Infatuation of....

To: Respected General Secretary Dada ji,

Namaskar,
Here I wish to bring awareness to an incident which occurred at the recent Jamalpur DMS held the first weekend of April 2016.

Acarya Purnadevananda Avadhuta and Avadhutika Ananda Kalyanmaya Acarya were found eating from the same plate and feeding one another by hand like xxxx.

Respected PP Dada had just completed his lecture and kiirtan was going on in the pandal. At that time, Acarya Purnadevananda Avadhuta and Avadhutika Ananda Kalyanmaya Acarya had found a quiet, cozy corner to be together. It was a food stall in the outlying area of the Jamalpur DMS fairgrounds. The two of them were sitting very close together and eating from the same plate - feeding one another by hand as xxxx would do. Dada Purnadevananda was literally rolling tasty food in his hand and then feeding Didi by placing that sumptuous morsel directly into her mouth. And Did was engaging in this same treatment towards dada. In this way these two xxxx were sharing their meal. They were completely lost in each other, wholly oblivious of the scene going on around them. And more about this is described below, as well as the margii’s reaction.

~ This is the photo which Dada Purnadevananda put on his own Youtube channel ~

See how this is Dada Purnadevananda and he has cut his hair which is against Wt conduct rules. It is explained below why he has cut his hair - of course the reason is underworld....

So Dada Purnadevananda and Didi Ananda Kalyanmaya were completely absorbed in their own xxxx world.

After the kiirtan and sadhana session concluded, then naturally many people began moving around the pandal and DMS grounds and they were absolutely stunned and flabbergasted by seeing Didi Ananda Kalyanmaya and Dada Purnadevananda eating from the same plate and feeding each other in this xxx manner. No one could think that an avadhuta and avadhutika could behave in this way - this was beyond their imagination.


Like band of xxxx who commit a xxxx & dance on scene

Then some exclaimed, “How could you two Wts conduct yourselves like this - if this is what you want to do then remove your dress and go somewhere away from this DMS and do as you wish.”

Many commented that Didi Ananda Kalyanmaya and Dada Purnadevananda’s situation is akin to a band of xxx who commit a xxx and then moments later host a big boisterous party at the scene of the xxx. Because Didi and Dada were at DMS itself and they were blatantly contravening the very fundamentals of their conduct rules, in front of thousands of people and passerbyers. 

Please pardon the delay as this occurred the first week of April - so maybe you already know about this. After all, in this day and age when all have cell phones or smart phones, then quickly news spreads across the planet.


Multiple xxx

It is alleged that Didi Ananda Kalyanmaya has had multiple XXX. And most are aware that Dada Purnadevananda has a long and xxxx history. Dadaji has been a Wt for 30+ years and over that time he has spoiled the lives of so many -----.

So this is the situation that unfolded before our very eyes at the Jamalpur DMS - and certainly this is not an isolated incident. I request your help and guidance for resolving such matters.

in Him,
Y. Avadhuta

Wanders around in xxxx

It is well known amongst Wts that Dada Purnadevananda dyes his beard and hair black - all done to attract the xxx. Not only that, he keeps his hair short so that by day he can pose a monk and then at night present himself in another way to engage in other acts. Dadaji leads this type of dual existence where he wanders around xxx under the cover of night. 


For your easy reference here are a few guidelines about conduct of acarya

Guru says in His discourse entitled Conduct of Acarya: "Those who have the responsibility to show the path to others should be of superlative character with the most refined conduct. They and their followers must move constantly towards all-round development and shreya [ultimate spiritual attainment]. Persons who teach such well-regulated behaviour to others by their own conduct are called ácáryas." (1)

Guru says in His discourse entitled Conduct of Acarya: "Bear in mind that people may be harmed or misled by even a small weakness or defect in the conduct of an ácárya. Just as it is the duty of a father to educate his children properly by his good conduct, an ácárya or ácáryá should always instruct by his or her exemplary actions and words." (2)

Ananda Marga philosophy warns how improper leadership brings terrible harm to society.

Ananda Marga ideology says, “Today there is catastrophe and misery in human society and there is one reason: the defective leadership of society. People blindly follow even unintelligent leaders. The leaders hypnotize and attract thousands with their tall talks, gestures and other dramatics. Understand that the poverty and misery of any people in any country are the sins of the leaders. True leaders should always be vigilant and think how to work best for human society: they must be ever cautious that under their guidance the people are not led to darkness, death and immorality.” (3)

Wt conduct Rules do’s and don’ts

Here are some of the Wt rules of conduct that Wts must follow.

Wt conduct rule guides: "Avadhu'ta must not remain in a lonely place with any female." (32 Rules for Avadhuta, point #13)

Wt conduct rule guides: “One should not look at the face of the opposite sex.” (37 Workers Rules, Point #15)

Wt conduct rule guides: "You will have to protect yourself from sexual weakness..." (WT Conduct: Fourteen Points, pt #12)

Wt conduct rule guides: "Avadhuta shall treat every woman of the world, including his ex-wife, as mother." (32 Rules for Avadhuta, point #11)

Wt conduct rule guides: "Under no circumstances should the purity of the body and mind be polluted." (32 Rules for Avadhu'tikas, pt #30)

Wt conduct rule guides: "One should attract others by one's sacrificing nature." (37 Wholetime Workers Rules, pt #20)

Wt conduct rule guides: "One should not be greedy." (37 Wholetime Workers Rules, pt #12)

Wt conduct rule guides: "You will always be accustomed to lead a hard and industrious life." (Wholetimer Conduct Rule, Fourteen Points, pt #6)

Wt conduct rule guides: “One should leave all sorts of luxuries.” (37 Wholetime Workers Rules, pt #6)

Wt conduct rule guides: “One should make others good by becoming an ideal person.” (37 Wholetime Workers Rules, pt #22)

Islam: Why there is so much killing and bloodshed -5

Baba

Islam: Why there is so much killing and bloodshed -5

(Courtesy of the Washington Post)

First, to try and gain their favor, Muhammad briefly preached that Christians and Jews could attain salvation through their own faith. In fact, he changed his followers' direction for prayer from Mecca to Jerusalem, which prompted the Jews' tolerance of him while he worked surreptitiously for the power to evict them. These earlier concessions and teachings were later revoked by Muhammad, since the Jews ultimately refused his religion. The rare early verses of tolerance in the Quran are abrogated by later verses such as 9:29.

