Tiljala Publications Official Errata Page

BABA

Namaskar,

Some people, due to ignorance, falsely propagate that pre-1990 books were all reviewed by Bábá and as such are perfect -- and they further propagate that pointing out corrections in those books means creating a stigma against Bábá's greatness. These types of false things ignorant people propagate.

Here is the answer: Please see the below list in which hundreds of discourses' errata have been compiled by Tiljala Publications. Following the list there is a link to the list provided by Tiljala Publications. So Tiljala Publications accepts and propagates that the pre-1990 books have mistakes in them.

By this it is very clear that Tiljala Publications openly accepts that the old books have mistakes. It is a well known fact that these old books were not reviewed by Bábá. The fact that these books have many, many mistakes provides an additional proof that Bábá did not review the books.

Although Tiljala Publications openly accepts that the pre-1990 books have mistakes, the main thorny issue is that Tiljala Publications wants Bangalisation.

See the first paragraph:

INCORRECT

This mistaken belief arises because people have no conception of the infinite, or have the capacity to conceive of it.

CORRECT

This mistaken belief arises because people have no conception of the infinite, [[nor]] have the capacity to conceive of it.

See the paragraph beginning “Morning”:

INCORRECT

Morning - Utkśepa Mudrá, Padahastásana, Agnisára Mudrá, Ud́d́ayana Mudrá and Ágneyii Práńáyáma.

CORRECT

Morning - Utkśepa Mudrá, Padahastásana, Agnisára Mudrá, Ud́d́ayana Mudrá, and [[Ágneyii Mudrá or]] Ágneyii Práńáyáma.

See the end.

INCORRECT

. . . G-O-D, God.

CORRECT

. . . G-O-D, God.

[[ Now, Oṋḿ bhúrbhuvah svah oṋḿ tat saviturvareńyaḿ. Bhúrbhuvah svah – bhúh represents this mundane manifestation, this world of physicality. And bhuvah represents the psychic world. And svah represents the astral world, the causal world. You know, in the process of creation, in the extroversive phase, there are seven strata. There are seven layers. From crude to subtle, these layers are bhur, bhuvah, svah, mahah, janah, tapah, satya. Satyaloka is the subtlest loka. And that's why in Tantra it has been said:

Satyaloke nirákárá mahájyotisvarúpińii
Máyáccháditátmánaḿ cańakákárarúpińii;
Máyábalkalaḿ saḿtyajya dvidhábhinná yadonmukhii
Shivashakti vibhágena jáyate srśt́ikalpaná.

[The Supreme Entity in Satyaloka* is without form, a flood of effulgence,
Covered by the coating of Máyá (the Creative Principle), united with the Operative Principle like an ungerminated gram.
Later, when the coating of Máyá drops off, the two portions of the gram become separated;
Similarly, when Shiva and Shakti are separated, the imagination of creation is aroused.]

* This creation is divided into seven strata called lokas; the subtlest is Satyaloka. –Eds.

Satyaloka is the subtlest loka. Loka means "stratum". So there are seven strata. Bhuh, bhuvah, svah, mahah, janah, tapah, satya. And the collective name for those seven strata is Mahávyáhrti. Mahávyáhrti.**

** Some words, perhaps a few sentences, were missing here on the tape. –Eds.

Oṋḿ bhúrbhuvah svah oṋḿ. That is, here in this mantra, God has been addressed by the term Savitá. Savitá means – Su is a root verb; in Sanskrit su means "to create". Su + tr, prathamá eka vacana [first case, singular] – savitá. Savitá means "Creator". Savitá means "Father". Father of what? The father of these seven strata. Father of these seven lokas. Do you follow?

Oṋḿ bhúrbhuvah svah oṋḿ tat saviturvareńyaḿ;
Bhargo devasya dhiimahi . . .

[Next the author, in several prose Sanskrit sentences, paraphrases the meaning of the mantra in his own words. These sentences are still under audio analysis.]

