Sampurnananda fell into sewage
Namaskar,
It is well known that caste marriages run contrary to the ideological
fundamentals of our Ananda Marga teachings. Such caste marriages are
condemned by Sadguru Baba because they breed divisions, fissures, and
balkanisation in the society. Yet recently, Ac Sampurnananda conducted a
caste marriage in Tatanager.
Cowards do caste marriage
A caste marriage is when both bride and groom are of the same so-called
caste. This is against Baba's revolutionary marriage system and an
essential point for breaking the caste dogma. For decades, margiis have
bravely had revolutionary marriages. Only Baba, being the dharma Guru,
could infuse a system to tear down the caste dogma. In the past no one
could do so - not Buddha, not Shankaracarya, not anyone. And margiis
courageously followed Baba's order and did a great sacrifice by going
against the caste dogma. By Baba's grace, in a short time period the
caste dogma was broken. Baba's given revolutionary marriage system was
an instrumental factor. So it is shameful that now this recently held
marriage conducted by Sampurnananda was plunged in caste dogma.

The case of Acarya Ram Tanukji & caste marriage
Everyone knows that Family Acarya Ram Tanukji was a top lawyer in AMPS
who tried the famous court cases. So Ram Tanukji would regularly meet
with Baba for advice and counsel.
That time Ram Tanukji was also trying to arrange a marriage of his
family member, and he was explaining to everyone that he could not find a
match. In the end, Ram Tanuk arranged for a caste marriage in his
family.
As soon as that was arranged, Baba declared that He does not want to see
the face of Ram Tanukji. So Ram Tanukji was not allowed to see Baba -
just he was crying outside in despair. Baba gave guidance on the legal
cases to him via others. Ram Tanukji was not allowed inside.
This gives the clear-cut guideline that Baba is very strict on this
point of caste marriages. Even though those court cases were highly
important, Baba would not speak with the main lawyer because he
performed a caste marriage.
Caste dogma & bastard
In His teachings, Baba furthermore states that those who are followers
of caste dogma do not believe in God because every person is a child of
God. When Parama Purusa is the Father of the entire creation, then how
can there be different castes. The children of the same Father cannot be
of different caste.
Baba even states that those who follow caste dogma do not believe in the
Cosmic Father. And since they do not feel they have a Cosmic Father
then they themselves are bastards. Because those in the society who do
not believe in their father are bastards. Verily they do not have a
father and that is why they are bastards.
Ananda Marga ideology states, “दो भाई का दो जात नहीं हो सकता है | यह
common sense है | यह साधारण बुद्धि से ही मनुष्य समझेंगे, कि—एक पिता है,
दो भाई हैं, राम और श्याम; राम का एक जात, श्याम का एक जात नहीं हो सकता है
| कभी नहीं हो सकता है | कोई अगर बोले कि—राम और श्याम दो अलग जात हैं, तो
बाप भी दो हो गए तब | तब वह तो बाप को नहीं मानता है |
[हँसी]
आँऽ ? जो बाप को नहीं मानता है, वह तो जारज [bastard] है | तो, जो बाप को मानते हैं, परमपिता को मानते हैं, वे जात नहीं मानेंगे |
[मार्गी लोग---"बाबा, बाबा, बाबा !"]
जो परमात्मा को मानते हैं, जो धार्मिक हैं, उनके पास जात नहीं है |” (1) (V28-19, GD 2 January 1970 Patna)
Why would Sampurnananda do this?
It is most tragic and shocking that certain Dadas travel great distances
to attend dogmatic caste marriages. Each and every aspect of their life
is to be an expression of the ideological fundamentals as given by Guru
Lord Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji. They know that caste marriages are
wholly forbidden in Ananda Marga Pracaraka Samgha. We do not in any way
subscribe to the caste dogma. So it is absolutely mind-boggling that
Sampurnananda conducted this caste marriage and that other Wt Dadas also
attended.
Our Dadas should not lend their support in any way for such a marriage
that is unideological and based on caste dogma. So it is very perplexing
why some Dadas are willing to perform and attend caste marriages when
such marriages are such a blatant contravention of Baba's teachings and
mandates. Indeed, why would any Dada / Wt be eager to attend?