The Jews' knowledge of the Torah naturally threatened the Muslim leader's credibility, since it easily refuted the claims that he made about himself as a prophet of God. They also saw through the Biblical narrations that he had picked up from secondhand sources and knew that these contradicted established revelation. Conveniently, Allah stepped in to tell Muhammad that the Jews had deliberately corrupted their own texts to hide the very evidence of his own prophethood that he had previously insisted existed. (To this day, Muslims have never been able to produce a copy of the "true" Torah or Gospel to which their own Quran refers).

Since they chose to hold on to their religion (and their property) Muhammad looked for reasons to go to war against the Jews at Medina. According to some Muslims, the first tribe, the Qaynuqa, were driven from their homes and land on the pretext that one of their own had harassed a Muslim woman. Although the offender was killed prior to this by a Muslim, the Muslim was also killed by Jews in retaliation for the first murder.

After laying siege to the entire community and defeating the tribe, Muhammad wanted to put every male member to death, but was talked out of it by an associate - something that Allah later "rebuked" him for. The Qaynuqa were forced into exile and the Muslims took their possessions and property, making it their own. Muhammad personally reserved a fifth of the ill-gotten gain for himself (a rule that he was sure to include in the Quran).

This episode helped ingrain within Islam the immature principle of group identity, whereby any member of a religion or social unit outside of Islam is just as guilty as any of their peers who insult or harm a Muslim - and just as deserving of punishment. (Muhammad's punishments usually did not fit the crime).

Members of the second tribe, the Banu Nadir, were accused by Muhammad of plotting to kill him. What is most intriguing about this episode is that it occurred after the Muslims had killed several prominent Jews on Muhammad's order, including a leader of the Banu Nadir (named Ka'b al-Ashraf). (See also MYTH: Muhammad Never Approved of Murder)

When the prophet of Islam learned that he might be targeted in retaliation (something that he claimed was "revealed" to him by Allah), he promptly laid siege to the Banu Nadir community. After forcing them to surrender, these original inhabitants of Medina were then banished from their homes and land by the Muslim newcomers, who again started to take as much as they could for themselves (Ibn Ishaq 653). (To the disappointment of his people, this time Muhammad produced a revelation from Allah that allowed him to confiscate the entire portion for himself). (1)

Bogus things in Ananda Marga magazine

Namaskar,
Ananda Marga philosophy states, "Shiva had only two arms, not four or six. Párvatii also had two arms." (1)

So in His above teaching, Sadguru Baba points out how Lord Shiva has 2 arms, not four arms or six arms.


Cowardice approach: surrendering to Hindu dogma

Here below is the photo from the Patna Prout magazine (Hindi) April 2016. In this image, Lord Shiva is depicted as having four arms. Ananda Marga philosophy rejects this dogma and states that Lord Shiva had two arms. These Prout Hindi magazine editors are compromising our Ananda Marga ideals in order to appease Hindu fundamentalists. There is a Hindu dogma that Lord Shiva has four arms and the Prout Hindi editor has surrendered to this Hindu dogma and accepted this myth that Lord Shiva has four arms. It is unfortunate.

Making Lord Shiva as mythological figure: These Prout Hindi in-charges are cowards. Not only that, they are committing a terrible sin. The editor is taking Lord Shiva who is a veritable personality of history and turning Him into a figure of mythology.

Baba took great efforts to give dictation on thousands of pages of Ananda Marga philosophy and now, one after another, certain dirty people are destroying His divine teachings. Please carefully see the photo. In this Fake Lord Shiva photo, Lord Shiva is depicted as having four arms. But that is just Hindu mythology.

Here below is the photo from the Patna Prout magazine Hindi - (April 2016, page 16).

​

Suffice to say here that the main aim of our Ananda Marga magazines like Prout Hindi is to propagate the ideals of Ananda Marga. Hence the Patna Prout Hindi magazine should be fully dedicated to presenting the ideals of Ananda Marga philosophy.

But on many occasions we see that the editors are doing the exact opposite. See this above photo from page 16 of the Prout Hindi magazine (April 2016) where they adopt the ways of the dogmatic Hindus and portray Lord Shiva as having four arms.


To appease Hindu dogmatic believers

The main reason they are doing this is is to appease Hindu dogmatic believers that - “We are aligned with you.” Yet by this way those Patna Prout Hindi magazine editors are compromising with the teachings of Ananda Marga.

Sadly, when they have no courage to express this simple point that Lord Shiva did not have four arms, then how are they going to fight against more involved Hindus dogmas & exploitation.


Few other dogmas related with this photo

In the above photo, Lord Shiva is shown wearing a crown. And just above the crown to the left is a crescent moon. Plus Lord Shiva is shown as having a third eye-ball on his forehead. And that eye opens and shuts vertically. These points - i.e. the crescent moon and the third eye-ball - are dogmatic. Our Ananda Marga philosophy wholly rejects these dogmas. Such things have nothing to do with the historical Shiva.

So see how the photo portrays a birth defect where there is a third eye which runs vertically on the forehead of the fake Lord Shiva. This is also one Hindu dogma. Ananda Marga philosophy rejects portraying Lord Shiva in this way. Here is the next hypocrisy.

There is a crescent moon on Lord Shiva’s left temple. This is also dogma. According to Baba this is all bogus - Lord Shiva does not have a crescent moon on his temple.
Plus this Fake Shiva is pressing His feet on the demon Muyalaka, a dwarf holding a cobra.

And here again Baba reminds us that Lord Shiva has only two arms

Ananda Marga philosophy states, "No goddess having eight or ten arms can be the wife of Shiva: He had only two arms." (2)

Sadly, when the Patna Prout Hindi magazine editors have no courage to express this simple point that Lord Shiva did not have four arms, then how are they going to fight against more involved Hindus dogmas & exploitation.

in Him,
Ramsingh Yadav


What if this happened to you

If someone portrays you in a distorted manner - i.e. as having a severe birth defect of four arms - and furthermore presents you as a mythological figure for their own political gain, then surely you will not appreciate this.

Build a healthy world-based human family

“The opportunists tried in the past, are trying at present and will try even in the future to fulfil their narrow desires by keeping the human race disunited. By severely reproaching this opportunistic craftiness through your noble deeds, you draw nigh the unknown strangers living far away and build a healthy world-based human family. Ignoring the brute forces, the sky-kissing arrogance, hypocrisy, immorality and glib outbursts of the conceited people, go ahead towards your cherished goal. The blessing of Parama Puruśa shall be with you alone.” (Ananda Vanii #40)

Note 1: True Ananda Vaniis have a number whereas Fake Ananda Vaniis do not - just as a fake car license plate has no number. By this way, you can easily recognise a Fake Ananda Vanii.

