Distortion in AM book: false things in AV-11 about Gańesha
Namaskár,
Everybody knows that the Hindu religion has countless fictitious, imaginary, mythological gods and goddesses. History bears testimony that in the hoary past, when people were not so much educated, they easily believed those things propagated by their religious priests. Mostly those tales were fictitious or imaginary. And the deity ‘Gańesha’ is one of them.
Please see the below photo, an image of Gańesha. You can see clearly that it is an elephant’s face on a human body. This is a fictitious deity of Hinduism. But see our Ánanda Márga book’s yellow highlighted section below, from AV-11. In the discourse “The Psychology behind the Origin of Tantric Gods and Goddesses”, it is printed-- I know that he [the imaginary figure Gańesha] has some occult power.
Example: Fictitious Things in Ananda Marga Books
This above yellow-highlighted line from our own Ánanda Márga book, is ludicrous. Firstly, the mythological Gańesha is imaginary; it does not exist. And second, in Ánanda Vacanámrtam it is falsely printed that this Gańesha not only exists but has occult power also. So the personality which does not exist even, which is fictitious, is described as having occult power. This is the proof that Ánanda Márga books have a lot of distortions, i.e. false things are there. Bábá has told one thing, but something else is printed. This is a very sad situation.
Here above is the Hindu deity Gańesha
Here below is the full passage from AV-11 printed by our Tiljala Publishers---
“If one meditates on Gańesha, one will become Gańesha. Gańesha is dalapati; dalapati means gańapati [mass leader]. A kind of leader worship is still to be observed in many countries! So if you meditate on Gańesha, it means you want to become like Ganesha, you want to become a “leader” – but in fact you will develope [sic] a long trunk and a fat belly. People become like their objects of meditation.”
“I do not know whether Gańesha has any spiritual knowledge or scientific understanding, wisdom, spiritual quality or not. I know that he [imaginary figure Gańesha] has some occult power.” (1)
Duty of bhaktas to fix AM books
In this way you can see that our Ánanda Márga books have so many distortions. If you read carefully and try to match what is printed with Bábá’s audio, you will be shocked and your heart will be broken.
Now it is the duty of bhaktas to come forward and fix our Ánanda Márga books using Bábá’s original voice recordings, which are all accumulated in the Tiljala archive.
Conclusion
The deity Gańesha is imaginary. So printing in our Ánanda Márga books that this fictitious deity has occult power, is preposterous.
Namaskar,
In service to Gurudeva,
Madhumita Basu
Note 1: In the above yellow sentence printed by our Tiljala Publishers-- I know that he [imaginary figure Gańesha] has some occult power -- the “I” is Shrii Shrii Ánandamúrti ji. So our Tiljala Publishers are claiming Bábá said He knows that Gańesha has some occult powers. What an outrageous, outlandish idea.
Note 2: This who want to know more about this fictitious Hindu deity Gańesha, should read our AMPS publication “Namah Shiváya Shántáya”.
Note 3: In order to make Baba’s books pristine, please forward this posting to the respected Tiljala Publications Secretary, dada Mantreshwarananda ji <Mantreshwarananda@hotmail.com>, and to respected dada Acyutananda ji, <acyutananda1@gmail.com>.
Note 4. Story of Decomposed Infant in the Box
It is like a thief who stole a box off a train. In the process of escaping with the box he got caught by the police. Upon their questioning he insisted it was his own box. The police proceeded to open the box and found inside the dead body of a murdered child. So now the thief has trapped himself in a murder. The police had asked him if the box was his and he swore it was. Now he is trapped.
একটা চোর ৰাক্স চুরি করল চলা ত্রেন থেকে | পলাযনের সময পুলিসে ধোরা পড়ল | তাদের প্রশ্নের উত্তরে ৰোলল এই ৰাক্স তো আমার | পুলিশ ৰাক্সটা খুলে দেখল একটি খুন করা ছোট শিশুর লাশ ভিতোরে আছে | পুলিস ওকে জিজ্ঞাস করেছিল এই ৰাক্সটা কি তোমারে ? আরে ও ৰোলেছিল হ্যাঁ | এখন ও ফাঁদে পড়ল |
This is the situation of EC and H group. With eyes closed, they are printing all the books of B group. When they will wake up, no one knows. But one thing is true, that these people are taking upon themselves full responsibility for the mistakes of the B group Publishers by putting their own name on the same publications. In a way they are involving themselves in the same sin. Otherwise, why haven’t they or why don’t they transcribe the discourse from the original discourse and print it anew on their own?
Having claimed credit as the publisher, they are now getting caught red-handed as the creators of distortion-filled discourses.