“I meditate on the Divine Effulgence of the Supreme Father who did create these seven strata. And why do I meditate on His Divine Effulgence? So that He may guide my, direct my, intellect unto the path of Supreme Beatitude. That's why.” This is the meaning of this ‘Gáyattri Mantra’. And this is the mantra of Vaedikii diikśá [Vedic initiation]. And in this mantra, the sádhaka, the aspirant, requests the Supreme Father to show him the way. He wants the way, he wants the path of bliss. And after getting that path through Tántrikii diikśá, he is to do according to that diikśá. He is to practise sadhana. Dhiyo yo nah pracodayát oṋḿ.

This is the spirit of “Savitr Rk”, incorrectly called “Gáyattri Mantra”. It should be “Savitr Rk”. Because in this mantra, God has been addressed by the word Savitá. Tat savitur [vareńyaḿ]. Savitur – śaśt́hii [sixth case] eka vacana [singular number] of the word [savitr]. I think now it is quite clear.

Kalyánamastu [Let there be welfare]. ]]

How Does Jiiva Become Shiva

Notes:

See the paragraph beginning “That is, in the scriptures”:

INCORRECT

And those forms, colours and bhávas are sometimes beyond the scope of conception of the mind of the microcosm.

CORRECT

And those forms, colours and bhávas are sometimes beyond the scope of perception of the sensory organs, and somewhere they are beyond the scope of conception of the mind of the microcosm.

Human Life and Its Goal

Corrections:

See the paragraph beginning "And finally the feeling that 'I exist'":

INCORRECT

That knowing entity is the "I", and the existing entity is the second phase of "I", not the final "I".

And then there is the universal Supreme "I", who knows that you know that you exist.

CORRECT

That knowing entity is the "I", and the existing entity is the second phase of "I", not the final "I". So this "I know", this knowing "I", is the individual [knowing] "I", or individual [knowing] "I's".

But that "I" is your individual supreme "I". And then there is the universal Supreme "I", who knows that you know that you exist.

Ism and Human Progress

Corrections:

See the paragraph beginning “Service should always be for the sake of service”:

INCORRECT

As long as people live in the country of their birth] they should serve that country . . .

CORRECT

As long as people live in [the country of their birth] they should serve that country . . .

Justice

Corrections:

See the paragraph beginning “While presiding over a trial”:

INCORRECT

While presiding over a trial a judge should not be prejudiced against the accused, but should consider whether he or she has committed a crime or not; and if so, under what circumstances, and whether the crime was committed voluntarily or at the instigation of others.

CORRECT

[[When sitting to pass judgement, a judge should not assume the person to be a criminal, but should at the outset consider whether he or she has committed a crime or not; and if so, under what circumstances he was motivated to do it, and whether the crime was committed voluntarily or at the instigation of others.]]

Corrections:

The three footnotes and their references are as follows –

See the first paragraph:

Krśńa, the Nucleus of the Universe

Corrections:

See the paragraph beginning “And where does He stand?”:

INCORRECT

No, He lives with all living creatures; that is why He lives in bhútatattva, kśititattva [the solid factor].

Leadership -- Section A

Corrections:

See the paragraph beginning “The nature of people”:

INCORRECT

Throughout history it can be noticed that many countries with a demoniacal nature have pushed the entire society to the brink of destruction.

CORRECT

[[It can be noticed in the history of many countries that certain intelligent leaders with a demoniacal nature]] pushed the entire society onto the path of destruction.

Love -- the Essential Prerequisite

Corrections:

See the paragraph beginning “What is yoga?”:

INCORRECT

It is dangerous for the human elevation. “Hat́ha” comes from “ha” and “t́ha”. “Ha” represents “súrya nádii or ida nádii” and is the acoustic root of physical force. “Tha” represents “candra nádii or piuṋgalá nádii” and is the acoustic root of the mind. So “hat́ha” implies forcible control of mind by physical force. In popular parlance whenever something happens very abruptly or all of a sudden we use the word “hat́hát” i.e., “Hat́hena kurute karma.” Obviously a practitioner of “Hat́ha Yoga” can not attain liberation.

CORRECT

It is dangerous for human elevation.*

* “Hat́ha” comes from “ha” and “t́ha”. “Ha” represents súrya nádii or [[piuṋgalá]] nádii and is the acoustic root of physical force. “T́ha” represents candra nádii or [[id́a]] nádii and is the acoustic root of the mind. So “hat́ha” implies forcible control of mind by physical force. In popular parlance, whenever something happens very abruptly or all of a sudden we use the word “hat́hát” -- i.e., “Hat́hena kurute karma.” Obviously a practitioner of hat́ha yoga cannot attain liberation. –Eds.

