Orgy in “Path of Bliss” group

Namaskar,

Our avadhutas are to lead society into the bright new era by their conduct. So if their conduct is not proper that brings their entire existence into question. Sadly, here we raise the alleged characterless behaviour of a repeat offender. And while this Wt has allegedly fallen into sin on numerous occasions, here we examine one especially egregious incident that should put everyone on alert.

Wt K took oath for the progress of married couple

The Wt in question solemnized the marriage ceremony of two young, idealistic margiis: Arati and Ranjan González. Wt K took a vow to watch for the physical, mental, and spiritual well-being of the married couple. This oath was taken in the name of Sadguru Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji.

Ananda Marga Carycarya states, “We say on oath in the name of Parama Brahma and Márga Gurudeva that we are witnesses to this wedding. By the grace of all-merciful Brahma, may we be helpful to the best of our capacity for the all-round progress of this newly-married couple.” (Ananda Marga Caryacarya Part 1, Marriage Ceremony)

Wt K was actively involved in this marriage and recited the above oath in the name of Sadguru Baba. Yet very soon into Ranjan and Arati González’s marriage, Wt K allegedly seduced Arati and had a romantic affair with her. Ranjan came home one day and found Wt K in bed with his wife. That incident utterly destroyed Ranjan and Arati’s marriage and ruined their promising careers as Ananda Margiis.

Although the Ranjan González grew up in a financially impoverished area, he carefully saved and made a trip to India to immerse himself in our Ananda Marga way of life. So he was keen to progress on the path of Ananda Marga. Yet when he came home on that fateful day and found Wt K sleeping with Arati, Ranjan became a shattered and broken man. He became completely disillusioned and basically left the path, as did his wife, Arati. Their marriage could not be salvaged, and their career as sadhakas was severely affected.

So Wt K ruined their marriage and their spiritual lives, yet still to this day Wt K is allegedly regularly sleeping with members of the opposite sex. Wt K has shown no remorse for his wrongdoing and has never asked for punishment.

Look how Didi wrongly blamed Arati

Here is one other horrible twist to this tragedy. When this incident became known to local margiis and acaryas, then one avadhutika had the audacity to defend Wt and put 100% of the blame on the young impressionable Arati. This Didi called Arati the real culprit. But this is just preposterous because Wt K is an avadhuta and has taken a staunch vow to not indulge. Wt K is the leader and senior person so all responsibility and accountability falls squarely on his shoulders. Wt K is not some college kid etc, rather he is a longtime avadhuta. So Didi’s public defense of Wt’s illicit dealing only spoiled the situation even more.

Conclusion

As Ananda Margiis, it is high time we took proper hold of the organisation and stood up to the sinful, salacious, and debased dealings of some Wts like Wt K. For more details about this incident and related events please scroll down through this email.

In Him,

Dharmaviira

~ In-depth study ~

Sadguru says in His discourse entitled Conduct of Acarya: "Those who have the responsibility to show the path to others should be of superlative character with the most refined conduct. They and their followers must move constantly towards all-round development and shreya [ultimate spiritual attainment]. Persons who teach such well-regulated behaviour to others by their own conduct are called ácáryas." (1)

Sadguru says in His discourse entitled Conduct of Acarya: "Bear in mind that people may be harmed or misled by even a small weakness or defect in the conduct of an ácárya. Just as it is the duty of a father to educate his children properly by his good conduct, an ácárya or ácáryá should always instruct by his or her exemplary actions and words." (2)

Ananda Marga philosophy warns how improper leadership brings terrible harm to society.

Ananda Marga ideology says, “Today there is catastrophe and misery in human society and there is one reason: the defective leadership of society. People blindly follow even unintelligent leaders. The leaders hypnotize and attract thousands with their tall talks, gestures and other dramatics. Understand that the poverty and misery of any people in any country are the sins of the leaders. True leaders should always be vigilant and think how to work best for human society: they must be ever cautious that under their guidance the people are not led to darkness, death and immorality.” (3)

Wt conduct rules

Here are Sadguru Baba’s guidelines for all wholetimer Dadas and Didis of the Marga.

- WT Conduct Rule: "You will protect yourself from sexual weakness and luxury." (WT Conduct Rules, Fourteen Points, pt #12)

- WT Conduct Rule: "One should not look at the face of the opposite sex except at the time of nursing [administering medical care]." (37 Workers Rules, pt #15)

Note: The above conduct rule contains an exception. Here is the explanation. Suppose there is an accident and the injured party is of the opposite sex; the patient has a wound on their face, and a Wt is on the scene to help. When serving the patient of the opposite sex and tending to their wound, that Wt will have to look at their face in order to offer the requisite care needed. Outside of this circumstance, there is no need for any wholetimer to look at the face of the opposite sex. That is why the rule is that if a Wt is talking with the opposite sex then they will look towards the ground and not the face of the opposite sex.

