From: == NEWS: LOOT AND BOOTY SHARING ==
Namaskar,
Our AM schools and services projects are founded for the welfare of
society and to spread the divine gospel of Shrii Shrii Anandamurtijii.
This we all know.
To see any such project get misused or hijacked by selfish or group
interest is a direct front against Guru.
Thus Ananda Margiis across the globe should take direct and active
interest in the awful financial scandal that has taken place at our AM
Polytechnic College (Malur, Karnataka).
At present, as we speak, the groups involved are trying to keep
everything under the covers so they can continue to loot and keep their
booty. For the first time, the entire story is told here within this
letter.
Please read carefully and act according.
ABOUT THE POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE
(KARNATAKA, INDIA)
All may know that we have our Ananda Marga Polytechnic College (Diploma
in Engineering) in Malur, near Bengalore, Karnataka.
Students get admission in this college on the basis of big capitation
fees (donation in lakhs of rupees), and large monthly tuition fees. In
this way this institution generates a huge amount of money, more than
one million US dollars per year.
That's why all groups have their greedy eyes on this college.
SOME OF THE HISTORY
When the Kolkata administration divided AMPS, then they could not capture
this institution because all the margiis and the entire staff at the college
were against Kolkata.
The Rudrananda camp had full control over the college. It should be
noted that Parmehsvara'nanda and Vandana'nanda were also hardcore cadre
of H group those days.
But times change. When the EC group emerged under the leadership of
Parmeshvara'nanda and Vandana'nanda, then the situation at this college,
also changed.
The in-charge of the Polytechnic College was Animesha'nanda, who is
originally from Chattisgarah but he has only minimal Chattisgarhii
sentiment. He changed his loyalty to Vandana'nanda + Parmeshvara'nanda.
Plus margiis of those areas under the leadership of S.S. Goenka also
became supporters of this group.
THE COLLEGE GETS DIVIDED INTO TWO GROUPS
Because of this groupism one big tussle started in the college.
The college staff divided into two groups.
(#1) One group was of Animesha'nadna + Citshiva'nanda (who went there to
give muscle support to Animesha'nanda) and some staffs of the college
teaching section, who were supporter of EC.
(#2) Other group emerged in the leadership of Arun (from Gaya, Bihar)
the hostel in-charge who has been living in the college for years. He
has group ties with Vishvanath (from Bihar, he lives there to save the
college from outside criminals), Ravi (from Gaya), Pankaj (teaching staff from
Varanasi, relative of Ravii) and other staffs of the hostel.
WHO CONTROLS WHAT
After some days of tussle, finally both groups captured certain areas of
the college and shifted there accordingly.
The teaching department of the college came under the control of
Animesha'nanda. He receives tuition fees from the students, pays the
teaching staff and other college staff, and "manages" the money he gets
from tuition fees and capitation fees.
The other group captured the hostel. In turn, they collect hostel
charges from the students, and basically deal with all monies related
with the hostel and living accommodations & services etc.
Animesha'nanda never had control over the hostel.
HUGE LOOTING GOING ON:
HOW THEY DO IT
For the last 4 years, both of these two groups have been looting the
money they were getting, i.e. embezzlement. They've been stuffing their
pockets and personal bank accounts with the monies collected when in
fact those funds are the rightful property of the AM Polytechnic
College, not those greedy groupists.
In short, because there was no proper administration, there has been a
huge money scandal unfolding at the college. Still it is going on.
Animesha'nanda, who gets millions as capitation fees and tuition fees,
pays huge shares to his dons like Parmeshvara'nanda and Vandana'nanda,
and also to what some margiis call the "hi profile margiis" in the name
of margii meetings.
In return, all Animesha'nanda does is arrange one sadhana' shivir per
year -- that's all, nothing more. Thus, he personally pockets huge piles
of money and tuition / capitation fees every year. This literally then
is a case of millions of dollars of embezzlement that he steals from our
AM Polytechnic College.
The other group embezzles a sizable amount from the hostel and they were
also happy with that huge amount they were saving per month. Arun is all in
all of the hostel. He has been living with his family there since years.
Here everyone should be clear that all money (after expenditure of
hostel) was being distributed to the members of group. Money was not used
for the development of college or organization.
Thus, both the parities involved are cheating the AM Polytechnic college
by grabbing hoards of monies for their personal and groupist desires.
LONG-STANDING COLD WAR
Since years there has been a cold war at the college. Both groups have had
their greedy eyes and insatiable appetites on each others holdings and
money.
Animesha'nanda and his goon Citshiva'nanda were always trying to capture
the hostel while the other group was always trying to capture the
teaching side of the college.
Because of this fight, there has not been a proper teaching or learning
environment at the college. Instead, our AM Polytechnic College has been
transformed into a place of cheap sentiments, politics, crookedness,
groupism and money looting.
MORE RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Finally, Citshiva'nanda has started taking the hostel fees from the
Chattisgarhi students. In reply the other group started taking tuition
fees from the students of Bihar, Jharkhanda and UP.
Then Citshiva'nanda organized Chattisgarhi students living in hostel
against the hostel in-charge and his group. With the help of these students
and local hired goondas, Citshiva'nanda tried to capture the hostel.
Then the other group replied in the same manner. Hostel staffs,
Vishvanath, Ravi and students from Bihar, Jharkhanda, UP attacked on
Chattisgarhi group. After a physical fight (lathis, hockeysticks,
knives, local made guns were shown) Citshiva'nanda had to leave the
college.
In the end, the police also came to the college to manage the unruly scene.
TEAM RANCHI MOVES IN
The hostel group then called Ranchi administration for help and the
Rudrananda camp who has been keeping a greedy eye on the money, did not
delay a moment.