Macropsychic Conation and Micropsychic Longings

See under FRUITS, the paragraph beginning “The following system”:

INCORRECT

That is, one medium tree should be planted at a distance of · 1/² feet from the two big trees.

CORRECT

That is, one medium tree should be planted at a distance of 7 1/2 feet from the two big trees.

See the paragraph beginning “The world government should form”:

INCORRECT

The world government should form certain autonomous units, not necessarily national (based on problems of education, food supply, flood control, public sentiment), which should look after mundane and supramundane problems. The boundaries of these units may be readjusted to suit any change in the environment – for instance, development in the techniques of communication. Development in the means of communication brings the different remote parts of the world nearer, and the world, therefore, grows smaller. With this well-developed swifter means of communication, units with bigger areas can work smoothly and efficiently.(3)

CORRECT

A language must also be evolved as the lingua franca of the world. (At present English is most suitable for the purpose and no national sentiment should be encouraged to go against it.) But the local languages must be encouraged to help the indigenous literatures develop and contribute towards world progress, and thereby contribute to the common brotherhood of humanity.

See the paragraph beginning “The principles of Prout depend”:

INCORRECT

The principles of Prout depend upon the following fundamental factors:

. . .

5. The method of utilization should vary in accordance with changes in time, space and person, and the utilization should be of progressive nature.*

CORRECT

The principles of Prout depend upon the following fundamental factors:

. . .

5. The method of utilization should vary in accordance with changes in time, space and person, and the utilization should be of progressive nature.*

* These principles, named the “Five Fundamental Principles of Prout” by the author, were added to the first edition of Idea and Ideology as it was being printed during November 1959. However, since the author included them as part of this discourse, “The Cosmic Brotherhood”, which was given on 5 June 1959, they are dated accordingly. –Eds.

The Cosmological Order

Corrections:

See the paragraph beginning “Sarvájiive sarvasaḿsthe brhante tasmin haḿso bhrámyate Brahmacakre”:

INCORRECT

And the movement goes on till Prthagátmánaḿ preritárain^ca matvá – till he thinks that he and his Lord, he and the Supreme goal, he and the Supreme nave, are the two different entities – till he realizes this, till this idea of differentiation, till this idea of separation, is there.

CORRECT

And the movement goes on [[as long as]] Prthagátmánaḿ preritárain^ca matvá – [[as long as]] he thinks that he and his Lord, he and the Supreme goal, he and the Supreme nave, are two different entities ́ [[as long as]] he realizes this, [[as long as]] this idea of differentiation, [[as long]] as this idea of separation, is there.

Sudhá rase bhásáo yakhan

Dhanya Hari, dhanya Hari.

[When tears of pain roll down my cheeks

Thanks to Hari, thanks to Hari;

The Expansion of the Microcosm

Corrections:

See the paragraph beginning “What is the vast play”:

INCORRECT

It does exist but in a subdued form – it's action expression is unsubstantiated, and is this incapable of giving a subjective bearing to Puruśa.

CORRECT

It does exist but in a subdued form – its action expression is unsubstantiated, and is thus incapable of giving a subjective bearing to Puruśa.

See the paragraph beginning “Thus there are three paths”:

INCORRECT

If the subtle factors within them crudify, that is, are converted into solid, one day, due to extreme condensation, their existence will go beyond the sense of perception, becoming extremely small.

CORRECT

If the subtle factors within them crudify, that is, are converted into solid, one day, due to extreme condensation, their existence will go beyond [[perceptibility]], becoming extremely small.

The Five Kinds of Conscience (Viveka)

Corrections:

See the paragraph beginning “The first characteristic of religion”:

INCORRECT

Dharma is an eternal truth credible and does not depend on any individual, prophet or avatára (direct descent of God) for its substantiation.

CORRECT

Dharma is an eternal truth and does not depend on any individual, prophet or avatára (direct descent of God) for its credible substantiation.

The Four Types of Progress

Notes:

This discourse, which was given in English, was originally published using as its source a typed Spanish translation from the original English, and retranslating that Spanish back into English. This version is based on transcribing the tape that was discovered later.

