Baba
Dada’s trick
Note: This letter is only for those who have reverence for Sadguru Baba Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji and try to follow His Ananda Marga ideology.
Namaskar,
When Baba did His grand, DMC tour in 1984 across the North Indian states, He conducted more than one dozen DMC’s in non-Bengali speaking areas. Baba gave important guidelines to all the samaj secretaries from various samajas which He visited. It was a special tour and wherever He went Baba conducted field walks at so many temples, shrines, forts, and historic buildings. This was part of His pre-planned tour: During field walks He would visit so many historical and archaeological sites. Local margiis always accompanied Baba on these walks and were blessed with the opportunity to be in His presence and hear Baba talk about these places.

One other important point is that Acarya Raghunath ji was assigned the specific duty of taking notes of all Baba’s talks during that 1984 tour.
During that historic tour Baba spoke extensively about the local areas. And verily, wherever Baba lived and visited always He recounted the relevant histories, stories, tales, and facts about the region. On those occasions, Baba told those accounts to the local margiis and attending acaryas – whoever was present. For example, when living in Jamalpur, when touring Berlin Sector, when touring the Philippines, Baba spoke to local margiis about the history and cultural heritage of their locale. This was Baba’s standard manner.
So naturally also on His grand 1984 tour of non-Bengali speaking areas, Baba gave countless talks about the history and archeology of the local areas and regions. And indeed on that tour Baba visited many archaeological buildings that were hundreds and even thousands of years old. In addition, Baba spent time at places that had a rich history of deep archaeological importance such as temples, tombs, mosques, forts, monuments, historical buildings, etc. And Baba presented the never-before-known history during His tour. And that history was noted down.
The tragedy
But the tragedy is that all those charming tales and hidden facts which Baba told about those non-Bengali areas were thrown away by Dada S. The outcome: Baba’s guideline on those non-Bengali areas was never printed in Baba’s name.
In contrast though, in the Prout books so many talks given on field walks related with Bengalistan have been added after 1990. So why did Bangalistan get the upper hand while all the talks from Baba’s tour of non-Bengali speaking areas get completely neglected. Why didn’t the non-Bengali area historical research and Baba’s other direct guidelines, why didn’t those get placed in book form in the name of Baba.
Because after all, on this long 1984 tour of 4 months penance, thousands and thousands of pages worth of Baba’s valuable teaching were given. Yet somehow it was deliberately left off the shelf of Baba’s library.

Here then is the missing link: the answer why all those talks of Baba never got printed in His name. For that historic 1984 tour, Baba gave the duty to Ac Raghunath ji to collect and manage the note-taking and publication of those talks. So Ac Raghunath organised all the talks given by Baba during the tour. This he did from 1984 up to 1993 and in his own way Ac Raghunath was trying to get the Publications Department to print these things.
But Dada Sarvatmananda pushed back and added one of his patented devious twists to the situation. Sarvatmananda demanded that the book be published, BUT in the name of Ac Raghunath ji– not Baba.
Nasty deed of Sarvatmananda - to prove Bengali superiority
So that was the nasty point. Reason being Dada Sarvatmananda wanted to undermine those things. Means he did not want to highlight anything other than Bengali areas so all Baba’s talks about non-Bengali speaking areas, he wanted to push them down into the mud. And what better way to effectively do this than to take away Baba’s name from those historical talks and instead assign them to someone else – like Raghunath ji.
Because whatever words come from Sadguru Baba are treated as divine. Nobody can compare with Baba. So by manipulating the situation and instead crediting Ac Raghunathji and not Baba for giving all those talks, that was one way of undermining Baba’s words about those non-Bengali speaking samaj areas. And that is exactly what Sarvatmananda wanted to do. To crush the existence and push down the validity of non-Bengali speaking areas. And in fact he did like that.
The book of history did in fact get printed in Acarya Raghunath ji’s name and still today it remains like that. About this book, more I will tell below.
But truly speaking those are all Baba’s direct talks. And anyone who is at all familiar with Baba’s style of talking will easily understand that all those words belong to our Revered Baba, and not to Raghunath. So it is a terrible wrongdoing that the book was done in a different way. It got titled as ‘P.R. Sarkar on History’ and the author’s name is there in bold print: Acarya Raghunath. That is the tragedy.

