Out of 31 members ,only 3 members Ac' Sarvatmananda jee, Ac' Vijayananda jee and Ac' Sharveswarananda jee were Bengali speaking. Unanimous decision signed by Ac' Chandranath jee, was submitted to Ac' Sradhanand jee, the then PP.
Reply: Baba says that if our elders, ancestors, seniors, forefathers committed some mistake or did something wrong our duty is to rectify those wrongs. The worst thing is to continue to repeat the mistakes of those elders and ancestors etc.

Reply: Unfortunately, due to our ignorance and lack of devotion, we treat Baba as a mortal human being and commemorate His annual death ceremony like dogmatic, religious non-margis do. However, in Ananda Marga, the commemoration of an annual death ceremony is completely forbidden. We should not continue such blatant mistakes.

Reply: We should not treat Baba as a mortal human being. Baba is the Almighty Parama Puruse who is ever-present. In times of catastrophe, we cry for His help and say, “O’ Lord, please save me.” Don't we cry out for Him in this way, thinking that Baba is with us?

Reply: Due to our ignorance and lack of devotion, we treat Baba as a mortal human being and commemorate His annual death ceremony. Then we feed the entire neighborhood on the occasion of this yearly death ceremony, yet all of this is completely forbidden in Ananda Marga as it violates the code of Caryacarya.
B Jena wrote: WHY THIS CONTROVERSY? The only answer: division- 2003, Kalkotta and Ranchi administration. SOME PEOPLE FLOATED A NEW THEORY. How long people can mislead innocent devotees of BABA?

Sadguru Baba is that eternal, omnipotent Cosmic Entity. Baba is ever-present.
In Him,

Limited human capacity
Ananda Marga ideology guides us, “In this visible world you receive tanmátras in accordance with your strength and ability. When the tanmátric vibration is more powerful than your strength or capacity, you are unable to receive it. Similarly, when the vibrational momentum is more slow and slack than your power of perception, you cannot receive it either. If people whisper in a soft voice, you cannot hear them – there you become deaf. Then again, if there is a very loud noise somewhere nearby, you cannot hear that either, for your hearing has been stunned – here too you are deaf. Your system may easily endure petty mental afflictions and in that case you do not cry before people. Then when you are filled with extreme grief you become so dazed and bewildered that in this case, too, you do not cry before people. You have seen a child suddenly stops crying in the midst of intense suffering. We call it “choked in crying”, for the child is unable to endure the violent sorrowful vibrations. You can tolerate a small pain with a smiling face and people cannot detect your hurt. An intense pain stuns you into unconsciousness and then, too, people are not aware of it. You are able to utter pathetic cries of “Ah” and “Oh” only in the intervening state to embellish your plight." (1)
Note: In His above teaching, Baba is guiding us how the range of human perception is very limited. If a vibration is very subtle then we cannot detect it, such as a very quiet noise. And if the vibration is very crude and powerful, such as a temperature of 170 degrees Celsius, then we cannot tolerate it and we will die. In the true sense, the scope of the vibrations which human beings can manage is of a very narrow range.
There are so many things going on around us; there are all kinds of vibrations that we are completely unaware of. Some things we can detect with scientific instruments, but there are countless subtle things going on around that we have no clue about. The irony is that even when sitting in an isolated room a person thinks that, “Nothing is here other than me.” When in truth, so many phenomena are going on all around, wherever you are. Those are extremely subtle vibrations which you can neither see nor hear. That is why it is said that human capacity is very negligible.