- WT Conduct Rule: "Avadhuta / Avadhutika shall treat every woman of the world...as mother." (32 Rules for Avadhuta, pt #11)

- WT Conduct Rule: "Avadhuta / Avadhutika must not remain in a lonely place with any female." (32 Rules for Avadhuta, pt #13)

- Wt conduct rule: “Under no circumstances should the purity of the mind and body be polluted.” (32 Rules for Avadhutas, point #30)

- WT conduct rule: “Avadhuta must not engage his ears in hearing obscene language or song, touch any rajasika articles, see any depraving entity or picture, or go through any story, novel or picture having even a slight bit of sexual importance... All avadhutas should learn this mantra by heart: O Bhiks´u, O monk. Control your eyes, hearing, smell, tongue (taste), body, lips (speech) and mind. You should have all-round restraint, then you will overcome all pain (32 Rules for Avadhutas, point #32)

The letter, word, and spirit of Sadguru’s guidelines are that there must be clear and cordial separation between male Wts and female Wts - between members of the opposite sex. This is highly important to have a successful and thriving Wt cadre.

More about the above incident & Wt’s photo

• To protect the privacy of the married couple, in the above account pseudonyms (Ranjan and Arati) were used.

• Wt Krpasundarananda is the Wt K who slept with Arati. But this is not an isolated incident. Krpasundarananda is unwieldy as he is completely goaded by animalistic propensities, which is the exact opposite of yoga and avadhuta life. Wherever K goes he has a string of liaisons in tow. And remember this is the Wt who has been taking young co-eds on long tours through India. He allegedly uses the entire globe as his stomping ground for sensual indulgence and delight. Not taking a stiff stand against him on this matter means allowing him to continue on - utterly desecrating what it means to be an acarya.

• The above described incident took place in Mexico of NY sector, but this Wt travels everywhere. So sisters around the globe should be wary and take proper precautions around Krpasundarananda because he is completely dominated by his animal instinct. He has no control whatsoever. That is why there was such a need to detail the above account. Because to this day wherever Wt K goes he is allegedly indulged in this manner.

• Sadly, Krpasundarananda is not the only Wt involved in such unsavoury dealings in his area. He pals around with certain other overseas Wts who are also grossly debauched. Indeed, both Wt Krpasundarananda and his neighbour Wt Anuvratananda are allegedly indulged in various opposite sex relations. So they are bound together in their depravity. That is why they are pals - and they have other cronies as well. For instance, they have welcomed a new arrival into their fold who has an equally dark history from his days in Manila sector. All these Wts are bonded at the hip. Here Baba characterizes their friendship:

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “Within a gang of thieves, one of them says appreciatively, “Oh! The sleight-of-hand of such-and-such other thief is marvellous – he has made a fool of me!” Here one pickpocket is praising another, because they belong to the same group. But one who does not belong to that gang of pickpockets will never appreciate it.” (4)

• Some may wonder how these orgy type of Dadas meet and sleep with so many women. After all, there are many males in the general society who pay prostitutes. But generally these Wts need not do that. So the question arises, what tactic do they employ to lure females. One strategy is to promise travel. Some of the women really cherish the opportunity to go to distant lands. So when they meet a Wt who has been all over the globe, and that Wt tells them that they can travel the seven seas together, then the women get enticed. They dream of having a secret rendezvous in an exotic bungalow etc. Ultimately though, those dreams crash to the ground when they realise that Wt has girlfriends all over the globe and he will never take her anywhere.

• The name of the Didi who openly defended Wt K and blamed Arati instead is Didi Ananda Mamata. Rather than have empathy and supportive words for the young wife, Didi Ananda Mamata threw her under the bus. Shame on didi for having a black pact with Wt relinquishing him of all wrongdoing, when in fact it was Wt K who was the real sinner. One can only guess what Didi has to hide, otherwise why would she publicly defend such a debauched Wt like Krpasundarananda.

Sobbing of bedridden Nirmohananda about H group

~ Dada Mantracetanananda’s exclusive interview with the extremely sick Dada Nirmohananda ~

The following alarming letter was circulated by Mantracetanananda on his WhatsApp forum. To understand what has been presented below, non-Hindi speaking margiis can either use Google Translate or have a Hindi-knowing margii explain it to you. Then you will understand what Dada Nirmohananda is wailing about. Also know throughout the text where there were some critical Hindi words, I have inserted the equivalent English word or phrase to help non-Hindi reader get a basic idea what Dada Nirmohananda is wailing about. Due to serious shortage of volunteers we have to post it in its current format. More volunteers are needed to help. Again this comes courtesy of Mantracetanananda’s WhatsApp forum.

