Baba
Namaskar,
In his book, “Divyambhuti” (Hindi Edition) Parmeshvarananda has written on the 4th line of page 53 (appended below) that the colour of the child Lord Krishna was "blue" [i.e. Indian black].
Baba has created Ananda Marga to save the society from the demonic noose of dogma. But unfortunately, in our Ananda Marga still some of our avadhutas and purodhas are propagating those rotten religious Hindu dogmas. And that is what happened with Parmeshvarananda’s book with regards to the skin complexion of Lord Krsna.
Lord Krsna was not blue / black
Now see here how Baba has set the record straight and opposed the prevailing Hindu dogma that Dada Parmeshvarananda is propagating.
Ananda Marga philosophy states, "The complexion of the historical Krs'n'a who lived in Dva'para Yuga was not black." (1)
So Ananda Marga philosophy teaches us that Lord Krsna was not black in color. But Dada Parmeshvarananda is propagating just opposite to what Baba says and instead embracing the prevailing Hindu dogma that Lord Krsna was of black or dark complexion.
If you see Dada Parmeshvarananda’s’ writing in his book he depicts Lord Krsna as shown in the below dogmatic image, i..e blue or Indian black. But according to Baba, Lord Krsna’s was complexion was fair. So here Parmeshvarananda is propagating something totally false in his book. We request for the sake Baba’s teachings that Parmeshvarananda should fix his own book and accept the mistake publicly so others can also correct their copy.
Two options
So either (a) Parmeshvarananda either forgot what he saw or (b) he did not see anything and made it up based on Indian dogma.
If he forgot he would not have written anyting wrong if he would have checked Baba’s discourses but instead Parmeshvarananda relied on the prevailing Hindu dogma.
But in so many demonstrations Baba told the veracity and that is why in some AMPS books it says Krsna is of fair complexion.
Conclusion
Unfortunately all this is happening because our “great” Wts and purodhas do not read Baba’s books / literature; rather they devour junk and extravaganza from various dogmatic magazines and pseudo-culture from the internet. If they take the matter seriously and read Ananda Marga books these types of incidents will never happen. This whole episode of propagating Hindu dogma in the name of AM is disgraceful.
We should remember how these great purodhas took the vow before Sadguru Baba to propagate Ananda Marga ideals, but instead they are doing the exact opposite. It is a very painful situation. If we are not going to study Baba’s literature then who is going to study it and guide the society accordingly. It is our duty not to propagate Hindu religious discarded dogma but AM bhagavad dharma.
in Him,
K. Ramalingam