In this way, who can understand that this is actually Baba’s book? Nobody. Because the title of the book itself makes it look like Ac Raghunath is writing about Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar’s ideas on history. When in actuality those are all Baba’s talks and explanations. Altogether Sarvatmananda has created a big mess in Baba’s scripture in order to prove Bengali superiority.
Conclusion
Now it is the duty of one and all to put forth the demand that all Baba’s historical talks should be published in His own name and be included as part of Ananda Marga scripture.
Namaskar,
In Him,
Prtibha' Sen

Example of ruining Ananda Marga history
The talks Baba gave during His 1984 tour across India never got printed in Baba’s own books. Instead Baba’s talks on history got published under Ac. Raghunath ji’s name in his book titled ‘Shri P.R. Sarkar on History’ by Ac. Raghunath ji. This above email tells this wrongdoing, but here following B group spokesman exposes his own position. Since long he was aware about the distortion done to Baba’s talks but never did he do anything to correct the matter.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com
B group spokesman Dada Kalyaneshvarananda once wrote: “‘In His 1984 tour, he (Baba) spoke about different places and Raghunath noted it down and was later published [in Ac Raghunath jii's own history book] as “Shri P.R. Sarkar on History.”

You have forgotten me
PS Intro: In the following song the bhakta is making a loving accusation to Parama Purusa. By Baba's grace such high feelings come when there is extreme intimacy and pure, one-pointed love-- bhakti for Ista. Then in that case the bhakta feels internally that he has the right to demand and place his accusation at Lord's feet. So the following song is the expression of deep love for Baba.
"Ekahno ki prabhu toma'y du're tha'ka' bha'lo dekha'y..." (Prabhat Samgiita #2332)
Purport:
Baba with deep longing in my heart I go on calling You. How can You feel good when You do not pay heed to my call. Do You think that this is appropriate. In beckoning You again and again my voice got hoarse until finally I completely lost my voice. But Your heart never melted.
O’ Parama Purusa Baba, on which dusty earth have You sent me-- thus pushing me far from You. Why have You forgotten me. Is this the definition of Your love. Should I believe that what You are doing is proper.
O’ Parama Purusa, Your liila is unfathomable; it is beyond my understanding. Why do You do like this. I do not have the proper language to express myself, but all these feelings which I am sharing with You come from deep within my heart.
O’ Parama Purusa, sometimes You make me cry & float in my tears; and sometimes You make me laugh when my heart is filled with Your longing. Baba, I do not know what to do. How long do I have to wait for Your heart to melt. Please come...

Workings of avidya maya
Ananda Marga ideology guides us, "Under the influence of avidyá, people become so infatuated that they forget the difference between pure and impure; and so greedy that they eat rotten meat, choose to forget that alcohol is bad for health, and even try to prove the unholy as being holy by force of logic. Some people claim that eating meat and drinking alcohol are a part of dharma sádhaná; and some state they eat meat to maintain their health and strength."
"Lost in blind pursuit for finite objects, people fail to realize that the pleasure they derive will actually bring more sorrow in the future. An alcoholic does not understand that heavy drinking severely damages the liver: an opium addict does not understand that the temporary pleasure derived from the drug gradually benumbs the nervous system. This mistaking pain to be pleasure is caused by the influence of avidyá. Those who succumb to this influence can be likened to a dog chewing on a dry bone in a burial ground. The dog thinks that the blood oozing out of its jaws comes from the dry bones and greedily bites even harder, further damaging its jaws. The poor animal wrongly thinks sorrow is happiness." (1)
Note: You might have come across how even some proper humans get degenerated and indulge in all kinds of vices. The root cause is their free will and avidya maya. The way avidya maya binds humans it does not do to animals. Humans have freedom / free will and they are therefore more prone to be bound by avidya maya. So avidya maya allures them and pushes them into the deep, dark chasm. And they degenerate. That is the sorry state of affairs. That is why sometimes you see that even those who were once great monks end up leading a degenerated life. If the noose of avidya maya is very strong then they do not realise their downfall either. They cannot understand that they are so degenerated, just like most of our purodha ji maharajas.

Inner world of kleptomaniacs
Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Another type of crime occurs occasionally. This is a temporary criminal urge, a special type of mental disease which suddenly appears in a certain type of environment and again subsides after a short time. Kleptomania is an example of this kind of mental disease. After committing a crime kleptomaniacs feel ashamed and are anxious to return the property that they have stolen to the owner. They have sudden fantasies about stealing, abducting people, becoming drunk or indulging in decadent activities. But analysis shows that they do not in fact have the slightest personal interest in such things.”
“Usually weak-minded people who have witnessed larceny, murder or any other crime, are deeply affected by their experience, and due to the ensuing extreme agitation that occurs in their minds, they deviate from the path of common sense. If the feeling of mental agitation recurs due to the influence of temporal, spatial or personal factors, they will immediately commit a crime.” (1)
Pseudo-criminal
Ananda Marga philosophy states, “If a person who is not actually a thief constantly thinks about stealing and about the various techniques that can be used to steal, it may happen that he or she will begin to talk in a way that will give people the impression that he or she is really a thief. After witnessing a brutal murder, sometimes such weak-minded people begin to think of themselves as criminals.” (2)