== Section 3: Important Teaching ==

If Hinduism had not practiced idol worship

Prout philosophy states, “The second inviolable principle is that people should not be forcibly converted from one religion to another. People will not leave a religion if it is able to guide them properly on the path of Dharma….”

Prout philosophy states, “There is a well-known story about a Zamindar from Bengal called Kalachand Roy, later Kalapahar, who was a follower of Kálii. He worshipped a stone image of Kálii with great devotion. At that time some invaders, belonging to another religion, started a campaign to destroy all Hindu temples and deities. When Kalachand’s temple was about to be destroyed, he prayed to Kálii saying, “Mother, I do not have the power to protect you, so please protect yourself.” But how can a stone idol protect itself? In due course his temple and idol were destroyed, and Kalachand lost faith in Kálii. He was converted to the religion of the invaders, and became known as Sheik Kaluddin Khan. He launched his own campaign of terror throughout Bengal and Orissa and forcibly converted people to his new religion. He disfigured deities, destroyed temples and threatened people with physical violence to convert them. Once he travelled to Kashi and set about converting a widow who also happened to be his elder sister. She refused to succumb to his threats, and scolded him mercilessly for his bad behaviour.”

Prout philosophy states, “This made him realize the error of his ways, and he abandoned his campaign. If Hinduism had not practiced idol worship, Kalachand would not have been converted. Because of his forcible conversion, Kalachand became extremely hostile towards Hinduism and launched his own campaign of terror against it. A religion [in real sense dharma] should be so strong that no one can be converted from it.” (1)

Note - in the last para the term religion was used but the intention is dharma - Baba is talking about dharma, because as we know all the religious have defects.

Donkey birthday by Didi K

Note: This letter is only for those who have deep empathy for Wts. This letter is not for those who do not care about our dedicated avadhutikas.

Namaskar,
Ananda Marga ideology highlights the importance of one’s spiritual initiation as a time of birth.

Ananda Marga ideology states, “The first birth was the physical birth, and the second birth was the spiritual birth, during initiation.” (1)

Hence, one should not think that when the spermatozoa fertilises the egg and ensuring birth is one grand birthday event. Life should be spiritually oriented, not goaded toward the mundane.

​​​

At each and every juncture or stage of an avadhuta’s / avadhutika’s training they are given a new name because each stage itself represents a new birth – a new beginning, all the while leaving behind their old life. In which case, where is the scope for an avadhuta / avadhutika to celebrate their own worldly birthday. Thus, every Wt in our Marga should think twice about how far they should celebrate their “birthday”. According to Sadguru Baba, for avadhutas / avadhutikas there is no question of celebrating their worldly birthday.

The spirit of being an avadhuta / avadhutika is to dedicate everything to Marga Gurudev. By getting avadhuta / avadhutika diiksa and by getting their new avadhuta / avadhutika name, they no longer have anything of their own. In that blessed state, everything belongs to Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji. And Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji is their mother, father, & everything. That is the oath they have taken. So there is no question of celebrating their worldly birthday.

They surrender their all – their entire I-feeling – at His lotus feet. Their name has changed; their address has changed; their identity has changed. They have no past connection with their worldly life, nor their worldly birth. Avadhutas / avadhutikas give everything to Parama Purusa – they have nothing left to call their own. So there is no question of celebrating their worldly birthday.

That is why in the conduct rules of the avadhuta / avadhutika, there is no such thing as the observance of one’s own donkey birthday or any form of celebration or glorification of one’s own unit existence. Rather the avadhuta’s / avadhutika’s goal of life and the be-all end-all of their existence is to glorify Parama Purusa. They are to be established solely in Marga’s Guru’s glory.

In which case, where is the scope for an avadhuta / avadhutika to celebrate their own worldly birthday. Unfortunately, some degraded Wts still exist who sing their own glory and celebrate their donkey birthday with song and dance party, cakes etc. They are so engulfed by avidya maya they forgot about their oaths, their name, their dress. They started equating themselves as a sunken soul, unfortunately. The plus point is that they are only a very few - they are not a majority. Now, in this critical juncture, it is the duty of all margiis to help them understand their greatness that they are disciples of Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji. So there is no question of glorifying their worldly existience.


Conclusion

As you think so shall you become. This is the fundamental characteristic of Ananda Marga sadhana. Ideate on Brahma and then one can become Brahma. If one thinks about oneself then the mind becomes smaller, smaller, and smaller. That mind will be degenerated and unfit to get human life - what to say about liberation.

Celebrating the birthday is entirely ego-centric. All come to praise that individual. It is antithetical to common ethics of Ananda Marga and very detrimental for spiritual progress. It is common sense that not only avadhutas & avadhutikas, even general margiis constantly think of their ista mantra, and not about their own self. That is why in Ananda Marga no sincere sadhaka / Wt etc celebrates donkey birthday.

Namaskar,
in Him,
Shruti Devi

Problem?

Here the point is not about eating cake. All know that our Wts are free to eat all kinds of tasty delicacies and sweets that are sentient. So cake is not the issue here. The reason why it is a donkey birthday is because such occasions are based on self-centeredness and self-glorification. That is the root cause of the problem.


Wt Conduct Rules

Wt conduct rule -- “Avadhuta / avadhutika shall always keep himself engaged in the service of Gurudeva with sincerity and devotion, in thought, words and deed, in subtle and in crude spheres, in inner and outer expressions of life.” (2)

Wt conduct rule --  "We are all the children of the same Father, we are all the members of the same family. By fighting against all kinds of evil forces, we will establish the glory of our Father and the glory of our family." (3)

Wt conduct rule --  "One should make others good by becoming an ideal person." (4)

Wt conduct rule --  "One should follow discipline very strictly." (5)

Wt conduct rule --  "One should be ready always to accept all suffering as rewards and become an ideal son / daughter of the Cosmic Father." (6)


This is the Didi who

The name of the Didi is Didi Ananda Kalyanshrii who - working as SWWS of Hong Kong sector. She is the one celebrating her donkey birthday. And that is her photo that is displayed up above.

Dirty lesbian relationship

- I came across this below news that was written in Oct 2015.

