== PROOF OF DISTORTION IN NEW BOOK: AV 11-12 (2008) ==
~ Part 3 ~
Note: The links to the first two letters in this series appear below for

Namaskar,
"Meticulous efforts were made to authenticate all discourses of part
12." And then they go on to say that they checked everything, wherever
possible, using the original cassette.
These words are printed in the 'Publisher's Note' of the brand-new 2008
edition of Ananda Vacanamrtam 11-12. Such is the high-sounding,
definitive proclamation given by the Tiljala Publications Department.
And if the above were true, then what great news it would really be.
Then two things would result:
(1) We could all have implicit trust and faith in the Tiljala
Publications Department and believe that really they are properly
rendering and doing justice to Baba's divine discourses.
(2) The books we buy would really be proper; such publications would
accurately represent Baba's original words.
Unfortunately, the above statement--"Meticulous efforts were made to
authenticate all discourses of part 12"-- is not at all true. Because if
it were true, then there would not be piles and piles of easily
correctable errors in each and every discourse. Yet that is what we see:
Gross errors on every page.
Here in this letter is more clear-cut proof how the 2008 edition of
Ananda Vacanamrtam part 11-12 is laced with countless cases of distortion.
Best will be if nobody buys this book in protest. That will force them
to either make the books proper or release the cassettes so more capable
people can take up the job. Because our collective goal, of course, is
not to blame anyone per se, but rather to ensure our AM books are
pristine and pure.
LET US REMEMBER, LET US NEVER FORGET
Let us remember, let us never forget, that the chieftain behind the
Tiljala Publications team is the very same person who: (a) Falsely
inserted the phrase 'Translated from the Original Bengali' into so many
books, (b) invented the Fake Ananda Vaniis, (c) intentionally deleted
the paragraph about margii rights from the AM Revolution discourse, (d)
made the Fake BP Manual (1997), (e) injected so many incidents of
Bangalisation, and (f) did so many other obscene distortions to AM.
Such is Sarvatmananda's known history.
And now, to try and erase the above from the minds of the people, the
Tiljala Publications team is posturing in such as way as to portray
themselves as being the real well-wishers of AM books and Baba's
teachings. As if they are going to preserve everything perfectly for
ages and ages.
However, to do great work in AM, it demands sincerity and earnestness,
and not just a superficial desire to show oneself as being great.
ONE OF THE MAIN THEMES OF BABA'S TOUR
As we know, most of the discourses in Ananda Vacanamrtam part 12 were
given in English during Baba's historic tour through Europe in 1979.
We also know that much of the western world has been trapped under the
dogma of Christianity which has infused a very negative 'sinner's
psychology' unto the people. The entire Christian world believes that
they have been born in sin. And they have imposed this fear complex upon
hundreds of millions of people, even upon atheists and agnostic. That is
the great gift-- i.e. the awful dogma-- of Christianity.
To save the people and undo that dogma, on Baba's historic tour, He
beautifully addresses this issue and assures everyone again and again
that we have a relationship of love and affection with the Supreme
Father, and one must not think that 'I am a sinner, I am a sinner'.
CLEAR CUT DISTORTIONS FROM AV 11-12 (2008)
Now let's take a look at some of the very basic and fundamental errors
from two published discourses of AV-12: 'The Starting Point and the Last
Point', and 'The Only Cult'.
For instance, here are some clear cut errors from the published
discourse, 'The Starting Point and the Last Point'.
[1] THE TILJALA TEAM WRONGLY PRINTED:
"...if you do not obey Him you will go to Hell".
But that is not at all what Baba spoke.
In this section Baba is clearly telling that certain dogmatic religions
project a fear complex on the people and their scriptures send a
menacing message.
BABA ACTUALLY SPOKE:
"...if you do not do it you will go to Hell."
So here the "it" refers to what those dogmatic scriptures say to do. And
Baba goes on to say that "these scriptures are the worst enemy of human
society". But the Tiljala Publications crew printed something different.
Despite, their "meticulous efforts", the Tiljala Publications team could
not properly convey what Baba spoke. And instead, they invented their
own words, which do not at all sound like what Baba spoke, and distorted
Baba's discourse by wrongly printing, "...if you do not obey Him you
will go to Hell".
MORE CLEAR-CUT DISTORTIONS FROM AV 11-12 (2008)
And this above distortion is not an isolated instance, in this very
short 2-page discourse, 'The Starting Point and the Last Point', there
are many errors:
[2] THE TILJALA TEAM WRONGLY PRINTED:
"Now there are so many controllers in different fields and different
spheres of our life. There are so many..."
BABA ACTUALLY SPOKE:
"Now in different spheres, there are so many controllers, in different
spheres of our life, there are..."
Thus in the above sentence, they switched the ordering of every word,
completely changing the phrasing as well as the meaning of Baba's
original discourse. Plus they injected some of their own words as well.
Then there are these sentences that are also wrongly presented.
[3] THE TILJALA TEAM WRONGLY PRINTED:
"...because in that case AN order is followed or obeyed due to a fear
complex"
BABA ACTUALLY SPOKE:
"...because in that case THE order is followed or obeyed due to a fear
complex"
And here is another example.
[4] THE TILJALA TEAM WRONGLY PRINTED:
"we won't allow any entity"
BABA ACTUALLY SPOKE:
"...we won't allow any SUCH entity"
So Baba's discourse is completely pointed and moving in a particular
direction where each and every word holds deep meaning, yet the Tiljala
Publications team moves away from Baba's actual words, on each and every
page. And that adversely affects the intention and accuracy of the
discourse.
Amazingly, this is all done after the Tiljala teams gives us assurance
and brags how they have made "meticulous efforts". But if this is the
best they can do, it is scary. Because each and every page has distortions.
Remember that this is the third letter of this series and there are
margiis saying that 20 more letters can be written about the defects of
this one publication, Ananda Vacanamrtam Part 11-12 (2008).
Here is another example from a different discourse, 'The Only Cult',
printed in the same book, AV-12.
[5] THE TILJALA TEAM WRONGLY PRINTED:
"A weak boy, or say a weak girl, physically weak or mentally weak or
even weak in SPIRITUAL VITALITY, has also got the birthright to attain
salvation."
BABA ACTUALLY SPOKE:
"A weak boy, or say a weak girl, physically weak or mentally weak or
even weak in SPIRIT OF VITALITY, has also got the birthright to attain
salvation."
So once again, what the Tiljala team has written is entirely wrong and
portrays a vastly different meaning. Here Baba is not saying that anyone
is weak in the spiritual sphere, Baba is merely saying that if one has
less vitality, but in their sloppy way of printing discourses, the
Tiljala crew could not properly print Baba's discourse.
SEVERITY OF THE SITUATION
The Tiljala team has the original cassette; they have money; they have
personnel; they have everything, but they are unable to properly print
AM books. Rather they distort every publication. And on the top, they
are unwilling to share the original cassette with interested and
dedicated margiis, as if margiis do not deserve to hear Baba's words or
as if margiis are not to be trusted with Baba's things.
But the real reason, is that the Tiljala team wants to control the
situation and be able to make as many mistakes as they like and make as
many distortions as they like, without anyone else knowing.
Otherwise what is the need to be so tight-fisted with Baba's discourses.
In this digital era it is so easy to share audio files. But Tiljala
never makes such an offer. Rather they continue to condemn the margiis
as not being worthy.
Plus Tiljala wants to be the only ones to make money from selling Baba's
books. And they charge a high price as well.
That is why the only answer is to NOT BUY THE BOOK. Do not buy Ananda
Vacanamrtam Part 11-12 (2008). In Tiljala's mind, only money talks. Only
then will they stop distorting Baba's discourses.
THE ONLY SOLUTION
Here Baba gives the only solution about stopping the sinful misdeeds of
those purposely distorting Baba's holy discourses. Remember, these are
not simple mistakes, but rather gross errors part of a 20 year period of
scriptural distortion. So we must pay heed to Baba's below mandate.
Baba says, "To solve this cause of sin, the intellectual approach does
not work. The dogmatic-minded people, the traditional people, are
neither human beings nor animals. They do not listen to reason. They are
to be struck, and those who do the striking are sadvipras. The striking
is to be done with a hammer! They are to be hit not with a hammer, but
with a sledge hammer. " (AFPS-6, 'Three Causes of Sin')
Thus we must take a strong hand against Sarvatmananda's ways of
distortion. Otherwise he will go on and on making one mistake and
distortion after another in Baba's books.
For everyone's reference here are earlier letters on this important topic.