----

नमस्कार।

Mantracetananda asked Nirmohananda: मेने उनसे पूछा कि आपके पास कोई अटेंडेंड नहीं है,

Nirmohananda replied: तो उन्होंने कहा की मेरी देखभाल मेरे दीक्षा भाई मेरी केअर कर रहे हे।

Mantracetananda asked Nirmohananda: तो मेने पूछा कि आप तो रांची जागृति में थे ,

Nirmohananda replied: तो उन्होंने कहा वहाँ रांची पर मेरी देखभाल अच्छी तरह से नहीं हो पा रही थी In Ranchi HQ I was bedridden and getting neglected so I took shelter in a margii’s house । मुझे वहां पर उन लोगो के व्यवहार को देखकर  मुझे मानसिक तनाव  बहुत extreme mental tension रहता था, इसलिए यहाँ पर आ गया हूँ।  यहाँ  पर मेरी देखरेख बहुत अच्छी तरह से हो रही  है, मुझे यहाँ पर मानसिक तनाव mental tension भी नहीं रहता । लेकिन कभी कभी यह सोचता हूँ यह कैसी संस्था है। जो अपने वर्कर की देखभाल भी नहीं कर सकती।

Nirmohananda said: चार पांच वर्करो ने पूरी संस्था को चौपट ruined the organisation कर दिया है , और Purodha Pramukha दादा भी उन लोगो को कुछ नहीं बोलते है। रांची आनंदमार्ग वालो को यह शक doubt है, कि जो तुम Mantracetanananda कर रहे हो वह सब में  (Nirmohananda) करवा रहा हूँ,  तुम तो जानते हो कि मुझे डायबिटीज diabetes, और हाई ब्लड प्रेसर blood pressure है।  मै जब जून में रांची आया था , मुझे काफी मेन्टल टॉर्चर mental torture हुआ, और मेरे से जूनियर वर्कर  की बुरी हरकतों के कारण  मुझे सहन नहीं हुआ could not tolerate their repulsive abhorrent dealings और मुझे टेंशन mental tension हो गया, उसका नतीजा यह हुआ कि  मुझे हॉस्पिटल admitted in hospital में  एडमिशन लेना पड़ा।  तबसे आज तक मै ठीक नहीं हो पा रहा हूँ I am unable to cure myself of this terminal illness ।

Nirmohananda said: मै तो यही सोचता हूँ, कि जब तक ये चार पाँच लोग रहेंगे, तब तक संस्था में सुधार नहीं होगा।

Mantracetananda said: मेने पूछा की ये जो 4/5 लोग है , उनके नाम बताओ।

Nirmohananda stated: तो दादाजी कहते है, कि यदिं मै इनके नाम बता दूँगा, तो ये लोग मेरा जीना दूभर they will make my life hell  कर देंगे,  अभी देखो न ,  मेरी केसी हालात हो गई है। If I speak the truth my life will end.

Mantracetananda asked Nirmohananda: मेने कहा कि अभी जब दादा रुद्रानंद जी पुरोधा Pramukha नहीं है, और यदि पुरोधा Pramukha  भविष्य में बन गए तो क्या होगा।  तो कहने लगे कि,

Nirmohananda indicates he might leave H group

Nirmohananda said: मै यह तो नहीं जानता, कि संस्था का क्या होगा, लेकिन मै (Nirmohananda) संस्था छोड़ दूँगा। बाबा इन लोगो को कभी माफ़ नहीं करेंगे।

Mantracetananda said: मुझे जो महसूस हुआ, कि दादा  (आचार्य निर्मोहानंद अवधूत) संस्था  में जो भी कुछ हो रहा है, वोह अधिकतर जानते है। लेकिन सोचते है कि यदि संस्था में जो चार पांच लोग कर रहे है, यदि संस्था  में  इन लोगो की बाते मार्गियों या नन मार्गियों को पता चल जाएगा, तो संस्था की बदनामी bad name of organisation होगी। इस डर से चुप है।

Nirmohananda said: उन्होंने मुझे यह भी कहा कि, जो मै STO में लिखता हूँ , वोह सिर्फ 40℅ है, बाकी 60% तो मुझे (Nirmohananda) और भी मालुम है what people are aware up till now is only 40%, I, (Nirmohananda), know more 60% of the hidden garbage । मै (Nirmohananda) तो इस बात से डरता हूँ, कि  कही मुझे (Nirmohananda)  ये लोग Rudrananda can do any gruesome things कुछ भी कर सकते है।

Mantracetananda said: मेने यह कहा कि यह लोग ज्यादा से ज्यादा , मेन्टल टॉर्चर, एक्सपेल, ट्रांसफर्स पोस्टिंग mental torture, expulsion, punishment posting, false case, और झुटे केस, कर सकते है, और ज्यादा करेंगे तो मरवा murder भी सकते है। इस से ज्यादा कुछ भी नहीं कर सकते। लेकिन फिर दादाजी चुप चाप रहे he kept mum।

Nirmohananda said: उन्होंने कहा कि यदि मै(आचार्य निर्मोहानंद अवधूत) लिखूंगा , तो संस्था की आत्मा को चोट AMPS will be blamed पहुंचेगी। लेकिन संस्था के सच का उजागर भी हो जाएगा। यदि ये 4/5 लोग नहीं सुधरे, तो (Nirmohananda) वाद्य हो कर एक पुस्तक लिखूंगा, I will write a book to expose Rudrananda जिसमे सब कुछ उजागर कर दूंगा। संस्था की आज की यह वर्तमान  की हालात।

Example of infighting H & B group: Fresh Court Case

Namaskar,

Margii’s hard earned money has been misused in the following way. B group filed a court case against H group. It is a waste of time and money to donate to such people. Best is to use that money in feeding the hungry or homeless, or use those funds to care for the sick and infirmed. There are innumerable people suffering across the globe.

