Baba
Distortion Letter #29: many errors in AV-10
Namaskar,
Here we embark on the 4th review of this discourse that begins at the 1:57 mark. This English audio is from Kolkata (11 Apr 1979), and the scanned page is from the book Ananda Vacanamrtam - 10 (chapter #3, “Parama Puruśa – the Primordial Cause”).
As has become quite evident, there is a stark disparity between what Baba actually spoke in English and what Tilaja Publications printed in the English edition, as the publishers discarded Baba’s original words. Kindly compare the printed words with the English Baba audio file (link below) of this same discourse.
Red underlined words are not Baba’s
Please listen to the sound file of Baba’s below discourse.
Look at the below scan: In just 3 lines of the newly reviewed section of the discourse there are 21 wrong words that were used instead of Sadguru Baba’ original words. These red underlined terms are not present in Baba’s original English audio. Baba did not say these things in English, rather they yet they tossed aside Baba’s original English words in His name. Verily, Tiljala Publications distorted the book. The time has come for margiis and Wts to remake all of Sadguru Baba’s book using the sound files of Baba’s discourses
Please listen to the sound file of Baba’s below discourse.
Please see this scan and start listening to this English audio file from 1:57 minute mark. The red underlined words are wrong. You will not find these words in Bábá’s audio. This is just an adulteration.
Please see the above scan and start listening from 1:57 minute mark. The red underlined words are distortions. In just 3 lines there are 21 wrong words that have been i not present in Baba’s original English audio. Reason being this publishers set aside Bba’s original English words. The time has come for margiis and Wts to remake all of Sadguru Baba’s book using the sound files of Baba’s discourses.
Same incorrect books Rudrananda reprints & sells
The discourses Tiljala Publications (TP) published in the Ananda Vacanamrtam series are filled with discrepancies and errors. This is readily apparent when comparing TP's printed AV books with what Baba spoke, i.e. the original sound files of those same discourses. And that deviation is the focal point of this letter. Bábá has spoken in a particular manner, but the publishers have printed something entirely different. Whatever Bábá spoke, they did not print verbatim in those books that were exclusively in English and Hindi. Unfortunately, Rudrananda's group reprints and sells those same wrong books in their own name. Sadly, they have not an iota of interest in fixing the discourses.
Please listen to the sound file of Baba’s discourse.
Not Baba's words
This above discourse was given by Sadguru Baba primarily in English, but Tilajala Publications did not print it in an accurate manner, even though this is the English edition, and Baba’s audio was given mostly in English. In the above AV book scan, the red underlined words are not Baba’s direct terms. Rather Dada Sarvatmananda and Tiljala Publications polluted the book by inserting their own words.
All this is extremely important because when sadhakas pick-up one of Baba’s books they expect to be reading Baba’s words. This is especially the case when Baba delivered His discourse primarily in English and the text is also mostly in English. Yet, as is shown above, we are not given Baba’s exact words - but rather something else in the name of Baba. It is not the direct speech of Parama Purusa Baba. That is wrong; and, that is the heart of the issue at hand.
Please listen to the sound file of Baba’s above discourse.
Conclusion
As His disciples, Sadguru Baba has entrusted us with His divine discourses to lead humanity from darkness to light. So the fact that the printed AM books are not accurate depictions of Baba’s discourses is sinful. The time has come for margiis and Wts to remake all of Sadguru Baba’s book using the sound files of Baba’s discourses.
In Him,
Pralayankar Deva
Note: Today we could only do this much so tomorrow we will do more.