Avadhutika Ananda Danavrata Acarya, the SWWS of Berlin sector, and Avadhutika Ananda Kalyanshrii Acarya, the SWWS of Hong Kong sector, have long been involved and intertwined in such relations. They have had a full-blown lesbian relationship for years.

Then came this added twist. Since Dada Madhuvratananda is SS Delhi, he was regularly in Delhi as well. Thus during the course of Didi Ananda Danavrata's long sojourn in Delhi, unbeknownst to Ananda Kalyanshrii, Didi Ananda Danavrata would invariably spend several days with Dadaji as well to satisfy their animal vrttis - as they have a long history together.

Thus, Didi Ananda Danavrata was allegedly carrying on heterosexual dealings with Dada Madhuvratananda & lesbian relations with sister Ananda Kalyanshrii during that time period. Yet, all the while, Didi Ananda Kalyanshrii was thinking that Didi Ananda Danavrata was her loyal lesbian wife.

So here we are talking about two senior, highly posted, influential avadhutikas, and one highly posted Dada. Thus, see how these types of problems plagues our WT ranks.

The bottom line is watch out when Didi Ananda Kalyanshii is communicating with teenage girls - she may be recruiting them, not for becoming Didi, but for something else....

Education & politicians

Prout philosophy says, "In a democratic system non-educationalist politicians poke their noses into university affairs. They do not know what education is, but they interfere to create a sentiment amongst the people to gain support for the particular ism they preach. They have no other motivation. In the democratic system public support has to be purchased to secure votes and this is the reason why politicians make an all out effort to create sentiments in the minds of the people. In communist countries, no other ism other than Marxism can be preached. People are forced to support it. Institutions which have educational value should be controlled by educationalists and not by politicians. Educationalists should also control the radio, otherwise the party in power will have the opportunity to propagate their ism through the radio system, just as they do in the books approved by university boards."

Wt nepotism in AMPS

Namaskar,
Some young boys and girls who come into Ananda Marga never get the opportunity to attend college or university. Just after passing 10th class, they are dragged from their hearth and home by Wts and pushed and sent for Wt training.


Wt exploitation

Verily, some youths are targeted and plucked upon completion of 10th class. So they could not complete their education or learn English. Yet English is the lingua franca of our Ananda Marga, i.e. the official language of AM. Without learning English, one’s position is compromised. So English is essential, especially for Wts.

In that way those youths enter our WT Training Centre(s) at a distinct disadvantage. And it sets the stage for their lifelong inferiority complex. Because in that case those youths spend 3, 4, or sometimes 5 years in Training Centre as a trainee - trying hard to learn all the teachings, yet struggling mightily because they do not know English. So their inferiority complex mounts. And their whole life they never get even a basic degree as they lost that golden opportunity in their youth.

And the root cause is that those youths were yanked by Wts from their educational pursuits. Why? Because by this way Dada Rudrananda and his team of Wts can easily exploit and manipulate them.

Next see how this Wt shows himself off as a college & university graduate on his Facebook page. He wrote the following description below the photo about himself. Remember this is a Wt we are talking about - i.e. someone who had to become a sycophant of Dada Rudrananda in order to get an education and get a university diploma.

​

Due lack of knowledge of English they suffer

The overall outcome is:
(A) Those youths are prematurely plucked from their home;

(B) They are forced to spend more time in WT training centre due to their youth and inexperience etc;

(C) While in TC, due to a lack of knowledge about English, it takes them years and years for the simple rote memorization of the various conduct rules in English and the Prout principles in English - as well as certain Questions and Answers on Ananda Marga philosophy in English. All because that memorization is done in a language which is foreign to them - i.e. they do not know English. That is why it takes so long, and ultimately they do not understand the content either. Because they do not know English. Nor are they able to grasp the philosophical tenets and teachings from various books and discourses. And the root problem behind it all is being plucked too early from their educational studies wherein they could not learn English.

(D) Due to point (C) they suffer from an inferiority complex and become prime targets of exploitation by big Wts;

(E) Their whole life they never get an overseas posting - nor a posting in South India - because they do not know proper English;

All in all this is a terrible injustice to those tender youths.


Example of nepotism

So this is one half of the story. But there is more....

If one Wt wants to study in college or learn English, then those innocent youths have to become a stooge, i.e. a subservient sycophant to  Rudrananda. That means they must be ready and willing to carry out Dada Rudrananda's unjust orders so  Dada Rudrananda can harass opponents. If they are ready to operate in this way, then those stooge Wts are given a gift: Tacit approval to pursue a university degree in India or at an overseas institution.

And that is what has occurred in the above example. This young Wt thought that becoming a stooge is good so he can get the approval of Dada Rudrananda to pursue university studies.

So in this way the above shown Dada has been exploited. He had a yearning to learn and become qualified and that earnest tendency was exploited by Dada Rudrananda whereby they turned him into their stooge. And this all could be averted the following ways:

1. Youths should not be prematurely plucked from their young educational studies to become Wts.
2. All Wts should be encouraged to learn English. It should not be something exclusive that is only granted to sycophant Wts.

At present, only those youths who cow down and become sycophants of Dada Rudrananda are able to get an education. This is the nepotism that is going on.

Here is a case study of one WT - Dada Shubhacetanananda ji - who sadly had to become a stooge of Dada Rudrananda in order to get an advanced degree.

Next see how this Wt shows himself off as a college & university graduate on his Facebook page. Remember this is a Wt we are talking about - i.e. someone who had to become a sycophant of Dada Rudrananda in order to get an education and get a university diploma.

Now you might be asking yourself, how did Dada Shubhacetanananda ji manage to do all this while supposedly being a Wt of Ananda Marga. And as mentioned above the reply is he had to become a stooge of Dada Rudrananda,


General Duty of sycophants of Dada R.

• When Dada Rudrananda sells any Ananda Marga land / property, then the duty of sycophant dadas is follow Dada Rudrananda’s order and spread false messages to the margiis in order to save Rudrananda’s prestige. If there is any questioning or uproar by margiis, then the duty of those sycophants is to appease and pacify margiis by spreading bogus words as divine truth.

• This duty of sycophant Dadas is to traverse the planet to pacify and befool margiis on any issue by delivering some sugar-coated, false message. So if land selling is going on, in the name of satya, those stooges will speak all kinds of self-serving and bogus things.

• On Rudrananda’s behalf, those loyal sycophants will verbally assault, physically abuse, and even expel those workers who speak out against injustices within the organisation.