Corrections:

Please replace the entire discourse with the following version:

You know, in our universe nothing is fixed, nothing is stationary, everything moves. Movement is the order of nature. Movement is the order of cognition. Where there is no movement, there is no stir of life. [To pause] means complete death. This physical world, with all its quinquelemental factors, is moving, always moving, and nothing in this universe can be away from this collective stream, or flow.

In human structure, in the small protoplasmic cells, there is internal movement. In the collective form of protozoa, that is, in the metazoic structure, the intermetazoic space always goes on increasing and decreasing, thus helping in movement.

In our mind, the ectoplasmic structure moves internally, creating external pressure on other microcosms, and also creating a stir in the Supreme Macrocosmic structure. Nothing is fixed, nothing is stationary. Thus within the spiritual stratum, the path is never-ending. It starts from the subtlest extremity of the Macrocosm and goes on moving along its eternal path of bliss. This is the system. In a small atom, electrons move. In our ethereal structure, the earth moves along with its satellite, the moon. Mars moves along with its satellites, Deimos and Phobos. The sun along with its planetary world moves in eternal space. Nothing is fixed.

In the human structure, in all living structures, in the case of all animate objects, the movement is four-fold:

1) Your mind is attached to the physical portions of the body – your bones, nerve fibres, nerve cells – which is all moving. This is your physical movement.

2) Your physico-psychic body, that is, the psychic body associated with the [physical] body, moves. So your second movement is your psychic movement. The first movement is your physical movement, the movement of nerve fibres, nerve cells, etc. The second movement is your psychic movement.

3) The third movement is your psycho-spiritual movement, starting from the psychic arena and moving towards the spiritual self.

4) And the subtlest, or fourth, movement is your [spiritual] movement, [spiritual] advance.

The physical movement is not only a movement of human beings but a movement of all living beings. That is, all other animals, all other plants, also move physically.

Regarding psychic movement, human minds can move from one point to another, one projection converted into another projection, one psychic pabulum or pabula transmuted into another psychic pabulum or pabula. But in the case of plants, this psychic movement is nothing but an inborn instinct. In the case of the animal world also – in the case of undeveloped animals – the movement is purely of inborn instinct. They move by instinct, there is no independent thought. In the case of developed animals, there is a small touch of independent thought. And in the case of humans, they can think anything and everything. And this is the speciality of human beings – independent thought.

And when this independent thought is choked or barred or checked by something internal or external, that barring entity is a dangerous entity for human progress. And when human psychic flow is barred in this way, that barred, that restricted, human idea or human thought or human projection may be called dogma. The progress of human society must always be free from all sorts of dogmas; otherwise human progress will be sealed forever. Human progress will be blocked forever.

The third human progress is psycho-spiritual progress. What is psycho-spiritual progress? We get pleasure through our psychic progress or psychic approaches or through different types of external or internal psychic projec¬tions, but the subtler the object of projection, the more blissful a person is. So each and every human being should be encouraged to make this psycho-spiritual progress. It is a special wont of human beings. No other animal can have this psycho-spiritual progress.

And the last one is spiritual progress. When the psychic body of a man, either intellectual or non-intellectual, gets pointed, all the pinnacled human propensities march toward the all-pervading entity of Cognition, and finally become one with that Cognition. And within this realm of eternal Cognition, the march goes on. This is spiritual progress. A spiritual aspirant should always remember that [in him] there must be a happy blending of progress in all the four strata: the physical, the psychic, the psycho-spiritual and the spiritual.

Recently I said, perhaps in Israel or in Turkey, that amongst these four types of progress, the physical and the psychic are of objective nature, and the psycho-spiritual and the spiritual are of subjective nature. That is, in living beings there are two main options of progress: they are the objective and the subjec¬tive.

In this world, you require food, you require medicine, you require shelter, you require education, and so many other things. You require a healthy economic structure, you require a free life, free from all exploitation. And you require so many things to maintain the health of your physical body and to maintain the proper order of your objective world. You cannot ignore these things, you cannot deny their necessity. You should do your duty in the realm of objectivity, and at the same time you must not forget that you are glorified human beings. You are to elevate yourself to the excellence of human glory, to the grandeur of humanity. So your progress in the psycho-spiritual sphere must go on unbarred.

