Namaskar,
On the path of tantra, we must maintain the sanctity of Guru’s photo. On this matter, there must not be any compromise. That is the mandate as per Caryacarya.
“You shall protect, in all respects and at all costs, the dignity of your treasures and the sanctity of your flag, of your emblem, and of the pratikrti [photo] of Márga Guru.” (Caryacarya, Part 1, Treasures of Ananda Marga)
So Guru’s photo is to be safeguarded and protected in all conditions and circumstances – without fail. On this matter, every disciples of Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji must be very strict.
See this below recent newspaper article about Ananda Purnima. Sadguru Baba’s photo was published along with an article about Him. This is not the first time this has happened. Now it is our duty to abide by Guru’s guidelines and be strict on this matter and right the course. That is our dharmic duty. Otherwise this dirty and sinful approach will be handed down to the next generation(s).
For bhaktas, Baba's photo is beautiful. Yet those who printed this photo did so in a sloppy and gross manner. Thus it is a double loss. Firstly the Baba's photo should not be publicly displayed. And secondly, they have warped the photo in such a way that Baba's face is distorted. Nobody smiles in this manner unless they have had facial reconstructive surgery or some related medical issue. This is not Baba's smile. Any true devotee can easily recognise this. They have distorted and manipulated this image. That is why it is a double tragedy, as just explained. Here is a call for action that we should educate others so this type of heinous blunder, and double sin, is not repeated. Baba's photo is beautiful and the sanctity must be maintained. The image should not be distorted nor publicly displayed
There are various newspapers and periodicals in India and around the globe that wish to print news about Ananda Marga, and, on occasion, Baba’s discourses as well; and we should support this endeavour. It is fine for our Ananda Marga schools and service projects etc to be printed in a newspaper. And no doubt, as time advances, there will be more and more requests.
The critical factor, however, is that Baba’s photo must not be printed in the newspaper along with news about Ananda Marga. We must never allow this. This is entirely wrong and we should never allow or permit such things in the future.
Why? Because newspapers get tossed on the ground, left on the train, or placed in the garbage bin etc. Plus, food gets spilled on them, dogs urinated on them, and so forth.
So we must never allow Baba’s photo to be printed in the newspaper because His photo will not be given due reverence.

In Him,

LOOK WHAT RECENTLY HAPPENED

IT IS A DOUBLE SIN:
PUBLICLY DISPLAYED AND SLOPPY WAY PHOTO IS PRINTED
