Insulting Sadguru... - part B

Namaskar,
Here below is the second part of this letter - the first part was posted a few hours ago. Only when you have read and understood the first part will this next section be clear. Here is a link to the first part:

This entire matter of putting Baba’s photo under the dogmatic Hindu deity continues here. This concerns the sanctity of Ista and is fundamental to safeguarding the sanctity of Guru’s photo. On this point there has to be cent-per-cent strictness. The sanctity of Guru’s photo should never be violated. And one way we see people violating this rule is by placing Guru’s pratikriti in a lower place. We should follow the fundamental of Ananda Marga ideology.

Moreover, Caryacarya guides us that sadhakas of the Marga are to have maximum regard for Guru’s pratikrti [photo] as well.

Ananda Marga philosophy teaches us, “You shall protect, in all respects and at all costs, the dignity of your treasures and the sanctity of...the pratikrti [photo] of Márga Guru.” ¹


List of wrongdoers

Here are some of the many Wts responsible for the ceremony where Baba’s image was humiliated.

​

From left to right their names are:
Aca. Ananda Tapomaya Avadhutika
Aca. Ananda Rupadhara Avadhutika
Ac. Diiptimanananda Avt (SOS Dada)
Ac. Sarvajiitananda Avt
Ac. Parinirvanananda Avt
Ac. Vedaprajinananda Avt
Ac. Iishvarakrsnananda Avt
Ac. Dayashillananda Avt (back)
 Ac. Abhiramananda Avt (front) (SS Dada)
Ac. Shankarananda Avt

But again, being the senior-most acarya, Dada Shanakarananda is the chief person in this ugly episode:

Important teaching

Ananda Marga philosophy teaches us, “You shall protect, in all respects and at all costs, the dignity of your treasures and the sanctity of...the pratikrti [photo] of Márga Guru.” ²

Namaskar,

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

It is very sad that some member of our Wt cadre are unable to follow this most foundational and fundamental code of tantra: Respect for Guru.

Dirty deeds of Dada Shankarananda & others

Namaskar,
In our Ananda Marga, Sadguru Baba has an unparalleled place; as the Mahasambhuti He is above all.

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." ¹

And when Baba is the most Supreme One, then every true disciple will have maximum respect and reverence for Him. Unfortunately, look at the below scene that took place.

Sinful deed to humiliate Baba

This is the report of one dance program at a large public venue. The organisers and hosts built a shrine / puja table and placed a huge 3-D figure of dancing Hindu deity.
And Baba’s photo has been placed under the feet of that Hindu deity to humiliate Baba and Ananda Marga. This was done by fundamentalist Hindu under the direction of a few avadhutas.

Please see the below image.
(a) On the very top there is a Hindu deity encircled by a golden arch.
(b) Baba’s photo is below the Hindu deity.
(c) The feet of the Hindu deity are on Baba’s head.
(d) This display was purposely done to show that Baba is controlled by the Hindu deity. So Baba’s status is under the feet of the Hindu deity.
(e) To the left and right of Baba’s photo, there are two women figures who are worshiping the Hindu deity with Hindu rituals - holding sweets and lamps.
(f) By this way, the Hindu deity is all-powerful and Baba is under this deity.
(g) This was all done to show that the Guru of Ananda Marga is far inferior to Hindu dogma.

Baba’s photo is placed in such a way as to humiliate Him. This was all done at a reception where the majority of attendees were Hindus. See below how the feet of the Hindu deity are on Baba’s head. This is a sign of of gross humiliation. Those organisers want all to accept the greatness of this Hindu deity. This whole situation is unfortunate. Shockingly, all this was done under the direction of Ac Shankarananda Avt who was the ringleader. While many other Dadas followed his lead. These degraded souls participated in this sin, i.e. this disdainful act to Guru because they were promised a large sum of money by the organisers. With that greed, these degraded avadhutas accepted this public humiliation of Baba and Ananda Marga. And they allowed the superiority of the dogmatic Hindu deity to be highlighted. This is the way it has been displayed - see here. It is qutie disgraceful and painful to see how our own avadhutas encouraged such things for the greed of a few pennies.  By this way, those Hindus in attendance were pleased by that display that showed Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji as an ordinary pseudo-guru who is surrendering under the feet of the great Hindu deity.

Ananda Marga philosophy says, “You shall protect, in all respects and at all costs, the dignity of your treasures and the sanctity of...the pratikrti [photo] of Márga Guru.” ²

Those who contravene Guru’s teachings will have to face the grave consequences as they have committed sin by insulting Guru.

Namaskar,
In Him,
Pankaj Patel


The list of culprits

The main culprit is Acarya Shankarananda Avt as he was the most senior Dada present. That is why he is most blameworthy. For a list of all others involved as well as why our avadhutas did this, kindly watch for the follow-up letter on this topic.

Please communicate with Dada Shankarananda about this matter - here is his email address: avt_shankar@yahoo.com

More details coming soon...
