Origins of Fake Ananda Vanii
Namaskar,
In the post-1990 period, Dada Sarvatmananda was the first to bring Fake Ananda Vaniis onto the stage. Ac Sarvatmananda was controlling PP Dada Shraddhananda those days, so naturally he wanted PP Dada to have more and more power. Because that would give him (Sarvatmananda) more scope to rule.
With such an aim for power, Dada Sarvatmananda forced the Fake Ananda Vanii agenda onto PP Dada's lap. By that way, Sarvatmananda could spread any message he wanted; plus it would guarantee him more control over AMPS. In this way the Fake Ananda Vanii dogma started.

Sarvatmananda's dream: make PP like the Guru
The whole premise was that Dada Sarvatmananda wanted to make PP Dada into the unquestioned authority - as this would give maximum yield to him (i.e. to Dada Sarvatmananda). So Dada Sarvatmananda directed PP to assume all the roles of Guru, including creating Ananda Vaniis, just like Baba. But what PP created is fake because he is not Baba. This unfortunate strategy infiltrated numerous pathways.
All are aware that Sadguru Baba has composed His divine Prabhat Samgiita, so Sarvatmananda propagated PP's own collection of songs known as Shraddha Shuman. Indeed Dada Sarvatmananda was encouraging and forcing margiis to sing PP's silly things. Because in each and every sphere, Dada Sarvatmananda wanted PP to be like the Guru as this would give him huge control.
In the beginning of the Fake Ananda Vanii era, Dada Sarvatmananda simply told PP to make up his own Ananda Vanii and utterly disregard Baba's teachings. Just like in the manner in which Shraddha Shuman was done. But finally, Dada Sarvatmananda settled on creating Fake Ananda Vaniis. And those would be issued under PP's stamp of approval.
Fake Vaniis meant to pacify
From 1990 these Fake Ananda Vaniis just aimed at pacifying and appeasing Margiis so that they will remain passive and obedient to the powers that be. In that way, the Fake Ananda Vaniis got started and went on year after year.
https://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com/
For instance, while Baba's dharmic and original Ananda Vaniis are filled with spiritedness, courage, and the idea of actively fighting exploitation, in contrast the Fake Ananda Vaniis invented our respected Dadas aimed to make margiis passive - even indolent. Such leaders critically withdrew all the pra'na (i.e. life-force and fighting power) when making their Fake Ananda Vaniis.
But don't just take my word for it - see for yourself.
Here are but a few examples of Baba's dharmic expression in His original Ananda Vaniis:
(a) "...Inspire those who are liars and criminals to live honest lives by pointing out their defects..." - Ananda Vanii #8
(b) "...Yours should be a pauseless struggle against corruption, hypocrisy and animality." - Ananda Vanii #11
(c) "...Live for your ideology Die for your Ideology." - Ananda Vanii #14
Now compare that with the Fake Ananda Vaniis that our purodhas have made:
(a) "everything is to undergo changes and you should be ready to adapt yourself, to adjust yourself with those changed phases." (Fake Ananda Vanii January 2005)
(b) And like that over the years so many of the Fake Ananda Vaniis satisfy their own group interest of pacifying margiis and / or blindly supporting their group.
More groups then more Fake Ananda Vaniis
With the rise of the factional divisions etc came a new twist in the Fake Ananda Vanii drama. Namely, each group began creating their own Fake Ananda Vanii. Because as we know it was not too long before PP was brought under Rudrananda's control and Rudrananda too understood the method. So he ordered PP to continue to issue Fake Ananda Vaniis. Or rather, Rudrananda did so in PP Dada's name.
All the while, side by side, still Dada Sarvatmananda was making his own Fake Ananda Vaniis in order to "enhance his group's stature" and challenge as being the real ruling party. In this phase of division, the message of the Fake Ananda Vaniis has been aimed at rallying against the other group. Such Fake Ananda Vaniis since 2000 have been used to pronounce one's own group as being dharmic and the vying faction as adharmic. This has been the new role of those Fake Ananda Vaniis.
Here the main theme going on is that the dogma of the Fake Ananda Vanii is the brainchild of groupism. It is a fight for power and control between the groups. And as more factions come onto the scene, there will be more Fake Ananda Vaniis. Fake Ananda Vaniis are a sign of the times: groupism and division. They have no dharmic quality.
The whole use of these Fake Ananda Vaniis is to confuse and dupe naive margiis to come into their fold. The various camps create Fake Ananda Vaniis for this sole purpose: To establish their own legitimacy and power. The proof is that if you go back and see, it is quite evident how the Fake Ananda Vaniis are working in this manner: From 1990 - 2000, group leaders used Fake Ananda Vaniis to keep people obedient; and, since 2000 factional heads have used Fake Ananda Vaniis for bringing more supporters onto their side.