• For instance, such loyal sycophants humiliated, punished, and abused the Ranchi BP and stripped him of his post. Rudrananda never indulges in such things directly but rather gets it done via his sycophants. He knows they are ever-ready to follow his order in this regard, no matter how unjust it is.

The eternal glow of the boundless élan vital

“The flame of a lamp lights up countless lamps. The touch of a great personality wakes up innumerable sleeping hearts. In the same way, 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.” (Ananda Vanii #49)

Note 1: True Ananda Vaniis have a number whereas Fake Ananda Vaniis do not - just as a fake car license plate has no number. By this way, you can easily recognise a Fake Ananda Vanii.

Anti-Ananda Marga things in Ananda Marga Magazine

Anti-Ananda Marga things in Ananda Marga Magazine

This letter is only for those who have reverence for Guru and try to follow His guideline. 

Namaskar,
All are aware that the entire ethic and purpose of our Ananda Marga magazines is to highlight, explain, and elaborate upon Ananda Marga ideology. There is no scope or question of any magazine going against the teachings of Ananda Marga philosophy etc. Yet, sadly, that is what has happened here.

The Bhakta Samaj magazine printed that there is a myth that one should drink 5 glasses of water per day. The summary of the Bhakta Samaj article is that 5 glasses of water is too much. Drinking 5 glasses of water per day will undermine your health. That is theory that Bhakta Samaj is promoting.


Baba guides: 
healthy person 12 - 16 glasses of water daily

Now we should review Guru’s teaching where He states that a healthy person should drink approximately 12  - 16 glasses of water everyday, and sick persons should drink around 16 - 20 glasses of water everyday.

Ananda Marga Yogic Treatments states, ““Ápashcavishvabheśajii” – that is, “Water is medicine for all diseases.” Truly, all types of disease can be relieved if one knows how to use water properly. To maintain the internal functions of the body without hindrance and to maintain the internal liquid balance, everyone should drink a sufficient quantity of water every day. A healthy person can consume three or four seers [approximately 12 - 16 glasses] of water a day, a sick person four or five seers [approximately 16 - 20 glasses], and a person suffering from skin disease, five or six seers [approximately 20 - 24 glasses]. These amounts of water help cure a disease to a great extent. Drinking water is good, but water with a little lemon and a little salt is still better.” (1)

So Baba says that a healthy person should drinking at minimum 12 glasses per day. And the article in the Bhakta Samaj magazine states that even drinking 5 glasses of water is very bad.

By Baba’s above teaching it is clear that:
(a) Baba guides: A healthy person should drink approximately 12  - 16 glasses of water everyday to keep their body healthy.
(b) Baba guides: A sick person should drink approximately 16 - 20 glasses of water everyday to restore their health.
(c) Baba guides:  A person suffering from skin disease should drink approximately 20 - 24 glasses of water everyday to rid their body of skin disease.


Bhakta Samaj magazine prints bogus things & misguides

Unfortunately in an article in the Bhakta Samaj magazine (Feb 2016, p. 42-3) the article takes a mocking tone at the benefits of drinking water. Specifically, the article makes the following claims.
(a) Bhakta Samaj magazine prints: Drinking five glasses of water per day will be bad for one's health.
(b) Bhakta Samaj magazine prints: Drinking water does not flush poisons and toxins from the body.
These are just two of the many ways that the article in Bhakta Samaj disparages the health benefits of drinking water. They are preaching that it is a dogma to drink 5 glasses of water per day. They just say that if one is eating soupy foods then that is enough.

So this is a clear-cut case wherein one of our Ananda Marga magazines contravenes the teachings of Ananda Marga.

Dada Santosananda printing false things

In all circumstances our aim is to preach and demonstrate Ananda Marga ideology: To teach genuine points of bhagavad dharma - not compromise with false things. The entire world is waiting for something great to happen, i.e. to receive the teachings of Sadguru. Yet here we see our Bhakta Samaj editor Ac Santoshananda jii / Ac Santos'a'nanda jii / Santosananda jii is selling-out and surrendering to materialistic, societal trends.

When I first saw this done in the name of Marga Guru then at first my heart sank - I thought how these editors could have done like this. They will destroy Ananda Marga. Then after a few moments idea came that there are many right thinking margiis & wts who will properly convey the authenticity of our Ananda Marga teachings. But such blunders with this Bhakta Samaj magazines should end - we have to save Baba's teachings.

Namaskar,
in Him,
Nirmala’ Singh


Baba’s guideline: when to drink water and when not

- Upon waking in the morning and getting up from the bed, one should drink a large quantity of water after utksepa mudra.
- Just before food, while eating, and immediately after completing a meal one should not drink water.
- Throughout the day, every hour, one should drink a small quantity of water.
- Drink a glass or two of water 30 min before eating food - not directly before food.
- Always keep a glass of water near you when taking a meal in case any food gets caught in the throat.
- Heart disease patients should not drink a large quantity of water at one time.
- Do not drink water after eating oily foods - best is to wait 2 - 3 hours as oil and water do not mix.
- By following the above guidelines, one can drink 12- 16 glasses per day.

* I personally know that one of my friends who suffered from kidney stones found permanent relief from this problem by increasing their water intake and drinking moderate amounts throughout the day.

* When Baba used to go out anywhere- even on field walk etc - always devotees would carry water for Him and He would drink frequently.

Ananda Marga Yogic Treatments states, ““Ápashcavishvabheśajii” – that is, “Water is medicine for all diseases.” Truly, all types of disease can be relieved if one knows how to use water properly. To maintain the internal functions of the body without hindrance and to maintain the internal liquid balance, everyone should drink a sufficient quantity of water every day. A healthy person can consume three or four seers [approximately 12 - 16 glasses] of water a day, a sick person four or five seers [approximately 16 - 20 glasses], and a person suffering from skin disease, five or six seers [approximately 20 - 24 glasses]. These amounts of water help cure a disease to a great extent. Drinking water is good, but water with a little lemon and a little salt is still better.” (2)

All this is going on in the name of our Ananda Marga magazine - Bhakta Samaj. Because they see that the Bhakta Samaj editor Ac Santosananda jii is just copying bogus, new-age articles from the web and pasting them in his magazine. It is really an awful scene and I feel badly how the Bhakta Samaj editor Ac Santoshananda jii has fallen in this manner.

