Some were befooled

Baba

Some were befooled

Namaskar,

A few days back Ananda Purnima was celebrated around the globe. Some groups circulated Fake Ananda Vaniis and another group circulated a true Ananda Vanii. It is the dharmic tradition that a true Ananda Vanii should be recited on Ananda Purnima. But unfortunately some could not get opportunity to recite an original and true Ananda Vanii. It was not their fault. They were misguided.

With sincerity and bhakti they reached the allocated place and recited a Fake Ananda Vanii. By that way they were befooled. And in result they could not get the benefit of a true Ananda Vanii. You can imagine that just as Fake medicines do not cure the problem. Similarly how could Fake Ananda Vaniis be as beneficial as true Ananda Vaniis.


Diagnosis

The next question arises: How to reach the conclusion whether I recited a Fake Ananda Vanii or a true Ananda Vanii on that day. Was a fake or true vanii used at the Ananda Purnima program I attended? The answer is very clear. Here are a few steps how to reach the conclusion.

Following is an example of a Fake Ananda Vanii.

Fake Ánanda Vánii

“Seek Him within with earnest zeal, with sincerity and love. Then that glittering Entity will emerge within your heart with Its Supreme Effulgence.”

Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji

Deception

If you recited this on the occasion of Ananda Purnima, then sadly you missed the opportunity and you were duped. But there is a way to gain the benefit. You can read a true Ananda Vanii. More about this is shared below. After all it was not the fault of the participants; it was the fault of the organisers. They dragged you in the direction to recite Fake Ananda Vaniis.

Next comes why it is fake. Here are the reasons:
(a)  True Ananda Vaniis have a number and this does not.
(b) True Ananda Vanii are available in the Ananda Vanii collection book whereas Fake Ananda Vaniis are not in the book.
(c) There is no reference on the Fake Ananda Vanii. The true Ananda Vaniis always have a number reference.
(d) Spreading Fake Ananda Vanii is deception.


Lost its strength and became too diluted

Another dogma is also involved here. The top one on the page is in Bangla. Why is it dogma? Because this line is from a Hindi discourse. The original was in Hindi then it was translated to Bangla and from that Bangla it was translated to English and from English into various languages. So what you recited is a translation of a translation, of a translation, of a translation etc. It lost its strength and became too diluted. First what they recited is not an Ananda Vanii; it is not for Ananda Vanii recitals. And secondly it is too watered down. Then you can imagine how much benefit you could get. 

If by mistake you recited this Fake Ananda Vanii then you missed the opportunity. But don’t worry. To recover that as soon as possible, you can find a true Ananda Vanii and recite it at least three times.

Conclusion

Ananda Punima comes once in a year. And that day a true Ananda Vanii should be recited. Unfortunately some selfish people who do not have reverence for Guru started manufacturing their own Fake Ananda Vaniis. Worst of all is that they are not revealing the truth. Rather they are misguiding sadhakas to recite the fake one. It is so preposterous. If they want to recite it they should not say it is an Ananda vanii, just they should say it is a fake Ananda Vanii and they want to recite it.

Now you are aware of the situation and in future it is the duty of sincere disciples of Baba to ensure that a true Ananda vanii is read. Find out and dig down deeper and investigate if what you are going to recite is in the Ananda Vanii book or not. And make everyone aware about this fake Ananda vanii episode.

Namaskar.
In Him,
Tarakanath

If you need a true Ananda Vanii write us.

Ananda Marga ideology guides us, “Among so many people in our human society, very few get the opportunity to acquire spiritual knowledge. And among these, a still smaller percentage get the chance to undergo practical training. Why? Because the science is rare, the aspirants are rarer, and the teachers are rarer still.” (1)