A rich miser approaches you with a tale of woe

See here what our Guru says in the tapah chapter about donated funds.

Ananda Marga philosophy guides us, "Tapah devoid of knowledge is bound to be misused. The opportunists will misuse your energy by extracting work from you to serve their selfish ends, and at the same time this will deprive the real sufferers of their due services from you. A rich miser approaches you with a tale of woe and entreats you to give him relief. Being moved with pity, if you do what is needed to relieve him of his suffering, the very purpose of tapah will be defeated, as it is without any knowledge or reasoning. The end result of your service will be that the rich man whom you have served will become more miserly and more selfish and will, in the future, try to deceive in a greater way people who dedicate themselves to the service of humanity. Secondly, as you will, to some extent, know his inner motive, you will become mentally depressed and you will also develop a hostile attitude towards him. Therefore, while following the principle of tapah you should ascertain fully well whether the person you are going to serve, really needs your service. Only then should you engage yourself in service...Therefore, you will have to ascertain with discrimination where your responsibility lies and to what extent; otherwise all your time, energy and labour employed in tapah will be in vain...because in such cases you do not make the proper use of objects." (1)

Baba's warning then is that those who donate money must be critically aware and informed about who is getting that money and how that money will get used - otherwise their attempt at vaeshyacita seva (financial service) is not only useless, but negative. No margii can claim ignorance or innocence when they give money for a project - it is the margii's special duty to first investigate the situation before giving funds. Thereafter it is the margii's duty to follow-up afterwards.

In Him,

Bakul Deva

Confused & mock yogii

Baba

Confused & mock yogii

Namaskar,

Please see here below. In the lotus there is a sketch or image of a person sitting in meditation. There is a white figure inside a pink lotus. Just below the fake yoga figure you will notice that there is printed text. That is Baba’s quote in Hindi (Devanagari) script from Ananda Vacanamrtam. And it is signed: Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji. This gives the notion whatever this fellow is doing is sanctioned by the Guru of Ananda Marga.

The main problem is that the person sitting in meditation is locking their thumb and index finger together. This is the signature emblem of fake yoga - and can be seen everywhere in the fake yoga movement. Locking that thumb and index finger together is not part of our dharmic system of meditation.

Here following though is Baba’s teaching for how the pose should be done - pay particular attention to the words highlighted in yellow.

Ananda Marga Caryacarya says, “Siddhásana (siddha posture): Press the múládhára cakra with the left heel. Then press the svádhiśt́hána cakra with the right heel. Place the hands palm up on the respective knees. Duration – as long as you wish.” (1)

Once again, here is a description of the above image. In the lotus there is a sketch or image of a person sitting in meditation. There is a white figure inside a pink lotus. Just below the fake yoga figure you will notice that there is printed text. That is Baba’s quote in Hindi (Devanagari) script from Ananda Vacanamrtam. And it is signed: Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji. This gives the notion whatever this fellow is doing is sanctioned by the Guru of Ananda Marga.

Unfortunately some confused Wts and margiis have forgotten the right things given in Ananda Marga, and instead they are running along with the fake yoga movement and preaching those fake things to margiis. They have adopted the fad and fashion of fake yoga. All in all it is quite pathetic. Sadly, some confused person made this graphic.

A failure to properly guide others

Baba has given a beautiful guideline for how to properly sit in meditation but in place of understanding and emulating Guru’s dharmic teachings, a few confused people are propagating the fad of fake yoga. This is happening on the B group Facebook forum [Ananda Marga Around the Globe].

So we have to watch out and not allow such nasty things to continue. Such persons should learn what Baba has taught and become proper disciples. B group leaders are also to blame as they failed to properly guide their constituents. That’s why this negative thing was posted in the name of Ananda Marga on the B group Facebook forum. Those B group leaders are not teaching their members what is fake and what is proper.

Note: It is quite obvious that if one sits in siddhasana and does sincere sadhana then naturally one’s fingers will relax and become loose - as the mind is fully focused within. So anyone doing this pose is just a product of fake meditation. Verily this whole scene is just the depiction of a fake person doing fake yoga.

Ananda Marga Caryacarya says, “Siddhásana (siddha posture): Press the múládhára cakra with the left heel. Then press the svádhiśt́hána cakra with the right heel. Place the hands palm up on the respective knees. Duration – as long as you wish.” (2)

Here is another image to another pseudo-yogi. Please pay attention to their hands and fingers. Those suffering from inferiority complex give up their own good habits and teachings and latch on to something dogmatic, new, brainless fad. That is what happened here.

Conclusion

These people forgot the golden teachings of Ananda Marga. And look what they are doing. Such types of people give up their good habits like washing their backside with water after defecation and started using blotting paper or tree leaves to wipe their backside. And they gave up their sentient food habit and started eating McDonald’s hamburgers. These are all signs of a defeatist complex or inferiority complex. They will throw away their pure gold and rush towards dirt. It is the duty of every sincere margii to watch all around and see who is doing like this, and try to counsel them and infuse them with the requisite courage to realise that the teachings of Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji are the greatest. They should not fall into fake yoga.