Conclusion
In their heart of hearts, these leaders know that their Fake Ananda Vaniis are just something concocted - i.e. Fake. But in their intense pride, they are unwilling to admit this. That is why, to this day, Dada Sarvatmananda will never come forward to wholeheartedly offer an apology and beg for forgiveness for inventing the dogma of Fake Ananda Vaniis.
Now, however, many margiis and field workers have rejected narrow-minded agendas and insisted that Baba's grand ideals be followed. This is the way things are now progressing, by His grace. That is why crude dogmas like so-called mahaprayan, Fake BP Manual, expulsion as a weapon, and Fake Ananda Vaniis are being torn down.
Because all recognise that only by following Baba can our AMPS society survive and thrive. Remaining in the grasp of various dogmas like Fake Ananda Vaniis only delays the resurgence of our AMPS society. That is why from east to west, many Ananda Margiis are rallying around Baba's original and true Ananda Vaniis. All want to follow Baba, not any other way that includes Fake Ananda Vaniis.

Here, I share with you one of His true and original Ananda Vaniis.
Ananda Vanii says, "The opportunists tried in the past, are trying at present and will try even in the future to fulfil their narrow desires by keeping the human race disunited. By severely reproaching this opportunistic craftiness through your noble deeds, you draw nigh the unknown strangers living far away and build a healthy world-based human family. Ignoring the brute forces, the sky-kissing arrogance, hypocrisy, immorality and glib outbursts of the conceited people, go ahead towards your cherished goal. The blessing of Parama Purus'a shall be with you alone." (A'nanda Va'nii #40)
In Him,
Kalyan Deva

A few facts about Fake Ananda Vaniis
(A) Fake Ananda Vaniis are snippets that are cut and pasted from some other source - not from Baba’s original Ananda Vanii book. Those group leaders grab various lines and wrongly title that as “Ananda Vanii.” But that is not an Ananda Vanii. That is just their concoction. That is why we say those are Fake Ananda Vaniis.
(B) Baba’s true and original Ananda Vaniis are complete discourses unto themselves and have been given a specific Ananda Vanii number in His book Ananda Vanii Samgraha.
(C) Various group leaders fabricate their own Ananda Vaniis to pacify margiis and suit their group agenda. They want to turn their followers into passive elements who will sit quiet and blindly follow their command. This is the complete antithesis and against the dharmic spirit of Baba’s original Ananda Vaniis.

(D) True Ananda Vaniis are bullets of truth that stand as revolutionary calls to root out exploitation, fight against injustice, and expose hypocrisy.

