Baba
Dada T’s inner motivation
exposed
Namaskar,
By now, most are aware how Dada T put a photo of himself with Sadguru Baba in his book. Here is a behind-the-scenes look at this episode. Please continue reading this entire email and see all the photos.

Dada T set it up: self-aggrandisement
Now let's visit that specific scene. Baba is majestically sitting in the airport, and out of the corner of his eye Dada T notices that the seat next to Baba is empty.
Previously Dada T had made arrangements with a camera-man to snap of photo of him (Dada T) next to Baba, if the circumstances allow. Suddenly, Dada T sees his opportunity and he winks at his camera-man. Then in a coy and sly manner, Dada T creeps across the waiting room and occupies the seat next to Baba. Then Dada T looks directly at the camera as the photo is taken.
The whole thing was a completely unnatural and contrived affair. Dada T arranged it from beginning to end to show his greatness. This is nothing but his hypocrisy. In the guise of a Baba story book, he is showing the world a picture of himself with Baba.
Here is the Dada T who tried to glorify himself in this way: (See photo #1 directly below)
~ Photo #1 ~
Like a tourist photo on holiday: focal point is me, me, me
Really speaking, the photo was just like one tourist photo or one mundane traveler who wishes to highlight himself next to famous monuments etc.
For example, a group of people might place themselves in the foreground of the famous Christ the Redeemer statue and have their photo taken. And when they return from their excursion, they will proudly show everyone how, "This is us with Christ." (See photo #2 below.)
~ Photo #2 ~
And now Dada T has done this very same maneuver. He took a tourist-style photograph with Baba in order to show others (see photo #1). Such behaviour is completely unbecoming of an avadhuta or of any bhakta.
PA dadas never did like this
Here we have to remember that PA Dadas like Ramananda ji and Keshavananda ji had ample scope to have photos taken of themselves with Baba. As the PA, they were next to Baba almost all the time. They could have taken thousands of such touristy photographs. But they never took one. And although they have both written books, they never placed such a photo in their own book. So their standard is comparatively far above that of Dada T.
Really speaking, no true bhakta will ever do what Dada T has done. It is unthinkable. So no new or naive person should not conclude that Dada T is a great sadhaka because he is sitting next to Baba. It would be a gross error to think in that direction.
Dada T’s history
To best understand Dada T's calibre, we should take a quick look at his history in Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha:
1. Dada T became a WT and writes how he quickly lost faith in Guru.
2. Due to his own bad deeds, he lost his faith in Baba.
3. But Dada T in his writing blames Baba and states that: Baba changed my mind and made me lose my faith in Him.
4. Dada T became defector for a short while, along with those infamous defectors Madhavananda & Vishokananda etc who went against Baba and betrayed Him.
5. Even then Baba graciously brought Dada T back.
6. Dada T published a book blaming Baba and included this touristy photo of him sitting next to Baba as if he (Dada T) is someone really great.
By all of the above it is quite evident that Dada T is not a true bhakta. Rather Dada T is sadly dry inside and resorting to superficial ways of showing his greatness. Indeed, Dada T's fakeness is so transparent - anyone can easily see right through him and take note of his inner intentions.
Is Dada T a true disciple? Decide for yourself
True disciples will feel bliss sitting at their Guru’s feet. But look here (photo #1) what Dada T is trying to show which you will never see in the tantric tradition. Dada T is posing here as if he is equal to Guru (see photo #1). Unfortunately, it is quite an embarrassment for him. What exactly does Dada T want to show - that in tantra the Guru-disciple relation is like this?
And if you see carefully photo #1 above, it is clear that Dada T has no interest in looking at his Guru. Instead Dada T is transfixed on the cameraman and the advertisements on the wall. Unfortunately, Dada T’s goal is to project himself as a great bhakta but tragically he has done the exact opposite.
(a) A true bhakta will sit at Guru’s feet.See how Dada T wrote a book to project himself as being comparable to the great mythological bhakta Narada, but he ended up projecting himself in the opposite manner as someone who is doing and dying for his own name and fame.
(b) A true bhakta will like to have the darshan of his Guru.
(c) A true bhakta will not sit beside for photo sake.
(d) A true bhakta will like to have darshan and focus on Baba.
Altogether this is a sad story for a dedicated WT. Baba says that prestige and ego are like the dung of swine and now Dada T is running after that very thing. Running after name and fame is a mental weakness. But the most appalling aspect is to project oneself in such a way that by seeing your photo people laugh at how you are really dying for prestige. Most bizarre of all is that Dada T wrote a Baba story to display all these things about himself. Yet layer after layer, this story is full of misfortune. Dada T wants to prove himself as a great bhakta but he ended up projecting himself in a very different way. That is why this is a sad episode.
Now see how this tourist is glorifying himself like Dada T did. A person may visit New York City and have his photo taken in front of the Statue of Liberty so he can show everyone, "Look, this is me at the Statue of Liberty." (See photo #3 below.)

