Bad news: blunder in AV-10 AM book...
Namaskár,
Here following is an example of a contradiction in our Ánanda Márga ideological literature. It is sad but obvious that this happened due to the fault of our Tiljala Publications department. Let us come and find out about the contradiction.
Yellow is Correct, Green is False
Quote #1 is highlighted in yellow, and it contradicts quote #2 green.
Quote #1:
Ánanda Márga teaching says, “The journey of the Vedic language began approximately fifteen thousand years ago and it attained its full development about ten thousand years ago.” (1) (Derivation, Emanation and Distortion (Discourse 19) 23 October 1983, Calcutta)
Quote #2:
Ánanda Márga Book says, "Since the Vedic language originally came from the Russian language, there is a close relationship between the two." (2) (Ánanda Vacanámrtam Part 10-1, On the Savitr Rk 9 April 1979, Kolkata)
Review:
(A) Quote #1 says that the Vedic language is prehistoric as it is fifteen thousand years old.
(B) Quote #2 says the Vedic language is modern as it came into being very recently.
Conclusion
Quote #1 is from the Ananda Marga book, “Varna Vijiana”. Quote #2 is from the publication “Ánanda Vacanámrtam Part 10”. These two quotes contradict each other.
Any contradiction in a given set of teachings breaks the backbone of that philosophy. Ánanda Márga philosophy is not contradictory, but due to errors by our Tiljala Publications team this contradiction occurred. It is sad and tragic that Sadguru Baba’s teachings are not printed properly.
Ánanda Márga philosophy states, "The scriptures containing spiritual injunctions must be totally flawless." (3)
Quote #1 is correct; and Quote #2 has been wrongly printed.
At His lotus feet,
Jyoti

Our Ananda Marga teachings are logical and rational, and wholly consistent with basic historical facts. Unfortunately look at what has happened in our Ananda Marga books.
Brainless blunder by Tiljala Publications
Here below Tiljala Publications (TP) has wrongly published that: “the Vedic language originally came from the Russian language.”
The below is from the English edition of Ananda Vacanámrtam Part 10-1, “On Savitr Rk”.
~ See above: TP did huge blunder ~
This is 100% wrong. Russian is a modern language and Vedic is an ancient language. Vedic did not come from the Russian language. Even non-margiis know this. So what Tiljala Publications has printed is bogus and erroneous.
Sadguru Baba’s actual statement
Here is what Baba actually spoke as transcribed from the original sound file:
Sadguru Baba says< “বৈদিক ভাষাটা originally of Russian origin, সেই জন্যে বৈদিক ভাষার সঙ্গে রুশী ভাষারও নিকট সম্পর্ক | আমাদের রুশ ভাষাতে নস | আর এ তো ওই নস, নঃ, কতকটা একই |” (4) (V-10-1, On Savitr Rk)
So Baba’s point is completely clear. When Baba says “originally of Russian origin”, that means thousands and thousands of years ago the ancient Vedic language was spoken in that land mass that is now known as present day Russia. And from that ancient Vedic language, so many modern languages were later formed. Those with a balanced outlook will easily understand that the ancient Vedic language did not come from the modern-day Russian language.
Culmination
Ananda Marga ideology is dharmic and true on all levels. It is sad that those in Tiljala Publications are printing Baba’s books is such a sloppy manner where basic, fundamental errors are rampant.
Ananda Marga philosophy states, “The scriptures containing spiritual injunctions must be totally flawless.” (5)
Here below is how TP wrongly printed this in the latest English edition of Ananda Vacanamrtam Part 10-1, On Savitr Rk.