INCORRECT

CORRECT

3. See the ending of the discourse:

INCORRECT

. . . A man cannot be the shelter. Parama Puruśa is the shelter.

CORRECT

. . . A man cannot be the shelter. Parama Puruśa is the shelter.

For example, this city of Stockholm is sheltered in the country of Sweden. Sweden is a bigger space than the city of Stockholm. This country of Sweden is sheltered in the continent of Europa, whose shelter is this planet earth; the shelter of this planet earth is the solar system, and the shelter of this solar system is the Cosmological Order. And this Cosmological Order is nothing but an internal psychic projection of Parama Puruśa. So He is the Supreme Shelter.

And not only that. Because of His intuitional entity's presence in each and every expression, He witnesses everything. Nothing is secret for Him. You may think that those* affairs, those things that I did, perhaps Parama Puruśa did not see those. [laughter] “He is so busy in so many works, perhaps He neglected it.”

* An adjective here was unclear on the tape. –Trans.

No, He sees everything, because it is His duty to see. He sees, but it does not mean that He hates. Because He sees, but He has sympathy for each and every expression. Why? Because each and every expression is an emanated expression of His cordiality. So each and every expression is an object of affection for Him.

A bad man is a misguided son of Parama Puruśa. A father must have, and actually a father has got, immense love for all his children. Son or daughter, good boy or bad boy; but when a son or a daughter is misguided, he wants that he or she should come to the proper way, he or she should resort to the proper path. This is the thing. It is His duty to see that everyone moves towards the Supreme Goal, towards the Supreme Desideratum. And He is always ready to help anybody and everybody; and He helps, and He will be helping in future, because it is His only [duty]. And for the created beings, their only duty is to move along the path of beatitude shown by the Supreme Father.

So in the case of Parama Puruśa and His progeniture, the love is mutual. He loves His progeniture not for the purpose of getting love from the progeniture. But in the case of the progeniture, it is just the reverse. Suppose He says, “No, from this very moment I will not love My creation,” then and there the creation will cease to function. Because the movement starts from love, the movement resides on love, and the movement finally goeth back to love. So I said love is mutual.

And when His progeny sing Bábá nám kevalam openly, He sings Bábá nám kevalam secretly. Because the Progenitor is the nearest and dearest one for the progeny, hence the progeny also is the nearest and dearest one for the Supreme Progenitor. Both are bábá to each other and one another.

The entire creation is the creation of that Singular Entity. So everybody comes from a very high family, a very noble family. Nobody is unimportant. Nobody deserves hatred.

Sarve'tra sukhinah bhavantu sarve santu nirámayáh;
Sarve bhadráńi pashyantu na kashcid duhkhamápnuyÃ¡t.

“Let everybody be happy; let everybody be free from all psychic ailments; let everybody see the bright side of everything; let nobody suffer from [any trouble under pressure of circumstances].”

Ananda Marga: A Revolution

Corrections:

See the paragraph beginning “Similarly, if Ananda Marga only developed”:

INCORRECT

Those who do not know Ananda Marga will come to the natural and obvious conclusion that one. Ananda Marga should not claim any achievement which is illogical and hence a classless society, which would be illogical, cannot be achieved by Ananda Marga; and two, that Ananda Marga is also like many of the other societies of idealists and moralists who aim at a classless society.

CORRECT

Ananda Marga does not claim any achievement which is illogical, and hence a classless society, which would be illogical, cannot be achieved by Ananda Marga. The natural and obvious conclusion of those who do not know Ananda Marga will be that Ananda Marga is like many other societies of idealists and moralists who aim to establish a classless society.

Are Ghosts Hallucinations?

Corrections:

2. See the paragraph beginning “And what is a negative hallucination?”:

INCORRECT

. . . there is no defect in the ocular vision, but due to excessive pressure of the thought-waves – we say “auto-suggestion” – the ocular vision becomes negative; that is, the thought-waves do not want to see something which is actually present in the ocular vision.

CORRECT

. . . there is no defect in optical vision, but the ocular vision becomes negative due to excessive pressure of thought-waves. We say “auto-suggestion”. The thought-wave doesn't want to see something which is actually present as per optical vision.