Svarupa'nanda and Dharmapra'n'a'nanda (Chennai DS) went to the college.
They stayed at the college to establish a presence and control the college.
The Rudrananda camp has declared Dharmapra'n'a'nanda as in-charge of the
college. So Dharmapra'n'a'nanda and Ranchi supporter hero Sushil from
Katihar are at the college.
Nigama'nanda from Ranchi and Parmeshvara'nanda from Patna have reached
Bengalore. They are involved in arm-wrestling match with each other at
the bargaining table.
Now situation is very tense.
WHY ALL ARE KEEPING MUM
Now we have to investigate why - despite all these antics and commotion
- both camps are keeping quiet about all this.
Because we have to remember that whenever any member of the Rudrananda
camp / H group enters even a small ashram operated by EC or intrudes on
any small and useless issue, then the EC personnel colour the whole
internet and make it a big issue. All their e-mailers become active.
They become totally vocal.
So it is very surprising that on this big issue about the AM Polytechnic
College, where Rudrananda camp is storming and capturing the college and
where a nasty physical fight has occurred, the entire EC team is keeping
mum.
Why? They are not telling a single word. Why?
Animesha'nanda is telling that he will solve the problems and he does
not need help of any margii. Why? Is it not a point of intrigue?
When H group kicked out Parmehsvara'nanda and Vandana'nanda and others
then EC went to all margiis and begged for help and still they are crying
for help.
But in the case of this Malur Polytechnic College issue, why is it that
they do not want margiis to interfere? Why is the EC leadership of
Parmeshvara'nanda going to sit with Nigma'nanda directly to solve the
problem? Is it not strange and out of character?
The answer of all these question is: To keep all the money they have
looted and keep the scandal secret.
For this single reason, neither group wants to highlight the situation.
If margiis are alerted and come forward and look into the matter then
all will know that for the last many years millions of dollars money
have been looted and embezzled from our AM Polytechnic College by these
very groupists.
EC does not want to to reveal this multi-million dollar scandal and the
Rudrananda camp wants either full control of the college or a maximum
share in the looted amount.
Hence both group leaders are in contact to solve this problem secretly
on a give-and-take basis at the bargaining table. They prefer to make a
black pact and keep their millions as opposed to letting the margiis
know what hell has happened.
That's why Animesha'nadna is telling margiis not to come forward and EC
supporters & e-mailers are keeping mum.
MARGIIS MUST COME FORWARD
When our AM Polytechnic College is being ravaged by groupists and when
all the projects of AM are meant to be in the service of Gurudev and
humanity - not in the hands of greedy groups - then we should be alert,
ready to take action and apply pressure.
In that case it is the duty of all Ananda Margiis to unitedly rise up
and correct the situation. This much we owe our Beloved Baba. We must
not sit idle thinking others will do. It is our personal responsibility
to stand up and act.
As margiis we should not wait for an invitation from any group.
Responsible margiis, those who are not puppets of any group, should come
forward and critically look into the matter. The account books should be
audited by independent auditors and the ongoing looting and money
scandal should be stopped.
All monies earned by the Polytechnic College in Malur should be used for
the development of the college, not sucked up by groupist tycoons for
their personal gain.
BABA'S WARNING:
SINFUL TO REMAIN IDLE
Now that the news is out, we should be swift to take action. Sitting
idle amounts to sin according to Baba - a sin of omission.
Baba says, "Those who shirk duties and responsibilities do commit a
great harm to society. It is this lack of dutifulness in our country
[India] today that has caused great retardation in different spheres of
life. It has also caused spiritual degeneration. One should perform good
actions regularly, should do sa'dhana' properly – these are the dos
which everyone is expected to perform. Those who do not pay heed to
these responsibilities do indulge in pratyava'ya. Pa'taka is the
collective name of pa'pa and pratyava'ya." (AV-23)
Thus we should not remain still a moment longer while such groupists
pillage and destroy our Polytechnic College in Malur.
BABA'S BLESSING
By Baba's grace He has empowered us with the ability to take action and
change the course of events - turning bad situations into positive ones.
In this way, we must rally round and save our Polytechnic College from
the clutches of these groupist forces.
Baba says, "The very import of the history of human welfare is the
history of struggle and strife. Even the sweet gospels of peace could
not be preached in an environment of peace and composure. Devils did not
allow the apostle of peace to work peacefully – that is why I say that
peace is the outcome of fight.
"This endeavour at the well-being of the human race concerns everyone –
it is yours, mine and ours. We may afford to ignore our rights, but we
must not forget our responsibilities. Forgetting the responsibility
implies the humiliation of the human race..." (A'nanda Va'nii #45)
Namaskar,
Manjit
****************************************
Dangerous Yoga
Baba says, "Suppose, one is a great Yogii but if there is no love for his
goal, then those suspended propensities will finally be converted into
crude matter. That is, the subtle human existence becomes like iron; it
becomes like wood; it becomes like sand. What a deterioration! What a
downfall! This particular type of yoga where a yogii does not bear love for
the Supreme Entity is called 'Hatha Yoga' in Samskrta. It is dangerous for
human elevation." (AV-2, p.18)
Note: Nowadays, especially in European countries, in the name of teaching
yoga certain pseudo-yoga-businessmen are busy selling their useless and
dirty things to the common public by opening various yoga and meditation
centres. But in those places citing the God's name is untouchable. And not
only that but they teach all kinds of fake lessons such as misguided
pranayama and self-invented asanas etc. But when the Goal is not Parama
Purusa then that ultimately brings terrible degeneration. Neither is the
unassuming public aware nor are these culprits aware what hell they are
bringing upon innocent people. It is our duty as far as possible to warn
everyone for their welfare.