Namaskar,

In Him,

Renu Chakravarty

One confused margii Kalicharan Rana posted this to the B group Facebook forum [Ananda Marga Around the Globe].

Not monks but workers + 4 more

Baba

Not monks but workers

Namaskar,

In the late 1960's when the negative conduct of certain Wts came to light and margiis witnessed this for the first time, they brought the matter to Sadguru Baba.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com/

Then Baba lovingly replied, ‘Why are you thinking that they are holy monks. They are Wts, wholetimer workers, workers, cadres, karmiis. Just like different military and police departments have their particular uniform, in the same way our Wts have their uniform. Because they are dedicated for the society, that is why they have a saffron uniform. Saffron means dedication.’ That was the essence of Guru’s message.

Baba explained, ‘To do social service, workers are needed; so these people are workers. When the society is itself degraded then we will not get thousands and thousands of very elevated souls. Yet we need thousands and thousands of Wts who will be engaged 24hrs in social service. So that is why our WT system was made.’

Colour of their cloth does not have any value

Here the point is not that none of our Wts are divine. Certainly, if someone’s conduct is pristine and dharmika then surely they are divine. And that person may be a WT, LFT, or LPT, or a family margii. In contrast, if a particular Wt's conduct is negative then their standard is lowly. The key takeaway is that one’s stature is based on the quality of their dealings, not the colour of their dress.

Ananda Vanii states, "Your ideal is represented by your conduct. Your learning, your social or economic status have nothing to do with your ideal." (1)


Baba's unique way to end priest exploitation

Baba has taken many steps to eliminate religious exploitation.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com/

(a) Sadguru Baba has given the true and dharmic definition of brahmacarya. In Ananda Marga, brahmacarya has nothing to do with celibacy or adopting monk life.

Anadna Marga philosophy states, “The meaning of practising brahmacarya sádhaná is to treat the object with which one comes in contact as different expressions of Brahma and not as crude forms.” (2)

(b) He has given the proper definition of a sadhu - which varies greatly from the definitions of old.

In the past, the terms “monk” and “sadhu” were virtually interchangeable. Many monks were thought of as sadhus merely because of their dress. And, in general in India, every monk is called a sadhu or sannyasi. Baba's definition of a sadhu is unique and has nothing to do with the colour of one’s cloth or one’s social position - i.e. monk or priest etc. Rather the appellation of sadhu is based exclusively on one’s quality of mind and how they view and treat others.

Pránáh yathátmano’bhiiśt́ah bhútánám api te tathá;
Átmaopamyena bhutánáḿ dayáḿ kurvanti sádhavah.

Ananda Marga ideology states, "The life of each and every entity is very dear to them; all love their lives very much. Those who share this same sentiment of love for other living beings – that is, they feel that “just as my life is very dear, very beloved to me, so other lives are also very dear to me” – such people are called sádhus.” (3)


Wt's are not always monks

(c) Baba has also given the correct definition of a sannyasi. The meaning is the bhakta who has yearning and longing for sat, i.e. that unchangeable Entity, Parama Purusa. So this can be anyone, a family person or a monk. The operative factor is one’s mental status, not the colour of their clothes. Please see Ananda Vacanamrtam part 24 Hindi edition, Purnia DMC 1971.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com/

(d) Baba has also created meditation teachers who are family persons. These are our family acaryas. And this is also a revolutionary step. In the past, family persons never had that opportunity in any religious organization.

(e) Plus the very name (WT) “Wholetime Worker” is after all “worker”, not sadhu, sannyasi, or monk etc.

(f)  Baba has strongly encouraged all disciples to create more and more Wts. In this process - under that pressure - many xyz type of persons got included in our WT cadre. That is to say even xyz persons became Wt. And if we look carefully over the past 50+ year history of creating Wts, then we will find innumerable cases of workers involved in negative acts - i.e. stealing, theft, looting, smuggling, attack, sexual scandal, and even attacking and murdering other avadhutas. All these things have come in the picture. Anyone familiar with the history knows this to be the case. So much has been done by Wts, in various shapes and forms.


Colour of cloth alone has no value

And our WTs have also spread the poison of groupism, falsehood, dogma, and so many negative tales including the distortion of Guru's scripture. All of which came to be known to the public, margiis, non-margiis, everyone. Certainly though not all our WTs are negative - rather most are good and sincere, and only a few are involved in all these types of affairs.
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com/

Still, because of the deep-rooted dogma of the supremacy of the priest class, this complex does not go easily from the mind. No doubt in the brain or in the philosophy, with logic and reasoning, all think that in Ananda Marga everyone is equal, i.e. there is no priest supremacy. Rather they think that priest supremacy is one kind of dogma. But in day to day life, many feel in their heart something else. They bow down and surrender to the colour of the cloth. Nowadays, however, more and more are understanding that cloth alone has no value. Conduct is the main thing.


