Margii genital mutilation: due to distortion
Namaskar,
In the original Caryacarya Baba forbids circumcision and gives the directive that the foreskin should be kept in tact for one’s entire life.
CC publishers devious agenda to please certain religions
Some vested interests Tiljala Publications (TP) secretly, silently, and stealthily changed the English edition of Caryacarya part 2 - unbeknownst to readers. This was serious betrayal by TP. This sin of circumcision was committed by TP to please followers of certain outdated religions.
In result, many harmful things happened including:
(a) thousands of infant margii boys were mutilated and still this is going on, andAcyutananda did this distortion with the approval of his boss, and that sin cannot be undone. So these TP are mahapatakiis because they cannot give it back to those victims. Now circumcised children are demanding Acyutananda to give back the foreskin. And Ananda Margiis are challenging Tiljala Publications (TP) about the distortion and Acyutananda and those in TP do not have any reply. It is so sad and shameful also.
(b) margiis around the globe got the wrong message about circumcision.

Dark & dangerous act: circumcision
Sadguru Baba warned us about the dangers of circumcision more than a half-century ago, i.e. 50+ years. If we do not educate others and spread His teachings then this dark and dangerous procedure of circumcision will be perpetuated. It will continue and more and more innocent babes will be tragically mutilated.
Here we are not just talking about the general society; this is going against Baba as thousands of circumcision are being done inside our AMPS on a regular, ongoing basis. We have to spread this news that circumcision is inhumane, barbaric, and dogmatic.
The below image shows how the barbaric circumcision of the new-born has destroyed the reproductive organ. See the photo of the child’s pubic area and groin. Due to circumcision, the infant has lost its organ and only a stump remains. And the scrotum has become grossly inflamed due to infection. Now the child will be maimed for life; it is so disgraceful. Up till now, as Ananda Margiis we could not propagate how circumcision is just an outdated, inhumane, torturous dogma. That is why billions are still suffering. Now see the below photo.

While there are innumerable reasons why barbaric circumcision does not belong in our Ananda Marga way of life, perhaps the clearest wording has been given by Sadguru Baba in the the original Caryacarya. And this is one of the most important books in Ananda Marga - as this text provides tenets central to guiding all of humanity.

Circumcision not approved in AM
Here below is the central idea of Guru’s teaching from Carycarya. As you will read, Baba is wholly against circumcision and categorically condemns it.
Here is the central idea of Guru’s teaching from Carycarya. As you will read, Baba is wholly against circumcision and categorically condemns it.
Tiljala distorted English Caryacarya
Circumcision is a dangerous dogma from those outdated religions. Baba condemns the ritual of circumcision . Yet the Tiljala publishers distorted the English edition of Caryacarya part 2 and inserted the dogma of circumcision to please followers of certain outdated religions. According to Baba there is no place for circumcision in our Ananda Marga teachings. Ananda Margiis must keep the foreskin.
This sin of circumcision was committed by Tiljala Publications to please followers of certain outdated religions.

What to do
Ananda Marga forbids and condemns the practice of circumcision.
Baba’s guideline is that from birth to pre-adolescence and the entire life the foreskin should be protected and remain as is. During the time of puberty, the body goes through many changes, the glands develop. and then at the time of puberty the foreskin becomes loose and naturally it can be pulled back.
Conclusion
Sadguru Baba wholly rejects the dogmatic and harmful practice of circumcision. Accordingly males in AMPS should not be circumcised - and we should educate all sectors of society about this dangerous practice. Baba guides us that circumcision is a harmful bad tradition of the Semitic religions, i.e. Islam, Christianity, and Judaism.
Here is the approach that we should take as Ananda Margiis:
(a) Baba says that up until the age of puberty and through the whole the foreskin should be kept.This is the natural, hygienic, and proper approach in our Ananda Marga way of life.
(b) Baba guides us that after the age of puberty, one should pull back the foreskin.
This sin of circumcision was committed by Tiljala Publications to please followers of certain outdated religions.

Dangers of barbaric circumcision
And now the medical profession has also warned about the inherent dangers and health hazards of circumcision. There is a growing movement of doctors who oppose circumcision as they feel it severely compromises the health of the baby.
A short video (link below) by one medical doctor discusses the medical ramifications of circumcision. These points include:
- high complication rate
- loss of tissue
- painful memory in neo-natal period
- excessive bleeding
- infection
- problems with urinary opening
- nerve cells destroyed
Specifically in the video, Mark D. Reiss, M.D., Executive Vice-President of Doctors Opposing Circumcision discusses the effects of circumcision upon the developing brain and the risks and complications of infant circumcision.
Doctors Opposing Circumcision (DOC) has written a Genital Integrity Policy to support its position that genital integrity provides the highest state of health and well-being. DOC's staff has had many letters published in medical journals. DOC has voiced strong opposition to the pro-circumcision Circumcision Policy Statement published by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
DOC receives complaints from parents of medical misbehavior regarding the foreskin and circumcision, and assists parents in filing complaints with medical licensing boards.
DOC collaborates with other human rights, children's rights, and genital integrity organizations, such as NOCIRC and Intact America, in the furtherance of their common goals. (Courtesy of Wikipedia)
Unfortunately, the Tiljala Publications Dept distorted the translation of point #2 of Sixteen Points in the English edition of Caryacarya part 2 whereby they have accepted circumcision. This has cause a lot of confusion and led many astray, causing some to unknowingly go against Sadguru Baba’s teachings.
Video: dangers of circumcision
This education video succinctly outlines the medically dangerous aspects of circumcision. This is not a graphic video but rather an informative talk where Dr. Reiss addresses this important topic.

How dogma of circumcision became a tradition
And here below Baba further classifies circumcision as a dogmatic ritual that has no place in our Ananda Marga this as a dogma:
Ananda Marga philosophy states, "Certain practices were not originally religious rituals, but traditions or customs. Long ago the Jews started practising circumcision. When Moses converted some of his contemporaries to Judaism, and later when Mohammed converted some local people to Islam, neither prophet dared to instruct their new followers to discard the old customs they followed, consequently the old customs continued after their conversion." (1)
So circumcision is nothing but a holdover custom from thousands of years; it not based on science or rationality. And it was adopted by the Semitic religions. Thus this harmful tradition has just been blindly passed on from one community to the next.
And here below Baba guides us how this irrational and harmful procedure of circumcision was blindly accepted by the people until today it just became an accepte dogma, embraced by people all over. Now is the time to educate the public and put an end to this barbaric practice of circumcision.

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Human beings readily accept traditions without seeking the reasons behind them. Since ancient days the semitic people have been observing the practice of circumcision. Moses and Mohammed accepted this system which today has become tradition.” (2)