Guru never gives tests
Ananda Marga scripture says, "The more microcosms advance along the path of Pratisaincara, the more developed they become, and the more freedom they are granted to act independently. Of course they can only enjoy as much freedom as the Supreme Authority chooses to give them. The amount of suffering caused by reactive momenta depends upon how microcosms use or misuse this freedom. It serves no purpose whatsoever to blame the Supreme Entity for this suffering. After all, you have been given the freedom, the full liberty, to perform the original deeds as you think fit. Since every action contains a seed of reaction you will have to undergo the reactions of your actions. These seeds or reactive momenta are expressed through your non-original deeds (sam'skára múlaka) over which you have no control."
"A person is reborn in a physical structure and physical environment which are congenial for the expression of the unrequited sam'skáras. The Cosmic Mind directs the disembodied soul to that particular environment where it will get the maximum opportunity for the expression of its latent sam'skáras. That's why some people live miserable lives in squalid conditions and suffer from poor health while others lead joyful, healthy, and worry-free lives in a comfortable environment. Yet no matter what circumstances one finds oneself in, one must realize and accept that no situation is without hope. For one’s psychic expansion, one will have to keep one’s mind fixed on the Supreme Entity, one will have to advance towards that Absolute Entity while removing all obstacles from the path." (1)
The basic aspect of Ananda Marga philosophy is that if anyone commits any sin then they will have to face the reaction and suffer. Suppose you kick an innocent, hungry beggar on the roadside and he fell down, and in desperation drags himself away. You may think that nobody saw what you did, but you will have to suffer the consequences. And in punishment, prakrti makes you fall down in the ditch whereby you broke your leg. That was due to the reactive momenta of the sin which you got from kicking the innocent beggar. So you kicked the beggar, and in return you are suffering.
But if Dada N saw you in dharmacakra with your broken leg, Dada N will say that Guru broke your femur because Guru is giving you a test. However, the fact is you are suffering due to your sin of kicking the innocent beggar.

Islam degenerates women
Prout philosophy states, “The second inviolable principle is that people should not be forcibly converted from one religion to another. People will not leave a religion if it is able to guide them properly on the path of Dharma….”
“Hinduism will degenerate and people will convert to other religions as long as the caste system exists in the Hindu religion. If Hinduism continues to degenerate, the progress of Indian society will be retarded because Hindus are the majority community in India. Moreover, if there are continued conversions to Islam, women will become second grade citizens, because they are not given equal status with men in Islam. Consequently, there will be further degeneration. Thus, nobody should be forcibly converted from one religion to another.”
“All religions should be established on a strong foundation of logic and reason, then such things will not occur. If people are forced to violate the teachings of their religion, they should not be excommunicated. Even if people knowingly contravene a religious code without compulsion, they should have ample scope to rectify their behaviour. A religion should not be like a glass container which breaks with a light tap.” (1)

Which animals can do sadhana
Ananda Marga ideology says, "In certain animals like dogs and monkeys, the 'doer' I is a bit more expressed or developed than in other creatures. That is why in the future they may be in a position to do this spiritual practice." (1)

How to make link with Cosmic Entity
Commonly people think of themselves as weak and isolated. That is because in that moment they do not have a connection with Parama Purusa in their mind. So they cannot draw divine energy from Parama Purusa. The moment one starts thinking about Him and makes a connection with Parama Purusa then they become very strong. This can be felt and tested when facing tough situations or when confronting someone strong than yourself - such as when surrounded by a bunch of thugs. Then certainly those negative, anti-social elements will be defeated and victory will be attained. The connection is very simple - just repeated your ista mantra and you will be linked with Parama Purusa.
Ananda Marga philosophy says, "However little one's capacity might be, if one constantly remembers that Parama Purus'a is always with him, that they are in the closest contact with Parama Purus'a, they will be able to do everything. They are not as small as they think themselves to be. And as long as they remember this closest association with Him, they can do much more than ordinary human beings. When this idea becomes permanently established in their minds, they become great. This is why no one should be disappointed or depressed in any circumstances; let everyone constantly perform great deeds, remembering that the flow of their capacity is coming from Parama Purus'a, and thus they can do everything."

Re: History: true Ananda Vaniis
Namaskar
I think the problem lies in naming other quotes from The Lord as Ananda Vaniis. That belongs only to the 74....that many like me who have memorized in heart and mind.
To include other quotes or quote along side an Ananda Vanii...to buttress or support that particular Vanii should not be problem as long as the Vanii stands alone and the other quote from say Subasiita Samgraha and other discourses...are identified as such....
