O' Parama Purusa, this magnificent dawn of Your auspicious birthday, Ananda Purnima, is saturated with Your divine effulgence and blissful smile – please may it remain so up to eternity.

CONSPIRACY THEORY

ON BABA'S YEAR OF BIRTH DEBUNKED



Preview:
1. Some conspiracy theories claim Baba's birth year as 1922.
2. Birthday celebrations for Baba in 1971 were marked as the 50th Ananda Purnima.
3. Baba clearly accepted 1921 as the year of His birth.
4. For proof, please see these downloadable documents (as explained below).
5. Those conspiracy theories about the 1922 birth are bogus.
6. This is a stand-alone issue so bear with the repetition in this letter.


Namaskar,
Some have come up with the notion that Baba was actually born in 1922. They believe the conspiracy theory of the 1922 birth, but that does not have any merit because Baba Himself has accepted 1921.

To debunk their conspiracy theory, herein are three proofs. Please see the various downloads on our blog post (link appended below).

(1) The Ananda Vanii (English) from that occasion of Ananda Purnima 1971 is titled in the Baba biography publication as the 50th Ananda Purnima.

(2) In the Ananda Duta magazine (Hindi), the Ananda Vanii is written as 9th May 1971, the 50th Ananda Purnima (birthday) of Baba.

(3) On page 16 of the approved Baba biography book published in 1971 it states, "Fifty years back on this day simultaneously with the rising of the sun a boy was born in Jamalpur, a small town in Bihar."

So when the all-knowing Sadguru Baba Himself accepted the public celebration of His 50th birthday in 1971, then it is unquestionably clear beyond any doubt that the actual year of His birth was 1921 - not 1922.

These downloadable documents on our blog (See Note 1) stand as proof that Baba’s 50th birthday was celebrated on Ananda Purnima in 1971. Various magazines printed their special issues.

Here is more about this.


BIG CELEBRATION WITH POMP AND SHOW

1971 50TH ANANDA PURNIMA

In 1971, Baba’s 50th birthday was widely celebrated and honoured. Paid announcements and advertisements were placed in the newspapers. Bold headlines declaring Baba’s 50th birthday covered our Ananda Marga magazines. And a biography book of Baba was published. In that book it clearly states that Ananda Purnima 1971 is the 50th anniversary of Baba’s birth.

In the download section below please find a scan of the Ananda Purnima Ananda Vanii of 1971 from a book about Baba where it is noted: “50th Ananda Purnima.”  Also find the scan that states, "Fifty years back on this day simultaneously with the rising of the sun a boy was born in Jamalpur, a small town in Bihar."

As His disciples we must understand that Baba Himself accepted all these arrangements and honourings. He clearly accepted that 1971 Ananda Purnima marked His 50th birthday and He allowed everyone to plan for this occasion with great cheer and merriment.

So in 1971 Baba turned 50 years of age.


THE MATH IS VERY CLEAR:

HE WAS BORN IN 1921

By simple mathematics calculation we can understand that Baba was born in 1921. Because 1971 minus 50 equals 1921.

And indeed in all official AMPS records, 1921 is noted as the year of Baba’s birth.


THEIR CONSPIRACY THEORY IS BOGUS:

BABA HIMSELF ACCEPTED 1921 AS THE YEAR OF HIS BIRTH

Some have come up with the notion that Baba was actually born in 1922. But this is just their mistaken proposal. They can raise as many tales as they wish but their overall premise is wrong.

Because when the all-knowing Sadguru Baba Himself accepted the public celebration of His 50th birthday in 1971, then it is unquestionably clear beyond any doubt that the actual year of His birth was 1921. It is an open and shut case. To go against this is to go against Guru.

Some believe the conspiracy theory of the 1922 birth, but that does not have any merit because Baba Himself has accepted 1921.

To debunk their conspiracy theory, herein are three proofs. Please see the various downloads as explained in note 1 below the signature.

Here is that Ananda Vanii from that occasion. And this same Ananda Vanii from 1971 is marked in the downloadable publications - in English & Hindi - as the 50th Ananda Purnima.

“People have great expectations from their fellow human beings. In order to fulfil those expectations, go on working without the least respite. Remember that a healthy human society, free from exploitation, hatred and malice, must be built. In this great task, the blessings of Parama Puruśa are sure to be with you. ” (Ánanda Púrńimá 1971 - 50th Ananda Purnima)

Namaskar,
In Him,
Gaorii
