Example - PB scandal four purodha thieves

~ Plagiarized Editorial in Prajina Bharatii ~

Namaskar,
The following illustrates how four purodhas stole from an Ananda Marga book and published those stolen materials in their own name in Prajina Bharatii as the Editorial. The text highlighted in red below is some of that stolen material. For more details see note 1.


Here is the plagiarized editorial
stolen from Guru’s discourse

Below is the PB editorial - the stolen material is highlighted in red -

According to the natural law, the creation has to pass on to the crude from the subtle and in due course man will also have to give up his body. Death means only disassociation of unit consciousness and mind from body. Mind is the entity which does not only acts but will have to experience the reaction of its action. Mind is therefore and has to take the help of some crude base to be able to perform actions. This crude base is brain of human body and it is with the help of this mind is able to work. Mind and brain are so closely connected that one cannot work without the other. It is, therefore, necessary for mind to take shelter in brain as its physical base for being able to function and even to experience the reaction of its action. Unit consciousness also takes shelter in a new body along with mind. In other words, mind and unit consciousness are both reborn. They have to take another birth to complete the experience of action performed in the previous life. <Excerpt ends here>

Prajina Bharatii (PB) is an important periodical of our Ananda Marga and a prime tool for the propagation (praca’r) of the divine teachings of Sadguru Baba, Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji.

In Prajina Bharatii #248 (Vol 38 / No. 6) the Editorial is tainted. It is a case of plagiarism as many of the sections of this Editorial were stolen verbatim from Baba’s discourse entitled “What Is My Relation with the Universe and the Cosmic Entity?” as published in the book “Elementary Philosophy.”


Baba’s teachings are for everyone to learn from
but not for plagiarizing / stealing

Parama Pita’ Baba’s teachings belong to us all. They do not cost anything because they are invaluable. They are provided for free because we are incapable of paying. Free availability of these invaluable teachings on the one hand can be a lighthouse for the seeker of truth lost in the bhavasagar, an open treasure indeed – but on the other hand can lure thieves / pirates to publish Baba’s teachings in their own name. As the disciples of Baba, we should protect these teachings from being stolen and rebranded by unscrupulous opportunists.

Allowing such stealing will amount to the dilution followed by the distortion of Baba’s divine teachings. In addition, keeping mum on this issue will encourage other pirates to further loot Baba’s teachings and publish it in their own name.

Thus we must be alert and actively disallow stealing of Guru’s words and never let Guru’s original writings be published in some thief’s name.


Plagiarism:
Dadaji must be held accountable

Oxford dictionary defines the word plagiarism as “The practice of taking someone else’s work or ideas and passing them off as one’s own.” The editorial from the Prajina Bharatii magazine #248 is a glaring example of plagiarism in which the editor avadhuta has stolen Baba’s words verbatim and published them in the magazine proclaiming the words to be written by himself.

This is a clear case in which Avadhuta R should be held unambiguously accountable for stealing Baba’s sections and writing them as his own. In this case Dadaji is attempting to present himself as an intellectual (jina’ni) and in order to do that instead of quoting Baba he is presenting Baba’s sections as his own. This deception is both a crime (theft) and a sin (betrayal to Guru).

As an avadhuta, when he is using Baba’s quote then he should feel proud to tell that this precious point has been given by his Guru. This is what a standard disciple will do. A true disciple will feel proud to tell that this is his Guru’s direct teaching.


Which avadhuta is the thief

The Dada who committed this sin of stealing / plagiarizing Guru’s words is the head chief thief and his name is Ac Rakeshananda Avt - the  clown editor of Prajina Bharatii. The above appears in his own Editorial for Prajina Bharatii #248. Really this is quite shocking. The person most responsible for safeguarding Guru’s words has stolen them for his own personal gain / glory. So it is a clear-cut case of thievery.


List of thieves

These below Dadas are the in-charges of Prajina Bharatii (प्रज्ञा भारती) who involved in this thievery:

1st Thief: Acarya Rakeshananda Avt
2nd Thief: Acarya Amaleshananda Avt
3rd Thief: Acarya Puspendrananda Avt
4th Thief: Acarya Pranaveshananda Avt

These aforementioned thieves are all purodhas as well as secretaries of different AMPS central boards like purodha board, avadhuta board, acarya board, and tatvika board.

Due to their thief mentality and other vices, Dada Rudrananda recruited these unqualified people as purodhas to lead H group central board.  Now you can easily gauge the character of Dada Rudrananda.

Namaskar,
in Him,
Bhakti


Note 1: Stolen material came from

The stolen material in Editorial of Prajina Bharatii #248 came from Guru’s discourse “What Is My Relation with the Universe and the Cosmic Entity?”, from the book “Ananda Marga Elementary Philosophy.”


Note 2: Beware of these thief Dadas

It is important for each and every Ananda Margii to be aware about this because ultimately each and every disciple is responsible for safeguarding the originality and authenticity of Guru’s divine teachings.

Some naive persons may think, “What is wrong – that is fine – he just took a paragraph from Baba’s discourse and stuck his name as he wrote that para – that is ok.” But if we allow Dada Rakeshananda to steal a discourse today, then tomorrow we may find that Dada R has published Guru’s entire book – Idea & Ideology – in his own name. And the following week another avadhuta might publish “Ananda Marga Philosophy in a Nutshell” in his own name. This is the domino effect that will ensue.

Thus we must be vigilant at the outset and not allow such avadhutas to steal Guru’s words and publish Guru’s original writings in their own name.

Furthermore, margiis must be aware about the tendencies of these few thief Dadas because they may come and even steal things from your house.


Note 3: Write us for more info and source materials

(a) If you do not have Guru’s original discourse -  “What Is My Relation with the Universe and the Cosmic Entity?” - kindly let us know and we will send it to you.

(b) If you do not have the Prajina Bharatii magazine #248 let us know and we will send you the full editorial.

With the above two resources you have see for yourself how this Dada stole Guru’s words.

To make the letter understandable to common folks the terms stole and theft has been used to describe plagiarism. This letter goes to many non-native English speaker and come from all walks of life this word change will help them understand the severity of this issue.

The section below demarcated by asterisks is an entirely different topic,
completely unrelated to the above material. It stands on its own as a point of interest.

*********************************************

Watch out for debauched artists:
excite the lower human propensities

"There is a flagrant dearth of developed critical literature or critical magazines in every country of the world. Books sell in the market on the strength of publicity skills, or on the strength of how they excite the lower human propensities, or in some cases by their crude ability to provide entertainment for the common masses. That is why we find that books published by the authors themselves, regardless of how good they are, do not sell well in the market. On the other hand, books which excite people’s sexuality, whatever might be their content or language, sell extremely well." (1)

Nowadays the benchmark for determining the greatness of a book is the number of copies sold. But this is the wrong measurement because in this era of materialism the masses run to buy those books that excite the lower propensities. Yet, that is not the mark of great literature. Sadly, today's so-called writers have the requisite intellect and talent to write but in order to earn money and maximize sales they inject degrading, perverted themes into their writing. Because that is what enables their books to become "best-sellers." That is the unfortunate and common trend nowadays. So one should be very careful when selecting books. Those titles which have sold the most copies do not represent literature in the proper sense of the term.
