Good people
Namaskar.
Our Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha has created schools, medical clinics, children’s homes, and various other social service projects. This is commonly known. The greater need in this moment is to keep our eyes fixed on how and why our AMPS is so unique, and why Taraka Brahma has come for the purpose of propounding Ananda Marga ideology.
The key point that differentiates Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha from all those religious / spiritual institutions is that our teachings are based on a perfect philosophy given by Sadguru. The teachings of Ananda Marga are dogma-free, while all those religious groups etc suffer from a dogma-dominated approach.

Subhasita Samgraha states, "Ananda Marga alone is dharma and all the rest are sectisms." (1)
The need of the day is to create an organisation that properly reflects the spirit of Sadguru Baba’s sublime teachings – i.e. Ananda Marga ideology.
Protect the helpless & fight against all evil persons
So when (a) some children’s home kids are beaten, and (b) some of our lands are being sold, and (c) some Dadas and Didis are having boyfriends and girlfriends, and (d) some AMPS resources are being siphoned by Wts to their own laokik families, and (e) when Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha is wrought with so many problems, then in this situation what is to be done?
Some of our fellow brothers and sisters say that we should keep quiet and be like Gandhian monkeys. While others proclaim that our organisational garbage should be collected in one room - and never released - otherwise people will know that that trash is from our house (ie AMPS). Such persons think that keeping our sins hidden is the solution. On these points over the last 30 years endless discussion has occurred - and still continues.
Now the only way is to see what our Sadguru Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji says. Should we hide our organisational garbage or invite the attention of important margii brothers and sisters to participate in cleaning it.

Ananda Marga ideology states, “The characteristic of good people is to fight against injustice, to firmly adhere to truth and righteousness, to protect the helpless and fight against all evil persons. Those who are merely simple and are of a meek and goody-goody nature are not good people.” (2)
Ananda Marga ideology states, "From the social or human viewpoint, everybody has the right to correct the behaviour of everyone else. This is the birthright of every human being. No scholar can dispute the right of people to correct the shortcomings of those with whom they come in contact. The recognition of this right is indispensable for the health of society. " (3)
In Him,
Susama’

Some think we should sit back and write only about the glory of how many schools we have created. But that will not do. Now is the moment to point out the wrongs in order to bring our organisation onto the right track. Those who love Baba and His divine teachings will throw themselves wholly in this endeavour.
Ananda Marga philosophy guides us, “The characteristic of good people is to fight against injustice, to firmly adhere to truth and righteousness, to protect the helpless and fight against all evil persons. Those who are merely simple and are of a meek and goody-goody nature are not good people.” (4)
What is the way out
Even then some people only want to highlight our Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha service projects in order to show our great work for humanity. They think that by this way the negative and sinful dealings of AMPS can be overlooked and ignored. But we have to remember that such types of service projects are not new or unique per se. Those works do not differentiate us from the countless do-gooder organisations.
Indeed, almost every religion and spiritual organisation has been involved in those types of service projects long before Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha came into existence in 1955. So if that was all our AMPS had to offer, then what was the need to even form this organisation – because already such works were going on. And at present those projects by the various religions are more substantial than what we are doing in Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha.

So to sit back and proclaim how our schools and projects are so good for society is not the answer. Rather the unique thing that has to be brought to the fore is that what our Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha has to offer is our complete and dharmic way of life - free from dogma. And if that is undermined by dark and negative dealings then really we have lost our way. The solution then is to put a halt to those misdeeds by pointing out those wrongs. Then and only then can our AMPS become the truly dharmic organisation that it was designed to be.