INCORRECT

. . . so that due to the defective functioning of the nerve cells one sees something which is not present, or does not see something which is actually physically present.

11. See the paragraph beginning “So we see that what we call a ‘ghost' ”:

INCORRECT

So we see that what we call a “ghost” is not always a positive or a negative hallucination, nor is it always a siddha or a preśitamánas. In fact, we cannot prove the existence of a preśitamánas or siddha, and insofar as positive hallucination is concerned, it does not have any actual existence at all. If you see a positive hallucination, it is a mental disease.

If anything of this sort (preśitamánas or luminous body) comes before you, there is only one remedy to remove it: that is, . . .

CORRECT

So here ghosts are not always positive hallucinations, and really speaking, those luminous bodies are not a creation of positive hallucination. And those recreated minds, those preśitamánasas, are not ghosts, either. Luminous bodies are not ghosts. Then what is a ghost? Positive hallucinations, creations of positive hallucination, are ghosts. And they are of human creation, so actually there is no ghost. Now, suppose due to positive hallucination, or due to coming in contact with those luminous bodies, or due to coming in contact with those recreated minds, one thinks that it's a ghost, then what is the medicine? What is the psychic medicine for such a disease?

In the case of a positive hallucination, we may say it is a sort of disease, but in case of luminous bodies, or recreated minds, it is not disease, because it is something physico-psychic – it is not disease. But in the case of a psychic disease or when one gets afraid while coming in contact with those luminous bodies or recreated minds, those preśitamánasas, what is the medicine? The medicine is, . . .

Corrections:

See the first paragraph:

INCORRECT

The eastern part of Howrah, Hooghly and Burdwan Districts and the northern portion of Ghatal Subdivision of Midnapur District in eastern Ráŕh was once the kingdom Bhurishrestha(1). Today we colloquially call it Bhurshut. The capital Garh Mandaram was located where the Amurda River, which originates from Sumudrabandh Lake, converges with the Damodar.

In those days, the rulers of Bengal struggled hard to maintain their independence . . .

Compartmentalized Democracy

Corrections:

See the last two paragraphs:

INCORRECT

Finally, for the proper utilization of the public exchequer, the independence of the audit department too, is a must. The auditor general should be independent of the sceptre of the president or the prime minister. Only an independent audit de partment can keep proper accounts of every department.

Thus, there should be four compartments in a properly constituted democracy – legislature, executive, judiciary and public exchequer – and all of them should be independent from one another. But in such a situation there is still the possibility of injustice and exploitation . . .

CORRECT

Finally, for the proper utilization of the nation's revenue and to ensure that every paisa is spent on building up the nation, it is extremely important that the audit branch as well be independent. The auditor general should be independent of the president. Only the independence of the auditor general can ensure that this branch will be able to fearlessly check the accounts of every other branch. Thus it should be a separate administrative branch of government, and independent of the party holding a majority.

All the four branches mentioned above should be given the scope to function independently. Thus there will be four compartments. No compartment will function under another.

But in such a situation there is still the possibility of injustice and exploitation . . .

3. See the paragraph beginning “Now Samyak Smrti is remembering”:

INCORRECT

See the paragraph beginning “Now, these microvita move”:

See the paragraph beginning “Mádhava” – in the old Saḿskrta language”:

INCORRECT

“Mádhava” – in the old Saḿskrta language the word “Má” had three meanings, three interpretations.

(“Má” is also modern Bengali and modern Hindi. Its root is “Mátá”. The Saḿskrta word is “Mátr”; the old Saḿskrta word is “Mátr” which means “mother”. “Matr”, “Mater”, “Mothier” – “mother”.)

But here “Má” is a Saḿskrta word, and for “mother” the Saḿskrta word is “Mátr”. The modern Hindi-Bengali word for mother is “Má”, but here “Má” is a Saḿskrta word, old Saḿskrta. 15,000 years ago that language was the first language.

One meaning is “no”. For example, “Don't go” is “má gaccha.” “Gaccha” means “go” and “Má” means “not”. The meaning is “no”. The second meaning is “tongue.” The third meaning is “Prakrti”. These are the three meanings.

But when the force of rajoguńa is spent, then tamoguńa predominates every moment. The flower gradually withers and fades, the glow of sattva wanes and eventually, the all-devouring hunger of tamoguńa transforms it into a state of crudeness, that is to say, it dies.