Baba exposes those hypocrites hiding in saffron

Baba strongly condemns the person whose cloth is dyed and not the mind. Here in this following quote from Subhasita Samgraha Baba says:

Ananda Marga ideology states, "Nothing will result from dyeing one's clothes with saffron colour only for show.  Dye yourself within.  People of some particular religious creeds think that dyeing their clothes or bodies with a particular colour is a part of spiritual Sa'dhana'. But remember that is all useless, unless you are dyed within as well." (4)

"Mana na' ra'inga'ile ra'inga'ile yogi ka'par'a.

Saffron and red do not a yogiis make
With mind undyed he remains a fake."

Ananda Marga ideology states, "Dye your mind with His colour. Those who have not done so cannot attain Him, for this very coloration is Prema or Divine Love...  No external sign of Sa'dhuta' or virtue is  necessary.  Become sa'dhu  within. Behind the external show of virtuousness of many so-called sa'dhus exists a pharisaic state of mind. Preserve the true dignity of the word, Sa'dhu."

"Mu'd'a mu'd'a'ye jata' v'ar'aye....

With shaven head or matted locks
And ashen body a Sadhu walks
With the swaggering gait of a well-fed buffalo.
And crude mind filled with thoughts mean and low."

Ananda Marga ideology states, "That is why I say that you must bring about a revolutionary change in the flow of your judgment and thought, and see how, after overcoming your fascination with external colour, your mind becomes tinged with His glorious colour." (5)
http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com/

Conclusion: standard and future of each

According to Baba's teaching, jinanis are the lowest category of people, next comes karmiis, and then the top section is bhaktas. So karmiis are those who think that by the work they can attain Parama Purusa - whether they have love for Him or not. Such dry-minded persons are surely workers; and their standard is quite low - irrespective of which post they are holding whether they are Purodha Pramukha, purodha, or whatever post they have.

Of course there are some who are bragging that 'We are workers and we are super-most'. From a social or worldly perspective they are what they are, but from a spiritual stance it is quite clear that they are really low.

Ananda Marga ideology states, "The jina'nis have no future-- they simply waste their time. And the karmiis or people of action have no fixed desideratum, no fixed personal goal, no personal God, hence karmiis have no future." (6)

Treating someone as holy because of their dress alone is dogma. Ananda Marga aims to establish respect based on conduct. If a Wt or margii is of good conduct then accordingly they will get respect. That time has yet to come. We have to bring that era as soon as possible because that is what Baba wants. So nobody should mistakenly think that because of their dress WTs are holy or divine and others are lowly.

Namaskar,
In Him,
Trinetra

Nasty strategy of religious leaders

Here Baba is talking about how those in power instill an inferiority complex into the minds of the masses and by that way it is easy for them to exploit the common people. This is especially done by the priest class.

Ananda Marga philosophy says, "If you analyse the history of the world, you will find that whenever one group exploited another in the economic sphere, they first created psychic exploitation by infusing inferiority complex in the minds of the exploited mass. You will find that in each case of economic exploitation, psychic exploitation was the foundation: if you go deep into the background, you will discover a continuous and cunning attempt to create inferiority complex." (7)

Being a Wt, a person has more scope for sadhana, service and sacrifice - because they are dedicated for that type of life. So if they are sincere in all their conduct rules, and deeply engaged in sadhana, service and sacrifice, and their overall conduct is ideal, then surely they should be given proper recognition, regard, and respect.

All-knowing Baba was well aware that if the dogma of priest supremacy continued then one section would suffer from a superiority complex and the other section would suffer from an inferiority complex. Just as the Hindu society has been getting exploited by priestocracy, the same fate would befall Ananda Marga. To root out this problem, Baba has given the term 'worker' for our Wts. So nobody should mistakenly think that our WTs are holy or divine simply because of their dress.

Baba in the pouring rain, You have come to me

"Path ceye base chinu yuga dhare, ele áji ghan varaśáy..." (Prabhat Samgiita 3226)

Purport:

O'  Parama Purusa, since ages I have been waiting for You looking toward the path of Your arrival - hoping to have Your darshan. All the good days have passed by, yet now, in the pouring rain, You have taken a lot of trouble to come to me. You are so gracious. In this rainy season, the misty pollen fragrance of my ketakii [1] flower is floating all around. Its aroma is permeating throughout this cloudy rainy season.

O' Parama Purusa, with deep yearning in my heart, in the effulgence of the day, I have sought to find You. I have looked for You in the pitch dark night, in the stars, planets, nebulae, everywhere. Baba, I have searched You in every nook and corner of the deep blue sky. In which unknown place were You hiding. I could not get You anywhere.

Through the scorching heat of the daylight hours, I searched for You until the day passed away. Then, in calling and longing for You, the tired night passed away and the new dawn [2] arose. In this way ages the have gone - and still I don’t have a trace of You. O' Parama Purusa Baba, in the course of waiting for You, in that long span, the garland which I prepared for You has become dry and withered away. Now only the thread is in my hand. Finally, in this late hour You have come. How shall I honour You and decorate You, my Dear One?

 O’ Supreme Entity, now in this situation how will I receive You. Now in this pouring rain You have taken advent next to me. Baba, You have showered Your infinite grace by coming close. I surrender at Your lotus feet...

