Letter #26: slew of distortions in printed discourse

Namaskar,

Kindly see this newly reviewed section of the printed discourse, “Three Fundamental Factors to Succeed in Sádhaná Márga”. Here we begin at the 2:04 minute mark. So this is an entirely new section in this series of letters that examines the integrity of Baba’s printed discourses.

Red underlined words are not Baba’s

Please listen to the sound file of Baba’s below discourse. This English audio file is from Kolkata (15 Dec 1978)

• https://archive.org/details/threefundamentalfactorstosucceedinsadhana15dec78

Kindly look at the below scan: In only 4 lines of the newly reviewed section of the English discourse there are 20 wrong words that have been inserted into the English edition of AV-6. That means these terms are not present in Baba’s original English audio. In addition, there are numerous words Baba spoke in English which they failed to transcribe. Verily, Tiljala Publications tainted Ananda Vacanamrtam - 6 (discourse #131). These red underlined words are improper insertions.

Please see this scan and start listening from 2:04 minute mark. The red underlined words are all wrong. You will not find these words in Bábá’s original English audio. Plus there are many words Baba spoke which are missing. This is a serious issue.

You will not find these words in Bábá’s English audio; just these are the words of the publishers, not Baba. In addition, there are many words which Baba spoke that they omitted.

Sadhakas expect to read Baba’s words, but...

All this is critically important because when sadhakas pick-up one of Baba’s books they expect to be reading Baba’s words. This is especially the case when Baba delivered His discourse entirely in English and the text is also exclusively in English. Yet, as is shown below, we are not given Baba’s exact words - but rather something else in the name of Baba. Verily, that is not the direct speech of Parama Purusa Baba. That is the matter at hand. And that is the heart of the issue that is addressed herein.

Please listen to the sound file of Baba’s discourse.

When reading one of Baba’s books we expect to be having communion with Baba’s exact words. But sadly, as has been proven repeatedly in this single discourse, there is a massive disparity between what Baba actually spoke and what Tilaja Publications printed in the book. This severely hinders the experience of reading one of Baba’s books.


Conclusion

As His disciples, Sadguru Baba has entrusted us with His divine discourses to lead humanity from darkness to light. So the fact that the printed AM books are not accurate depictions of Baba’s discourses is not just terribly problematic, but sinful. The time has come for margiis and Wts to remake all of Sadguru Baba’s book using the sound files of Baba’s discourses.

In Him,
Mamata Ghosh

Same incorrect books Rudrananda reprints & sells

The discourses Tiljala Publications (TP) published in the Ananda Vacanamrtam series are filled with discrepancies and errors. This is readily apparent when comparing TP's printed AV books with what Baba spoke, i.e. the original sound files of those same discourses. And that deviation is the focal point of this letter. Bábá has spoken in a particular manner, but the publishers have printed something entirely different. Whatever Bábá spoke, they did not print verbatim in those books that were exclusively in English and Hindi. Unfortunately, Rudrananda's group reprints and sells those same wrong books in their own name. Sadly, they have not an iota of interest in fixing the discourses.

Letter #25: few more mistakes in AV-8

Baba

Letter #25: few more mistakes in AV-8

Namaskar,

Thanks for continuing to monitor the distortions in the printed version of the English discourse “The Ten Characteristics of Dharma”. Here we pick up the audio file for this next English section at the 8 min 20 sec mark. 

Red underlined terms are distortions

This discourse that was given by Sadguru Baba entirely in English, but Tilajala Publications did not print it in an accurate manner, even though this is the English edition, and Baba’s audio was given only in English. In the below AV book scan, the red underlined words are not Baba’s direct terms. Rather Dada Sarvatmananda and Tiljala Publications affected the book by inserting their own words.

Look at what is going on

Please see the below scan and start listening to the sound file from 8:20 minute mark:

(A) Here is the sound file: https://archive.org/details/tencharacteristicsofdharma18feb1979
(B) The red underlined words are wrong and do not belong in this printed English edition.
(C) In just 7 lines of the discourse there are 23 wrong words that have been inserted into the printed text.
(D) You will not find these words in Bábá’s English audio. This is just an adulteration.
(E) In addition, there are numerous words Baba spoke in English which they failed to transcribe.

By all of the above it is clear that Tiljala Publications distorted the English edition of the AV-8 book.

Rudrananda reprints & sells same distorted, altered books

The discourses Tiljala Publications (TP) published in the Ananda Vacanamrtam series are filled with gross discrepancies and errors. This is readily apparent when comparing TP's printed AV books with what Baba spoke, i.e. the original sound files of those same discourses. And that deviation is the focal point of this letter. Bábá has spoken one thing, whereas they have printed something entirely different. Whatever Bábá spoke, they distorted and printed in those books that were exclusively in English and Hindi. Unfortunately, Rudrananda's group reprints and sells those same distorted, altered Baba books in their own name. Sadly, they have not an iota of interest in fixing the discourses.

"Scripture must be flawless"

Ananda Marga philosophy says, "You must see to it that no irrational, undesirable or detrimental theory is propagated in the external world, which can harmfully influence the human mind. You must be ever-vigilant in this regard. That is why I told you to be vocal against all sorts of injustice. Otherwise your goal will not be achieved." (Neo-Humanism: Liberation of Intellect, Discourse 7)

Ananda Marga philosophy guides us, "The scriptures containing spiritual injunctions must be totally flawless. And the pioneering personality must be a strict and benevolent guardian with unyielding conviction." (Namah Shivaya Shantaya, page .200, Edition 1995)

Ananda Marga philosophy says, "The spirit of the message of scripture is conveyed to the readers in a language that touches the deepest chords of the human heart. It is meant to provide inspiration to the seekers of truth. The scripture arouses deep devotional sentiments." (Tattva Kaomudii - 2, 'Our Spiritual Treatise)

Ananda Marga philosophy teaches us, "There must be an excellent and all-embracing philosophy, in which there should be no loophole in any sphere of mind as far as possible." (Namah Shivaya Shantaya '95 edition, page.196)

Ananda Marga philosophy states, "Absolute knowledge is the direct message from God...The books in A'nanda Ma'rga philosophy are all absolute knowledge." (Prout in a Nutshell- part 18, page 10)

Letter #24: more pollution in AV-10

Baba

Letter #24: more pollution in AV-10

Namaskar,

This new section is the third review of this discourse that begins and begins at the 1:25 mark. This English audio is from Kolkata (11 Apr 1979), and the scanned page is from the book Ananda Vacanamrtam - 10 (chapter #3, “Parama Puruśa – the Primordial Cause”).

Sadly, there is a stark disparity between what Baba actually spoke in English and what Tilaja Publications printed in the English edition. This particular section is filled with insertions by the publishers, thereby misleading the reader. Kindly compare the printed words with the Baba audio file (link below) of this same discourse.

Red underlined words are distortions

Please listen to the sound file of Baba’s below discourse.

• https://archive.org/details/paramapurusatheprimordialcause

Look at the below scan: In just 5 lines of the newly reviewed section of the discourse there are 38 wrong words that have been inserted into the printed text. These red underlined terms are not present in Baba’s original English audio. Baba did not say these things in English, yet they were printed in the English edition in His name. In addition, there are numerous words Baba spoke which they failed to transcribe. Verily, Tiljala Publications distorted the book.

Not Baba's words

This above discourse was given by Sadguru Baba primarily in English, but Tilajala Publications did not print it in an accurate manner, even though this is the English edition, and Baba’s audio was given mostly in English. In the below AV book scan, the red underlined words are not Baba’s direct terms. Rather Dada Sarvatmananda and Tiljala Publications polluted the book by inserting their own words.
