blocking it entirely. This is not the proper way for any disciples to behave. With their common sense, no disciples or sadhaka can think of sitting with their back to their Guru - blocking Him entirely. The person fourth from the right with the long white beard is Dada Rudrananda - he is the most lowly as he has planted himself directly in front of Guru’s photo. Dada Rudranandji - due to his degenerated mind - firmly believes that he himself should get the most respect. Hence he should sit in front of Guru’s photo and be flanked by his hand-picked stooges. And that is the scene we bear witness to here. Guru’s photo is completely blocked by these worthless people.
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 bride and groom. But, this basic ethic such lowly Wts could not follow. They sat directly in front of Sadguru Baba.
Here again we should remind ourselves how the Dadas in the above photo did not follow this following basic mandate.
Ananda Marga ideology states, “You shall protect, in all respects and at all costs, the dignity of your treasures and the sanctity of your flag, of your emblem, and of the pratikrti [photo] of Márga Guru.” (4)
When they themselves are not following the fundamental tenets of dharma then what are they going to teach others. They will just waste their time in infighting, unfortunately.
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 Sadguru's photo will be maintained and the devotional environment preserved.
in Him,
Satya’devi

O' bhaktas, put spiritual collyrium in your eyes, thread garlands for Him,
and fill your baskets with fragrance of flowers for Him
"Nácera tále chande gáne, ucchal holo áji dhará,
háráno diner háráno sure, sabái holo mátoyárá..." (Prabhat Samgiita 401)
(Note: Only those who sincerely practice the 6th lesson of sahaja yoga meditation can understand this song in the depths of their heart.)
Purport:
Parama Purusa Baba has come. Today the entire world is exuberant with joy - filled with rhythmic dances and enchanting melodies. Those sweet tunes and melodies of by-gone days have returned and that music is divinely intoxicating for all. Everyone is dancing in His bliss.
O' bhaktas, come one, come all - place spiritual collyrium in your eyes, thread garlands for Him, and fill your baskets with the fragrance of flowers for Him. Colour everyone with the hues of your heart; fill them with aroma of marigolds, and make your surroundings aromatic for His auspicious reception.
Today, in the festival of lights, all hearts have accepted Him as their own, their most loving One. Attaining the Citcore [1] , the pollen of the mind is dancing in bliss. With the arrival of Parama Purusa everything is blissful. Baba has graciously come...
Note for Prabhat Samgiita #401:
[1] Citta-cor / Chit-chor / Citcor: In His role as 'Citcor', Parama Purusa is the Thief or Stealer of the devotee's mind. How does He steal the mind? He captivates their mind and attracts the bhakta by His exquisite spiritual charm - whereby the sadhaka cannot think of anything or anyone else. The sadhaka has lost control of his own mind: It incessantly and unknowingly rushes towards Parama Purusa. The One who makes this happen is Citcor - the Stealer of the mind.
And to some degree this happens in the mundane realm as well, though it is degenerating and not long-lasting. There are numerous worldly examples where a person's mind is stolen. For instance, if they lost money, if they are infatuated with mundane attraction, if they are anxious about something - in all such cases when the person's mind runs again and again in that direction. So to some degree their mind has been stolen. The person's mind is no longer their own - they do not have control over it. Over and over, their mind is thinking of something - yet that something is not eternal but rather short-lived. So the effect is degenerating. Because their I-feeling has become attached to something mundane. In the real sense that is not citcor, but rather a reflection of a reflection of the stage of citcor.
The Entity that causes someone to lose control of their mind is Citcor - the stealer of the mind. And this is a deeply spiritual state. In the devotional sphere, only Parama Purusa is Citcor. The sadhaka thinks of Him, unknowingly. Always the mind is goaded in that direction. Even if the bhakta intentionally tries not to think in this way, still his mind becomes ensconced in the thought of the Supreme, i.e. Parama Purusa. This is an elevating experience and has a wholly beneficial result.
Ultimately, when this condition climaxes, in that culminating state the unit mind - the jiiva'tma - becomes one with Supreme Consciousness.
Lastly, another name of Citcor is Makhan Cor (Butter Thief).
A number of dogmatic worshipers think that Lord Krsna is a butter-thief and they portray Lord Krsna as a small child who has stolen butter whereby the child Krsna is eating a lot of saturated fat. The sages tried to teach the common people with analogies but due to a very low standard the people took it in a literal way until finally it became an entrenched dogma. They do not like to hear the real truth of the matter.
“Marching ahead is life, crushing the pebbles of hindrances and obstacles with a stroke of your feet, disdaining the frowns of tornadoes, meteors and roaring thunder, and rendering all superstitions to ashes without any second thought. March on and on, Parama Puruśa is with you. Victory is yours.” (Ananda Vanii #29)
Ananda Marga ideology states, "An animal life is given to carnal pleasure human life is for sádhaná." (1)
In Ananda Marga, human life is for sadhana; thus the mind must be guided in this way. Indeed, if one is indulged in sex solely for the sake of sex - as is the case with homosexuals / gays etc - then sadhana is not possible. Such types of persons cannot understand Ananda Marga teachings. They cannot grasp that the mind must be goaded towards Parama Purusa. An aspirant must remain in Brahmabhava throughout the day - then sadhana will be successful, otherwise not. So the mind must be trained accordingly. Gay / lustful sexual relations undermine this endeavour.

The above is one of Baba’s original Ananda Vaniis. These
original and true Ananda Vaniis are unique, eternal
guidelines that stand as complete discourses in and of
themselves. They are unlike Fake Ananda Vaniis which are
