Baba
False info in AM publication
Namaskar,
All senior margiis know about those special demonstrations given by Baba in 1969-70, and also that He performed other demonstrations before and after 1969-70 as well.
And this is also described in certain discourses on spiritual demonstrations published in Ananda Marga Philosophy in a Nutshell (part 5). Specifically, those discourses are related with the spiritual demonstrations of 1969 in Ranchi. And the publishers included a description of those demonstrations in the printed discourse. Unfortunately, those insertions create a lot of confusion.
For instance, in the chapter “Equalization of Saḿskáras", there is a description of a demonstration wherein the individual saḿskáras of two sadhakas were removed and the same set of spiritual saḿskáras were infused in them.
But the publishers hid the fact of who did this to those two sadhakas. Who was it who used their spiritual power to do this demonstration. Who was the key personality that did this. That part was hidden. This demonstration happened 50 years ago and ambiguous and misleading things were written. And still today the truth has not been presented; the text has not been fixed. That is the main theme of this letter.

Distortion in demonstration narration
So the key point is there is no other third person or party who made their samskaras wholly identical. This was all done by Baba - this is His demonstration. But the description inserted into the Ananda Marga Philosophy Nutshell book gives the notion that those two sadhakas got that state of spiritual realisation by the efforts of xyz whose name is not written. So again, here lies the serious distortion of fact: Because the undisputed truth is that Parama Purusa Baba graciously bestowed that state to those two sadhakas. It is most unfortunate the writer lacked the requisite strength to write the truth.
Why spiritual demonstrations were needed
The question is why did Baba opt to give demonstrations on sadhakas those days. The answer lies in the notion that when Mahasambhuti Sadguru propounds any philosophy then He gives both a well-knit, logical, philosophical side and the practical side as well - i.e. a demonstration. Without that people will not be able to believe that such a high spiritual state really exists. So if Baba would not have given those demonstrations of all those different states, then many would not have believed that that spiritual state is something real or attainable.
So demonstrations were needed to give sadhakas the practical experience that spiritual realisation is not just something theoretical. That is why in 1969 Baba presented this part of His spiritual philosophy by giving various demonstrations.

Guru’s grace
As we know, the main cause of getting that state is His causeless grace. That is how aspirants come into that state - regardless of the level of attainment. Without the grace of Parama Purusa one cannot advance in the spiritual realm. Yet, this very basic truth has been undermined by the way they inserted the descriptions of those demonstrations. Because those descriptions have been written as if the sadhaka attained that state exclusively by the efforts of xyz. When, in reality, it was all due to Baba’s divine grace.
Still there are thousands of senior margiis around the globe who can bear witness to the fact that these that such demonstrations were only done by Baba - He graced them to happen.
Senior Margiis watched on countless occasions when Baba took His stick and touched those sadhakas. And the end result was that those sadhakas selected for the demonstration got that spiritual realisation in the way He desired. All these facts are known today. But we should not forget that tomorrow, that means after 100 years, then most of the persons who were witness to those demonstrations will no longer be present with us as a witness. Then these false narrations of demonstrations from Ananda Marga Philosophy in a Nutshell will be treated as truth, ie. wrong will be accepted as right.

Conclusion: errors get embedded
And people will not know the fact that Baba was directly behind all these demonstrations The future society will be deprived of this cosmic truth that Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji Himself gave such demonstrations, and that this was the way in which He played His divine liila.
Those who do not have proper bhakti may think this is one ordinary matter. But those who have devotion can easily think that the distortion of truth - to any degree - is detrimental and harmful. But on this higher-most spiritual teaching, how can we accept this distortion in our Ananda Marga scriptures.
So these improper narrations about these demonstrations which have been inserted into Ananda Marga Philosophy in a Nutshell should be fixed without any delay. They should be rewritten to express the beautiful way in which Baba graced His ordinary disciples with spiritual realisation. Otherwise it is harmful and misleading and, the more time that goes by it will become increasingly difficult to correct.

Ananda Marga philosophy states, "Hence in the realm of dharma, the only true guide and controller, motivating force and protector of the people, is an excellent and comprehensive ideology which provides definite clear-cut and bold directions for all aspects of human life-- from one's personal daily routine to one's social activities and collective motivation, to the spiritual inspiration which brings one closer to God. A scripture which does not fulfill these conditions is not worthy of being called a scripture at all...Thus the Scriptures containing spiritual injunctions must be totally flawless." (1)
In Him,
Namaskar,
Gurucharan
Wrongly written: sadhaka achieved due to efforts of xyz
Here one demonstration is described whereby Sadguru Baba graciously removed the samskaras of two sadhakas so they felt complete oneness.
Please pay attention to the highlighted line which gives the notion that someone with their spiritual strength infused spiritual energy into these two subjects. Here the publishers deliberately omitted Baba’s name. Why? Because those publishers lacked the requisite courage. Yet this was all imparted by Baba so there is no logic to hide the name. Please read below and see wrong way it is printed in our Ananda Marga books.
“On 12th May 1969, at Ranchi jagrti, the following incident took place. While two sádhakas were meditating their individual saḿskáras were removed and the same set of spiritual saḿskáras were infused in them. Immediately they rushed to each other and embraced so tightly that it was impossible to separate them. They lay unconscious, locked in one anothers grasp. They felt a deep bond of love for each other – they had no sense of discrimination – and their bodies begun to shiver. As they have the same saḿskáras they wanted to become one. Since both of them had the same feeling, the same life, the same of mind and the same soul, why should they want to remain in the separate bodies? In the physical sphere, spatial gap between two separate entities cannot be removed altogether. Thus externally it still appeared as if there were two bodies, but internally they are one. Had nothing been done they would have remained in each other’s embrace until the very last moment due to their identical saḿskáras. But separate samskaras were infused in them – in one the vrtti of anger was infused in one of them, and in the other the vrtti of shame – and they immediately continued with their meditation as before.” (2)The above described demonstration has been inserted into the book, Ananda Marga Philosophy in a Nutshell part 5. And this inserted description of a demonstration makes it look like the sadhaka achieved that realization due to xzy’s efforts. But, the truth is that Sadguru Baba graced that person with that realization.
It is unfortunate that misleading descriptions have been inserted into our spiritual shastra. Those insertions should be corrected.

We should not delay
We know those good devotees who are with us today may not be with us in 10, 20, 40, or 100 years into the future. So with full heart and energy, we should move ahead at the earliest and ensure that those descriptions of Baba's demonstrations are recorded properly. For such a great and important work that is so intimately related with Baba's grace, there brooks no delay.
Baba says, "I have learnt that whenever you wish to perform a noble deed, do it immediately. Do today whatever you propose to do tomorrow. "Shubhasya shiighram ashubhasya ka'laharan'am"'. (3)
