Ranchi Group's
Negligent Publishing Practices
It should be added that firstly, it is true Kolkata group does all the publishing of Ánanda Márga books today, and as such is responsible for the distortions they publish. And because of that Márgiis have been writing in expressing their concern and even outrage over Kolkata group's irresponsible publishing practices.
But because of this, some Márgiis get confused, thinking that there is a "leaning" in this network against Kolkata group. However that is not at all the case. Márgiis have also written letters about the irresponsible publishing practices of H group. Please see the below excerpt from previous postings on this forum:
"H/EC group acquired B group's distortion-ridden printed discourses, and took credit for the discourses by reprinting them in their own name...Of note, the current H group Publications Secretary Ác. Mŕtyuinjayánanda Ávt., has not done anything to change this status quo. The books continue to be taken from B group and reprinted point blank, with no editing or proof checking involved. If Ác. Mŕtyuinjayánanda Ávt had read the discourse, he could have immediately detected the nonsensical paragraph and created an errata page for the book. But that has not been done."
"We cannot assume to know why Ác. Mŕtyuinjayánanda Ávt behaves the way he does; only he knows the reason. Nonetheless, the result of his work is in view for all to see."
"Nothing is ever changed or fixed; the books he receives from B group he turns around and sends to a printing company for printing, with his name as AMPS Publisher. From longstanding habits such as these it does not seem unfair to conclude that our H group AMPS publications department is verily and unfortunately located in the plastic bag where Ác. Mŕtyuinjayánanda Ávt holds the B group books to bring to the printing company."
"It should be added that the Ánanda Vacanámrtam series is the easiest to read and most popular, and Hindi is the most common language version read and purchased, of all our AMPS publications. Even then as popular and in demand as this series is, still the Hindi edition of this discourse in Ánanda Vacanámrtam Part Three, with its distorted nonsensical paragraph, remains unchanged after all these years both in the B group and H/EC group publications."