Namaskar

Kolkata AMPS and Ranchi AMPS have secret meeting about some legal cases. Please find below WhatsApp post by Mantracetananda dada :-

-------

नमस्कार।

यह सत्य है, और होना भी चाहिए। कि  हमारे ईस्ट और आदर्श के  विरुद्ध यदि कुछ बोलता है, तो हम लोगो को उसका जमकर विरोध करना चाहिए।  भले ही उसके लिए अपना बलिदान ही क्यों न देना पड़े। 

हम लोगो को अपनी मानसिकता,  जो अपनी व्यक्तिगत पर्सनल्टी को एस्टेब्लिश करने की है। इसकी जगह ईस्ट और आदर्श को इस्टेब्लिश करने की मानसिकता बनानी होगी।

 आज जो हम ईस्ट और आदर्श की जगह जो अपनी व्यक्तिगत या अपने गॉड फादर की पेर्सनल्टी को इस्टेब्लिश करने में लगे है,  उसी का नतीजा है, कि संस्था कई भागो में विभाजित हो चुकी है।।

सबको मालूम है , कि संस्था में जितने भी क्रिमिनल केस कोर्ट केस चल रहे है , अधिकतर कोर्ट केसो में एक दूसरे से बदला लेने के लिए, एक दूसरे को झूठा नाम दे कर फसाया गया है। चाहे वह  बंगला ग्रुप हो या नन बंगाला ग्रुप,। ऐसा क्यों?

हर कोर्ट केस में गृही मार्गियों एवम् त्यागी कार्यकर्ताओ की पसीने की कमाई बर्बाद होती है।

और गृही मार्गियों एवं त्यागी कार्यकर्ताओ को सेन्ट्रल के कथाकथित सुपर पुरोधा गण एवम् पुरोधा गण (सुपर पुरोधा के चरित्र हींन चमचे लोग) अँधेरे में रखते है। और बेवकूफ बनाते है।

जब बंगला एवम् नन बंगला ग्रुप के लोग देल्ही साउथ एक्सटेंशन और आनंदनगर में  छुप छुप कर 

मिठाइयां एक दूसरे को खिलाकर, मीटिंग कर गुप्त  समझोता करते है। कि तुम दादा रुद्रानद जी के विरोध् मत जाओ, और हम लोग दादा अभिप्रेमानंद जी के केस  को अपने गवाहों के द्वारा ढीला कर देंगे, और इसी तरीके से रेप केस में भी समझोता करने की मीटिंग होती है।

क्या इस तरीके से करके गृही मार्गियों एवम् ओवरसीज के त्यागी कार्यकर्ताओ से सिर्फ पैसे का कलेक्शन करने का माध्यम  नहीं  बना लिया है? 

क्या इस प्रकार की मीटिंग, जो अपने आकाओ, या गॉड फादर को बचाने के लिए की जाती है।

उसकी जगह संस्था को  यूनाइट करने के लिए चर्या चर्य एवम् सिस्टम के आधार बना कर एक जगह  बैठ कर प्रयास नहीं किया जा सकता,। 

ऐसा क्यों नहीं?  

बस सेन्ट्रल के बंगाल एवं नन बंगला के कुछ मुठी भर आकाओ और गॉड फादर लोगो ने गृही मार्गियों एवं जूनियर त्यागी कार्यकर्ताओ  को बेवकूफ बनाकर एवं पैसे का कलेक्शन कर अपनी ( आकाओ/गॉड फादर)  लाइफ को लक्जरी के तरीका बन लिया है।

क्या यह एक विचारणीय विषय नहीं है?

Re: With a “grain of salt”

BABA,

Namaskar,

I fully support the views expressed in this bulletin. Dada K is misguiding. All the PS songs sung before BABA during DMCs were almost instanteous and translations/ purports were made in 3 languges ex-tempore. I had myself attended that DMC. The word was ABHIMA'N for which the real sense of Bangla word is totally different from English or Hindi/ Sam'skrt meaning. Baba had interrupted and stopped the English translation rendering by Dada Vijjayanandaji and in front of some 40 thousand devotees, corrected with explanation. Even now a video of that event is available at some places, possibly at Tiljala.Baba never gave the purports in advance.

in Him,
PDN

Vacuous Avt. misinforms the child + 3 more

Baba

Vacuous Avt. misinforms the child

Note: This letter is not for those who do not give importance to Baba's divine teachings.

Namaskar,

Sadguru Baba clearly guides us that when doing padmasana (lotus posture) then one should rest one palm over the other. The fingers should not be interlinked in any way. Pay special attention to the yellow highlighted section below.

http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com/

Caryacarya states, “When children are five years old and attain some awareness, the parents, brothers, sisters or any guardian may initiate them in Náma Mantra [the preliminary process of meditation]. They should be taught to sit in padmásana [lotus posture], but instead of interlocking the fingers, they may rest one palm upon the other; and keep the spine erect. They will then be instructed to feel or imagine that everything around them, and whatever they visualize, is Brahma.” (1)

​​

In the above photo, one WT Dada is teaching sadhana to a small child. Please pay attention to the child’s fingers - they are interlocked. Yet, sitting in padmasana and interlocking the fingers is forbidden by Sadguru Baba. The correct way to do padmasana is described in the above quote.

