Baba
Note: This letter is only for those who have reverence for Sadguru Baba and try to learn and follow His Ananda Marga ideology.
Namaskar,
Look here below: Everyone is doing sadhana while Rasasiddhananda is thinking all kinds of mundane thoughts and then suddenly the thought came in his mind to take a selfie. All this occurred in the middle of dharmacakra.
See the dada on the right side. That is Rasasiddhananda and he has his eyes open during dharmacakra. Everyone else is very sincere in their sadhana and he is just sitting there as a sham - a phony display of sadhana.
Then Rasasiddhananda took more selfies. After that Rasasiddhananda put his selfies on Facebook, so others should emulate his behaviour - which Baba forbids. During sadhana if other thoughts are coming one should avoid them and repeat the mantra. But this Rasasiddhananda is doing the exact opposite - he is sitting in sadhana and doing something else. Here below Baba condemns such type of dealing.
Ananda Marga ideology states, “Suppose someone is sitting in meditation for one or two hours and thinking all sorts of undesirable thoughts – this is worse than not doing sádhaná at all because in this way the Sádhaka’s mind becomes even more degraded. There is a local proverb, “Gela bhaesá pánii me khuńt́ásamet” – when the buffalo runs into the pond, it drags its binding rope and stake with it.” (1)
Recurring sin like demon Ravana
There are two mistakes:
Now my request to sincere Wts and margiis is to guide him to not do such things. If Rasasiddhananda cannot manage avadhuta life then he should give up his dress and leave, otherwise he is harming AM by his actions. He is so debauched he is incriminating himself; this is the extreme epitome of nihilism.
Bhaktas & true Wts never glorify themselves
Prabhat Samgiita #0337 gives the guideline to never glorify oneself.
The above song (Prabhat Samgiita #0337) teaches us that one should always propagate Ananda Marga ideology and sing the glory of Parama Purusa, and never glorify oneself.
In Him,

Kindly write to Rasasiddhananda and request him not to behave in this way:
~ In-depth study ~
No one likes to hear the self-praise of others
Ananda Marga ideology says, "“Kiirttaniiyah sadáharih”. Kiirtana should be done on Hari and on no other entity. One should not praise oneself or any other person. There are many people who are very fond of praising themselves by telling everyone what wonderful things they have done, but, as mentioned in this sloka, kiirtana is not for one’s own self but for Hari. Even though people are taught to do kiirtana for Hari, they still make the mistake of praising themselves too much. Sometimes their self-praise is so intense that others are obliged to say, “Please stop praising yourself so much.” They forget that their self-applause is rather boring for others. Human beings should realize that no one likes to hear the self-praise of others." (2)
Self-applause is boring for others
Here is the Rasasiddhananda who took multiple selfies of himself in DC. Please see here how this ego-centric Dada even signed his own photo like some teenage pop star etc.

Recurring sin like demon Ravana
There are two mistakes:
(a) in the name of sadhana he is just sitting there in a hypocritical manner at the front of the room so no one can see that his eyes are open;Suppose in the worst case scenario Rasasiddhananda really cannot do sadhana, and he never does sadhana, and he is always doing something else in the name of sadhana. In spite of that, as long as he is in uniform he should participate in dharmacakra in the proper way and not start talking selfies with his eyes open during dharmacakra and putting that selfie up on Facebook. By this way Rasasiddhananda is giving the negative message to others to do the same thing, as if this is proper sadhana etc. If you deeply analyse the situation, his sin is multiplied. It is just like mythological demon Ravana who committed the sin of abducting Sita while dressed in sannyasi garb. This had a recurring negative effect for generations. Here a similar event is going on. Rasasiddhananda did wrong and he is monk, but then he put it on Facebook to show the whole world, thereby multiplying his sin by misguiding others.
(b) he is posting and publicly showing his negative deed, which Baba prohibits, on Facebook. Because in His chapter on education, Baba states that if guardians cannot control their drinking or smoking then at least they should not smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol in front of the children as this sets a bad example on those impressionable youths.
Now my request to sincere Wts and margiis is to guide him to not do such things. If Rasasiddhananda cannot manage avadhuta life then he should give up his dress and leave, otherwise he is harming AM by his actions. He is so debauched he is incriminating himself; this is the extreme epitome of nihilism.
Bhaktas & true Wts never glorify themselves
Prabhat Samgiita #0337 gives the guideline to never glorify oneself.
“Kono avakáshe káháro sakáshe, nijere pracár karibo ná, ámi,Purport #0337: O’ Parama Purusa, before anybody I will not glorify myself, I will not do self-publicity. I have come on this earth to serve all, and do the work which You have allotted me. Your teachings are my everything. In my wakeful state, dream, and sleep I will think about You only. I will not ideate on anything else. I will never glorify myself in any shape or form. I will sing Your glory, I will not do self-propaganda, O’ Parama Purusa….
nijere pracár karibo ná
esechi karite tomár karma,tava váńii mor práńera dharma
shayane svapane ninde jágarańe, tomá vai kichu smaribo ná ámi,
tomá vai kichu smaribo ná” (Prabhat Samgiita #0337)
The above song (Prabhat Samgiita #0337) teaches us that one should always propagate Ananda Marga ideology and sing the glory of Parama Purusa, and never glorify oneself.