"I will never glorify myself"
Here following is a teaching from Sadguru Baba.
“A’loker path cha’r’ibo na’...A’mi nijere praca’r koribo na’…” (Prabhat Samgiita #0337)
Purport of Prabhat Samgiita, the sadhaka says:
Baba, by Your grace I will not leave the path of Ananda Marga ideology, the path of effulgence. I will not leave the path which You showed me. By Your grace, I will mold myself according to Your desire. With Your guidance, I will make my mind straight, focusing on You & propagating Your glory. I will never glorify my own existence. I will refrain from propagating my own personality. I will not praise myself in front of anyone, nor highlight myself. O’ my Lord, You have taught me to propagate Your glory. I will propagate the glory of Parama Purusa – not anyone else. So I will wholly avoid propagating my own self…in Him,
Sanjay Majumdar

The Dada T who tried to glorify himself in this way is Ac Tapeshvarananda Avt.
Kindly forward this letter to Dada
Tapeshvarananda ji so he is can learn and rectify himself. That
would be the best outcome.

I want You in each and every moment of my life
Note: Only those bhaktas who feel a devotional vibration in their heart can understand this song in the depths of their core.
"Tomáke ceyechi ámi,jiivaner prati pale..." (Prabhat Samgiita #2106)
Purport:
O' Parama Purusa, I want You in each and every moment of my life - all the time, every moment. Please come in my honey-filled seed vessel of my hundred petal mental lotus, ie. guru cakra. come in my sadhana.
O' Parama Purusa, whatever You have given me, those are the best and most beautiful things I have. Whatever good things I have - I am offering everything unto You. Baba, only I want You to please grace me by coming with Your most attractive mohan form. You are most charming Entity. You are the nucleus of all charm and beauty in this universe. Please give me Your proximity with Your most attractive and heavenly existence.
Baba, Your everything is so very beautiful. You are that most resplendent divine Entity - perfectly effulgent. You are that shining moon who does not have any black spots. You are resplendent and blemishless - perfectly pristine & pure. Baba, O' Supreme Controller, please pour, inundate, and shower Your ahaetukii krpá (1), causeless grace on me; please remove my fear and shyness, and all kinds of complexes, from my mind. Please take away all those impurities that have accumulated in my mental plate. Please grace me with the eternal gift of devotion.
O' Parama Purusa, I do not have any worldly desire; I don't want anything mundane from You - just I want Your closeness. That is why I go on searching You while doing all kinds of works - sadhana, service, & sacrifice - O' Lord of Lords. In each and every moment of my life, in all my deeds and in all my thoughts, Baba, I want Your Presence - I want Your grace...
Note for Prabhat Samgiita #2106:
[1] Ahaetukii krpa': Ananda Marga ideology guides us, “In this universe of ours everything is causal. Everything is haetuka; everything is causal. Only three entities are of non-causal character. One is the transmutation of the Non-Attributional Entity into the attributional faculty [Saguna Brahma]. The second one is the creation of this universe, and the third one—the krpá of Parama Purusa. Parama Purusa is not to explain for His conduct when He does any krpá or when He attracts anybody towards Him. So these three entities, three items, are of non-causal character. So ahaetukii krpá is the non- causal blessing or, say, non-causal gratitude.” (1)

How Prout revolution will occur
Prout philosophy states, “If, in the history of human struggle, the role of the vipras [intellectual exploiters] is one of parasitic dependence on others, I cannot find words to describe the role of the vaeshyas [wealthy exploiters]. Both the vipras [religious exploiters] and the vaeshyas exploit society, but the vipra exploiters are not as terrible as the vaeshya exploiters. The vaeshyas are like a deadly parasite on the tree of society which tries to kill the tree by sucking dry all its vital sap. But if the tree dies, the parasite will also die. The vaeshya parasites understand this and therefore try to ensure the survival of society by making some donations; they build temples, mosques, churches and pilgrims’ inns, give little bonuses, feed the poor; etc. Calamity only comes when they lose their common sense out of excessive greed and try to suck society completely dry. Once the social body falls unconscious, the vaeshyas will die along with the rest of the body. Otherwise, before allowing themselves to die, the exploited shúdras [toiling mass], kśatriyas [warriors] and vipras [intellectuals] can unite to destroy the vaeshyas [wealthy exploiters]. This is the rule.” (1)

Which bhaktas were punished more, and why
Ananda Marga ideology states, “You are all my beloved sons and daughters. Sometimes I appear harsh to some. But that is for love. If I were indifferent, there would be no need for scolding or punishment. I want to see you all laughing. It gives me great pleasure to see you laughing. Leave all cares unto me. O be blessed.” (1)
Note: Baba’s rule is that when You love someone then You have the right to scold them - otherwise not. According to the degree of attraction and faith in Guru - it is the duty of Guru to give more love. For instance, if a disciple has 100% love for Guru, then Guru must give 100% love in return. Whereas for those without that type of intimate and close relation with Guru or non-margiis, the same Sadguru has less direct responsibility.
It is just like how parents have more responsibility for their own child than for their neighbors’ kids. For this reason, parents scold their own child - all done for the child’s all round development. But again that same approach they do not take with their neighbors’ children.
Similar is the case with Sadguru Baba. He did not scold pseudo-devotees and non-margiis. And for those with 1 percent of devotion, He scolded them less than 1%. For those with 100% devotion and love for Parama Purusa, then it was Baba’s duty to shower His grace and make that sadhaka better. That is why He had more right to scold them more because He loved them more.
Surely, Parama Purusa loves all equally, but great bhaktas compelled Parama Purusa to pay them more attention. All along the theorem is: Love and punishment go hand-in-hand. That works in unit family life, as well as with devotees and Parama Purusa. After all - to whom You do not love - why should You scold. That is why great bhaktas love Parama Purusa 100% and they the get most scolding.
There are many more reasons behind Baba’s scolding, and those are to be discussed in the future.
In Him,
Sudha Sagar