Caste marriages not allowed in AMPS
In Baba’s below Hindi teaching, He is speaking out against the dogma of caste marriages.
Ananda Marga ideology states, “अधिक से अधिक revolutionary marriage करा
लो | और जो हिम्मतवार लड़के हैं, वे, उनके guardian, उनके माता; वे लोग
क्या करें ? जात-पाँत को लात से ख़त्म कर दो, चूर-चूर कर दो | एक दल, एक
मज़बूत समाज बना लो | और हम लोगों को दुनिया के कोने-कोने में आनन्दमार्ग
का पैगाम पहुँचा देना है | इसलिए अधिक से अधिक सङ्ख्या में whole timer
worker की भी जरूरत है | कोई whole timer worker बनो | कोई revolutionary
marriage करके समाज को मज़बूत बना दो |” (2) (NP (Not Printed), 1/14/1984 Patna)
Ananda Marga ideology states, “तुम लोग dogma के ख़िलाफ़ सङ्ग्राम करते
रहोगे | केवल—मुँह से बोलोगे कि dogma ख़राब है—सो नहीं | अपने करके दिखला
दोगे कि—तुम dogma को नापसन्द करते हो |
हम तो सबसे कहेंगे कि हम लोगों को जल्द से जल्द समाज बना लेना है | और,
दुनिया में सर्वत्र आनन्दमार्ग का प्रचार और-ज़ोरदार करना है | समाज बनाना
है, इसलिए अधिक से अधिक revolutionary marriage चाहिए | …
जो लोग guardian हो, माता-पिता हो, अपने बटे-बेटी को revolutionary marriage करके दिखला दो कि—तुम dogma के ख़िलाफ़ हो |
घबड़ाओ नहीं, किसी से डरो नहीं | अपने वैयष्टिक प्रयास से अगर नहीं हुआ,
सामूहिक प्रयास से करो | घबड़ाने की कोई बात नहीं है | और हम तोरा सिनी रो
साथ छियो |”

Namaskar,

Note: According to Ananda Marga teachings, casteism and racism are just like sewage.
Just donkey marriage nothing more
The aforementioned marriage conducted in Tatanagar is nothing but a
donkey marriage. Superficially, they have everything ready in terms of
proper outfits and acaryas on hand etc, but upon closer examination the
foundations of this marriage are completely bogus as it is wrapped up in
caste dogma etc and contravenes the tenets of Ananda Marga. On the
outside it looks like Ananda Marga, but in reality it is not Ananda
Marga. That is what is meant by donkey.
It is just like if one is doing sadhana sitting in a very erect position
hoping that someone will notice him in sadhana and be impressed. But
internally, that "meditator" is just thinking about himself, not Parama
Purusa. So this is not real sadhana; it is just donkey sadhana. It looks
like sadhana but on closer look it is clear it is just donkey sadhana.
Same is the case with the aforementioned marriage in Tatanagar To the
untrained eye and non-sadhaka, it may look like an Ananda Marga
marriage, but to every sincere Ananda Margii it is evident that this is
just a donkey marriage.

Silent action: Wts not up to the mark
Ananda Marga ideology states, "If the conduct of senior persons, or
táttvikas or ácárya/ás or avadhút/ikás, goes against the Sixteen Points,
then you should take silent action. What is silent action? Suppose
there is an ácárya/á who delivers sermons about the dos and don’ts, and
issues different decrees. But suppose he or she does something which
merits criticism by society – suppose, for example, that he or she
secretly investigates the caste of the potential marriage partner for
his/her son or daughter. If this happens, it will be the duty of the
Acárya or Avadhúta or Táttvika Board to take suitable action. However,
it will take time to initiate the action, because facts, evidence and
many other things are needed. Until an action based on facts and
evidence is taken, you can take silent action against the party." (4)
