Look: lowly avadhuta

Baba

Look: lowly avadhuta

Namaskar, 

Sadly, when our avadhuta went to meet Prime Minister Modi he forgot that he was representing Sadguru Baba and Ananda Marga. Verily, instead of upholding our AM values and doing namaskar to Modi, our avadhuta shook hands. And this goes against our Caryacarya and our AM values.

Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, "Do not shake hands with anyone." (1)

In the below photo, see how our avadhuta shook hands with Modi. Instead of acting like an avadhuta and following AM ideals, he acted more like a fanboy of Modi and shook hands like materialistic-minded people do. 

Note: Here it should be understood that Prime Minister Modi appreciates Indian traditions and always does namaskar to those whom he respects on points of dharma. He never shakes their hand. And, in general, Modi prefers doing namaskar. But, in this instance, the avadhuta extended his hand so full blame is on him, not Modi.
