== HISTORY OF LAND SALE: WHO IS REAL CULPRIT ==
Namaskar,
Here is the important and recent history of Ananda Marga in the post
1990 era that deals with the sale of our AM Baba Quarter's land in
Patna. The reason why this is so critically important is that we should
not repeat such errors. We must learn from history.
Now many are talking and reporting about the sale of our AM etc, yet if
we had taken into consideration the history of old, then that would not
be a problem today.
Most Patna margiis know that Centre's intention was to sell Baba Quarter
land in Patna. Many margiis protested but ultimately Centre did not
change its view.
However, when this news was printed in a circular then Centre decided
that the land would not be sold. So, due to that circular, Patna BQ land
was saved - at least temporarily so.
Because later in secret, behind closed doors, those sold that land. Here
is the story of how it happened. This all occurred in 1998.
HOW IT ALL STARTED: AN ENVOY IS SENT
Initially when Mantreshvarananda planned to sell the Patna Baba Quarters
(BQ) land, he sent an envoy led by Karunananda to explain to margiis
about the need to sell the land. These Dadas tried hard to convince the
Patna margiis but such Dadas could not turn the tide in their favour.
The margiis did not want Baba's land sold.
MARGIIS REMEMBER THEIR VOW TO BABA
Margiis remembered how Baba stayed there and how it was reported that
this will become a full-fledged BQ. Margiis promised Baba that any and
all unfinished buildings will be completed soon. All this they
remembered well.
So the margiis told to Karunananda and Co that Baba stayed here and we
have taken the vow to keep the land and complete the projects.
Even then, for certain reasons Mantreshvarananda was adamanent to sell
that land.
When the Margiis News Bulletin publication (MNB) circulated this news
all around then there was big commotion so Mantreshvarananda assured
them that this Patna BQ land would not be sold.
THE LAND GOT SOLD SECRETLY
But then after a few months Mantreshvarananda & Co arranged to secretly
and legally sell the land via the Kolkata courts. By this way they sold
the Patna land there.
This needed some maneuvering because in order to sell land in India one
must have registry in that state. But in some special cases by the
court's permission or by payment (i.e. bribe), you can sell any Indian
land in any place. That is what they did. They sold that Patna land
which is the state of Bihar by using the land registry office of Kolkata
with the approval of the court which is in the state of West Bengal.
Why? Because of the uproar of the Patna margiis.
Mantreshvarananda knew that he would never be able to convince such
margiis to sell the Patna Baba BQ land, so he stealthily got it done
this other way - i.e. through the Kokata courts.
Thus, in the summer of 1998 the Patna land was secretly sold by the
collective efforts of H and B group, as they were under one umbrella
that time. The land paper was secretly signed by then GS
Mantreshvarananda with the collusion of H group, as what we call the
present groups were under the same roof those days.
(Note: The various groups that we know today started in 2003 when the
separation occurred and PP Dada was taken by one of the groups.)
So it was then that all the main Wts plotted together to sell the Patna
land. This was all done in spite of huge protest of Patna Margiis.
MORE ABOUT THAT SCENE
That time, all factions were not existing those days openly, they were
working together under one roof. But internally unofficial factions was
there in their mind but in an organisational manner and working style
they were all on the same team.
That Patna Baba Quarter land was worth of 40 lakhs rupees. That was the
equivalent of the purchasing capacity of 40 middle class families'
entire life savings, back in 1998.
MARGIIS PROTEST AT JUNE DMS (1998)
After this incident Patna margiis were full of fury so in DMS a group of
margiis reached to see PP Dada to express their grievances.
There, in the PP quarter, hired Gundas (those days it was common for the
top Dadas were hiring gundhas, i.e. thugs, whereas and now they just
hire the police) beat and punched mercilessly those Patna margiis.
Among those who got beating were Mohan TT, Niranjain (All Indian
President of UPSF) and so many other and family acaryas and margiis of
different age groups.
We should not forget that time the AM kingdom was controlled by all
groups together group. This news was first posted back in 1998.
Now you must have understood who is the real culprit.
Namaskar,
Motilal
