Baba
Price gouging by B group
Namaskar,
One group recently came out with a book, “Natural Medicine”, that they are selling at an exorbitant price - RS1,100. This goes against the practice and spirit of AM teachings in a multitude of ways:
(A) First in foremost, in their eyes, this book became a cash cow (price gouging) by selling it for RS1,100. This is just profiteering just like capitalists do.
(B) They forgot the fundamental spirit that AM books are for propagating Baba’s dharmic teachings for the welfare of the society.
(C) Often they create a book wherein they merely collected previously published discourses. And that may be the case here as well, or perhaps they just made minor updates. Everyone will have to be alert about this.
Verily, for all these reasons and more, it is most shameful that Tiljala Publications / B group is selling the book at this outrageous price: RS1,100.
(D) Those who desperately need this information are the elderly and the sick and distressed, and only an opportunist can think to exploit such populations wherein they are forced to purchase it due to pressure of circumstance.

Ananda Marga philosophy states, “A discriminating judgement will term such so-called...dealers or pot-boilers, instead of creators of literature, for they are not moving along the path of benevolence. Their business outlook merely views society as the buyers of their books.” (1)
In Him,
Mahitos’a
Here below is the book that B group is selling at the millionaire price.