BABA'S BLESSING
We must not allow more distorted books like Ananda Vacanamrtam Part
11-12 (2008) to come into circulation. Nor should we purchase such
faulty books. That is the only way.
Baba says, "The scriptures containing spiritual injunctions must be
totally flawless." (NSS)
Namaskar,
Karma Rasa
Note 1: ABOUT KIRIT AND THOSE INVOLVED
Kirit Dave of California is Sarvatmananda's right-hand man in printing
these distorted books.
All in all, Kirit is like a simple person who knowingly is the friend of a
confirmed thief, even then the simple person does not like to leave the
company of that thief, because he is a friend etc.
Such a weak-minded, simple person is like Karna of the Mahabharata.
Despite his valor he supported the notorious villain Duryodhana and
invited all kinds of tragedies in his life.
Such is Kirit's fate.
Sarvatmananda does not want to fix anything and he has stooges in place
to carry out his agenda.
If such simple people help, then those villains get a
lot of power; Kirit is doing misdeeds and appeasing the public and
duping the common people by continuing to participate in the printing of
distorted books like AV 11-12 (2008). Indeed, Kirit is the main
mouthpiece bragging again and again how the new books are perfect.
In this way, Sarvatmananda has many people who are sincere but blind.
All in all, they are wasting their time in this ephemeral world; and the
well-intentioned desire of such simple people like Kirit will never be
fulfilled. It will remain in dream only, so long as they live under the
spell of Sarvatmananda.

Maharshi Patanjali: Incorrect
Baba says, "According to Patanjali, yoga is the suspension of mental
propensities. But this interpretation of yoga by Maharshi Patanjali is
not accepted by Tantra. Tantra says, the unification of jiiva'tma' with
Parama'tma' is yoga. Sam'yoga means "unification", and yoga ityukto
means "known as yoga". So here Tantra has moved a step further." Patna,
2nd September, 1978