2. See the paragraph beginning “So long as the gram does not germinate”:

INCORRECT

Shiva – Both Severe and Tender

Corrections:

See the paragraph beginning “So the people of those days”:

INCORRECT

So the people of those days were acquainted with chanda, but not with the musical sura-saptaka [the Oriental octave]. After close observation, Shiva concluded that the sounds produced by various birds and animals maintain a harmonious adjustment with the undulations of the sound waves of the universe. The eighth step, the eighth note, of this harmony comes closest of all to the first note.

Based on the sounds of the seven creatures, Shiva evolved the seven musical notes. This musical sura-saptaka, which made the rhythm sweeter and more graceful, includes the sounds of śad́aja [peacock], rśabha [ox], gándhára [goat], madhyama [horse], paiṋcama [cuckoo], dhaevata [ass] and niśáda [elephant]. By taking the initials of the seven sounds – sá from śad́aja, re from rśabha, gá from gándhára, má from madhyama, pá from paiṋcama, dhá from dhaevata and ni from niśáda, Shiva made the musical octave sá-re-gá-má-pá-dhá-ni-sá. At the eighth step, the first sound of the octave is repeated, although in a different scale. In those regions of the world where the influence of Shiva was less, the eighth note of the musical scale is slightly different from the first.

Thus through permutation and combination, endless varieties of sound can be produced. So in Western music, we find do-re-mi-fa-sol-la-ti-do: in other words, “do” is repeated at the end of the scale. That is why, instead of sura-saptaka [literally, “seven notes”] Western musicians call the scale “octave.”*

See (27)(d):

INCORRECT

d) Only people established in Yama-Niyama deserve your support; in case of more than one such person, vote for the best worker.

Rather than support an incompetent person, it is better not to exercise one's franchise because to invest an incompetent person with power means to push society towards destruction knowingly and deliberately.

CORRECT

d) Only people established in Yama-Niyama are worthy of your support; in case of more than one such person, vote for the best worker.

Rather than support an unworthy person, it is better not to exercise one's franchise because to invest an unworthy person with power means to push society towards destruction knowingly and deliberately.

INCORRECT

CORRECT

[B:] The root of “nature” is natus. And natur means “following a particular course of action”. Nate means “birth”. The word was originally Greek. “Native” means “born in that particular space”. It comes from the word nate, N-A-T-E. “Conation” – “born at the same time”. “Co” – nate + “ional”.

INCORRECT

"The Nectar Beyond Máyá" 13 August 1978 Patna

This discourse was given by Baba in two languages: Hindi and English. The Tiljala Publishers rewrote the entire discourse, removing Baba's own original words. Both the Hindi and English editions are a mere summary of what Baba actually said. And there are multiple sections in the English text which Baba did not state at all in this discourse. These sections were simply added by our Tiljala Publishers. Compare the sound file below with what the Tiljala Publishers printed in Ananda Vacanamrtam part 1, chapter eight.

Definition of Theist and Atheist

In this historic discourse from 1979, Baba clearly outlines the requisite factors that define who is a theist, i.e. who is a believer in God. A theist is one who accepts: 1. Jiivatma (unit consciousness), 2. Paramatama (supreme consciousness), 3. Veda (spiritual knowledge of how the jiivatma moves towards Paramatma). Yet in reference to these three factors, the Tiljala Publishers have reprinted a 1958 discourse in Ananda Marga Philosophy in a Nutshell part 3 (1988, Question & Answer discourse), in which it is written that "Those who believe in any one of them may be called theists." Due to their negligence and gross error, the Publications team makes it look like Ananda Marga philosophy is by definition self-contradictory.

Listen to Bábá's Voice: Passage Completely Distorted in SS19-7

The discourse “Knowledge and Progress”, was given in Hindi, but for Bengalization purposes the Tiljala Publishers (TP) translated the original Hindi into Bengali and then from Bengali into English – thereby changing countless words and distorting the overall meaning. This passage was omitted by the T. Publishers and rewritten in their own words, leaving out most of the content. Compare the audio passage with the same section in Subháśita Saḿgraha Part 19, Tiljala, 1992. For more on this point, see this posting. And for further detail on the matter, see this posting.