Purport:
Parama Purusa, this magnificent dawn of Your auspicious birthday, Ananda Purnima, is saturated with Your divine effulgence and blissful smile – please may it remain so up to eternity. Baba, let Your spiritual vibration emanate in the far distant sky, as well as in the deepest corner of my heart, remain forever.
My Parama Purusa, since ages I have been waiting in the hope of Your holy advent. Today, with Your endless love, You have fulfilled my longing. Your infinite compassion has satisfied the yearning of my heart. Baba, please let this showering of Your karun'a' continue to flow, age after age, forever into the future.
My Lord, Baba, it was known to me that You reside always in my psychic domain. Now You have graciously taken form in Your supreme role and grandeur of Mahasambhuti. Your remaining in my heart is the pulsation of my existence. Because You are, I am. By Your cosmic grace, I understand that this unfolding liila of Yours is interminable and endless.
By Your mercy this dawn of Your auspicious birthday is saturated with brilliance and smiling in bliss. Baba, You are so gracious; You are the most loving One...

Ananda Marga philosophy states, "The effort to attain liberation from economic bondage, political slavery and all sorts of social dependence in the physical world, is the liberation from staticity in the crude world. In order to attain liberation from worldly bondages of this sort, human beings will have to make conscious efforts.”
“If a certain country is held in bondage to another country, then that subjugated country will have to wage war in order to attain liberation from the chains of slavery. That is why liberation from worldly bondages is essential for human beings. We have noticed that wherever there is worldly subservience – whether economic, political or social – the proper development of the innate qualities, or the genius of human beings, remains remote. That is why in every sphere of life liberation is necessary; liberation from the bondage of staticity is a must.” (1)

Wrong display
Note: Those who are not strict in Ista and adarsha cannot understand this topic. Strictness in Sixteen Points is needed.
Namaskar,
#1: There is one video floating around depicting Kaoshikii being performed around the world.
#2: As per Baba’s system, kaoshikii (kaosikii) is to be done according to a specific system given by Baba using the Baba Nam Kevalam mantra in a particular manner to match each stage of the dance.
#3: Unfortunately, the way the video is made, it gives the wrong impression to new margiis that one should dance kaoshikii in that sound / tune.
Kindly see the below the video link.
In Him,
Radhika

(B) The above comment along with the video below has been spread out in WhatsApp group by Ac Vishuddhatmananda under Utkal Koshal Samaj AM.
(C) As far as I recall Ac Rameshvarananda was suggested by one senior margii Biranchi Narayan Ray to introduce a tune composed by him for kaoshik dance and give this as proposal to Baba. Baba outrightly rejected this proposal.
In Him,

Unique quality of thinkingAnanda Marga ideology guides us, "That is, if one's object of thought is a thief, what will happen? What is the psychic process? When you think something, your mind is then and there divided into two parts. One subjective part, another is objective counterpart. And when you are thinking of a bad man, or a thief, what will happen? The objective counterpart of your mind will take the form of that thief, will take the form of that bad man, and slowly what will happen? Your subjective counterpart of the mind, that is, seer portion of the mind---one portion is seer and another portion is seeing. So, seer portion of the mind will be slowly converted into that bad man, and slowly you will become a bad man. So a bad man must not be your object of ideation, should not be your object of meditation. If you think of a bad man, you will become a bad man."
"You know, there is a particular insect in India, it is called pecasha-kiit'a. It kills cockroaches. You know the cockroach, that red insect? Yes, it kills cockroach. And cockroaches are very much afraid of that insect. So when a cockroach sees that insect, that insect becomes its object of ideation; that is, its objective counterpart of the mind takes the form of---what? Cockroach. So what does happen? Slowly the body of the cockroach is converted into the body of that pecasha-kiit'a. That is, cockroach itself is converted into the form of its killer." (1)

How to clean nasal passages
Ananda Marga Caryacarya says, "Dhaotii: Immediately after Nasapana, at a time when your stomach is empty and you are washing your face, the throat should be cleaned with the middle finger of the right hand, inserting it as far as possible." (1)
Since the practice of nasapana is required in order to practice dhaotii, here following is a reminder about that:
Ananda Marga Caryacarya says, "Nasapana: Draw in clean water through the nostrils and pass it out through the mouth. This water may be swallowed, but it is better to spit it out." (2)