By failing to live up to the ideal of our Ananda Marga ideology, Ac Santosananda jii is verily depriving humanity of dharmic teachings. Dadaji’s duty is to spread dharma but he is doing just opposite in     his magazine, Bhakta Samaj.

Bhakta Samaj - (February 2016) page 42-3

Editor: Ac Santosananda Avt -  As the editor he is most responsible for this sin.

Best will be if Dadaji does not try to defend himself or attempt to justify his dealings. Dada Santosananda is clearly in the wrong and the most appropriate response is to abide by Sadguru’s below conduct rule.

Ananda Marga social code states, “If there is even a little fault in you, you should keep your mouth closed and accept it all, and you should thank the person for pointing out your fault and ask for punishment.” (3)

The Bhakta Samaj magazine is printed in Hindi and if you are a Hindi reader and would like to see the magazine, write us and we will send you a copy of the article etc.

Trash of Dada Guniindrananda

* Please bear in mind that this letter is not for those who do not give importance to Baba's divine teachings and / or are emotionally attached with a particular dada or group.

* This letter is written according to the standard of Ananda Marga. Our Ananda Marga does not appreciate or subscribe to materialistic, pseudo-culture values prevalent nowadays. One should always remember that Ananda Marga is a revolution and Baba has created Ananda Marga to eradicate all sorts of pseudo-culture.

Namaskar,
As we know, our Ananda Marga magazines are for the propagation of Ananda Marga ideals, not pseudo-culture values.

Yet look here at this photo from page 6 of a recent Ananda Yuga magazine from the article “What is Yoga”. Such a photo utterly contravenes countless aspects of our Ananda Marga Way of Life, yet the Ananda Yuga magazine editor has selected this image for the pages of our Ananda Marga magazine - Ananda Yuga.

Please pay attention to the use of the blanket underneath the shoulders in the below photo. This blanket is the cause of the deformation of the cervical spine and leads to the wrong way of doing the asana. But this is populate in fake yoga and unfortunately from there Guniindrananda has dragged this fake yoga tactic into Ananda Marga.

​

Here again, in case you did not read this before the photo, please pay attention to the use of the blanket underneath the shoulders in the above photo. This blanket is the cause of the deformation of the cervical spine and leads to the wrong way of doing the asana. But this is popular in fake yoga and unfortunately from there Guniindrananda has dragged this fake yoga tactic into Ananda Marga.

So how ironic this is. Dada G used this photo in his magazine for an article entitled “What is yoga”, yet this photo itself is fake yoga and has nothing to do with our tantric yoga as given by Sadguru Baba.

Actually, Dadaji did not just make this blunder once - he did it twice. First he posted this bogus photo on page 6 of “What is Yoga”,  and then on page 32 in the article titled “Dyspepsia of Yogic Treatment”, Dadaji again placed this fake yoga photo. So Dada G committed the same mistake twice. And the worst part about it is that he did this all in the name of Sadguru Baba. Dada presents it as if Guru appreciates this fake yoga photo. Because the article “What is Yoga” is originally from Guru’s book Ananda Vacanamrtam and the article “Dyspepsia of Yogic Treatment” is originally from Guru’s book Yogic Treatments. And Dada put this fake yoga photo with both articles - i.e. twice.


From Senior Acarya Diary

Important: Baba has included sarvaungasana in Ananda Marga because this asana helps maintain the proper secretion in the thyroid gland which is vital for proper health. This asana naturally massage the thyroid gland and balances the secretions. Baba guides this in senior acarya diary. But due to this fake pose with the blanket the whole thing is ruined. Now the benefits of those pose for the thyroid gland are lost.

Certainly, every sincere Ananda Margii will understand the ills and dogmas related with this photo. Even then for your convenience, here is a short list for your review.

Dada G. surrendered to pseudo-culture

Please pay attention to the blanket under his shoulders because this use of a blanket is not allowed in Ananda Marga asana system. That will ruin the entire asana. Baba has given a well thought-out procedure and this Dada is misguiding margiis at-large. By doing opposite of Guru’s guideline and doing that which Baba prohibits.

#1: In the Ananda Yuga magazine, the person shown on page 6 and page 32 is a display of pseudo-culture and fake yoga. In the recent edition of the Ananda Yuga magazine the editors grabbed a fake yoga photo from the web and placed it twice in Ananda Yuga..

#2: Because the person is using this blanket, the asana cannot be done properly. Notice how the person’s chin is not touching his chest. Yet Guru’s exact guideline in Caryacarya is that - “The chin must be in contact with the chest.” (For more details please Baba’s Caryacarya quote #1 which is listed below)


Infusing inferiority complex on readers of AM magazine

This entire display contravenes our social code - Caryacarya. One should always remember that Ananda Marga is a revolution and Baba has created Ananda Marga to eradicate all sorts of pseudo-culture. Those who are non-margiis or new to Ananda Marga will think it is okay to place the blanket underneath the shoulders in this asana. But it is not fine to to place the blanket underneath the shoulders in this asana according to Ananda Marga.

The Ananda Yuga magazine is in Hindi only so most readers will be from the Indian subcontinent. Yet here, a white western man is on display - further infusing a cultural inferiority complex upon Hindi speakers etc. Already, since the British rule, India has surrendered itself to European dominance and western values. And this photo further cements this idea in the minds of Hindi readers.

New margiis who are not aware about Ananda Marga ideals will get the wrong idea that Ananda Marga is submerged in pseudo-culture by seeing this photo in the Ananda Yuga magazine. They will think we are just a carbon copy of so many fake yoga outfits that are sprouting up all over the place. They will not realise that ours is a true tantric path.

Keeping the above points in mind kindly again see the photo up above which appears on cover page of Ananda Yuga, Hindi.


Dada G. selling out to pseudo-culture

In all circumstances our aim is to preach and demonstrate Ananda Marga ideology: To teach genuine points of bhagavad dharma - not compromise with the ways of pseudo-culture. The entire world is waiting for something great to happen, i.e. to receive the teachings of Sadguru. Yet here we see our Ananda Yuga editor Ac Guniindrananda jii selling-out and surrendering to materialistic, societal trends.

All this is going on in the name of our Ananda Marga magazine - Ananda Yuga. People are bound to think that Ananda Marga yoga is something cheap and commercial, not dharmic and righteous. Because they see that the Ananda Yuga editor Dada Guniindrananda is teaching yoga by putting photos of fake yoga asanas in their magazine and preaching the virtues of pseudo-culture values etc. It is really an awful scene and I feel badly how the Ananda Yuga editor Guniindrananda jii has fallen from the dharma of Ananda Marga and landed in the dungeon of fake yoga.