Seeing this photo, it is obvious that this Dada is ignorant about the sadhana process - especially how to sit in padmasana. And this is all due to poor training in WT Training Centre (TC) and lack of interest in reading Baba’s books. Often Wts suffer from a superiority complex as well. However, Baba says that in order to acquire knowledge one must adopt the psychology, “I know not.” Yet this feeling - “I know not” - is scarce in WT life. So the problem is two-fold: Most Wts do not read Baba’s books and they think that they already know everything.

http://anandamarganewsbulletin.blogspot.com/

This is the problem we are facing nowadays in our organisation. Baba has taken a lot of trouble to write hundreds of books and if His disciples do not read them then who is going to read them.


Conclusion

Whatever may be, it is quite obvious that this Dada is ignorant and he is misguiding this innocent child, unfortunately.

Namaskar,
In Him,
Mahamaya’

Sadhana: How to request God

Here following is an English summary or gist of the below Hindi teaching:

The first stage is getting over the small 'I'. After getting above the small 'I' to some extent, in the second stage, humans should fight against their mental defects. For example, if one is afflicted by some kind of superiority complex, or inferiority complex, one has to combat that.  Some may be afflicted with attachment (moha). So, all these mental defects one is to fight against in the second stage. Humans may possess some will power to fight against these defects but that alone is not enough. One needs to constantly make endeavor to overcome the mental defects. This requires additional strength or power. This power comes from Parama Purusa's grace alone. Sa'dhana' does not provide us with anything. All Sa'dhana' does is facilitate the grace of Parama Purusa. So, one is to ask for the power to fight against his/her mental defects from Parama Purusa. One should earnestly say, "Parama Purusa, I would like to march towards You but I do not have strength in my knees. Please provide me energy and I'll walk towards You.”

चलने की शक्ति ठेहुना में है नहीं | तुम मुझे शक्ति दो

Ananda Marga ideology guides us,  “और, दूसरा स्तर यह है कि जब मनुष्य आपने छोटापन के ऊपर कुछ हद तक उठे हैं, किन्तु उसके बाद जो दूसरा स्तर आएगा उसमें उन्हें क्या करना है ? उनमें जो मानसिक त्रुटियाँ हैं, ख़ामियाँ हैं उनके विरुद्ध उन्हें लड़ाई करनी है | मनुष्य में वह शक्ति कुछ हद तक तो अवश्य ही रहती है | मगर उस शक्ति से पूरा काम नहीं हो सकता है | और यह काम को पूरा करने के लिए उन्हें अधिक से अधिक प्रयास जारी रखना है | इसके लिए और अधिक शक्ति की भी ज़रूरत है | यह शक्ति कहाँ से पाएँगे ? पाएँगे परमपुरुष से ही | पहले कहा गया है कि मनुष्य साधना करते हैं, मगर साधना की बदौलत कुछ पाते नहीं है | पाते हैं परमपुरुष की मेहरबानी की बदौलत, उन्हीं की कृपा से पाते हैं | इसलिए यह काम करने के लिए, परमपुरुष से शक्ति माँगनी है, क़ुव्वत माँगनी है | कहना है--- "परमपुरुष ! मैं तुम्हारी ओर चलना चाहता हूँ | मगर चलने की शक्ति ठेहुना में है नहीं | तुम मुझे शक्ति दो, मैं चलूँगा" |” (1)

== Section 3: Important Teaching ==

Two broad categories of sin

Ananda Marga philosophy says, "Pa´pa means "to do that which should not be done". For instance, stealing is pa´pa, telling lies is pa´pa. In addition to pa´pa, there is another word - pratyava´ya. Pratyava´ya means "not to do what should be done". For instance, parents should educate their children. If they do not, they are said to have committed pratyava´ya. In some countries, parents are responsible for arranging the marriage of their daughters who are of suitable age. If they do not, they are said to have committed pratyava´ya. In common parlance, pa´pa means both pa´pa and pratyava´ya. The common word pa´taka [sin] thus has two branches - pa´pa and pratyava´ya." (1)

Ananda Marga ideology says, "Regarding the special meaning of pa´pa: Pa´pas are of two kinds. In the social order, there are certain vidhis and certain nis´edhas - certain dos and certain don'ts. "You should do this, you should do this, you should do this, you should do this" - these are the dos of society. These dos are called vidhi in Sanskrit. And there are certain don'ts - "Don't steal, don't do this, don't do this, don't do this." These don'ts are called nis´edha in Sanskrit." "What if you go against the vidhis, for example, "feed the poor," "serve the ailing humanity" (these are all vidhis - "Do this" - that is, positive orders)? For example, if you are to serve ailing persons but you are not serving ailing persons, then you are going against a vidhi. To go against a vidhi is called pratyava´ya. If you are not serving a man in distress, then you are committing pratyava´ya." (2)
