River Ganges dogma
Everyone should be aware about the dogma that is brewing:
(a) The bhukti pradhana of North Bihar has declared that on Ananda Purnima there will be a program to take a holy dip in the sanctified Ganges river. Please see the article appended below.
(b) As everyone is aware, bathing in a clean river is ok, but subscribing to the so-called holy river notion and propagating that the Ganges is a holy river is just an old dogma and against Ananda Marga teachings.

Ananda Marga ideology states, "Some people consider it propitious to have a holy dip in the Ganges on certain auspicious days. Other people think that by standing knee-deep in water in the winter season they will attain virtue. It is sheer nonsense to expect emancipation in this way." (1)
Ananda Marga philosophy states, "You must have reverence for the Ganges, as the land in north India has been made fertile by its waters. But there cannot be any puńya produced from its water – salvation cannot be obtained from it." (2)
in Him,
Rajgopal