By failing to live up to the ideal of our Ananda Marga ideology, Ac Guniindrananda jii verily depriving humanity of dharmic teachings. His duty is to spread dharma but he are doing just opposite.

Baba created Ananda Marga to save this situation but this Dada is plunged in pseudo-culture, unfortunately. In getting caught up in the winds of fake yoga, Ac Guniindrananda jii blatantly contradicts his conduct rules and vows by selecting and placing this degrading and denigrating photo on pages 6 & 32 of the magazine.


Conclusion

By the above it is quite evident that Dada Guniindrananda jii has fallen from the path and slipped into the dungeon of materialistic pseudo-culture. Dada jii’s mind has degenerated from the path of renunciation as he is indulged in pseudo-culture and the fake yoga movement. By his actions it is clear Dada jii is degenerated. Ananda Marga ideology guides one thing and Ac Guniindrananda jii is doing something completely different. That is the sad state of affairs.

Namaskar,
in Him,
Nirmala' Singh

Only for committed margiis

Baba is very clear how to perform each and every asana including sarvaungasana.

Caryacarya states, “Sarváuṋgásana (all-limbs posture): (a) Lie down on your back. Gradually raise the entire body and keep it straight, resting its weight on your shoulders. The chin must be in contact with the chest. Support both sides of your trunk with your hands. The toes must remain together; the eyes must be directed at the toes.” (1)

Caryacarya states, “Males must wear a Kaopiina (laungot́á), and there should be no other clothing on the body.” (2)

Now the point is very clear that the person doing sarvaungasana is using a rolled up blanket under the shoulders. And this completely violates Guru’s system - but placing a folded / rolled-up blanket is all the fanfare in the fake yoga movement.

The person is wearing pseudo-culture tights, and not a laungota. This is completely wrong. Because by seeing this photo people will not understand that practitioners should do asanas wearing a laungota. And a laungota can be presented in a very sentient manner just as is done in Caryacarya part 3. But the editors did not do that and instead chose this pseudo-culture depiction without any laungota.

All of the above points are related with the above fake yoga depiction of this asana which was presented on pages 6 & 32 of the Ananda Yuga magazine.

Morbid obesity: Learning from this great loss

Namaskar,

Sadguru Baba says, “In the world today a handful of people who do no physical work, but live by their wits, have appropriated to themselves most of the wealth of humanity, so they are able to buy comparatively expensive foods, and use them to satisfy their taste buds. As a result, they, on the one hand, swell with unnecessary fat, while, on the other hand, those people doing hard manual labour are forced to live in poverty and deprived of the ghee, butter and sweets they need to maintain their bodies...So my point is that obesity is primarily a disease of well-off, non-labouring society.”     (1)

​

Sadly, the problem of obesity is prevalent amongst our Wts. Here above is one morbidly obese Dada - the late Ac Nigamananda Avt.

Some may say that since Dadaji is dead then there is no need to publicly talk about his history with obesity etc. However, according to Sadguru Baba we cannot ignore history. Those communities that ignored history failed to learn from past missteps. Rather they repeated those errors and suffered the consequences. So our duty is to learn from the food habits of Dada Nigamananda and help others learn as well. Otherwise, people will suffer a similar way.

Those around Dadaji know that he always cooked and fried his food in fat (oil) - right up till the very end. And sadly this led to his premature passing.

Obesity itself is a deadly disease. Those who are obese will in due course face life-threatening diseases like coronary heart disease, cancer, and strokes.

Ananda Marga Yogic Remedies guides us, “High-salaried office workers, rich businessmen and parasitic politicians are those who suffer most from obesity…. Another distinguishing mark of such people is that they are most greedy for those foods which are most fattening; that is, when invited outside, they will never even by mistake eat much in the way of vegetable preparations – instead they will eat a lot of luci, fish, meat and sweets. As they grow older and their livers become weak, they will lose that voracious appetite. Then they will sorrowfully say to people that they cannot consume food as they used to. Their muscles become flaccid and they begin to suffer from acidity, constipation or intestinal troubles. Fat accumulated on the chest affects the heart and lungs and makes it difficult for these organs to function.” (2)


Losing existing Wts / workers faster than we are gaining new ones

And verily the overwhelming majority of our Wts are not regular in doing asanas and fasting - rather they consume junk food. And that is the problem. In result, in our organisation so many Dadas are     suffering from high blood pressure and high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes etc.

Nowadays, many Dadas in uniform are obese. Thus we are facing a deficit situation with our workers. We are losing existing workers faster than we are gaining new ones. All in all it is an unfortunate     state of affairs.

Namaskar,
in Him,
Prabhat

How to treat obesity

- Dietary guidelines for treating obesity

Yogic Treatments teaches us, "Some obese people try simply to eat less, surmising that in doing so they will be able to lose weight. This is not a correct approach, because such dieting can weaken the patient to such an extent that he or she cannot even get up or walk. What the patient needs is a simple, carefully selected diet. For instance:

1. One should drink about four or five seers of water daily, but not much at a time. As far as possible the patient should always mix lemon juice with the water.

2. Completely stop taking non-vegetarian food, ghee and oil. Three-fourths to a seer of diluted milk should be taken, a little at a time, a number of times during the day.

3. Depending upon the appetite, all kinds of fruit in plentiful quantity, preferably sour juicy types, can be taken. These fruits are very beneficial for the obese.

4. Reduce or eliminate rice, rut́i and pulses, and instead eat green vegetables and soups made from them in greater quantity.

5. One must reduce the use of raw and refined sugar, but may use a little honey – nor more than three spoonfuls a day." (3)


- Important dos and don'ts for treating obesity

"Rules of fasting and sun-bathing should be observed by patients. Generally speaking, obesity is the disease of the sedentary and the greedy. So as far as possible, simple food should be eaten. Instead of luci and puri, dry rut́i should be taken. And patients should give up their habit of sitting and giving orders, and instead should do the work by their own physical efforts." (4)

Under-secretion causes cruelty

Due to defects in their glands some people become cruel & dogmatic.

