Gay marriage is against AM ideals
Namaskar,
Ananda Marga is based on bhagavad dharma. That is why it is said that Ananda Marga is a man-making mission. There are various animalistic activities promoted in the general society which are harmful for the all-around development of human beings that are not supported by AM ideology due to their lowly nature. Those things degrade the mind.
Here is one such example of animalistic relations: LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender). In the following teachings, Baba is clearly showing that Ananda Marga promotes marriages between males and females. With that principle, such marriages like LGBT etc have no place in Ananda Marga way of life. LGBT martial relations are detrimental for human society.
AM marriage: between boy and the girl only - 1
Ananda Marga philosophy states, “In the manner prescribed for marriage in our Marga, both the boy and the girl have to take equal responsibility. Women and men are considered on the same footing, and there is no question of men considering themselves superior to women.” (1)
Ananda Marga Caryacarya states, “If the boy and the girl settle their marriage themselves, it is proper for the guardians to give their consent. In case the guardians feel that the consequences of such a marriage will be harmful, they may ask the boy and the girl to reconsider their decision.” (2)
AM marriage between male & female only
Ananda Marga Caryacarya guides us, “Male members of the Marga can marry females outside the Marga, but it will be better to marry a female member of the Marga to a male member of the Marga, as far as possible.” (3)
Ananda Marga Caryacarya says, “The bride and the bridegroom, dressed in neat and appropriate clothing, will enter the marriage hall.” (4)
AM marriage: between boy and the girl only - 2
Ananda Marga Caryacarya says, “The guardians should not consider the caste or nationality of the bride and bridegroom, but they must consider the family and the merits and demerits of the two. The guardians, before fixing the marriage, will seek the opinions of the bride and the bridegroom and proceed accordingly.” (5)
Ananda Marga Caryacarya says, “In the case of arranged marriages, the guardians should finally meet and ascertain the consent of the bride and bridegroom, and bless them, at least a day before the marriage is solemnized.” (6)
In Him,
Daya’mayii