Ananda Marga ideology says, "If there is under-secretion of the hormones of the testes glands, a youth will develop less kindness, and less hair will grow in the armpits and pubic region. If you see a man with these physical characteristics, then and there you can come to a conclusion about the extent of his kindness. Moreover, such a person will most likely support dogma. He will not have the moral strength to protest against dogma (including scriptural dogma), and he will not support a new idea." (1)

Didis & junk food

Namaskar,
For the welfare of all, we should inform our Didis and everyone in Ananda Marga that they are jeopardising their health - as well as the health of others - by cooking with aluminum. Clearly the below two Didis are not aware of the inherent health risks and hazards associated with cooking food in aluminum pots.

Unfortunately in the below photo, two of our Wt Didis are cooking food in big, cook pots made out of aluminum. Yet with high heat didis are stirring food in those hazardous, aluminum cookware. For more logic and reasoning please continue reading.

​

Unfortunately in the above photo, two of our Wt Didis are cooking food in big, cook pots made out of aluminum. Yet with high heat didis are stirring food in those hazardous, aluminum cookware. For more logic and reasoning please continue reading.

There are multiple issues at play here:

#1. Aluminum is toxic and it seeps into the food.

#2: Please pay attention to the round, stainless steel plate directly in front of Didi. She is depositing fried foods there, but food cooked in oil at high heat contains acrylamide which is carcinogenic. Basically whenever carbohydrates - and there are thousands of them such as potatoes, pasta, wheat & corn products etc are cooked in heated oil then a byproduct that results is acrylamide. And this acrylamide is a toxic poison that causes cancer.


Deep fried food is toxic & carcinogenic

#3: It is sad that more than a few of our didis are suffering from cancer. And some died very early at a young age - before midlife. Tragically, they chose a lifestyle that was very detrimental for their health. We cannot ignore this as we need our Didis to remain healthy. Please spread this message everywhere.

#4: When food is deep fried or when the oil is burned oil, then that oil loses its vitality and becomes toxic and inedible. But Didiji is making stir-fried food. This type of food is very bad for human health. Everybody knows that any food not good for body or carcinogenic food is tamasik.

#5: Some simple and naive people who take everything in a literal way may ask, “Which guidelines has Baba given in Caryacarya that shows that the toxin acrylamide and aluminum cookware are forbidden in Ananda Marga?” Yet rational margiis know that Baba’s guideline is that any food not good for health should not be eaten as it is not sentient.

#6: So today in this age when we come across so many warning about about toxic and carcinogenic items, then we should be careful not to put anything in the body that invites premature death.

For more logic and reasoning please continue reading.

In Him,
Renu

The faces of the Didis have been cropped from the above photo to protect their privacy. After all this problem is not limited to the above two Didis. Rather this is a general problem.

News article about toxicity of aluminum cookware

It is well-known that cooking in aluminum pots is hazardous to one’s health and poses serious risks. This below study even links aluminum to Alzheimer's disease.

Aluminium poisoning may be fuelling Alzheimer’s disease, a leading professor has claimed.

Professor Christopher Exley, of Keele University, said that exposure to the metal causes deposits in the human brain which can exacerbate other problems.

Writing in the journal Frontiers in Neurology he said: “We are all accumulating a known neurotoxin in our brain from our conception to our death.
“The presence of aluminium in the human brain should be a red flag alerting us all to the potential dangers of the aluminium age
“How do we know that Alzheimer’s disease is not the manifestation of chronic aluminium toxicity in humans?” (Courtesy of  - see link below)

Baba’s various teachings on food - #1

Ananda Marga philosophy states, "Cells generally grow out of light, air, water and the food we eat. The nature of food and drink has its effect upon the cells, and consequently also influences the human mind. Obviously each and every sádhaka, or spiritual aspirant, should be very cautious in selecting food. Suppose a person takes támasika, or static, food. The result will be that after a certain period, static cells will grow and exercise a static influence on the aspirant's mind. Human beings must select sáttvika, or sentient, or rájasika, or mutative, food according to time, place and person. This will lead to the birth of sentient cells, which in turn will produce a love for spiritual practice and help in attaining psychic equilibrium and equipoise, leading to immense spiritual elevation." (1)

Sadguru Baba says, "If cells are affected by food and water, and if the nature of the cells affects the nature of the human mind, obviously human beings should eat the correct diet, because food and mind are closely related to each other. Any food item, whether good or bad, must not be taken indiscriminately because it may lead to mental degeneration. Sincere spiritual aspirants must follow the dictum: Áhárashuddhao sattvashudhih [“A sentient diet produces a sentient body”]. Only food which is helpful in keeping the body and mind sentient should be eaten." (2)

For more logic and reasoning please continue reading.


Baba’s various teachings on food - #2

Ananda Marga philosophy states "The human body is constituted of innumerable living cells. These cells develop and grow with the help of similar living entities. The nature of your living cells will be formed in accordance with the type of food you take. Ultimately all these together will affect your mind to some extent. If the cells of the human body grow on rotten and bad-smelling food, or on the fresh flesh of animals in which mean tendencies predominate, it is but natural that the mind will have a tendency of meanness. The policy of eating, without due consideration, whatever is available cannot be supported in any case, even though there may not be any question of hiḿsá or ahiḿsá. It should not be your policy to do what you wish. You must perform actions after due thought. For continued subsistence a policy will have to be adopted for taking food." (3)

Ananda Marga ideology states, "“Śaśt́haiṋca pramit́áháro”: 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." (4)

Baba’s various teachings on food - #3

   Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Only food which is helpful in keeping the body and mind sentient should be eaten.”
   “Every object of the world is dominated by one of the three principles – sentient, mutative, and static. Food is no exception, and according to its intrinsic nature, is divided into the same three categories.”
   “Sentient food: Food which produces sentient cells and is thus conducive to physical and mental well-being is sentient. Examples of sentient food are rice, wheat, barley, all kinds of pulses, fruit, milk and milk products.”
   “Mutative food: Food which is good for the body and may or may not be good for the mind, but certainly not harmful for the mind, is mutative.”
   “Static food: Food which is harmful for the mind and may or may not be good for the body is static. Onion, garlic, wine, stale and rotten food, meat of large animals such as cows and buffaloes, fish, eggs, etc., are static.”
   “Very often people eat food without knowing its intrinsic qualities. For example, the milk of a cow which has just given birth. Or white eggplant, khesárii pulse [horse gram], red puni [Basella rubra Linn.], or mustard leaves, all of which often grew out of rotten matter.”
   “In order to have a balanced mind and to progress spiritually, human beings will have to pay attention to the qualities of the food they eat. The idea that “I will just do my sádhaná and eat any food, proper or improper” will not do.” (5)
